Archives for 2008

The hand campaign that we first mentioned last week, seems to be taking off like a rocket, or maybe we should say a tracking vampire.

The site now has it’s own website.

Kellan Lutz just gave a great interview over at KellanLutz.org .  Thanks to multiple people.

Taylor Lautner mentions Twilight goofing around in this YouTube video with actress pal Alyson Stoner. Thanks to Mermia.

Nollie came to us with an idea for Ashley Greene fans.

And the Canadian program Etalk has a variety of Twilight interviews featuring Rob and others.  Thanks to  lmelody for the heads up.

FOR INTERNATIONAL RELEASE ONLY:

Our mailbag and blog posts have been filled of requests by overseas Lexiconers wanting to know about the release date abroad for the Twilight movie. We’ve seen the rumors too that have run from it won’t go to Europe at all, to it’s going straight to DVD, etc. We thought, time to end the rumors. Let’s get  information straight from the source. So we talked to Summit and this is what we have been able to find out.

1. This WAY TOO EARLY to tie any date down specifically.
2. It’s currently slated for a early 2009 release.
3. They know that the fans want to movie sooner rather than later.

We specifically asked, "Does that mean a December 12, 2008 release is out of the question?"  We were told, "Nothing at this point can be ruled out."  So, what it all boils down to is give it  some more time, and concrete answers will be available.

The movie is still slated to release domestically on December 12, 2008.

In light of the fact that The Host has been released internationally, we’ve had some discussion as to how we should proceed.  I know that many of you are just chomping at the bit to discuss the book.  I am, too!  Out of fairness to the many fans here in the states that still have a few weeks to wait for the book, we will not be opening our Host forum for spoiler discussion.  Please, we ask that if you have had the chance to read an ARC or the real book internationally that you keep your posts spoiler free until May 6th when the book comes out here in the states.  At that point we will open the forums for full discussion.  It will be up to the individual members to decide if they want to visit the forum and be spoiled or wait until they finish the book.  But as for right now, we are going to maintain our no spoiler policy here at the Lexicon.

"MTV is my new best friend because this is probably the best 3 1/2 minutes I’ve ever spent:
Twilight characters video  Even having my own lame face on there did not ruin it for me. I honestly do not know if I will actually live through seeing this movie. (Good thing Breaking Dawn is pretty much done, eh?)

On an unrelated note, this new site made me laugh buckets:
Twilight Guy  A note to Caleb, if he ever sees this: You are right; I totally should have given Bella a fire truck."

Nice to know that guys really do read Twilight!

We’ve had a bunch of questions lately regarding The Host and availability.  He are happy to pass on the good news that the Hachette Book Group, the adult publishing division of Stephenie’s usual publisher Little Brown, is doing both the audio and the eBook.  So all you people who like to listen to a book in your car, or who are dying to break in your new Kindle, you are in luck!

Also, some of you have been reporting The Host sightings in your books stores.  It seems that the international version, meaning English language editions put out by the UK publishing division, went on sale on April 2, 2008. This means you can get it in countries served by the UK publishers which is as follows:

UK
Ireland
Indonesia
Philippines
Australia
Hong Kong
and any territories of the above.

So for our international members you guys hit the jackpot. Ask down at your local bookshop.   For those of you who have read the book and are ready to discuss it visit our Host Forum!

Summit Entertainment has released a promo video!  You can see it on MTV .  This is a Summit Production, not an MTV production.  Its a real promo.  The cast talks about filming the stunts and it shows some really cool stunts taking place. It includes footage from Biology, Bella’s Bedroom and more.  So be warned for spoilers and enjoy!!!

*EDIT– Our many international friends can see the video here.

**EDIT : MTV BLOG fills in the gaps with more info.  If you comment mention you got the link from the Lexicon! 

I can see you are all anxious to discuss this wonderful video Summit has put together for the fans!  Discuss everything you saw and your thoughts on our Message Board.

Mike Welch updates his blog and responds to the Twi-Hard controversy.

From our site’s POV people can call themselves whatever they want. We tend to says "fans", "Twilighters", or "Lexiconers" depending on the situation because that’s what we’ve been doing since we started in March 2006. Usually though, we tend not even to use the word because it’s obvious we are talking about us (meaning people who love Twilight).

We directed people over to the MTV vote stating, "Go and vote before you get called something you hate." because if you are going to have a moniker stuck on you by a news source that asks "What should the fans be called?", you should at least be aware that 1) they were asking and 2) you should have a voice in what that is.

Twilighters.org posted an interview this morning with one Robert Pattinson’s doubles. 

And Don’t forget to keep voting for Stephenie in the Time Most Influential People Poll.  Despite the current totals we want to express our extreme pride in the Twilight fans voting patterns on this poll.  While it is obvious that others have been voting down their "competitors" in an attempt to better their position, you have maintained the class and dignity of this site by not sinking to such tactics.  You played fair, and that in and of itself means more to us then any position on a poll.  You showed class Twilight Fans.  You Rock!

We told you about the fansite awards that Kellmett Happens was organizing called The Forkies about 2 weeks ago.  You went to their Live Journal site, you nominated your favorite Twilight sites in the categories listed, and now its time to vote! 

*Note you must be a registered Live Journal user to vote.

The polls will close this FRIDAY at 9pm!  So go…vote for your favorites!
