Peter Interview
Moviefone has an interview with Peter Facinelli.
Check it all out here.
Here is an excerpt:
Do ‘Twilight’ fans quote anything to you most often?
“Whose going to want you now?” [Laughs] No, actually, I get asked to say, “Animal attack.”
When you took the role as Carlisle, did you read the whole series?
Well, I read the first book before meeting with Catherine Hardwicke, just to see what it was about. I fell in love with it. When I got the role, I read the second and third book immediately. The fourth book hadn’t come out yet. When it did, I listened to it on audio book. It was like listening to a bedtime story. Not because the book was boring, but because the person’s voice kept lulling me to sleep.
New Moon’ Stars Visit Fans at The Naval Exchange
Yesterday we posted a pic of Twilight Saga:New Moon stars Daniel Cudmore & Alex Meraz on board a very stylish private jet, headed to my favorite place: Virginia Beach, Virginia!
And they weren’t alone. The beautiful Christian Serratos aka Angela Webber was also in attendance, to greet 300 fans who won a meet & greet with the actors and get their pics taken.
And they weren’t alone. The beautiful Christian Serratos aka Angela Webber was also in attendance, to greet 300 fans who won a meet & greet with the actors and get their pics taken.
The lines were long and the affection WAS genuine for Daniel Cudmore, Christian Serratos and Alex Meraz, aka Felix, Angela and Paul in the vampire versus wolfpack love stories known as the Twilight Saga.NAS Oceana invited the trio to meet the troops and appear at the Exchange.This was super awesome. I bet those 300 fans slept pretty good last night. It’s really sweet that in their downtime, the cast members still think of we the fans and do things like this for us. We have the most kind hearted cast ever!
Actor Alex Meraz said he got his start six years ago in Colonial Williamsburg as an extra in the movie New World.
“Six years later, almost to the day, I am flying back here. It’s a private jet and I am looking around. It’s so bizarre to me. It was really really humbling,” said Meraz.
300 families won a chance to meet the actors onstage and get a photo taken with them.
“It was great and we loved coming out and meeting the characters of the show we’ve read the books. We love it. We watched the movies dozens of times. We’re total Twi-hard fanatics,” said Deborah Boggs.
The Navy presented the three with jackets and caps from VFA-31 “The Tomcatters.” The actors also got a ride in a simulator.

Waxed Robert Pattinson Unveiling In New York City!

‘The Twilight Saga:Eclipse’ Will Bring a Red-Eyed Edward Cullen?
With several sneak peaks and with the official trailer that was unveiled a couple of weeks ago, twihards all over are scrutinizing every little detail. And this time it was Edward Cullen that was spotted…with red eyes!
Team Twilightcaught onto the fact that the clip featured a flash of Edward Cullen with red eyes. A closer inspection of the image reveals that he is not only red-eyed but also apparently wearing a Volturi crest necklace much like those worn in New Moon by Michael Sheen, Jamie Campbell Bower, et al.
A commentator to the blog scoured the book to find that there is a sequence in the story on Page 305 that might explain the origin of the moment.
“In Aro’s head he saw me at his one side and Alice at his other,” Edward Cullen says.
It may be a flash imagination of the thought like we saw in New Moonwith Alice’s “vision” of Bella as a vampire. Though, Michael Sheen (who portrays Aro) isn’t listed on any Eclipse cast list that I’ve seen . . . It’s still entirely possible that the scene went through without him here. Only time will tell.
Still very interesting, no?

The Robert Pattinson wax figure has been unveiledat the Madame Tussauds in London on Thursday, March 25th! Fans got cozy with the waxed Rob at the unveiling. The Rob wax figure in New York City will be unveiled Thursday as well.
We sparked a fan frenzy today as a brand new wax figure of Hollywood’s hottest young actor, Robert Pattinson joined the A-List to the approval of his adoring fans.
Residing in a specially created VIP section of our A-List party area, the British born star’s figure mirrors his rugged style with an open collared shirt and skinny trousers, trademark sultry expression and tousled hair. To mark his debut a group of his most ardent fans were invited to be the first to step into his exclusive VIP room and “meet” their hero.
“The figure looks really great! Just like him – his hair is spot on.” Said Katie Sear, 23 from Luton. She continued: “It’s amazing, almost like meeting the real thing! I’m sure people are going to love it; he is just gorgeous!”
Liz Edwards, our spokesperson said: “R-Pattz is one of the hottest celebs on the planet. We are delighted to be able to give them the chance to cosy up with their idol here at Madame Tussauds and judging by the reactions of the first to meet him here this morning he is set to top our “most kissed list of celebrities very quickly!”

Twilight' star Taylor Lautner wins Teen Vogue 'best smile'
Taylor Lautner - AP Photo
Well, it seems that a lot of people agree with her because he's just been given the Teen Vogue award for "Best Smile" in the 2010 Teen Vogue Beauty Awards.
The awards were based on fan-submitted entries, and Lautner was one of the few people to win awards (since most of the award recipients were beauty products).
Also on the list were Taylor Swift ("Best Hair"), Beyonce Knowles ("Best Body Image"), and Chanel Iman ("Favorite Model").
Yet another reason for the (multi-) million dollar boy to flash those pearly whites!
I agree with this choice . Taylor has a cute smile. Congrats Taylor!

