We Want Your Eclipse Questions

eclipsebill
Once again we are going to be reporting from the red carpet. We are going to be partnered with Kallie from Twilight Series Theories and Lori (Alphie) will be representing the Lexicon. We want fan input on what questions we should ask the actors.

Here are the links where we are collecting your answers. We divided them into categories of how people are likely to come down the carpet to make it easier on our organization:

  • Ask Kristen Stewart
  • Ask Robert Pattinson
  • Ask Taylor Lautner
  • Ask Bryce and Xavier
  • Ask the Cullens
  • Ask the Humans
  • Ask the Volturi
  • Ask the Wolfpack
  • Jimmy Fallon: Robert Pattinson in Bothered by World Cup

    Jimmy Fallon is back in his tree again spoofing Robert Pattinson. This time World Cup is the target.

    Volvo Launches Lost In Forks

    This just in from Volvo:

    Choose your path and win Edward’s Volvo.

    Volvo has launched a brand new online contest to tie-in with the new Twilight Saga: Eclipse movie. And this time it takes you to Forks!

    The objective of the game is to reach the Cullen House in the shortest number of forks in the road. Everyone who achieves this will be invited to enter a final round, where they’ll play for the chance to win a Volvo XC60 just like Edward’s in Eclipse.

    The contest opens today at 10:00am pacific time.

    Eclipse Live Streaming Update: 6 Options

    Here’s a rundown of exactly which outlets are livestreaming the Eclipse red carpet! We also want to give a MAJOR SHOUT OUT AND CONGRATS to our friend Kimmy from His Golden Eyes who landed a gig as the co-MTV livestreaming correspondent with Josh Horowitz! Josh has been MTV’s major Twilight correspondent for the last 9 months or so following in the footsteps of former MTV correspondent Larry Carroll.

    For those of you who don’t know Kimmy, she just turned 18 and just graduated high school. She’s been running one of the major Twilight websites since she was 15, very impressive! She and Josh, in our opinion, are totally going to rock it! Don’t expect the typical, boring, barely know the movie questions from Kimmy and Josh.  Kudos to MTV for getting a co-correspondent with a proven track record in the Twilight universe.

    Option 1:

    Myspace
    Host: Quddus, Taryn Southern, and Shira Lazar

    Info: MySpace will host a live stream of Summit Entertainment’s The Twilight Saga: Eclipse red carpet arrivals at the premiere on Thursday, June 24th at www.myspace.com/twilight. Moviegoers across the globe will be able to experience the red carpet first-hand and in real-time. Viewers will also be able to take part by posting comments or questions to The Twilight Sage: Eclipse official MySpace page that may then be presented to the celebrities during the broadcast. The red carpet arrivals will stream live from the Los Angeles Film Festival beginning at 5:30 PM PT.

It doesn’t get much better than this … uh unless of course we figure out a way to make our telecast 3-D. Wishful thinking!

    About.Com Interviews Ashley Greene for Eclipse

    ashleyjacksoneclipseYou always get a better interview when the person doing the interview knows the material and has interviewed the person before. That’s what makes this interview with Ashley better than most.

    “Now that you’ve finished the third film of the Twilight series, is being a part of this franchise everything you expected it to be?

    Ashley Greene: “I don’t think I expected it to be this. It certainly hasn’t let me down in any way, but I don’t think any of us had any idea of the scale of what it would become and the phenomenon that it’s become. I don’t think you can really conjure that up in your head because when was the last time you have seen something like this happen?”

    It hasn’t – not even with the cast of Harry Potter. Are you hounded all the time?

    Ashley Greene: “Yes, there’s always paparazzi. I live in LA so I’m sure…I think if I lived in New York maybe, or Florida, but LA there are so many paparazzi it’s crazy. It isn’t too awful until it gets close to release dates. That’s when it gets crazy.”

    Has it changed your perspective on acting in general, being part of a franchise like this?

    Ashley Greene: “Not really. I love it just as much as the day I started. There isn’t anything to compare it with because I think in Hollywood, or in this profession, there’s really no plan. You’re never going to walk down the same road as somebody else, so I never had any kind of thought of how it would happen. I definitely know I’m lucky, and I definitely know it doesn’t happen for a lot of people. I’m just enjoying it right now. It’s opened up a ton of doors and I’m jumping at the opportunity and working like a maniac.”

    WWD: Julia Jones, A Model Werewolf

    julia-jonesWWDheadshotWomen’s Wear Daily interviews former model and rising actress Julia Jones about her role as Leah in Eclipse:

    “Joining the cast of the third installment of “Twilight,” one of the highest-grossing movie franchises of all time, would seem to be like jumping into a hyper-speed version of double Dutch — while wearing roller skates. The action figures, the T-shirts, the ubiquitous paparazzi, the equally ubiquitous (and even more aggressive) Twihards and the rest of the hoopla surrounding the vampire trilogy‚ how could it not make a newcomer anxious?

    But none of this seems to faze Julia Jones, one of the new faces in “Twilight: Eclipse,” which hits theaters June 30. “I was just focused on working on the character,” Jones says. “I kind of got lost in that. The size of the franchise is just hitting me now.”
