The Movie Fanatic has just posted their third part of their ongoing Twilight series.

The folks from YouTube twilightvinculum have put up some video footage of the Port Angels scene. There’s some interesting stunt driving seen in the distance.

EDIT: Because there have been questions. This footage was taken well behind the security perimeter, did not interfere with the filming process, no laws were broken by posting it. It meets our posting regulations.  At no time were any of the people standing in the distance asked by Summit (who knew they were there), or the Portland police to leave. No one was asked not to film, or post what they obtained on the Internet. People standing behind security perimeters are always allowed this leeway. If you are invited down close and personal, you are asked not to film because that is distracting to the actors, and the footage obtained that close is one any film company reserves for itself; however, this is not the case regarding this footage. The twilight Lexicon stands 100% behind our posting of this footage and the shooters.

Many of you have noticed that some of your favorite Twilight sites have been having some problems lately. In many cases it comes down to bandwith, meaning the sites are so popular that they have exhausted the size of Internet they were contracted to have and now they need to movie to bigger digs. So a big welcome back to Twilighters, who just solved their bandwith issues! We understand this having burned through several server arrangements ourselves.

Sometimes, however, the problem isn’t bandwith, but hacking. I just got done talking with Kimmy on His Golden Eyes. They have been hacked and are working on the problem. Their tech person is out-of-town right now so there is only so much they can do. We’ve also seen similar problems on some of the actor based sites. So, if you are a Twilight fansite, or really any website for that matter, check your security settings! Make sure there is no back door for a hacker to get in.

We have some fabulous news regarding the Borders midnight release parties for Breaking Dawn. Borders will shortly be releasing the theme for their parties. In the meantime, they’d like to hear from you, the fans, about what you’d like to see at release parties.

Submit your ideas on this post and on the Release Party Plaza Forum. Borders staffers will be looking in both locations. Keep in mind that your ideas should be appropriate for a family friendly, retail environment. Borders can’t guarantee that all activity ideas will be used in every store, but they’d love to hear what the fans have to say. So, let’s hear what you think!

The Movie Fanatic site has just launched a 4-part series on Twilight.

It’s refreshing to see a movie-based site that is new to Twilight really care enough to do an in depth job, and really explore the wealth of information out there. We look forward to what parts 2-4 bring.

The local Fox affiliate in Portland, Oregon (KPTV) covered the filming of the Prom scene. There’s a great video included in the coverage. Thanks to Sara from the station for the heads up.

Stephenie’s website was updated today. She talks about being on set, and there is an adorable picture of Stephenie with the human members of the cast. She also posted on her myspace blog directing everyone to the new update.

The report includes everything from a great prank, to what it’s like hugging a solidly built vampire actor, to this fabulous ending quote:

"To conclude, I would like to make a few comments about Rob and Kristen, who are the true heart of this movie. First, they are both amazing actors. Second, they are channeling Edward and Bella like nobody’s business. Third, you might want to bring a paper bag to the movie, because their on-screen chemistry may cause hyperventilation. That is all."

*Edit* Stephenie added a few more comments to her myspace blog posting. 

"I wish I’d taken more pictures, too!!  But I’m a ginormous coward.  Once you’re sort of hanging out with these amazing people, it becomes very difficult to whip out the camera that is always, always in my bag on set and say, "Hey, sorry to interrupt this great conversation–I’m going to be a freakish dolt and ask for another picture now."  It’s too much fun to pretend that I belong, and that I’m really cool rather than being constantly about to pass out."

Twilight Moms caught up with the crew at a new location, featuring some positively breathtaking scenery. See their report here.

During Total Request Live (TRL), the Twilight movie got a shout out, and this video (also featured on Stephenie’s site) got a mention.

The folks at Cinematical, who yesterday gave us a behind the scenes peek story, have come up with a "Which character are you most like?" poll.  Mention you saw it on the Lexicon if you make a comment!

While we are at it, we just wanted to lay to rest a couple of rumors that are circulating in our inbox and around the Internet.

    a. The beach scenes have not been cut from the movie, they will still take place, just not shot as previously planned for at La Push.
    b. There was an honest error in the ET report, Rosalie is known as Rosalie Hale in the movie not Rosalie Cullen.
    c. Twilight is not intended as an R-rated movie, all "movie posters" out there are currently done by some talented photoshoppers, none are the real thing.
