Take your time staring at each other longingly, Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Bella (Kristen Stewart). You've got a whole movie to miss each other.

The Wolf Pack, minus Jacob, stands united with honor and without shirts. Actors Alex Meraz, Kiowa Gordon, Chaske Spencer, and Bronson Pelletier would have just lost them anyway when they changed into their CGI counterparts.

Chief Swan (Billy Burke) tends to Bella (Kristen Stewart) after Edward leaves. I guess this answers the question posed by the old song, ''What becomes of the brokenhearted?'' They get carried home by dad.

The actors in Jacob's pack (including Alex Meraz, Kiowa Gordon, and Chaske Spencer here) reportedly worked out everyday for 90 minutes during filming. A wolf's got to keep his figure, after all.

Bella is saved from drowning by caring, shirtless Jacob. While the shape-shifter's only real danger was wet fur, the act remains a chivalrous one.

Last month, USA Today had the first look at New Moon's Wolf Pack — Alex Meraz (Paul), Chaske Spencer (Sam), Bronson Pelletier (Jared), and Kiowa Gordon (Embry) — in costume. And by in costume, we really mean shirtless. ''It's not pleasant for the actors,'' director Chris Weitz acknowledged to the newspaper from the Vancouver, B.C. set. ''But they have all been good-natured. They show up on location in drenching, cold rain, and I say, 'OK, off with the robes.'''

''I'm telling Bella not to be fearful of death. It's inevitable and painless,'' says Edi Gathegi, who returns in New Moon as the somewhat mysterious vampire Laurent, in this EW exclusive photo. ''He was bad in Twilight, but still had some compassion. Let's just say he's not conflicted anymore.''

One of director Weitz's creative challenges is Edward's long absence in the novel: ''Rob was the first guy to say to me, 'You know, you don't really need to have too much of me in this film.' I don't want him too present, so his apparition will be a subtle, flitting effect — clearly a reflection of Bella's will and desire to see him.''

Happy birthday, Bella! In this EW exclusive photo, the movie's newly 18-year-old heroine has been thrown against a rose-covered table by her beloved, Edward. Readers will know his intentions were honorable: He was trying to protect Bella (and her paper cut!) from the vampire Jasper. ''The whole cast is reading the book and wanting to get it right,'' says Weitz (center, with Stewart, assistant director Mike Topoozian, and makeup artist Robin Mathews). ''They want to deliver on the promise these books make to the readers.''
