The Twilight Saga Official Site has a glimpse into Catherine Hardwicke’s upcoming Director’s Notebook.

They have released an early image from the book on items that Catherine always had with her, and they are promising another image on Friday. Better than that, however, they want your questions for an interview with Catherine. The thing is they need them now!

According to the Twilight Saga website,

“To celebrate the release of her new book, Catherine Hardwicke will answer some of your questions about making the Twilight movie right here on thetwilightsaga.com. Click here to email her your questions. Please note, we’ll only be able to take questions until tomorrow (March 3rd) at noon EST. Come back on March 17th to see Catherine’s answers!

Still thirsty for more? Check out Stephenie Meyer’s webpage (www.stepheniemeyer.com) on Friday for another exclusive image from Twilight: Director’s Notebook

TY to Twi-crack for the heads up on this one. Taylor Lautner is going to be on an episode of BlogTalk Radio as part of Walmart’s DVD campaign.

You can find full details on the show which including call in times, call in number, etc. is taking place on March 9th here.

As for what Wallmart has in mind for their release parties, you can check that out here. Here’s a tidbit of what they have going on:

“Walmart plans to give fans thirsting for more Twilight a good reason to be at its 24-hour stores late Friday evening Mar. 20 as they await the midnight DVD movie release. Among store activities will be ideas and products for fans looking to host their own Twilight viewing party. And, especially for Twilight super fans, Walmart has reserved exclusive Twilight gifts for those first 50 fans in line to purchase the DVD movie at each 24-hour store.”

Starting this Thursday, March 5, Access Hollywood will be running our 5 day long “Twilight Special” of exclusive deleted scenes from “Twilight!”  And check in with our Twilight page for all the latest news, galleries and videos!  http://www.accesshollywood.com/twilight

We’re starting to feel like Twilight Singapore if the eastern branch of the Lexicon here given that half our news posts have been about them 🙂 But hey, when you do a fabulous job like they have, you really have to give credit!

Anyway the girls have just uploaded their red carpet video footage.  Now as a side note here the weather was brutal, freezing rain, sleet, and snow. These girls are from Singapore. They have two kinds of weather there: hot and hot with drenching rain. They don’t have weather below 40F never mind that they had never seen snow or sleet before! Despite all that, they kept it together and again got great footage!

You can see their complete write up here that explains the backstory behind the two videos.

We just heard from Brian from Twilight Teez. He has a deal going on Accio Con shirts,

AccioCon, a Twilight-themed fan convention, is quickly approaching.  From April 3 to April 5 in Orlando, FL, all of us Twilight fans will have an opportunity to meet up with several of the Twilight movie cast members, including Ashley Green and Kellan Lutz.  Photo Ops, autograph signings, costume contests, proms, and all kinds of other events are scheduled to take place.  It’s going to be a blast!

But it will all be for not if you don’t include your very own Official AccioCon 2009 t-shirts!  Which, as luck would have it, are completely and totally for sale over at TwilightTeez.com.  For $15.00 you can get your very own official shirt to wear during the convention.  We highly encourage that you order these very soon to ensure you get them well in time for AccioCon 2009.

This also seems as good a time as any to show off some of our new designs in our Cafepress shop.

Bella and Edward has an interview with Solomon Trimble up. It’s another great insight into this rising actor. A bunch of people have emailed us since our own interview with Solomon took place asking us what can they do to encourage that Summit uses Solomon in the New Moon movie. Well, since we don’t control casting there is nothing that the Lexicon can do. However, if you feel strongly on the Sam casting issue one way of the other, you can always write to Summit. Here is their address (readily viewable on their website).

Summit Entertainment, LLC
1630 Stewart Street, Suite 120
Santa Monica, California 90404
Atten: New Moon Casting: Solomon Trimble

Just when you thought Twilight Singapore was done with their coverage, they are now up to the the fan meet up. For all of you following the Kristen fashion (because seriously it’s the only way to know which event is which) this is where Kristen switches to jeans, a white tee shirt and really comfy converse high tops after Kristen, Rob, and Taylor were practically drowned and frozen on the red carpet. We’re amazed they had any energy at all at this point, and that they weren’t cranky as hell.

You really need to read the full account over at Twilight Singapore to get the full play-by-play effect with AMAZING pictures that illustrate each moment. The segment had us laughing. Like a lot of their coverage, they seem to have captured the Kristen Stewart we met on set. By that we mean someone who is a little shy, reflective, better one-on-one, and who has a sense of humor when she realizes that you are laughing with her and not at her. This one moment below really stuck out.

Hehehe… Kristen and Robert looks pretty embarrassed here. Well, you guys can imagine what the question was…..check out how everyone is smiling. a nervous Japanese fan asked (you can hear her sigh in the video) Kristen how it felt like kissing Robert. And Kristen asked back, ‘How did you think it felt?’ The fan replied something which I couldn’t hear. Then Kristen said,” SOO much better!!”. WOOOOoooOOOO!! The whole hall crowed and laughed! And Robert’s facial reaction was like, “Oh?” Haha! You guys HAVE TO WATCH the video because I cannot described it! Awesome answer Kristen!!

We think we can safely speak for the fandom when we say, “We can’t wait for the video on this one!”

The girls from Twilight Singapore are back home after their Japan adventure. If you loved their coverage, make sure you drop by Twilight Singapore and let them know!
