DVR alert: 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' special on 'Jimmy Kimmel' airs June 23rd
ABC
According to the Associated Press, the episode will include a spoof by the cast of MTV's Jersey Shore, and the episode will air on June 23rd at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT.
Below is a nice video summary from the taping.
The cast did an outdoor question and answer session for several hundred fans after the taping, and below is a video (though you should be warned that the noise level is high).

Twilight' studio seeks injunction against B.B. Dakota jacket sales
'Twilight' - Summit Ent.
The story of its inclusion in the film is rather cute, as the costume director had another piece for the scenes chosen but found that it was too matchy-matchy with Stewart's hair and, as The Hollywood Reporter explains, "made a dash to Nordstrom and picked something off the rack. 'Wendy saved the day!' remarked director Catherine Hardwicke."
Now the item might not only be iconic, but it could also be ancient history as Twilight film studio Summit Entertainment has filed suit against B.B. Dakota "for copyright and trademark infringement."
The alleged infringment relates to the company's product advertisements, it seems.
It's listed on the company's site as the "Jacket seen in Twilight" and says "Bella Swann wears this jacket in Twilight and scores the hottest vampire in high school, and so can you!"
Current asking price for the item is $70.00, and it comes in four colors.
Reports THR, "In the lawsuit, Summit seeks an injunction against further sale of the item, all profits earned from the jacket, and . . . it wants B.B. Dakota to "deliver to Summit for destruction all Bella Jackets."
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' OST contributors Eastern Conference Champions reveal song's origin
'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' OST - Summit Ent./Atlantic Records
"The song came together in a late night recording session just hours before we were leaving for Las Vegas to celebrate Josh's birthday. It's about how we feel we're able to turn it up and come through with what we need to do at any given time and also about the neverending 'hurry up and wait' moments that happen," they revealed.
They also talked about the wait that they endured in finding out whether they were actually chosen for the album.
"The Twilight thing was months of hard work for us, lots of stress, lots of hearing "maybe" and all that. We knew we had a chance but we also knew that hundreds of other bands - most of whom were more well known than ECC – were going for it as well. When we got the placement the three of us knew it would be a big deal but probably didn't anticipate how big it actually is," they explained.

Both The Twilight Saga: Eclipse actors are featured in People Magazine's "50 Most Amazing Bodies" issue - though for different reasons.
For Lautner, it's his The Twilight Saga: New Moon muscle transformation that earned him a spot on People's "Top 10 Body Moment of the Year," and for Lutz, it's his upper torso that landed him on the publication's "Best Chests" feature.

After news that Meyer's The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella had become an early best-seller, more numbers are in, and The Bookseller reports that "Stephenie Meyer's Twilight novella, The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner (Atom), sold 136,995 copies in its first full week at UK bookshops . . . it is the strongest ever weekly sale from a children's/young adult author since TCM records began in 2001."
Deadline Hollywood states that the novella "has sold 226,589 copies so far in the UK" and that "Waterstones, the largest bookshop chain, expects it to be the biggest-selling book of the year."

