‘Eclipse’ Song ‘Heavy In Your Arms’ Explained

Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine has explained to the Examiner, the meaning of the song “Heavy in your Arms” off the Eclipse Soundtrack.
‘Heavy In Your Arms’ I suppose is about the weight of love, and how sometimes it can be a burden between two people. . . . I felt this was a strong theme in theTwilight series – is someone being rescued or are they being condemned, and is the love you carry bringing you down? . . . I recorded it using a lot of strange reversed vocal samples and big hip hop piano. It’s basically inspired by 90’s hip hop and gospel choirs, like most of my songs.

‘Twilight’ Women Make Top of ‘Elle Magazine’s’ Power List

The women of Twilight have made the list of “Elle Magazine’s Powerful Women in Hollywood.”  Alongside the women of “Mad Men” and “The Conan Show,” Twilight actresses and production crew have made the cut.
The Twilighters
Thanks to a team of brilliant women, the Twilight saga has grossed $1.8 billion worldwide, making it one of the most formidable franchises ever. Screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg scripted Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn parts 1 and 2, all based on Stephenie Meyer’s wildly successful novels (she’s sold a record 85 million books to date and is also a producer). Summit Entertainment’s Nancy Kirkpatrick (president of worldwide marketing) is responsible for launching a shrewd social network ad campaign that is credited with heightening fan anticipation, while Summit’s executive VP and head of physical production, Andi Isaacs, helped shape the modern tween-noir look of the film. And of course, there’s the vehicle’s star, Kristen Stewart, whom the franchise couldn’t live without—and frankly, vice versa.
Add to that the rest of the wonderful production crew, Catherine Hardwicke and the other actresses, and yes you have a very powerful group of women.

Denzel Whitaker Interview About ‘Abduction’

 
Denzel Whitaker costarred with Taylor Lautner in the upcoming move Abduction. Blackfilm.com interviewed Denzel about his experience with Taylor Lautner and Abduction. Here is an excerpt from the article:
You’ve got another film coming out next year, ‘Abduction’ with John Singleton. What was it like working on that movie?
DW: ‘Abduction’ was crazy. It was a wild ride. It was fun. It’s unbelievable seeing the amount of hysteria that can go down surrounding Taylor Lautner and his fans in that town or in any town. Literally, they come out in hoards with posters and signs and support, always trying to find out what the next location is. It was like a wild goose chase trying to get the film down because we always had fans interrupting the shots. Other than that I had a wild time. It was great working with John. We had some high action scenes. A lot of material that he gave me and cast members, a lot of room to play around and just really express ourselves on film, not only as characters but as actors. I enjoyed that a lot.
What’s your role in that movie?
DW: I play Taylor Lautner’s best friend, pretty much the go to guy. Pretty much, his character ends up on a wild, wild chase to figure out who his parents are and he’s also running from immediate danger. So with that being said he needs all the information that he can get and I’m his go to guy in the film, whether it’s fake ID’s or just figuring out the best route to get out of the city or just helping him along the way in trying to trace down his parents. He comes to me and confides in me because I’ve been his best friend for so long and I also have access to all this technology.

Chaske Spencer Shares His Struggle with Substance Abuse with College Students

Star of the “Twilight” saga Chaske Spencer spoke about his battles with racism, alcohol and drugs at the Illini Union yesterday, sponsored by the Illini Union Board and the Native American House.
Born in Oklahoma, he didn’t move to a Native American reservation until later on in his childhood, where he didn’t make an immediate fit, he said.
“They teased me for being an apple. White on the inside, red on the outside, and I didn’t understand that,” Spencer said.
With a father for an alcoholic, he fell into a crowd of other youths from dysfunctional homes, he said.
After checking into rehab, Spencer turned a complete 180 degrees. In rehab they showed him a video of Native Americans and alcohol, where he realized what a struggle alcoholism was for his people. He said much of the reason is because of their displacement.
He has used his starpower to start the organization Shift the Power, which puts spotlight on the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe. Thirteen thousand of these people are without power, heat and water due to their water infrastructure.
“It was one of the worst catastrohpes since Katrina, but the mainstream media didn’t pick it up,” he said.
Denise Poindexter, program adviser with the Illini Union Board, said her favorite part of Spencer’s speech was “the fact that he was open and honest about his past.”

