Robert Pattinson Cover Shot

September 29, 2009

LA Times The Dish Rag has a cover shot of Robert Pattinson looking very much like James Dean. In the article he talks about Twilight (DUH!), acting versus celebrity, and his upcoming projects.

He admits that finding a copy of “Twilight” in London was difficult initially.

“I tried a couple of bookshops and they weren’t available. Hardly anyone I knew had read them apart from one girl, a friend of my sister.”

The Mounties Are On The Job

September 29, 2009

Remember last year when the Canadian Mounted Police (AKA Mounties) ensured the safty of the production crew while they shot the beach and bike scenes at Tofino?

Well the Mounties are at it again, only this time the location is a lot less exotic. It’s Bella’s house.

“Imagine one of Canada’s famous Mounties. You know, the ones who appear in movies with giant stetsons and bright red serge tunics.

Now imagine vampires.

Canada’s famous police force and the world’s even more famous vampires had a meeting of sorts on Friday in Surrey, British Columbia, during a film shoot for Eclipse, the third installment in the uber popular Twilight series.

A Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer guarded 28th street in Surrey on Friday, keeping twittering Twilight fans more than half a kilometre away from the set of Bella Swan’s house.”

The folks over at the Examiner had the chance to catch an interview with Edi Gathegi, Justin Chon, and Gil Birmingham this last weekend when the guys were in Orlando for the Fantasy TwiLife convention. You can read the entire interview here.

Q: And what kind of motivates you guys to do the conventions as opposed to some of your other colleagues who don’t choose to?

Justin: Um, I think it’s fun, and you get to go somewhere that maybe you haven’t been before. I mean, I haven’t been to Orlando in so long, and I’ve gotten to go to Europe twice. That’s pretty awesome … and meet people who actually want to talk to you.

Edi: You’re like loved as soon as you walk in the door.

Justin: That’s a good feeling.

Gil: Oh, I just love the fans. The fans are the best part of it. Just to have interaction and hear their stories and how involved they are with the series. There’s some fabulous stories I’ve heard and I’m completely touched by it. And from that way, it makes things all really worthwhile.

Q: What kind of motivates you guys to do the conventions?

Edi: You’re like loved as soon as you walk in the door.

Justin: That’s a good feeling.

So this brings us to our semi-monthly or so Twitter round up. Here’s the run down of who has a real Twitter and who doesn’t.

Here are a listing of the real Twitters
relating to the Twilight Saga

Updated as of 9/26/09

Cullen Family Members

Peter Facinelli (also on Twitter is Peter’s fabulous wife Jennie Garth)

The Volturi

Forks Humans

Quileute Tribe Members

Other vampires

Directors

The Twitters supposedly run by Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Kellan Lutz, Nikki Reed are all fakes. Ways to tell: mislabeling of photos stating where & when the pics were taken, Tweeting while clearly performing , all created around the same date, claiming they are posting personal photos when in reality are actually recycled paparazzi shots, official sites of actors don’t list a Twitter, etc.

Hurricane Bells

September 26, 2009

Katie from Live.Love.Twilight. did an interview with New Moon Soundtrack artists, Hurricane Bells, and she’s let us reprint the interview.

Tell us a little about your background in music. How old were you when you stared? Where does the name “Hurricane Bells” come from? What are some of your major influences?

I have been the singer and guitar player in a band called Longwave for years. Longwave has put out 4 records, two for RCA. I have also played guitar on tour with Albert Hammond Jr and Teddy Thompson. I started playing guitar when I was 10, and Longwave is the first band where I ever sang.

I made a record by myself and wanted to call it “tonight is the ghost”. Then I decided I needed a name for the “band”.

Hurricane Bells were heavy stone bells that used to be hung high in trees, by the sea. The only way the bells would sound would be if a very dangerous storm was coming. I thought that was an evocative image and decided to call the thing that.

Can you describe your music/sound?

The Hurricane Bells stuff is kinda stormy, late night kinda music, or rainy day. There is a bunch of echo and reverb on things. Longwave is a pretty guitar heavy band, and I wanted to make something a bit more mellow, that I could put on at night. [Read more…]

Eclipse Shooting: Celebrity Sites Call it Unique

September 26, 2009

The article in Canada’s Globe and Mail talks about how traditional media sites have never seen anything quite like the Twilight Saga fury and how they get their info. (Photo credit ML Splash News)

“The Twilight films are based on Stephenie Meyer’s novels of the same name about the vampire Edward (Pattinson) and Bella (Stewart), the human teen who falls for him. The novels were bestsellers before they hit the big screen, but the films have turned the Twilight industry into an even larger phenomenon – fuelling a staggering interest in the stars.

“Any and every photo – it doesn’t matter how bad it is, it doesn’t matter how little you can see of the people, the fans want to see everything and they will look at every single photo all day long,” says Goodson.

To say the photos are good for driving traffic to the websites is an understatement.”
