Jodelle Interview


Dream Magazine has an interview with Jodelle Ferland.
Check it all out here.
Here is an excerpt:
Have you read the TWILIGHT SAGA books before you found out about ECLIPSE?
I think I was just finishing the BREAKING DAWN book when I got called for the Bree audition. I loved the series, it was absolutely fantastic. I’m a total bookworm, and I just can’t put a book down once I start reading it. Especially a good book. So I didn’t get much sleep while I was reading the TWILIGHT series. I can honestly read until 5 o’clock in the morning if I’m really into the book. Probably later, if I wasn’t afraid that I’d fall asleep while eating breakfast.

The Twilight Girls In Vanity Fair!


We previously posted the video of the Vanity Fair photo shoot with Nikki Reed (aka Rosalie Hale), Dakota Fanning (aka Jane), Bryce Dallas Howard (aka Victoria) and Julia Jones (aka Leah Clearwater).  The Twilight girls are featured in the August issue of Vanity Fair.  Check out the gorgeous photo of Nikki, Dakota, Bryce, Julia and Ashley Greene (aka Alice Cullen) and article.
For the August issue of Vanity Fair, Norman Jean Roy photographed the spooky beauties of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse—five vampires (Dakota Fanning, Nikki Reed, Ashley Greene, Elizabeth Reaser, Bryce Dallas Howard) and one lone lady werewolf (Julia Jones). Nancy Jo Sales was on set, where, between takes, the girls mused on the gothic romance that has everyone palpitating.

Nikki Reed plays the disapproving Rosalie Cullen. Here’s her take on the story’s appeal: “Bella and Edward’s love is very taboo and forbidden,” says Reed, “and I think that kind of represents all youthful relationships, because that’s what all first loves feel like. … It’s sort of borderline, like, insane.”
Elizabeth Reaser, who plays vampire mom Esme, exclaims on the attractive young men of Twilight:“Oh, it gets so old, you have no idea,” says Reaser. “It has no effect on me. They’re all gorgeous and lovely boys. … You just want someone interesting and weird at a certain point. I have a massive crush on Larry David.”
Bryce Dallas Howard, a replacement actress playing vampire-with-a-vengeance Victoria, is a Twihard: “I had seen Twilightinnumerable times. After I saw it for the fourth time, one of my best guy friends, for my birthday, made me Post-it notes with Robert Pattinson’s face that said, ‘Live Dangerously,’ because I was so obsessed. My husband actually said to me, ‘Do I need to be worried about this?’”
Ashley Greene, who plays psychic vampire Alice, anticipates success: “You don’t have to be psychic to know how this movie’s going to do,” she says. “Obviously, it’s going to be a hit.”

Kristen Stewart & Taylor Lautner’s Radio Interview With Kyle & Jackie O!

New Interview — Booboo Stewart, Tyson Houseman, & Jodelle Ferland!


The Chicago Sun Times recently interviewed Eclipse cast members Booboo Stewart (aka Seth Clearwater), Tyson Houseman (aka Quil), and Jodelle Ferland (aka Bree) -
Q. Jodelle, tell us about Stephenie Meyer’s new book about your character, The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner, coming out Saturday.
JODELLE: I had read the book before I started filming “Eclipse” so that I could understand Bree better and what she went through before she came to what she was in Eclipse. … It’s her back story, so you’ll find out about her, but I can’t tell you much.

Q. Is it true you had to read it under really tight security?
JODELLE: I read it and there’s somebody watching me. It’s not that they don’t trust me, but they just want to, you know, take all the precautions they can. … After I read it, we were supposed to get rid of it, and we didn’t really know how to do that. [We] put it in a bucket. We threw a match in and we burnt it, and then we took a video and a picture and we sent it to Stephenie Meyer. It was so funny.

Q. You’re a new addition to the franchise. How did Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and the others actors welcome you?
JODELLE: It’s always the little things that count, like saying “hi” to me, or saying “Oh, come sit over here, you look lonely.” You know, all those little things that I really appreciated because it made me feel more welcome. … They’re all really nice people.

Q. What’s the fan pressure like for Robert, Kristen and Taylor?
TYSON:You get fan encounters of the craziest kind, but it’s still, they are what drives this whole series, and they are what makes “Twilight” what it is, so it’s really cool to have that at the same time.

Q. BooBoo, what happened when you were punched at a fan event in Vancouver?
BOOBOO: It was messed up. One, another kid on a dare decided to hit me. I wasn’t hurt but … he was held until the police came. Then I went back, and [continued] greeting the fans.

Q. What’s really cool about “Eclipse”?
TYSON: There’s going to be a lot more action. … There’s a very climactic fight scene. There’s an entire war at the end of the movie, and I think it’s going to be a lot more guy-friendly.
Check out the FULL interview here!

Twilight' series garnering a new generation of blood donors?


