Top Twilight Moments to Look Forward to in 2011
January 2, 2011
The Twilight Examiner has a rundown of the top Twilight moments to look forward to in 2011. We’ve highlighted two of our personal favorites. What are you most looking forward to?
“THE OFFICIAL GUIDE!
At lastttttt . . . On April 12th, Stephenie Meyer’s Official Guide will hit stores. It’s been a long time coming, and fans have been very eager to see what Meyer has cooked up to explain any missing pieces in the Saga. If Bree Tanner was any indication of what was in store with the Guide, it should be a very interesting addition to the collection. The same will be true if Volume 2 of the Twilight Graphic Novel hits stores this year.
Interview, Interview, Interview phase
There are going to be so many television, red carpet, magazine, and online interviews with the cast, crew, and filmmakers over 2011 that Twilight fans’ collective heads will be spinning by November. During the thick of it, there comes a point – at least for Twilight site admins – where you have to decide which of the many, many clips and snippets get the most attention. It’s when there’s content overload like this that it becomes clear just how significant this series is at the moment.”
Ashley Greene One of Ten Young Actors to Watch
January 2, 2011
Ashley Greene made Moviehole’s Ten Young Actors to Watch list.
“Like quite a few, young Ashley Greene earned her stripes as part of the ensemble cast of the ‘’Twilight’’ franchise. In 2011, she’ll again play sparkly eyed Alice Cullen (in ‘’Breaking Dawn’’) but she’s also the female lead in two incongruent flicks, ‘’Skateland’’ – a coming-of-age dramedy set in the ‘80s – and ‘’The Apparition’’, a new horror flick from producer Joel Silver. Beauty and Genuine Talent seems to go a long way in this industry, so expect to hear more from Ashley Greene over the next few years.”
Michael Welch is 154 People Away From Goal
January 2, 2011
Michael Tweeted an update on his efforts with The Thirst Project.
“At this point we’ve raised $4,241. Our goal is $5,000! We have $760 to go. If we can get 152 more donations at $5 over the next two weeks, we’ll be able to build a clean water well in Swaziland! I really appreciate your generosity so far. This is going to save and enhance the lives of thousands of people over the next several decades.”
So if you can give $5 to this cause please do!

Twilight Poster Photographer Debuts Collection in LA
December 31, 2010
Remember the story of how the original Twilight movie posters were shot by an 18-year-old rising photographic star?
At the time a lot of people scoffed at an 18-year-old being hired for the job. Well now Joey Lawrence (Known as Joey L to avoid confusion with the actor of the same name.) has his own show (at age 21) in Los Angeles. Joey L has been traveling extensively in Africa where he has captured some amazing images while diving right into the culture. According to the press release:
“Twenty-one year-old Canadian photographer Joey L., first place recipient in the International Photography Awards for his “Abyssinia” project and renowned for his photos promoting the “Twilight” movie saga, will debut his fine art collection through photokunst at photo l.a January 13-17. Joey will meet with fans and photo collectors at the photokunst booth (B 206) on Saturday, January 15 from 5 to 7 PM in the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, 1855 Main Street Santa Monica, CA.
Joey L.’s distinctive style, showcased in the “Twilight” posters, secured him acclaim and commercial success allowing him to pursue personal fine art work. “Abyssinia”, shot in Ethiopia’s Omo Valley, features portraits of the various tribes that occupy the valley and is the subject for his first book project, “The Cradle of Mankind”. The photographs are a deeply moving visual tribute to the tribal peoples of the Omo Valley, the birthplace of Homo sapiens, the beginning of mankind.
The Joey L. signature, as he describes, is “to achieve an atmospheric look with cinematic lighting, paying homage to the old masters with a modern spin, yet with a vivid tonal range.” Joey spends most of the time during his shoots establishing a personal connection with his subjects, learning their names, their favorite places and adornments. “Work is a collaboration between the subject and myself,” Joey says. The actual shoot is brief, but the relationship is long and enduring.
Joey’s work and life demonstrate a wisdom and sensitivity beyond his years. His premiere documentary film “Faces of a Vanishing World”, chronicles his journey to Ethiopia as he leaves his commercial photography career behind to pursue his other passion–capturing images of cultures on the verge of extinction. The film, which debuted in September, 2010 on Ovation has been distributed in 120 countries.
Joey’s “life-long” inspiration has been the writings of Wade Davis, world-renowned ethnographer, writer, photographer, and filmmaker. Davis has agreed to write the introduction to “The Cradle of Mankind”.
“These exquisite images evoke in the most powerful and glorious way the place of origin of all humanity. From Africa, 40,000 years ago, our human ancestors began their great journey and within 2500 generations carried the human imagination to every corner of the habitable world. This beautiful book brings us all home.”—Wade Davis, National Geographic Explorer, Ethnobotanist, Anthropologist, Author
A United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage site of special international significance, the Omo River Valley and the tribes within it are on the verge of irreversible devastation by a proposed hydroelectric dam. “The Cradle of Mankind” is an urgent call to honor our birthplace and the tribes who remain as stewards of our legacy. Portions of Joey’s fine art and DVD sales are donated to Survival International to support the rights of tribal peoples in the Omo Valley, Ethiopia.
“Joey L. is an entirely new breed of photographer who brings photojournalism to the fine art arena. The dignity and beauty that he portrays in peoples of rapidly vanishing cultures are incredibly important in getting their message out to the world.”—Dr. Peter Keller, President, Bowers Museum
“Joey L’s subjects present themselves with an artistry which bridges the gap between them and the viewer. We see their frailty, and their pride and resilience in confronting our myopia, which condemns them as backward, dispensable, and moribund ‘primitives’. Joey L’s art penetrates their exoticism and shows us the sheer beauty of our shared humanity, with all its tragedy and hope.”—Stephen Corry, Director, Survival International .”
