The Hillywood Show Going to Forks
Share Post

Below is the Press Release.
Cullen Sighting in Forks?!
Twilight Fandom Entertainers The Hillywood Show Make Special Appearance in Twilight’s hometown of Forks, WA
Who , What, When, Where
In Forks, the setting for Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight saga, fans will soon see Edward and Bella strolling down Forks Avenue hand in hand. The Hillywood Show, the production company that brought fans the Twilight and New Moon parodies with several million views on YouTube, will be making a very special personal appearance on August 6th and 7th in Forks. Their appearance is sponsored by Dazzled by Twilight, the company that provides the ultimate Twilight experience in Forks.
The Hillywood Show began as a fun hobby for two sisters, Hannah and Hilly Hindi, putting together parodies and spoofs in their living room with little more than a handheld camera and some convincing wigs. Their 5 to 8 minute videos involve character impersonations from films such as Pirates of the Caribbean, The Dark Knight, The Runaways and more, with their own spin on incorporating multiple references into one hilarious vignette. As their fan base grew, so did their talent, diversity and ability to connect with a loyal audience. Their recent parodies of Twilight and New Moon are now played on web sites all over the world and have created a fan base numbering in the millions. What is perhaps the most surprising fact is that all directing, editing, acting and design is done completely by Hannah and Hilly. They are also the hosts and emcees of Creation Entertainment’s Official Twilight Tour (Summit Entertainment’s licensed and endorsed convention company) and currently tour all over the country year-round with their cast of Edward, Bella, Jacob, Alice and Jasper. Their upcoming parody of Eclipse, releasing in the fall, has media in a frenzy to get a look at the girls’ next genius production. Learn more at www.TheHillywoodShow.com.

Twilight' star Ashley Greene presents at the ESPY Awards

On the red carpet for the event, Greene wore an asymmetrical orange-red dress.
On-stage, Greene presented with Tracy Morgan the award for "Best Upset."
Tracy Morgan, however, thought that the "Best Upset" was the fact that he didn't receive the part of Nelson Mandela (portrayed by Morgan Freeman) in 2009's Invictus.
He presented a skit of his audition tape for the picture, and Greene played along with his wacky antics.
Greene had reminded her fans on Twitter that she'd be a presenter at the show, and it's a good thing she did because the ESPY Awards are not usually where Twilight fans would expect to see the cast on-stage.
Here's a video of Greene's presentation with Morgan:
Twilight' stars Kellan Lutz and Gil Birmingham stepping out for good causes

Kellan Lutz will be appearing at Monday's 2010 Do Something Awards, a VH1 awards show which showcases the good deeds of celebrities.
Surprisingly, none of the Twilight cast is on the list of nominees for their charitable work (despite the tireless efforts of those like Peter Facinelli), but you can find out more about that event here.
It'll air on VH1 at 9 p.m. EST on Monday, July 19th.
Gil Birmingham will be appearing on Saturday at this weekend's Quileute Days festival in La Push, Washington.
According to PDN, "Birmingham will participate in the Saturday parade and meet with council and fans, but his schedule is not yet finalized" and "Quileute Days will run Friday through Sunday and will include traditional tribal games, softball games, a parade, vendors and more. The annual event is free, and the public is invited to attend."
How Breaking Dawn Could Effect the Louisiana Economy
As previously posted, we told you about the fourth installment of The Twilight Saga:Breaking Dawn being filmed in Vancouver and in Louisiana. The lucky location will be Baton Rouge, Louisiana and this sparks questions about boosting the town’s economy.
“Breaking Dawn,” the fourth chapter in the “Twilight” story, will be released as two separate films in the franchise, which has grossed more than $1.4 billion worldwide to date, according to a news release from Summit Entertainment.
Getting the vampire film juggernaut to the Red Stick was the result of aggressive marketing by the Baton Rouge Film Commission, said Paul Arrigo, chairman of the BRFC and president of the Baton Rouge Area Convention and Visitors Bureau.
“The Baton Rouge Film Commission was very involved with soliciting and nabbing ‘Twilight’ for Baton Rouge,” Arrigo said.
Mitchell-Smith said she worked hard to communicate constantly with the film’s producers, making herself available at all times for questions about production.
“We’re putting our best foot forward in the market and showing them exactly what it is they want to see,” she said. “This is about customer service, first and foremost.”
In addition to Louisiana’s tax incentives to production studios, Mitchell-Smith said Baton Rouge offers a wide array of benefits that lure projects to the city.
“The film industry obviously spends so much money locally that another major reason you have local offices like our Baton Rouge Film Commission is so we can be aggressive promoters and marketers of our area,” she said.
One of the city’s programs to benefit film studios is a “grassroots vendor discount program,” Mitchell-Smith said.
The program includes more than 70 local businesses, ranging from office supply stores to restaurants, spas and car rental companies, which typically offer 15- to 20-percent discounts to film productions.
In addition to helping keep production costs manageable for film studios, the program also benefits local businesses that get more traffic and can create brand awareness in the film industry, Mitchell-Smith said.
The production’s prolonged presence in Baton Rouge will be advantageous for local crew members who will have work for as long as the project is in the city.
“Sometimes you’re on a show for two to three months, then you’re looking for another production,” Mitchell-Smith said. “Folks on this [project] will have consistent employment and a huge resume builder, never even having to go to California.”
Mitchell-Smith said “Breaking Dawn” will be an “enormous boost” to Baton Rouge’s economy through set building and production work, as well as the stimulus of cast and crew who stay in hotels and eat in local restaurants.

