In other Malick news, Michael Sheen revealed toMark Kermode and Simon Mayo [via The Playlist] that he shot a scene for the untitled drama:Read the entire article here.
“My girlfriend [McAdams] was in a film that Terrence Malick did so I went to visit her on set, and apparently, if you’re an actor and you turn up on a Terrence Malick set, he asks you to be in his film. So I got to be Ben Affleck’s boss for a day.”
Sheen is a nice addition to the already great cast of Affleck, McAdams, Olga Kurylenko, Javier Bardem, Rachel Weisz, Barry Pepper, and Jessica Chastain. Neat insight into Malick’s process, too. The director is known for removing characters in post-productions: Billy Bob Thornton, Martin Sheen, Gary Oldman, Bill Pullman, Lukas Haas, Jason Patric, Viggo Mortensen, andMickey Rourke all shot scenes for The Thin Red Line that were edited out by the final cut. Sheen’s role sounds like a very good candidate for the cutting room floor, but we’ll see.

Taylor Lautner’s decision to risk ‘Abduction’
Check out Taylor discussing filming Abduction. He is promoting the release of Abduction, out on DVD January 17.
For his first post-Twilight leading role,Read more at: Digital Journal Via: Twilight LexiconTaylor Lautner worked with Boyz N The Hood director John Singleton in the fast-paced thriller Abduction. Although Lautner laments the end of The Twilight Saga, he is anxious to do more nail-biters like Abduction.
After becoming an international superstar as part of the cast of the global box office phenomenon – The Twilight Saga (of five films) — Taylor Lautner chose to team up with director John Singleton (the filmmaker behind such contemporary classics Poetic Justice, Boyz n the Hood) for a cinematic change of pace — playing the leading man in the adrenaline-pumping thriller Abduction (now available on VOD; coming to Blu-ray Disc and DVD).
You worked the red carpet at the premiere for Abduction, like a pro. You talked to the media but you spent a lot of time with your fans, too.“Yeah, that’s always one of the most important parts for me, and it was great. There was a lot of fans there. It was awesome. There was a lot of energy. It was kind of myDo you ever get tired of the screaming girls and fainting fans?first premiere outside of Twilight in a while. I did Valentine’s Day, but I didn’t know how it was going to be and the energy felt the exact same which was amazing.”
“To be honest, no. I mean, I’m sure that there might be moments, like maybe if I’m tired or something and I’m just waking up, but not really. If that’s their way of showing their passion then I will take it.”Your Abduction costar Jason Isaacs said the hardcore fans were camped out on the set every day to get a glimpse of you in the car…“There was a lot of fans on set. I think probably the highlight, we were actually there for a week. We were filming in a random city called Sutterville and there was a population of six hundred people and one night we had over eight hundred girls on set. So, there was definitely a few people driving in from different cities. It was pretty impressive. There were some great fans there in Sutterville.”How do you handle that? You can’t talk to all of them.“I found a way to. It was tiring because we were actually filming nights there. So, you show up at 8PM and work until 5AM. At 5AM I would go out and there would literally be eight hundred people down the street. I would go out and pretty much take pictures with all of them. It took about an hour and we tried to do it fast. Doing it fast for eight hundred people was still an hour. But it was important to me.”Any crazy fan encounters?“No, nothing crazy. I think that I had like three hundred people in my front lawn at one point, but that was about it.”That’s not crazy at all.(Laughs) “They were behaved fans though.”Where do you see yourself two years from now when the Twilight phenomenon is all said and done? What direction do you want to go?
“That’s a good question. If you had asked me that question two years ago I wouldn’t have guessed that I’d be sitting here today, but my goal is tocontinue to challenge myself in a wide variety of roles and genres. I mean, what attracted me to this, another thing, was that it was different than anything that I’d ever done before. I had a great experience with it. I love it, but now I’m definitely looking forward to doing something completely different from this.”What about a musical?“I do want to challenge myself, but probably not that much. My fans would not want to see that.”Would you do another franchise like the Twilight series?“Yeah, if it made sense. You take it one movie at a time and if people enjoy it and I love it then I’m definitely open to the idea.”ABDUCTION: Blu-Ray/DVD available January 17 — Bonus Features: “Abduction Chronicle” – On-Camera Production Journal with Taylor Lautner; “Initiation of an Action Hero: Taylor’s Amazing Stunts” featurette; “The Fight For The Truth: Making Abduction” featurette; “Pulled Punches” Gag Reel and Abduction Application: Blu-ray Enhanced Viewing Mode – An in-depth original and personal look at the film with the cast and crew.

