A Twilight Saga Fansite
There is a lot of criticism hurled at times towards those who create in photoshop that they aren’t “real artists”. After looking at this video, working adeptly in Photoshop is an art form unto itself, lots of finesse is needed as well as an overall artistic sense.
It tool the artist 9 hours using adobe photoshop cs4 to complete the work. You can see his total gallery here.
The UK site Digital Spy has just posted its interviews with Alex Meraz and Booboo Stewart, Kellan Lutz and Nikki Reed, Ashley Greene, and David Slade.
Their David Slade interview is here. They haven’t loaded it to their YouTube Channel yet.
Chelsea is a good friend of Peter Facinelli and Jannie Garth’s. We’re wondering if Peter will be on soon.
Twilight Series Theories has the transcript of this next part of the luncheon discussion four fansites had with Stephenie Meyer.
“TST(Kallie): Ok, I have a question… It is movie related… In Eclipse we get a lot of background for Rosalie, Jasper and the Quileutes. Which I love, love, love! it’s my favorite part of reading the book, and getting to know the characters. So which of the backgrounds are you most excited, or have you been most excited to played out on film?
SM: I found Jasper’s really exciting.
TST(Kallie): That’s what I’m most excited about!
SM: I think that having read them… Well, when I was writing them I really liked the Quileute background.
TST(Kallie): I love the Quileutes, and so for me, I was so excited to see the third wife and all that. But because reading Bree (The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner) I am so excited to see Jackson’s background being played out.
SM: They’re short in the movie, becasue they have to be. That’s always the heartbreak of them. The biology scene… it kills you because you want to see Rob and Kristen do that.
LT: It’ll just be five hours long!
SM: Yah! So it was hard to have them shortened down. I think that Nikki Reed will surprise you in her section, she does so great!”

The folks who run the site Twilight Source and it’s companion the Imprint Podcast, are touring the USA this summer doing live podcasts in a variety of Borders locations.
Andrew Sims, Matt Britton, and Elysa Montfort have done the first two stops in Seattle and San Francisco. Laura Thompson may be joining them in Florida. Tonight they are in San Diego before heading cross-country where they will be in Dallas. The group had Kimmy from His Golden Eyes as a guest on their San Francisco show, and Kallie and Kassie of Twilight Series Theories will be guests on their Dallas show.
By the time the crew heads to the East Coast we will be joining them on two of their stops.
Jen (Be My Escape) will catch up with the crew in Boston (RSVP Facebook)
Laura (Pel) will be there in New York City (RSVP Facebook)
Twilight Source (along with Twilight Series Theories, TwiFans and Letters to Twilight) was a the recent fansite luncheon hosted by Stephenie Meyer.
Imprint is one of our favorite podcasts! Check the guys out if you haven’t before, and hopefully we will see you at one of their stops.
So how do you like Dakota’s dad’s sense of humor?
“On next week’s Billboard 200 albums chart…after “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” smashed box-office records last week, the soundtrack moves up seven spots to #3 (65,000, up 69 percent). ”
In case you missed it, check out our interviews with soundtrack artists Metric, Eastern Conference Champions, and The Bravery.
According to The Numbers:
“As expected, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse had a huge opening on IMAX; in fact, it set a record, pulling in $1 million during midnight screenings alone. This broke the previous record of $950,000 held by Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Over the six days, the film made $9 million on 193 IMAX screens domestically, while it added $235,000 on just 11 IMAX screens internationally.
Also announced this week were the results of IMAX’s second quarter at the box office, and they were impressive. From April to June, IMAX pulled in $115.0 million, which is a 37% increase from the same time last year. It goes without saying that this is much stronger than the industry at large. Over the first six months, IMAX has generated $347.2 million in ticket sales, more than triple last year’s pace.”
This just in from PETA
“For choosing to partner with cruelty-free cosmetics company Avon, Ashley Greene has earned a Kind Choices Award from PETA. Greene will receive a framed certificate and a card signed by PETA staffers.
Greene isn’t the only Twilight star to stick up for animals. Kellan Lutz and Christian Serratos have both teamed up with PETA to fight animal abuse.
Greene is the new face of mark, Avon’s youth-oriented brand. Avon was the first major cosmetics company to adopt a cruelty-free policy—the company ended all animal testing of its products and ingredients in 1989, years before many Twilight fans were born. Over the years, Avon has received PETA awards for its cutting-edge, cruelty-free policies governing not only its cosmetics but also the Avon Foundation’s work against breast cancer.
“Ashley and Avon are to be congratulated for encouraging millions of Twilight fans and other young people to choose makeup that’s fun, not fatal,” says PETA Vice President of Laboratory Investigations Kathy Guillermo. “Thanks to cruelty-free companies such as Avon, you can get a to-die-for look that no animals had to die for.”