Breaking Dawn: What We Know So Far
The most highly anticipated movie from The Twilight Saga is of course Breaking Dawn. With all of the rumors and speculations in the air, one can only guess as to what the final decisions will be. Well Pop Sugar has a break down of what we know so far.
As racy as that tropical island honeymoon sex scene in “Breaking Dawn” has the potential to be, the movies will stay PG-13, a Summit Entertainment executive told MTV News last week. Intrepid MTV News reporter Eric Ditzian spoke with distribution chief Richie Fay for all the advance “Breaking Dawn” details he could squeeze out of the guy, so we decided to make it easy on all of you, and give you a roundup of what we know so far:
1. IT WON’T BE RATED R
“I don’t see it ever becoming an R-rated movie,” Fay said. “The middle road we have to travel is a mutual respect as to staying true to the book but not turning off your audience.
“It’s always with the eye of making Stephenie Meyer happy and making the audience happy,” he added. “I can’t say for a fact, but I just don’t see us getting into an R-rated area with any of the ‘Twilight’ titles.”
2. PART 2 DOES NOT HAVE A RELEASE DATE
“We’ve targeted a number of dates, and we have yet to determine when it will happen,” Fay said. “We haven’t even determined that it will be the summer. It’s still the source of discussions.
“We might have a preference when we see where ‘Eclipse’ ends up,” he said of whether it’ll be released in summer or winter of 2012. “It certainly might color our thinking, but we’re comfortable with either place. Right now, it’s a bit early in that stage of planning.”
3. FILMING IN 3-D IS STILL A STRONG POSSIBILITY
“That decision has yet to be made,” Fay said. “It’s still the source of a discussion.”
While rising 3-D ticket prices are a consideration, it’s mostly a creative issue. “There’s certainly a financial part of the discussion,” he said. “And yes, there’s a certain amount of technology that has to be considered and accounted for. But it really comes down to the creative folks.”
“In any of these roundtabls conversations, [Summit CEO] Rob Friedman has always been concerned about the ‘Twilight’ patron,” Fay added. “His concern is always the people that come in to see this movie. He doesn’t want to turn them off or offend. That’s why it’s a creative decision. A big factor is the perception of our audience. What are their feelings going to be? If it lends itself to being a better movie because of 3-D, then that’s the technology we’ll use.”

Robert Pattinson Says Fans Protect Him From Paparazzi
Paparazzi have always been a long-time nuisance for celebrities all over the world. But then what would we do without them? But when things go from bothersome to troublesome, that’s when the paparazzi game can be a bit of an annoyance, and the fans of Robert Pattinson were not having it on the set of Water For Elephants.
ROBERT PATTINSON’s fans came to his rescue on the set of WATER FOR ELEPHANTS – they forced the paparazzi to stop snapping the star as he shot dangerous scenes with REESE WITHERSPOON.(Source:ContactMusic)
Snappers frequently descended on the California set to try and catch Pattinson and Witherspoon at work, and at one stage they were distracting the pair during a scene – but the Twilight star’s waiting fans saved the day.
He tells Telepoche magazine, “(The funniest fan experience) happened while I was filming Water for Elephants in which my partner is Reese Witherspoon. We had a scene with elephants but there were so many paparazzi around that it was scaring the animals and it was impossible to film.
“Out of the blue, fans, that were waiting for autographs, had enough and circled around the paparazzi. Teens made big guys run away. It was unreal! I was pleased.”

