Video: Kellan Lutz Men’s Fitness Behind the Scenes

Men’s Fitness Magazine. Here’s what the magazine had to say (consider their audience) “Most recognize him as a teeny-bopper heartthrob thanks to his turn as a vampire in The Twilight Saga, but Kellan Lutz proved that he’s no glimmering pansy during our November cover shoot. The 26-year-old, who stars next as the Greek god Poseidon in Immortals, was happy to put his neck on the line and succumb to our bizarre requests in pursuit of the perfect shot. But the photos weren’t enough to show how truly impressed we were with some of his superhuman moves. Lutz proved again that he was no mere mortal… and managed to be a good sport throughout the gritty process.”

Bill Condon Gets Into the Head of the Wolf

Bill Condon spoke with Box Office Magazine about how he created various scenes and points of view in Breaking Dawn.

Everyone has been saying for years how hard it would be to make Breaking Dawn PG-13. How did you pull it off?

The whole movie is very immersive, kind of like in the book, which is in the point of view of Bella and Jacob [Taylor Lautner]. We tried to do the same thing in the movie—there’s a whole chunk where you get inside the head of a wolf. And in terms of the birth, it was, “Let’s do it from Bella’s point of view. Let’s see whatever she can see.” Once you decide on an approach like that, it’s amazing how powerful you can be without being overly explicit. She gets glimpses of a lot of things—and hears everything—but it’s not the cutaway to teeth clawing through flesh. But you certainly know what’s happening.

Kristen Stewart Defends Stephenie Meyer

Kristen Stewart talks respect for Stephenie Meyer in an interview with Box Office magazine.(FYI bleeped language on the interview)

You know this character so well, what’s it like to take her through this huge change when she becomes a vampire herself?

It felt good. It was really weird. It was such a long process of the two movies being shot at the same time as if they’re one. You shoot, obviously, out of order and you keep going back and forth between pregnant, human and dead vampire Bella. There’s so many different versions of Bella in this, it’s insane. It was a strange experience walking on set the first time I played a scene as a vampire because I’d watched everyone around me doing it all the time. I sound so lame, but vampire Bella really is my favorite character—she’s very representative of a matriarch. She’s very intuitive on almost a psychic level and no one ever acknowledges it, which is interesting. Maybe that says something about Stephenie that she doesn’t get respect for all of her f–king amazing qualities. And that’s also one of the things that makes her appealing to me, so that’s not a strike at it—that’s something that I like about it. And I think it’s nice to see her finally get what she wants. That’s probably the best thing, even if it sounds simple and indulgent, which is why the f–king thing is criticized all the time. It’s nice to see people be happy. And she really—if I’ve played it right—is born to be where she is.

Jackson Rathbone Talks About “Aim High”

ShockYa has an interview with Jackson Rathbone about his new web series “Eight Days.”  Jackson plays a high school student with a duel life as a spy.  The series, which was shot in only eight days, will be integrated with the viewer’s Facebook accounts to set up a viewing experience that will be unique for each person.

ShockYa: So with “Aim High,” was one of the main goals was to have people interact with it when it comes to the web series? I’m referring to how the series works in regards to integrating it on Facebook.

Jackson Rathbone: Thinking about it, if you were to watch it with your friend on her computer in her account it would be different than how you’d watch it on your account because it’s being personalized to whatever Facebook page you’re on. If you’re on your Facebook page it’ll be personalized to you and your friends. My mom has Facebook, I really want to watch it with her. I want to be like ‘Mom, there you are!’ That’s funny to me, I would crack up. I think it gives it a unique viewing experience. It’s not like the whole world changes with it, it’s not like — the show doesn’t exist on that. The story is really fun, it’s cute and it’s quirky and it’s dark at times. It’s really fun to watch and the action sequences are really awesome. I really love the last action sequence in the series.
