Funny or Die: When Harry Met Sally Meets Twilight

April 6, 2011

Many of you may be familiar with the Funny or Die website that spoofs ongoing news stories, actors lives, etc. in a very irreverent and hilarious way (two of our favorites are Alyssa Milano spoofing Snooki and Jerry O’Connell spoofing Charlie Sheen). So this time out Twilight is their target and it features Billy Crystal and Helen Mirren among others. Warning: mature language and dark comedy.

Interview with Leah Gibson: Nettie from Eclipse

April 6, 2011

Of all the opportunities that come our way over the years in working in the fandom, some of our favorite moments come when we have an opportunity to interview the cast members while at the conventions. In Nashville last month, we had the chance to talk with Leah Gibson, who played Nettie in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. This was Leah’s first time at The Creation Entertainment Official Twilight Convention, so we jumped at the chance to talk to her. While we were in the middle of the interview, our camera died! (That’s what happens when your kids get their hands on your equipment and you forget to switch the batteries!) After much apologizing, a second camera was retrieved by Shelley (Something Blue) and we continued with the interview.

We had a great time getting to know Leah and we thank her for taking the time to talk to us, technical difficulties and all! And we thank Creation Entertainment for allowing us to film this and bring it to all of you.

Judi Shehkoni Interviewed By The Twilight Examiner

April 6, 2011

The Twilight Examiner has an exclusive interview with Judi Shekoni who plays Zafrina in Breaking Dawn:

“You were a fan of the Twilight series before you got the role of Zafrina in Breaking Dawn, so when you read the series, did you picture yourself as any of the characters?

Yep, I was a fan. Well, when you read a book you always see yourself as being the character that is telling the story so I guess I lived all the books as Bella, but thinking about it I would have made a very strange and unusual Bella!

Did being a fan make auditioning for the role that much more intimidating or was it easier because you had confidence in your knowledge of the story?

I felt more confident than usual because of my knowledge of the story and the characters; Twilight has a definite feel and style to it that would be hard to pick up from one scene. I felt I was already inside the world and had lived the lives so I definitely felt I had a good advantage!”