New Still of Taylor Lautner and Official Synopsis from ‘Abduction’

 Since breaking out in a big way with the Twilight films, Taylor Lautner has been extremely busy on a litany of projects. Today, straight from the American Film Market (AFM), we bring you the first image and an official synopsis of Lautner’s upcoming film Abudction, directed by John Singleton (Boys n the Hood). The film is a thriller which centers around a young man who sets out to uncover the truth after finding a baby photo of himself listed on a missing persons website. When we spoke to Lautner earlier this year, he spoke briefly about this project, but the synopsis here elaborates much more. Since previously telling you that Sigourney Weaver had joined the project, quite a few more impressive names have joined the cast. They include Lily Collins (pictured with Lautner), Danny Glover, Alfred Molina, Maria Bello, and Jason Isaacs.
Here’s the official synopsis:
What would you do if you found your own picture on a missing persons website? Teen Nathan Harper (Taylor Lautner) finds himself facing this very dilemma. Setting out to uncover his real identity, Nathan quickly learns his parents are far from who they say they are. When the police, government agents and shadowy figures start to pursue him, Nathan’s quest for the truth erupts into a full-blown “Bourne”-like man-on-the-run thriller.

New Pics of Kellan Lutz for YRB Magazine

Here is a small excerpt from the magazine article.
Blonde-haired, blue-eyed and bulky-biceped Kellan Lutz is loving life right now as a member of one of the hottest Hollywood casts to ever hit the big screen. The 25-year-old actor/model was an instant hit with the Twilight series fans, making an impact even with the small number of lines and quick glimpses of his character, Emmett Cullen, that were seen in the first couple movies. But all the pasty white vampire makeup in the world couldn’t hide the real talent Lutz possesses, though he claims this is never a position he looked to be in.
“Modeling and acting is one of the biggest blessings that has ever entered my life,” Lutz says. “I really fell into modeling when I was in high school when a buddy of mine was photographed for Dillard’s and he was in the local newspaper and we made fun of him. And then his comeback was, ‘I made $500 for that photo shoot.’ To us kids in high school in Arizona that’s a lot of money so I asked how he got involved and he walked me through the steps of getting an agent. So I started modeling. And I liked it. I really liked being in front of the camera. It was this new world that I never really knew existed.”

BackStage Interview With Kristen Stewart For ‘Welcome To The Rileys’

Breaking Dawn Kristen3 560x372 BackStage Interview With Kristen Stewart For Welcome To The Rileys kristen stewart
BackStage.com has a great interview with Kristen Stewart while promoting Welcome To The Rileys.
To some, Kristen Stewart is simply “the ‘Twilight’ girl.” Her arresting turn as love-struck teen Bella Swan in the swoony series of vampire romance blockbusters put her on the map and earned her the mantle of “movie star.”
And for many young actors, this would have represented the chance to cash in, to do a whole bunch of well-paying wannabe hits with various supernatural love interests. Stewart, on the other hand, prefers the more challenging route: offbeat indies, parts that speak to her in a genuine way, and the occasional portrayal of an icon (like, say, Joan Jett). She only hopes that those who want to see her as nothing more than Bella will give her a chance.
“There’s a road I’m going down now, and I’m aware that there’s not as much of an audience for strange movies—for different, eclectic movies—and I totally accept that,” she says. “But at the same time, if I do films like that, I want people to take it for what it is instead of going, ‘Oh, let’s see the ‘Twilight’ girl try to do this.’”
Stewart says she is deeply grateful for all the opportunities the runaway vampire franchise has sent her way, but she has made sure the personas she has taken on since have not been terribly Bella-like. Take her nuanced performance in the recent indie sensation “Welcome to the Rileys.” As foul-mouthed teen runaway/stripper Mallory, Stewart is raw and real, a believably bruised troublemaker, and she more than holds her own opposite co-stars James Gandolfini and Melissa Leo. “I’m really glad that it took the time that it did to get made, because I think by the time I was 18, I was ready and more confident and mature enough to play the part,” says the actor, now 20. “I had read the script when I was 16, and I was just too young. I would’ve shied away from stuff, I think.”