Next Movie’s ’20 Sexiest Screen Couples of 2011′
Check out who made Next Movie‘s ’20 Sexiest Screen Couples of 2011′!
As the year draws to an end, we can’t help but reflect on all the memorable movies and stand out performances of 2011. But nothing made our hearts skip a collective beat like the actors who scorched up the big screen with their scintillating romances this year.
Whether it was teen newlyweds who brought new meaning to the idea of everlasting love, best friends who finally gave in to their undeniable feelings or superheroes who couldn’t resist the magnetic pull of attraction, these couples had it bad for each other, and we for them. Take a look at the 20 sexiest cinematic couples of 2011.
16. Taylor Lautner & Lily Collins, ‘Abduction’
After years of watching Lautner’s broody Jacob Black pine for Bella in the “Twilight” series, it’s refreshing to see the hunky star finally get the girl (the lovely Collins). That scene on the train alone — when Lautner literally sweeps Collins off her feet — qualifies as one of the best kisses of 2011.
15. Robert Pattinson & Reese Witherspoon, ‘Water for Elephants’
Oh the angst — the heartbreaking angst, and few young actors handle it as sexily as R.Pattz. As an orphaned college dropout who runs away with the circus, Pattinson’s young Jacob falls desperately in love with the show’s married star, played by the blonde and beautiful Reese Witherspoon.
3. Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart, ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1′
After three movies of pent-up longing and waiting, audiences finally get to see Bella (Stewart) join her dazzling Edward (Pattinson) at the altar. At last, Bella and Edward do what honeymooners do — and that extended skinny-dipping, bed-breaking, chess-playing, lovemaking sequence is a Twi-hard’s dream come true.

Carter Burwell on Twilight, Breaking Dawn & his Inspiration
It was like a scene out of a movie. Film score composer Carter Burwellwrote the final cue to The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (Part I) at his piano in the country by theRead the entire interview HEREflickering light of an oil lamp.
“I was out at my place in Amagansett trying to finish up the score when Hurricane Irene hit and took out my power,” Burwell describes. “And it stayed out for four days. So I ended up writing the ending in this darkened, boarded up house.
“It was interesting and painful at the same time,” he says, with a laugh. “But it worked out.”
Being forced to compose the old-fashioned way is not as extreme an exercise for Burwell as it might be for another composer; he does write most of his themes at the piano. And the storm made a perfectly dark and romantic setting in which to conjure the final scene’s music, where Burwell reprises the soaring “Bella’s Lullaby” theme from the first Twilight, with liturgical sounds. Without spoiling the ending, it’s a heavy, most climactic scene.
Looking over your filmography, it seems like you haven’t scored a sequel before. You did the first Twilight but not the second and third. Can you tell me about how you came to doBreaking Dawn, the fourth of the Twilight films?
It’s true, I’ve never scored a sequel. But it’s pretty simple – I’ve worked with this director – Bill Condon – before [on Kinsey]. Bill wanted me to do the scores, but he wasn’t sure I would want to because they’re such huge melodramas, and that’s really very different than what I normally do. But he is entirely a pleasure to work with so I definitely wanted to do it.
When I was composing music for the first Twilight, I don’t think any of us knew that it would be thatpopular… that it would have this cultural resonance. There was such an enormous response. There have been thousands of emails people have written me, wanting to knowhow to play the themes on piano. And that has been really nice.
Oh that’s really cool – the fans genuinely engaging with the film’s score. Wow. So, in scoring this latest film, did you reprise any of those themes from the first? How did youcontinue that work you’d done on the first one, or did you not approach it like that at all?
