People' confirms Leah Gibson as 'Nettie' for 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse'

'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' - Summit Ent.

When Leah Gibson's name was added to IMDb's The Twilight Saga: Eclipse page, a lot of people (smartly) took the news with a grain of salt, considering the site is certainly no stranger to error.
One blogger stated, "Let's remember how unreliable IMDB can be... anyone with a pro account can edit the submissions . . . so don't rely on this info to be 100% correct or incorrect until a more reliable source announces one way or a nother."
Well, that reliable source, it seems, has come forth as Gibson is featured in People Magazine's "The Stars of Eclipse" issue.
Here's what People has to say about Gibson as "Nettie."
"TV's Caprica star grew up training as a dancer alongside her twin sister, Erin ('She's five minutes older!') in Victoria, B.C. Still, those body-hugging leotards were noting compared to the corset she dons to play vampire Nettie in Eclipse. 'It was very tight,' says Gibson, who had three wardrobe women lace her up. 'But I'm willing to take the pain!'"
So, it seems that the question as to whether Gibson was indeed cast as "Nettie" can be put to rest, and we can look forward to seeing her in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse on June 30th!

Julia Jones says a friend saw her as 'Leah' for 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' before she was cast

Julia Jones as 'Leah' - Summit Ent.

It seems that long before Julia Jones was cast as "Leah Clearwater" in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, she had friends vetting her for the spot.
InStyle Magazine has a new feature on some of the wolfpack (and its ladies) cast (Jones, Chaske Spencer, Tinsel Korey, and Alex Meraz, specifically), and one of the spotlight issues in the feature is Jones' casting for the part of "Leah."

The Eclipse casting directors weren’t the first to think Jones, a part-time model and Columbia graduate, was perfect for the part of Leah, the only female wolf. “One of my closest friends read the books before the first movie came out,” she reported, “and she always said, ‘This is going to be you. This is your role.’”

Despite being cherry-picked for the post, though, Jones still realizes that "there’s no way I’m going to be that person for everyone." Still, she is hopeful that "the way I bring Leah to life wins people over."

'Glee' takes on 'Twilight' fever

'Twilight' - Summit Ent.

The idea of Twilight fever is no stranger to parodies and whatnot, but there's always room for Twilight on Glee where most Saga fans are concerned.
Last night's episode, called "Showstoppers," included a little tidbit about Twilight fever when "Tina" is accused by "Mr. Figgins" of having an unhealthy affinity for vampires and the Saga.
Here's one source's description of the episode's pun:

Mr. Figgins believes vampires are real. Seriously. He doesn't take it too well when a pack of fangirls wearing "Team Edward" t-shirts attack McKinley's resident nerd and bite him. ... Figgins demands that Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz) stop dressing like a goth because it encourages an obsession with the occult.

Take a look at the clip:

Eclipse’s Newest Stars- InStyle Interview

InStyle has a new interview with some of the wolf pack members.  In the pictures and interviews,  Tinsel Korey, Chaske Spencer, Alex Meraz, and Julia Jones, talk about their time on set and what their lives have been like since New Moon.  Chaske Spencer says:

““It’s a star-maker,” Spencer said of the series. “It’s definitely opened a lot of doors.”

Both Julia Jones and Alex Meraz have already signed onto new projects from their Twilight-related exposure.
Spencer goes on to talk about how he auditioned for several of the Quileute roles before being offered the role of Sam.

“I looked in the book, and saw how big a part it was, and was like, ‘I’ll take it,’”

Fellow wolf-pack member Alex Meraz tells InStyle how being together made them feel so much like a family, especially being able to rely on each other for support.  I’m sure they’re just as happy as we are to be getting back together for Breaking Dawn!
You can read the article and see all of the pictures at InStyle.

The Wolfpack Goes InStyle

Tinsel Korey, Chaske Spencer, Julia Jones, and Alex Meraz are all featured in the current InStyle.
““This is you. This is your role.”

The Eclipse casting directors weren’t the first to think Jones, a part-time model and Columbia graduate, was perfect for the part of Leah, the only female wolf. “One of my closest friends read the books before the first movie came out,” she reported, “and she always said, ‘This is going to be you. This is your role.’” Nevertheless, Jones admits to some trepidation about taking on Twilight. “Everybody has an idea of who the character is in their mind, and there’s no way I’m going to be that person for everyone,” she explained. “I just have to hope that the way I bring Leah to life wins people over.”

Tinsel, Alex, Chaske, and Julia all have individual coverage. See the entire write up on InStyle.

Kidsday Interview With Peter Facinelli

Pel love’s this story. It reminded her of her childhood on Long Island. The main paper of Long Island is Newsday, and back in the late 70’s they launched a feature where kids were reporters on various subjects and they had a section each week called Kidsday.  Well, now a Kidsday reporter,Matthew Cebulski, landed an interview with Peter Facinelli!
“What made you want to take a part in the “Twilight” series?
When I first got the call about doing a vampire movie I wasn’t that excited. I was thinking it was going to be some kind of blood and guts horror film. But then I read the book, and I fell in love with it. I loved how it mixed this Romeo and Juliet love story with the folklore of the vampire tale.
Which one of the “Twilight” movies did you enjoy working in the most?
I enjoyed working on “Eclipse” the most because I got to do action, and the action stuff was a lot of fun. “Eclipse” is also my favorite book.
Was it difficult acting blind in the movie “Touch the Top of the World”?
I had them make contact lenses so that I actually was blind when I shot the movie. I felt like having to play blind all the time would be distracting, and I wanted to experience what Erik Weihenmayer had to experience on a daily basis. At the end of the day I wanted to focus my attention on who Erik was. Being blind isn’t who Erik is, it is just a physical attribute, and in the end something he had to overcome. So having the lenses not only gave me a fuller experience as to what Erik had to go through, but, it allowed me to put my focus on Erik’s persona.”
Read the rest of Matthew Cebulski’s interview here. A huge congrats to Matthew who asked better questions than a lot of adult reporters!