Director David Slade Interview With Fearnet On Decapitations & What Scared The MPAA!
Fearnet.com interviewed Eclipse director David Slade recently. David talked about what scene scared the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America).
After he made the gory bloodsucker pic 30 Days of Night, nobody expected David Slade’s next vampire flick to be, well, a Twilight movie. But as producer Wyck Godfrey told me, Slade’s unique background was exactly what made him the right man to helm the third film in the Twilight Saga, the scariest, most violent, and most vampire-infested installment in the franchise.
I caught up with Slade in Beverly Hills just days after he’d attended an informal Masters of Horror confab with the likes of Eli Roth, Guillermo del Toro, and Tobe Hooper, whose Texas Chainsaw Massacre Slade counts among his favorite movies of all time. An avid photographer, Slade snapped a photo of yours truly (he captures everyone who interviews him) before we got to talking about all things Eclipse.
Was directing a PG-13 Twilight film such a major change for Slade, whose previous features earned R-ratings for “disturbing violent behavior” (Hard Candy) and good old-fashioned bloody vampire violence (30 Days of Night)? What skin-ripping scenes in Eclipse were too extreme for the MPAA? How did he get Taylor Lautner to wear a skin-tight gray spandex wolf suit on set? And lastly, what message does he have for hardcore horror hounds reluctant to give his Twilight movie a chance?
Read on for my full chat with Eclipse director David Slade…
Was there a discernable transition making the jump from your earlier, R-rated genre work to the Twilight franchise?
It wasn’t that hard. We have like six decapitations in Eclipse! We smash people’s heads off, bite people’s heads off, I mean — I was amazed we got the rating we did, the MPAA only threw back one thing: we had this one part in the battle where Emmett just tears someone’s face off. The face kind of breaks off into pieces of crystal that shatter. I was like, ‘Whoa, yeah!’ But the MPAA said ‘No, you can’t do that.’ So the shot’s still in there, but you don’t see the face come off, you just see little bits of stuff breaking off.
Stephenie Meyer’s unique vampire mythology sort of helps one get around depicting graphic violence, doesn’t it? Eclipse features a lot of arm-ripping, head-smashing action — and yet not too much blood.
We managed to pack quite a lot in by making the pathology of this vampire a little bit fantastic. I worked with the guys over at Imagine Engine, who are best known for being one of the main vendors on District 9, which is an amazing film. They did a hell of a lot of the alien work. They did some wolf work for us — not all of it, that was mainly done by Tippett Studios — but when we were designing some of the crystal-sparkly stuff we basically sat down and figured out how it would work. We got anatomical drawings and did human slices — not real ones, but photographs of them — and figured out which layers would be crystal and how that would work. We figured that out because we knew we had to smash them. In a way, it was going to be acceptable to decapitate the hell out of people and smash their heads off in pieces. Bite people’s arms off and leave them with stumps. [Laughs] I’m amazed we got away with that, too, [in the scene where] Riley’s arm gets bitten off.
Stephenie Meyer describes the vampire body as made of a marble-like substance; you call it ‘crystal’?
There’s a crystalline structure. Marble-crystal, yeah. We figured it was a kind of crystal because crystal slides and grows in a way that’s very similar to muscle. It could potentially, in some fantastical way, slide around and move like muscle.
How much of the previous digital and design work did you inherit and how much did you try to change?
We tried to change more than we could. Not because of anything other than schedule and finance. We started down the path to radically redesign the sparkling Edward effect, but we just ran out of time on the R&D on that and ended up augmenting what already existed. What I wanted from that effect was the idea that even though he’s this cold, soulless thing, when the light hit him it’d refract light back and reflect onto you. If you were kissing him, you’d feel the warmth on your skin. That was something emotional and nice about that effect, because I just personally didn’t like how that worked out before. There was a plasticity to it that took me out of the moment in the films. It’s not a criticism, it’s just that in terms of how I wanted to move forward I wanted a more organic approach. We tried to make the wolves as real as we could in the time that we had. We knew they’d have to grab things and smash things.
The fight sequences turned out to be very engaging. Audiences seem to like the ramped-up action and the integration of the wolves into the newborn fight in the clearing.
Yeah, it seemed to work out. But one of my favorite scenes was actually a very emotional scene with the wolves, when Bella is watching and Jacob comes up next to her.
Yes! We heard Taylor pulled on a gray spandex wolf suit to make that moment more authentic, is that right?
Yes, he did. We had these big, white, plastic polyurethane cut-out models of the wolves so that we could get a sense of scale for camera framing.
Did you have to push him to get in that suit, or did he volunteer to do it? And how did that look while you were filming?
We asked him. He said okay. I figured that his nose to his fist [stretches out arm] was the same length as the wolf’s nose to its shoulder blade, so he came in and he put out his fist, and she kind of nuzzled his fist and stroked his hair. It was great, because there was a sense of connection. A person in a gray suit, even, will make a much better connection than an orange ball on a stick. So we had guys running around all over the place with gray suits on.
When the first trailers came out, I was impressed by how gorgeous your cinematography and location photography was.
Well that was from having [director of photography] Javier Aguirresarobe.
I wondered how your own love of photography, which you’ve shared throughout production with fans on Twitter, factored into the look of that cinematography.
I am cursed and blessed with the notion that when I read a book, I have a kind of photographic image in my mind that comes out. Through 16 years of doing music videos, commercials, and then two features, I’ve gotten to the point where I can exercise knowing how to make a mental image into a photographic image. What lens to use, what the depth of field should be, how long the focal length from the film plane to the subject should be, what kind of f-stop I need. It’s a blessing and a curse because sometimes you worry that you’re falling into a pattern, which you never want to do. But the blessing is that I do see images in my mind, there is a mechanism to get the film made — and it’s a film that I’ve already seen [in my mind]. The hard part is getting it out of the head and onto a screen. So yes, very much, I have a very clear idea of composition and where the light should be and everything about the image.
You’ve spoken about using a specific cinematic language on Eclipse — framing Bella, Edward, and Jacob in tight close-ups, for example.
Yes, a cinematic vocabulary. This one had to have a more mature — not to be antithetical to ‘immature,’ I don’t think there is anything immature about the films — but it was a more advanced, more complex story, and I think it needed a more complex, more cinematic… I think I was going more for a piece of cinema than a movie, knowing full well that it would probably be distributed like a movie. So I had the license to be a little bit more edgy with my cinematography, to actually push the camera in a way that hadn’t been pushed before on these films. But none of it was done for the sake of messing around, it was all done with a specific idea in mind.
One of my favorite scenes in Eclipse is Bella’s nightmare. It’s a very dark, nightmarish scenario in which a vision of Jasper looks directly into the camera and comes for the audience.
That was our first day of shooting! I remember that, it was halfway through the very first day of principal shooting.
That scene is striking in that it bears more of a horror cinema mark than the rest of the film. Do you see yourself as a member of the horror filmmaking community?
Am I a horror filmmaker? Yes I am, I guess — I go to the Masters of Horror dinners.
That’s certainly a badge, of sorts.
But you know, Hard Candy wasn’t a horror movie. And I may not make a horror movie next. But I love horror movies, some of my favorite movies of all time, like Possession, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre — they’re all horror movies. Amongst great dramas, as well.
Considering your genre-specific fan base, how would you like non-Twilight fans to approach the Twilight franchise?
With an open mind. But it is a Twilight film, no doubt. It’s a Twilight film; it’s definitely based on the Twilight material. It’s not an R-rated movie, it is a PG-13 movie. [Pauses] But I do believe it is probably the most violent of all of them.
Elizabeth Reaser:Five Eclipse Moments She Loved Filming
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse matriarch, Elizabeth Reaser aka Esme Cullen is rarely known for her kick-butt street-style fighting. But this time the usually quiet, extremely loving vampire-mom is ready to protect her family…at any cost. Reaser sat down with PopWatch to talk about her 5 favorite moments from filming Eclipse.
The actress, who plays Cullen matriarch Esme, had yet to see much footage from the final product at the time of our chat, but if her instincts translate well onscreen, she said she’s going to be one badass mom. “Esme’s the most loving character in the whole series, in my opinion, but — pardon my French — if you f— with one of Esme’s children, you are going down,” she said, laughing. “…That stuff can so quickly turn into Saturday Night Live if you’re not doing it well. Hopefully, we pulled it off.”(Source: PopWatch)
Read on for five of Reaser’s favorite moments filming Eclipse.
- “I enjoyed the stuff with Bree [Jodelle Ferland] and Dakota [Fanning]. Dakota is really scary in this movie [laughs]. She’s so unsettling because she has that angelic face, and she’s so terrifying. I mean, genuinely. It was impressive. Her character intimidated our characters so genuinely, which is great as an actor, to watch a 15-year-old come up and scare the s–t out of you. We were genuinely scared.”
- “There was an action scene I did with Peter [Facinelli] where we were in a battle. We fight together — because we’re a team and he’s so protective he wouldn’t let me fight by myself — it’s pretty intense. We both do some intensely violent things, which was pretty scary. And I didn’t enjoy that stuff. I realized I don’t like pretending to hit people because it kind of makes me feel bad, like what if I hit them [for real]? What if I get nervous? And so the director was like, ‘You’re not getting mad.’ He tried to piss me off and it worked. [Laughs] He started yelling things at me off-camera to genuinely make me mad. So then I got really mad and he was like, ‘Yea!’ It was a weird thing but a great tactic on his part.”
- “I like all the stuff in the house. They re-created the house we shot in back in Portland. I mean, they built the entire house. It was amazing. Every detail was exactly the same. So I really liked those scenes where we were all sitting around, trying to make decisions, and being a family. It’s what you want a family to be, and that’s part of what appeals to me about these books and characters. They’ve chosen their family and chosen to be together — none of us are actually related. So there’s something about all of us being together that’s so nice.”
- “Bryce [Dallas Howard] and Xavier [Samuel] have a scene on the bridge. I remember Nikki [Reed] and I were on set for a hair test, and we went down to set to check it out, and it was beautiful and sexy. I’m excited to see it.”
- “There was a really cool scene where we meet with the wolves. It’s a complicated thing we’re trying to do; we’re trying to team up with them to defeat the Newborns and save our way of life and save our family. So we collaborate with them, and it’s not easy. So we have this first meeting with them, and what’s funny about it is that they’re not wolves in real life. So they had these cardboard cutout wolves for us for our eye line — because you know they go in there and build the wolves later with CGI. So we were doing these really intense, serious scenes with these hilarious cardboard cutout wolves in the middle of this big forest. It was so surreal. I kind of wish we just shot it with those wolves. I think it would have been really interesting. [Laughs]“

