Twilight Coven Philippines

Summit Entertainment has announced that they will hold a panel at the 2009 San Diego International Comic Convention for The Twilight Saga: New Moon on the July 23 (Thursday) slot. As in last year's Twilight panel, Summit is bringing in some of the stars of the film, and will be showing exclusive footage. If you are planning on attending the event, one-day passes for Thursday are available for purchase (but it looks like there are only a few left!) at the Comic-Con website. If there's a TCP reader out there who is headed to Comic-Con, please let us know! We'd love to have a correspondent there.

While Robert Pattinson is in the 2009 Cannes International Film Festival promoting The Twilight Saga: New Moon and Remember Me for Summit Entertainment, he revealed to The Hollywood Reporter that he is committed to doing the Breaking Dawn film, confirming that it is at least on Summit's development list. However, he also said there is no start date for it yet. Everglow has a great collection of photos of Rob in Cannes here.

Adding to the list of Rob's already long list of upcoming movies is the adaptation of Guy de Maupassant's Bel Ami, which is scheduled to start principal photography next year. This is the latest in a string of new projects for our very much in-demand favorite vampire, which already includes The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, Remember Me, and Unbound Captives.

Also, it's confirmed! Alice gets to drive the infamous yellow Porsche in New Moon! Twilighters Italia have pics and video from the production in Montepulciano here.

After Summit announced the green-lighting of the New Moon production, various sites have been posting related articles. Most notable are these two: MSNBC is reporting that the New Moon script is finished, and MTV talks New Moon with Catherine Hardwicke and some of the actors here.

The final box-office numbers for Twilight's opening weekend have been revealed, and the film raked in a resounding $69.6M. Click here for more box-office info.

Pinoy Twilighters have been enjoying seeing the Volvo C30 Sports Coupe in the Twilight Mall Invasion. Variety.com now has an article about the car, and the official Volvo website already has a page dedicated to the model and its connection to Twilight. Remember that you can see the Volvo C30 up close during the Twilight Mall Invasion at SM Megamall (Cinema Lobby), Trinoma, Gateway, Robinson's Galleria, and SM Mall of Asia (near IMAX).
