Apparitions and abs set Twilighters' hearts on fire at Comic-Con in San Diego, with the unveiling of two new scenes from the Twilight sequel, New Moon.

In the first clip, Bella (Kristen Stewart) takes her first ride on a motorcycle built for her by best bud Jacob (Taylor Lautner). As she mounts the bike, putting her usually clumsy self in danger, Edward's (Robert Pattinson) apparition appears warning her to be cautious.

Craving to see her vampire love, who fled Forks so she could have a normal life, Bella speeds up only to crash and injure herself. Jacob then runs to her aid, taking off his T-shirt (revealing his ripped abs in the process!) for her to wipe the blood from her forehead.

"You're sorta beautiful," Bella says, igniting her passion for her once-platonic pal.

The second clip, which can be viewed on YouTube, shows Bella frantically in pursuit of Edward (also shirtless!) in Italy in an effort to prevent him from stepping out into the sunlight and revealing his true, sparkling self.

Kristen Stewart talks Edward hallucinations in 'New Moon,' says Bella is the 'hero' of the story

At Comic-Con, MTV caught up with The Twilight Saga: New Moon stars Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner to discuss many aspects of the up-coming film, and this interview was particularly interesting of the lot.

In the video, Stewart talks about the fact that Robert Pattinson will be appearing in the film as flittering images instead of just a sound hallucination. Her opinion, it seems, is that there would be a bit of a distortion between the real Edward and the hallucinated voice Edward in Bella's head, so it was easier to do apparitions instead of audio only. She also makes note of the fact that there needed to be more of Pattinson in the film "for whatever reason," and that Edward is, to Bella, a source of reason.

Stewart also stated that she really enjoyed New Moon because Bella gets to be the hero of the story instead of it always being Edward saving the day.

So, what do you think about that? Is Bella the real hero in New Moon?

There are actually quite a few heroes, it seems, in the story if you think about it. Most obviously, Jacob is a sort of savior as he pulls Bella from the trenches of wallow. Also, Emily is a bit of a hero for the wolfpack (as are Sam and Billy Black). As far as the storyline goes, too, Alice is a bit of a hero as well.

Of course, Stewart may be correct to state that Bella is a hero in certain scenes - particularly those in the ending, Italian sequences. Comment below with your thoughts!

'Eclipse' Casting Call: Tom Felton Could Play Riley In The Third 'Twilight' Movie

Posted July 14th, 2009 by Terri Schwartz in Hot Stuff, Movie News, Twilight Forever!



Tom FeltonMaybe its his boyish good looks, his charming smile or his perfectly mastered snarl, but there's something about Tom Felton that makes us want more. The "Harry Potter" star is sure to wow audiences with his tortured portrayal of Draco Malfoy in tomorrow's (!) "Half-Blood Prince" and maybe even earn some Oscar buzz now that the Academy Awards have opened themselves up to 10 nominees.

But, there is a different sort of buzz going on from a fan circuit often found opposing "Harry Potter": "Twilight" fans are clamoring for Tom to play Victoria's lackey Riley in 2010's "Eclipse."

Tom isn't the first guy "Twilight" fans have latched onto for the role. First Melissa Rosenberg, screenplay scribe for "The Twilight Saga," threw a curveball when she told E! News she pictured Channing Tatum as Riley in the epic battle at the end of "Eclipse." Then, Evil Iguana Productions fans rampaged the comments section of the article begging for Craig Deering to be cast as the role of Riley. Tom is one in a long line of fan-favorites to play the role, but he is quickly becoming the most popular.

"Ill be ready when they want me! Really, I'm only joking. Im not really sure at this point; but you will be the first to know if I find out anything!" Tom told his fansite, Feltbeats.com. He reiterated the sentiment on his Twitter, saying, "i keep getting asked if im being cast as Riley in Twilight! Ill let you all know if so!!!"

If Tom does make the cut, he will join Robert Pattinson as the second actor to make the jump between series, though newcomer Jamie Campbell Bower is also going to be joining the fray as Caius in "New Moon" and Gellert Grindelwald in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" Part 1 and 2.
