Xavier Samuel Interview on PROnetworks

Larry of PRONetworks, who is pretty much our go-to guy covering the indie film scene, interviewed Xavier Samuel before he suddenly became a household name. Larry writes:

“While many media outlets have focused interest on him by virtue of his sudden rise to fame as the newest member of the Twilight franchise, my perspective is slightly different.

I was fortunate to have actually met and interview Xavier Samuel and cover the premieres of two of his four previous feature films: Newcastle, at the Tribeca Film Festival in April 2008, and 2:37, at the Santa Barbara Film Festival in January 2007. So I’ve been happy to be able to actually write a bit about who he is and what he’s done, in addition to reporting the news that he’s been Twilighted.”

Check out Larry’s perpective here and listen to the interview.

Rotten Tomatoes: New Moon Comic Con Top Ten

Rotten Tomatoes has a top ten list on the things New Moon proved at Comic Con.  Number 9 was out favorite:

“9. Twilight fanaticism was as strong as ever this year. While nothing could top the ear-piercing and unexpected sounds of thousands of girls at the Twilight panel last year — where fan boy culture’s hold on the Con was hijacked by a vampire romance, of all things — 2009 sure came close. And Twilighters were better prepared for the challenge of getting a coveted seat in Hall H for Thursday’s panel; a few fans camped out a full two days ahead, and by Wednesday morning, Twihards were Twittering from the line.”

The Borders Comic Con Podcast

We had a blast at the Borders podcast. Be My Escape acted as behind the scenes help doling out prizes while Pel sat on the panel.

Pel was able to do a trivia game with some hard questions apparently, and then she followed up on a panel discussing what’s in the upcoming movie.

Kallie and Kassie & Andrew and Matt are pros when it comes to podcasting.  They have it down and know how to make it an interesting show.  Make sure you check out both the Twilight Source/Imprint and Twilight Series Theories sites.

You can hear the podcast on ITunes or Mevio. The details are here on Twilight Series Theories.

A huge thank you to Borders media, mangement, and store manager, Carlos, and staff for making it happen.

Kristen Stewart on Hallucintions

Some how this got stuck in our draft queue, not sure how that happened. Better late than never.

Steve (AKA Frosty) from Collider snagged an interview with Ashley Greene just before the panel discussion.

He is promising more shortly. Check out his write up here.
