Live Streaming From Comic-Con-Read Below!!
I was originally going to report to check out ET’s live stream for your Comic Con news, but its not good. At all. So now I am going to recommend going to HitFix’s live blog to get all that New Moon dish we’ve all been dying for! When you go to HitFix, you’ll need to press refresh every once in a while to get the new updates, or just check back here cause we’ll keep updating as well! Here’s what it said so far (it gets interesting at 9:54 am): This is PACIFIC TIME!9:29 a.m. PT Excitement is building for me and 50+ of my closest friends. We’re all awaiting the start of Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart’s joint Comic-Con press conference for “The Twilight Saga: New Moon.” We all know that if we don’t cover the heck out of this press conference, we won’t have any chance to write about “Twilight” at this Comic-Con.
9:32 a.m. Well, no chance other than the Hall H panel — for which HitFix’s Greg Ellwood has been camped for hours — and the roundtable press conferences — set to be covered by HitFix’s Katie Hasty.
9:35 a.m. Don’t worry. We’re really going to have “Twilight” coverage aplenty.
9:46 a.m. The press conference has yet to start, but the throng of journalists milling around the microphones hoping to get the exact same pictures of Kristen, Robert and Taylor, is massive and growing antsy.
9:47 a.m. Just a warning that WiFi in this room is not what I’d like it to be. I’m going to try to update regularly, but if I can’t, I’ll just update the story post-panel…
9:51 a.m. Still no talent on the podium, but my tape recorder is there, meaning I’ll probably have three or four minutes of white noise (if I’m lucky) before anything happens.
9:54 a.m. There are ground-rule. “We’re here to talk about the ‘Twilight Saga: New Moon.’” That means no personal questions.
9:56 a.m. Taylor, Kristen and Robert arrive on stage. Kristen is in full-on Joan Jett mode, rave hair tussled. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen Rob’s hair look this conditioned.
9:57 a.m. “I think last year Comic-Con was the big eye-opener for us,” Lautner says, expressing excitement at being back this year.
9:58 a.m. “It would look probably pretty cheesy if it were just my voice, so they’ve done these hallucinations, semi-visible apparitions,” Pattinson says, explaining how he’s able to be in the movie when Edward is largely absent from the book.
9:59 a.m. Proteins, good carbs and cut the sugars. That was Taylor Lautner’s secret to become the buff Taylor we see before us. That and months and months and months with a personal trainer.
10:00 a.m. “There’s more to think about. It’s a more mature part. She’s older. She has more to deal with. Yeah. That’s it.” That’s how Stewart attempts to express how Bella is different this season.
10:01 a.m. “I’d like to think that I haven’t changed that much. Within myself, I don’t think I’ve changed. When I’m walking down the street, I look down a lot more often,” Pattinson says, explaining how his life has changed. He adds, “It seems to keep building, the magnitutde of this franchise.”
10:02 a.m. Lautner says he’s been so busy working and publicizing. “It’s crazy. None of us saw it coming. I don’t think any of us saw it coming.”
10:03 a.m. How has Stewart changed? “I cut my hair off.”
10:04 p.m. Lautner’s grateful to the fans, “It’s awesome that we get to see them all waiting for us again a year later.”
10:05 a.m. “I pretty much live an almost identical life apart from being recognized and that’s not necessarily the worst thing in the world.” He adds, “I never did anything normal anyway. I just get other people to do it now.”
10:06 a.m. “Sometimes it gets me nervous because I’m trying to live up to the fans expectations and represent Team Jacob in the right way.” – Lautner on Team Jacob.
10:07 a.m. Don’t worry. The stars all reassure us that Edward is in the movie plenty. You won’t miss him.
10:09 a.m. “I thought they did a pretty good job with the wolf transformation… The werewolves definitely step up the action in this movie. There’s double the action in this movie,” Lautner promises. He adds, “There’s also the beginning of a love triangle.”
