A-listers such as Cate Blanchett, Daniel Craig, Penelope Cruz, Scarlett Johansson, Jude Law, Madonna, Demi Moore, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Naomi Watts, bring smaller, specialized projects to the Cinema Society. Likewise, films that draw excess attention, such as "The Twilight Saga," may use the privacy of a smaller Cinema Society gathering to screen a film with a select group in a setting that doesn't require Biblical-scale crowd control.

Piaget sponsored "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" on Monday, June 28, with the thought of connecting to an affluent youth audience. "Please keep details of the evening completely confidential beforehand," mentioned the Luxist invite. The secret location: The boutique Crosby Street Hotel in SoHo, which boasts a well-appointed but discreet screening room at basement level.

On the red carpet, Kristen Stewart wore RM by Roland Mouret, a short dress with swirls of large paillettes and spiky, 4-inch Louboutins. Her hair was newly colored brunette for her role in "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac. It was tied back loosely with braids to achieve a "ready for the gala but fell asleep" look. On the carpet, a tiny Stewart lost the Louboutins to chat with press.

During the screening, Luxist was seated next to Abigail Breslin and her mother. Other notables included Sofia Vergara of Modern Family, Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20, fashionista Rachel Zoe, and supermodels Dree Hemingway and Maggie Rizer.



That said, Luxist gives high marks to the food at the Crosby Street Hotel afterfete: beef sliders, chicken curry, crab cakes, squash, and goat cheese risotto. "Eclipse" fete food: Two thumbs way up.

New Moon is Stephenie Meyer's second book in the Twilight series. According to Meyer, the book is about losing true love.An upcoming film adaptation is tentatively set for release on November 20, 2009.
New Moon director Chris Weitz has revealed that the movie is a super-emotional romantic roller-coaster, and Weitz wants his audience to be ready for the ride. "I would like to be able to produce more tears than any movie before, if possible," Weitz was quoted saying on Tuesday.

What's the tear-jerker? You got it: romance! "We've tried our best to deliver on the romantic scenes in the film," Weitz said. "If we could only weigh them with some kind of cubic tear measure!"

Or they could weigh them in box office sales. Many theaters already have begun selling advance tickets to New Moon so viewers can see exactly what will happen between Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson in this hotly-anticipated second film installment of the Twilight series. Weitz revealed that during filming, the public was obsessed with getting a sneak-peek at the New Moon stars. "I can remember trying to barricade some windows by turning tables over so that they couldn't look in at a cast dinner that they we were having," Weitz said. "When the cast went back to Vancouver there were cameras everywhere. Everyone knows where every set is going to be. It goes with the Internet and all the information is out there all the time, and whenever one of them is spotted it's immediately Twittered."
