This past weekend proved to be a pretty big one for Twilighters [including myself] with several movie announcements and Robert Pattinson's appearance at the Oscar's the other night. Since Nina's post last week about "The Twilight Saga's New Moon" title and movie art release, the MTV Movie Blog has also given word that Summit Entertainment has confirmed that "The Twilight Saga's Eclipse" is scheduled to premeire June 30, 2010! As excited as I am to hear this news, I'm still pretty anxious about the casting decisions for New Moon since we haven't heard anything concrete since Taylor Lautner was confirmed to reprise his role as Jacob Black. With filming scheduled to begin sometime next month, they're either pushing this to the last minute or keeping a SUPER tight lid on leaking out any casting info.
And for those who missed Rob hit the red carpet and present at the Oscar's, you can find videos of his interviews on MTV as well as searching YouTube. Many of you will be happy to note that the hair is indeed back. Check the video & pic below if you need proof.

Twilighters had something to look forward to a few days ago. On Feb. 19 MTV Movie Blog revealed the logo for the much anticipated sequel to "Twilight." Yep, just the logo. And note how it's not just called "New Moon," but "The Twilight Saga New Moon." That's a bit of a mouthful. O,o
As always, with movies there's merchandise. And that usually means TOYS. With the release of "Twilight," Neca came out with an Edward Cullen action figure (that looks nothing like Robert Pattinson). Now folks can recreate the meadow scene with this Edward & Bella set. Sorry ladies, he doesn't sparkle in the sun. There'll also be an Alice Cullen figure (not pictured).

Tonner will start shipping out their renditions of the modern star crossed lovers by spring. These 15" dolls are sold separately for $139.99.
