The 100 Coolest things on the planet: Twilight makes the cut!
Kristen “not likely” to get role in ‘Girl with a Dragon Tattoo’
We thought Kristen Stewart would be perf for the coveted role (Ellen Page is a close second). If you’ve read the book, the attitude is so K.Stew. But we’re sad to report Kristen’s chances of being Lisbeth are “not likely.”Read more here.
It’s a catch-22 for you Stewart lovers. You can thank Bella Swan as the reason why it’s looking like Kristen won’t be able to be a part of this successful franchise.
“Kristen Stewart is being considered [for the role], but she has not screen-tested,” a source tells E!. “It looks like she may be out of the running because of Twilight scheduling conflicts.”
A source over at Summit confirms that. With production on Girl With the Dragon Tattoo slated to begin at the end of September, Stewart’s schedule probably wouldn’t allow her to be a part of the flick.
“Don’t think so,” quipped one of our insiders over at Summit when we asked if there was a chance Kristen actually could do Dragon.
“Production dates are not firm,” our coy source at Summit told us, “but it’s still looking like Breaking Dawn will start production in Louisiana in the fall, probably October or November.”
Sony is looking to cast Lisbeth Salander ASAP. The studio will shoot the entire movie in Sweden this September and it will be part of a trilogy. The leads are being asked to sign up for all three movies, and thus, will be locked in for a considerable amount of time.
Twilight Makes “Time Magazine’s” Top 10 Leaks
In 2005, rookie author Stephenie Meyer wrote a book about vampires in just a few months. Faster than she’d written it, Twilight leapt from bookshelves and the world met Bella, Edward and the rest of the Cullen clan. Told from Bella’s point of view, Twilight is the story of a star-crossed couple who cannot consummate their romance because Bella’s love, Edward, is a vampire. Meyer followed her breakthrough with three sequels in the next three years, all of which became gigantic bestsellers.Source: Time.
In 2008, she tried something different (sort of) by retelling the events of the first books, only from Edward’s point of view. Sooner than you can say “glittering vampire,” 12 unfinished chapters from the new manuscript, Midnight Sun, appeared on the Internet. “I think it is important for everybody to understand that what happened was a huge violation of my rights as an author, not to mention me as a human being,” Meyer said in a message to fans. Rather than punish her loyal following, Meyer posted her entire unfinished Midnight Sun draft on her website. The only catch is that it’s unprintable — better bring an e-reader.
Finance Foodie Blog Interviews Michael Welch
“Finance Foodie Blog” recently interviewed Michael Welch about Twilight and his life now that he’s famous. Here’s a couple excerpts. Read the whole thing at Finance Foodie.
Q: I know you do a lot of those Twicon fan conventions and i wonder if you enjoy doing them. What do you think of those things for real?MW: I actually enjoy them a lot! I hope it doesn’t sound disingenuous saying that but I really do. First of all, it’s a great opportunity to meet with the fans and to really get a sense of not only the impact that the Twilight series has had on our culture but the joy and passion it has created in people’s lives. To get to see that up-close is refreshing in a lot of ways–it sort of puts things in perspective. Some questions the fans ask are difficult to answer. People write their questions down ahead of time and then people who are on tour with the convention who are dressed like characters from the films pick out questions and they try to typically pick out fresh and new questions for us–so that we don’t get the same ones all the time (during the Q&A sessions at the conventions). And I get to host a karaoke party at each convention!
Q: OK, really last question: are you doing Breaking Dawn?MW: I don’t know yet. I have not officially been invited back at this point. i would love to be a part of it as long as they will have me–the only thing that I really know about the film at all at this point is that they have signed (director) Bill Condon and i would love to work with him. And I think they are still working out the details if they are making Breaking Dawn in one parts or two, but I know the film will be in the work by the end of the year.

New Article About Taylor’s Upcoming Movie ‘Abduction’
Taylor Lautner wowed fans with his physique in Twilight sequel “New Moon” and “Eclipse,” but in his new film, “Abduction,” he really gets to show off his martial arts skills. If you weren’t on Team Jacob before, you will be now.
