The Eclipse Soundtrack: The Slow Reveal
May 12, 2010
MySpace is releasing a soundtrack artist’s name in random order every 30 minutes today. Come back here and we will update when we have the information.
According to MySpace:
“And… everyone exhale.
Because after weeks of rampant speculation (both on and off this site) we can finally confirm who will be on The Twilight Saga: Eclipse soundtrack. But this information will not be procured easily. No, instead for the next seven hours we will be revealing the soundtrack’s artists one at time, every half-an-hour on the hour.
Oh, and just because we want to this to be as dramatic as possible (seemed appropriate given the movie) we will not be rolling out the bands in order. Instead, the tracklist will gradually fill up as the day goes on.
Our apologies in advance to all the cranky bloggers who were ased to cover this by their employer. But hey, we’re in a recession: At least you’re getting paid!”
On a personal note to the writer of the MySpace write-up, the Lexicon isn’t getting paid nor are the other Twilight bloggers, and I wasn’t “ased” (sic) to do this by my employer.

Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene Salary Negotiations Round Two
May 12, 2010
Entertainment Weekly seems to have picked up where The Hollywood Reporter left off regarding the salary negotiations between Kellan, Ashley, and the studio. As EW tends to be a credible industry source, so, we are reporting on and linking to their coverage.
“Greene and Lutz don’t have huge roles. Greene portrays Alice Cullen, the future-seeing sister of Edward Cullen and Bella’s closest friend in the Cullen clan. Lutz plays older brother Emmett Cullen and his part, so far, has been minor. Yet sources tell EW.com that the duo are asking for $4 million a piece for each of the final two films. Greene and Lutz had initially banded together with fellow co-stars Nikki Reed and Jackson Rathbone to form a united front, but sources say Reed backed down and is now close to finalizing her deal, which is said to be in the $750,000-$1 million range per film — the amount Summit initially offered the four cast members. (Rathbone’s status remains unclear, and his reps had not returned a call for comment at press time. Reed’s manager declined to comment.)
The studio declined to comment on the negotiations. But sources tell EW.com that Greene and Lutz believe that because the supporting actors do as much publicity as the lead actors, and have to log almost as many hours on set, they should be paid accordingly. One source involved in the negotiations says that Greene and Lutz just want to get $1 million or more.”
Check out the rest of the story on EW.
We’ve been asked a couple of times where we stand on all of this. We have some personal thoughts, but we rather let people come to whatever conclusions they want to draw. At the end of the day, we have no insider info on what was in whose contract and what was understood. Our friend Larry411 summed it all up rather nicely when he said, “In many negotiations u have reps for each side leaking info to make the other side look bad in the eyes of the public. Happens all the time…It’s simple. It’s the job of the agent to get as much $$ for their client as they can. The actors often are millions of miles away emotionally and are not involved. It’s the job of the studio to pay as little as possible. They meet somewhere in the middle. But it’s usually behind closed doors & nobody ever knows what the agents asked for, what the studios offered, & what it ended up at…EVERY actor in EVERY film goes in asking for more than they end up getting. That’s the way it works.”

This just in from the folks at Random House who are producing the Short Second Life of Bree Tanner audiobook:
” I wanted to let you know that we are in fact producing an audiobook version of THE SHORT SECOND LIFE OF BREE TANNER, to go on sale June 5 along with the book, and of course we’re very excited!
Emma Galvin is narrating, she’s a young Broadway actress (currently starring in Our Town) and she did an incredible job. We’re actually going to be shooting some video with her here at our offices next week, and would like to offer your readers a chance to submit their questions for Emma to us via Twitter! All they have to do is send us a tweet at @LLAudiobooks including the hashtag #breetanner with the question they’d like to ask Emma about her experience recording the BREE TANNER audiobook.
Unfortunately, she won’t be able to reveal any plot secrets from the book, but all other topics are fair game. We’ll be accepting questions for the rest of this week, I’m interested to see what the fans want to know!”
So if you have any questions for Emma, send them via Twitter!
