Reminder: 'Twilight Night' event to be live-streamed by Moviefone for fans that can't make it


'Twilight' - Summit Ent., L.L.C.
The "Twilight Night" event announced last week (the one with outdoor screenings of Twilight and The Twilight Saga: New Moon during the lunar eclipse on June 26th) is only available for attendance by fans in those twelve cities listed, and Twilight film studio Summit Entertainment has just reminded us that those of us who cannot make it to those events will be able to watch the event on live-stream via Moviefone!
The cities which will be participating in the "Twilight Night" event include Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Miami, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, Salt Lake City, St. Louis, San Diego, Seattle, and Washington, D.C. Cast appearances at the events are expected, and Moviefone's live-stream will be from the Philadelphia and San Diego venues.
The live-stream from those locations "will include interviews with cast, fan reactions, special guests and sneak peeks of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE, allowing those unable to attend to still take part in the celebration."

As a reminder, Billy Burke's first music album launches today, starting at 12:00 p.m. EST, and he has sent along an e-mail update to his subscribers to state that the first batch of physical CD copies are very limited and that fans will want to be at or near their computers to be among the first to receive the album at the noon release.
Additionally, Burke had an interview with Radar Online where he talked about his favorite scene in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse as well as how he enjoys working co-star Kristen Stewart.
"Bella and I have a scene in the kitchen where it’s get a little awkward . . . I feel compelled to have the talk with her about sex and being safe and all that . . . even right now I’m getting nervous about it," he said. "I really like working with Kristen. She and I kind of work in a very similar way. She doesn’t do a lot of over-thinking, over-preparation and I don’t either."
Though Burke has proven himself to be musically inclined - especially recently - he reveals in the interview that he hasn't been invited to the infamous Twilight cast jam sessions in the hotel just yet. Perhaps for Breaking Dawn . . . Though, he is "Removed."

Robert Pattinson's wax figure will arrive in Hollywood on 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' premiere day

Madame Tussaud's wax figure for Robert Pattinson has been previously seen in London and New York, but it'll be headed to Hollywood, California this week just in time for the world premiere of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.
"Fans can cozy up with Pattinson at our A-List Party Room Stage in his trademark sultry expression and messy hair, and his outfit will reflect his rugged style with an open collared shirt and skinny trousers for a unique photo-op and a sure way to make all your friends jealous," Madame Tussaud's website reports.
The company is also hosting a sweepstakes with a prize of four tickets to see the figure in Hollywood (for L.A. and Orange County residents), and you can find out more about that here.
A lot of Twilight fans have issued mixed reactions to the figure - some finding it to be a spot-on resemblance of the actor and others finding it to be quite different.
US Weekly reported, though, that Pattinson at least had a hand in the wardrobing of the figure.

Twilight' producer speaks out as to why 'Eclipse' will be more loved than 'New Moon'


'THe Twilight Saga: Eclipse' - Summit Ent.
 Twilight series producer Wyck Godfrey has delivered his opinion as to why The Twilight Saga: Eclipse will be the fan favorite of the three.
"[T]he word we’ve gotten is that it lives up to and exceeds people’s expectations," he told IESB.net. "The hard thing about New Moon, for instance, was that, for the people that loved Jacob, they loved the movie, but Edward’s not in it much. Here’s a movie now where Edward is back in the picture, and it’s all about Bella and her choice between the two of them, and the conflict that arises out of that. It’s just got more drama than the other two books. There’s just more going on between her emotional state, but also the physical state and what’s happening with the Newborns. You feel like, all of a sudden, in this movie, all of the external dangers of the world are descending on Forks, and it’s on."
Godfrey also explained that he thinks that Eclipse is more guy-friendly than the others because "it has more genre elements than New Moon and Twilight" but also promised that "it’s the most emotionally potent of the three, so we haven’t betrayed our core audience, who really are going for the romance because it’s heartbreaking."
What was the phrase David Slade used? Ah, yes . . . "a great state of balance." Indeed, fans have been inundated with the concept that this film is action-packed and thusly suitable for a broader audience (not that the Saga really needs any more fans, we are aplenty), but it's nice to hear Godfrey's words about the "romance" and "emotional potency" of the movie as well, isn't it? The truth of the matter is that Wyck Godfrey's right. The film does lend itself to a bigger audience but it is very truthful to the story, and the seemingly universal fan reaction coming off of it so far is that it has matched and exceeded expectations . . . and it's only a matter of days before the world gets to weigh in on that!

