MTV Australia Talks to Xavier Samuel About Eclipse
March 23, 2011
MTV Austraila caught up with Xavier Samuel and asked him about his time spent on Eclipse:
“MTV: Were you ever worried about just being known as the guy who was in ‘Twilight’?
Xavier: That never crossed my mind. I just felt really lucky to be cast in a role that wasn’t your average villain. There was a bit of complexity to this guy, but I never really felt like, I’m going to be playing vampires for the rest of my life!
MTV: Did you feel the pressure acting out such a beloved book and series?
Xavier: Well I felt great about it because when I flicked through the book I was like, where’s Riley?! (laughs) There was like one line, literally one sentence!! I was fortunate in the sense that they decided to depart from Bella’s point of view for the first time – it’s still faithful to the book but it extrapolates other dimensions in it. So there is a kind of degree of expectation and pressure to remain true to a character that is so close to so many people’s hearts. So the pressure’s on, certainly for the characters that have more of a journey. But I think they’ve done an amazing job bringing the books to life.
MTV: Is there any talk about developing Stephanie Myer’s fifth book ‘The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner’? Because you’d obviously be a big part of that…
Xavier: Well I haven’t heard any whispers, but it’s a really cool back story. I remember reading it, David Slade [director of ‘Twilight: Eclipse’] gave me the manuscript of this book, and it really sang to me, and for me it was a great source of information as well as being a great story.”

From the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, CA
NEW YORK, NY (March 22, 2011) – MTV today announced viewers will again decide the nominees for the “MTV Movie Awards.” Voting for the “2011 MTV Movie Awards” starts today, March 22nd and goes through Tuesday, April 5th. Fans can log onto MovieAwards.MTV.com to vote in 13 categories for their favorite films, superstars and movie moments to be included in the final list of nominees during the May 3rd – June 4th winner voting period. Honoring its tradition as one of the most outrageous and distinctive televised awards shows, this year’s 20th anniversary ceremony will feature the brand new category “BEST LINE FROM A MOVIE.” The 20th annual “2011 MTV Movie Awards” will air LIVE on Sunday, June 5th at 9p.m. ET/8p.m. C from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California.
“MTV’s viewers are die-hard film buffs and we love to see how they wield that dedication when voting for the ‘MTV Movie Awards,’ said Stephen Friedman, General Manager of MTV. “By putting the fans in control of the voting, the show will be less about royalty and more about magic, action and comedy.”
MTV fans once again hold the destiny of the golden popcorn awards in their hands. This year’s brand new “BEST LINE FROM A MOVIE” category will allow fans to vote on the movie catchphrases they couldn’t stop repeating. In returning categories like “BEST MOVIE,” the blockbusters “Inception” and “The Social Network” could go head-to-head with “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1” to be the fan-favorite flick of the year. In a “Movie Awards” first, Kristen Stewart might receive two nominations in the same category with “BEST KISS” nods for her smooches with Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner in “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.” Perhaps “BEST COMEDIC PERFORMANCE” will see Emma Stone’s LOL-inducing performance in “Easy A” leave comedy’s heavy hitters in the dust. At the “MTV Movie Awards,” it’s anyone’s game as all will be determined by the viewers as they vote to create this year’s list of final nominees for Hollywood’s most outrageous awards ceremony.