Dakota Fanning in Canadian Flare Magazine
On her down-to-earth daily life: “I have such a normal life when I’m not working . . . It’s just nice to be around people you care about and who know you best.”
On acting alongside Kristen in Eclipse: “Kristen is one of my best friends, so it was really funny playing her enemy in Eclipse . . . But that’s what acting is and when they yell ‘cut,’ you can go back to your normal self.”
On her favorite wardrobe staple: “In Push, I wear these Doc Martens. They’re worn-in and they’re so soft, and they’re one of the only ones that were made with a zipper. That has affected my style in a completely new way. Now I wear them every day.”
On the career legacy she hopes she’ll leave: “I hope people will have been moved by something that I’ve done or [that I've] helped somebody through a hard time . . . and that I’ve stayed true to who I am and have been a nice person.”

Robert Interview
The Mirror has an interview with Robert Pattinson.
Check it all out here.
Here is an excerpt:
Have your mates ever called you Edward by mistake?
People have called me Edward – not family, that would be weird! My mates might have done it to rib me. They don’t really know about Twilight, but some of them found out about this R-Pattz thing, so now one of them always calls me R-Pattz, which he thinks is hilarious.
Edward can read thoughts. If we could hear your thoughts, what would they sound like?
Complete silence, dust blowing in the wind. Or maybe just like white noise…
What aspects of Edward do you most identify with?
It’s changed a bit in this film. In the first two, I guess there was his feeling that you can’t relate to anyone, or no one can relate to you. I was like, ’I never want to talk to anyone’. I used to feel like that when I was younger. I’ve grown up now.
Are you a traditionalist, like Edward?
It is quite pronounced in the movie, and I respect that, but when I work on other films, I want to play really amoral characters. I don’t feel like I have to stand by his values, but I respect them. I guess courtship is a good thing, but only if it’s pleasurable. Some people meet each other in a bar and sleep with each other that night, then stay with each other for the rest of their lives. Or they could stay with each other and never get married. It just doesn’t make any difference.
Melissa Interview
Pop Sugar has an interview with Melissa Rosenberg.
Check it all out here.
Here is an excerpt:
PS: How involved is Stephenie Meyer in the writing process and what is your relationship with her like?
MR: Stephenie is very involved. My relationship with her has only gotten better with every movie. When I met her and began to engage, I had no reason to be protective. I found her to be extremely collaborative and a tremendous resource. So I began to engage her more and that happened more on New Moon and even more in Eclipse . . . She weighs in on every draft of the outline, every draft of the script. She’s on set. She’s very involved.

'The Summer House'

'He said, this guy is amazing, and he's really nice, and I think he'd be really up for working on a short film,' Gili told MTV News. 'I saw a picture of him and I thought, he's fantastic.'"

Anna Kendrick (Jessica Stanley) is featured in the editor’s special award for ‘Women of the Year’ in the July issue of Glamour (UK) magazine.
“And the first time I met Robert Pattinson, I kept thinking, ‘Cedric Diggory from Harry Potter!’ He never got his guitar out on set, but always carried a beaten-up book, like an English poet.”