Well, I did to some extent. The intervening two films were directed by different people and composed by different people and they didn’t use any of the musical themes from the first one.
But there’s this one love theme called “Bella’s Lullaby” that was on the Twilight soundtrack album and that’s the one that most people respond to from the first movie. And when I first talked to Bill Condon, he was excited to bring back “Bella’s Lullaby” – so we have brought it back, judiciously. There’s a hint of it here and there, and then in the last scene of this movie, we actually play it out. And it’s pretty dramatic.

Robert Pattinson’s Interview with Philippine Daily Inquirer
Breaking into his impish grin, Robert said about an actor in a much-anticipated scene in “Breaking Dawn – Part 1,” “I thought he was a real priest in the scene when we were getting married. He kept forgetting what our characters’ names were. He called us Robert and Kristen. She told me that he wasn’t a real priest.”Read more here!
Asked how many beds were used in his bed-shaking sex scene with Kristen, Robert laughed and replied, “It was just one bed but it was a trick bed. It was unusual to do a sex scene when there’s a whole stunt set-up. There were three guys behind the bed who controlled the bed. I’m trying to do a sex scene and a guy is cueing me for when the bed breaks. I’m also looking at the big guy lying underneath, on thefloor .”
He explained, “When you’re doing a sex scene, people don’t really give you that much pressure on the set because for one thing, a director doesn’t want tostep in and suggest how he would do it (laughing). Because it’s probably uncomfortable for him, too.”
“I was protective of Kristen,” he admitted about filming the scene. “She is so much more comfortable with her body than I am. I was thinking, we must keep the sheet up in between takes. But that was really more for her. That was probably the scariest part – having to be judged by your physicality. I was trying to avoid that in the entire series.”
Robert didworkouts to be in shape for the shirtless scenes. “Yeah, for a while,” he said. With a chuckle, he quipped,“But as soon as I didn’t have to take my shirt off, I stopped.”

Carolina Herrera Talks About the Inspiration for Bella’s Wedding Gown
…Even Mrs. Herrera, brought on by the “Twilight” author, Stephenie Meyer, hasn’t revealed so much as a silhouette or a neckline. Mrs. Meyer’s 2008 book, “Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, Book 4),” offers only quick glimpses of the dress, like “a long line of pearl buttons” up the back.Source/via
“I wanted the dress to have a period feel without being actually vintage,” Mrs. Meyer, who collaborated with Ms. Herrera, said in an e-mail [to the NYT].
Mrs. Herrera, whose gowns typically begin at $4,000, was equally cryptic in an e-mail:“Of course, I was inspired by Stephenie’s description of the gown in the book,” she wrote. “I also took into consideration the personality and the style of the bride.”
After being sent repeated e-mails asking for an image of the dress, Eric Kops, Summit’s senior vice president for publicity, responded: “We are saving the reveal of the dress as a surprise for the fans when they see the film. Therefore, we aren’t planning to release any images showing the dress until after the film in theatres.”
Robert Pattinson Talks with The Herald Sun “Kristen Really Connected to This Film”
The guitar-playing actor reveals that the harrowing childbirth scenes were tough to watch, given that Bella was writhing in pain and covered in blood for most of the scenes.Read more at the source!
He not only found the on-set experience intense but also had some trouble coming to terms with his place in the movie.
“Kristen really connected to this film – she thought that it was Bella’s journey and that it was really important. But when I first read the script, I was so frustrated because what is Edward supposed to do, when he’s on the sidelines, worrying?” muses the Londoner.
“By the time I was called on to the set, Kristen had gone so far beating herself up that I was terrified – and I hadn’t been terrified since the first movie.
“We shot the childbirth scenes as continuous sequence, from when she goes into labour to the birth, so we really had to commit to what we were doing.
“By then, Edward’s really beaten down and has to give up his ego.
“It’s only in part 2 that Edward rebuilds himself again and I admire him for that.”
The 25-year-old heartthrob says it was emotionally challenging to act around all the special effects that show Bella’s emaciated body giving birth to baby Renesmee.
“Kristen’s head was attached to a dummy body which had gore all over it, and she was wearing a tornhospital gown . It looked unbelievably bad. It was more like aSaw movie than a Twilight movie.
