Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Adaptation, Drama, Science Fiction, Sequels, Trailers, Upcoming Releases,
“As long as we get to kill some vampires.”
Although I haven’t yet read past the first Twilight book, there is one thing I can say with absolute certainty about this new Eclipse trailer: There are a lot of vampires in this clip—enough to make a whole army.
Like what you see? Then be sure to tune in May 13 to Oprah—that’s when Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner all visit the talk show queen.
The movie will then open on June 30, just over two months from now.

Robert Pattinson Fears Non-Twilight Films
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Drama, Romance, Science Fiction, Sequels, Thrillers, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Filmmaking, Rumors, Upcoming Releases,
Despite already landing roles outside of the vampire series, Robert Pattinson finds taking on work outside of the Twilight franchise “scary.”
The actor, who plays vampire Edward Cullen in the hit movie series, says that it is more difficult to take on new roles now that he is so famous because there are so many things to consider.
“You get offered stuff that you would never dream of getting offered before, but that’s also scary. You don’t have to audition for anything. But I don’t want to do a movie just so it gets made. You have to question yourself a lot more. Before Twilight, I did any movie that I got offered, and you’d try and make the best of it afterwards. But now, you’re expected to come into the movie and provide not only economic viability, but also a performance as well. You can’t just mess around. People are like, ‘We’re employing you to be here, as a star and an actor.’ It’s difficult, and it’s scary.”
After recently working on the third Twilight movie, Eclipse, Robert is looking forward to taking on some radically different projects before getting to work on fourth installment Breaking Dawn.
“I think the tentative time for Breaking Dawn is fall next year. Depending on how things go, I’m doing a movie called Bel Ami in February, an adaptation to a Guy de Maupassant novel. And I’m doing - I hope - a Western with Rachel Weisz and Hugh Jackman called Unbound Captives sometime around there as well. They’ve got to try and juggle things around until everybody’s schedules work.”
Robert Pattinson Can Beat Jacob, Not Taylor
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Drama, Romance, Science Fiction, Sequels, Thrillers, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, New Releases,
Despite my leaning towards anything in favor of vampires, I must admit that it’s obvious who won the abs contest between Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson. So who would win between Edward Cullen and Jacob Black? Pattinson seems to have it all figured out—based on the books, of course:
“Looking at Taylor’s martial-arts videos from when he was, like, 9, I wouldn’t really want to do anything [to make him angry]. Maybe if I had some kind of weapon. But if Edward and Jacob [fought], I think it’s actually a fact that Edward would win I think, if I read the books correctly. So I guess I could hold onto that for my ego.”
I don’t know what movie you were watching, Robert, but… (vague spoilers after the break!)