Robert Pattinson feels surrounded by Oscar winners on 'Water for Elephants' set
AP Photo
As you know, he's filming the book-to-film adaptation of Sara Gruen's best-seller in California currently, and in a recent interview the actor did with the New York Times, he explained that the set was filled with Oscar winners - himself being the exception.
"It feels like everyone is an Oscar winner except me," he said.
Of course, the NYT predicts that Water For Elephants is Robert Pattinson's biggest chance to prove himself outside of the Twilight arena, so it very well may be that Pattinson is lining himself up to join his co-stars in accolades.
Among those Academy Award-winning actors co-starring in the picture with him are Reese Witherspoon (won "Best Actress" award for Walk The Line) and Christoph Waltz (won "Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role" for Inglourious Basterds). Hal Holbrook (who portrays the older version of Pattinson's character "Jacob") was also nominated for an Oscar, as was screenplay author Richard LaGravanese.
Details on Burger King's 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' promotions revealed
The publication reveals that Burger King's Eclipse push will begin on Monday with commercials and games.
In the commercials, the Team Edward versus Team Jacob debate wages in the form of fan devotion, and "dueling devotees of the two characters are seen marching into a Burger King restaurant, urging customers to play the game by scratching off the panel with their favorite character."
A preview of the quotes used in the commercials (which NYT states will appear both on television and online) includes: "'Jacob’s abs are so hard,' a Jacob fan tells a customer, 'you can scratch that game piece on them.' An Edward fan explains that he is not dead, just alive forever."
Burger King will also host a website for their promotions, and scratch-off cards will give fans the chance to win one of several prizes, including a screening of the movie and a set tour.
Stephenie Meyer's 'Bree Tanner' sells 700,000 copies in the U.S.
'Bree Tanner' by Stephenie Meyer - Little, Brown Books
Another interesting piece of information brought forth by EW's report is the staggeringly low number of people who have taken up the opportunity to read the book in its entirety online (at BreeTanner.com).
"Little, Brown, Meyer’s publisher, estimates that only 75,000 people have read the book in its entirety on the website," EW reports.
Bree Tanner book sales in the U.S. have put the novella at the top of USA Today's best-seller list.

