A Twilight Saga Fansite
The Forks Forum is reporting that over 1,200 fans visited Forks and LaPush this past weekend to celebrate Bella’s Birthday in the little city that the Twilight series has made famous.
They also have news that the filmmakers from “Twilight in Forks” presented Kevin Rupprecht, the principal of Forks High School, with a donationto the school. They also gave a sneak peak of their film which will be out in stores Oct. 15.
Hub Productions Twilight Tour will be hitting Australia with guests Kellan Lutz, Charlie Bewley, Chaske Spencer, Tinsel Korey, and Mike Welch.

For more information about John, visit his website.
I don’t know about you, but here at the Lex we have totally been enjoying reading all the tweets from The Twilight Saga: Eclispe director David Slade. His most recent tweet should be exciting for Team Jacob fans.
Yesterday Taylor had to carry Kristen for several hours, he held it together – hope he can lift his arms today. Rain dumped on us all day.
RadarOnline has an interview with Edi Gathegi about how scary his character will be in The Twilight Saga: New Moon.
Radar: How scary is your scene?
Gathegi: Let’s just put it this way. I told Stephenie Meyer that my goal would be to scare every 14 year-old girl, and she looked at me and said “Edi, you’re so sweet and you have such a little baby face, no one is going to be scared of you at all.” Then she saw the movie and the dailies said, “OK Edi, you scared me!” And I said “That means a lot coming from you,” especially since she told me I wasn’t even going to be able to BE scary!

As each movie chain in various area of the USA and the world put their tickets for New Moon online, one thing happens…you guessed it…they sell out.
According to the LA Times:
“Online ticket sellers MovieTickets and Fandango report that the follow-up to last year’s hit from Summit Entertainment, which sold $191.5 million worth of tickets in the U.S. and Canada, is selling out screenings earlier than any other movie to date.
“New Moon” has sold out 50 showtimes of nearly 22,000 offered on Fandango and 13 showtimes of 2,912 offered on MovieTickets. Most of the sold-out shows are at or around midnight Nov. 20, when the movie debuts.”
This will be interesting to see if New Moon breaks the total set by Twilight. Conventional wisdom in Hollywood would suggest that sequels don’t do as well as originals. There’s one thing we’ve learned in three years of covering Twilight—forget conventional wisdom, it almost never applies here!
MTV is reporting that the songs on the New Moon soundtrack will be announced on Friday.
Alexandra Patsavas talked to the New York Times about the entire Twilight Saga soundtrack process and her experience in this unique phenomena:
“Ms. Patsavas, known for her work on television shows like “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Gossip Girl,” said she was confident that the “New Moon” soundtrack would include Thom Yorke, Bon Iver and Band of Skulls. Death Cab for Cutie’s “Meet Me on the Equinox,” the first single, had its premiere on MTV.com on Sunday, as part of a “Twilight” promotional blitz surrounding MTV’s Video Music Awards.”
Get the rest on the New York Times.
The lucky winner in our first Wolfpack Wednesday giveaway is Christine ( the 49th poster chosen at random from the correct responses). Christina will be receiving an 8 X 10 signed glossy photo signed by Kiowa as her prize. Kiowa Gordon was the one doing the shadow puppets backstage at the time we mentioned.
Next Wednesday we’ll be doing another giveaway.
We’ve managed to get some of our items that we give out from time to time from being at the Creation Entertainment Official Twilight Tour stops. We are going to be at the next one which is October 2-4 in Chicago!
A lot of people have been asking us about conventions in general and what kind of vendors you might see there, so we put together a little video of the vendors who were at the recent New Jersey convention. The vendors also tend to travel the convention circuit, so you’ll see a lot of the same vendors at Fantasy Con, Eye-Con, Dragon Con, etc. Not every vendor is at every site, but you do see many of them over and over.
We had taken some pictures of the vendors at the previous convention, but the pictures didn’t come out too well and didn’t think it was fair to the vendors if their items weren’t represented well. So if someone is not here, that’s not to say that they didn’t have great stuff, but it was a technical meltdown on our part.
Stay tuned because maybe…just maybe, there are other things being planned in Nashville that weekend! (Evil grin hear…that’s all we’re allowed to say.)
ActorCast just let us know about an exciting interview that they did.
“This summer ActorCast hosted the online open call for two roles in the upcoming feature film, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. The casting director on the project, Rene Haynes, received thousands of submissions via ActorCast and she and her team viewed every audition that they received through the system. We asked Rene if she would be willing to answer a few questions from our users and she graciously accepted.
We’d like to thank Rene and her team for taking the time to answer these questions, and we’d also like to thank Summit Entertainment for allowing us to do this Q & A for our members. Renee has some invaluable advice for anyone looking to build a career in acting.”
Read Rene’s interview here on the ActorCast blog.