Radar Online Exclusive Interview With Billy Burke


Radaronline.com has an exclusive video interview with Billy Burke (aka Charlie Swan/Bella’s dad).  Billy talked about his new album, Removed, which was released today June 22nd, working with Eclipse director David Slade and a scene with Bella and Charlie about the safe sex talk.    Go to radaronline.com to watch the video interview with Billy!
Just days before the premiere of the Twilight Saga: Eclipse, Billy Burke, who plays Bella’s father Charlie Swan, has a full schedule releasing a new album and performing a concert.
In an exclusive video interview with RadarOnline.com at the Gibson Showroom in Beverly Hills, Billy talked about the album Removed, revealed his awkward moments on set with Kristen Stewart and joked about how the cast dissed him at their jam sessions.
As Bella’s father, Billy dished to RadarOnline.com reporter Alexis Tereszcuk about his favorite scene in Eclipse.
“Bella and I have a scene in the kitchen, where it gets a little awkward – I feel compelled to have the talk with her about sex and being safe and all that. Even right now I’m getting a little nervous about it”, he admitted.

Billy told Radaronline.com he enjoys working with Kristen because they both have the same acting method.
“We get our idea of what we would like to see happen and we just throw it out there.”
The Twilight cast members are all musically talented.
Robert Pattinson plays the guitar and Jackson is in a band, but the late night jam sessions they all have after hours seem to have left someone out.
“Haven’t been invited, thanks guys,” Burke joked.
Billy is in good company with the Twilight cast musicians and complimented them despite his snub.
“Rob’s very talented, Jackson’s very talented, Kristen even plays a little bit.”
Removed is available on Billy’s website and is being released on Tuesday, June 22.
Billy is having his first concert the same night at the famous House of Blues in Hollywood.
He confessed, “I haven’t played live in about 14 years. At rehearsal, two nights before the show, it all came together. It sounded much like the record, which is what we were after.”
Find out in the RadarOnline.com exclusive video interview if Billy is keeping his famous stache in the upcoming Twilight movie.
“It’s the best of the series,” Billy said about Eclipse, which hits theaters on June 30, 2010.

Thank you Andrea @ Radaronline.com!

Daily Mail UK: The World According To Ashley Greene


Dailymail UK has a great article/interivew with Ashley Greene (aka Alice Cullen).
The actress on playing saintly vampire Alice Cullen, how she reacts to hysterical Twilight fans and why she’s no fashionista
Ashley Greene has a way of making everything seem easy. Effortlessly chic, she possesses a raw acting talent that seems as natural as breathing. She advanced from total obscurity to the cover of Vanity Fair with such little fuss it’s as if it was delivered to her on a platter.
She was a complete unknown two years ago when she landed the role of saintly vampire Alice Cullen in Twilight, the first in a series of films adapted from the best-selling novels by Stephenie Meyer, which has so far grossed more than $1 billion worldwide.
She reprises her role in the third instalment, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. At 23, Greene is poised to step up to the Hollywood A-list, and the world is about to start paying attention.
Tae kwon do, kick-boxing, baseball… I’m prepared for anything.
I never rely on luck to get where I want to be. My father taught me that good things happen to you when preparation meets opportunity, so nothing is ever left to chance. I believe in being prepared at all times. In 2007, when I landed the audition for the first Twilight movie, I made sure I knew Stephenie Meyer’s novel back to front and I had a firm handle on the character of Alice Cullen. For the baseball scene in Twilight I learned how to pitch convincingly by training with a professional coach for two weeks. For the new Twilight movie I’m involved in a few fight scenes, so I worked three days a week in Vancouver with a special team who taught me to kick-box. Having learnt tae kwon do in high school, I also worked on sharpening up my Korean martial-art skills. As ever, I was fully prepared.

