Entertainment Weekly has the starts of their Comic-Con Star portraits up and running on their site!!

So far they’ve got some awesome shots for the ‘New Moon’ cast, Megan Fox from this fall’s ‘Jennifer’s Body’, Stan Lee, and more.

Check out some of my faves:

Stan Lee

New Moon Cast: Ashley Greene, Rob Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner

And what I think is my favorite so far…

Rachelle Lefevre

A flyer was being handed out yesterday during the Summit Entertainment Comic-Con panel with important information regarding the soundtrack to ‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon’!!!

That information would the release date!! According to the flyer (see below), the anticapted sountrack will be released on Oct 13, 2009!!  That is a more more then a month before the movie’s release date of Nov 20, 2009.

As reported yesterday, director Chris Weitz already confirmed 2 artists for the soundtrack Bon Iver, and Radiohead’s Thom Yorke!!!

Last years soundtrack to ‘Twilight’ debuted at #1 on the billboard chats and iTunes and remained on the chart for almost #16 weeks!!!

Finally there seems to be a decent transcript of the Q&A portion from the New Moon panel at yesterday’s Comic-Con!!!

L.A. Times has what appears to be a pretty good run down of all the fan questions and the cast’s answers.

“Your characters are all very selfish. What part of yourselves did you use to bring that out? How are you like your characters?”

Ashley Greene: Not that hard to be selfish really.
Kristen Stewart: It’s a virtue.
AG: With Alice, she’s very optimistic and positive, I def try to be positive. I’m generally a very happy person.
Taylor Lautner: I’m more like Jacob’s pre-trans side. Before he goes wacko. I hope I’m more friendly and outgoing.
Chris Weitz to RP: I noticed you’re very cold to the touch and your skin’s like marble and you glow like diamonds in the sun.
RP: I don’t know.

There are also quite a few videos roaming the net from the panel, so far it looks as if HallHCoverage over at YouTube as the best:

Part 1

Part 2

There are 5 more parts that can be seen at HallHCoverage Channel.

At yesterday’s ‘Dexter’ panel at Comic-Con the trailer for season 4 was released, and even though I’m still playing catch up on the show, it looks pretty awesome. Our favorite serial killer now has a wife and kids to deal with!!!

If you can the season premiere of Dexter on Sunday Sept 27th on Showtime.  That still gives you sometime to catch up on the last 3 seasons!!!

I am hearing word via Twitter that the Summit Entertainment panel featuring ‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon’ has ended.

Here is what I know happened for sure, 2 scene’s were shown 1)Bella & Jacob with the dirt bikes and the ghost like Edward 2) the Italy scene with Alice & Bella racing to save Edwards life!!!

Update: Twilight Source just put the descriptions of the new scenes!! Warning Spoiler Alert

- the first one was when Bella gets on the motorcyle for the first time. Bella gets on the bike, Jacob is adjacent to her. He’s teaching her how to clutch and hold the breaks. As she starts to understand he lets go. He tells Bella to let off the clutch, when all of a sudden you see ghost Edward reach down and clutch one of the handles on the bike. Bella reacts and Jacob says “What’s wrong?”. Bella replies “nothing” and gets rolling. When Bella is riding there are flashes of Edward. She crashes, starts to bleed, and then Jacob takes off his shirt to stop the bleeding.

- the second one goes right into the chase. Bella is twitching and freaking out the entire time while Alice is driving with a scarf on her head. They zoom past lots of red cloaked figures. Bella wonders what’s up and Alice explains it’s St. Marcus Day. Bella gets stopped multiple times to find the clock tower. She stops at the water fountain and finally sees Edward. She scrambles, and sees Edward between two huge doors. His shirt is slightly unbuttoned. You see Bella run with full force in slow motion. She does a heroic jump when she leaps into the fountain while yelling “No Edward don’t! No!”. You see a shot of Edward’s foot and a bit of sunlight. As his foot gets just an inch away from the sun light, it suddenly cuts to “NEW MOON”.

G4.com had an awesome live blog going that was actually working (text only, no videos or pics) and several Fansites were twittering in pics!!!

Update 2: Twilight Lexicon just posted their wrap-up from the panel including another description of the 2 clips that were seen.

They are working on getting the Q&A videos up now.

“…One of the most memorable questions was when they were all asked about what they were looking forward to doing in future films.  Ashley said she wanted to do the heavy fight scene in Eclipse.  Taylor said he was looking forward to the deeper love triangle and the tent scene.  But it was Rob and Kristen’s answers that really got the crowd reaction.  Kristen said she couldn’t wait to REALLY get pregnant, putting a jib in the many media outlets that was posted rumors to the fact that she was already pregnant.  Then Rob said he was looking forward to the cesarean birth in Breaking Dawn.”

Update 3: EW.com has a nice video up with Director Chris Weitz and cast members Taylor Lautner, Ashely Greene, Kristen Stewart, and Rob Pattinson.

There are some great Rob moments in the almost 5 min long video.

Update 4: E! has a great video interview up with Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner!!

This has to be one of the best interviews I’ve seen Kristen give, by the end of it she looked like she was having fun.  Also a bit of Twitter news, Taylor said that he has recently gotten a Twitter account but it’s not up and running yet!!

I’m not sure at this point if the scene’s that were shown will be officially released, but I’m going to guess they’ll be popping up on YouTube shortly (I won’t post them on the site unless they are officially released)

I’m working on getting a good play by play of the questions asked, and I’ll update THIS post when its done!!!
