Reelz Channel 360 Footage Online

Here’s TwiCon Via ReelzChannel 360.

New Moon
Twicon

If you’re at TwiCon  give a shout out and tell us in the comments what the best part is so far. From Twitter it sounds like Sam Bradley is a big hit and that people are looking forward to a 100 Monkeys Concert tonight. Mitch Hanson and The Bella Cullen Project also played today. Plus there was a podcast by Twilight Series Theories and a webmasters panel that included Kaleb Nation.

Peter Facinelli Phone Call From Jennie Garth

Creation Entertainment Finally uploaded a great quality video with clear sound so you can finally see the how the phone call in the middle of his Q&A in the middle of his Atlanta Twi-Tour went down.

You can find more info on Twi-Tour events here. The Lexicon staff is going to be at the ones in New Jersey and Phoenix.

EW’s Vampire Cover

EW has a vampire theme going this week and Twilight has made the cover. According to EW:

“This week’s Entertainment Weekly delivers the ultimate guide to vampires. You’ll find interviews with the authors behind Twilight and True Blood, our list of the 20 greatest bloodsuckers ever, and Anne Rice’s pick for the best new vampire — as well as a talk with her about how she revolutionized the vampire legend decades ago with Interview with a Vampire.”

The article covers the current vampire craze and covers long-running favorites like Anne Rice and relative-newbies like True Blood. Other than Twilight, do you follow any vampire series, and if so which ones?

Twi-Con Media Coverage

We will continue to edit this post and put in footage as it becomes available.

 

Taylor Swift Meet Taylor Lautner

Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner were spotted filming on the set of Valentine’s Day.

According to Just Jared,  Taylor showed off his athletic prowess by jumping hurdles.

There’s a bit of speculation on which part he is playing since his name doesn’t currently appear on the IMDB cast roster.  Speculation includes the love interests of both Emma Roberts and Anne Hathaway who are currently attached to the film.

EDITED: Since this story was first posted, it has becomes obvious via other set pictures that he plays Taylor Swift’s love interest. Wonder if she’s done her Twilight impersonation for him? 🙂

TwiCon Day 1

We’ve been following some of the various Tweets and posts around the Internet on TwiCon:

Blogger Maggie, who is the person who obtained the informal programming panels just filed her report on Day 1.

“Well, day one is in full swing at TwiCon 2009. There were a bunch of glitches planning, lots of little hurdles to overcome as we worked through the details, and tempers and patiences were getting tight… but honestly, now that the fans are all here, it’s been pretty rockin’. It’s hard not to get excited about what you’ve done when 2,500 people are all smiles, wearing home-made Twilight shirts, and are screaming at anything Twilight related…. and there’s a whole lotta Twilight related things around here at the morning, so there’s a lotta screaming!”

You can get her whole report on her blog.

So far, according to Maggie and from what we’ve picked up on various Twitters, high points seem to be Evil Iguana’s spoof, The Hillywood players, and the soloist musicians Sage Dill, Marcus Foster, Bobby Long, and Sam Bradley. Downside seems to be some long lines and that dues to illness Mike Welch had to back out.

Stand by for Day 2. We understand there was a lot of media present and they’ll probably start filing their reports today.

Rachelle LeFevere Update 7/31

Just keeping everyone updated here, and that’s to say in the last 24 hours there has been no further comment from either Rachelle or Summit. Conspiracy theories abound on all angles.  Hard to know which have merit and which don’t.

As far as we can tell, Marc Malken on E! has a pretty good statement here as to where this is in all probability going:

“Rachelle Lefevre and Summit Entertainment’s fangs are retracting a little bit today—at least in public, that is.

I’m told the actress formerly known as Twilight’s Victoria isn’t planning on releasing any more statements like the one she sent me yesterday. Same for Summit—the corporate lips are sealed.

Why? Because now the bloody mess is apparently being hashed out by lawyers.”

In as much as neither side has issued anything in the last 24 hours, this thing, as we said in our position statement, is all going to boil down to what was in a contract and subsequent verbal/written agreements. In other words, bring in the lawyers. Now that doesn’t mean a court date, we are surmising phone calls, meetings, etc. which will probably result in some settlement with a nondisclosure clause. That tends to be how disputes like this go down.

Could it go to some sort of public trial if they don’t reach an agreement? Technically yes, but we would doubt it would come to that. In our opinion, it just wouldn’t make sense on at least two levels: 1) time 2) money. So, we would anticipate that the two parties will hash it out behind closed doors.

So what do we think will happen short term? Probably not a lot of communication on this specifically from either end. Again we are making an assumption here based on the facts as presented by each side in their respective public statements, but it would seem logical to us that if  there are legal teams involved, the first piece of advice any lawyer gives their client is “keep your mouth shut”.  The only thing that we feel safe in saying for sure here, is that the respective legal teams will be earning their keep.
