The DVD launch of NEW MOON commenced this past Saturday morning with 7,000 retail locations nationwide taking part in events at midnight giving fans their first chance to obtain a DVD of the film.
Thousands of TWILIGHT fans across the nation participated in the “NEW MOON at Midnight” event and some were treated to surprise appearances by members of the cast as well as the film’s director.

Summit Entertainment’s Co-Chairmen Rob Friedman and Patrick Wachsberger stated, “Once again the incredibly dedicated fans of the TWILIGHT SAGA came out in massive numbers this weekend for the opportunity to be one of the first take home the second movie in the series. As we have said all along, the fans are what make this franchise and we once again thank them for their support.”
“The support that we have received from our retail partners in accommodating the incredible demand for the title has been nothing short of amazing,” said Steve Nickerson, Summit’s President of Home Entertainment. “The ground we have broken with in-store partnerships and the availability of this title has been a positive influence on the retail DVD business.”

M magazine was at the New Moon DVD release!

This weekend was the DVD release of New Moon, and M Magazine was the only teen mag to be at the official midnight release party in NYC! Along with the first 50 fans, we hung out with Peter Facinelli, who plays Dr. Carlisle Cullen in the movie!

Peter surprised the fans with a round of trivia, and as he asked the questions, he also made a lot of jokes! When one fan got a question wrong, he joked that she should leave, and when she said that she was Team Carlisle, he said, "Team Carlisle? You can stay!"
While talking with everyone, he said things like, "Car-lizzle for shizzle!" and "Hollaaa! Bet you never thought you'd hear Carlisle say 'holla!'" He even asked one fan what Carlisle's middle name was, and paused before saying, "Just kidding! It's Bartholomew. No, I'm kidding!" LOL!

Robert Pattinson Wax Figure To Be Unveiled At Madam Tussauds In New York City!



We previously posted Robert Pattinson will be joining Madam Tussuads wax museum.   The unveiling of the Robert Pattinson wax figure will be in New York City.   Here’s some information from the Madam Tussauds Facebook. 
EXCITED CROWDS OF TWILIGHT FANS TO UNVEIL WAX FIGURE OF HOLLYWOOD HEARTTHROB “R-PATTZ” AT MADAME TUSSAUDS NY
Crowds of screaming fans will flood Times Square to help unveil a wax figure of Hollywood heartthrob Robert Pattinson on Thursday, March 25 at 10:30 a.m. at Madame Tussauds New York, 234 West 42nd St. (b/w 7th & 8th Aves.), Manhattan. After the unveiling, fans will be able to cozy up to R-Pattz’s figure for photos and even a hug. Once immortalized (in wax), the Twilight vampire and Remember Me star will join the likes of Johnny Depp, George Clooney, Sean “Diddy” Combs and Leonardo DiCaprio – all of whom have wax figures in the famed Times Square wax attraction.
Pattinson’s figure is dressed in black trousers and fitted shirt. A jacket in a contrasting color finishes off his young, hip look. R-Pattz’s wax likeness also sports the actor’s signature tousled locks, which fans are invited to run their fingers through. Each strand of hair was inserted one-by-one by the Tussauds studio artists, who created the figure. They spent hundreds of hours studying photos and watching video footage of Pattinson to create the incredibly lifelike figure, which is posed standing up with hands on hips and will be housed in the “Opening Night Party” section of Madame Tussauds New York.
The first 100 fans who arrive to see R-Pattz’s figure on the day it is unveiled will receive free Pattinson and Twi-hard gear, as well as free admission to the attraction. Fans both young and old, often referred to as “Twi-hards,” can’t seem to get enough of R-Pattz. The young British actor became an overnight sensation following his portrayal of Edward Cullen, the beloved vampire in the film adaptation of Twilight. With a loyal following stretching across multiple continents, Pattinson is one of today’s hottest stars. In fact, Madame Tussauds London will also unveil a figure of R.Pattz on the same day as Madame Tussauds New York.
R-Pattz’s fans and representatives from Madame Tussauds NY will be available for interviews on site.

Is Robert Pattinson a Movie Star or Just a Teen Idol?



