Julia Jones Interviewed By Hollywood Chicago
December 29, 2010
Julia Jones was at the Chicago Comic Con ( a local offshoot of the big Comic Con that happens in San Diego each summer) where Hollywood Chicago was able to interview her. (Photo credit: Joe Arce of Starstruck Foto for HollywoodChicago.com)
“HollywoodChicago.com: How do your early days as a dancer help you to navigate the rigors of show business?
Julia Jones: The first thing that comes to mind is the discipline, there is nothing more emotionally, physically and mentally demanding then ballet. You have to push yourself so far as an actor, and you have to deal with a harsh reality, like people being mean to you, and my Russian ballet teachers were really good training for that. [laughs]
HollywoodChicago.com: What has been the most surreal element of being put into The Twilight Saga spotlight?
Jones: For me, just how fast everything changed. I feel sometimes like I’m on a low-grade drug all the time. It’s just that my new reality is different, there is so much more energy hurled at you on a daily basis than before.”

Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner People’s Choice Awards Bound
December 29, 2010
“Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart are among the first to confirm that they’ll be attending, making the pair a recurring feature on the red carpet (remember their adorable joint presentation of a “scary movie”-themed feature at last year’s Academy Awards?), and they’ll be in good company with a host of other celebs including Zac Efron, Taylor Swift, Emma Roberts, Leighton Meester, and Mila Kunis. ”
Other celebrities tend to walk the red carpet, so be on the lookout for more names to be at the show on January 5th. Twilight was up for a ton of awards, expect Taylor and Kristen to pick up a few as well as possibly be presenters.
You can also catch live Red Carpet coverage on @Ustream at 4:30pm PT / 7:30pm ET on Jan 5! http://on.fb.me/fokvBh

Twilight Saga Rocks Multiple Top Ten Lists
December 28, 2010
Best movie Soundtrack of 2010, Eclipse on Next Movie
“Everybody likes to make fun of “Twilight” – adults, children, house pets – but the producers of the films threw a monkey wrench in the gears of the irony machine by stuffing the soundtrack to their latest effort full of awesome songs from ultra-cool indie bands. “Eclipse” is a who’s who of moody indie rock, featuring a lineup that would make Pitchfork’s brains explode: Beck, Bat For Lashes, Metric, Vampire Weekend, Muse, the Black Keys…the list goes on and on. Perhaps this all shouldn’t be surprising given that music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas made a name for herself turning television’s “The O.C.” into an avenue for indie rock exposure, but it’s still a very pleasant surprise to see the music from a “Twilight” film become the “Singles” soundtrack of the aughts.”
Top Movie Trailer of 2010, Eclipse, via Google tracking
“Blockbuster ‘Twilight Eclipse’ has beaten ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’, ‘Iron Man 2’ and ‘A Team’ as the top most searched film trailer on google.
While the film didn’t have the enormous hype of Harry Potter, it was a favorite amongst internet users who search for trailers using google. This was despite the fact it received mixed reviews and was not as highly regarded as the previous outing of the franchise.”
Number Three Charity Auction of the Year, according to Tonic
“3. Meet Robert Pattinson on the set of Twilight: Breaking Dawn, to benefit the GO Campaign — $85,000.
The winner received the chance for four people total to experience first-hand the biggest pop culture phenomenon of the decade as they will spend a day on the set, including the chance to meet the film’s star Robert Pattinson!
This auction package included 2 nights in a Deluxe Executive Suite at the elite Four Season Hotel in Vancouver and VIP limousine service to and from the Breaking Dawn set provided by Star Limousine Services!”
New Moon was the third biggest VOD (video on demand) film for 2010.According to Variety who reported on Comcast’s results,
“The second most popular pic on VOD was “Couples Retreat,” followed by “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” and “Hot Tub Time Machine.”
Coming in at No. 5 was “The Hurt Locker,” which made just $16.4 million in theatrical release. Though that Kathryn Bigelow film was released in 2009, VOD transactions were strong after its six Oscar wins in March.”
New Moon Ranks Number 3 For Video on Demand
December 28, 2010
According to Moviefone, New Moon was the third biggest VOD (video on demand) film for 2010. Comcast, one of the nation’s largest VOD companies traced the surprising results.
1. The Blind Side
2. Couples Retreat
3. Twilight Saga: New Moon
4. Hot Tub Time Machine
5. The Hurt Locker
6. It’s Complicated
7. Shutter Island
8. Date Night
9. The Book of Eli
10. Avatar
Get the full analysis on Moviefone.
It’s interesting because other notable hits of 2009 that hit VOD in 2010 were no place to be found. It also shows what OSCAR buzz can do, when the little known Hurt Locker (also a Summit film) was suddenly launched into awareness in the post theatrical run.
Are you a VOD person? What do you think of the results?

Chaske Spencer and Gil Birmingham’s Shouting Secrets Trailer Released
December 28, 2010
Shouting Secrets starring Gil Birmingham and Chaske Spencer just released its trailer. At TwiTour in Orlando, Chaske said that they will be bringing the film out on the festival circuit so look for it at places like Southwest, Tribecca, and Toronto. They won’t have it at Sundance because it was still being edited at the submission deadline.
Shouting Secrets – Trailer
Uploaded by thevampireclub. – Full seasons and entire episodes online.
Here’s the description on the official website:
“SHOUTING SECRETS is the universal story about a family coming back together under the chaotic event of a parent’s sudden illness.
Siblings separated by their past along with their misunderstood father are left dealing with each other both in the tight confines of the hospital where their mother June now lays in a coma and back at the old family home on a Native American reservation in the nation’s southwest.
Although growing up within the circumstances unique to their ancestry, the children have each followed distinctly different paths in order to separate themselves from each other and their upbringing on the reservation. Wesley, the middle child, is a young author who found his fortune by writing a “fictional” tell-all of life on the reservation at the expense of his family. Tushka, Wesley’s brother, is a washed up athlete who falls victim to his own mediocrity, finding adultery with a young “Lolita” to fulfill his need to once again matter to himself. Pinti, the youngest, seeks love in the embrace of a musician and is left dealing with how to tell the family that she is pregnant with her Caucasian-pot-smoking-Buddhist-of-a-boyfriend’s child.
June, mother to the three children, is the beacon of this family and the light of her husband Cal’s life…but now that she’s not strong enough to hold the torch anymore, will the family be strong enough to hold it together?
Cutting through the harsh themes of family struggle with the precise balance of honest humor and raw conflict, Shouting Secrets relates to the moment we all will eventually be forced to deal with as a family ages together, regardless of the effort we can try to take to avoid those we are bonded to for a lifetime.”
So what do you think, is it something you’d like to see?