10:10 a.m. Taylor and Kristen both have fond memories of their “breakup” scene, which was shot in 35 degrees with artificial rain. “That was bad and I wasn’t really wearing much,” Taylor says.
10:12 a.m. “I think my breakup scene was my favorite scene,” Pattinson says of the five-page dialogue sequence that’s distanced from the other supernatural aspects in the story. “Hopefully it will come off as having quite a few more levels than the relationship in ‘Twilight.’”
10:13 a.m. Why do people love “Twilight” so much? “I think a lot of the characters are very relatable,” Taylor says. Stewart praises the first-person narrative. This isn’t what the reporter wants. He wants to know why kids love vampires. “The problem is that when I look at it, I never look at it as a vampire story,” Pattinson responds, saying he tries to ignore the vampire element as much as he can.
10:15 a.m. Which of the novels resonates best for the cast as readers? Taylor’s favorite book is “Eclipse” — “The action levels continue to build in this series,” Lautner notes, also raving at the advancing love triangle. Stewart stands up for “New Moon,” explaining “I feel like after ‘New Moon’ it’s pretty smooth sailing for her.” And Pattinson also salutes “New Moon.” Kristen and Robert both remember the movie they’re here to promote!

Ashley Greene has pulled out of Twi-Con Dallas--But is replaced by smexy Alex Meraz!!!
Ashley Greene has pulled out of her appearance in Dallas. This decision wasn’t an easy one for her, but she was offered an incredible photo opportunity for a national fitness magazine during our con. Replacing Ashley at TwiCon will be fan favorite and upcoming New Moon cast member, ALEX MERAZ!what this will mean for all fans:1. Those who have purchased items for Ashley have first dibs on the same items for Alex. If you do NOT want Alex, you may choose from the remainder of photos/autographs that are left for the other attending cast. Please note: ALL TRANSACTIONS WILL BE HANDLED ON SITE. Because we have offered a replacement for Ashley, be it with Alex or another cast member, refunds will not be given on any items originally purchased for Ashley; they will simply be transferred to someone else.2. For those who want to purchase opportunities (photograph or autograph) with Alex, they will be made available on a first come, first served basis on site. Directions and time of sale will be announced at the welcoming ceremony on Thursday night. Another note: PLEASE DO NOT CALL TWICON OFFICES OR SEND EMAILS ASKING ABOUT THE TIME, DATE OR LOCATION OF THE SALE. All information will be provided on site. All you need to know is that the price for autographs and photographs is the same as the other cast members ($16 per autograph, $40 per photo). Those who got a free autograph for Ashley will naturally pay nothing to switch it to Alex or anyone else. We will also make available for sale any leftover autographs or photographs of the cast. The cast members who were sold out during sign ups are naturally, still sold out.3. Alex’s schedule will simply replace Ashley’s. There are a few very minor changes, which will be in the printed program you will receive upon check in at TwiCon registration. The most noticeable perk? Alex is DOUBLING his photos! That means he has 120 available for purchase, so be ready for our announcements on the sale information so you know where to go to purchase one!4. Alex has graciously offered to us a fantastic exclusive event with him. On Saturday morning from 9:00am-10:30am, there will be a plated breakfast Q&A 4. session with Alex himself. This event will ONLY hold 100 people and will cost $60 per person, including the seated meal. All tickets will be sold on site, first come, first served along with the other sales opportunities. Again, please don’t call TwiCon or email regarding details. We will let you know on site on Thursday night at the welcoming ceremony.While we are disappointed to see Ashley go, we are thrilled to be the first full convention in the country to host Alex Meraz. TwiCon is the first full convention to host ANY new up and coming actors from New Moon! Please make him feel welcome in the wonderful Twilight community! We hope that you are pleased with this bittersweet development; our goal is to make your experience as memorable as possible. As we near the opening night for TwiCon, we want to take the time to say thank you for the wonderful support we have received these past months from our fans, the media and the cast of Twilight. See you all soon! source
