Ty to Kim  These guys are well known for their spoofs on just about anything.

Chris Weitz took a recent trip to Kalama High School in Oregon to see if it might be used for New Moon. Kalama was used for several Twilight scenes such as the parking lot crash, the volleyball game, and their weight room was transformed into Bella’s hospital room.  You can see a bunch of Kalama and later Madison HS in the candid photos taken last year by one of the film’s films extras, Kiz.

According to this article, the Blu-ray version of the Twilight movie will intially be released only at Target and Best Buy. Other retailers will have it roughly two and a half months later.  The regular version hits all retailers in the US and Canada on march 21st.

The UK release of the Twilight DVD is slated for April 6th according to Amazon.UK

Access Hollywod has a quote from Dakota:

“I don’t think they’ll have to put a lot of makeup on me,” she joked. “I’m pretty white already.”

A couple of months back, MTV asked Dakota Fanning what she thought about the Twilight craze.

Dakota had experienced a bit of the Twilight craze first hand because she was at Comic Con in July 2008 in connection with her upcoming film Push. She actually had to be escorted in past the screaming Twilight fans because a major traffic snarl had her late for her scheduled appearance. The fans definitely made an impression.

Entertainment Tonight actually talked directly to Dakota in an exclusive:

"Dakota tells ET that although contracts haven’t been signed, she does hope to join the cast of ‘New Moon.’ She tells us she’s a big fan of the movie ‘Twilight’ and would really like to play a vampire, namely the sadistic bloodsucker Jane."

 

IESB has also spoken with Dakota who is confirming that she is in talks for New Moon.

Granted, it doesn’t seem like the ink is dry on the contracts, but in general stars don’t talk about an upcoming project unless they are really interested in doing it, and it’s almost a done deal. It’s considered bad form otherwise.

There’s been a change of actors appearing at the Chicago Convention. Justin Chon is making an appearance while Kellan Lutz drops out.  Keep in mind this is typical at most cons because actors’ schedules change. ( Jackson Rathbone recently had to cancel an appearance with his band due to an episode of Criminal Minds that he picked up.) Make sure when you are signing up for a multi-day con there are other activities besides actor appearances, because those appearances are always subject to change. Alphie and Pel will be at this con doing several panel discussions.

Creation Entertainment, that currently has the San Fransisco convention planned, is looking to do events in a variety of other cities. They have several events planned for their San Fransisco con including special private meals with the actors. Check out their new cities here including Los Angeles, Parsippany, New Jersey, and Minneapolis.

The Summer school in Forks Convention has John Granger added to the speakers list. They have also added a promotion where fans can win an IPOD Nano by signing up. Check out their site

So, is Inkheart, "Twilght for a slightly younger genration?"

Is Notorious, "Twilight for dudes?"

These are just two examples in recent news. Lately it seems like everytime there is a hyper crowd there’s a Twilight comparison. When the paparazzi are out, suddenly there are questions of "What is Pattinson around?"

It seems like all of a sudden everyone is comparing their upcoming project to Twilight. What do you think of the sudden rash of comparisons?
