Belated Wolfpack Wednesday

Over the last several months the Lexicon has been very fortunate to attend several of the Official Twilight Conventions run by Creation Entertainment. At every one of the events we have Tweeted about the Q&A sessions given by the various actors most recently in the the main Lexicon account at the Chicago tour stop.

At the Chicago convention we attended we had Bronson Pelletier, Tinsel Korey, Tyson Houseman, and Kiowa Gordon all on stage at the same time telling many funny and personal stories about their experiences on set while filming The Twilight Saga: New Moon. And as always, we Tweeted all about it.

Thanks to Creation, we were fortunate enough, to able to get the pack members to sign various items. And the good news is that we want to repay you all for following our Tweets by giving these photos away. In fact we’re now extending the initial giveaways since we now have more things, such as the above tote bag signed by Tinsel Korey.

Each Wednesday, (for as long as we have stuff 🙂 ) we are giving items away. If you know the correct answer, reply to the post with your answer and we will choose one winner at random at the end of the day. Make sure you spell your email address correctly when you post your comment so we can get in touch if you win. Anyone can participate from anywhere in the world. we don’t care if the winner is on the Antarctic science station. we’ll get your photo to you no matter what continent you live on.

Last week’s winner is person number 45, Morag who knew that Chaske Spencer’s favorite games were chess and spades.

Now for this week’s question: “When asked if she was on Team Edward or Team Jacob, what was Tinsel Korey’s response?We will close this contest at 11:59pm est. tomorrow, Friday since we are late in posting this. The winner picked at random from the correct answers gets an werewolf girl tote bag signed by Tinsel.

Melissa Rosenberg talks about New Moon, David Slade, and Dexter

MRScreenwriter Melissa Rosenberg, seen here with Stephenie Meyer, spoke to Sci-Fi TV Zone about her career.  The interview was done over the phone and they have supplied the recording for us to listen to.  They have divided it up into four segments.  The first segment focuses on her work with the show Dexter.  The second segment is about how she adapted the Twilight Saga for films.  The third segment is all about her work with New Moon.  And the fourth segment provides her thoughts on The Twilight Saga: Eclipse director David Slade.

About New Moon, Rosenberg says, “It looks gorgeous!  And it is a big movie!” And she confirms that Taylor Lautner is “unbelievable” in the way he stands up against the relationship established by Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson in the first film.

Listen to all four segments over at the Sci-Fi TV Zone.

Michael Sheen talks about New Moon and Aro

aroEven though he is known for his biographical roles, such as Tony Blair or David Frost, Michael Sheen has also taken on some supernatural roles in the Underworld series.  But now he’s the ever frightening Aro in The Twilight Saga: New Moon and he talks about it with USA Today.

After he read the first two books himself, Sheen realized why the literary phenom causes teen girls to swoon. “What it has tapped into, at least in the first book, is how it feels to fall in love for the first time. I don’t think you have to be a girl to relate to that.
“The second book captures the utter desolation of losing that first love. I went through that myself, and Stephenie Meyer invokes that brilliantly.”

“We wrote ‘Meet Me On the Equinox’ to reflect the celestial themes and motifs that run throughout the Twilight series, and we wanted to capture that desperate feeling of endings and beginnings that so strongly affect the main characters,” said Death Cab for Cutie bassist Nick Harmer. “This song marks the first attempt that Death Cab for Cutie has ever made at contributing new, unreleased material for a film.  It just seems a perfect synergy that a band from the Northwest would create a song for a series of novels set in the Northwest.  We are not only proud to be a part of the Twilight legacy but also honored to join so many other fantastic artists that have leant their amazing creativity to this soundtrack.”

The RingCon Report: Edi Gathegi and Christian Serratos

RingCon is an annual convention in Germany that is a fantasy convention.  It has stars appear from movies like The Lord of the Rings, Twilight, and other fantasy based films/projects.

This year Edi Gathegi and Christian Serratos were in attendance. The German site, Forks Bloodbank, has written up a report.

“Edi stated: It happens very rarely for an actor to be part of such a successful movie and it’s definitely a blessing that all these doors are opening up ’cause you’re part of this franchise. It’s great and I want to relate to Kyle’s words, I’m in Germany, get to meet friends and Twilight fans. Twilight fans are amongst the best fans ever. They develop a passion for the story and support us. Everyone tells you that they are addicted to the books and love them and that they read through them in two days.” Christian’s private live hasn’t really changed since Twilight. “I still have the same friends but it’s obvious how great it is to be here and meet all the great fans!” It’s the first visit to Germany for the three of them and they all talk about how much they like it here.”