“And the dummy was so realistic I was shocked when I first walked on set – to see anyone you know look like that is just horrible.”
Did he try on Bella’s fake pregnancy belly?
“I wanted to but they wouldn’t let me,” he laughs.
Hype around the movie has been growing ever since the producers released photographs of the much anticipated Edward/Bella wedding.
Pattinson remembers the day they said their “I do’s” with some amusement, mostly because as the groom no one was interested in his outfit.
“We had all these paparazzihelicopters above and no one asked me to hide as it was all about the dress,” he recalls in wonderment.
“I was standing there in the wide open wearing a tuxedo and Kristen was shrouded in secrecy with this dress on.”

Fandango’s Interview with Rob, Kristen and Taylor for Breaking Dawn
Here is part of the interview with Kristen, Rob and Taylor. To read more, please visit Fandango!
Q: Kristen, did any of Bella’s qualities stick with you after portraying her for so many years?
Kristen Stewart: Not really, only because I’m pretty wrapped up in her. I’ve always felt that you really project yourself onto a character. If you’re the type of girl to identify with Bella, then you just kind of are her. I genuinely had to justify every decision she made the whole way through. Sometimes your character in films would do things you wouldn’t do. You’re not playing yourself all the time, but somehow, I could not disagree with her, ever.
Q: Robert, how has your Twilight experience affected you?Robert Pattinson: It presented a whole variety of obstacles in terms of how you grow and figure out who you want to be. It’s like a very complicated maze. I didn’t even know if I was going tocontinue acting before this happened, and now, I have much more of a drive and passion for it than I ever did before.
Q: Kristen, what do Taylor and Rob bring to the experience?Stewart: I can’t imagine what this movie would’ve been if I didn’t have really, really solid – and always growing – relationships with them… When you work with people like that, you can give so much, you’re so comfortable, you can do no wrong. We got along and so it shows.
Q: Taylor, can you understand why Jacob would not just let Bella go?Taylor Lautner: I go back and forth with Jacob’s persistence. Most of the time, yeah, I can understand it, because there’ve been things in my life that I have wanted so much and when you’re told no, you just gotta go for it. If you’re told no, and you say oh ok, and you give up, I wouldn’t be sitting here today. If you believe in something, if you love something, you gotta go for it no matter what. So most of the time, I could relate.

Taylor Lautner’s Breaking Dawn interview with Teen Hollywood
Check out the interview of Taylor and read more at Teen Hollywood.
Team Jacob will be stoked to see their hero take charge of his own wolf pack, become a man and re-gear his attention and affections to Bella’s extraordinary daughter in the Breaking Dawn segment of the film series.TeenHollywood: Jacob has a very emotional group of transitions in this film. He’s more mature. How did you approach that as an actor?Taylor: Yeah, I was really excited about this one, because Jacob becomes a man in this one and he has to make a lot of decisions. He’s being torn between his two families. It was really tough. It was by far the most challenging one for me, but I didn’t know what to think going into it. As soon as the three of us sat down with Bill (Condon, director), we just dove right into it and we talked about the characters and I really can say that I couldn’t have done it without Bill’s help. He was absolutely amazing in talking to us all the time and I trusted him completely.TeenHollywood: How do you feel about your performance now that you’ve seen it?
Taylor: It was really special and now seeing the movie, I’m really happy. Jacobstarts here and he ends here (going from one hand to the other, showing growth), and it’s just very exciting to see him in a completely different light than ever before.
TeenHollywood: Jacob imprints on Bella’s daughter Renesmee who isa baby . How weird was that scene for you?
Taylor: Oh, you had to go there. That was tough because what is imprinting? What do you look like when you imprint? Those were all the questions going through my head. Luckily we had Stephenie on set the entire time, and trust me, I asked her a million times, ‘Okay, explain to me one more time what imprinting is exactly. And did you ever envision what Jacob would look like? What is he doing when he’s imprinting?’ It was very, very confusing. So there was a lot of conversation about that.
