Kellan Lutz: Local Boy Makes Good

Kellan Lutz is due to pay a visit to the small North Dakota town where he grew up.  According to the Dickinson Press:

“Kellan Lutz, who plays Emmett Cullen in the movie, will make an appearance on Saturday, Aug. 22 during Tractor Fest. There the actor/model will greet fans, take photos and sign autographs.

Lutz was born in Dickinson, then lived in a few different places, and moved to California when he was a teen to be closer to his family and acting opportunities.

Lutz is scheduled to appear in Mott pending any unforeseen scheduling conflicts, said Tractor Fest Committee member Deb Marthaller.

“His publicist said the last time he did an event somewhere in about the size of our community they drew 600 people…”

Two Words: Yellow Porsche

This in from Twilighters Italia 2.0

“Today our forum mods were in Montepulciano and look what they’ve found:

Alice’s Yellow Posche!

At the beginning our loved racing car was covered by a grey robe, but our
indefatigable facilitator/ moderator, suspicious of the dimensions and by
the chromed wheels, have began questioning people around.

Mauro Pellegrini the owner of the tow truck, had orders by the production
not to uncover the car, but after explaining him who they were to his boss,
our heroines have even been invited to remain till the end of the
shooting!!

The big man youcan see in some pictures is one of the stuntmen. He had an
Alice wig, a bandana, a couple of elbow high red gloves, and seemingly from
far he actually looked like our loved little vampire/pixie

Mauro secretly told us that there are two yellow porsche in Montepulciano,
placed in different places of the town. As they were not exactly identical,
one had yellow brake pad cover and another had them red, Production was
willing to spend to the incredible amount of €5800 PER PIECE to have them
all red!!!

Luckily they found out a way to paint them, but this episode says a lot on
how high is this movie’s budget!!!

The helicopter we told you about ealier, has kept low-flying whole day long
filming aerial of the main square.. The fountain is not finished yet, so
probably this was a rehearsal or shooting for the DVD’s extra-contents .

It also flown over where the porsche was, so probably we’ll see some
Twilighters on the big screen : our Marghe’s car has been filmed by Alice’s
car!!

We are honoured!!”

There’s also some great footage taken of the square looking down from the clocktower.

Robert Pattinson Does More Press at Cannes

First Up is a video from ET Canada (via Robert Pattinson Online)

Next is an interview from Le Grand Journal. There is a fabulous English transcription and play-by-play over at Twilighters Anonymous.

Brad Pitt vs. Robert Pattinson

Extra TV wants to know who is sexier down at Cannes: Brad or Rob? I mean let’s face it, on name pronunciation alone Robert ( Rob-bare)  vs. Brad (well…Brad…and it sounds like they are coughing up bad food when they say it) Rob should easily win. Plus, is it just us, or does Brad look like he took a suit from the Fantasy Island collection and then grabbed a random scarf and shoes for the heck of it.

Vote here, and then you can also send thema video reply.

Montepulciano: Preparations Continue

This just in from Shire, of Twilightitalia.com

Today we’ve got a couple of very interesting news/rumors from Montepulciano!

A friend of ours had the chance to record a video and take some pictures (of the fountain, the Mayor and road signs), that we included  in this article in Twilightitalia , written in Italian, whose title translates in “Report from Montepulciano: the fountain is being built, various pictures and mysterious calls!”

Essentially, in this article we say that yesterday, the Mayor of Montepulciano was in the town square (where the fountain is being built) in person and it seems like they were working on security.

The most interesting (and strange) fact is that our friend found a lot of road signs around town saying that some streets will be closed on friday, May 22nd, from 6:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M.

Could this mean that the filming of some scenes has been preempted? (The official communication from Montepulciano Municipality reported the filming from May 25 to May 29).

You can find all the pictures embedded in the video that we report on Twilightitalia.

Some rumors state that Robert will be here in Italy on Friday.
