Gritty and Gorgeous is how this Seattle Times article describes filming is Portland, Oregon. Read the article then look at the scenic shots from filming in Portland, including three pictures from the Twilight set. (Numbers 1, 9, 10, &11)
Welcomes the Hosts to its Summer Must Read list.
Peter Facinelli updates his Myspace blog with screen caps from his upcoming film. (Not Twilight)
We know everyone is excited and desperate for the movie Twilight to premier in a timely manner in their respective countries. I have personally spoken with Summit Entertainment’s international department and they know that you want the film’s international release to happen sooner rather then later. At this moment in time every date you read is tentative. The international release date for Twilight the movie is early January. A simultaneous December 12th release has not been ruled out yet. It is still too early to have firm dates set. Bearing all that in mind, the Twilight Lexicon has no control over when and where the film will be released. We understand your excitement and anticipation, but there is little to nothing we can do about moving up the time frame when an official date is finally set. We ask your patience and understanding as we ask you not to continue to fill our email box with cries of outrage over rumored release dates. We love hearing from you, we just can’t do anything about when and where the movie will premier. EDITED: Also please note that Internet petitions are not going to change this situation in the slightest. In fact Internet petitions are routinely thrown out by any organization, because it is so easy to fake multiple signatures.

And last but certainly not least…who would have ever guessed just over 2 years ago, that a website that started with just an idea would turn into the site it is today! This Memorial Day weekend our messageboard membership reached a record 20,000 registered members. We are so happy to have you all here with us daily sharing in our mutual love of the Twilight Series. Thank you all, and here’s to 20,000 more!





Awesome #1!!!!!!!
That’s my second time being nuber one!!!!!! WHOOO HOOO!!!!!!!!!
Ok now I’ve got to read the article…
Congrats Lexicon 4 making it to ur 20,000th membership!
20,000 members? That’s amazing! Congrats, Lexicon staff!
Twilight Lexicon, we do love you. I’ve seriously been thinking about joining, and I swear I will after all this Exam business gets over with. If I sign up now, I’ll never get off and therefore will fail like everything. Ha. We don’t want that to happen.
But really, you guys are amazing. I don’t know how I would survive waiting for Aug2/Dec12 without your constant updating of news and such. Angels you are. All of you.
The pics are soo pretty!!! So much green…I love it!!
And congrats on having 20,000 members in memberboards thingamajigy!!
Oh, crap. I have been here since december, and I never signed up!!! I guess I’ll go do it now!!
ummmmmm….i cant view the pics for some reason.
Layla: I probably allready would have joined, but u can’t. If u go to jon the staff it will say that they don’t need anyone right now. Unless of course it’s changed.
Congrats Stephenie and Lexicon for letting us know that you have over 20,000 FANS! :]
I know, I cant wait till the movie. This last week, I went to the midnight premiere of Indiana Jones and I saw the Twilight teaser trailer. I freaked out! I starded screaming during the begining “Summit Entertainment” opening….And the whole theatre laughed at me. It was out of my control though.
Congrats Lexicon! I really appreciate all the hard work you put into this website. i would seriously go crazy with anticipation if i had never gone onto this site with all the updates on the book and movie. Thanks Lexicon!! You Rock!!
It sucks about the movie possibly being released so late internationally and I may have somewhat of a solution. tvshack.net is a website that features movies the same day that they are released in the states. If you don’t mind watching something on the computer or dealing with subtitles, then at least you could see the movie when it comes out in the states. All of the movies are in english, but are subtitled in some other language and they are streamed from the site, so there is no downloading.
Just thought I would voice a possible solution because I know how unfair it is for those overseas who have to wait longer than those of us who live in the states.
Happy 20k, Lex!!
20,000 members! Wow! Way to go!
Congratulations on 20,000!
VampGirl: I think Layla was talking about signing up on the forums/message boards, and that’s open for everyone to do.
Congratulations! The Lexicon is like… the royalty of the twi-sites. And you sure deserve it. Thank you so much for keeping us informed and for being spoiler an rumor free. I really appreciate that. This is one site I know I can trust.
On other subject, yeah the different release date is not quite pleasent for all of us international fans. I mean, I wouldn’t mind to wait one more month if EVERYONE was going to wait. But I have to admit the worst thing is the jealousy(sp?). Just knowing so many people have already seen it and are actually able to discuss every single detail while I’ll still be ignorant and possibly insane for trying to resist looking for spoilers. But I do respect it and understand they can’t do everything we want.