David Slade reveals which 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' scene had to be edited for rating's sake
Kimberley French - © Summit Ent., L.L.C. All rights reserved.
Director David Slade talked about that issue with FearNET, saying that "We have like six decapitations in Eclipse! We smash people's heads off, bite people's heads off, I mean -- I was amazed we got the rating we did, the MPAA only threw back one thing: we had this one part in the battle where Emmett just tears someone's face off.

So the shot's still in there, but you don't see the face come off, you just see little bits of stuff breaking off."
Anyone hope to see an Emmett face smash sequence in the DVD's extended/deleted scenes? Maybe this will be the first Twilight Saga "Unrated" DVD release!

Jodelle Interview
Twilight Examiner has an interview with Jodelle Ferland. It is part of the Fansite Friday interviews.
Check it all out here.
Here is an excerpt:
Q: Stephenie Meyer posted a photo on her website of you with a burnt copy of the story. Was the similarity to your character’s fate intentional?
Jodelle: Oh wow, I hadn’t even thought of that! What happened was I read the story, and then we were supposed to get rid of it as soon as I read it. You obviously can’t just throw something like that in the garbage, so we were trying to figure out how we were going to get rid of it. Ripping it up wouldn’t really work, and we didn’t have a shedder or anything. We had a bucket, and some matches! We lit the matches in the bucket and tossed it in! It was quite fun actually. [laughs] Then we sent a picture to Stephenie, to prove it. That actually is a really good point, it relates to vampires and burning.

Here is part of it:
On style:
Also about a year back I begged a friend from college – now a costume designer and stylist with the absolute most beautiful taste – to go through my closet with me. We quickly realized that I never wore any of my nice clothes because I was afraid I would ruin them. She taught me the importance of actually ‘getting dressed’ in the mornings, as opposed to ‘clothing my body’. It’s made a BIG difference. And now I feel far less wasteful since I am actually wearing all of my clothes!

Here is an excerpt:
“I enjoyed the stuff with Bree [Jodelle Ferland] and Dakota [Fanning]. Dakota is really scary in this movie [laughs]. She’s so unsettling because she has that angelic face, and she’s so terrifying. I mean, genuinely. It was impressive. Her character intimidated our characters so genuinely, which is great as an actor, to watch a 15-year-old come up and scare the s–t out of you. We were genuinely scared.”
