The Sexiest Men of Summer Movies 2010
Moviefone has put together a list of the sexiest men of Summer Movies for 2010.
Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner were included in the list.
Below is what they had to say.
See the complete list here.
Robert Pattinson – ‘Twilight’
He Plays:
Vampire Edward Cullen, the one true love of mortal Bella Swan
Where Else You’ve Seen Him:
Besides the ‘Twilight’ series? He was poor doomed Cedric in ‘Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,’ and romanced Emilie De Ravin in ‘Remember Me.’
Why He’s Hot:
The knife-sharp cheekbones! That shock of unruly hair! That heroic profile! If ever any actor was born to brood, it’s R-Pattz. He’s just how we imagine our dream vampire boyfriend should be: pale and thin, with eyes that seem to bore into our soul. When he says, “I promise to love you forever,” who doesn’t swoon?
——————————————————————————————————————–
Taylor Lautner – ‘Twilight’
He Plays:
Jacob, Bella’s werewolf BFF.
Where Else You’ve Seen Him:
Smooching Taylor Swift in ‘Valentine’s Day,’ in 3-D as ‘Sharkboy.’
Why He’s Hot:
He’s not only sensitive and can make us laugh, he kind of gets our heart racing whenever he takes his shirt off. Which is pretty damn often. Not that we’re complaining. We love his soulful dark eyes and his thick dark hair, whether it’s cropped short or nice and long. He’s the perfect combo of pure, protective beast and best friend. And hey, how many guys will tell you, “I’m going to fight for you until your heart stops beating”?

Taylor Interview
Nine to Five has an interview with Taylor Lautner.
Read it all here.
Here is an excerpt:
Taylor Talks
: About Kristin Stewart: “Kristin’s an amazing girl; we’re extremely close friends, so (the media) can say what it wants it doesn’t affect how I’ll look at her.”
: About Robert Pattinson: “He’s one of the funniest people I’ve ever met. He has a completely different sense of humour to me but I can’t stop laughing with him. Whenever we have to do scenes where I’m having to hate him and scream at him, as soon as they call cut I end up laughing at him so it’s hard to be mean to such a nice guy.”
: About Dakota Fanning: “She is ridiculously talented. I’ve grown up watching her films, one of my all-time favourite films she was in, Man On Fire, so it was pretty cool to have her be a part of this.”
Julia Jones Interview
About.com has an interview with Julia Jones.
Check it out here.
Here is an excerpt:
Your character, some people could actually think she’s a bit of a bitch just because of how she acts.
Julia Jones: “A bit.”
How do you view her?
Julia Jones: “I think she’s just really misunderstood. I think she’s in a lot of pain and she’s going through a lot by herself. She’s trying to deal with it and she just lashes out.”
And being the only girl in this guys’ group, what was that like?
Julia Jones: “It was really fun and it got very annoying at times. For the most part it was like great fun. It was like having six brothers and you’re always joking around.”
Peter Interview
Access Hollywood has an interview with Peter Facinelli.
Check it all out here.
Here is an excerpt:
However, he doesn’t mind changing directors, as each film in the series has had a new helmer. “Dreamgirls” director Bill Condon will join the series for “Breaking Dawn,” with David Slade having handled “Eclipse,” which hits theaters this month.
“It’s exciting. To be able to jump from that talent pool to another talent, from one talent to another like that, it’s great because you get a whole new perspective, it’s fresh,” he said. “You don’t get complacent because you’ve done three movies with the same director and all of a sudden it’s like, ‘OK, let’s do this again.’
“It’s probably more scary for the director to come in,” Peter added. “They have big shoes to fill from the last director that made the franchise successful and a lot more people will putting your movie under a microscope.”