I got my work ethic from the marines.
More specifically, my dad, who used to be a marine so he’s got incredibly strong discipline. Then he started his own concrete business, building it up from scratch. Like him, I can’t rest up for long before I feel the need to start grafting again. I like to take holidays, but rest is always more pleasurable after a long period of hard work.
After a few days of doing nothing, with my phone switched o ff, I feel I’ve recharged my batteries and I’m ready to dive back into work. It helps that I love what I do, but I’d like to think I’d have a strong work ethic whatever I was doing. I can’t think of anything more boring than being on permanent vacation. I can be skiing in some of the most beautiful places on Earth, but I can only take a few days of that and I’m so ready to get back to work and be creative again.
Education is never wasted.
Before I started acting I studied psychology at public high school – I didn’t get to be a psychologist, but those lessons have been invaluable to me. When I first moved to Hollywood at 17, I was naive and inexperienced. I had to quickly learn how to read people and how to empathise with them. I don’t have my Twilight character’s gift for premonition, but I rely heavily on my own intuition. Psychology has also been useful to me in terms of being able to read a script and get to grips with the personality of the character I’m playing. Education is never wasted.
When the going gets strange, embrace the strangeness.
When I started out as an actress I thought only about work. I never stopped to consider what it would be like to be famous. The Twilight movies attract extremely devoted fans. When they meet me their reactions are sometimes a little odd. Quite often they just stand in front of me and start crying and shaking. It was slightly terrifying at first, but I’ve learnt to accept it. So long as people are responding in a positive way, that’s a huge compliment to me and to the movies I’m in. Going through my fan mail is always a big pick-me-up, no matter how unusual the letters. I have a team that can be relied upon to filter out anything too strange. One thing that did get through was a car manual. I’m still trying to figure out why a guy would send me that in the post.
Never stop learning from the people you work with.
Robert Pattinson, who plays my adoptive brother in the Twilight films, has been one of my biggest inspirations. As a person, he’s not like anyone I’ve ever met in Hollywood, and as an actor he’s a complete natural. He has no ego. Everyone loves him, but he’s unaffected by that and never seems fazed by the attention that comes his way. He’s not changed a bit since I worked with him on the first Twilight movie. He’s a great night out if you tag along with him to a pub or bar. He’s not the nightclubbing, get-up-and-dance kind of guy, but during shooting we’ll join him back at his hotel, where he’ll get out his guitar and we’ll have a loud singalong.

Robert Pattinson Can’t Wait Till Kristen Stewart is a Vampire



Robert Pattinson, Edward Cullen from the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, said in an interview that he can’t wait till Kristen Stewart–Bella Swan–becomes a vampire! He said–
“I like the idea” he says. “I’ve been complaining so much about the make-up and contact lenses, and she’s like, ‘You’re so pathetic, why can’t you get used to it?’ so I can finally be like, ‘Now you know what it’s like–you’re going to be in constant aggravation’, which is great!”

Wyck Godfrey Interview


IESB has an interview with Wyck Godfrey.
Check it all out here.
Here is an excerpt:

IESB: Since Eclipse specifically has been talked about the favorite book of the series for a lot of people and people thought it would make the best film, do you think that this installment will live up to those expectations?

Wyck: I do think that, so far, the word we’ve gotten is that it lives up to and exceeds people’s expectations. I think it’s easy because you have Team Edward and Team Jacob getting equal play. The hard thing about New Moon, for instance, was that, for the people that loved Jacob, they loved the movie, but Edward’s not in it much. Here’s a movie now where Edward is back in the picture, and it’s all about Bella and her choice between the two of them, and the conflict that arises out of that. It’s just got more drama than the other two books. There’s just more going on between her emotional state, but also the physical state and what’s happening with the Newborns. You feel like, all of a sudden, in this movie, all of the external dangers of the world are descending on Forks, and it’s on. Given that it has more genre elements than New Moon and Twilight, I feel like guys will embrace it more than the earlier two films. But, the thing that’s most exciting to me is that I think it’s the most emotionally potent of the three, so we haven’t betrayed our core audience, who really are going for the romance because it’s heartbreaking. That’s really exciting.

Melissa Interview


IESB has an interview with Melissa Rosenberg.
Check it all out here.
Here is an excerpt:
IESB: How advantageous was it for you to have Stephenie Meyer there to get her input on things that might not have been in the book?
Melissa: It was unbelievably advantageous. What a resource. She’s been living with these characters and this mythology a lot longer than I have, and she’s thought about it in much greater detail. Rather than reinvent the wheel, I could go to the original inventor and say, “What are the backstories?” And, even if I don’t use that specific idea, it gives me another idea. She’s been a great resource, not only in terms of the backstories and the mythology, but also as a sounding board. Having another writer to bounce around ideas with is really invaluable.

Ashley Interview


Fandango has an interview with Ashley Greene.
Check it all out here.
Here is an excerpt:
Fandango: Everyone’s had crazy fan-encounter stories. But do you also have a particularly special one where someone really impacted you?
Greene: Yeah. There’s one fan in particular who I’ve apparently inspired, and I’ve met her, I think, three times now. And she made me a scrapbook of my career and my life in Hollywood, which was really special to me. Especially now during this saga –this is a time of my life that I don’t think I’m ever going to forget, and I love that I now have this memory book that someone took the time to create for me. So that was really special to me. Then she wrote this letter with it and she was very sweet. It was very incredible that she did that!
