Christian Serratos: On New Moon Movie

Christina Radish on IESB talked to Christian Serratos about her Twilight experience, her varied talents besides acting, and more.

I remember going to set for the first day, and I wasn’t going to film, I was going to talk to hair and make-up, and meet Chris for the first time. I got out of the car and the A.D. came up to me and introduced herself, and she had an umbrella. It was actually hot in Vancouver, and they put umbrellas over you on modeling shoots when it’s really hot out. I was like, “Oh, you don’t have to do that. It’s not that bad out.” And, she was like, “No, it’s for the paparazzi,” and I was like, “Oh, my God, is that really how it’s going to be this time? Seriously?” Every time any one of the cast members went anywhere, they had to have guys with umbrellas around them because there were that many paparazzi. Just going outside and seeing dozens of people with signs, as if it’s a concert, I felt like Duran Duran. It was weird. ”

Trailer Reaction Deadline Extended

Mike Welch to Star in Jason Epperson Debut

Larry Richman over at ProNetworks bagged the scoop that Mike Welch is in a new feature film:

“…Welch will be starring in a new movie which goes into production later this month. Jason Epperson, runner-up on the Fox reality series On The Lot, will be directing Michael in his first feature film Unrequited”

According to Jason Epperson:

“We must be living right…we just landed one of the biggest new stars in Hollywood for the Lead in our film.  Michael Welch was one of the stars in last year’s biggest films “Twilight”…”

Eclipse Casting

Marc Malkin over at E! got a look at the Eclipse casting notice that just started to circulate.

Here are some of the descriptions shared by Marc:

“Riley “is a handsome, blond, clean-cut college boy who falls victim to Victoria,” the notice reads. He’s in his early to mid 20s and “plays an integral role in Victoria’s attempt to murder Bella Swan.”

Seth Clearwater is a “tall, gangly-limbed boy with a huge, happy grin. Seth idolizes Jacob.

She[Leah Clearwater] is tall and slender with beautiful skin and short cropped black hair. She would be considered gorgeous if not for the perpetual scowl she carries due to a broken heart and her anger issues.”

Also, according to Marc, Rob was invited to do the musical number at the awards, but the timing just didn’t work out. Grab the video here because E! embed code is way messed up.

In answer to what will probably be the next set of  “how can I audition” questions to hit our inbox, if you are already “in the business” no doubt this is something your agent/manager can assist you with.  As far as we know, they are not up to extras casting at this point. No doubt any extras used will be Vancouver locals. If you have never been involved in the acting business before, don’t get scammed by the various ads stating “Twilight casting now” it’s a scam to sell you acting lessons and headshots. They aren’t in any way connected to the film. If you want some legit information on casting, visit Lana Veenker’s blog. It has a ton of info, Lana was invovled with the casting of Twilight (the first movie).

Peter Facinelli Unveils New Website

We’ve seen a lot of websites over the years that are connected to people in the Twilight universe.  Peter Facinelli’s debut website (previously he just had a MySpace) is nothing short of spectacular.

A round of applause for the design team: especially head web designer Chelle, and Emma and Kelly who did the Twilight section. They are still working out a couple of bugs, but you can tell it’s going to be fabulous.

The site has everything including an IPhone app! Peter has seriously raised the bar for future entertainment sites.

Check out what we are raving about here.
