MTV: Tell us what fans can expect from the third ‘Twilight’ movie ‘Eclipse?’ Taylor: If you’re a fan of the book, then you’re going to love the movie. We had a lot of fun making it and for me I’d have to say Eclipse was my favourite book and I’d say the movie turned out really well. Kristen: It definitely steps it up in terms of action. There’s more of it going on, less within the dynamics of the characters and more about the introduction of newborns and the volturi comeback. There’s more danger, there’s much more at risk. MTV: Twilight is so huge, what’s it like being involved with such a phenomenon? K: For me it’s been so different from anything I thought I’d ever be a part of. I’ve always said that I never wanted to do a TV series because it’s too long, it’s too much of a commitment, it’s too structured. But it’s actually the coolest thing to be able to follow a character for so long. Because at the end of most movies I feel like I’m ripped away from a project but in this case it’s so indulgent, it’s like I get months to work on just one character and then I get to do it again next year, its really cool. MTV: How close are you really as a cast? T: We’ve spent a lot of time together so we’ve all grown very close and we’re all really good friends. I mean it would be a nightmare doing this series if we didn’t like each other, it would be bad, so thankfully we all get along and have a lot of fun. MTV: What do you think you’d be doing if you weren’t in ‘Twilight’? K: I have no idea. T: I don’t know, and I don’t really want to think about it! I’m just thankful it happened in the first place. MTV: We hear you’ve seen some tourist attractions including Featherdale Wildlife Park since you’ve been in Oz. How was that? T: It was really good. K: Yeah it was incredible! You cant believe like a wallaby hops in and u can pick them up and put them in your pouch, it just doesn’t seem real. T: Number one hit for me was definitely the baby dingos, they were adorable. MTV: If you came across the ‘Harry Potter’ cast would there be any rivalry between you? T: (Laughs) I don’t think so, I’m a fan of those movies. K: I am too. The books came out when I was pretty young so I’ve read them. T: I haven’t met them though. K: Neither have I. But Rob is one of them, kind of, and he really likes them, he speaks highly of them. MTV: If you could be a werewolf or a vampire in real life, which would you be? T: If I had to choose to be a vampire or a werewolf in real life, which is an unfortunate situation, I’d probably have to stick with being a werewolf. K: I’d be a werewolf too. There’s just so many less problems. MTV: So you don’t want to live forever? K: Nope, definitely not! MTV: You’re up for ‘Best Kiss’ and ‘Global Superstar’ at the MTV Movie Awards. Do you think you’ll win? K: Well I think me and Dakota are going to take it for Best Kiss for sure. T: Yesss! K: That would be so funny and awesome. T: That would be hilarious. I don’t think that’s ever happened before. Girl on girl or guy on guy winning it at the MTV Movie Awards. K: No I don’t think so either so that would be cool. T: We’ll see. It’s an honour to be nominated. MTV: The ‘Eclipse’ soundtrack is pretty epic, but what is your personal favourite song from a movie? T: I’d have to say that Amy Adams song in Enchanted. K: (Laughs) I love u so much. Will u marry me? Seriously. MTV: The series finale of ‘Jersey Shore’ has just aired on MTV Australia. Are you a fan of the show? K: I haven’t seen it, but I know people make fun of people with it, like ‘you’re like him from Jersey Shore,’ apparently it’s bad. MTV: One of the characters The Situation is famous for his abs. Taylor do you reckon yours are better than his? T: (Laughs) Probably not, but I guess I’d have to see them. K: Ohh they’re better! |

HYSTERICAL screams, tears and even a marriage proposal greeted Twilight werewolf Taylor Lautner when he braved a public appearance before 4000 fans last night. More than 4000 Twi-hards packed Luna Park last night in the hope of quizzing Lautner and his co-star Kristen Stewart. With the gloomy weather befitting the dark vampire love story, the fans’ loyalty paid off when their idols walked the soggy black carpet stopping for photos and hugs. The deafening screams of the predominantly young girls could be heard across the Harbour.

