IGN’s set report

IGN has a set report up about the Twilight movie.

EDIT: Of course it helps if I actually include the link when I post.

Mike Welch Speaks!

Mike Welch, Mike Newton in the Twilight movie, gave the Twilight Lexicon an interview.  Here are some highlights:

"Originally I auditioned for Edward. Ha! As soon as I read the description I knew it wasn’t for me. Although I appreciate my representatives thinking I could pull off, “hauntingly beautiful; the most unbelievably good looking creature the world has ever seen,” honestly, come on."

"I think he’s a cool guy. He’s finding himself, he’s working it out. I think he represents the high school experience for a lot of kids."

"The reception has been overwhelmingly gracious and quite frankly, freaking awesome. I’ve had a lot of fun with the online community."

Thanks to Mike for thanking the time out to give us this interview, and thank you to Cocoa for acting as our interviewer.

Teddy Bear Project

The staff over a Kellmett has come up with a great charity project.

As you know us girls over here at kellmett-happens seem to be fond of projects,  we had started the CANDY FOR KELLAN campaign a few weeks back but we decided after I myself talked to him,  that he was just getting way too much candy and it would end up going to waste so we set out on finding a new project and we finally did it.
 
We are proud to announce  the KELLMETT’S BIG BEAR HUG Project,  we will be collecting teddy bears to send off to the LA CHILDRENS HOSPITAL in Kellan’s name,  we really want this to get big, Kellan and TWILIGHT make a lot of us smile every day,  why not share those smiles with kids in need?
 
Anyway the information and banners and stuff can be found on our LiveJournal.

COUNTDOWN TO THE HOST!!!!

There’s a great teaser up at the official The Host site, not to mention some really cool linking banner, and icons!

Don’t forget about the 30 minutes of exclusive, in-depth Stephenie Meyer’s video from our friends at Borders.

Also, we have a hot tip that you may want to get this coming week’s issue of Time magazine. You won’t be disappointed! While you are at it, remember to vote for Stephenie in the Time poll.

TV Coverage of The Twilight Movie

The local Portland Fox affiliate has a story up about weather affecting the movie shoot and a video.  

EDITED: There’s also some additional raw footage here.

Thanks to Sara from the station for the heads up.

The Movie Fanatic Interviews Major Twilight Sites

The Movie Fanatic also continues their Twilight Series coverage. The interviewed the admins from His Golden Eyes, Twilight Moms, a fan, and Alphie and me.

It’s great to see a site caring enough to get more than just a scratch the surface story!

The Movie Fanatic site has also done a feature on actors making waves, and of no surprise to Twilight fans, Rob Pattinson is listed among them.

Edited: I think we may have just killed tMF’s server.  Sorry Jed!

MSN Articles

MSN, who hopefully judging by the fan commentary, no doubt realizes that Stephenie’s last name is Meyer and not Miller, has posted some additional Twilight movie items.

Thanks to numerous people for emailing in.

Mike Welch Updates his MySpace Blog

Mr. Twi-hard himself, Mike Welch, has updated his MySpace blog.

We look forward to other goodies from Mike in the near future!

A Twilight Lexicon and Borders Exclusive


We recently announced that the Twilight Lexicon had entered into a partnership with Borders. First Borders brought you midnight release parties. Next, they wanted to know what you wanted to see happen at those parties. Now…drum roll please…

Borders has allowed The Twilight Lexicon to debut almost 30 minutes of 4 exclusive video interview segments with Stephenie Meyer. Set against the backdrop of the Arizona desert, Stephenie talks about The Host (mild spoilers), what it means to be human, her fans, the upcoming Twilight movie, and Breaking Dawn.  These videos have been exclusively given to the Lexicon.  We welcome any other website to link to this post. 

Thanks again to Borders for allowing The Twilight Lexicon to debut this footage which will later be distributed to Borders members. We can’t wait to see what other things Borders has in store for us in the months to come.

You can discuss the video on our message boards here.

Also don’t forget to check out great sites started by Lexiconers  The Host Index and The Host Library.

Because I couldn’t resist…

Because the other mods who are in Portland sent me photos, called me several times, and are having fun without me (sadly I can’t get the time off from work) I decided to make a little video of their escapades so far. They may regret having sent the person known for making April Fools videos their photos.

In order of appearance: Alphie (video cam), Cocoa (on phone), Ambereyes (behind computer)
