As promised, voting has closed on TIME Magazine's "The 2010 TIME 100 Poll" for "most influential people," and with over 96,000 votes, Twilight star Robert Pattinson is ranked fourteenth on the list. 
The official results are set to be revealed today, April 29th, but for now poll results are available here.
Pattinson places, according to current results, just below Mir Hossein Mousavi, Han Han, Yu-Na Kim, Rain, Lady Gaga, Adam Lambert, Susan Boyle, Liu Xiaobo, Sachin Tendulkar, Zahra Rahnavard, Conan O'Brien, Roger Federer, and Shah Rukh Khan.
Here's what TIME had to say about Pattinson:

The Twilight saga has been a boon for the British heartthrob, who plays sparkly, sexy vampire Edward Cullen in the hit franchise. The third installment, Eclipse, comes out this summer, ensuring that Pattinson's face — however pale — will be omnipresent.

In case the names listed above aren't indication enough, this is a pretty major feat. Others that Pattinson ranks above on TIME's poll results include President Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, James Cameron, Nancy Pelosi, Meryl Streep, Steve Jobs, former President Bill Clinton, Clint Eastwood, George Clooney and many, many others.

Robert Pattinson: Time Magazine Influential 100

Robert Pattinson is listed in Time Magazine’s annual 100 People Who Most Influence our world. The write-up to go along with the nomination was penned by none other than Chris Weitz!

“I have to be careful about what I write here because it will be tweeted the moment TIME hits the stands. And if I say something bad about Rob Pattinson, I’m dead meat. That’s the devotion the Twilight films inspire. It’s certainly not how he planned it. And though I am continually impressed by the aplomb with which he handles the hysteria, I occasionally think he would take it all back if given the chance. Because essentially, Rob, 23, is a reserved, bookish sort of specimen, a guy who’d rather spend the night at the corner table in the pub with friends — a bit of a weirdo, frankly, in the best sense.”

LA Times: What Bill Condon Brings to Twilight

The LA Times has a piece examening why Bill Condon is a good choice for Breaking Dawn.
“In making the choice, Summit, which has gone for a different type of director for each film in the franchise, clearly wanted someone with more Oscar chops (Condon’s won one and been nominated for a second). That’s both because the “Breaking Dawn” material is a little more complicated than the previous books and because with the franchise already an unstoppable juggernaut, they can afford to take a risk, at least a small one.
So what kind of teen-vampire fable will the man responsible for “Dreamgirls,” “Gods & Monsters” and “Kinsey” make? None of his previous directing credits are obvious analogues to this movie (though the initial frenzy over him as a candidate was a little baffling; good filmmakers reinvent themselves all the time. And it’s nothing compared to Rob Marshall, another man known for musicals, taking on “Pirates of the Caribbean 4″).”

New Moon Director Writes Article about Robert Pattinson

Ever wonder what’s really behind those mysterious eyes of Robert Pattinson? Pattinson, who plays hunky vampire Edward Cullen in The Twilight Saga has half of the world expressing their undying love for him and the Hollywood craziness follows Rob wherever he goes. The awesome Chris Weitz who directed The Twilight Saga: New Moon, expressed himself in this self-written Time Magazine article, where he gives us an in-depth look into the real RPatz.

I have to be careful about what I write here because it will be tweeted the moment TIME hits the stands. And if I say something bad about Rob Pattinson, I’m dead meat. That’s the devotion the Twilight films inspire. It’s certainly not how he planned it. And though I am continually impressed by the aplomb with which he handles the hysteria, I occasionally think he would take it all back if given the chance. Because essentially, Rob, 23, is a reserved, bookish sort of specimen, a guy who’d rather spend the night at the corner table in the pub with friends — a bit of a weirdo, frankly, in the best sense.
So how to write about someone who seems to answer Freud’s rhetorical question, What do women want? Perhaps it’s just worth pointing out that it’d be fun to have a beer with him even if he weren’t Edward Cullen. That we haven’t seen a tenth of what he can do onscreen. And that important things, beyond the veil of Hollywood, occupy his time too — music, conversation, ideas, a sense of the absurd. Which, maybe, explains why he never gets to my e-mails. I love you, Rob! Call me!

Bill Condon: Highlights From A Diverse Career

So now that Bill Condon has been announced as the director of Breaking Dawn, everyone wants to know just who is he? Given the previous three directors here’s where he stacks up just on statistics:
He’s the same age as Catherine Hardwicke, but has directed the same number of  films as Catherine, Chris Weitz, and David Slade combined.
Like Chris Weitz, he is both a writer and a director. Also like Chris, he was nominated for an Oscar based on his writing. However, unlike Chris, he won an Oscar for his directing of Gods and Monsters.

- Hollywood’s best and brightest (and also most difficult) have worked with Bill Condon such as Oscar nominees and winners: Ian McKellan, Liam Neeson, Brendon Fraiser, Laura Liney, Tim Hutton, John Lithgow, Eddie Murphy, Jamie Fox, Jennifer Hudson.

- Like David Slade he’s done the horror thing by directing one of the Clive Barker Candyman series.

- Like Chris Weitz he’s handled CGI, but not to the same degree in FX2.

-Like Chris Weitz and Catherine Hardwicke, he respects adaptation from the originating source material, and doesn’t want to lose site of the popular work that everyone fell in love with. (See the interview with Charlie Rose below.)

