No Swapping of Vampire Advice For Robert Pattinson and James Frain

December 31, 2010

“True Blood star James Frain has revealed he regrets not getting any “vampire tips” from Robert Pattinson on the set of Water For Elephants.

Robert is known for his role as vampire Edward Cullen in hit franchise Twilight, and fellow Brit James takes on the role of a vampire in the forthcoming third series of True Blood.

But James said he and Robert did not talk about vampires while on the set of their film, which also stars Reese Witherspoon.

He said: “My scenes were with Robert Pattinson but I’m sorry to say we didn’t swap vampire stories. I wish we had.

“People can’t believe there’s going to be a scene in the movie with a Twilight vampire talking to a True Blood vampire and that we didn’t spend our time chatting about that, but I’m afraid not. I wish I’d got vampire tips from him, I wish I’d gone ‘Oi, Bob mate, any tips?’.”

But James was full of praise for Robert, saying: “He’s sweet, quite shy, just a really good guy.”

Water for Elephants recently had its release date switched to April 11, 2011. The film also co-stars Reese Witherspoon.

Twilight Fan, Weight Loss, and Tattoo Celebration

December 29, 2010

We’ve seen a lot of Twilight themed tattoos over the years. This one has a rather unique story to go along with it. So far, Cathy Ward has spent £2,200 (which is roughly equal to $3,400 American dollars at current exchange rates), and has endured almost an entire day under a tattoo artist’s needle.

“I got hooked on Twilight at Christmas last year and since then I have gone from size 24 to 10. I have never been more positive, more outgoing, fit and never had so much fun in my life.”

Mrs Ward bakes cakes for Morrisons in Whitley but at home she heads for the cross-trainer in her Twilight-themed spare room where she works out to DVDs and soundtracks of the movies.

Mrs Ward is saving up for her 50th birthday in June but is expecting to undergo another 12 hours under the needle at No Limits tattoo studio, in Oxford Road, West Reading, and invest another £1,500 to £2,000 in her body art before then.”

See the entire story here.

We’d like to congratulate Cathy on her weight loss journey , and best wishes on a bright future with lots of energy to enjoy it!

Julia Jones Interviewed By Hollywood Chicago

December 29, 2010

Julia Jones was at the Chicago Comic Con ( a local offshoot of the big Comic Con that happens in San Diego each summer) where Hollywood Chicago was able to interview her. (Photo credit: Joe Arce of Starstruck Foto for HollywoodChicago.com)

“HollywoodChicago.com: How do your early days as a dancer help you to navigate the rigors of show business?

Julia Jones: The first thing that comes to mind is the discipline, there is nothing more emotionally, physically and mentally demanding then ballet. You have to push yourself so far as an actor, and you have to deal with a harsh reality, like people being mean to you, and my Russian ballet teachers were really good training for that. [laughs]

HollywoodChicago.com: What has been the most surreal element of being put into The Twilight Saga spotlight?

Jones: For me, just how fast everything changed. I feel sometimes like I’m on a low-grade drug all the time. It’s just that my new reality is different, there is so much more energy hurled at you on a daily basis than before.”

See the entire interview on Hollywood Chicago.( scroll down it’s the second interview on the page.)

Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner People’s Choice Awards Bound

December 29, 2010

According to MTV:

“Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart are among the first to confirm that they’ll be attending, making the pair a recurring feature on the red carpet (remember their adorable joint presentation of a “scary movie”-themed feature at last year’s Academy Awards?), and they’ll be in good company with a host of other celebs including Zac Efron, Taylor Swift, Emma Roberts, Leighton Meester, and Mila Kunis. ”

Other celebrities tend to walk the red carpet, so be on the lookout for more names to be at the show on January 5th. Twilight was up for a ton of awards, expect Taylor and Kristen to pick up a few as well as possibly be presenters.

You can also catch live Red Carpet coverage on @Ustream at 4:30pm PT / 7:30pm ET on Jan 5! http://on.fb.me/fokvBh

Twilight Saga Rocks Multiple Top Ten Lists

December 28, 2010

Best movie Soundtrack of 2010, Eclipse on Next Movie

“Everybody likes to make fun of “Twilight” – adults, children, house pets – but the producers of the films threw a monkey wrench in the gears of the irony machine by stuffing the soundtrack to their latest effort full of awesome songs from ultra-cool indie bands. “Eclipse” is a who’s who of moody indie rock, featuring a lineup that would make Pitchfork’s brains explode: Beck, Bat For Lashes, Metric, Vampire Weekend, Muse, the Black Keys…the list goes on and on. Perhaps this all shouldn’t be surprising given that music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas made a name for herself turning television’s “The O.C.” into an avenue for indie rock exposure, but it’s still a very pleasant surprise to see the music from a “Twilight” film become the “Singles” soundtrack of the aughts.”

Top Movie Trailer of 2010, Eclipse, via Google tracking

“Blockbuster ‘Twilight Eclipse’ has beaten ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’, ‘Iron Man 2’ and ‘A Team’ as the top most searched film trailer on google.

While the film didn’t have the enormous hype of Harry Potter, it was a favorite amongst internet users who search for trailers using google. This was despite the fact it received mixed reviews and was not as highly regarded as the previous outing of the franchise.”

Number Three Charity Auction of the Year, according to Tonic

“3. Meet Robert Pattinson on the set of Twilight: Breaking Dawn, to benefit the GO Campaign — $85,000.
The winner received the chance for four people total to experience first-hand the biggest pop culture phenomenon of the decade as they will spend a day on the set, including the chance to meet the film’s star Robert Pattinson!

This auction package included 2 nights in a Deluxe Executive Suite at the elite Four Season Hotel in Vancouver and VIP limousine service to and from the Breaking Dawn set provided by Star Limousine Services!”

New Moon was the third biggest VOD (video on demand) film for 2010.According to Variety who reported on Comcast’s results,

“The second most popular pic on VOD was “Couples Retreat,” followed by “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” and “Hot Tub Time Machine.”

Coming in at No. 5 was “The Hurt Locker,” which made just $16.4 million in theatrical release. Though that Kathryn Bigelow film was released in 2009, VOD transactions were strong after its six Oscar wins in March.”

New Moon Ranks Number 3 For Video on Demand

December 28, 2010

According to Moviefone, New Moon was the third biggest VOD (video on demand) film for 2010. Comcast, one of the nation’s largest VOD companies traced the surprising results.

1. The Blind Side
2. Couples Retreat
3. Twilight Saga: New Moon
4. Hot Tub Time Machine
5. The Hurt Locker
6. It’s Complicated
7. Shutter Island
8. Date Night
9. The Book of Eli
10. Avatar

Get the full analysis on Moviefone.

It’s interesting because other notable hits of 2009 that hit VOD in 2010 were no place to be found. It also shows what OSCAR buzz can do, when the little known Hurt Locker (also a Summit film) was suddenly launched into awareness in the post theatrical run.

Are you a VOD person? What do you think of the results?
