In the new issue theres a gorgeous new photo shoot as well as an interview where Dakota discusses everything from her role as Jane to her close friendship with costar Kristen Stewart and much more. Certainly Dakotas role in the Twilight sequel didnt seem to present too much of an acting challenge. As Jane a pintsize Volturi vampire who possesses the power to cause pain without even touching her victims she kind of just looked at people. Asked how she prepared Dakota laughs.

She isn't the first member of the film's cast to appear on the cover of the magazine, after Taylor Lautner's turn a few months ago.

She found time recently to sit down and open up about growing up in Hollywood and joining the Twilight gang. Kristen Stewart even weighed in about working with Dakota. Here's more: On prepping for her role in New Moon: "I wasn’t in my mirror like Zoolander, doing Blue Steel! The red contacts were enough. I read all four Twilight books in one week.

Wilson Brothers Set for Reporter Comedy ‘Electric Avenue’

24 September 2009 10:11 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

The Wilson brothers, Luke and Andrew are set to co-direct a 48 Hours-type buddy comedy about two reporters called Electric Avenue. But wait: We all know Luke and Owen Wilson - who’s this Andrew character?

While Andrew could be considered the least famous Wilson brother (sans the infamous Gummo and Zeppo Wilson), he’s been consistently acting for over twenty years and has had roles in such films as Rushmore (Coach Beck), Zoolander (Hansel’s Corner Guy),  Idiocracy (Beef Supreme) and now plays Razor in the upcoming Drew Barrymore directed, Whip It.

This won’t be the Wilson Brothers first foray into directing. Their first co-directing venture came with the 2005 film, The Wendell Baker Story, which Luke Wilson wrote. If your interests have yet to be piqued, maybe this casting teaser will help.

Hit the jump for more on this Wilson-driven project.

"I'm gonna direct again. Luke and I are going to do something... called 'Electric Avenue' starting in January or February," Andrew said. "It's going to be [starring] Luke and," he pauses... "somebody else who I'm not at liberty to »

Ferrell, Pitt, Jonah Hill in 'Oobermind,' Downey Out

16 August 2009 10:47 PM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »

And filling in for Robert Downey, Jr.: Will Ferrell.

The upcoming Dreamworks Animation supervillain 'toon, Oobermind, has three new voices, according to Variety. Ferrell replaces the freshly departed Downey as an evil madman who no longer finds life worth living after his archnemesis is accidentally killed. If Ferrell brings Mugatu to the table (his Zoolander) character, then this could be fine. Hard to see Ferrell underselling it, though.

Tina Fey remains in the cast, playing...Vicki Vale, for lack of a better term. The other two new additions are Brad Pitt as Metro Man, the sworn enemy of Oobermind. And since we already know what happens to him, we need another hero of some kind, which is where Jonah Hill comes into the picture. He's been cast as Titan, a superhero who longs to be a supervillain like Oobermind. »

Stiller Goes Wild

11 August 2009 5:16 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Funnyman Ben Stiller is following in the footsteps of his pal Will Ferrell - he's signed up to appear alongside British adventurer Bear Grylls in an upcoming episode of his Man Vs. Wild series.

Ferrell spent 48 hours in the frozen Swedish wilderness learning how to stay alive against the odds with the former military survival expert, and even drank his own urine - a regular survival tip from Grylls on his hit show.

And Ferrell's experiences convinced the Zoolander star to sign up for a similar challenge - he's set to feature in an upcoming episode later this year. »

John Hamburg Brings the Love to I Love You, Man

10 August 2009 3:30 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

The writer-director of this hilarious comedy talks about his hilarious cast, the wonderful DVD features, and more

Writer-director John Hamburg's career saw him go from cult-hit writer-director with Safe Men to writing the blockbuster comedy Meet the Parents and writing another cult comedy hit in Zoolander. Hamburg finds himself in the director's chair once again with his latest film, I Love You, Man, which comes to DVD and Blu-ray on August 11. I recently spoke on the phone with Hamburg about his new film and here's what he had to say.

