Eclipse to Be Released in Theatres

eclipsebill

Just in time to celebrate Bella’s Birthday on September 13th, Summit Entertainment is re-releasing Eclipse in theaters. Perhaps re-releasing isn’t quite the word since you can still find it in theaters now if you scrounge around and its box office run hasn’t officially closed (and likely won’t until October/November). Here’s what Summit Entertainment put out on their Twitter:

“In celebration of Bella’s birthday, ECLIPSE will be re-released in theatres nationwide this Friday!”

Now given that they will put the movie back into wider distribution, and that the current movie choices are generally considered by most movie blogs as lackluster at best, Eclipse should clean up this weekend.  We’d be stunned if by the time exact figures are released on Monday, Eclipse hasn’t reached the $300,000,000 mark. This will be the first time a predominantly women’s drive movie has reached that mark since Titanic hit it over a decade ago.

So, will one more visit to see Eclipse in theaters this weekend be on your agenda?

Robert Pattinson Wows Fans in Lubbock, Texas

Robert Pattinson and some of his friends took a bit of a road trip. they were recognized when they made a pit-stop in a local bar in Lubbock, Texas. The local Fox affiliate has the story.

According to the FOX coverage:

“Brittni Vivion, a waitress at Crickets said Pattinson went unnoticed for almost four hours before the realization set in.

“He came in around 5 o’clock at our happy hour shift. Nobody really noticed that it was Robert Pattinson until about 9 o’clock and finally a couple of bartenders and waitstaff asked him and then he kind of denied it at first and then eventually he fessed up and said that it was him. And so the word got out and about 20 minutes later we had a rush of girls come in. They were just flaunting themselves over him. We finally had to shut the bar down and not let anybody else in cause it was just crazy, said Vivion.”

Pattinson left the bar at closing time through a back exit. Bystander Marissa Mason described the scence (sic)as a chaotic.”

See more on Fox Lubbock.

The local newspaper the Daily Toreador has similar coverage, including how word got out after Rob had been there for nearly 4 hours unnoticed. This time it was Facebook that was the culprit, not Twitter.

What’s interesting in all of this is that Lubbock, Texas is one heck of a drive from Los Angles. It makes you wonder how many more places they stopped in between and went unnoticed. Looks like Rob still has a chance at being incognito, especially since he managed 4 hours in a bar without being recognized.

Visit the Set of Breaking Dawn…Legally!

Marc Malken over at E! broke the story on this one.

“Picture this: Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and YOU hanging on the set of Breaking Dawn.

Sounds far-fetched, yes? Well, maybe not…

A set visit to Breaking Dawn is up for auction in eBay starting today at 4 p.m. PST. Proceeds benefit Stand Up to Cancer, the organization that works to speed up the research and approval of cancer treatments.”

See more at E!

With a little help from our friends at RPattzNews we found the auction. Just click here.

You may remember the PSA for Stand Up To Cancer that featured Dakota Fanning (see below). In a later interview with ET, Dakota talked about how how cancer has affected her life because both her father’s parents died of cancer.

Robert Pattinson on Entourage?

RobMoviefoneSpreadit TV posted the below description of an upcoming episode of Entourage. They seem to be the only site with this information. It’s not reflected on any other source like TV Guide that typically gets the heads up on show content. So, we’re not really sure what to make of this. Possibly they accidentally released a press release early?  The HBO official site for Entourage has nothing on this.

“Mrs. Ari is still fuming over Ari’s angry meltdown the night before, Ari tries desperately to keep her surprise party on track. The guys attempt to stage an intervention for Vince, who has gone off the deep end. Turtle scrambles to find investors to save the tequila business. Eric receives an unexpected request from Terrance McQuewick, which leads him to consider Scott’s business proposal. Robert Pattinson guest stars as Ari’s most difficult client ever.”

For those of you unfamiliar with the show, Wikipedia has a pretty good summary:

“Entourage is an American comedy-drama television series that premiered on HBO on July 18, 2004. The series was created and is largely written by Doug Ellin and chronicles the acting career of Vincent Chase, a young A-list movie star, and his childhood friends from Queens, New York City, as they navigate the unfamiliar terrain of Hollywood, California.

Mark Wahlberg and Stephen Levinson serve as the show’s executive producers, and its premise is loosely based on Wahlberg’s experiences as an up-and-coming film star. The series deals with themes of male friendship and modern-day situations in real-life Hollywood. The show is famously known for its array of guest stars, usually featuring at least two celebrities per episode. It is also heavily credited on the ability of its leading actors to form the male bond of friendship, which is a leading theme on the show. For this reason, the main actors chosen had to be of New York origin in order to bring the utmost authenticity to the bonds formed among the characters.

