Summit Looks Beyond Twilight

Variety has a sit down  with Summit executives and talked to them about their current success and future plans for their company.  Summit, once a barely noticeable company, scored big this year with both Twilight and the Nicholas Cage movie, Knowing.

“When ‘Twilight’ broke out, we got a lot of vampire scripts,” Friedman says, “But ‘Knowing’ has really confirmed that we’re doing a broad range of projects and that we’re not a genre company.”

Michael Welch: Movie Premiere

Michael Welch was joined on the red carpet by Twilight buddies Justin Chon and Christian Serratos for the premiere of his film Lost Dream. TY to Jill and Vescara(photos)

“Set to grace the screen on May 7th at the Stanley Kramer Theater in Hollywood, Lost Dream is a timely story about the fading American Dream that stars Michael Welch and Shaun Sipos. Producer Mae Nekoba offered, “When casting our two leads we found two of the most impressive up-and-coming actors in the city.”

Michael Welch of Twilight and Joan of Arcadia, plays Perry, a privileged, young intellectual battling against his destiny not wanting to follow in his father’s political footsteps. Perry at this challenging crossroads in his life meets Giovanni, played by Shaun Sipos of The Grudge 2 and Comeback Season, an artist in search of his own voice. Giovanni represents a side that Perry desires providing a tumultuous friendship inducing a suicidal realm of self-discovery. Together, with the guidance of writer/director Ahmed, these two young actors crafted performances that carried the film through its dramatic highlights.

Writer/director Asif Ahmed conceived Lost Dream while attending college. The original script served as his senior thesis and still reflects the alienation and youthful yearning so many young people experience during this period; all set against the universal themes of political, social, and personal evolution.

Patricia Richardson (Home Improvement, Strong Medicine) also co-stars along with Jeremy Lond”

**WARNING** The trailer  is not rated by the MPAA. The material contains items of a graphic nature and mature theme.

Alex Meraz Gets Hard Time From Fan

It seems that someone was having a little trouble separating truth from fiction. According to E! a fan seemed to think Alex was actually Paul.

“Someone started yelling at me because they didn’t like my character,” Meraz told us last night at a Carrera Vintage Sunglasses party at the Chateau Marmont hotel.

“I play a bad boy, so she got mad at me,” he added. “She said, ‘I hate you, Paul!’ That was the craziest thing for me—being confused for a character.”

With any luck  this fan won’t stumble on any of the Volturi, we can only imagine her reaction.

Twilight Widower Blog

As I type this (this is Pel) I am sitting next to Be My Escape (who saw the entry the other day on Twicrack) and we have tears rolling down our face from laughing so hard. All we can say is now the guys who get all wrapped up in football, basketball, baseball, hockey, etc. and their wives and girlfriends  just don’t care, now you know what it’s like.

You really want to put down all liquids before reading or there’s a chance that you are going to short out your monitor. Just one of the gems from this blog:

It was an unusual evening at our house tonight. Claiming that my blog has “shamed her,” the Missus cooked dinner and did the dishes afterwards, before withdrawing behind her laptop. This may seem like a small thing, but it’s the most attention she’s paid me since she’s discovered Edward Cullen.

I felt she deserved a reward. (Positive reinforcement is the key to winning your woman back from the cold, grasping arms of that undead home wrecker).”