Moviehole brings us this exclusive info about upcoming films for Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner. If you have been wondering about those Wanted 2 rumors, Kristen doesn’t exactly answer the question, but she doesn’t deny it either (she’s so good at avoiding questions!). Also, Taylor talks about when Stretch Armstrong is expected to film. In addition to discussing “Eclipse” and the upcoming “Breaking Dawn” (“I can’t wait to see Renesmee!”, said Kristen; “We have a very good director behind us who can help with that” added Taylor), I also had the opportunity to quiz Stewart on those “Wanted 2″ rumours and get a “Stretch Armstrong” update out of the wonderfully-ribbed Lautner. SOURCE: Movie Hole Yay for the start of “Abduction” next month!!! That means more photos of Taylor shooting the movie! |

30. In a desperate hunt for ratings, CNN’s Anderson Cooper devotes an hour to “Eclipse” coverage. 29. Several teenage girls will rush out to see director David Slade’s earlier movies and be very disturbed by “Hard Candy” and “30 Days of Night.” 28. The five fans who saw “The Runaways” will watch the Dakota/Kristen scenes in “Eclipse” with a completely new subtext. 27. Duh, MTV viewers picking “New Moon” over “Avatar” for best picture at the MTV Movie Awards. 26. Just like with “New Moon’s” Chris Weitz, fans and the stars all of a sudden fall in love with David Slade if and when they love the movie (and yes, it’s too late for him to direct “Breaking Dawn”). 25. The semi-annual scuttlebutt about Taylor Lautner’s workout regime returns. Our guess? P90-X. 24. One of the secondary actors confirms “Breaking Dawn” will be two films before the studio has a chance to announce it (place your bets who messes up). 23. The massive premiere will feature more guest celebrities not associated with the franchise then you’d ever expect. And we’re not talking the Kardashians, we mean real stars: Snooki and The Situation. 22. A deluge of articles in the media about the one movie that’s going to disappoint at the box office over the July 4th weekend (and no, it’s not “Eclipse”). “Knight and Day” or “The Last Airbender”? Who loses? 21. With the return of the HBO series on June 13, the never-ending “True Blood” vs. “Twilight” debate will stir up once again. 20. People showing up at the theaters the first week in Team Rachelle shirts and then the same people showing up a week later with Team Bryce shirts. 19. Jumping on the bandwagon, ESPN will interview Robert Pattinson and quickly discover he knows little about baseball – American or Vampire. 18. Lakers forward (and possible NBA champ) Ron Artest will crash the premiere across from Staples Center. Why? Well, you obviously don’t know Ron… 17. The struggle to see if Anna Kendrick has any more screentime now that she’s “Oscar Nominee” Anna Kendrick (or if she’ll show at the premiere at all). 16. Soundtrack artist Metric has their biggest U.S. hit ever with “Eclipse (all yours).” (Well, at least on iTunes). 15. The inevitable lamentations that the ever-creepy Dakota Fanning isn’t in the movie more. Just wait for “Breaking Dawn,” kids. 14. Staples Center patrons wondering where all the screaming is coming from during Laker playoff games the weekend of June. 11-13 (it’s not from inside the arena, it’s from the Twilight Convention across the street at the LA Convention Center). 13. Despite a massive publicity push, even “Twilight” fans won’t know who Xavier Daniels is [whoops - because his name is Xavier Samuels - and they still won't know.] 12. A scene with Taylor Lautner shirtless will debut on the MTV Movie Awards. Cue: girls screaming. 11. In a stunner to non-”Twilight” fans, “Eclipse” will get better reviews than “Robin Hood,” “Iron Man 2,” “Shrek Forever After,” “Prince of Persia” and, of course, “Sex and the City 2.” 10. A 13-year-old girl will freak out at her mother because mom forgot to buy tickets early for opening day and now the movie is sold out…in St. Louis. 9. Lots and lots of questions about “Breaking Dawn.” Like, lots. 8. Lots and lots of questions about whether “Breaking Dawn” will be in 3-D. 7. Lots and lots of questions about how “Breaking Dawn” will avoid being R-rated. 6. IMAX will figure out some way to keep “Dawn” on their screens past the two-week “special engagement.” Cha-ching. 5. Three Entertainment Weekly covers before opening. Wait, how silly of us, there’s more than enough time for four. 4. Endless analysis on how the San Diego economy will be affected by the “Twilight” cast taking this Comic-Con off. 3. President Obama is dragged to the local theater with Secret Service in tow because 13-year-old Malia is obsessed. 2. If you see it on opening day: lots of high-pitched screaming. 1. Only 506 days until “Breaking Dawn.” Source: Hit Fix |

