'Twilight' news wrap: 'Breaking Dawn' stars return to Baton Rouge!

Twilight news.


First of all, new still images of Robert Pattinson in Water For Elephants were revealed by People and Entertainment Weekly. One is attached, and it is of Pattinson and the movie's elephant, Tai (which portrays "Rosie").


"Rob was non-committal until he saw the elephant," recalls the film's animal coordinator Paul 'Sled' Reynolds. "After he met Tai, he knew he wanted to do this movie. He absolutely adored that elephant."


And speaking of new photos, apparently the editor of Italian Vogue was thinking of "RPatt fans" over the holidays and decided to post an outtake photo of him next to a sign that says, "Why not?" Check it out in the slideshow (along with other photos discussed below). In a last piece of Robert Pattinson news, Robert Pattinson was voted E! Online's 2010 Celeb of the Year by thousands of voters. Kristen Stewart came in at a very close second, but many, many other celebrities were out-voted to take that honor. Read all about that here.


On to more Twilight hunks. Both Jamie Campbell Bower ("Caius") and Cam Gigandet ("James") are in new still images (for Camelot and The Roommate, respectively) (attached). Cam Gigandet is also a newly appointed skin care product rep (deservedly so, did you see his Spain premiere look?) for ClickR Skin Care. There's also a great new interview with Cam Gigandet in the Calgary Herald, where he talked about how he came to be in Los Angeles, acting. "I think the main reason I chose L.A. was because it was in the same time zone that my parents were living in. It was just on a whim, right out of high school -- let's just go to L.A. So just doing that was quite an experience." Meanwhile, Kiowa Gordon ("Embry Call") is the cover boy for TROIX Magazine's January issue. A behind-the-scenes video from his shoot is attached, and you can check out his feature at TROIXMagazine.com.


Anna Kendrick also has a new interview worth mentioning - this time about the Scott Pilgrim DVD. In it, she talked about the similarities between her work in the Twilight series and the big action film Scott Pilgrim (which, incidentally, doesn't include Anna Kendrick action sequences).


In the Twilight films, my character is really not aware of the supernatural world. I don’t get to watch that being shot, so on this one it was fun to react to these fight scenes almost as though it’s not really happening. The fact that they’re flipping through the air and throwing fireballs isn’t that unnerving in the Scott Pilgrim world. After that you just kind of go back to what you were doing. So that was interesting. Shooting Twilight got me used to being in the background for three weeks and then saying my one line and then going back to the background again!

Moving on, at least two Twilight stars hit up Disney World over the holiday break - Peter Facinelli and Ashley Greene. Both were accompanied by their loved ones, and photos of them at Disney are attached in the slideshow.


Also, the Twilight cast has been tweeting about their return to the Breaking Dawn set in Baton Rouge!


From this morning:


Amadou Ly: Good Morning from Baton Rouge. Had a great flight.
Lisa Howard ("Siobhan"): Waiting at LaGuardia airport. So crowded! Looking forward to seeing my new vamp friends again:-)
Valorie Curry ("Charlotte"): Waiting in the most epic line in airport history. Everybody, cross your fingers that I make my flight!
From yesterday:


Cameron Bright ("Alec"): Heading back to Baton Rouge tomorrow.
As noted before, filming is expected to pick back up on the third. It seems that at least some of the Breaking Dawn cast stuck around because Guri Weinberg ("Stefan") spent New Years Eve tweeting Breaking Dawn-related items.


From New Years Eve (December 31st):


Happy 2011 to all! Have to get back to work, met Stephanie Myers 2x now, she told me I was the Stefan she had pictured. Awesome woman.


Noel [Fisher ("Vladimir")] and I have been singing on set with our Romanian dialects to make everyone laugh. I will try and post video clips soon.
