Stephenie Addresses Midnight Sun Leak

Many of you have e-mailed us over the last week asking for us to comment on the leaked chapters of Midnight Sun.  We have refrained from posting anything about the leak until we had some official comment about it from Stephenie Meyer or Little Brown.  Tonight Stephenie updated her web page to let all of her fans know what was going on and what this means for the future of the book.  You can read her official statement here.

Stephenie to Direct

MTV has an article stating that Stephenie will direct a Jack’s Mannequin video.

 

 

Extra Extra

You guessed it, Extra TV has a Twilight feature. You can catch it on their website and see Ashley Greene (Alice) talking about the movie.

In the news

MTV is citing that Twilight is the winner in a "“If you could choose only one movie to see in the theater in the next four months, which film would be your first choice?“ poll. According to MTV, "the eagerly anticipated first movie to be adapted from Stephanie(sic) Meyer’s blockbuster series turned out, in fact, to be the MOST anticipated movie of the fall…" The poll actually originates on Fandango here.

The Christian Science monitor has a piece on fan reaction to Breaking Dawn.

Photobucket has now listed Twilight as one of their front page categories. Thanks to Cocoa (not our mod) on the heads up on that.

More Music News

The Texas based Bella Cullen Project band was just featured in Cosmo Girl magazine.  You can also get the band’s music from ITunes.

You can also get the Mitch Hansen Band’s Twilight themed CD, The Twilight Hour, from ITunes.

Twilight Products

The LA Times column called "Dish the Rag" has a piece about products that they think Twilight is influencing.  We think they missed the memo that Twilight fans don’t per say favor the goth look any more than they favor any other type of look.

If you are looking for more book based items there is Twilight Teez. Twilight Teez merchandise is also being used as the prizes in the contest sponsored by Pop Star. You can see some of their Fall line below.

Hot Topic just did a major advertising push on their Twilight movie apparel with promises of more in the future. If you are a member you get emails that feature a large movie graphic when new items come in.

New Twilight Bands

Most regular readers of this blog probably recognize the names The Bella Cullen Project, or the Mitch Hansen Band. There are some other groups that have now gotten into Twilight inspired music.

Kat Tingley has a Twilight inspired song called Undone. You can check her out on MySpace. She also has an interview with Novel Novice.

The wizard rock band, The Bezoar Project is also experimenting with new inspiration. The band’s main thrust is Harry Potter rock, but they have done two Twilight inspired songs called Replacement and Love Song for a Vampire.
