Hot Topic now also has the NECA Edward Cullen Action Figure up for pre-order on their site. MTV also has an article about it here.
Reelz Channel has a video update about New Moon.
Spoiler.tv got a hold of the casting call for New Moon here. The first thing I noticed was that Aro was missing from the list. Fortunately, Lana Veenker, who was one of the casting directors for Twilight, has just posted an update about New Moon on her blog, and she also answered my question:
"If a major role is not listed on the breakdown at all, this usually means that the role has been cast, is currently in negotiation or is only open to name actors, so the CDs (casting directors) are not seeking submissions from talent agents at this time."
[This really got me thinking... could this have anything to do with it? No, no, CdL. Don't get your hopes up too much...]
Hehehe. This is really ireelevant but, I really like the little icon thing that moves. It's so cute.
Yey for Catherine! That's so cool. However, sorry HT/NECA/Tonner, the Edward doll looks like David Boreanaz to me. Maling bampira! Tsk, tsk, tsk.
@mae: I adore the icon too. =]
