Kellan Lutz has stated in an 'Access Hollywood' interview he will be 'crashing in Rob's (Robert Pattinson) room'. This will be in Italy. I wonder why he's filming in Italy... Emmett doesn't have much to do in Italy at all.. Kellan also talks about the whole 'Slade's comments' thing, and he denies having a Twitter.

Take a look at what Summit Entertainment posted to Twilight Lexicon to tell us Twilight Fans.
In any case, here is David, unedited and in his own words:“Dear Laura and LoriI would be grateful if you could distribute this statement tothe fans of Twilight:I would like to address some statements that I made regarding Twilight.When I made these comments, I had neither seen the film nor read the books. I was promoting a comedy short film that I had made for Xbox and every pop culture subject was seen as a possible comedy target. I was being silly and none of the statements were from the heart.Of course, I have since seen the movie and read the books and was quickly consumed with the rich storytelling and the beautifully honest characters that Stephenie Meyer created.I would like to reassure everyone involved that I am invested in making the best film that I am humanly capable of, and that I am acutely aware of the power of the original books we serve.Please be rest assured this statement is absolutely from the heart.yours sincerelyDAVID SLADE”

A Freer Adaptation of the Book
Some of you were confused by the casting of the young fellow pictured here as one of the Volturi, who seem older in the book. But that's just the kind of decision-making that gives me hope. Fans are going to show up no matter what, so I don't think it's imperative that New Moon be as literal an adaptation as Twilight was. Some things will work better on the page than on the screen, and vice versa. For example, Edward is mostly MIA in this book, but I've heard whisperings (and seen evidence) that Robert Pattinson will be in plenty of the movie — thank goodness.

Two Words: Wolf Pack
And let me add a third word: hot. Dang, that's a fine-looking bunch of wolves. A movie with those abs and Pattinson's hair has to work hard to go too wrong.

Cool Special Effects
The special effects in the first movie were pretty laughable in parts, which could be distracting. Focusing on the story is a good thing, but when a huge part of the tale has to do with vampires flying through the air and now boys changing into wolves, you need a director that knows how to pull off the visual part. Director Chris Weitz (pictured here) gets story (About a Boy) and special effects (The Golden Compass). I feel good about him being at the helm.

It Might Be Scary
In a recent interview, Pattinson talked about playing Edward this time around, telling Entertainment Tonight, "I really want it to be disturbing." Apparently, there's even a demonic dream sequence involved. Moony, lovelorn stuff is all well and good, but Edward is a vampire and Bella is in danger by loving him. I'm crossing my fingers Pattinson didn't exaggerate. I'd like New Moon to be pretty scary.
I feel for Bella! I'm going to cry when dear Edward says that line in the movie. I did when I read the book, multiple times. Ahhh!
I wondered to myself why no one else had seen him standing so far away, before he was suddenly, impossibly saving my life. With chagrin, I realized the probable cause — no one else was as aware of Edward as I always was. No one else watched him the way I did. How pitiful.