‘Road’ MapStewart was in Pittsburgh working on the indie film “Adventureland” when she first got wind of “Twilight.” At the time, she says, she didn’t really have “enough room in my head” to even consider a project of that magnitude. Still, she was up for the audition and recalls being thrilled when director Catherine Hardwicke and actor Jackson Rathbone flew to Pittsburgh to meet with her. “We worked together for four hours,” Stewart says. “And by the end of it, we didn’t want to stop talking about it, and Catherine was like, ‘Okay, well, I think you should do this. I’m gonna get on a plane now, but hopefully we can continue this discussion later.’ I was like, ‘Uh, does that mean…’ I couldn’t believe it.”
Like Scott, Hardwicke was charmed by Stewart’s brief “Into the Wild” performance. “I felt her vulnerability and yearning leap off the screen when she sat on that bed in the trailer, trying to seduce Emile [Hirsch],” Hardwicke recalls. “Kristen has to feel everything—to connect, to make it her own. She is intense and powerful and athletically gifted. Bella Swan is clumsy. Kristen had to be the most awkward volleyball player in ‘Twilight,’ but in reality she’s a superstar.”
Stewart wasn’t necessarily prepared for the “superstar” status “Twilight” would afford her, but she has tried to remain grounded and keep her decision-making process basically the same. “A lot changed, but at the same time the process of choosing stuff doesn’t change,” she says. “I guess I wouldn’t know the difference if I didn’t have ‘Twilight,’ because the things that have rolled in probably wouldn’t have rolled in. I’m aware and thankful for that. And when something like ‘Welcome to the Rileys’ speaks to you, you have to jump on it.”
That said, she’s still genuinely surprised when filmmakers want to cast her in certain things—like Walter Salles’ upcoming take on Jack Kerouac’s novel “On the Road.” “When it was sort of coming to be and I was the right age to play the part of Marylou, I didn’t even want to think about it a whole lot, because I was like, ‘They’re gonna hire Scarlett Johansson,’” Stewart says with a laugh. “Which would’ve been fantastic, but I just couldn’t imagine inserting myself into that equation.”
Now that she is part of the equation, she’s bringing her usual commitment to the role—and, refreshingly, with a sense of wonder not typically found in young stars who have been working as long as she has. “I worked with my friend Tom Sturridge, and he plays Carlo Marx, who’s Allen Ginsberg,” Stewart says, excitement creeping into her voice. “And I would look over at him, and he’s doing this f*cking full-on Allen Ginsberg crazy monologue in the corner of some thumping, raving party, and I’m dancing to bebop jazz, and I’d be like, ‘Tom, we’re doing “On the Road.” Just so you know “On the Road.”‘

Breaking Dawn Cast Seen Out And About In Baton Rouge!

Breaking Dawn Jackson 280x207 Breaking Dawn Cast Seen Out And About In Baton Rouge! 100 monkeys
LSU-Reveille (Louisiana State University) has a great article about the cast of  Breaking Dawn causing a frenzy while being out and about in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Rumors are circulating and social media networks are buzzing as many Baton Rouge residents stalk “Twilight” movie stars who are in Baton Rouge filming “Breaking Dawn.”
Avid fans have spotted the cast at several hotspots including Tsunami, Perkins Rowe and Tigerland.
And they’ve been permeating the city at downtown bar Boudreaux and Thibodeaux’s, where 100 Monkeys — a band including “Breaking Dawn” cast member Jackson Rathbone — has been performing every Tuesday, said Eric LeBlanc, manager at Boudreaux and Thibodeaux’s.
“The crowds have been huge on Tuesdays,” LeBlanc said.
Rathbone and 100 Monkeys were at the Baton Rouge State Fair this past weekend to film a music video, according to J.H. Martin, the State Fair’s CEO and chairman.
“Because Jackson is in the movie, they have been hanging around Baton Rouge,” Martin said. “We did see an increase in people crowding around the stage when they started playing.”

Martin said the band was a pleasure to meet.
“The ladies might think [Jackson's] the cutest because of his Southern charm,” Martin said. “They were super nice young men.”
While the production team for 100 Monkeys was filming the music video, some of the patrons started to notice, Martin said.
“We did a shot in the back by the bumper cars, and we had to get two security guards to make sure nothing got out of hand,” Martin said. “If somebody spots one, they tell the world about it on Twitter and Facebook.”
Kasey Emas, creative writing senior, said she has met several “Twilight” cast members. Emas said she met Kellan Lutz a couple times around Baton Rouge.
“He is really cool,” Emas said. “The first time I met him I was a stand-in for a movie he was working on with Samuel L. Jackson. I didn’t recognize him as a ‘Twilight’ actor until another stand-in told me after we talked for a good 30 minutes.”
Emas said Lutz and many of the producers were nice the last time she ran into them at The Office, a bar on Third Street.
“We were at The Office, and they were just drinking and having a good time,” Emas said. “When we were hanging around their table, [Lutz] was dancing with my friends and buying everyone shots.”
Emas said she has also met Robert Pattinson, who is less of an extrovert than Lutz.
“Both times I ran into Rob, he looked kind of messy and pretty pale,” Emas said. “The last time, he left The Office right as it was filling up. He just seems like a really quiet person who keeps to himself.”
Ashley Greene and Joe Jonas frequent Fred’s Bar in Tigerland and are usually accompanied by other “Twilight” cast members, Emas said.
“I feel bad because I know my friends pull out their iPhones and snap pictures of the actors when they are out,” Emas said.
Katie Harvey, project coordinator for the Baton Rouge Film Commission, believes filming will help raise Baton Rouge’s profile.
“All of the films that are in the area bring a great deal of direct [spending] into Baton Rouge and its businesses,” Harvey said in an e-mail. “[We] offer a discount to the films while they are shooting. It’s a wonderful gesture on behalf of the local businesses and a great grassroots way to display the hospitality of Baton Rouge to our guests.”
Since “Breaking Dawn” production began, Harvey said her office has been inundated with inquiries about extras casting, but BRFC doesn’t handle extras placement.
“We get calls and e-mails daily from Baton Rouge to even as far away as Brazil,” Harvey said.