Robert Pattinson Reveals Twilight Message
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Action, Adaptation, Drama, Romance, Science Fiction, Sequels, Thrillers, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, New Releases,
Robert Pattinson believes the Twilight movies are a metaphor for sexual abstinence.
The 23-year-old star’s character, vampire Edward Cullen, is unable to have a sexual relationship with a human because he fears that if he goes further than a kiss, his emotions and the power of his body may injure his beloved.
But the British actor thinks the abstinence makes the films even sexier, because the central characters are unable to do anything about their lust for one another.
“The success of the Twilight books comes from the fact that fans can lust after Edward and yet, certainly in the first book, there’s no actual sexual contact between him and the series heroine. Twilight is a big metaphor for sexual abstinence, and yet it’s erotic underneath. There are so many elements in the story which are sexy.”
The books which the films are based on were written by Stephenie Meyer, a Mormon who does not believe in sex before marriage. The latest film in the series, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, has already taken over $230 million and has turned Robert, the leading man, into a global heartthrob.
Taylor Lautner Tormented at School
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Action, Adaptation, Drama, Romance, Science Fiction, Thrillers, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, New Releases,
Despite his overwhelming good looks and charm, Taylor Lautner was bullied at school.
The Twilight Saga: New Moon actor says fellow pupils used to ridicule his acting ambitions, which affected his confidence but he refused to give up on his dream.
“I was never extremely confident. Because I was an actor, when I was in school there was a little bullying going on. Not physical bullying but people making fun of what I do… I just had to tell myself I can’t let this get to me. This is what love to do. And I’m going to continue to do it.”
The 17-year-old star also insisted the female attention he receives is for his character, werewolf Jacob Black, not himself.
He told America’s Rolling Stone magazine, “This could have happened to anybody who played Jacob. I was just lucky enough to be the one that has the opportunity. I’m so grateful. It’s Twilight. It’s not me personally.”
Ashley Greene Loves Blood-Sucker Sex
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Action, Adaptation, Drama, Romance, Science Fiction, Sequels, Thrillers, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, New Releases,
When she’s not beating up guys, Ashley Greene is thinking that vampire sex is 100 times better than normal sex.
The Twilight Saga: New Moon star - who is believed to be dating Kings Of Leon rocker Jared Followill - has revealed she believes her blood-sucking on-screen persona Alice Cullen would have a much more fulfilling sex life than she does.
“Take the best sex you’ve ever had in your life, multiply it by 100 and that’s vampire sex.”
The 22-year-old actress was desperate to star in the popular vampire franchise and wishes she was more like her character: “Oh, my God, I wanted this part so badly. So when they told me I got it, I tried to play it all cool, you know, for about a minute. I love absolutely love Alice, my character. She’s sweet, sexy and a killer. I feel if I was in a real fight, I’d get my a*s kicked.”
Meanwhile, the brunette beauty has revealed there is another film franchise she wants to appear in. She explained to Maxim magazine, “I want to hit up James Bond. That would be awesome.”
When you’re in a record-breaking film, I suppose that you can aim for such franchises.
Blind Side Eclipses New Moon on Thanksgiving
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Action, Adaptation, Drama, Romance, Science Fiction, Sequels, Thrillers, Box Office, Celebrity Gossip, New Releases, Rumors,
Despite predicted dominance at the box office this Thanksgiving weekend, Twi-hards seemed to be too busy stuffing their faces with food to keep up with movie-goers set to see Sandra Bullock‘s football drama The Blind Side.
Raking in $9.5 million, The Blind Side rushed ahead (barely) of New Moon, which received $9.2 million—raising its cumulative total to $188.4 million.
Will this keep up the rest of the holiday weekend? While I certainly do not possess Alice Cullen’s psychic abilities, I’ve surmised ten reasons as to why the latest installment of The Twilight Saga could be losing its box office grip.

Man Basher Ashley Greene
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Action, Adaptation, Drama, Romance, Science Fiction, Sequels, Thrillers, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, New Releases, Upcoming Releases,
Word to the wise, guys: don’t make Ashley Greene angry.
The Twilight Saga: New Moon actress is a huge fan of martial arts and says it makes her feel empowered when she practices her skills on men.
“I think part of it is that it’s really empowering and part of it is because it’s fun. It’s incredible to see what your body can do and what you’re capable of and not needing a weapon to defend yourself is a really great thing. It puts my dad at ease and gives him a little piece of mind. I started doing martial arts when I was really young and I ended up sparring with boys instead of girls because I was that into it and I didn’t want to beat up the girls. It’s a fun thing and I’ve always been really athletic.”
Ashley, 22, is planning on increasing her martial arts training after being put through her paces by the trainers on the third installment of the vampire franchise The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.
“I’m definitely going to get more involved in it. When we were filming Eclipse we had fight training for about six weeks, so that kind of re-sparked that bug. I had a personal trainer on top of that and they had us do mixed martial arts fighting as well.”

New Moon Already Breaks Box Office Record
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Adaptation, Drama, Romance, Science Fiction, Sequels, Thrillers, Box Office, New Releases, Rumors,
We all knew that the opening for New Moon was going to be big, but did we actually think it was going to beat out The Dark Knight and Harry Potter? Well, it did.
Rival studios reveal that the latest Twilight film took in an estimated $23-$24 million in midnight screenings alone; this surpasses The Dark Knight‘s $18.4 million record as well as Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince‘s $22.2 million. Summit Entertainment has not yet released an official number.
With a record like that, who’s to say that the vampire-werewolf crew can’t tag-team against Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen‘s current #1 spot of the year, at its $108.9 million weekend opening? With Twi-hards’ dedication, they might even give The Dark Knight a run for its money—its weekend opening did $158.4 million at the box office.
Let’s be honest here—who needs viral marketing when you have Edward Cullen and Jacob Black?
