By now, you Twilighters have all seen the footage in which Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) throws down for some fisticuffs with the Volturi vampires in "New Moon." What you haven't seen -- and what we have here for you right now -- is multiple angles of behind-the-scenes footage showing how the violence came together. Check it out:

I envy you Twilighters, I really do. As a lifelong "Star Wars" geek, I remember well the anticipation leading up to the release of the prequel trilogy. Sure, those later episodes didn't please me as a fan in the same way that the originals did and continue to do, but the mounting excitement, the event surrounding each release, it was a hoot. So I envy that you get to go through all of that excitement-- it makes for fun times.
Since I can also relate to the joy of seeing most of the movie in clips and stills before it even hits theaters, I'm here to bring you the latest photo gallery update. A whole new batch of "New Moon" stills for you to enjoy, roughly a dozen of them. Just click the image below to be magically transported to our newly updated flipbook gallery.
FROM MTV.COM: All week long, you've been exposing the innermost thoughts of the "New Moon" stars with questions submitted on the MTV Web site, getting their take on everything from scooters to "Twilight" plot points they'd like to see to what they find when they Google each other.

You might be a die-hard, but do you know which "Twilight" star once dropped out of acting for more than a year, just because of a dare?

FROM MTV.COM: Tim Burton digs supernatural stories: the goth-comic ghost tale of "Beetlejuice," the headless killer from the great beyond in "Sleepy Hollow," the undead love story of "Corpse Bride." In a way, Burton knows vampires too, resurrecting Bela Lugosi — the definitive cinematic Count Dracula — in the Oscar-winning biopic "Ed Wood."
All of this has made "New Moon" vampire Jamie Campbell Bower think that Burton should direct "Breaking Dawn," the expected film adaptation of the final book in Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" series.
Jamie Campbell Bower Wants Tim Burton To Direct 'Breaking Dawn'
This week, MTV.com has run a veritable cornucopia of interview snippets with members of the "New Moon" cast. We'll be talking to the stars -- Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner -- tomorrow (along with everyone else), so think of this week's round of questioning as a palette cleanser, something to whet your appetite in advance of the main course we'll be dishing out over the coming weeks leading to the November 20 release of "New Moon."
MTV reporter Larry Carroll probes cast members Billy Burke, Jamie Campbell Bower, Kellan Lutz, Edi Gathegi and Nikki Reed on a variety of topics, from the musical tastes to what they're spending their "Twilight" paychecks on. Hit the jump for highlights and links to the full articles. Read more...
I'm going to have to rely on you expert Twilighters to tell me what's new in this latest "New Moon" TV spot. Not much, as far as I can see. I can't recall seeing that shot of Bella (Kristen Stewart) reflected in the eye of the wolf -- a cool visual, by the way -- but everything around it seems familiar. So let us know please, in the comments section below or @MTVMoviesBlog on Twitter.
Also, you can hit the jump to check out a relatively new (a week old maybe?) featuring on the Volturi vampires. Remember to get your "New Moon" cast questions in before the end of today! Read more...
As I told you all earlier this week, MTV ace reporter and Twilighter-in-residence Larry Carroll will be speaking with the cast of "New Moon" (in theaters November 20) very, very soon. And while he has plenty of questions prepped and ready -- heck, there have been strategy meetings to that effect -- he also wants to give you fans a shot at having your own queries heard.
So... here's how it's going to roll. The interviews will consist of four solo sessions, with director Chris Weitz and stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner. There will also be three group interviews, with the members of the Cullen family, the Wolf Pack and the Volturi, respectively. That's seven interviews, four solo and three group. In the interests of keeping things fair (and manageable) please send along no more than one question per interview. We'll pare the list down (there's bound to be some overlap) and do our best to make your voices heard. To submit your questions, just e-mail us at tips@mtvmoviesblog.com before the end of the day today.
We are now in the home stretch to the release of "New Moon." In just 17 days -- a mere 408 hours from now, or 24,480 minutes (roughly) -- the second entry in Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" series hits theaters. What that means for you Twilighters, other than the expected mounting excitement, is lots and lots and lots (and lots) of pictures.
Cast and crew are traveling around the world to do press for the film. Hell... we'll be seeing them this week, as you learned last night when we solicited fan questions. For now, why don't you content yourself with this new batch of images. Just click the pic below to be whisked off to our newly updated image gallery.
Yup. You read that right. This week, MTV ace reporter and Twilighter-in-residence Larry Carroll will be speaking with the collected cast members of "New Moon." The interview structure is a bit confusing if you're not a fan, but these groupings should make perfect sense to most of you readers.
For starters, Larry will be speaking to stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner individually, as well as director Chris Weitz. He'll also be doing a series of group interviews, which you can probably guess at the breakdown of: the Cullens, the Wolf Pack and the Volturi. So that's seven interviews in total: the four individuals plus the three groups. Our time is limited, so please keep your submissions to one question apiece per interview. Just send them over to tips@mtvmoviesblog.com by Wednesday night. And get psyched from the November 20 release of "New Moon"!
If I'm Robert Pattinson, right now I'm thinking I need a nap. "New Moon" wrapped in May, followed quickly by the start of production on romantic drama "Remember Me," which finished up shortly before "Eclipse" began filming in August, eventually wrapping late last month. But there is no rest for the world's most popular vampire. The globe-crossing promotional effort for "New Moon" has only just begun.
That's why RPattz and director Chris Weitz touched down in Tokyo over the weekend, and fans lined up at the airport to get autographs, snap photos and, by the looks of paparazzi pics, make Pattinson smile. On a sports-related aside, note that Pattinson rocked a New York Yankees hat when he arrived in Japan. Endorsement of the team that now holds a commanding 3-1 lead in the World Series? Did the Brit actor become a convert to the Yanks while in the city this summer shooting "Remember Me"? Read more...