And then it didn’t help that, when we filmed it, they put an X on a wall and said, ‘This is Renesmee, you’re going to walk in the room, you’re going to look at the X and you’re going to imprint.’ And I’m like, ‘Are you kidding me?’ It was tough, it really was, but now after seeing the final version I’m really happy with it. It’s emotional. They did a really good job with bringing back cool flashbacks and tying it in in a way so it works, so it really is a very special moment, but on the day, it was aleap of faith .
TeenHollywood: Were you at all bummed that after going after Bella all this time Edward gets a hot vampire bride and you get a baby.
Taylor: Yeah, I’ve gotten over that by now, but I remember the first time reading the book when it came out and I’m like, ‘Alright, what’s going to happen? Is Edward gonna end up with Bella? Is Jacob gonna end up with Bella?’ I was so confused, I was like, ‘Wait, he’s trying to get Bella the whole time and he strikes out so goes with her child?’ You have to tread lightly, because it’s a very special thing and it’s not romantic at all, so we definitely had to film it in a certain way and I think Bill did an incredible job with that.
TeenHollywood: Now that you’ve finished playing Jacob, is there any part of the character that will stick with you?
Taylor: Yeah, absolutely. I mean, after playing the same character for five movies and for years you grow so close to him and you start putting yourself into Jacob and you start putting Jacob into you. I love Jacob. There’s many things that I look up to Jacob for. Jacob’s one of the most loyal people, one of the most persistent people. He has amazing qualities to him that I hope I can learn from him and implement into my own life, which is kind of cool.
TeenHollywood: The music is so important to these films. What’s on your iPod? Any particular tracks on your playlist right now?
Taylor: I am so all over the place with my music taste it’s ridiculous. I find myself listening to weird things like hardcore techno music and then I’ll be listening to mainstream hip-hop. I’ll listen to a song, I’ll become obsessed with it, and then I’m on to the next one, so it’s just very inconsistent.
TeenHollywood: Can you understand why Jacob will just not let go of Bella? Some guys would just be like, ‘Okay, fine, you’re married now.’ And also, could you talk about your very last scene that you ever filmed as Jacob?
Taylor: Yeah, I go back and forth with Jacob’s persistence. I mean, most of the time, I can understand it, because there’s been things in my life that I have wanted so much and when you’re told ‘no’ you’ve gotta to keep going, you’ve gotta go for it, because if you just say, ‘Oh, okay,’ and you give up [you don’t get anywhere]. I wouldn’t be sitting here today. It requires a lot of hard work and a lot of persistence. If you believe in something, if you love something you’ve gotta go for it no matter what. So most of the time I could relate, but yeah, there’s moments where I’m just like, ‘Dude, you’ve got to get over it. She’s married now. She’s on her honeymoon, it’s about time to move on.’ So yeah, there are a few of those moments.
I knew filming the last scene was going to be tough but it was actually more emotional for all of us than we expected and it didn’t help that my very last scene was with Kristen and Rob comes in at the end and breaks it up, but it’s really the last dance between Bella and Jacob towards the end of their wedding. And it’s really Jacob saying goodbye to Bella. She’s off to her honeymoon and he’s kind of realizing that it’s over, everything I’ve been working for is over, and it’s really time for him to move on and realize that.
So it’s an emotional scene and we’re like saying goodbye to each other pretty much, and that was the very last scene we filmed together. So it didn’t help the situation, and I remember when we finished and Kris and I just looked at each other, and I don’t think we really had anything to say because the emotion from the scene was overwhelming us, and then the emotion of the situation on top of that, it was tough, but it was a very special moment and now, when I watch that scene, I have a lot of great memories.
TeenHollywood: What are you doing next? Are you working with director Gus Van Sant on a project based on a magazine article? Also, are you going to try to find something very different from the Jacob role?
Taylor: No, it’s definitely not a matter of just finding something that keeps your face out there. I want everything to feel special to me, and I’m very specific about that. But, it would almost be a compliment to be typecast, because that’s our jobs. Our jobs are to make the fans believe that we are these characters. That’s the goal with these fans but, at the same time, of course as actors, we want to be able to go off and do different things and challenge ourselves with many different roles.