Eclipse Closing In On A Half A BILLION Dollars At Box Office!
According to Gossip Cop and The Hollywood Reporter, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is still going strong at the box office domestically and overseas totalling $456 million to date.
Gossip Cop:
After two weekends in theaters, Eclipse continues to be strong.
The third installment in the Twilight Saga has earned $33.4 million this weekend at the box office in North America, bringing its total to $237 million domestically.
Internationally, the film took in another $81.1 million this weekend to bring its worldwide gross to $219 million.
That means, all across the globe, Eclipse has earned $456 million.
THR:
“Eclipse,” the third installment of Summit Entertainment’s “Twilight” franchise defied toasty summer weather in France and the U.K., opening No. 1 in these two key markets. Summit said the U.K. take was a jaw-dropping $21 million from 523 locations (including previews), the market’s biggest opening of 2010 and about $2 million more than “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” grossed in its market bow late last year.
The France gross opening tally was $12.4 million from an unspecified number of locales, also the highest opening market take of this year. By weekend’s end, “Eclipse” is expected to also be No. 1 in its opening round in South Korea and in its sophomore session in Australia — in addition to its first-place standing overall.
Peter Interview
The Mirror has an interview with Peter Facinelli.
Check it all out here.
Here is an excerpt:
Do people recognise you without the blond hair?
Well I think I’ve been around for a while so people generally know what I look like. But sometimes when I meet younger people who haven’t seen me before, and I don’t look like Carlisle, they get this disappointed look on their face. I don’t think I look anything like him.
Do fans ever ask you to bite them?
Oh yeah, all the time. They ask me to bite them for pictures, I used to do it, but then I thought, I don’t want these pictures of me biting people’s necks popping up everywhere – it’s kind of disrespectful to my wife. So now I’ll pretend to bite their wrist, kids love it and fans love it, it makes them happy. I’m pretty game.
Charlie Interview
Movies.ie has an interview with Charlie Bewley.
Check it all out here.
Here is an excerpt:
What is your favourite part of being involved with the Twilight Saga?
CB: The best part about Twilight is that it opens so many doors, career wise, it really does. Both in publicity and further support in new films and stuff. I have had so many great opportunities since coming on board with this film.
Had you read the books before you did the film?
CB: No I hadn’t, no. I had to get a network of females to whip together Demetri’s information and with that I went into the audition – with all the information that was out there. But obviously, having got the role, you need to educate yourself as to what’s going on.
Daily Mirror Interview With Taylor Lautner
He began his Twilight journey with a small role in the first film. But now for some, 18-year-old Taylor eclipses Rob Pattinson in the heart-throb stakes. While his two co-stars speak their mind, Lautner, with his big white-teethed smile, always says the ‘right thing’. Today, his bulky body is hidden by blue jeans and a black tee. He settles down for a catch-up, all embarrassed by his ‘hottie’ status…
It’s funny, but I hadn’t even heard of Twilight before I did it. And it is getting bigger and bigger. When I signed up for the role I found out the following behind us, it was so much bigger than I expected, and it is definitely different to anything I have and ever will experience in the future, I’m sure.
Have you got used to being so famous?
You actually never do because it’s just not normal to walk out on stage and have thousands of people screaming at you.
How do you avoid attention?
You have to be smart about where and when you decide to go places. Walking down Rodeo Drive in LA is probably not a good idea. I find certain hangouts where I know I can have fun, enjoy it and it’s also a safe place to be.
Do your mates take the p*ss?
Everybody teases me about the shirtless thing and my little jean shorts. It’s all good, though.
What have you been spending your money on?
It is tough to go shopping when you are busy. You don’t want to purchase something extravagant, because you are just going to leave it behind. One thing my parents taught me is to save my money because you never know what is going to happen. Tomorrow you may lose everything! My parents have been a big help. I make sure to have them on set to visit because it does get lonely, filming for three months, so I like bringing home to wherever I am. My friends visit quite often. I usually have someone there. I am never there by myself for too long.

It is tough to go shopping when you are busy. You don’t want to purchase something extravagant, because you are just going to leave it behind. One thing my parents taught me is to save my money because you never know what is going to happen. Tomorrow you may lose everything! My parents have been a big help. I make sure to have them on set to visit because it does get lonely, filming for three months, so I like bringing home to wherever I am. My friends visit quite often. I usually have someone there. I am never there by myself for too long.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' nears a half billion in sales, mentioned in early Oscar discussions
'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' - Summit Ent.
The latest box office figures for the film point to a worldwide total of $456 million so far, resulting from a $237 million domestic gross and a successful $81.1 million on the international front this weekend (adding up to $219 million so far, internationally).
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Eclipse was the number one film of the weekend internationally, leading titles like Predators and Despicable Me.
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse has also been a part of a recent Variety discussion on early Academy Awards predictions. The publication suggested that Eclipse's music was one of a few "strong contributions" in the category of music, opening up the possibility that The Twilight Saga: Eclipse could be in the Oscar pool (as was The Twilight Saga: New Moon with Lykke Li's "Possibility"). Though, Variety also suggests that "popular" songs are not the type of material considered by the Academy.