Will Taylor Be Your Classmate?

Finally, a reason to stay awake in class!
While he's already making big money as an actor and professional six pack, there are rumors buzzing around Taylor Lautner's home state of Michigan that the real life Jacob Black may be headed back there to attend college!
MLive, the state's biggest newsite, claims that Taylor is in the process of registering for the theater program at Western Michigan University, and may have already auditioned for the school (uh, audition? Like they wouldn't let him in!).
So, is it true? Is Tay going to be living in a dorm and dragging a backpack around in cold ol Michigan? Don't fill out those applications to join him at WMU so fast!
Cheryl Roland, an official at the school's University Relation's office, says she has no evidence that it's happening:
"I don’t think there is a solid basis in fact there," Roland said. "Because he is college-aged, maybe people are thinking that since we have one of the best theater schools in Michigan, it would be a logical choice. I did check our student registration systems, and he is not registered."
Ooh, one of the best theater programs in Michigan — fancy! Well, there's still time for Tay to register, though we're not sure what that would do for his, ya know, real movie career (he's supposed to film Breaking Dawn and Stretch Armstrong this fall).

People Magazine Special Edition Eclipse Issue!

People Magazine has a special edition Eclipse, which just hit newsstands last Friday!
Here is what People Mag’s Press Release -

(NEW YORK) – PEOPLE publishes a special newsstand-only issue this week entirely devoted to one of the year’s most anticipated movies – The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.  Twilight fever is getting ready to spread across the land once again as the saga’s third installment, Eclipse, debuts in movie theaters June 30.
To celebrate the blockbuster success of the vampire epic, the editors at PEOPLE have created this special issue, packed with exclusive interviews, fun photos and scoop on the film’s megastars: Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner.  “Other than having bodyguards around, I don’t think much has changed since we shot Twilight,” says Peter Facinelli of his Eclipse costars.  “Their personalities and their egos have not gotten any bigger.  On the set they’re very professional.”

Plus: Rob and Taylor aren’t the only desirable Eclipse men.  “The Hot Guys of Eclipse” special section gives a nod to the movie’s sexiest supporting actors including 25-year-old Kellan Lutz, who leads the pack.  Also, meet the nine newbies who’ve joined the Eclipse cast, including Bryce Dallas Howard as Victoria (replacing Rachelle Lefevre) – the fiery nemesis who creates a band of newborn bloodsuckers to hunt down Bella.  “She’s such a good actress, it was easy to be scared of her,” says Stewart.  But “she’s really sweet as well.”  During her downtime on the set, the 29-year-old Howard toured Vancouver with her husband, actor Seth Gabel, and their son, Theo, 3.
And for fans who still can’t decide whether they support Team Edward or Team Jacob, PEOPLE offers two collectible covers:  one featuring Pattinson and the other, Lautner.
PEOPLE’s Eclipse special issue is available on newsstands from Friday, May 21 – Monday, June 21.

Wanna save a $1.00 off either the Team Edward or Team Jacob Eclipse edition of People Mag? Go here!

Michael Sheen reflects on meeting Tony Blair for 'The Special Relationship'

Michael Sheen - AP Photo

Michael Sheen ("Aro" in The Twilight Saga: New Moon) has certainly made a name for himself . . . Tony Blair, that is.
Sheen has portrayed Blair in The Deal, The Queen, and - most recently - The Special Relationship.
His work in The Queen actually got him a visit with the Queen of England last year, and it was The Special Relationship that brought Sheen to meet his character counterpart, the former Prime Minister of England.
Variety reports that Sheen found the experience to be a bit influential on his performance for the film.
"In the case of this film, I actually met Blair. I got to be around him and watch him and be in the same room, which really affected how I played him," he said. Though, he admitted already having a . . . special relationship . . . with Blair prior to the encounter.
"He's someone I've come to know and got to play. You connect with the person you play, you find those connections and they become you."
The Special Relationship premiered in Los Angeles, California on Wednesday, May 19th and will hit U.S. theaters on Saturday, May 29th.

Ryan Seacrest wants your questions for 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' cast

'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' - Summit Ent.

If you have any burning questions for Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, and Robert Pattinson, Ryan Seacrest is your go-to guy at the moment as he is accepting questions on his Twilight blog.
Details are sparse on this promotion, but chances are Seacrest is planning a special coverage event for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and is formulating a list of questions that won't get his interview pulled (as it was, so famously, at the New Moon premiere).
So, if you have anything to add to the register of suggestions, head over to Seacrest's blog and have your say!

Catherine Hardwicke - AP Photo Whether Twilight is your favorite of the three films or not, there are a few things owed exclusively to Catherine Hardwicke's vision and foresight, original casting choices particularly. At a recent Official Twilight Convention stop in Vancouver, British Columbia, Twilight Lexicon got the opportunity to interview Hardwicke about some of the various nuances associated with the film (albeit in a new and different format), and Hardwicke revealed her mind-set and the circumstances of casting for actors Robert Pattinson ("Edward") and Taylor Lautner ("Jacob"). About Pattinson, Hardwicke explained that she knew he was the perfect man for the post because no ordinary boy-next-door looker could fill the spot and receive the same praise the mere name "Edward Cullen" merited. As for Lautner, Hardwicke revealed that she had him audition with material from New Moon to make sure that the chemistry was there between himself and co-star Kristen Stewart (in the then uncertain chance that The Twilight Saga: New Moon and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, etc, would happen). Good thinking, Catherine! Check out the full video interview over at Twilight Lexicon.