Oh well. I would just go insane one way or another, anyway…
By the way, forgot to add: still crossing fingers for a different date (earlier, for the love of God!). Nothing’s official yet, so I’m still hoping…
I am sooooo glad I live near Seattle. Seattle Times, for me!
WAY TO GO LEXICON ON THE 20,000 thing!!!
Yeah, I did mean on the message boards thing. Just to clear that up….
That tenth picture is *gorgeous* by the way. Sooo beautiful.
carla-
we might get an earlier date with them finishing filming so soon!
oh, and congrats on 20,000 members!!!
20,000+…whow…I am honored to be one!!!
I think #11 is about Twilight, too.
And congradulations on the twenty thousand!
No, I don’t want an earlier date! The date it’s set to release right now, Dec 12, is THREE DAYS before my birthday! And four days before one of my friend’s, and five before anthor’s and six before another’s birthday. And YES we all love Twilight.
But I don’t want the date to change.
I LOVE YOU LEXICON!!!
haha didnt realize there were twilight pictures, i was all well that was nice to see river phoenix.
Breaking Dawn is also listed as a summer read on the Baltimoresun.com website..
Thought I would let you know.
*sigh*
Early January… I guess I’ll have to live with it.
Congrats Lex!!!!! That’s soooo cool. I’m thinking about joining to so you will probably have about 1,000 more members then you did today because you said something. YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!! And I found a flaw in that interview the Sun did. We don’t really know yet how many pages Breaking Dawn has yet because they’re still editing it. They said it has 498 pages but that’s how many Twilight has and Stephenie said when she was writing it that she was up to 800 pages when she got done.
ummm i live in Moorpark CA and i went to go see prince caspian and the twilight preview showed…was that supposed to happen cause the date said 12/12/08…i’m confused!
hello could i post the movie release day part in blog? since there are movie date complications in our country and i would like to clear that up. thank you
Sure. ~Cocoa
congrats lexicon!!!
We all love ya!!!
hqhahahahahaha.
I feel srry for all u international fans…
I would’ve died if I had to wait for the movie to come out next YEAR. (or so)
heck I’m already screaming my head off that I have to wait for what 8 months???
I really do feel srry.
jovie907-
the movie is released in the US on 12/12/08
the release date for countries outside the US are a little later.
I think that’s wat u asked.
I have a question for the Lexicon!!
Because this is a site with no spoilers and the movie will probably be released in other countries a month later or so, will we be able to talk about the movie as soon as it comes out here in the US or are we going to have to wait until it is released internationally to be able to discuss it?? or is it to early to ask this question?
Sry if this has already been asked..
Congats btw on 20,000
Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!We have a new interview with Stephenie
hello twilight lexicon thank you for all news realting to twilight
DDDD
anyways if you have any communications to the twilight people of summit…..
in my opinion they SHOULN’T RUSH THE PRODUCTION OF TWILIGHT I’D RATHER WAIT THE REST OF THE YEAR AND HAVE IT NICE AND COMPLETED , THAN HAVE IT RUSHED AND GET BAD REVIEWS….they have to remember how big twilight is… people can wait… its dangerous to have this movie out earlier and be a let down to all twilighters of the world… just saying… lol im not sure if my voice would be heard its just were all so excited i don’t want twilight to be a disappointment … not that im judging im saying this in spite of people of twilight who is deeply sunk into it
sorry im werid… i hope it doesn’t sound like im forcing or something….
DD
and wouldn’t it be werid to watch it in summer and like once your out the theaters its hot and sunny, and like in forks its nice and cold… it would set the mood if it were in mid december
congradulations twilight lexicon thank you so much thank you thank you
love very ver vyer vyer much jane y.
way to go for dumping my spirit… i just signed a petition regarding the release date of Twilight in philippines…
fan-pire-
thanx 4 getting that all cleared up!!!
About the release dates ^^
Yeah, I’m one of the people who emailed. I understand that the Lex can’t do anything about the release date, we were never asking for that one. At least, not me. What we were kinda getting at was maybe a link to the petition, but that’s okay.
If they show it in January, then that’s when I’ll watch it.
It’s just a nice feeling to be able to work together with a lot of people and be a part of something big that involves something you love, I guess haha
News about twilight always make me happy!!!!!! : P
