Comic Con Attendee Recap

There’s been a lot in the news lately as to who is and isn’t attending Comic Con.  Below is a recap of what we know so far and what the source is. Keep in mind however that this could all change if an actor’s schedule changes, or even if the traffic on the Interstate out of LA is a nightmare. Last year Dakota Fanning pretty much missed all of her Push panel because of getting stuck in traffic.

Jamie Campbell-Bower: Confirmed as being there on Friday as part of the AMC’s highly anticipated mini-series “The Prisoner’s” panel. Confirmation via AMC press release. Unknown if he will be part of the New Moon panel on Thursday.

Robert Pattinson At Comic Con and Teen Choice Awards?

The Spunk Ransom site called Robert Pattinson’s management company and, according to their Twitter, was given the following information:

We just confirmed Rob is scheduled to attend Comic Con and the Teen Choice Awards – pending scheduling conflicts! We will re-confirm again!…We called Rob’s management and spoke with Devon – she said he is confirmed unless a scheduling conflict occurs.”

Keep in mind that Rob is still actively filming Remember Me, and his schedule is subject to change.


Justin Chon in J-14

Justin Chon gave a quick interview to J-14:

J-14: In Twilight, did you draw from your own high school experience to flirt with Bella Swan in the cafeteria?
Justin Chon: Of course. As an actor you’re always trying to draw from real stuff to make it real, but I would say in acting terms, you use like substitutions and you think back to the moment. I just tried to make him as awkward as possible and just overly excited about everything.

J-14: What was it like flirting with Kristen Stewart?
Justin: Her character is just really awkward. So you put two really awkward people together and it’s just a really funny thing to see them try and have a fluid conversation.”

Robert Pattinson Interview Translated

Bits and pieces of this interview may have appeared online before because some of the questions and answers are really familiar. However it’s now in all one place for the first time. Twilight Poison has translated an interview that Robert Pattinson gave to Los 40 Principales magazine.

A year ago I couldn’t get a date. Now the world has gone backwards. I can have any 14 year old that I want.” says the British actor Robert Pattinson, who has become overnight, the new It Boy thanks to his character Edward Cullen.

What do fans say about you when they meet you in person?
They are increadibly opinionated. They have very clear ideas as to how I should live my life. Who knew 15 years old could be so moralistic?”

See the rest of the translation on Twilight Poison.

Dakota Fanning: People Page

Dakota Fanning is up for her own People page. Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner all received pages in the past year. Dakota is up against some stiff competition to get a page this round. TY to Michelle for teh heads up.

Kellan Lutz & Ashley Greene: Warrior

Photography from the upcoming Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene movie Warrior is now online.  Be warned there are a lot of shots and it’s a little spoilery so look at your own risk. The Photographer is Patti Arpaia and her gallery can be found here.

This is the plot synopsis according to the IMBD:

“In shock and denial over his Marine father’s death in battle, star Lacrosse player Conor Sullivan, always a maverick and a hothead, starts acting out in self-destructive ways that have his mom, Claire, at her wit’s end. But arduous training in a wilderness Lacrosse camp under the tutelage of his dad’s old combat buddy, Sgt. Major Duke Wayne, opens Conor’s eyes to the true meaning of maturity, sportsmanship and manhood..”

Twilight Saga Movies: A Showtime Exclusive

Deadbolt seems to have picked up on a piece of news that just about every other media outlet out there missed. Showtime has scooped up the rights to broadcast all the movies in the Twilgiht Saga. That’s quite a coup! According to Deadbolt:

“…it was announced that Showtime has signed an exclusive Twilight deal with Summit Entertainment that gives Showtime the rights to air all Twilight films in the Stephenie Meyer based Twilight Saga upon the release of Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking dawn to cable television. With cable television curry enjoying a new moon in popularity and far from any twilight of what TV fans can expect, the release of critically acclaimed cable TV movies and series have overshadowed mainstream networks.”
