We have a couple of items to share with you tonight. First up is an excellent article from a UK site called Times Online. Once again Stephenie is compared to J.K Rowling, but the report hones in on the differences and how Stephenie has her own niche.
“Everyone is looking for the next J.K. Rowling. It’s not going to happen. That’s just something that is never going to happen again. She was, is, something that will not be repeated.”
Also, there is a quote about the film which will answer the pressing question as to what the rating of the film will be.
“I put in a clause in the contract that the movie had to be PG-13 so I could go see it,” says Meyer.
Also, there was another Deseret News article about Stephenie and The Host that we need to share with you. You can read it on line here.
Since so many people are asking, there are currently 2,563,394 views on the Twilight Trailer at 10 pm EST which is not enough to beat out Indiana Jones. Still an excellent effort on the part of a film "no one has heard of" according to some sources!
Lastly, in response to questions in our inbox, yes we know about the book New Dawn. It is an unauthorized book of essays on the Twilight phenomenon that was put together by Borders. It features commentary from upcoming writers who mostly are attached to Simon and Schuster. It is not a preview of Breaking Dawn. It is only available from Borders.
ITS ROBERT’S BDAY ALREADY!
That was a fantastic article! I was curious as to what Pancho was doing with himself these days. I wonder if there was ever some strife/competition when his wife started making money from the books. It’s great that they can both stay home with the kids.
i could care less if it were rated R, my parents would still let me see it!!! they know that if they didn’t, then i would go into depression until they did, so they’re not messing with it!!
but i am glad that stephenie said that!!
The times online article was very well written in my opinion. It seemed to me like finally someone did their homework before publishing an opinion on SM and her work.
Good Job Times online
I bought the Times newspaper today and its a huge Two page spread article complete with pictures entitled “harry who?” heheh
:D
I LOVE that the Twilight series is getting more publicity over here, especially in one the UK top newspapers wahoo go Stephenie!
But there will never be another Harry Potter, so they are right. Jk will always be the best(sorry).
I’m so happy Stephenie Meyer writes “clean” novels!
I’m like one of those teens she talked about. I don’t drink and I’ve never been involved in a deep relationship before, and I find it difficult to relate to some teenage characters who think drugs and sex are the coolest thing ever. In the YA book category, there few books who do not have sex or drinking in them. I believe that books give us the same distorted perception of the world, just as the media does. It’s not every teenager who wants to drink all night long…
Go Stephenie!
UUGHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am sooooooooooo SICK of Stephanie being compared to J.K. Rowling OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!!!!!!! It’s so stupid!!! They are two different writers!!!!!!! WHO CARES WHO WAS MORE SUCESSFUL? WHO CARES WHICH IS EXPECTED TO BEAT THE OTHER OUT? WE CAN LIKE WHO WE WANT AND IT IS NOT AN INSULT TO HAVE DIFFERENT OPINIONS!!!!!!! THEY JUST NEED TO GET OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
