Colton Hayes Talks Auditioning for Twilight

Those of you who have been around for awhile probably remember back in late 2007 when these Colton Hayes rumors went wild. And someone on the IMDB board teased readers with an official announcement that never came about Colton getting cast. It was quite the uproar at the time. Anyway, here’s Colton’s story.

Twilight Comic Con happenings before Thursday’s panels

I’m hearing some chatter that Twilight fans will want to be outside of Hall H at 9:00 PM on Wednesday night. I don’t think we are talking Kristen, Rob, and Taylor showing up. On the other hand, in the past Summit has come by with some pretty cool swag. You don’t want to potentially miss out on getting/seeing something cool. Sometimes you even get some of the actors in smaller parts showing the people in line some love. Just sayin I wouldn’t pick 9:00pm on Wednesday as the time time I’d pop back to my hotel for a nap. I’m going to be there…will you 😉

Paul Becker Talks How He Got the Breaking Dawn Choreography Gig

We have featured choreographer Paul Becker a couple of times before. Check out how he got the job for Breaking Dawn and what he thinks of director Bill Condon.

PC: What was the atmosphere on set like? PB: Well, I got there and went to the theater that they were shooting in and we all clicked – we just jammed and it all came together right away. I mean, the next day I was working on the film!

PC: That fast.

PB: Yeah – it was a really great experience and they really set up a nice environment for everybody on that. Bill, because of his musical background, really respects the choreography and the choreographer. There is a new surge of dance going through film and TV right now – within the last seven years, really – and there is a new respect for choreographers. Prior to that, I felt a lot of the time like I was being hired as crew, whereas now you are being hired as an artist.

PC: You get more respect.

PB: Yeah – especially on a set that Bill Condon is in charge of; he really has that respect and the reverence for theatre and theatre practices like that.

Check out the rest of the interview including how Paul suddenly found himself in the movie here.

Comic Con Reminds Fans Not To Line Up Early

Comic Con just sent out the following Tweet from their official Twitter. If you are out there, please cooperate with officials so that things aren’t a problem when more people arrive later this week!

Charlie Bewley Runs for Cancer Charity in Underwear

It looks like Charlie Bewley literally stumbled on this event and took it off for charity. You can see Charlie’s previous commitment to cancer charities and his Run For Your Life campaign here.

Bewley’s involvement in the race was happenstance — he was vacationing in the city when he heard about it.

“I literally turned up about half an hour before the race and asked if I could join,” Bewley told The Province on Sunday.

But it wasn’t his first time getting involved with the B.C. Cancer Foundation — the Twilight actor, who plays Demitri, organized the Run For Your Life campaign last year and raised $20,000 for one of his friends suffering from lung cancer.

She was being treated in B.C. where Bewley would visit her.

“You could just really feel … her fears and helplessness,” he said. “And at that point I realized I had to try and do something to help her.”

She died a week before the run. Bewley still completed the run and donated the proceeds to the B.C. Cancer Foundation.

“Cancer touches everyone at some time in their life whether it’s them or someone else,” said B.C. Cancer Foundation CEO Doug Nelson. “With Charlie’s star power, of course, it raises awareness both for the cause and the event.”

Reports of Line Forming Already at Comic Con 2012

Photo above from @Laury4Rob It’s going to be interesting to see how security deals with this one. It sounds like they dealt with overnight security from the Convention Center. The AM supervisor may have other ideas. They also may end up with Comic Con staff not recognizing the line once they are on site. Crapshoot really. You can be dealing with a guard who says one thing then a shift change, a new supervisor, and you have a whole new set of what they say is OK. Until Comic Con gets those tents up and Comic Con security combined with Convention Center security says, “OK a line can start” nothing is 100% certain. Last year I got in line early Tuesday because of reports of a line on Monday. Reality was the room holds 6,500 and I could’ve waited until Wednesday and saved myself a night on the hard ground with freight trains twice a night. My goal was to be in the room (tons of jumbotrons everywhere so you can see) not to be upfront. There were maybe 200-300 of us online until midday Wednesday. They also moved the line three times while I was there. This year, I’ll check it out when I get there on Tuesday afternoon and play it by ear.

 

 

 

 

Apparently they are working quickly and the official Comic Con tents are going up. Last year they were not up until late Tuesday.

However Comic Con as of 12:50Am on Monday just Tweeted the following (let’s not antagonize the officials!):

MyAnna Buring Who Plays Tanya Talks How She Was Cast

Every actor’s path to getting cast in Breaking Dawn is a unique one. Here’s how it went down for MyAnna Buring

So how did she come to be involved with the Twilight films? MyAnna reveals: “I was shooting Kill List and I got a call saying they just couldn’t find this character.

“So on the off chance that they might look at a tape, I sent one off, already being a fan of the Twilight series, particularly the books. I sent it off thinking ‘This is a big Hollywood franchise and I’m little old me and they’re looking for a beautiful vampire’.

“I must have done something really right because I got the job two weeks later. I’d never met [director] Bill [Condon], I’d never met author Stephenie [Meyer], I’d never met any of the producers until I stepped foot on set. So after being confirmed for the job, I spent the next few months worrying they were going to call back and tell me they’d changed their minds.”

She didn’t get such a call, so she went into preparation mode: “I went back to the books, first and foremost. I went back and re-read them all and focused on the sections where Tanya was mentioned, focused on the sections where the Denalis were mentioned, what the Denalis said, how Stephenie had written them.

“And there’s a lot of backstory. I did a bit of research on vampire folklore and then obviously when I was on set, I had Stephenie there, so if I had any questions I could go to the original creator. It was just how I’d prepare for any part.”
