Fandango: Exclusive With Jamie Campbell Bower

July 21, 2009

Fandango snagged Jamie Campbell Bower for an exclusive chat while on the set of New Moon.

“Q. Were you prepared to be a part of the Twilight madness?
Campbell Bower: Nothing has really prepared me for that. I got off the plane the other night when I arrived and there were five guys waiting there asking if I could take a picture with them. That was weird enough! I was like, “Why? Uh, OK. Yes, of course I can. You know I’m nobody, right?” It’s really interesting, and I only hope that, with the support that I’m getting from people at the moment, I will live up to it in the film. My Twitter fan base between last month and this month has gone up 6,000 people. That is craziness! That is really, really bizarre.”

See the whole Jamie Campbell Bower interview on Fandango.

Rotten Tomatoes Set Visit Day 2

July 21, 2009

Jen Amato from Rotten Tomatoes field her second report from her day on the New Moon Set.  Jen is also going to be running a regular series on Rotten Tomatoes covering the Twilight Saga Filming. We are looking forward to her coverage.

“Stewart was mesmerizing in take after take. The repetition of it was fascinating to listen to; the 19-year-old actress seemed to open a vein with every take, then fall silent. Or she’d ask Weitz for direction, or cut herself short with an expletive or burst of laughter. The tension of the scene always brightened once Weitz called “Cut!” — a Volturi actor would give Pattinson a hand up, or Stewart might wander off, snapping out of the moment. (After one take, Pattinson turned to Greene and playfully asked, “Does it look like I’m in pain?”)

Watching the monitors revealed even deeper layers in Stewart’s performance. Stewart, who by now has nearly 20 film credits under her belt, is a uniquely emotional performer; anguish is practically written on her face. Maverick or no during rehearsals, Stewart packs an almost unrivaled intensity into her acting. Yet in interviews, she and her Twilight cast mates are hounded by gossipy questions; why not ask her about her actual craft? We would have, given the chance.”

Peter Facinelli In The UK and Ireland

July 21, 2009

Peter Facinelli was  in the  UK and Ireland this weekend after first attending the Twi-Tour Minneapolis Event. Peter had a bit of a goof when he realized that he wasn’t traveling with his passport so he ended up in the UK a day late. Fortunately the event honored the tickets of those that were supposed to see Peter on the following day.

Here’s the account of one lucky fan Saoirse (pronounced sur – sha and means freedom in Irish) “We arrived at the forbidden planet store at 3:50pm. The sign said Peter would start at 4:45pm. When we got there the queue was relatively short but by the time we entered the stop it was all around the shop, out the door and around the corner. Peter was 35 minutes late but nobody really minded. He showed up and there were many screams. We finally got into the shop and up to where he was signing. He was very friendly and nice and kindly signed books, photos and whatever else, as well as getting a picture with each person. We got our Twilight books signed and he had difficulty with my name, it being Irish, but we got there in the and I also got a photo. It was very cool ;)”

Peter’s own YouTube Channel posted video from the event.

Charlie Bewley: Student Film Robotron

July 21, 2009

Another student film starring Charlie Bewley has surfaced on YouTube.  It’s called Robotron. It’s not quite as hilarious as the previous one that hit the net called Stuffed, but it’s worth it to see Charlie play an android that gives dating advice.

Thanks to Twilight Treasury for passing this along.

How Early Should I Get To Comic Con?

July 20, 2009

A lot of people have been emailing and Tweeting us asking about Comic Con and what time they should get there to be able to get a seat.  Honestly, we are hesitant to state a time because if we are wrong and people don’t get in, we don’t want to be hacked to death by an angry mob.

So here’s what we did. We asked people who were there last year to help us out by telling us what time they got there and what kind of seats they then got. So, use this as information when making your own decisions:

@pattinsononline 7:30pm the day before and we got front row. I don’t think we’ll ever do that AGAIN.

@KelseyDD about 2 hours early. I had to sit way in the back too. Thought I wouldn’t make it in.

@LadyBelle616 We got to comic con about 8am and sat about halfway back

chloeeesays Actually, we probably got there about 2-2.5 hours early, & I didn’t think we were gonna make it. Sat in the back too.

Eclipse director, David Slade, has rejoined Twitter. His icon picture seen left (we think) is from the his featurette Meat Dog What’s Fer Dinner?

You can friend David’s Twitter account here.

You can catch his very moving video here on the UNICEF CHANNEL(read the comments that go along with the video, they really explain the full legnth of the project.)

David just did his first Eclispe related Tweet, “Reading Stephenie’s notes on latest script draft, we are in very good shape.”

Hit Fix New Moon Set Report: Day 2

July 20, 2009

Hit Fix is continuing their coverage of their New Moon set visit.

“Showing acting isn’t always a glamorous life, our next take finds Pattinson  once again on the ground (where’s been on and off for at least two hours) writhing in pain as Alice looks up and says, “He’s O.K.” take after take.  Eventually, Edward’s pain is accurately captured and Pattinson is allowed to walk back to his trailer with his bare chest visible for all the ladies in my party to swoon over.

With Edward gone, the crew continues filming reaction shots. This time? A close up on Jane who stares ominously where Edward is supposed to be.  Notably, Fanning looks almost unrecognizable in her Volturi outfit.  She’s stunningly beautiful looking more and more like a ready to graduate senior in high school rather than the sophomore she really is.  Notably though, at least on the days we were on set, Jane says nothing.  And sadly, Fanning did not speak to us during our time there.”

Part 2 is here and in case you missed part one you can get that here.

Chris Weitz: Noot Seear More Than a Pretty Face

July 20, 2009

Chris Weitz talked to fashion industry publication Women’s Wear Daily (WWD) about why runway model Noot Seear was chosen for the role of Heidi.

“We wanted someone who had an unearthly and unlikely beauty, but could also convey humour and menace. It’s rare to find a stunningly attractive person who also happens to have the ability to act.”

You can read the article on WWD , alternatively InStyle UK has summarized the article.

For background on Noot, NY Mag has a great rundown.