'Twilight' star Rachelle Lefevre donating blood in January - Twitpic
Chances are, if you're a Twilight fan, the opportunity to give blood has probably popped up a time or two in the context of the vampire craze.
According to one local California news report, it was Twilight that helped a blood drive thrive this week.
Thanks to local "Twilight" fans, Redlands Community Hospital more than doubled the amount of blood collected at their monthly drive Tuesday.
The hospital hosted the first of two "Twilight"-themed blood drives this month, in conjunction with the release of "Eclipse," the third "Twilight" movie.
The hospital holds blood drives the first Tuesday of each month and collects 40 to 60 units of blood, CEO Jim Holmes said.
By 5 p.m. Tuesday, about 100 units had been donated, according to LifeStream nurse Susan Franklin.
The hospital's CEO Jim Holmes was quoted to opine that "The nice thing about what `Twilight' has done (is) it introduces a new generation to the thought of giving blood."

Robert Pattinson's 'The Bad Mother's Handbook' coming to DVD



'The Bad Mother's Handbook' - Ingenious Broadcasting
It's happened with Kristen Stewart and The Yellow Handkerchief, with Robert Pattinson and his film The Haunted Airman, and now it's happening with The Bad Mother's Handbook as well: a film that was previously unreleased onto DVD is getting a new life thanks to the actor's Twilight fame.
People Magazine reports that the film will be released to DVD on August 24th, and they've posted a trailer from the picture.
In case you hadn't already seen it, you can watch the film in full here.
A perusal of Amazon.co.uk shows that the video was listed on the site with a March 22, 2010 release date and is available purchase now, so it seems that this British film might actually be coming to American DVD as well, though People is not specific as to that issue.
On Amazon.com, it has the DVD listed with no specific release date though it says "NON-USA Format."

The Twilight Saga: New Moon' director Chris Weitz may retire after 'The Gardener'


Chris Weitz - AP Photo
As you problay know  that The Twilight Saga: New Moon director Chris Weitz might not be returning to the director post on any Twilight series films, did you know he might be retiring altogether after he finishes filming The Gardener?
The Gardener was the project that Weitz took up after New Moon, and it is currently filming in L.A.
According to the New York Times, though, things have been a little difficult for Weitz on the set. "In less than an hour, Mr. Weitz’s film crew had to contend with a crowing rooster, barking dogs, a musical ice cream truck, two helicopters and, just around the corner, eight police cruisers that showed up with a probation officer to cuff and remove a burly resident. None of it was in the script," they reported.
As the story goes, Weitz was content with his work in New Moon and openly considered it a step forward from The Golden Compass.
Now, it seems, he might be stepping away from the craft after this film is done.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if this was the last movie I ever made,” Mr. Weitz insisted, as his 23rd day of shooting on locations in and around Los Angeles got under way last Thursday. “It’s all I have to say, for the moment.”

Vampire Weekend admits to getting Twitter hate for being on 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' soundtrack


'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' OST - Summit Ent./Atlantic Records
Remember how last year's Comic Con appearance by The Twilight Saga: New Moon caused a bit of fuss with the regulars? Well, this story runs a bit similar to that.
Vampire Weekend, who contributed the song "Jonathan Low" to the soundtrack for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, had an inteview with Video Hits recently where they admitted to receiving a bit of backlash on their Twitter site after the announcement that they'd be a part of the album.
"I checked Twitter in a couple days, and I looked on and there was a lot of negativity," they revealed. "I mean, you know, Soul to Squeeze is on the Conan soundtrack. I’m not trying to say that this is as good a song as Soul to Squeeze . . . all I’m saying is that the Twitterverse needs to chill out."
About the series, the band members revealed that they'd seen the first film and found Kristen Stewart to be "beautiful."

Examiner Bio David Slade reveals why he took on 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse'



'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' sneak peek screencap
Director David Slade has finally spoken up about why he decided to take on The Twilight Saga: Eclipse as his next feature film project (after having worked on Hard Candy and 30 Days Of Night).
In an audio interview with Earth's Mightiest, Slade revealed that he found the idea of helming a romantic actor-cetric picture to be quite a challenge - and one which would elevate his capacity as a director: "It was just that I’d done two very intense films, one was outright horror film one was a thriller, and there was a really an intense acting film, a very very intense drama. And you know there were a lot of films around that I could’ve done and some amazing ones that fell through and there was lots of others, and you know . . . but no one was offering me something different. I just . . . from going from a one-person drama in a house to an expansive film set in Alaska . . . It was a big challenge. To me, it was here’s a chance to reinvent and learn a lot more . . . And I think I have a skill-set to address that and the studio obviously thought so . . . The interesting thing was at no point did they go 'Well, we’re really scared you’re going to make it too scary.' No, this was never discussed, it was just 'Well, let’s talk about it.' . . . So, from my point of view, it was very different than anything anyone else was offering me."
David Slade also revealed that one of his focal points in making the picture was to explore the whys and hows of certain mythological elements to the picture: "There was a certain amount of mythology that I found personally very interesting that I could bring a kind of sense of awareness I think that kind of hadn’t been addressed before. How do these things work when it comes to vampires? Why do they sparkle? What is it about them that does that and how does it works? Those kinds of things were really interesting to me. Those things were explored a little. There aren’t as many sparkly shots, but I think you get a sense of the physics of the whole thing . . . On the one hand, you have this intensely naturalistic romantic drama . . . so when it comes to these kind of fantastic elements, to me, it was important that they didn’t raise above the level of magic realism. You had to accept them as natural."