New Interview — Elizabeth Reaser Dreading Wrapping Up Breaking Dawn
TwilightersAnonymous.com had the opportunity to interview Breaking Dawn Vampire Elizabeth Reaser (aka Esme Cullen) on the red carpet for the 2010 MTV Movie Awards.When asked about how she would feel when Breaking Dawn finished filming, and promotions, she had this to say -
"I can’t even think about it. To say goodbye to these people. I mean I’ll see them, we’ll see each other. There’s nothing better than being holed up on-location with your friends. Doing this amazing movie, with these amazing characters. I Just can’t even think about it and talk about it."
Kiowa Gordon Reveals That Breaking Dawn Will Begin Filming This Year!
In a new interview with TwilightersAnonymous.com, Breaking Dawn Wolf Kiowa Gordon (aka Embry) revealed that he is excited for Breaking Dawn, and that it will begin filming this year!
"TA: Are you looking forward to Breaking Dawn?
TA: Do you have any idea when that’s going to start filming?Oh yeah, can’t wait for that one. That one’s going to be so great.

Jackson Rathbone Is Excited To Have A Twilight Family Reunion For Breaking Dawn!
In a new interview with MTV, Breaking Dawn Vampire Jackson Rathbone (aka Jasper Hale) told MTV that he is pretty excited to reunited with his Twilight cast for the filming of Breaking Dawn -
“I have not spoken to ["Breaking Dawn" director] Bill Condon yet, but I’m excited to,” Rathbone told MTV News last week, when he was in Los Angeles for the MTV Movie Awards. “He’s an incredible director, [an] Academy Award winner. That’s amazing, so it’s just another awesome director to handle the ‘Twilight’ franchise.[Source: MTV]
“['Twilight' director] Catherine Hardwicke brought a very independent feel. ['New Moon' director] Chris Weitz kind of made it a little more beautiful and elegant and ['Eclipse' director] David Slade’s going a little darker… so I’m excited to see what Bill Condon does,” Rathbone continued. “I really have no idea. I haven’t even seen a script for ‘Breaking Dawn’ yet, to be honest. I’m right there with you, still waiting.”
Rathbone admitted that he didn’t quite know the timetable for shooting “Breaking Dawn,” either. “I don’t! I could lie though! I will lie to you,” the “The Last Airbender” star teased. He then made up this scenario: “We’re filming it tomorrow, all of it in one day. We’re just gonna drink a lot of Red Bulls and we’re gonna have a green screen and go through it; no script even. We’re gonna make it up. You know what? We’re gonna try for all tomorrow.”
Many of the elements of “Breaking Dawn” are still unknown, but Rathbone is certain of one thing: He’s happy that the whole cast is reuniting. “I just wanted the family to be together,” he said. “We grew up [together]. Every time we get to film with one another, it’s like a family reunion.”

New Interview — Peter Facinelli Talks Twilight, Twitter, & Nurse Jackie!
ifMagazine.com has a new interview with Eclipse Vampire Peter Facinelli (aka Carlisle Cullen). In the interview Peter talks about his TV show Nurse Jackie, Twitter, and Twilight!
Peter Facinelli spent a significant part of last year commuting between the New York second-season set of Showtime’s NURSE JACKIE (which completed its run Monday night), in which he plays emotionally immature Dr. Fitch Cooper, and the Vancouver environs of the feature film TWILIGHT: ECLIPSE, in which he essays (as he has throughout the franchise) the wise vampire patriarch Dr. Carlisle Cullen.
The schedule was so intense that Facinelli reports he had to give up dyeing his hair as Carlisle and wear a wig instead.“I mean, there were days where literally I was running for hours in the forest [in TWILIGHT] and then I stepped on a plane and then I’d be on the NURSE JACKIE set. I was going from Vancouver to New York like every three days.”
