Mike Welch Checking In

Mike Welch, who will play Mike Newton in the Twilight movie, sent us a message. Actually he sent it as when the site was going up and down as we were going through server hell and we only just recovered the message now. In any case, his quirky, off-beat humor and enthusiasm really comes through, which will be a plus in portraying the ever persistent Mike. Thanks to Silly Bella for being our roving reporter. We look forward to a Q&A with Mike when his schedule permits.

Helloooooo Twi-hards!! Mike Welch/Newton here. I’m leaving LA tomorrow February 27, 2008 to begin a road trip, which will eventually lead me to Oregon, where I will finally
begin work on TWILIGHT!!! It’s going to beoff the chiZane. And if yall show up on openingweekend, I’ll get to do it again and again! Oh what am I saying, of course you will. You’re Twi-hards!! You have to make sure we present your baby properly, and serve justice to the Twilight franchise. Iunderstand.

I can’t promise anything, but I will say that everyone attached to this project knows that they’re apart of something big, and potentially great. And when you take into account the talent and experience of the people working on this movie, the incredible story and characters we have as our blueprint, and the will and intent to capture the spirit that makes Twilight so captivating, I would say the odds are in our favor to make a really fantastic film.

Well, I’ve gotta finish packing. Turns out I’m low on socks. I guess I’ll have to pick up more on the way. I hope there’s an In N’ Out on the way. I LOOOOOVE me some In N’Out. If you don’t live in CA or AZ, you don’t have In N’ Out Burger, so you don’t know what I’m talking about. But man! those are some tasty burgers.. Ok, see ya later. Puppy-Dog away!!
