Archives for 2008

Lexiconer Caspiana was at an extra’s casting call the other day.

There was a line around the block with an intense amount of fan girls and a few boys, many were reading the books in line. Once we all got a number we went into this huge room and they called us in groups of about 20. Being 742, I was there for a VERY long time. Still fun all the same. Around about 3 a guy named Danny came in to give us the low down and let us ask a few questions. They are in desperate need of a 1992 silverado truck and were asking for it. Might be Bella’s truck I don’t know, but Bella’s was much older, but that is a mighty specific truck to be looking for.

Some of the scenes are to be shot in a warehouse in Clackamas, that has no windows or anything to sneek anyone on set (drat). They also were hinting that most of the extras were to be used in as high school students (Shocking.) They already cast all the vampires (cause one little girl asked about being a vampire…which we know none exist in the movie….). and said that filming begins on the 27th or 28th and goes on for about 7 weeks. They said before that they wanted older crappy cars which, thank goodness, I have. But they said that newer cars would be needed for the prom scene? They needed a lot of extras and people can still apply online, but the hoard of people who showed up today would get priority.

I’ll let you know if I get any more info and if I get the call ^.^

I think the easiest way to explain where things have moved is a Q&A. Feel free to post this verbatim anywhere anyone wants.

Q: Where will my front page daily news from the Twilight Lexicon staff be found?

A: As some of you have noticed, we have a slightly different URL www.twilightlexicon.com. The daily news, characters bios, personal correspondence, etc. Will now be found at this URL.

Some links are not working within things like character bios and mythology etc. Don’t worry, all the old information is here, it just has to be renamed. Right now certain links point back to the former URL. This is what the admins will be doing over the next month or so.

Until we relink everything back up, if you are really dying to find a specific post use the search function that we added and it should(in theory) find the file. Alternatively, you’ll notice the archive feature that has been added. If you know the approximate date that information was originally added, you can find the item by looking through that month’s archives. All-in-all the site is mostly functional.

Q: Where will the forums be for book and movie discussion?

A: At the moment they are found at www.twilightlexicon.com/Message_Boards/, but in a few days they will move to www.twilightlexiconforum.com

Q: So what happened to just plain old www.twilightlexicon.com?

A: Good question. The ownership of that name currently belongs to our former tech person. We are waiting for him to give/sell us the name that we have been using for over two years. Our plans are to turn it into a nice looking welcome page with links to take you to the newsblog, forums, store, chat, wherever.

We can now confirm, what most fans had speculated correctly, and that is Kellen Lutz is slated to play Emmett Cullen. Also, apparently, Henry Cavill according to the Henry Cavill Fan site was offered the part of Carlilse and was not interested in the project.to read the script, but due to his work on The Tudors he was unable to consider it. We’d again like to thank everyone for their patience as we have had a a lot to iron out on the tech end on probably our busiest news two weeks ever. You guys have been really supportive. Please check out yesterday’s entry for some of the "in progress" items. Thanks again. Pel

The blog is back, Some links are not working within things like character bios and mythology etc. Don’t worry, all the old information is here, it just has to be renamed. Right now certain links point back to the former URL. Pel tells me this is what the admins will be doing over the next month or so.

Let us know of any broken links you see. By posting in the comments on this thread in case we miss one as we are working

The message boards (Forum) will be up as soon as possible. We will keep you posted.

24601 (Hi, I’m the new tech guy)

We have from a reliable source that Jackson Rathbone has been cast as Jasper.  If you all remember Stephenie had originally had him as one of her Edward picks.  Jackson’s IMDb can be found here.  There is also a Jackson Rathbone fansite.

On another note MTV has posted an article about new cast members Nikki Reed, Cam Gigandet, Michael Welch, and Rachelle Leferve.  There is also this article on MTV.

Happy Valentine’s Day!!!!!!

The Prologue and Chapter 4 of The Host are now available on Stephenie’s Website.  Also there is a 10 city tour planned for The Host.  This informaiton can be found on The Host Index. 

The cities listed are:

LA

San Diego

Portland, OR

Denver

Salt Lake City

Phoenix

Houston

Austin

Chicago

Kansas City

As soon as we get dates and locations we will let you know.

When the forums reopen we will have a Host Forum.   

Kellan Lutz has been added to the cast of Twilight as reported in an article on BD.com.  There is no news of who he will be playing but we will update as soon as we get inforamtion.  Here is his IMDb page.

Don’t panic it will be back. I know you currently can’t see the personal correspondence and several other items. We are working on it.  Various times may be going up and down over the next few days.

Also Seth, Stephenie’s Webmaster, posted information about open casting calls for extras.  Thanks to Sara for the heads up.

I have confirmation on a variety of other cast members from a reliable source. I know there are a million rumors circulating out there about other parts, but since I have no credible confirmation, I am not posting other names at this time.

Again, keeping out site policy in mind, you don’t have to like a particular actor.  However, if you are going to critique this actor on this website, it has to do with their performing abilities and not the fact that they have "The wrong color hair, eyes, a tan, are short…" or any other number of superficial things make-up, lighting, and a good camera angle can solve.

Elizabeth Reaser                 Esme
Ashley Greene         Alice
Nikki Reed                Rosalie
Peter Facinelli        Carlisle

Rachel Lefevre        Victoria

Photo line-up by TwilightObsessed who rocks for working this fast.  Stand by tomorrow when a we feature some banners and avatars featuring new cast members.

Right now we are experiencing trouble transferring the data from our forums. Basically they are so huge every time we try to download the table specific to posts our connection times out. 

Here’s the deal. We are trying to avoid this, but if push comes to shove, we are going to have to delete the following forums (we would open them anew starting from scratch once we move the site):

Flight to Phoenix
New Kid in Town
Happy Anniversary
April Fools

We will also edit content on
Astin Martin
Accident Prone
Hollywood Hideout (possibly old posts)
Quench Your Thirst (possibly old posts)

So if there is something in those forums that you really want to have in the future like a funny quote, some information, whatever: copy that information NOW!  I may have to perform the above deletion at the end of the week.

We would also appreciate it if you could delete unneeded PM’s from your in  and sentboxes.