'Twilight' stars Daniel Cudmore, Christian Serratos, and Alex Meraz visit military base
Yesterday, three stars of The Twilight Saga: New Moon and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse - Daniel Cudmore, Christian Serratos, and Alex Meraz - made their way to the Oceana Naval Exchange in Virginia Beach to visit members, dependents, and retirees of the military who were pre-selected to attend.
According to Hampton Roads, the 300 pre-selected autograph recipients were but a drop in the bucket of the amount present to see the three.
An "estimated 2,350 came to see actors Christian Serratos (Angela), Alex Meraz (Paul) and Daniel Cudmore (Felix), who also got a tour of the base," and Nikki Reed and Tyson Houseman were originally scheduled to attend but got sick and were unable to come.
Daniel Cudmore says 'X-Men' fandom didn't prepare him 'at all' for 'Twilight'

X-Men, of course, has its own devoted following, but, according to Daniel Cudmore in his recent interview with Twilight Lexicon, the series did not prepare him "at all" for what Twilight had to offer in the way of fans.
Lately, Cudmore's gotten a good read on Twilight fans due to his frequency on the official Twilight convention tour list with Creation Entertainment.
Twilight, he revealed, has "definitely gotten me in doors whereas before they might’ve said ‘Eh, not really sure if we wanna see him’ . . . so I can’t say enough of how great it’s been to be a part of this Saga."

Sons of Tucson Reads Twilight
The new Fox series, Sons of Tucson, featured Twilight in their most recent episode. There is an entire running bit as one of the three boys is reading the book featuring lines like”
“These vampires are a lot more morally complex than I would have thought.”
“Don’t go to prom with him, Bella. I know he’s hunky and handsome, but he’ll eat you alive!”
You can catch the entire episode here.
Julia Jones To Do Music Video
Julia Jones, who plays Leah Clearwater in the upcoming Eclipse movie, is going to be in a Chuck Wicks music video. According to The Boot:
“The two never met until last week and didn’t even know each other existed until a mutual friend put them together. “I talked to my publicist out in L.A and said, ‘I need somebody that’s just a great actress, that’s exotic and sexy,” Chuck tells The Boot. “And she [said], ‘I’ve got the perfect person … Julia Jones.’ And so, you know me, I googled her! And I said, ‘She’s perfect.’ And she said, ‘Yeah, I’ll do it.’ [Julia] heard the song and loved it. That’s what was mind-blowing to me is that she said she loved the song and that was cool.”
Julia didn’t know anything about Chuck before getting cast in the music video, so, naturally she took similar action to the singer. “I got this phone call and the first thing I thought of was, ‘Well, let me hear the song,’” the actress tells The Boot. “So I did two things — I listened to the song and then I googled Chuck. And I said, [giggling] ‘OK!’”

Twilight stars Visit Naval Exchange
According to the local Fox affiliate:
“Yeah, it’s a lot of pressure,” said actress Christian Serratos, who played ‘Angela’ in the movie. “I mean nobody really wants to disappoint these fans.”
Organizers say the event was a way to thank the military families for all they go through.
“It’s really geared towards the military families, the active duty and their dependents, “Robin Joseph, General Manager of the Navy Exchange Oceana Complex told WAVY News 10. “And it’s just a great opportunity for the stars to give back to the military community.”
That goal wasn’t lost on Serratos.
“One, you’re getting to see some really cool stuff and on the other hand you’re grateful to these people who are risking their lives,” she said. “It’s awesome.”
After their appearance at the Exchange, the cast members toured the base, visited a squadron and saw a F/A-18 Super Hornet.”

Amazon makes space for 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' goodies
'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' - Summit Ent.
For starters, a page for the Official Eclipse soundtrack has already been started, and while there are no artists or songs listed, the page looks legitimate - or at least as legitimate as the Official New Moon soundtrack listing looked around this time before The Twilight Saga: New Moon was released. No date has been listed for the album's release.
The same has been done for Mark Cotta Vaz's The Twilight Saga: Eclipse: The Official Movie Companion.
Vaz penned both the Twilight and New Moon companion books, and the release date for his Eclipse companion is set for June 29, 2010 - just before the film's theatrical release. Last year with New Moon, the companion was released well over a month before the film, but this go-round might entail a bit of detail sheltering . . . just a thought.
Also on Amazon's "coming soon" features is a listing for Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer to be released on May 25, 2010. That's a little more than a month before the film hits theaters, so it could be the movie tie-in version. The New Moon tie-in was released on September 15, 2009 (more than two months before the film's theatrical release), but, again, there may be a few temporal adjustments in the works for Eclipse.
While there's no reason to rush to the "Pre-Order" button just yet, these are definitely a few pages to keep an eye on over the coming months leading up to Eclipse!
Twilight' screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg says 'Breaking Dawn' will 'be a big challenge'
Melissa Rosenberg - AP Photo
At least, that seems to be the case in cast, director, and - in this instance - screenwriter interviews.
Melissa Rosenberg, screenwriter for Twilight, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, talked to Bethel Komo about where things stand on her end in the Breaking Dawn world, and she revealed an expectation that Breaking Dawn would be challenging for her as a screenwriter but that she was prepared for some negative feedback and flack she might get for it.
It's the big one, it's gonna be a big challenge, and I guarantee you that not all of the fans will be happy, and I guarantee you some of them will be. You have to give up the ideal of making everybody happy, it's just not gonna happen, but you hope you make the majority happy. Again, for that last book it is about taking that specific character Bella on her journey. It's a big journey, it's a massive change for her, and you hope to realize that.As for where on the timeline of filmmaking Breaking Dawn lies? Rosenberg stated that things were still in pre-production limbo but that it couldn't last too much longer since "vampires aren't supposed to age, so you know."
