Reelz Channel asks for your opinion on who you would like to see direct New Moon.
Rueters talks about the Twilight movie opening doors for Rob as far as greater media exposure goes. It also certainly doesn’t hurt that he’s made Forbes list of breakout stars of 2008 in the number 5 position.
EURO TOUR More from the Euro Twilight Tour. Kristen and Rob photo time, and Rob talking about an odd aspect of his life.
Kellan Lutz is looking forward to New Moon and those great one liners. What’s you favorite Emmettism?
The LA Times has two great articles that do more than just quote and rehash last night’s press release. The first is entitled "Why Twilight’s Director Got the Boot", and the second talks about what Catherine’s departure means for New Moon.
MTV has one of the best discussions going on possible replacement directors.
As for where we stand, we’re still taking a let’s wait and see where this thing is going attitude. We sure weren’t part of any talks between Catherine and Summit. They alone know what was discussed, and why they parted ways. In the elaborate game of Internet he said she said we’re not going to second guess who said what to whom and how. Right now, we’re looking to keep the drama in the books and on the screen where it belongs. We’ll see what eventually pans out. It may not be glitzy and in your face, but that’s our opinion and we’re sticking with it. 🙂

Footage from when Cam and Kristen appeared in Spain about a month ago was just released. TY to Wolfspirt from Twilight Poison for the heads up.
Novel Novice has a series of Twilight holiday downloads from wallpapers to e-cards. Check them out.
Awhile back People ran a poll to decide who would get their next focus page: Rob, Kristen, or Taylor. Well, probably to the surprise of no one, Rob won and now has his own page. On the off chance People is reading this, cool, but we’d kinda like it if Taylor and Kristen had their own pages too. TY to multiple people for emailing in.
By all reports, The Hub Convention went off fabulously. Taylor, Nikki, and Edi were fan favorites at the one day signing/Q &A events that were held in two cities. Here is one fans report.
Mike Welch updated his blog. Also, if you can find it, Mike will be in the December issue of Stargate SG-1 magazine.
Variety posts a bit of a follow up to yesterday’s news from Summit that Catherine is no longer attached to New Moon, mostly everyone else is just rehashing the same press release that we had. As far as the Lexicon goes, we’re adopting a wait and see attitude. As many people in our comments have pointed out most series do change up directors and this could be a good or bad thing depending on a number of things. So, we aren’t resorting to panic, we’re going for taking a deep breath, and waiting to see where this is going.
Twilight Fun Last, but not least, Kudos to Jamielee for giving us the best laugh of the morning. I’m now wiping the coffee off my monitor.
The Normal Mormon Husbands are back. This time they have their own ideas on New Moon casting, or should we say recasting. They also have a quiz where you can voice your opinion on their recasting choices.
examiner.com The Examiner has a 4-part series/debate featuring book fans who did and didn’t like the Twilight movie.
Newsweek analyzes the latest trend in vampires.
MovieWeb has a post Twilight release interview with Peter Facinelli.
Box Office Prophets just doesn’t know what to make out of the Twilight selling pattern, because frankly it’s not following any pattern they are used to.
BOX OFFICE MOJO Now if you want the really interesting stats, you go to Box Office Mojo where you soon find out that:
| Domestic: | $138,552,000 |
| + Foreign: | $21,325,749 |
|
|
|
| = Worldwide: | $159,877,749 |
You definitely had to pay attention to the movie and the Rotten Tomatoes site to get all of these right.
Sorry it took awhile to do this, but this is what happens when you hold an event the weekend before Thanksgiving and then the entire admin team comes down with the flu!
Anyway, we both want to say again how completely fabulous it was to see the Twilight Movie in a movie theater filled with Lexiconers! People traveled from Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama, New Jersey, Indiana, Missouri, Tennessee, and Utah to come and see the movie with us.
We have two videos for you. The first one shows you what went into the goodie bags that we gave out, and the second features the winners of the raffled prizes. Given that the cost of the event was $10.00 a person, all-in-all we’d say that people definitely got their money’s worth!
Don’t worry our creative juices are already flowing for what we will do for the New Moon movie. We can guarantee to you that it will be bigger and better than the Nashville event, and frankly…even if we do say so ourselves…we think we did pretty good this last time.
