Anna Kendrick & Kiowa Gordon Go Horror

Anna Kendrick has had an interesting acting career that ranges from being the second youngest person ever to be Tony nominated to Twilight to upcoming projects. One that includes George Clooney.  However, you guessed it. Anna has also done the “horror thing”.

Anna was in the little known TV show, Fear Itself. It was a show that aired on NBC if you’re not familiar with it,  but FEARnet got exclusively 5 episodes that were never aired. FEARnet will exclusively be airing the episodes online for free for viewers on September 2nd.

Kiowa Gordon, who plays Embry, is going to be filming a horror movie in May called Into the Darkness.

The movie’s official MySpace page describes it as, “A group of friends descend upon a remote wilderness area to camp and party reuniting after a year apart. Their decision to embark on a short exploration of an unknown cave system turns into a horrific struggle for survival. Can they find the light before the darkness finds them?”

The film should hit the big screen in March 2011. You can get further details on The Examiner.

MTV: Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart’s New Moon Chemistry

MTV had the opportunity to interview Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart on how the dynamic of their relationship changes in New Moon.

MTV: Kristen, in your opinion, how is the relationship between Bella and Jacob in “New Moon” different than the one between Edward and Bella in “Twilight”?

Kristen Stewart: It’s such a different relationship; it’s like entirely original.

MTV: It seems much more playful.

Stewart: Yeah, exactly. They’re light; they actually have fun with each other. Edward and Bella are always so strange, you know?

Taylor Lautner: It’s always so tense.

Stewart: And only he can bring her out of that rut. Like, she literally is going to die; she’s going to stop eating and be done. And the only thing that brings her out of it is this lightness [Jacob] brings.

Based on the TokyoPop comic book, the movie is set in a turbulent time period, ravaged by wars between vampires and humans.

New Shooting Problem: The Plane, The Plane!

Since they are shooting Eclipse in the summer and not in the winter, it looks like David Slade has not, as of yet, had to contend with the weather issues that his predecessors did. You know, things like unexpected downpours, gale force winds, and hail…all on the same day.

Have no fear, he’s discovering another local Vancouver problem: air traffic. We witnessed this ourslef during our set visit where Chris Weitz would set up a shot and then they’d have to wait for the planes.

David recently tweeted the following:

Shot with Rob and Kristen today, both gave great performances. Lots of frustrating noisy planes overhead but beautiful scene regardless.”

Wrapped first week, probably most challenging week of our shoot. Last night Xavier Samuels delivered as astonish power performance, all good.”

Don’t worry about David. He’s found some time to relax. He attended a Dead Weather (if that name isn’t ironic in light of where he’s shootin gwe don’t know what is) concert.
