Empire Magazine New Moon Feature

October 2, 2009

New Moon is in this month’s Empire magazine:

“You’ve got the werewolves coming in,” said Weitz, “and the effects are going to be great on that part of the movie. Also, there’s more fighting and that should appeal to the boys. There is also a male character, Jacob, who is inherently a more viable character for most boys because he’s like an ordinary guy. He works on cars, whereas Edward is a perfect man, and maybe he only appeals to perfect men. That makes the demographic rather small! So there’s more of a way into this one – we do hope to up the male demographic!”

See the rest on Empire.

Kristen Stewart Interview Magazine

October 1, 2009

Interview Magazine caught up with Kristen Stewart for their 40th anniversary issue. The interviewer was Dennis Hopper…yes, THAT, Dennis Hopper! Dennis’ daughter is a big Kristen fan and the interview starts out with the phone converstion and then gets into bigger topics.

“HOPPER: You can’t take walks?

STEWART: I’d like to take more walks after work, instead of having to come back to my hotel room and not leave. So it can be boring. I’ve been working as an actress since I was very young, and I know a lot of people who are actors who don’t have to deal with having a persona . . . You know, if you look up the word persona, it isn’t even real. The whole meaning of the word is that it’s made up, and it’s like I didn’t even get to make up my own. It can be annoying. But I have a really strong feeling that this is going to go away, that this is the most intense it’s going to get—and could get—and that it’s fleeting. So in a few years, I will hopefully become more like the people I want to become like.

HOPPER: Does it bother you to see yourself in the tabloids?

STEWART: There’s nothing you can do about it, to be honest. I don’t leave my hotel room—literally, I don’t. I don’t talk to anybody about my personal life, and maybe that perpetuates it, too. But it’s really important to own what you want to own and keep it to yourself. That said, the only way for me not to have somebody know where I went the night before is if I didn’t go out at all. So that’s what I’m trading. It depends what mood I’m in. Some nights, I think, “You know what? I don’t care. I’m just going to do what I want to do.” Then the next day I think, “Ugh.Now everyone thinks I’m going out to get the attention.” But it’s like, no, I actually, for a second, thought that maybe I could be like a normal person.”

Welcome to Twitter Chaske Spencer

October 1, 2009

We just verified with Chaske’s management that this account is real.

http://twitter.com/THEREALCHASKE

TY to the Irish Twilight Sisters for digging it up in the first place.

Also, despite some Twilight stars (yep stars get fooled too) following a Taylor Lautner and a fake Rob account. It isn’t real. The fake Taylor account is chatting with a fake Dan Radcliffe account about their plans to see the next Harry Potter movie together.

Taylor is high profile enough (as are Rob, and Kristen) that any account that any of them had would be verified by Twitter in mere days of creation (Ashley Greene’s account took 3 days.) Plus, if their accounts were real, Mr. Twitter god himself-Peter Facinelli- would have mentioned it since he knows the three of them rather well.

Twilight Make-Up Artist Reveals Her Technique

October 1, 2009

The Beauty Blogging Junkie has an interview with Robin Matthews, who has worked with Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning on both the Twilight and Runaways movies.

“BBJ: What appealed to you most about working on the set of New Moon?

RM: We got to shoot part of New Moon in Italy, so that was a total trip. I wish I were back there now! I am currently in Vancouver shooting The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, and two days prior to coming here, I wrapped The Runaways with Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning. By the way, those two were unbelievable; completely playing their own instruments and singing themselves. You’ve never seen Dakota Fanning look like this before. This will be a breakthrough role for the both of them I’m sure. They were undeniably fantastic. Oh, hanging out with Joan Jett every day didn’t suck either!”

Get the rest here. TY to Kaila for the heads up!

Anya Marina: What It’s Like To Get That Call

September 30, 2009

Anya Marina tells Chop Shop what it’s like to realize you’re being considered for and then getting on the New Moon soundtrack. Anya’s   ‘Satellite Heart.’ debuted earlier this week exclusively through MySpace, and you can listen to it at www.myspace.com/anyamarina. It’s currently available on ITunes when you preorder the soundtrack.

“…I heard all sorts of my favorite bands were being considered for the soundtrack (Thom Yorke, Death Cab, Grizzly Bear, etc). In fact, on the day of my own private screening, as I walked in, The Killers were making their way out.

oh.

em.

gee.

Suffice it to say, the movie was great and I got really inspired to adapt a new song I’d been working on to suit Bella and Edward and their whole drama. I got together with my friend, producer [and mixer on Slow & Steady…] Ken Andrews, and we recorded a pretty mean version of a new song called “Satellite Heart.””

Get the rest on Chopshop Via TA

You can now preorder the soundtrack and get some great bonus material as well. [Read more…]

Wolfpack Wednesday: Week Three

September 30, 2009

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. We Tweeted both on Pel’s account and the main Lexicon account August 28-30.

The last convention we attended in New Jersey had Chaske Spencer, Alex Meraz, 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 several glossy pictures of themselves. In all, we left that convention with five individual autographed 8X10 glossy photos. And the good news is that we want to repay you all for following our Tweets by giving these photos away.

Every Wednesday over the next four weeks we will post a trivia question pertaining to information that we gave on twitter during the convention while the wolf pack was on stage. Remember that they were on stage TWICE, so we have two hours worth of twitter information to pull from. 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.

The we forgot to post last week’s winner. No wonder she didn’t email in with her address…DUH…we forgot to tell her who she was! Last week’s winner of a signed Alex Meraz photo is #14 on this thread Nikki.

Now for this week’s question: “What card game and what strategy board game did Chaske Spencer say were his favorites?” We will close this contest at 11:59pm est. The winner picked at random from the correct answers gets an autographed Chaske photo.