It was draining, Facinelli acknowledges, but also, he says, “It was really invigorating.”“You know the scene where I was crying [at the beginning of this season’s NURSE JACKIE]? A lot of that came out of me just being emotionally exhausted,” he admits. “It wasn’t written that I was crying. All of a sudden, in the middle of the scene, I broke down and started crying and it felt right for the scene. They did takes where I wasn’t crying, but it felt like, because I was just dumped by Jackie and there were all these heavy emotions going on, that [crying] really worked for the scene and I think it was just me getting on an airplane with just three hours of sleep and being that vulnerable that it hit me that hard. So I enjoyed doing both projects at the same time. I really did.Twitter, as Facinelli has discovered, is a great way for an actor to communicate with the avid TWILIGHT fans too.“It’s a great way to share information with them,” Facinelli says. “And it’s also a great way to entertain. I like being able to put a smile on people’s faces and I like being able to also mix that up with sharing information with them that’s important and also letting them know what I’m doing. I mean, I’ve had people come up to me and say, ‘Hey, when you Tweet this out, there’s paid advertisements and stuff.’ I’m not into that. I like to keep my Twitter pure; I don’t want to sell my followers anything. I just want to be able to have that fan base so I can tell them what I’m doing and entertain them.”The fans do not confuse the actor with his TWILIGHT character, Facinelli relates.“You know, what’s great is that I look so different from Carlisle is they’ve gotten to know me in a different way than Carlisle is,” he says. “Now I’ve had this fan base go and look at some of the other work I’ve done and see how vastly different that work is, and so it’s fun for me that I don’t look like Carlisle and I’m not anything like him, so when people do meet me, then it’s not like they’re confusing me [with the character]. They’re not confusing me at all.”In fact, Facinelli continues, he’s really enjoying the appreciation of the TWILIGHT enthusiasts. “The fan base has been so phenomenal. When you go to an event and people have flown in from other countries, that’s the part of a loyal fan base that you can’t even imagine having. I’m thankful for all of them and that’s why I try to give back in connecting with them in some way.”
Jasper Warms Up To Bella In Eclipse
MTV recently interviewed Eclipse Vampire Jackson Rathbone (aka Jasper Hale). In the interview Jackson expresses his excitement for the fans to see Eclipse, and how Jasper finally warms up to Bella -
“I’m really excited for the ‘Twilight’ fandom to check out ‘Eclipse’ because we get to delve into Jasper’s back story,” he told MTV News while out in Los Angeles for the MTV Movie Awards. “It’s one thing that I was really excited about since first filming ‘Twilight.’”[Source: MTV.
He feels that sharing this with the fans will finally show them another side of Jasper. Plus, it means more one-on-one time with Bella (Kristen Stewart).
“I play this very quiet kind of solitary character,” he explained. “He’s very dark and withdrawn and now with ‘Eclipse,’ we get to see why. We get to go back into Jasper’s back-story, who he used to be his old life and why he’s afraid of himself around Bella. You get to see him warm up to Bella in this third film.”
But that’s not the only thing that’s warm, so is the action. “And a lot of action,” he said. “It’s one of those things playing a vampire but playing a vampire in warfare that something,” he teased.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' soundtrack deemed likely to debut at number one
'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' OST - Summit Ent./Atlantic Records
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse's official soundtrack, which was released Tuesday, June 8th, is expected to hit number one as well.
According to Reuters, the album's competition is Christina Aguilera and her brand new album, but "[i]ndustry prognosticators think 'Eclipse' will likely debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, with possibly as much as 140,000 to 160,000 copies sold by week's end on June 13."
They're basing estimations upon New Moon's successful soundtrack release ("115,000 in just three days" and "153,000 . . . in its first full week").
We'll find out whether those predictions are correct within the next week or so.
David Slade tweets about 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' DVD and IMAX prints
As the release date for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse in theaters draws nearer, all eyes ("the abyss") are on director David Slade's Twitter page for precious information about the film's progress.
The latest series of tweets from the one who has kept us in the loop even from a closed set concern the Eclipse IMAX prints as well as the DVD (yes, the DVD)!
A few days ago, he'd alerted us that IMAX prints were going to be under review, saying "So we had a couple of days off, tomorrow final IMAX print checks."
Early this morning, he updated: "Now just the IMAX digital projection to oversee and the film will be finally finished. Just in time for press to start!" He also issued the above picture with the caption, "A print of Eclipse in IMAX 65mm format."
