Interesting Facts

• Twilight is the 12th highest grossing film this year and climbing. It should easily break the top ten by the end of the weekend. It will probably finish out in the number 7 slot or higher.
• The country outside the USA where Twilight is the biggest success is Italy where Twilight has brought in 12 million followed by Mexico at 6 million and Spain at 5 million
• The movie hasn’t opened yet in the UK, Ireland, Germany, and much of South America, all major Twilight hot spots.

OFCC The Oklahoma Film Critics Circle talks about how this is the year that Hollywood was forced to pay attention to women given the success of films like Sex in the City, Twilight, and Four Christmases.

The Veronicas talk to MTV about their Twilight and Rob Obsession among other things.

 The Australia Herald Sun sums up the Twilight experience, which is quite an experience given how the Twilight Saga is dominating the Australian book charts.

The Twilight Saga and The Host lauched Stephenie onto a Sci-Fi movers and shakers list.

The UK’s Daily Mail talks about why Twilight is love at first bite for teens and their parents.

The LA Times has an insightful piece on why Twilight isn’t for everybody (meaning age appropriate). One of the best parts is the comments from the kids, proving once again that kids are a lot smarter than anyone usually gives them credit for being.

Someone with Forks roots at the Seattle Times looks back in retrospect at the town. Hell’s Angels once visited Forks, who knew?

Rolling Stone has selected their Rob vs. Jonas Brothers feature for the comment of the week.

The folks over at 4tnz had their own brand of fun based on the Rob vs. Jonas Brothers Rolling Stone feature. We give you, If Joe starred in Twilight. (Put down all liquids, you don’t want Diet Coke all over your monitor, you have been warned.)

According to MTV Twilight is killing off the competition, or at the very least is providing a handy excuse for producer Brad Fuller.

We’ve about lost count of the number of people who have asked us lately, "What do your blog readers think?" So, time to sound off.

No matter where you stand on who you think should or shouldn’t be attached to the New Moon movie, there is one thing that could cause a MAJOR problem. The Twilight movie dodged a bullet last year when the script was basically done prior to the strike, and filming started right after the strike was settled. A SAG strike could cause real probelms.

Twilight is picking up steam in Tawain.

IT  The Irish Times interviews Rob about his roller-coaster ride in the entertainment industry.

According to MTV, Perry Farrell is dying to get on the New Moon soundtrack. 

MTV also mentions that Summit has not confirmed the story run by EW that Chris Weitz is signed on as the director of New Moon. Despite, the no official commentary from Summit, we’ve quoted EW ( rather than other sources who have been hinting at this) because EW doesn’t stick their neck out unless they have something.

Steve, AKA "Frosty" over at Collider has the scoop on Cam’s latest movie, The Unborn.

Twilight hits home! Sorry I couldn’t help myself. According to Lexiconer, Jen Twilight is all over the virtual world.

 

This just in from Entertainment Weekly, although we have no official confirmation from Summit, EW doesn’t stick their necks out like this unless they have something truly viable.

Sources tell Entertainment Weekly that Summit Entertainment is about to hire Chris Weitz (The Golden Compass) as the shepherd for New Moon, the second installment of Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling Twilight series.  http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2008/12/its-official-ch.html

Weitz is best-known for his work with his brother Paul. The two directed and produced American Pie and then were nominated for an Academy Award for best screenplay for About a Boy, which they also co-directed. Chris’ first solo directing gig, The Golden Compass, didn’t do well stateside but was a hit internationally.

Twilight, directed by Catherine Hardwicke, has grossed more than $141 million so far, but Hardwicke had clashed with the studio during production. It was announced early this week that she would not be making New Moon. Weitz has a solid relationship with Summit’s top brass; he’s considered easy to work with and has experience with special effects. "He’s the quality-of-life-choice," says one source. While Summit insists "we have not yet signed Chris Weitz to do New Moon," and Weitz’s agency says no deal has been signed, other sources say the deal is imminent, and that Summit has stopped negotiations with other potential Moon directors. Summit had planned to announce this hiring decision on Sunday, Dec. 14, and could have Weitz in Vancouver, B.C. as early as Monday to start pre-production on the film