Next, I don’t know to be honest. I’ve been promoting two back-to-back movies, and now I’ll have a little break which I’m excited for. It will give me time to catch up on sleep a little bit and also start to think what will be next. Gus Van Sant is a very talented director who I’ve always looked up to and I’ve always wanted to work with. It’s very premature, so I really don’t have much to say now, other than the fact that I really, really respect him and would love the opportunity to work with him.

Taylor Lautner teams with Gus Van Sant for new indie film
The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Taylor Lautner and Gus Van Sant (Milk, Good Will Hunting ) are teaming up for an independent film. The details of the film have not yet been revealed, but the story is based on a The New Yorker article that Taylor and his production company have optioned for film. A wirter has not yet been announced, but Lautner and Van Sant were seen having dinner with Academy Award winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black (Milk).
Get ready for Taylor Lautner, independent film star.Read more here.
The Twilight actor, fresh from the disappointing performance of September’s action thriller Abduction, is about to move into arthouse territory. Sources tell TheHollywood Reporter that Lautner is finalizing a deal to team with auteur director Gus Van Sant (Milk, Drugstore Cowboy) on a small-budget film based on a nonfiction article in TheNew Yorker magazine that Lautner has optioned.
[...]
The new project would almost certainly take Lautner’s career in a new direction. He is said to be determined to work only with top directors and writers from now on as he strives to define himself as an actor.
Lautner also will produce the project via Quick Six, the production shingle he runs with father Dan Lautner.

What Musicians/Bands do Twilight Fans want to hear on the Breaking Dawn Sountrack?
On Monday, the full track list for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1‘s Soundtrack will be unveiled, and only Bruno Mars has been
10. Linkin Park – Linkin Park was one of the bands which Stephenie Meyer cited as a big inspiration for her in writing the Twilight Saga. They appeared on the first soundtrack, for Twilight, but their “Leave Out all the Rest” was not an original song composed specifically for the Saga. Since the style of Twilight Saga soundtracks ever since the first has been to include songs completely unique to the albums, having a new Linkin Park contribution would be great.Read the top 4 bands/musicians fan want to hear on the Breaking Dawn soundtrack HERE
9. Bobby Long and/or Marcus Foster – Bobby Long and Marcus Foster both had a hand in the first soundtrack, having been the writers of Robert Pattinson’s “Let Me Sign,” but they have been steadilyearning their place in the music industry outside of the Saga. Foster recently released his “I Was Broken” music video with Kristen Stewart featured in it, though, so he’s clearly not opposed to keeping the Twilight roots intact. Perhaps a book-ended contribution from either or both would be appropriate for Breaking Dawn, even if it is just written lyrics again.
8. The Black Keys – “Chop and Change” was a big success for the Eclipse soundtrack, and The Black Keys have been enjoying immense success over the past couple of years. Many, many responders said they hope to see The Black Keys show up again on the Breaking Dawn album.
7. Muse - It’s almost a given, at this point, that Twilight fans will want to see Muse on the soundtrack. This was the number two most popular suggestion after the query, and it’s hardly any wonder why. Muse’s been a part of each Twilight album to-date, and the landscape of the Twilight soundtracks just wouldn’t be the same without their involvement. Twilight wouldn’t be the same without them, in fact.
6. Blue October – There’s been a lot of back-and-forth between Justin Furstenfeld and Twilight. He and Stephenie Meyer have a great relationship – following his inclusion in her Breaking Dawn press tour in 2008 – but things just haven’t panned out for Blue October and the Saga‘s soundtracks yet. Many fans hope that Breaking Dawn will be the one that brings Blue October into the Twilight Saga musican manifold, once and for all.
5. 100 Monkeys – Jackson Rathbone and his 100 Monkeys have become a staple of the Twilight series, even though they’ve yet to have a song on any soundtrack. The band has thrived despite intense filming schedules and location changes, and they’ve just completed a big tour across the United States. Their second album, “Liquid Zoo,” just made waves, and they’ve probably got something worth including on the Breaking Dawn album tucked away.

