Because we got there so late, we missed all of Rob’s scenes. This is how his scenes were filmed, and how they are going to incorporate more of him into the movie than the book: In this scene in the movie, Bella leaves the theatre with Jessica (the first time she goes to the theatre, not the second time when she goes with Mike and Jacob)… and encounters the same gang that she did in the first movie. And they’ve got motorcycles. She decides to go on a joyride with one of the gang members to try to upset Edward into appearing in her head again. Only in this particular movie scene, they actually filmed Rob Pattinson standing right beside Kristen Stewart telling her not to go, with Kristen standing and talking to the gang member beside his bike. (I’m sure they’ll make him an apparition in post-production editing)

So that’s my best guess at the Bella motorcycle mystery based on what I saw on set. This scene is not like New Moon… in the book, her and Jessica see the gang members sitting in a pub through the window. There was never any motorcycle scenes. The ones ones in the book are with Taylor Lautner on dirtbikes and he wasn’t there. (He was filming the scenes where he jumped from Bella’s window at the Swan house set tonight) What do you think? Why is Kristen on a motorcycle when it’s not in the books?

"At least one very important person in the movie adaptations of Stephenie Meyer’s vampire love story thinks Tatum would be perfect to play bad-boy vampire Riley in Eclipse, the third in the four-book series.

“There’s a very big battle at the end with Riley, and I think Channing would do that so well,” Twilight and New Moon screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg, who is currently writing the Eclipse script, told us this weekend at the Los Angeles Times Book Festival benefit for the Writers Guild Foundation.

“And there are some complexities to that character," she adds. "He really is tragic. He’s a puppet for Victoria [bad-girl vampire played by Rachelle Lefevre]. So he has to break your heart a little bit at the end when he realizes that she doesn’t want him. Channing could do that beautifully.” (Source)

So, Melissa Rosenberg like Channing, but.....the fans in the comments seem to like Craig Deering from Evil Iguana Productions for the role!

May 2009 marks the first anniversary of Novel Novice Twilight � and we’re celebrating in a big way!

In May 2008, Site founder & lit teacher Tiffany Truitt started Novel Novice Twilight as a blog, to keep track of her 8th grade students’ work on the Twilight novel. She found that Twilight was the perfect way to get students labeled as “difficult to teach” to get excited about reading. And from the founding of her little site, it has quickly blossomed into something so much bigger!

So to celebrate our first anniversary, and to say “thank you” to all of you who’ve supported us over the last year, we have an entire month’s worth of celebrations planned! We’ll be bringing you new goodies throughout the week (so be sure to check back regularly!), such as contests, fan features, new videos, new graphics & more!

And be sure to check back all month-long for more exciting goodies for Novel Novice Twilight's 1st Anniversary!
