Deadbolt features Quileute Legends
The Deadbolt discusses Native American lore and Quileute legends and how they play an important role in the Twilight saga – both in the books and the films. Read the full story here.
“What’s different about how the legend and lore play out in New Moon with regard to the actual transformation, as compared to other werewolf based stories and films, is that it goes well beyond the visual transformation to a intriguing human level of emotion.”
Jamie Campbell Bower Lands Harry Potter Role
The French Harry Potter site, L’ Univers de Harry Potter , spoke to Jamie’s manager at the Cannes Film Festival. Jamie’s manager confirmed what had long been rumored on Harry Potter sites, that Jamie Campbell Bower would be playing the role of Grindelwald in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows film.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is currently filming on the UK seacoast. The next installment, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince was originally slated to open last November, but Warner Brothers changed their date to July (in fact they recently changed it to open two days earlier than announced) which opened up the opportunity for Twilight to run unchallenged in the teen market this past fall.
Congratulations to Jamie!
Equipment Arrives in Montepulciano
This just in from Twilighters Italia.
“Today there were in Montepulciano some trucks unloading benches and fake gothic statues in the main square, piazza grande. Then all the stuff was carried in the municipality hall.
It is said that the crew took also a red flag and some spears from a near building (since in Montepulciano most of the buildings have colorful flags hanged on the doors).”
Edi Gathegi, Kellan Lutz, & Peter Facinelli on ABC
Edi, Peter, and Kellan each give their perspectives on transitioning to New Moon. Peter covers fan reaction, Edi talks about the battle werewolf vs. vampire, Kellan describes “rocking out” back with his film family.
“Nothing on New Moon has been crazy. For the actors it has been easy. We got to try new things with our characters which was great. I have to say that I like the New Moon screenplay better than Twilight. And it was really cool to see how Rob was incorporated into the screenplay,” said Kellan.
Check it all out On The Red Carpet.