About the DVD, Slade tweeted, "Finaled our Eclipse DVD colour timing and framing today, yesterday saw the 1st timed IMAX film print, a few tweaks and that will be ready."

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella' by Stephenie Meyer becomes best-seller
'Bree Tanner' by Stephenie Meyer - Little, Brown Books
Now, the Huffington Post reports that the book is already a best-seller here in the U.S. with sales of over 350,000 copies in the first forty-eight hours of release.
These staggering sales numbers are impressive, really, considering most Twilight fans knew that Bree Tanner was going to be made available on-line only two and a half days after the physical book release.
Twilight' has a heavy impact on the MTV Movie Awards, but doesn't help the ratings
Peter Facinelli and the cast of 'New Moon' - AP Photo
Deja vu? Sort of. Last year, an impressive amount of Twilight stars were present at the event, bringing in the very first trailer from The Twilight Saga: New Moon, and snatching up all the possible awards (thanks to your devoted voting habits). Only, last year, the MTV Movie Awards got an impressive ratings boost thanks to Twilight and not this time.
The L.A. Times reports on the fact that ratings for this year's event weren't increased by the incorporation of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and the cast of The Twilight Saga: New Moon.
On the main channel, viewership was off by a lot, dropping from 5.3 million to 4.6 million. However, with the addition of sister station VH1 to the simulcast lineup along with MTV2, total viewership was down only slightly from 5.9 million to 5.8 million. MTV reports that total viewership (i.e., anyone tuning in for a minute or more) totaled 16.4 million.The kudocast faced fierce competition with ABC airing Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
Think the promise of a clip rather than a trailer is what changed the trend? Still, the impact of Twilight - particularly, The Twilight Saga: New Moon's "Best Movie" win - was felt the next morning as publication after publication talked about the bleeping out deficiency of the censors with Peter Facinelli's acceptance speech.
Facinelli gave a statement on the issue to Entertainment Weekly, saying "My acceptance speech was meant as a satirical commentary to poke fun at the record breaking number of f-bombs dropped during the show. Secretly, I hope that David Mamet tuned in last night in case he’s prepping a revival of Glengarry Glen Ross."
Most Twilight fans seemed pretty unbothered by the slip.
The Twilight Saga and cast also took home "Best Female Performance" (Kristen Stewart), "Best Male Performance" (Robert Pattinson), "Global Superstar" (Robert Pattinson), "Best Breakout Star" (Anna Kendrick for Up In The Air), and "Best Kiss" (Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson in New Moon).
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' electronic 'Skin-its' announced
The company offers covers for all sorts of different devices, including computers, phones, MP3 players, and gaming devices, and this year they've got a dozen different designs from The Twilight Saga: Eclipse to choose from.

'Twilight' series wins big at Licensing International Expo 2010
'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' - Summit Ent.
Not only did The Twilight Saga: New Moon win "Best Film, Television, Celebrity or Entertainment category for its movie board game and apparel/accessories" at the awards (which took place in Las Vegas, Nevada on Tuesday), but it also won "Overall Best License of the Year," and one of the most major retailers involved in providing Twilight series merchandise, Nordstrom, was given the "Best Retailer" award.
You might not have ever heard of these awards before, but the acclaim being given to the series here is legitimate.
New Moon was the subject of quite a lot of licensing and advertising pushes. Nordstrom, which housed an exclusive New Moon clothing and jewelry collection, was certainly an active part of that.
Some of the competitors in the event included Hasbro's Transformers, Sesame Street, and Dora the Explorer - all of which have their own reputation for merchandising. So, do you agree that New Moon is/was the overall best license for a company to pursue?
Excellent interview with David Slade about Eclipse
IGN has an new interview with David Slade about Eclipse. He talks about working on the movie, his approach to certain scenes & characters, and the task of making Edward Cullen scary (in a good way). I am even more excited to see Eclipse after watching this interview, and have even more respect for Slade as a director. Check out the interview for yourself — it’s totally worth it:
