Ultimate fans of Twilight have a reason to howl with excitement: a sneak peek at The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Walmart announced today it will be the only retailer to carry The Twilight Saga: New Moon Ultimate Fan Edition on standard DVD, and Blu-ray, with never-before-seen footage from the upcoming The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Walmart also will feature “Twilight Saga Shops” in stores – a dedicated shopping experience for Twilight fans to bite into a variety of Twilight­-themed clothing, jewelry, and merchandise, including new items to show their wolf- or vampire-fan pride.

Fans can pre-order The Twilight Saga: New Moon Ultimate Fan Edition on DVD or Blu-ray, as well as the national two-disc Special Edition DVD or Special Edition Blu-ray, today at Walmart.com. With the new movie and 50 minutes of extra footage and interviews, The Twilight Saga: New Moon Ultimate Fan Edition also contains an exclusive, 7-minute sneak peek of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. It begins with an exciting behind-the-scenes look at the production of the newest film. New interviews with stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, as well as with series-creator Stephenie Meyer, are integrated with revealing on-the-set footage of some of the key scenes and sets from the upcoming movie. This first-look at The Twilight Saga: Eclipse concludes with the world premiere of an actual scene from the upcoming film.

With the movie release scheduled for March 20, 12:01 am, fans can be among the first to own the DVD, joining friends nationwide at midnight release events in more than 2,600 24-hour Walmart stores. The midnight release last year of the first Twilight movie brought hundreds of thousands of fans together online and in stores, becoming the most pre-ordered movie and most successful DVD movie release event in Walmart history.

Gary Marshall On Taylor Lautner

February 9, 2010

The legendary Hollywood director talked about his experiences working with Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner.  Gary is famous for his Bronx accent, tongue-in-cheek humor, and being the starting point of many actors’ careers. Gary was publicly recognized at the Valentine’s Day premiere by Anne Hathaway for starting her career.

“What’s the first thing Taylor Lautner and Taylor Swift had to do when they started shooting Valentine’s Day?

Lock lips!

“I always start with the kissing scenes,” director Garry Marshall told me at last night’s Hollywood premiere of the star-studded romantic comedy. “The first thing they did was kiss.”

So how did it go?

“The first three were nice,” Marshall said. “By the fourth I think they started going together. I don’t know what the hell happened, but somewhere in the fifth or sixth take they were dating.”

Check out details on a possible sequel and how Taylor’s acrobatics impressed Gary Marshall.

Peter Facinelli Starts Twihards For Charity

February 9, 2010

twihards_4_charityAmanda Bell, the Twilight Examiner, has the full story on how Peter Facinelli is providing ways for members of the fandom to give back in ongoing efforts. This is certainly, in our opinion, a huge plus because since Peter is backing it with his name and reputation on the line, you know that money is destined for the right places!  There are a lot of scams out there.  It seems to us that this is a great way to have piece of mind that your money is getting to people who need it, and not paying for new wallpaper in someone’s office. The Lexicon staff is personally looking forward to working with Peter and 211me on this project as it continues to develop.

“So, what Rob DeFranco and 211me have decided to do, with the help and support of Twilight star Peter Facinelli, is create a place where Twilight fans can go to share in the joy of giving.

“What Rob is trying to do and what I support is this website and uniting the Twihards for a common goal,” says Peter Facinelli. “The one thing that binds Twilight fans is the franchise and the books, and I think that if we band together and have those Twihards focus their energy on things other than the books, I think great things can happen because they’re so dedicated and so passionate.”

The website is www.Twihards4Charity.com, and it has just launched this weekend.”

Eclipse Stills Go Viral

February 9, 2010

Yesterday evening two never before seen Eclipse stills were posted online and they went viral shortly thereafter. They seem to have been taken the same day as the previously released Eclipse photo that ran in People magazine a few months back(seen below). We are linking rather than posting the new images in case you are trying to stay spoiler free, but given that they are everywhere, and that major media is now doing stories on the leak, you probably won’t be able to stay spoiler free.

Eclipse People Image

It’s not quite the the leak of X-Men Wolverine proportions, but Summit is starting to show less humor about its intellectual property being used in that as of today there are not only one but  two lawsuits that specifically are related to the Twilight Saga movies.

Hollywood Crush: Anna Kendrick’s Twilight Future

February 9, 2010

Somewhat predictably, Anna Kendrick isn’t certain that Jessica Stanley will be making any more appearances in Twilight movies after Eclipse. She recently spoke to MTV’s Hollywood Crush.

“”I honestly feel like Jessica is one of those characters that if she wasn’t in the movie, nobody would miss her,” she said. “At the same time, I feel a certain affection for the films so if they ask me, I would love to. I don’t have my fingers crossed either way.”

She added, “I’ve been really lucky to not be defined completely by that series.”

And yet, in spite of all that, I remember being at Comic-Con in 2008 when “Twilight” first debuted the entire cast and, despite the fact she was not on the panel, hearing a buzz around the exhibit hall floor that the girl who played Jessica was near the “Twilight” booth. Though Anna was not well known by mainstream audiences before “Twilight” and “Up in the Air,” she was at least beloved by “Twi”-hards for just being a part of the film.”

Taylor Lautner at the Valentine’s Day Premiere

February 9, 2010

Access Hollywood caught up with Taylor on the red carpet and asked him about turning 18 and Breaking Dawn:

“What do you have planned for you 18th birthday?” Shaun asked.

“Absolutely nothing really,” Taylor told Access. “I mean, I’ll spend time with family and friends… I don’t like to do anything huge, but it is 18, so, it’s kind of a big one I guess.”

Taylor said he wouldn’t be celebrating his big day with Taylor Swift.

“I believe she’s overseas touring. It’s a bummer she couldn’t make it [to the premiere], but I’m sure everyone will enjoy watching her,” Taylor told Access.

As for “Twilight” news, Taylor explained that he and the rest of the cast are eagerly waiting to find out the details on “Breaking Dawn,” just like all the fans.”

According to the Press Association, Taylor’s presence cause quite the stir:

“Taylor Lautner easily upstaged his A-list co-stars at the Hollywood premiere of new movie Valentine’s Day.

Screams from fans of the Twilight star were deafening on the red carpet, while celebrity castmates Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Biel and Ashton Kutcher and his wife Demi Moore were largely ignored by the crowd.”
