Recently made one. We have no idea which it since it’s not officially announced yet, but given that Taylor is hardly shy, we’re sure he’ll fill us in shortly.

Chris Weitz Interview on Movies Online
July 26, 2009
Chris Weitz gave an interview to Movies Online about the perils of shooting around crowds and more.
Q: How hard was it to shoot, now that the cast is so much more popular? Did you have to have extra security?
Chris: It was with Rob and Kristen, and all of the cast. It’s not just Rob. It’s really anybody who embodies, for these fans, the characters that they love. In the very best way, they have a hard time distinguishing between the love that they feel for the characters and the love that they feel for people they don’t know, who are the actors. So, yeah, you need security and you need people to protect them from the love of the fans, which is different from being the bodyguard for someone that someone is trying to assassinate. It’s a good thing, but sometimes you do worry about people getting crushed.

Anna Kendrick Joins Twitter!
July 25, 2009
Rachelle Lefevre pointed out to everyone today that Anna Kendrick just joined Twitter. Her account name is AnnaKendrick47. Personally we are dying to know why 47? Are there 46 other Anna Kendricks out there? Is it her lucky number? Maybe she just likes 4’s and 7’s?
Anyway, please go and welcome Anna to Twitter!

A very happy 22nd birthday to Mike Welch who just missed celebrating his birthday at Comic Con. A couple of years ago Mike celebrated his 17th birthday at the Shore Leave sci-fic convention. Hopefully he had some fun and down time this year since he just wrapped shooting on Unrequited.

Jamie Campell Bower in The Prisoner
July 25, 2009
Knowing nothing about upcoming AMC series The Prisoner, we decided to attend its panel discussion at Comic Con to learn more about this project that co-stars Jamie Campbell Bower. We are glad we did because now we are really interested in seeing this remake of a classic 1960’s UK sci-fi series.
AMC describes the show as, “ A man, known as “Six,” finds himself inexplicably trapped in “The Village” with no memory of how he arrived. As he explores his environment, he discovers that his fellow inhabitants are identified by number instead of name, have no memory of any prior existence, and are under constant surveillance. Not knowing whom to trust, Six is driven by the need to discover the truth behind The Village, the reason for his being there, and most importantly — how he can escape.” In the series the leader of The Village is played by Ian McKellan and Jamie Campbell-Bower plays his son, who based on the clips shown, starts to question the life he has always known.
One of our favorite parts of the panel discussion was when Jamie was asked. “What was it like having Magneto as your father?”, but Jamie held it together and came up with a sincere answer, “It was such a pleasure working with Ian. He is one of the finest actors that has ever lived. I feel blessed to be able to learn from someone of that calibre.”
There are two videos from the AMC site. One is the panel discussion that we saw and the second is Jamie Campbell-Bower interviewing Ian McKellan on set. (Make sure you check out the prisoner site because there are three more videos there.)
Borders Goes For Teen Market
July 25, 2009
In response to realizing that teens are now buying more books than ever, and realizing that many adults buy YA books, Borders has decided to change their approach a bit. Publishers Weekly covers the the change over which was in part inspired by the reaction to the Twilight Saga success.
“Popoff wants the teen section to move beyond books. Graphic novels and manga titles will be displayed immediately adjacent to the dedicated teen boutique, which is also next to genre fiction. Popoff said Borders has been seeing more crossover of adults interested in teen novels (such as the Twilight series), while some teens have shown an increased interest in categories such as romance.”
The trend isn’t limited to the US. In the UK they are reporting childrens book sales are up 8%.
Lee Safar In the Running for the Twilight Soundtrack
July 25, 2009
HOLLYWOOD CRUSH: How did you get involved with “New Moon”? Did they approach you, or did you approach them?
LEE SAFAR: How I came to find “Twilight” is a beautiful memory for me. Stu Henshall, a recent PR grad, and I had a chance meeting in London early this year. I gave him a copy of my debut EP “Who I’ve Become” to listen to. He went into his room and woke up the next morning, after having listened to my CD obsessively all night, he said, “I’m going to take you to see something today. Have you seen ‘Twilight’?” I told him that I hadn’t even heard of it but was intrigued. We went that day and saw the movie and I was immediately obsessed.
New Moon Movie Clips from Comic Con
July 24, 2009
So many of you have e-mailed us with various links informing us that these are on line. REPEATEDLY people in attendance were asked NOT to film these and specifically were told that if they end up on You Tube that we may not get film clips next year. Yet alas, there is always someone who has to go and spoil the fun. Thus we end up with multiple you tube versions of the footage. The admin team has discussed this at length with some other web sites as well and we have decided that we have to acknowledge the presence of these clips as this is obviously what everyone is talking about right now. So… even though we worry that this means we won’t get great footage like this next year… and even though these aren’t supposed to be for the general public… we are kind of up against a wall. Thus, we offer it to you to decide if you want to watch them or not. This way you can stop e-mailing us to tell us they are out there. And if they get removed from You Tube, then they get removed. But here are the clips shown in very bad filming with all the screaming going on around you so you don’t get the full effect.
Just to clarify on the issue – every clip from Alice in Wonderland to Tron came with the rule that we were not supposed to tape the footage. And when they say we might not get clips next year, they mean from any of the studios who shared clips. They give comic con special clips to reward the fans who paid the money and wait in line. But with you tube and the internet, it’s now the fact that even if you can’t go you still get the reward. So this wasn’t just Summit that was protecting their footage but EVERY studio there that was asking for support.