Catherine Hardwicke to Give Workshop
Hardwicke also will discuss her experience directing Twilight, the vampire blockbuster that grossed $69.6 million on opening weekend — the highest opening ever for a film by a female director.More details here!
“I’ll talk about how we prepped the treetop sequence and the seven different locations we used to film that — what was the first unit shot, what was the second unit shot, what did Rob [Pattinson] and Kristen [Stewart] do, where we put the platform.”
Hardwicke, who began hercareer in Hollywood as a production designer, said she developed her techniques through trial and error, a year of schooling at the University of California, Los Angeles, and watching andworking with a number of “awesome directors” including Cameron Crowe, David Russell and Lisa Cholodenko.
“Being aproduction designer , I was a department head right in there with them, next to them, coming up with ideas, pitching, running through rehearsals with them,” she said.
“I saw a variety of directors’ techniques and then on each movie I used what seemed to work best for that film.”

Carter Burwell completes ‘Breaking Dawn, Part 1′ score
Bill Condon and partner Jack Morrissey have been spending some time in London where the score for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1, was being recorded with composer Carter Burwell (who scored the original Twilight) was heading things up. Morrissey has taken to his Twitter to give some details about the recording sessions, including a couple of familiar faces who came in to show their support.
Two morsels for Friday: *The score is recorded. *I thought you’d be interested in hearing that NEW MOON composer Alexandre Desplat and ECLIPSE composer Howard Shore both happened to be in London this week and stopped by to visit TWILIGHT and BD composer Carter Burwell.Via Twilight Examiner
*Lastly — for the moment, anyway — the score was recorded at historic Abbey Road Studios (http://www.abbeyroad.com/) Still owned by the Beatles
All six STAR WARS scores were recorded there, as were all three LORD OF THE RINGS scores (also by Howard Shore), and at least HARRY POTTER 7
Eight reasons why Breaking Dawn will be the best Twilight movie yet
MSN Movies has created an list of why they think Breaking Dawn (Part 1, ) will be the best of The Twilight Saga so far.
1. Wedding BellaClick here to read the rest!
Everyone loves a good movie wedding. And by Jove they’ll get it in Breaking Dawn Part 1 as Bella and Edward tie the knot in a heart-wrenchingly romantic ceremony in the woods. Watch Bella lip-wobble up the aisle with her father at the beginning of the new trailer. You can bet fashion companies are already drafting copies of that hairpiece.
2. Vampire sex!
A steamy honeymoon scene means this will be the sexiest Twilight yet. Check out Edward sweeping up Bella and carrying her off to bed from 0:50 on the trailer. Then check out the mess they’ve made of those feather pillows. ‘Last night was the best night of my existence,’ he later says (note strategic avoidance of the word ‘life’).
A new dawn for Taylor Lautner
Here is a new candid interview with Taylor. It really is a great in-depth article. Check it out below.
Taylor Lautner thought he was safe.The 19-year-old actor — best known to millions of moviegoers as heartsick werewolf Jacob Black from the ”Twilight” movies — had driven from the home he shares with his parents in Valencia, a tranquil planned community about 30 miles north of Hollywood, to a downtown Los Angeles hotel.
He had arrived for an interview to discuss his new action film, “Abduction,” out Friday. The movie, the first directed by John Singleton (“Boyz N the Hood”) in six years, is a sort of “Bourne Identity” for the teen set. In it, Lautner stars as a high school student forced to go on the run after he discovers that his parents have been concealing a weighty secret about his background.
The rooftop meeting location had been selected for its privacy, but almost as soon as Lautner ordered an iced tea, he spotted an intruder and tensed noticeably.
“I believe I just saw a paparazzi right there,” he said, furrowing his brow. “It definitely was, because I recognized his face. Like, I’ve seen him before.”
Although said photographer never materialized again, Lautner seemed on edge for the remainder of the sitdown — perhaps channeling some of the healthy paranoia “Abduction’s” Nathan cultivates over the course of his adventures or possibly just revealing his own internal struggles with the nearly incomprehensible level of fame he’s achieved at such a young age.
