Eclipse Casting

Marc Malkin over at E! got a look at the Eclipse casting notice that just started to circulate.

Here are some of the descriptions shared by Marc:

“Riley “is a handsome, blond, clean-cut college boy who falls victim to Victoria,” the notice reads. He’s in his early to mid 20s and “plays an integral role in Victoria’s attempt to murder Bella Swan.”

Seth Clearwater is a “tall, gangly-limbed boy with a huge, happy grin. Seth idolizes Jacob.

She[Leah Clearwater] is tall and slender with beautiful skin and short cropped black hair. She would be considered gorgeous if not for the perpetual scowl she carries due to a broken heart and her anger issues.”

Also, according to Marc, Rob was invited to do the musical number at the awards, but the timing just didn’t work out. Grab the video here because E! embed code is way messed up.

In answer to what will probably be the next set of  “how can I audition” questions to hit our inbox, if you are already “in the business” no doubt this is something your agent/manager can assist you with.  As far as we know, they are not up to extras casting at this point. No doubt any extras used will be Vancouver locals. If you have never been involved in the acting business before, don’t get scammed by the various ads stating “Twilight casting now” it’s a scam to sell you acting lessons and headshots. They aren’t in any way connected to the film. If you want some legit information on casting, visit Lana Veenker’s blog. It has a ton of info, Lana was invovled with the casting of Twilight (the first movie).

Peter Facinelli Unveils New Website

We’ve seen a lot of websites over the years that are connected to people in the Twilight universe.  Peter Facinelli’s debut website (previously he just had a MySpace) is nothing short of spectacular.

A round of applause for the design team: especially head web designer Chelle, and Emma and Kelly who did the Twilight section. They are still working out a couple of bugs, but you can tell it’s going to be fabulous.

The site has everything including an IPhone app! Peter has seriously raised the bar for future entertainment sites.

Check out what we are raving about here.

The Host Blog Tour

In celebration of Stephenie Meyer’s novel The Host’s one year anniversary, various blogs are joining in the celebration for a blog tour. We are the kick-off site.

If you haven’t read The Host check it out. Very much the way that Twilight is a vampire book that non-vampire people like, The Host is a sci-fi book that non-sci-fi people like.

In order to celebrate we have four love letters written by fans between the various characters. The four points of view that we decided to feature were Ian to Wanda, Wanda to Ian, Jared to Mel, and Mel to Jared. [Read more…]