No one’s really brought it up, but the release of Robert Pattinson’s film Remember Me by Hollywood’s A-list standards didn’t exactly produce overwhelming numbers.  With that being said, the next question is, Is RPatz a movie star or just a teen sensation?
Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderlandremains queen of the box office, but Robert Pattinson’s romantic drama, Remember Me, raked in an underwhelming $3,300,000 on 2,215 screens during its second weekend — for a paltry total of $13,900,000. Even more shocking is that it came in at number 10 under the practically unheard of Our Family Wedding, which begs the question — why is one of the hottest male stars raking in forgettable box office numbers?
Granted, $13.9 million isn’t the end of the world since Emilie de Ravin’s tale about a rebellious young man who meets the love of his life after a family tragedy only had a budget of $16 million — but it certainly suggests that Robert Pattinson isn’t the draw for fans, but the character Edward Cullen is. People fell in love with Cullen while reading Stephanie Meyer’s books and then became enamored with Pattinson through the films. Finally, legions of fangirls had their immortal boyfriend personified on screen and the spell seems near impossible to break. Pattinson’s young female fan base doesn’t really want to see him falling in love with anyone other than Bella and his character Tyler in Remember Me wasn’t the hopeless romantic clamoring for his lady love — in fact, previews for the film looked seriously depressing and far too dreary for the teen crowd that has come to adore him.
So, can Robert Pattinson have a successful career after the Twilight series ends? What’s the best way for him to transition from Edward to another character? Does he need to choose a completely different role or will that cause his fan base to abandon him entirely? Or is he destined to become this generation’s Mark Hamill — for example, so linked to a single character that no one wants to risk casting him in anything besides movies featuring glittery vampires?

Kristen Stewart Struggled With Singing, Talks about Dakota Fanning


 
Eclipse star Kristen Stewart has had much on her plate in the past couple of years. So when she decided to take on the role of legendary rocker Joan Jett in the film The Runaways, it probably didn’t dawn on her…she isn’t much of a singer.
Kristen Stewart had difficulty singing when portraying Joan Jett in ‘The Runaways’.
The 19-year-old actress instantly knew she wanted the role of rocker Joan in the movie, but had problems with the singing aspect of the film.
She revealed: “I said that I wanted to do it as soon as someone said, ‘There’s a Joan Jett movie, and they want you to play her.’
“You do a movie for a million reasons, and I realized once I got into it that there was a lot more to Joan than I knew about.
“The most difficult thing was the performances, because I’m not a performer. The singing stuff, you learn so much about yourself. I don’t know how to be more specific about it.”
Her co-star in the movie, 16-year-old Dakota Fanning – who plays fellow Runaways band member Cherie Curie – says her and Kristen have become very close since filming.
She told America’s OK! magazine: “She’s become one of my best friends. We’re really close. I think it’s really great working with your friends, and to be completely open with someone and to have no defense mechanism, you know what I mean? Just completely open with that person. I love that – especially for this film.”

Peter Facinelli:”Eclipse is Dangerous and Deadly”



Best Buy was yet another store that hosted a New Moon Midnight DVD release party. The location: New York. The guest: Twilight Saga dad Peter Facinelli (aka Carlisle Cullen) there he gave us his thoughts on Eclipse and declared that with most Twilight fans — Eclipse is indeed his favorite book -
“You have the love triangle, and within that, there’s a looming presence that’s threatening the family, so there’s a lot going on within our family,” he said, adding that the “threat” majorly affects the patriarch’s ability to make important decisions. ”Carlisle is used to getting information and having that information through Edward, who can read minds, and Alice, who can read the future, so that communication is shut off and we’re not quite sure where this threat is coming from,” Peter continued. “We know it’s there, we know it’s dangerous and deadly.”
So what’s the almighty coven leader to do? “Carlisle’s kind of got to keep it together and protect his family. He’s kind of flying with blinders on.”
If that promise of action isn’t enough to keep your mouth watering for “Eclipse,” Peter said (like most of the rest of the cast has before him), “We have some great battle sequences in there. It’s a really good story.”
Repeat after me June 30th…June 30th lol
