Black Book Magazine Features Twilight Stars

Black Book Magazine has two featurettes on Twilight stars.

First up is Anna Kendrick sporting a sultry almost retro Ann Margaret look. When asked how she felt about all the attention she is getting for her new film, Up In The Air, which co-stars George Clooney, Anna said:

“I’m allowing myself to think about the possibility that this could be a big deal, because I think the worst thing would be to get caught off guard.”

You can catch the rest of Anna’s article here.

Next is Jamie Campbell Bower who has three major items coming up in teh near future: New Moon, The Prisnoer with Ian McKellan, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. When asked what it was like being on the set of New Moon, Jamie responded:

“I was terrified.I was like, Oh my God, what am I doing? Am I saying the right things? Am I being cool? I don’t know if I’m cool! These cats better like me!”

See the rest of Jamie’s article here.

Sunday Morning Herald Interviews Robert Pattinson

Sydney, Australia’s Sunday Morning Herald has an interview done with Rob back at the Cannes Film Festival that they are now allowed to release. Rob covers it all from Twilight to upcoming projects with Hugh Jackman:

“I don’t really need to do stuff to relax or get away because all my interests are part of my job. Like I’ll watch movies to be inspired to do other movies. I read books to be inspired. I listen to music to be inspired to write music. Everything I do is to create something.”

Pattinson’s next film is Unbound Captives. He met Jackman in Japan recently for a little bonding ahead of the film. “We went karaoke singing,” he laughs. “We were singing Abba songs, it was pretty funny. It was sort of an Abba song sing-off, you know, last man standing.”

Who won? “I think he did, only because he can drink more than me and still sing in tune. He’s a cool guy and I’m really looking forward to that film.”

The other day we blogged about a contest CafePress is running (click the banner for details)

They just contacted us to say thanks for letting people know about the contest, and they want us to be able to give a free CafePress tee shirt to one lucky Lexiconer as an additional thank you.  So if you you’d like a free Twilight themed CafePress tee shirt respond to this entry with the words “pick me” and we’ll pick someone at random at 12:00 (noon) est October 10th.

Now you can pick any Cafepress Twilight Saga Themed shirt that you want from any CafePress store if you win. You can see the vast number of stores here. Of course in a shameless bit of self promotion, we’d be thrilled if you picked something from the Lexicon’s own store 🙂 Check out some of our designs below.

Also if you are planning on attending a convention, the totes bags come in super handy. Not only do you need something to carry your camera and souvenirs around in, but the bags sign really well . So, you could have the actors sign your bag.

Dracula Sequel Penned by Descendant

According to the Vancouver Sun, Canadian resident and Bram Stoker descendant, Dacre Stoker, has written a sequel to his great uncle’s novel that started it all. The book is entitled Dracula: The Un-dead and “is set 25 years after the events of the 1897 novel, and focuses on Quincey — the son of the ill-fated Jonathan Harker and Mina Murray from the original tale.”

When asked to comment on the current Twilight craze Dacre Stoker said, “They call them “sparkly vamps,” he says. “And I’m trying to say we’re all born from that same page that Bram wrote. Every generation rediscovers it. And while (Meyer’s) vampires may be different, she’s bringing a whole new generation of young vampire fans who eventually are going to get a little older and want to see other vampire stories and what their roots are.”

You can check out Dacre Stoker’s site here for full details on the book.

So what do you think? Any interest in this sequel?
