LA Times: The Family That Slays Together Stays Together
April 30, 2010
The LA Times has a piece on the Cullen family’s role in Eclipse. More exciting they are featuring the elusive Liz Reaser who plays Esme!
“The whole family is in a vulnerable position because of the love we have for Bella,” said Elizabeth Reaser, who plays matriarch Esme Cullen. “If she’s not OK, we’re not OK…Esme is still a vampire. She still wants to kill people all day long. It was interesting to get in touch with the vampire side of her in ways that haven’t really been explored. Her family is in danger and that brings out the mama bear in her.”
People Magazine: Twilight Stars Beautiful Without Makeup
April 30, 2010
Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Ashley Greene are all in the legendary People Magazine Most Beautiful issue. Doing something that most actresses wouldn’t ever do, Ashley Greene is featured with NO MAKEUP. She tells PEOPLE, “My favorite feature is probably my eyes. My mom is always saying that you smile with your eyes, and if you look at someone and you’re speaking, you’re really engaging. When I’m acting, they’re kind of a big part of what I do.”

It’s Volturi Venerdì: AKA Volturi Friday
April 30, 2010
Instead of Wolfpack Wednesday, we are doing another feature called Volturi Venerdì which means Volturi Friday. To kick it off we are going to give away a signed photo of Demetri himself, Charlie Bewley. (Photo via Eyebehold)
We’ve met Charlie at several Creation Entertainment Official Twilight Tour stops and he’s very entertaining. He’s actually taken to sending us direct messages on Twitter when he’s not at a convention where he, in a good natured way, heckles Dan Cudmore on stage during his Q & A.
So from the cool UK accent, to the sense of humor, to the sort of overgrown cheeky schoolboy, we’ve fallen under Charlie’s spell. Tell us in the comments what you love about Charlie and we’ll pick a random winner at midnight est tonight.
Eclipse Reshoots Day 2
April 30, 2010
It’s a bit on the boring side since everything was inside a studio as Mandy reports.
“There isn’t much to report on today. It was all in studio. As I’ve mentioned n the past studio is great for the cast and crew because there is no public access. The downside of this for fans is no photos, information, etc.
Here is what I do know:
Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner started at 5am and wrapped at just after 9pm. Kristen Stewart left first, Taylor shortly after. It was a long day and it didn’t go as scheduled. It is not a studio they used before for either New Moon or Eclipse. Though Robert Pattinson was on set today he did not film as scheduled(photo of rob leaving the bar studio). Instead he was seen in the late afternoon at a bar on Commercial drive with good friend Sam Bradley having a bite to eat and a few beers.”
Check out the rest of the story on Mandy’s blog.

LA Times: What Bill Condon Brings to Twilight
April 29, 2010
The LA Times has a piece examening why Bill Condon is a good choice for Breaking Dawn.
“In making the choice, Summit, which has gone for a different type of director for each film in the franchise, clearly wanted someone with more Oscar chops (Condon’s won one and been nominated for a second). That’s both because the “Breaking Dawn” material is a little more complicated than the previous books and because with the franchise already an unstoppable juggernaut, they can afford to take a risk, at least a small one.
So what kind of teen-vampire fable will the man responsible for “Dreamgirls,” “Gods & Monsters” and “Kinsey” make? None of his previous directing credits are obvious analogues to this movie (though the initial frenzy over him as a candidate was a little baffling; good filmmakers reinvent themselves all the time. And it’s nothing compared to Rob Marshall, another man known for musicals, taking on “Pirates of the Caribbean 4″).”
