'New Moon' Has Fans Jumping From Team Edward To Team Jacob

With even Kirsten Stewart questioning Bella's alliance to Edward and with Taylor Lautner looking particularly beefy these days, it's no wonder die-hard Team Edward members are questioning their allegiance to the brooding vampire.

Some fans are switching teams altogether — so does that mean no one is on Team Edward anymore?

"I'm still Team Edward," Stephanie told MTV News early Friday after catching a midnight screening of "New Moon" in New York. "Die-hard."

The majority of Twi-Hards agreed that no matter how hot Lautner gets, Edward will always have their hearts. But, obviously, Jacob has his supporters too, many of whom were always behind the werewolf, along with some newcomers.

"I was definitely Team Edward, and I'm kind of leaning toward Jacob now," Alyssa said. Another fan added: "Team Jacob. I like the underdog."

At a Thursday "New Moon" screening in New York, Stewart elaborated on Bella's relationship with Edward in the forthcoming films. "I've always backed her up in her devotion to Edward," she said. "And to see that falter will be interesting. ... I'm looking forward to seeing the love triangle actually becoming a problem. We sort of innocently touch on it in 'New Moon,' but it actually becomes something that is very, very real."

Favorite Actor: Denzel Washington, Matt Damon, and Brad Pitt.

Did you read New Moon before or after you were cast? After. I only read the first book when I was cast in Twilight because I knew my character was different in the first than it was in the second. As soon as I was done filming Twilight, I started reading the rest of the series."

Moment you realized you wanted to be an actor? My karate teacher was in the business—he was actually the blue Power Ranger for two years. He told me to give it a shot. At first, I was like, no that's not for me...but finally—when I was ten or eleven—I went on auditions and eventually was like, oh, I kind of like this.

Death Cab For Cutie Talk Edward Vs. Jacob On 'New Moon' Video Set

By their own admission, only one-fourth of Death Cab for Cutie have actually read anything from the "Twilight" series (guitarist Chris Walla, we're looking at you), but that hasn't stopped them from penning the first single from the upcoming "New Moon" soundtrack, "Meet Me on the Equinox."

And that hasn't stopped them from weighing in on one of the series' central conflicts — the whole Team Edward vs. Team Jacob thing — when we visited the set of the "Equinox" video in Toronto on Wednesday.

"OK, so again, having only finished the second book, I feel like I'm sort of out on a limb a little bit, because I haven't started the third book," Walla told MTV News. "So I'm really excited to see the film and sort of see if I feel like I'm still out on a limb. Like, I love Jacob. He's great. In the middle of the book, he's the one who's taking care of Bella, and, like, where's Edward? What is he doing? What an a--hole! But he comes through in the end, and, you know, we'll see what happens."

So there you go: Chris Walla thinks Edward Cullen is an a--hole. And that wasn't the only revelation Walla had for us on the "Equinox" set. Apparently, there currently exists a five-hour version of the "New Moon" film — and, no, he hasn't seen it either.

"We were invited to see a cut that was five hours long. It didn't have any effects or Foley or music or anything in it. And we couldn't make the schedule work, because it was five hours long," Walla laughed. "We haven't seen anything more than anyone else has seen. We've seen the trailer, and that's really about it. ... I think the trailer looks great. There was the one scene where Jacob explodes into the werewolf, and it's like, 'How are they gonna pull that off? What are they gonna do?' And it looks great. So I feel like the whole thing is really going to work."

And while we'll have more information about the "Equinox" song — which premieres September 13 on MTV.com — and video in the coming days (trust us, it looks great), there's still one more bit of information we'd like to leave you with: Walla wants you to know that he's planning to finish the "Twilight" series very shortly. So if you run into him on the street, don't reveal how the whole Jacob/Edward thing plays out, OK?

"I'm a big fan of everything I've read so far. I've read both the first books, and it's kind of perfect for me, because I stopped after 'New Moon,' and I'm waiting to pick up on the next book," he said. "As this thing kinda gets going, I think I'm actually gonna dive into the third book. I really can't wait to see how it all ends up."
