Ashley Greene Announces Mark Cosmetic’s Rock Your Style Challenge

New ‘Abduction’ still featuring Taylor Lautner and Lily Collins

‘Twilight’ and ‘Abduction’ Make CBS Fall Movie Preview List

After a summer of sequels, pre-boots and reboots, the fall movie season is shaping up to be an interesting one. With only a couple of sequels on the horizon, the run-up to Oscar season promises some fresh stories, well chosen adaptations of popular books, big name stars, timely political thrillers and, of course, some holiday cheer the whole family can enjoy.
Here’s a breakdown of some of the more entertaining films to look for.
Of course, the sequel teenage girls (and guys) cannot wait to sink their teeth into opens nationwide on Nov. 18. Summit Entertainment’s latest “Twilight” saga installment “Breaking Dawn: Part 1″ brings back favorite vampires and werewolves Edward (Robert Pattinson), Jacob (Taylor Lautner) and Bella (Kristen Stewart), who continue down a difficult path in pursuit of true love. This time director Bill Condon takes us on an adventure where the Quileute and Volturi close in on expecting parents Bella and Edward, whose unborn child poses a threat to both the vampire coven and the wolf pack.
And if you can’t wait to get your fix, Taylor Lautner fans can look out for him in a tale of international intrigue and espionage in “Abduction.” The Hollywood hottie not only exercises his muscles in this Lionsgate release, but displays some strong acting chops and performs all his own stunts to boot. Drooling teenage girls don’t have long to wait, the John Singleton directed thriller will hit theaters this September.
Head to CBS to read the full list!

Abduction’ Miracle: Lionsgate to Release Early VOD on December 23


With major studios risking exhibitor revolt over earlier and earlier video-on-demand releases, it seems the smaller players have found a way to keep everyone happy: Release movies on VOD “semi-early,” taking care to honor the 90 day theatrical window that exhibitors desire.
Lionsgate is doing just that with “Abduction.” It will release the Taylor Lautner movie at a slightly premium VOD price for 10 days in late December before releasing it on DVD and Blu-ray.
By timing “Abduction’s” Dec. 23 VOD debut to the Christmas holidays and making the film available for just 10 days, the studio believes that it can exploit the number of teens out of school on holiday break.
It will also allow the company to make money off the PG-13 thriller, which opens in theaters on Sept. 23, without pushing it into a crowded Christmas disc market, where family titles and summer blockbusters tend to dominate disc sales. The studio believes that the short 10-day VOD window will not significantly cut into disc sales, given Lautner’s star appeal.
The plan comes with theater owner’s stamp of approval.
“On VOD experiments, we’ve consistently asked for two things: that theater owners be consulted and that any release to the home should respect the range of the existing release window,” John Fithian,  National Assn. of Theater Owners president and CEO, told TheWrap. “Lionsgate did both those things and did it right.”
Theater owners hope that Lionsgate’s efforts to keep the lines of communication open will inspire other studios.
“What a refreshing approach,” Gerry Lopez, AMC Theatres CEO and president, told TheWrap. “How they handled ‘Abduction’ sets the bar for others to follow. We’re happy to be included in the dialogue and look forward to the movie’s release.”
“Abduction” will become available on demand some 91 days after it premieres in theaters. And at $6.99, though higher than regular VOD, the cost to consumers is a lot cheaper than the $30 studios charge for the DirecTV effort.