Don’t Forget the Kristen Stewart Birthday Covenant House Project
March 22, 2011
Just a reminder and an update about the Kristen Stewart Birthday project:
“To celebrate Kristen Stewart’s birthday on April 9th, Twilightish, PattzStewGlobal and the “Saturday Sites” (see below**) have joined together to raise money for Covenant House, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping child runaways get off the streets.
In her recent Vogue interview, Kristen said that “Her plan is to find a way to help teenage runaways get back on their feet, a subject close to her heart after her role in Welcome to the Rileys.” What better birthday present than to help fulfill Kristen’s wish?
We’ll be promoting Covenant House on our websites until April 9th, Kristen’s birthday, at which point all funds raised will be given to Covenant House in Kristen Stewart’s name.
**EXCITING UPDATE**
We have learned from Covenant House that everything we raise up to March 31st will be matched twice. That means $5.00 = $15.00, $10.00 = $30.00, $25.00 = $75.00, $100 = $300.00 etc…
In order to make sure our donations get matched we must send what we have via check or money order postmarked by the 31st. What we send at that time will be matched.
We will then continue to raise money until the original cut off date of April 9th, Kristen’s Birthday.
Once the project is completed and our final donations have been sent to Covenant House they will issue a receipt and an acknowledge letter that will include the total amount raised (including what was added from the matching gift program) by our project efforts in honor of Kristen Stewart’s Birthday.
Judi Shekoni: A Twilight Fan Before the Movies Came Out
March 22, 2011
Judi Shekoni who plays Zafrina in Breaking Dawn was just interviewed by her hometown newspaper back in Manchester, England. Judi reveals that she was a Twilight fan way before the movies came out and that she is Team Edward!
“You’re currently filming for Twilight: Breaking Dawn, playing Amazonian vampire Zafrina – were you a fan of the franchise before securing the role?
Absolutely. I read the first two books when I was on a cruise around the Bahamas with my friend Jenny. I tend not to read fiction but I got to the stage of boredom that I would have tried anything. At first, it seemed a bit weird and I remember thinking ‘I don’t understand, it’s all about kids’, but the more I read, the more hooked I was. At one point, I was like get me off this ship I need to go buy the next book. When the first film was released, me and my friends all booked tickets in advance and we just adored it.
It’s taken on element of the surreal now because just the other day I was stood in the Cullen house, looking at their book shelf thinking as if I’m here!
What has it been like working with the cast?
Everyone has been super nice, there’s an atmosphere of family. Spending time with everyone has been great, Rob (Pattinson) is such a laugh and it’s been an enjoyable experience. There’s a mix of nationalities here, and the Canadians are a lot like the Brits with their humour. Sometimes you can join a project like this and be met by a few prima-donnas, but that couldn’t be further from the truth here. All us newcomers are welcomed like we’ve been involved since the beginnings. It helps that we’re in the most beautiful hotel. It’s like a network of private mini lodges; I’ve even got my own fireplace!”

Emily Browning Clarifies Her Position on the Twilight Series
March 21, 2011
Prior to 2007 if you looked for images surrounding the Twilight Saga, you were faced with fan-made banners of Emily Browning and Henry Cavill depicted as Bella and Edward (like the one seen left). They were two actors mentioned by Stephenie Meyer in a fantasy ideal casting on her website.
Roughly two years ago, Emily Browning was quoted (and apparently misquoted) that she turned down the role after having auditioned for it. She just clarified her statement for Indie Wire as part of the PR junket for her new movie Sucker Punch.
“I chose not to audition,” Browning said about “Twilight” which was offered to her during this should-I or shouldn’t-I period of career introspection. “The author at one point stated that I would be her ideal Bella, but I chose not to audition because I was at a point in my career where I wasn’t sure I wanted to work, I definitely didn’t want to sign onto a trilogy so I didn’t audition, but there were a lot of things people said: ‘you turned it down’ no that’s not the case, ‘you were offered it and you turned it down,’ no, no, no, that’s not what happened at all. And there were battles but it was really just as simple as I don’t want to work right now so…”

Robert Pattinson: Gives Total Film Birth Scene Comment
March 21, 2011
We assume this was an off-the-cuff comment by Robert Pattinson since all the magazine is running is literally this one line. There is no sit down-interview that followed. Here is the comment:
“Twihards, rejoice. Robert Pattinson tells Total Film that the scene where his character performs a caesarean (sic)with his teeth on wife, Bella (Kristen Stewart), has been filmed for the final part of the Twilight franchise, Breaking Dawn.
“Yeah, I’ve done it,” RPattz laughed, “I’ve chewed it, spat it out!”
Total Film is generally a pretty reliable entertainment source. So what do you think? Off-hand comment by Rob as he went for coffee.
