The Twilight Saga: New Moon' opening day numbers hold strong, so can 'Eclipse' eclipse them?
'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' - Summit Ent.
Still, none has touched The Twilight Saga: New Moon's opening day record of $72.7 million, and it's hard to say if and when a film would.
Some have speculated that the only contender for the spot will be this summer's The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.
The back-and-forth about whether Eclipse will outshine its predecessor(s) has been well-documented here, and the gist of the disagreement on the matter stems from Eclipse's temporal location in the year's film release schedule. The argument is that Twilight and New Moon were fall releases and that they had little in the way of competition while Eclipse is a summer release and has more to go up against box-office-wise.
However, some Twilight fans have suggested that it'll be easier to check out the movie in theaters as a summer release than it was to see the prior two.

Ken Doll Invades The ‘Eclipse’ Set?
NBC Los Angeles has a cute new article comparing Eclipse Vampire Peter Faincelli (aka Carlisle Cullen) to Barbie’s beau Ken. Based off of the new Eclipse still released last week -
One of the bigger questions that came to mind with the release of the latest “Eclipse” stills is whether Malibu Ken is moonlighting in the latest in the “Twilight” series.Because it sure looks like him in one of the scenes. And we do know that Ken’s agent is getting him a lot of work with the “Toy Story” gig and all that.But it turns out that that’s Peter Facinelli looking all kinds of buff and perhaps going a little heavy on the vampire make-up to give a plastic doll like affect.Facinelli did tell PopcornBiz that he worked out like a madman for the latest in the “Twilight” saga opening on June 30. How his vampire character got so suddenly bulked up will not be explained in the movie (did they get a home gym at the Cullen household?), but it will come in handy battling nasty vampires.Don’t expect him to go totally Malibu Ken. Dr. Carlisle Cullen does not take his shirt off.“Carlisle is not the shirtless kind of guy,” he says. “It gets depressing because you do these workouts and your body is starting to look good. You kind of want your shirt to be off.”

Nordstrum’s ‘Twilight’ Inspired Clothing Line Revealed!
We previously reported that Nordstrum is coming out with a new Twilight inspired line of clothing and merchandise, to celebrate the release of Eclipse. Now MTV has brought you a sneak peek into the new line of clothing!
First up is the “Necklace” racer tank in moonmist ($28) — a personal favorite of mine! This affordable tee will look great paired with skinny jeans and boots for a night out with the girls, or with some comfy leggings on a lazy Saturday when you find yourself parked in front of your TiVo.MTV’s Hollywood Crush
The “Newborns” burnout v-neck tee ($30) makes a statement on the front, which might give away your secret Stephenie Meyer obsession to the world, but a real woman shouldn’t be afraid to strut what she loves in public. In the MTV News office, I personally loved wearing the tee with my black suit jacket. A quick change into my leather jacket a 6 p.m., and I was ready to meet for drinks after a long day.
The Luna Twilight Duwop “Blush” Lip Venom ($16) has to be the best stuff to hit the make-up industry since that lip-plumping craze five years ago. This gloss is a must because it is great for moisturizing and it gives lips that all-day fresh color appearance. If you often forget to reapply after lunch like me, it’s no biggie because it stays on for hours (plenty of time for some vampire makeout sessions … wink wink!). The formula has a venom-tinged conditioning oil combined with a pink-plumping lip stain great for a youthful and gorgeous appearance.
Nordstrom’s line, which will be found will in the BP. department in stores, will be available for preorder beginning next Saturday, and in-store and online purchasing will start June 5!

PLUS! The Latin American band, Jesse & Joy, will participate on the Eclipse Soundtrack!
Jesse / Joy are the only Latin American band to participate in the soundtrack of the film “Eclipse”, which will be launched on 8 June. The song composed by the duo portrays the typical melancholy of relationships in the saga of “Twilight.”
“He speaks of these emotions that make you feel a love that, at a time, consider something magical, and there is a desire that makes you lose gravity. You feel like you’re flying, and it’s all love,” Jesse said in a telephone interview major Mexican newspaper.
Seeking to portray love between Edward and Bella, played by Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, the brothers wrote, a month ago, the words and music of the song Magic and Desire.
“We asked for nothing in particular. We wanted to express that gloom which has in general all the Twilight series,” said Jesse.
On the popular romantic films, the outer Space intérprertes revealed that it was difficult to agree, as each one is a fan of one of the stories within the film series. “I liked the first (” Twilight “), is one of my favorite movies,” said Jesse, while Joy prefers “New Moon.”

Jackson Rathbone Interviewed For College Papers for Airbender
Various College Newspapers had a conference call with Jackson Rathbone to talk about his upcoming role in The Last Airbender. Santa Monica College’s The Corsair was one of the lucky publications.
“The name Jackson Rathbone isn’t one many are familiar with, which is shocking considering Rathbone plays Jasper in the “Twilight” saga, is a member of the band100 Monkeys, and is an indie producer and director.
Rathbone recently finished filming the “The Last Airbender” with director M. Night Shyamalan. The film, based on the Nickelodeon animated TV series, ties the four elements (air, water, earth and fire) together after a brutal war is launched. A century has passed since the destruction began and little has been done to change the situation. Rathbone’s character, Sokka, works alongside the four elements to reestablish peace in the world.
Following is an excerpt of a conference call interview that Rathbone had with nine colleges across the country in regards to the film.
Santa Monica College: How did you prepare for your role as Sokka?
JR: There were two months or so of intense Kung Fu training in Los Angeles for three hours a day. We had two weeks of rehearsals in Philadelphia where we ran through the scenes and the process was very natural. Shyamalan is a very natural director; it was very easy to work with him.
Northwestern University: Since you were so busy filming, what did you do when you had free time?
I never really like to have free time. While I wasn’t filming the movie, I was also performing with my band, as well as starting to produce a film with a bandmate, Jared Anderson. I was also busy getting the trailer ready for that project as well as new songs with the band when I got home at night. I don’t really tend to have much “off time.”

