A Twitter user/Twilight fan found a New Moon promotional card in her copy of Bandslam, which lists a March 22nd release date for the release of the DVD. Please note this was found in the United Kingdom.
If you remember, the Twilight DVD was released in the US and UK on March 21st, 2009. Since Twilight and New Moon were released near the same timeframe in the theaters, it would not surprise us that the DVD release would be scheduled the same way.

Stephenie urges, buy this book!
Author of the Twilight Saga, Stephenie Meyer, updated her website today. In the past she has suggested authors and books alike to us readers to help broaden our horizons. Today is no exception.
I hope you all are enjoying your holidays! Just a quick update about a book—arriving in bookstores tomorrow!—that I'm very excited about: The Lonely Hearts Club by Elizabeth Eulberg. If you've ever been out to one of my signings, chances are you've already met this debut author. If you haven't, but you've read the acknowledgements in any of my books, you've been introduced to her there. Elizabeth has been the publicist for my books from the very beginning, and has (clearly) done an amazing job. She's also worked with scads of other YA authors. Now her own YA novel is coming out and I'm so proud of her. Well done, Lizzy! I look forward to reading more from you soon!

“Eclipse is going to be more real” according to Charlie Bewley
OK! Magazine UK has a new interview with the actor Charlie Bewley who plays Demetri in New Moon and Eclipse, and he speaks about the differences between the two films:
“David is a master of mood. Eclipse has this different mood about it, it’s dark and vicious. You get to see the brutal nature of vampires and what they are really capable of, which is something we haven’t really seen in the first two movies.”
And the star told us David works very differently to New Moon director Chris Weitz.
He said: “They are very different directors. David understands what each scene needs [to create the dark mood] – absolute fine tuning. He might stop the scene halfway through and just tweak something before saying: ‘Go back, say that word again and I want you to put the emphasis on that’.
“It’s very controlled and when I was on set I found myself not being able to be as theatrically elaborate as I was with Chris’ film. But that’s exactly why David has been brought on board – to make this a more real film. Eclipse is going to be more real.”

When will the first Eclipse trailer be released?
The director of Eclipse updated his Twitter earlier today with word that he does not know when the first trailer will be released.
Overwhelming question I see again and again – When is the first trailer for Eclipse? I really don’t know I am afraid. I know they are working very hard on it. But I don’t have any idea when it will be out.
We look forward to seeing it when they do complete it!

Kelly Clarkson's song for New Moon
Earlier this year, there had been rumor that Kelly Clarkson (an admitted huge fan of the Twilight Saga) had submitted a song for the New Moon Soundtrack. The songs title is "Empty As I Am".
Here is the song she wrote.
Warning: This recording is not professional but personally I thought the song was very good. Enjoy.

Bryce Dallas Howard ready to ‘unveil her take’ on Victoria
In a recent interview with MTV, Bryce Dallas Howard discussed her experience shooting Eclipse and her portrayal of Victoria.
MTV: Would you say you studied Rachelle’s performance, to factor it into your own?
Howard: Well, I have seen “Twilight” innumerable times, innumerable. And yes, of course, I saw “New Moon” before doing “Eclipse,” because the continuity of the character is critical, and Rachelle had done a really exquisite job creating Victoria. It was really important to base all of my work on that. She set a very high bar, and I wanted to reach for that.

Godfrey confirms two-part Breaking Dawn production in late 2010
Variety has published a new article revealing two interesting pieces of information concerning Taylor Lautner, Breaking Dawn, and Summit.
Summit has acquired an untitled script by Eric Champnella and Grant Thompson that is best described as a teenaged “Taken” meets “Die Hard.”
Dan Lautner will produce with Temple Hill partners Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen.
Dan Lautner is the actor’s father, and the action project becomes the first project in Tailor Made Entertainment, a company they’ve formed to develop film and TV vehicles.
After an injury sidelines a teen’s plans to be an elite soldier, he tries to get on with his life by heading to college. There he meets a girl who convinces him to join her friends on a spring-break trip to Cancun. When his traveling partners are kidnapped and ransomed for the freedom of a drug-cartel leader about to be extradited, the college student uses his warrior skills to rescue them.
At the end of the article, Twilight saga producer Wyck Godfrey confirms that Breaking Dawn will begin shooting in late 2010:
Godfrey said the hope is to get the Cancun-set project into production by June. Lautner will reprise his role of Jacob in “Breaking Dawn” beginning in late 2010, and it is likely that the final book will be divided into two films that will shoot back-to-back.
Finally we’ve got a solid confirmation!
