A Twilight Saga Fansite
For Fanning, it was the chance to be the bad girl for once.
“She’s never really gotten to play a bad person before, probably because she is a very good person. She is really a lovely young person. But I think she had some fun playing, really, the most evil of all the bad guys,” Weitz said. “[Jane]‘s bad news. Very bad.”
Kim Sherman, the Parent’s Examiner, interviewed Daniel Cudmore:
“The burning question posed by fans who adore both Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen: Which did you enjoy more- throwing around Wolverine or Edward Cullen?
No question about that one. “I definitely enjoyed throwing around Edward,” Daniel booms. “Wolverine was one toss.”
Daniel went on about working with Robert in the fight scene, and is proud of the fact that Robert took on a lot of the work himself.
“Robert and I worked together on a lot of it. He was a little apprehensive at first, but he enjoyed himself. Robert did one of the main sections of the fight.” Fortunately, Daniel and stunt man Simon had worked together on AVPR previously, so their rapport was intact. “Simon took some pretty hard hits on the ground, especially the ones where I’m throwing him on the floor from six feet above.”

MTV has released this image to tease what the clip they are running during Friday’s Ulalume.
Do yourself a favor and get yourself a fan and a glass of water before watching this.

So, to sum up the FAQ’s we’ve been getting in our inbox:
1. You need to choose whether you want to go to Hot Topic or Nordstrom for a chance at these tickets
2. Specific cast members are unknown for locations
3. Times are not announced yet for the November appearances
4.We don’t know if the same cast members will appear at both HT and Nordstrom on the same day.
5. The Times Square location is the Toy R Us that has a Hot Topic inside.
6. It is unknown if malls will let you line up days early with tents, sleeping bags, etc. That’s up to mall management and the local authorities. We suggest you contact the specific Nordstrom or HT to see what their crowd control game plan is.
MTV asks the Twilight cast to detail the odd things in their trailers. Check out the answers by Kellan Lutz, Liz Reaser, Nikki Reed, and Ashley Greene.
All this Q&A is leading up to MTV’s Ulalume Festival that premieres on Friday night on MTV where they’ve got a special new clip from New Moon.
Vanity Fair is kicking off what they are calling Vamp Week with an interview with Peter Facinelli.
“What would you say is the one major thing that has changed about your life since starting the franchise?
I’m traveling a lot more than I used to and interacting with a lot more people. The fan base on this, I don’t know how else to explain it … it’s a cultural phenomenon. People will actually hop on a plane to see you. Sometimes I do these charity events, and people fly in to come and see me. I’m just really, really impressed with [the fan] dedication to these books and to the movies. I’ve always had a fan base with the work I’ve done, but never as rabid as this.
You seem pretty dedicated to them, too, judging by your Twitter page.
You know, I love connecting with the fans because I’m a fan of the books myself. They’re all so dedicated and wonderful to me that I love to be able to give back. So if stopping for a picture or signing a book of theirs puts a smile on their face, then that makes me happy, too. I kind of go out of my way to make sure—if there are fans hanging around the set—to try to stop and say hello to them before I get in the van. It takes five minutes to make people happy. I love interacting with them.”
MTV: What do you see as the biggest difference between the tales in the “Twilight” saga?
Kellan Lutz: What’s the biggest difference? That’s an interesting question. Because the books are already about different subjects. Stephenie [Meyer] wrote them with the Romeo and Juliet aspect, and then, each one has a different persona. It’s a really cool concept. But as far as the directors go, each director is different. Catherine [Hardwicke] was very energetic, and she made this beautiful movie. Chris [Weitz] had this really cool, really laid-back [vibe], but has a great sense of how to do CGI and how to make these wolves look real and bigger than life versus just some computerized image. Then David Slade, with his action background and his indie style, just mixed the two. The movies are going to be unique in their own aspects, and that’s what’s really interesting — it’s not the same director doing each one. We, as actors, got to see different styles of [directing]. So it doesn’t feel old, ever.
We’ve more or less seen most of this material before. Now, it’s in commercial format.
