Good Luck Kristen Stewart

January 14, 2010

Kristen StewartKristen Stewart is having an exciting week.

First she is nominated for a BAFTA rising star award, which is quite a big deal since Kristen is not a native of the UK. In the past winners usually have a strong UK connection, like last year’s winner of Dr. Who fame, Noel Clark or 2006 winner James McAvoy. But best wishes to Kristen.

It was also announced today that The Runaways, which will have it’s debut at Sundance and is currently generating a huge buzz on the indie film circuit, will go into wide release on March 19.

This is also the weekend that the New Moon DVD is highly likely (based upon last year’s DVD release date and information on Amazon and Blockbuster) to be out; however, nothing official on that from Summit.

Anna Kendrick: The Midas Touch

January 14, 2010

The national has a feature on Anna Kendrick and her work in the Twilight Saga movies, Up In The Air, and her early Broadway career. When asked about the Twilight fans and their crazy reputation, Anna said:

“There are a lot more people around that don’t have anything to do with the film,” she says. “The Twilight fans that showed up – they might be very loud at premieres, but on set they are very respectful and the second cameras start rolling they are really quiet and co-operative. It’s interesting. You have to do that theatre thing where you forget that people are there. You don’t get that sense that they are there to be critical, they’re there to be supportive.”

Michael Sheen Interviews Ashley Greene

January 13, 2010

Michael Sheen who co-stars with Ashley in the upcoming movie Apparition interviews Ashley in the aptly named Interview Magazine.

“In the Twilight movies, Ashley Greene plays the saga’s resident good-girl vampire, Alice Cullen—all pixie haircut and motherly touch, not a hint of bloodlust in her earnest high-school demeanor. Greene’s career—and her life—has changed dramatically since she was cast in the blockbuster series. For one thing, teenage girls shake uncontrollably and burst into tears when they see her on the street. For another, it was just a couple of years ago that the 22-year-old Greene was struggling to land guest spots with no dialogue, and almost had to leave Los Angeles and return to her hometown of Jacksonville, Florida, where she’d originally planned to study psychology and law. But now, she’s booking movies faster than she can make them—including her first big lead, in the upcoming supernatural thriller, The Apparition. Michael Sheen, Greene’s co-star in Twilight and New Moon, recently caught up with the actress.”

Twilight: Put on Your Spidey Senses

January 13, 2010

When word hit the street that Toby McGuire wouldn’t be reprising his role as our building swinging hero, speculation started as to who his replacement would be.  Rumor also has it that the next movie is the hugely popular franchise will focus on Peter Parker’s teen years. The UK’s Mirror mentioned Robert Pattinson, although that seems a longshot to us. Rob’s great but isn’t quite the average-looking, boy next-door,pseudo- geek the role call s for.  MTV’s Hollywood Crush is suggesting that Michael Welch is closer to the character.

What do you think? Is there hope for Twilight to meet Spiderman?

The Onion Spoofs Twilight

January 13, 2010

Thanks to Terri and Emily for pointing this out to us.

According to the Onion (well known for its biting sarcasm, satire, and humor):

“Acknowledging years of marital dissatisfaction and a noticeable increase in her vampire husband’s weight, 43-year-old Sara Pastor told reporters Thursday that she often seeks solace by losing herself in the escapist fantasy of the Twilight novels.The Pastors settle in for what has become a typical Friday night together.

The New Orleans resident said it’s been ages since her husband, 834-year-old Andrei Pastor, bought her flowers, took her dancing, or appeared at her second-story window and charmed her into allowing him inside. According to Sara, she purchased the first book in Stephenie Meyer’s young-adult vampire romance series 14 months ago, while waiting for her husband to pick her up from the airport, and has taken refuge in the novels ever since….”

See You in Seattle and Candace Charee Needs You!

January 13, 2010

The Creation Entertainment Official Twilight Convention that is being held this weekend in Seattle is shaping up to be quite the event. Currently slated there are appearances by Peter Facinelli, Chaske Spencer, Alex Meraz, Bronson Pelletier, Kiowa Gordon, Dan Cudmore, and Charlie Bewley.

Pel will be making the Lexicon’s three presentations, and she’s also be joining Twilight Facebook’s Lauren on a panel. Another newcomer to the official convention this weekend is Lana Veenker. If you have acting aspirations, this is one panel you DON’T want to miss.  Lana (who helped to cast Twilight) will be talking about the realities of the film business and how you can get involved without getting ripped off!

Now if you are going, Friday night’s concert entertainer is Candace Charee, and she needs some volunteers to be ” back up dancers for my show lol just like 2-4 people on stage being silly and acting like a part of my show.” Candace is a great singer with a fun personality, so if you are game you can contact her at [email protected]  or via her MySpace (which, check it out anyway because it gives you a sampling of her music).

Forks Police Chief Loses Job

January 13, 2010

Forks Chief of Police for the last decade, Mike Powell has lost his job according to the Forks Forum. Newly elected mayor, Bryon Monohon, dismissed Powell.  Monohon, who just took office on January 1, 2010  issued the official statement, “I have determined that there is a need for new leadership in the Forks Police Department. As a result, and pursuant to FMC 2.30.010, I have dismissed Mike Powell from the position of Chief of Police for the City of Forks…In the days ahead I will be further assessing the direction and structure of the Forks Police Department.  In addition, I will be developing my expectations for the new chief of police in relationship to the operations of the Forks Police Department.”

Many Twilight fans have encountered Powell over the years and his afflable nature regarding the Twilight Saga and Charlie comparisons. He routinely would pose for picture and “arrest’ fans when asked time permitting. We met Mike last Summer while attending the Summer School in Forks Symposium and captured this video of him talking about how Twilight has impacted his life.

Twilighters Mobilizing For Hatian Disaster Relief

January 13, 2010

Actors such as Chaske Spencer have tweeted about donating money is as simple as sending a text message.

The Thinking of Rob Blog is currently leading the charge. They have an excellent detailing of what is needed and how you can help. From our experience in the Harry Potter Fandom, it’s a great thing when sites can come together and raise money for a humanitarian cause. The Harry Potter fandom did this for both the Boxing Day Tsunami and Hurricane Katrina.  Tens of thousands of dollars were raised.

Please vistit that Thinking of Rob blog and help anyway you can. The images coming out of Haiti are gruesome to say the least.

What’s even more crucial is that the need is going to be there months from now.   We are going to be putting together a Twilight themed basket to auction off for this cause, proceeds to the Red Cross. Details will follow next week.

EDITED: One of our regular readers works with Doctors Without Borders. This organization is already onsite and providing aid.
