We had heard that Rob (Kristen & Taylor – I’m obliged to mention them too) were to be presenting a snippet of footage from New Moon at this year’s MTV Movie Awards on Sunday.  MTV has now confirmed that what they will be presenting is the first official trailer from the movie.  Screams of delight – will there be footage of the breakup scene, the clocktower (like we can get enough of that), Eddie and Jacob fighting – ooh the suspense.   Well unfortunately for us Aussies, we won’t get the Awards until 4.00 pm on 1 June, but thankfully MTV are going to upload the trailer onto their site on Sunday night 10.45 pm (LA time) – that’s about 3.45 pm Monday 1 June (Sydney time).  If you want to save the link for ease on Monday, click on the highlighted MTV above, but I’m going to have to practice patience since I’m expecting the amount of hits on that site will cause it to have a serious meltdown – oh and I know I should have included the New Moon poster with this post, but seriously …

‘New Moon’ won’t come out in cinemas until another six months but we can now look at their website while we wait. The official ‘New Moon’ site isn’t completely ready yet, but you can read a short synopsis of the story, download wallpapers, send e-cards or get the movie widget. Click here to go to the ‘New Moon’ official site.

We’d also like to say ‘thanks’ to the source of this news, the  ‘New Moon Movie.org‘ website that has been around since beginning of the year, giving us comprehensive news and keeping us updated on the movie.

Bel Ami has now been listed on Rob’s IMDb as “In Development”.  It says “more information on IMDbPro”, but there really isn’t more information there, except to say it’s been optioned.   As for preliminary cast, again it’s only listing Rob at the moment.  I can understand why noone else may be cast for this film, but I wonder when they are going to let us know who will be joining Rob in Remember Me.  They certainly like to tease and keep us guessing.

Our affiliate, Pattinson Anonymous has a source who is able to to tell us a bit more on Rob’s role in ‘Unbound Captives’.  They’re asking you to please note that there’s no confirmation from anyone on Rob’s team that he’s signed on for this project, (although Variety is usually accurate with their information).

Here is a short snippet  on Rob’s role in ‘Unbound Captives’.

• As indicated in information published on the internet, Phineas was kidnapped as a child and assimilated in a Comanche tribe.
• Phineas (all descriptions here are of the character at age 17) is described as having long hair and pierced ears, presumably in the 19th-century Comanche style.
• Virtually all of his lines are in Comanche.
• The character’s Comanche name is Tsomo, which means “bead”.
• Yes, he rides a horse…bareback.  He rides quite a bit, actually.

Rob’s IMDb page finally lists Unbound Captives as in “pre-production”.  I see that John Toll has also been confirmed as the cinematographer – now considering he did Legends of the Fall (so he definitely has the epic/western experience) and Braveheart (he won back to back Oscars for both these films – one of only 2 cinematographers to do so) – can things get any more exciting about this film.

I understand that there may also be some confusion about Rob’s role and whether he is the son of Rachel Weisz or Hugh Jackman.  He is definitely playing Rachel’s son and his character’s name is …. 

Don’t be nervous Rob – I promise I won’t reveal any details yet.  Stay tuned.

According to ‘Comme au Cinema‘, Rob will be in Cannes this following Tuesday, the 19th of May. Thanks to Seren Dipity, here’s a translation of the article:

Robert Pattinson will be in Cannes on Tuesday !!

Oh my God, my fingers are shaking and my heart is racing : Safe sources have just announced that Robert Pattinson – THE Robert Pattinson who dazzles the whole planet since he shows his fangs in Twilight – will be in Cannes on Tuesday, the 19th !! He will also appear on Canal + TV show “Grand Journal” and will climb the famous Steps !

Riots, landslides and trucks of tissues are already expected because it is gonna be a huge storm – what am I saying – a Pattinson tsunami which is going to reach Cannes next week. You are not already there ? Never mind,  don’t panic, rent a car, jump on a train or take a plane and for you we will reserve a little place to see the most beautiful vampire on Earth. It might even make us forget that Brad Pitt is climbing the famous steps the day after…