Twilight Lexicon Interview with Edi Gathegi
The girls over at Twilight Lexicon got to interview Edi Gathegi at creation Entertainment Official Twilight convention in Arlington.
Check out their interview with him here.
Here is a little excerpt:
Laura: That’s great. What about your fellow cast mates, the actors in the movie? Like you said, how do you pick a favorite out of all these guys you worked with? [On stage Edi had been asked who his favorite actor in the Twilight film was and his response was, "Well whose your favorite child? You can't pick!"]Sometimes when you’re on set with somebody, you just kind of have the moment where you click as an actor and you can’t predict that. It’s just chemistry. Anybody with Twilight you feel like you had that moment where you clicked and you like to work with them again?
Edi: Well, off the bat, the first that comes to mind is Rachelle. But I think just generally when you’re working in the television and film industry – and this is a gross generalization – but generally you connect with a lot of people, because you guys speak the same language. It’s the common vocabulary of what it is to be an artist in this business. So you all have sort of a commonality where you’re gonna connect with a lot of people. But with Rachelle it was like, “Oh, we’ve got the same sense of humor! Oh, we have the same interests. Oh, you’re like the female version of me! Let’s freaking party! Let’s hang out!” So we became friends.
But then again, everyone in the cast got along very well. I still hang out with Taylor. I see Kellan every now and again with my friends. I see Nikki a lot. Peter and I always make plans and then fall apart. Like last night, he’s here and I’m like, “Uh, I’m too tired Peter, and we reschedule for LA?” “I never see you in LA!” “That’s cause you’ve got kids… and a wife. Let’s set a night. Go hang out.” He has poker nights every now and then, and I do that.
But a lot of the casts are friends. But Rachelle was the first person that came to mind because, naturally I was doing most of my scenes with her.

New Moon Holds on to Opening Day Record
HitFix has a new article looking at the opening day numbers for Iron Man 2. What does that have to do with Twilight? Well, it turns out that the much anticipated Iron Man 2 couldn’t even get close to the opening day record that New Moon holds, meaning the only competition that New Moon has in the near future might just be it’s sequel, Eclipse. Read more below:
If you noticed your “Iron Man 2″ screening on Friday wasn’t sold out, you weren’t the only one. The highly-anticipated sequel opened to a strong, but not spectacular first day of $52 million. Historically, that places it seventh all-time behind 2006’s $55.8 million for “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest.” That makes “The Twilight Saga: New Moon’s” $72.7 million record safe for quite some time. At this point, the vampire series may only have to look out for it’s own new chapter, “Eclipse,” to, um, eclipse it’s current mark.Check out the entire article at HitFix here.

OK! has new details about Eclipse reshoots
A visit to Vancouver to re-shoot scenes for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse recently doubled as a romantic getaway for Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.The actors were re-shooting a scene where Rob’s Edward Cullen and Kristen’s Bella Swan kiss; and the “tent scene,” where Bella must choose between Edward and Jacob (Taylor Lautner).“Test audiences thought the tent scene too ‘dark and adult,’” a source tells OK!. To make sure it was just right this time, Twilight author Stephenie Meyer stood by director David Slade for three days of re-shooting.
Though each of the stars had their own, 1,600-square-foot suite on the 34th floor of the Sheraton Wall Centre, “Kristen’s room remained untouched for the duration of Rob’s stay,” a source tells OK!. “She stayed in Rob’s room the whole time he was in Vancouver.”“Do Not Disturb” were put on Rob and Kristen’s door to prohibit anyone from entering — even maids.Bottles of red wine were delivered to their floor and Rob ordered orange juice, candied salmon and herb crackers from room service.And while there was no kissing or hand-holding during breaks on the set, Rob would guide Kristen by putting his hand on the small of her back, quietly showing his love with a small gesture.
Their romance will continue to blossom next week as Rob celebrates his 24th birthday on May 13. An insider close to the couple says Kristen, 20, is planning on giving Rob a rare vintage guitar for the occasion.
“She’s been looking at Fender guitars,” says a source. “She wants to get him something really special, something really rare.”

Picture Of Taylor Lautner With Brazilian Reporter
Brazilian reporter Mayra Dias Gomes tweeted out a picture of herself and Taylor Lautner following an interview she at a junket for Eclipse.
Poor woman just wanted to share her picture with Taylor with us fans but has since been called all sorts by fans causing her to tweet out ‘ Oh no, it’s happening again. Taylor Lautner fans, I am married and have no intentions with your beloved. I just did an interview. Thanks; I totally get you guys being so in love with him, but please don’t make up any crazy stories about me.’
Come on people us fans are bettter than this, jeez she isn’t making moves on him and even if she was…its a free bloody country right and Taylor is old enough to date whoever he wants.
