Hey M Girls!

Since New Moon hits theaters 11/20/09, we're doing a daily countdown at 11:20 am with an awesome and juicy NM fact! So every day, you'll get a new movie secret!

Here's today's tidbit:

How did New Moon director Chris Weitz pick the name of the movie "Facepunch" for the NM scene where Bella goes to the movies with Jacob and Mike? He spilled at Comic Con: "In the book, I think it's 'Crossfire' -- or 'Crosshairs' or something like that, but those couldn't be cleared because it had already been used. So, I eventually turned in a list of 10 to Summit's lawyers and they had to see which ones they could go and clear. 'Facepunch' was actually one of two of the 10 they cleared. And I chose that over 'Kill Hunt.' It's the least romantic thing Bella can go to because her friend essentially asks her on a date and she wants nothing romantic to happen at all.



Let's dish:
-What movie title do you think would work better for that scene -- Facepunch or Kill Hunt?

Here's today's tidbit:

What was NM director Chris Weitz's fave scene to film? He shared at Comic-Con: "There were a lot of fun scenes to film frankly. I really did enjoy the sequence in the Volturi headquarters, although it's a tremendous logistical headache. In a way, it's the scenes that you dread the most because they are so time consuming and you have to get it just right which is like the stuff in the Volturi headquarters, that has to be my favorite sequence because it is kind of the high point of the movie... We had 1,000 extras in this medieval town square in this little town in Tuscany in the most beautiful country on earth and it's just an extraordinary opportunity to work there."

-Are you surprised that the Twilight series has gained so much popularity?

So what does the New Moon cast do during downtime on set? In between takes, the wolf pack members work out with barbells, do push-ups or chow down on steak, according to director Chris Weitz. "They went through wolf camp together, and they are in constant training," Chris spills. "It paid off as a bonding thing for them and helped them to get to know one another. They drove each other to get more buff."

Let's dish:
-Why does Jacob play the best werewolf?