Post Categories: Breaking Dawn
Twilight film studio Summit Entertainment has just announced that the “Cullen” cast members of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn are intact (and Billy Burke)! Here’s the full language of the press release:
Notice that the press release is carefully crafted so as not to confirm the big three – Robert Pattinson Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner. All accounts of their contract negotiations situation, though, have been positive, so it’s probably just a matter of paperwork for those three at this point. In other words, they’ll still be in the movie (of course!), but they probably can’t be confirmed on paper til the writing’s on the wall. Still, how do you feel about this news about the “Cullen” actors? Is it a relief, or were you never quite concerned? Source: Examiner |

GRAND RAPIDS — Wouldn’t be cool if Taylor Lautner could show off his native Michigan to co-stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart while filming “Breaking Dawn” — the fourth and final installment of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series?
If there is any truth to the rumor floating around that Louisiana is being considered because of its generous film tax incentives, Michigan might have a shot. Percentage-wise, Michigan’s incentives — which offer up to a 42 percent tax break — are higher than Louisiana’s 25 percent tax break. This Gulf Coast state also throws in an additional 10 percent for crew hired from the state, Lockwood said. But Michigan caps its tax credits for salaries at $2 million, which isn’t the case in Louisiana, she said. There might be some terrain issues with Michigan filling in for the northern Washington town of Forks, the setting of the teenage vampire love story. Michigan’s forests lack the peaks of the northwest. Although none of the first three films were made in Washington, they were filmed in surrounding Pacific Northwest. Twilight was made in Oregon while New Moon and the soon-to-be-released Eclipse were filmed in Vancouver, Canada. What Michigan lacks in mountains, it makes up in sandy beaches which could be perfect for the tropical island setting where vampire Edward Cullen and his bride Bella honeymoon. “We could play the Caribbean easily,” Lockwood said. The only problem is filming wouldn’t begin until after summer. Source: M Live |

EXCITED Twilight star Kristen Stewart goes for a run, claps, let’s out a “whoop!” and gets a huge laugh and an applause from co-star Taylor Lautner moments after they enjoyed a thrilling one-hour jet boat ride around Sydney Harbour. The pair headed out into the world famous bay just five hours after landing in Australia for the spectacular adrenalin ride, which is hugely popular with tourists. As they got off the boat after the one-hour ride, Kristen and Taylor shook themselves to get rid of some of the water. Kristen then took off on a run, taking off on foot along one of Sydney’s picturesque wharfs. At one point she jumped in the air, clapped, yelled “whoop! C’mon!” then ran off around a corner followed by her concerned entourage. Taylor found it all incredibly funny and burst out laughing, and applauded his friend Kristen as she took off on foot. He then said he found the whole boat experience: “Very good.” Kristen, wearing a black hoodie and black jeans, and Taylor, in a plaid shirt and grey slacks, plus their entourage left their exclusive hotel at lunchtime on Sunday (May 30) to board the boat, called Hammer, run by Oz Jet Boating. The fiery-red boat has a huge shark’s eyes and teeth painted at its front and flames shooting out of the rear. It can travel at 85km/h and can perform 270-degree spins and the boat has more than 700 horsepower Cummins Diesel engines with Hamilton jet units on it for extra power. After climbing on board, Kristen, who had also put on a large beanie hat and shades, let out a “Whoo yeah!” Taylor, also hiding behind some Ray Bans, looked down at his feet and smiled. From Circular Quay, they headed out into the bay for a thrilling ride, with views of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House. Then – soaking wet from the sea spray – they departed the boat at Walsh Bay, an upmarket area with fancy bars and restaurants. Other stars to recently enjoy the ride include singer Pink, actor Paul Walker and George Michael. Kristen, who plays Bella Swan, and Taylor, who plays Jacob Black, are in Australia to promote their new movie, Twilight: Eclipse. SOURCE: Monster and Critics |
