Chaske Spencer Encourages Voter Participation

May 9, 2012

Chaske Spencer is leading an initiative to encourage greater voter participation among Native peoples.

 

Chaske Spencer, Native American actor most known for his role in the Twilight movie saga, is a supporter of the 2012 Native Vote – http://www.NativeVote.org – a national non-partisan campaign of the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI), focused on registering voters, getting out the vote, and protecting the right to vote in Native American communities. With close to a million unregistered voters, NCAI is making an effort to turn out the largest Native vote in history. Visit http://www.NativeVote.org to learn how to get involved and make every vote count!

Chaske is also active in raising awareness to issues effecting Indian Country through his organization Be the Shift (http://www.unitedglobalshift.org/).

We are not a site here that takes political sides; however, the Lexicon supports the idea that voter participation is important no matter where you live and it’s freedom to be celebrated and used to effect change.

Noel Fisher Talks With BME About Breaking Dawn

May 8, 2012

Noel Fisher who plays Vladamir talks about Breaking Dawn with BME In teh photo taken last year, you can see him having dinner with other fellow new vamps Guri Weinberg, Patrick Brennan, Omar Metwally, Tracey Heggins and others.

BME: ‘The Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Part 2’ fanbase is quite a departure from your television and film roles. Do you think this will open the door for more roles in these types of films like ‘The Hunger Games’?

NF: I haven’t put much thought into what kinds of doors the Twilight franchise will open. I am definitely a person who enjoys movies like The Hunger Games (I read all the books about three years ago) so I would love to be part of another big franchise like that. I think these types of films can offer actors the chance to play some really cool characters and help create these amazingly immersive worlds. I mean I get to play a 3000 year old bad ass vampire in Breaking Dawn! That’s rad! It’s like playing pretend when you were a kid…but with a multi-million dollar budget.

Kellan Lutz Cast as Tarzan

May 7, 2012

Kellan Lutz has been cast as Tarzan in the new films being directed by Reinhard Klooss.  Jane Porter will be played by Spencer Locke.  The Hollywood Reporter is saying that the film will be a performance capture 3D film which we’re assuming will be something like James Cameron’s Avatar.  Still, Kellan fans should be thrilled due to the fact that Tarzan is well known for wearing only a loin cloth!

We want your opinion.  DO you think Kellan will be a great Tarzan?  And would you rather see just him or is a motion capture of him more interesting?

Jane Seymour Talks Austenland and Stephenie Meyer

May 7, 2012

Known for her roles in such films as Somewhere in Time and James Bond as well as being Dr. Quinn, Jane Seymour is now taking on the role of Mrs. Wattelsbrook in Austenland. The films is an adaptation of Shannon Hale’s novel and is produced by Stephenie Meyer’s new film company.

“I play the awful woman who runs the place,” Seymour says, “and I’m completely wrong about everything… this absurd concept, this whole thing, It’s quite funny.”

If you have read the book and it’s sequel then you know that Mrs. Watttelsbrook is one of the only characters to appear in both books.  There is no word on whether the sequel will be filmed, but Seymour had this to say about Stephenie Meyer:

“She’s unbelievable.  She was very hands on. In fact, so were all of the women in that movie. Shannon Hale wrote it. Jerusha Hess directed. It was actually nothing but women.”

Pranks on the Breaking Dawn set

May 2, 2012

Guri Weinberg who plays Stefan just updated his blog with a series of funny stories about what happened behind the scenes on Breaking Dawn.

Here’s a brief snippet

We’re all on set against a green screen and massive amounts of fake snow. Shoot dates were getting long and we were all extremely silly. Plus, there were cardboard cut outs of the ‘wolves’. If THAT’S not fodder for juvenile behavior, I don’t know what is. So, par for the course, one of the P.A.s starts taping various notes to unsuspecting people’s backs…

Not to be outdone by ANYONE, Charlie Bewley had some prints made of a photo of himself looking particularly snooty as ‘Demetri. On the photo, he wrote ‘Team Demetri’ and stuck it on Nikki Reed’s back. She had no idea for hours, so definitely he scored a win with that one. Plus, it started the ‘Team’ epitaphs (‘Team Cullen’, ‘Team Wolves’, ‘Team Edward’, ‘Team Bella’, ‘Team GFYS’) that became ALL the rage. Coincidently, if you have never seen a huge, burly, macho grip or electrician with ‘Team Edward’ taped to their back, I’m just not sure you’ve lived…

So, I’m back over in Stephenie’s video village, thinking that would be a safe haven. As I’m chatting it up with her about CRITICAL issues facing the world today (like my deep love for Food TV), I am oblivious to the fact that a P.A. is attaching a hook to my coat – the other end of the hook is attached to a sand bag. As Stephenie is chatting with me, she gives NO indication of what is taking place behind me. All is fine until I stand up and prepare to walk away…only to be jerked back to my chair in a motion that has only been captured before in The Three Stooges films. I’m embarrassed, OBVIOUSLY, and Stephenie is looking at me like the cat that ate the canary. OH! The shame…

Trust us, there are at least four more stories on Guri’s site that you want to check out!