I loved the film in the theaters and I checked out the special features and you have quite a DVD on your hands here.

John Hamburg: Oh, thanks man. This is the first movie that I directed where my editing crew and I did a lot of the special features on the DVD ourselves. It was really fun to get into that. »

Free Flick Fridays: Safe Men

24 July 2009 1:00 AM, PDT | TribecaFilm.com | See recent Tribeca Film news »

Safe Men Dir. John Hamburg (1998) Can't get enough Sam Rockwell lately? Well, neither can we. Long before he landed on the Moon (Tff '09) with Duncan Jones and Kevin Spacey, Rockwell and walking-comic-relief Steve Zahn were Safe Men. Today's pick was directed by John Hamburg (who had a hit this year with I Love You, Man and also has written flicks like Zoolander and Meet the Parents), and follows two wannabe-singers (Rockwell and Zahn) in Providence, Rhode Island. When the pair is mistaken for a team of master safecrackers, local hoodlums persuade the two into their service. Trouble and hilarity ensue. And to complicate things further is the boss-man's daughter (Christina Kirk), who refuses to date gangsters. Safe Men is classic mistaken identity with a stellar supporting cast: Mark Ruffalo, Harvey Fierstein, Paul Giamatti, and Michael Lerner all make appearances. Be sure to read our Moon interview with director Duncan Jones. »

'So You Think You Can Dance' Recap: Top 8 Performance

23 July 2009 12:29 AM, PDT | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »

On Wednesday, July 22, "So You Think You Can Dance" was visited by a special guest judge who knows little of the dancing techniques but adds a fresh perspective in the art of performing. Ellen DeGeneres, who has been raving about her appearance on the dance show through her Twitter, sat on the judging panel to give comments on the performances of the Top 8.

After reaching the Top 10 stage, the remaining contestants are paired at random. But they got the chance to also dance in the large group and display their solo piece after the pair dancing. The show opener on Wednesday saw former contestant Travis Wall choreographing the group dance which Nigel Lythgoe described as "Very Lady GaGa".

The first couple of the night was Evan Kasprzak and Janette Manrara who danced Jazz. The judges wanted more from Evan, reasoning that he was not rough and 'oomph' enough to balance his partner. »

Genre Icons, Oscar Heroes And Comedic Geniuses In This Week’s Birthday Bash

13 July 2009 8:00 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Just as everyone has an opinion, a favorite meal and a nose — albeit a fake one at times — so too does everyone have a birthday. Even celebrities. Here at Birthday Bash, it’s my mission to salute the fine actors, filmmakers and other Hollywood heroes that are celebrating their special day this week. After all, it’s cheaper than mailing a cake.

July is populated with some of the highest profile celebrity birthdays yet to be featured on Birthday Bash, with this week bringing a trio of faces famous for very different roles.

Harrison Ford (July 13): While it’s a given that everyone gets older as the years progress, it’s still incredibly difficult to believe that Harrison Ford turns 67 today. The actor is a genre legend, hanging with furry co-pilot Chewbacca as Han Solo in “Star Wars” and making whips cool again in the “Indiana Jones” franchise. Despite »

Michael Jackson And 10 Classic Movie Moments That Would Not Exist Without Him

1 July 2009 10:00 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Last week’s sad death of Michael Jackson has all of us in the MTV newsroom working overtime these days, for obvious reasons. We already ran a story on Mj’s direct influence in movies and TV including “The Wiz” and “The Simpsons.” What’s even more impressive is the movies he inspired without even appearing in them.

Below are ten classic film moments that would not exist if Michael Jackson never moonwalked across our planet and into out hearts. What’s your favorite?

“Back to the Future” trilogy

In “Back to the Future Part II,” we got a peek at the theme restaurants of 2015 via an order-taking television with a “waiter” hybrid of Mj and Max Headroom. In the trilogy’s final entry, set in the Old West, Marty McFly avoids getting shot by moonwalking away from some evil cowboys.

“Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”