He has been on high alert, so to speak, for the last three years, since the release of the first “Twilight” film propelled him and costars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson into the center of a pop culture firestorm. Adapted from the bestselling supernatural teen romance novels by Stephenie Meyer, the first three films in the franchise have grossed more than $1.8-billion worth of tickets worldwide. As a result, Lautner — along with his famously chiseled abdominal muscles — has become a staple on the bedroom wall of teenage girls.
His days as the werewolf are waning, though, with the first of the saga’s two-part finale, “Breaking Dawn,” opening Nov. 18 and the second installment hitting theaters next year. Now Lautner is looking to life post-”Twilight” and is heading into that future with a specific plan: He wants to be an action star, like Tom Cruise or “Bourne’s” Matt Damon. It’s acareer path that, should he manage it, would unquestionably keep Lautner in the bright eye of the spotlight for years. And the success or failure of “Abduction” will be the first indication of whether he can achieve his goal.
As Singleton put it: “The whole goal of the movie was all about showing that Taylor can actually carry a picture — that he’s truly a star.”
“Abduction,” Lautner said, piqued his interest because he thought the role would be demanding.“I don’t know why, but I’m always looking to challenge myself as much as possible,” he said with an earnest grin. “Plus, I had always been an action fan and been fans of actors like [Matt] Damon and Harrison Ford. What I love about their action movies is that they’re not just action movies. They’re playing a character that goes through an incredible journey.”
Singleton asked the actor to watch Cruise’s cinematic oeuvre — from “Born on the Fourth of July” to “Minority Report” — in addition to Ford’s performance in ”The Fugitive” and Robert De Niro’s in ”Raging Bull.”
“I was like afilm school teacher, talking to him about the rules of playing a hero,” Singleton said. “A hero walks upright. He walks with his head high. I was like his coach.”
To prepare physically for the film — shot in Pittsburgh over 51 days last year — Lautner learned how to ride a motorcycle and engaged in arduous boxing and wrestlingtraining .
He appears in nearly every frame of the picture, and the largely physical role allows him to showcase his propensity for stunt work. It is without question his bid to abandon his status as a teen heartthrob, a prospect that’s proved tricky for his “Twilight” colleagues.
But Singleton believes that the powers that be are invested in the young man’s success. “The industry wants new blood,” he said. “They want someone else they can build movies around. So basically, Hollywood is kind of rooting for Taylor.”“I’m just hoping that the fans can support me doing completely different things outside of the franchise,” he said. “And yeah, I mean, there probably is a lot at stake. It definitely crosses my mind, and I would be lying if I said I feel no pressure. But whenever that thought does come in my mind, I try to push it out as quickly as possible. I try and just stay focused on things that I can control.”Moments later he got ready to leave, posing for photos with a few fans who had been waiting nearby and then asking a reporter to make sure that the elusive paparazzo wasn’t still hanging around. Even a budding action star, it seems, can never be too careful.

TELE 5: How will the ‘Twilight movies’ effect pop culture movies?Read the rest of the interview HERE
Kristen Stewart: People will never forget Twilight. Movies that stick with you like that are rare. And we have inspired many new films. Hopefully I’m going to be able to be part of a few.
TELE5: Tell us a little bit of ‘Breaking Dawn’. There’s awedding , honeymoon …
Kristen: It was great to play this unshakable love. Previously there have been moments where you had to wonder if the two will make it. This time around, they are incredibly close, like a family. Bella and Edward are not only lovers, but deeply connected. They’re married, it’s done. And it’s great to see how they cope with their problems. The crisis, if they are going to have their child or not. Bella has never been so vulnerable. And he has never been so angry. This time around everything is a little more serious and somber.
TELE5: Have you yourself changed over the years?
Kristen: For me it’s really big thing coming to an end. Mycareer was very breathless. Now I can take a break and ask myself, “Where do I stand right now? How do I feel? Where do I want to go? ” I’m not used to that.
TELE5: What makes a hero in your eyes? Do you know one in real life?
Kristen: A hero wants more than just a narcissistic pursuit of happiness. Taylor, for example is such an incredibly passionate person. He has a strongerpersonality than most people I know. I’m sure in the right situation he would behave like a real hero.