On August 7, 2010 HBO announced that Entourage would return in the Summer of 2011 for a shortened season, which will be the show’s last. Although the number of episodes was not officially disclosed, the final season will likely contain six episodes. A film is also planned after the series ends.”

The show is highly critically acclaimed winning and nominated for multiple Golden Globes and Emmy Awards each year. If they were to get Robert Pattinson it would be quite a huge thing for both Rob and the show. Big names, such as James Cameron have become the hallmark of Entourage.

Ty to Karen for the heads up.

In the time it took me to write the article, Gossip Cop just debunked the entire story.

Bree Tanner Movie?

Rumor broke yesterday of a possible Bree Tanner movie. Nothing like trying to verify a rumor on a major holiday weekend! We are trying to see if the story has any validity; however, if the property is in hot negotiation, Summit may not want to talk about it, so stand by, we’ll do the best we can on this one. Casting talk would be way premature on a project that doesn’t have a script, screen writer, or director; however, the other material may have some credibility.

The Australian site What’s Playing broke the news. They generally have a reliable track record and aren’t prone to gossip and unfounded rumor. So take that info for what it’s worth. Here’s part of what they had to say:

“Consider this nothing more than a rumour – if only because our source, though seemingly on the level and able to provide sufficient information to pass the BS detector, is a first-time scooper – but alas, it’s too good not to print, so we are, but with that disclaimer. And, quite frankly, there’s no real reason why this wouldn’t be true.

According to the tipster, who works in licensing, Stephenie Meyer’s book The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner – released in March – is headed to the big screen. Tanner, of course, is a character that popped up ever-so-briefly in this year’s The Twilight Saga : Eclipse.”

See more on What’s Playing.

Oddly enough, we asked Stephenie Meyer about the possibility of a Bree Tanner movie on the Eclipse Black Carpet. (No we had no inside info or agenda, it was just a curiosity question.) Stephenie, as you can see in the video, didn’t discount the idea or state that she was adverse to it. Producer Wyck Godfrey also stated at that time, that he and Stephenie had several irons in the fire. Maybe this was one of them? Check out the video and give us your opinion. What do you think about a Bree Movie?

UPDATE: We checked with Summit regarding the accuracy of the story. An official representative stated, “Everything found online about this topic is at this point pure speculation.

Tinsel Korey, Julia Jones, and Alex Meraz Grab Some Sugar in Las Vegas

Our friends over at the Quileute Wolfpack site (which by the way is an awesome site for anyone who is Team Jacob focused!) were in Las Vegas to cover an in-store appearance by Alex Meraz, Tinsel Korey, and Julia Jones.

Here’s part of the account:

“I had rushed to Planet Hollywood at a little past 2:00pm, thinking I was going to be really late for the Sugar Factory appearance, and it didn:t help very much that I had my 16-month old in tow. I found “Princess Parking” on the 4th floor and expertly unfolded the stroller. So there I was, rushing through the Miracle Mile Shopping area, pushing the stroller like a professional F-1 racer through the crowds. But when I got to the Sugar Factory at a little past 2:30pm, I discovered that there was still an awaiting crowd.

I leisurely got tothe back of the make-shift line, and as unsuspecting tourists walked by, they all asked the same question – “What’s this line for?” to which I answered, “Some of the actors from Twilight are here .”

Reactions varied from “OMG! I have to take pics!” to “Twilight? Meh” to “What’s Twilight?” (Seriously? Are you just visiting our planet?)”

Nikki Reed: Gurl Magazine Interview

Nikki_Photo_dosomethignWe just got to meet Nikki Reed at the Creation Entertainment Official Twilight Convention in Minneapolis. What really strikes you is Nikki’s openness with the fans the very different life that she has lead, not at all the typical Hollywood starlet story.

In part of her interview, to talk about her new movie The Last Day of Summer, Nikki talks about how hard it is for young girls to find themselves and her take how to pick your path.

Ok, so aside from getting braces, what advice would you give gURLs who also feel like they don’t really fit in?

I think it’s important for people to experience. I don’t like when advice is given and it just feels so unrealistic, like, “Oh, just stay true to yourself and don’t ever join the cool crowd.” So just experiment and experience everything, but to a limit. Mildly. See things and do things but don’t lose yourself and don’t forget yourself in the process because it’s really so minor in the grand scheme of things.

So true. Thanks for the reminder! We needed that!

Yeah! Even now at 22, I’m just starting to grasp the concept that there’s so much life ahead of me. It really becomes more about your family and your life so just make good choices and take care of yourself. If you wanna party and stuff and that’s what you feel you need to do, then try to do good in school also so that you can get somewhere. ”

See the whole interview on Gurl.

For those of you doing last minute back-to-school shopping this weekend (believe it or not school hasn’t started yet for those of us who are in the Northeast) Nikki has an ongoing campaign with DoSomething.org to get school supplies to kids who need them.