Lautner, 18, is busy shooting “Abduction” in Pittsburgh, Pa., where he’s causing quite a stir with local fans.Source
“There are hundreds of teenage girls camping out to meet him that have to be held back by barriers,” says co-star Isaacs.
“Abduction” is a thriller that focuses on a youth (Lautner) who discovers the parents who raised him aren’t his real folks, a revelation that triggers events and leaves him running for his life.
The movie really puts Taylor’s skils to the test running, jumping and fighting.
And he just doesn’t look good, he’s super-athletic in the movie, showcasing the martial-arts and gymnastic skills he learned on his way to becoming a junior world karate champ.
“He’s a martial arts prodigy,” co-star Jason Isaacs told Metro yesterday (July 25). “Even at 11 he looked like [movie star and martial arts champion] Bruce Lee. He’s a phenomenon; he’s like a gold-medal gymnast.”
Well, gold medal may be a bit of an exaggeration, but Issacs, 47, got a chance to see Lautner’s skills first hand.
He was initially apprehensive about doing fight scenes against an expert like Lautner.
“He’s been doing karate since he was six!” says Jason. “I’ve done 10 kickboxing lessons.
“Hollywood decided he is the latest action hero, apparently, and I’m there in this film to make him look even more muscular. And I’ll do that.”
This isn’t the first time a castmate was amazed by Lautner’s super-athleticism. In June, Eclipse co-star Elizabeth Reaser (“Esme Cullen”) raved that Taylor was the fittest person she had ever seen.
Taylor, who famously gained 30 pounds of rippling muscle for “Twilight: New Moon” and “Eclipse,” reveals he did fight training and boxing for the intense action scenes in “Abduction.”
“I’ve been training,” Taylor said. “I did boxing training for a couple months. Now I’m into the fight training, motorcycle. ‘ll do a little swimming training. It’s all-around. It’s going to be a lot of fun.”
The action and stuntwork is right up Lautner’s alley. Taylor, a junior-world karate champ at age 12, says he would love to be action hero like fictional superspy Jason Bourne (played by Matt Damon).
“I love action, but most important is the story,” he says. “And the story behind this action thriller ['Abduction'] is amazing. We got [director] John Singleton behind us. I’m so thankful we’re getting a cast like that.”
Later this year, Taylor will begin shooting “Breaking Dawn,” the fourth installment in the “Twilight” saga.
Breaking Dawn will be broken up into two separate films, with Part 1 due out in November 2011.
Taylor Lautner on Jacob Black vs Edward Cullen
Taylor Lautner is glad that Twilight characters Jacob Black and Edward Cullen connect with each other in the new movie.
The werewolf and the vampire, played by Taylor and Robert Pattinson, 24, put their differences aside in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and join forces.
‘Jacob hated Edward with a passion, but now they are forced to team up,’ says Taylor, 18.
‘We have a moment where I have to hate and understand him at the same time.
‘It’s the first moment where we’re able to connect.’
The rivals team up to protect the woman at the centre of their love triangle – Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart).
‘As much as we hate each other, we kinda respect each other,’ says Taylor, 18. ‘We go: “Let’s put this all aside and fight for Bella.”‘
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse has received 17 nominations for the Teen Choice Awards on 8 August.

Edi Gathegi To Star In X-Men: First Class!
New Moon-er Edi Gathegi (aka Laurent) is set to star in X-Men: First Class, according to DeadLine.com -
EXCLUSIVE: Edi Gathegi, who played a chillingly evil vampire in Twilight and Twilight Saga: New Moon, is joining X-Men: First Class in the role of Darwin. That character, the first bi-racial mutant (in the comic series), has the power of “reactive evolution,” which allows him to adapt to any situation or environment. Plunged underwater, he’ll grow gills, he’ll gain night vision in pitch black and his skin grows fire retardant when burned.Gathegi, who played Laurent in the Twilight films, just wrapped production on the Paul Johansson-directed adaptation of the Ayn Rand novel Atlas Shrugged. He’s repped by Paradigm and Framework.