-Like Catherine he thrives on character driven/relationships like Dreamgirls, Gods and Monsters, and Kinsey (Check out Bill talking about Dreamgirls in the video below.)

Now here’s the next item which people should be asking: who do you think he’ll want to be in the Breaking Dawn Cast who he’s worked with before? Hollywood, aside from talent, is all about connections, reputation, and previous experience. There are a lot of new vampires in Breaking Dawn, and we fully expect a lot of them to be cut or combined like the way Anna Kendrick’s Jessica is a combination of the book’s Jessica and Lauren. On the other hand, some are uncuttable due to basic plot. What leaps to mind right away is the Denali Coven in particular Irina, because without Irina going to the Volturi there’s no back end of the story.
So…who appears to be  twenty-thirty something, is an UBER Twilight fan, fits the age range, and has worked with Bill Condon before. There’s one name that instantly jumps up. The first person to come up with the answer that we are thinking of in our comments gets the autographed photo of their choice from our collection.

 

Eclipse Reshoots Day1

About two weeks ago news broke that there would be reshoots of some material for Eclipse. We pointed out, as did Peter Facinelli at the Arlington, VA Official Twilight Convention, that this wasn’t unusual they had several reshoots for Twilight late in the game. For Twilight, the reshoots involved the flashback of  Peter, Nikki, and Kellan in the period dress and the Quileutes in the forest. Why wasn’t Liz Reaser in those shots you may ask? Wasn’t Esme hungry that day? The answer is that Liz was shooting a TV series (now defunct) and couldn’t make it.
Hit Fix also established that the specific kind of re-shoots were what is known in the industry as “pick-up shots”. Peter further explained what that meant in Arlington.  He said (I’m paraphrasing because I didn’t have it recorded) that sometimes you do these because they realize later there’s crew equipment visible in the shot, a continuity error, the lighting wasn’t quite right, or they want to add in something else to bridge the material based on the edit. Peter further joked, “I don’t have to do re-shoots, I got all my stuff right this time.”  He then reiterated that they do these things all the time.
So what exactly did they “pick-up”? There was lots of Internet angst with people thinking it was the meadow proposal scene since the meadow area location was secured, but Summit had said that it wasn’t that scene.  Well it looks like one of the locals, Mandy, may have gotten to the bottom of it:

“So they indeed used the “meadow” set today with both Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart. It wasn’t Robert Pattinson on set, so it wasn’t the “meadow proposal scene” or anything.[Lexicon note: Rob as verified by multiple media sources didn't arrive in Vancouver airport for hours after this shoot began]

I think there was confusion about just what was filmed at the meadow…. MANY things!!

That particular area has vast surroundings suitable for various shots involving a field, meadow, forest, water, mountains etc.”

So given that, as Mandy reports, the land is basic, vast woodland, and it involved Jacob and Bella…well it could be just about any Jake and Bella scene on the reservation, your guess is as good as ours.
Check out Mandy’s entire report here.

What it means that Stephenie Meyer will serve as 'producer' on 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn'

Stephenie Meyer - AP Photo

Today's announcement that Bill Condon will direct The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn came with another in-laid piece of news: Stephenie Meyer will serve as producer on the film for the first time in her Twilight film career.
A lot of you have reached out with inquiries about what it means that she'll serve as a producer, so here's the basic gist of what a producer is, does, and how it relates to Stephenie Meyer and Breaking Dawn.
For starters, a producer, by generic definition is "the person on a movie set who makes sure everyone shows up and knows what to do when—and who knows beforehand what’s being served for lunch."
Prior Twilight Saga film producers, whose names you might recognize, include Wyck Godfrey and Karen Rosenfelt (who'll return to that position for Breaking Dawn, according to the announcement) as well as Greg Mooradian. We've also had "executive producers" (definition: "often owns the rights to a book or story idea or secures at least 25 percent of the film's budget . . . rarely have creative or technical involvement and are often caught up with several projects at once") like Marty Bowen, Michele Imperato Stabile, Guy Oseary, and Mark Morgan; "co-producers" (definition: "works under the producer and often helps with casting, financing, or postproduction") such as Jamie Marshall and Bill Bannerman; "associate producers" ("a largely honorary title") like Patrick Thomas Smith and David Roker; and "consulting producers" (definition: "generally a high-level writer who is contributing . . . but is not one of the principal forces").



You might remember when Robert Pattinson assumed a role on the film Remember Me as executive producer and his words as to why that happened: "I just didn’t want it to be messed around with . . . I didn’t want it to be compromised in any way . . . anything I could do to help to maintain the film . . ."

Victoria wins Most Anticipated Villian Poll

Bryce Dallas Howard as Victoria in Eclipse won with 31% of the votes in Fandango’s poll of the Most Anticipated Summer Movie Villians.
Here is what they said:
On the villain side of things…I mean, c’mon – is there anyone we despise more than Bryce Dallas Howard’s Victoria in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse? This is Howard’s first go at the role (the character was previously played by Rachelle Lefevre in both New Moon and Twilight), and so fans will need to warm up (or down) to her. That said, even with Howard taking over the role for the first time, fans are still more than pumped to see her run all sorts of naughty deeds with the character.
Check out Fandango to see who else made it in the poll as well
