• “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn” Times Two in 3D and Entertainment

  March 11th, 2010 by BabyCullen

   

   

  SANTA MARIA, CA, March 11, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ — According to an inside source, the fourth saga and the most highly anticipated film in the Twilight Series, will be split into two movies, and filmed in 3D. “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part I”, and “Part II” has not been confirmed “officially” by Summit Entertainment, however author Stephenie Meyer has stated, “it would have to be made into multiple movies because it is hard to imagine it fitting into ninety minutes.”

  In addition, a new production company, Sunswept Entertainment, has been brought on board for Breaking Dawn. Sunswept Entertainment was created by Karen Rosenfelt, who is the daughter of former MGM Chairman & CEO Frank Edward Rosenfelt. Karen Rosenfelt served as Producer on both “Twilight” and on “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse”. She did not work on “New Moon”, but is producing “Breaking Dawn” through her Sunswept Entertainment banner.

  Fans can expect a massive talent search for the role of Renesmee Cullen, the half-vampire, half-human daughter of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan, just as there was for the roles of Seth and Leah Clearwater in “Eclipse”. Due to the introduction of this character, Breaking Dawn is going to be the most CG-intense film of the Twilight series.

  The Breaking Dawn novel is much more adult in tone than its three predecessors. Therefore the screenplay adaptation will likely have quite a bit of tweaking due to the explicit sex and birth scenes to avoid an R rating.

  The recent success of films like Avatar has changed the perception of 3D film with the public and the major studios, and Summit Entertainment is on the cutting edge of film making technology. Avatar director James Cameron recently said, “Everything is going to change in the next couple of years, very, very rapidly. If you take the 3D away from the film and you take the spectacle away from the film, it is still a strong story. People do not cry in a movie because of the 3D. They cry in movie because something is touching them, and the 3D should only be part of enhancing the experience.”

  Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner have officially signed on to Breaking Dawn. The Breaking Dawn’s director has yet to be officially announced.

• Twilight at the Oscars!

  March 8th, 2010 by Fuchsia

  What’s an awards show these days without some teen vampires and werewolves? Nothing! So that’s why at this year’s Academy Awards, they snuck some in. The Twilight Saga: New Moon had, let’s see, zero Oscar nominations, but somehow here’s Anna Kendrick, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner attending the ritziest party of the year.

  So Kendrick didn’t technically sneak in. She totally earned it, being nominated for Best Supporting Actress for Up In The Air and also presenting an award (lucky!) with Zac Efron.

  But Taylor and Kristen dodged bodyguards and hid behind props to get into this thing. OK, not exactly—but did the Academy cook up a tribute to horror films just to have an excuse to put these two on stage together?

  Also, Robert Pattinson couldn’t make it, but still got mentioned in Neil Patrick Harris’ opening ballad.

  So now that the stars have gained access to the planet’s most exclusive party, all that’s left is to make a Twilight movie worthy of Oscar night…

• Taylor Lautner Causes Controversy Over Movie Roles

  March 2nd, 2010 by Rachel

  Twilight hottie Taylor Lautner has caused some controversy in Hollywood – after pulling out of a movie role.

  The hunky actor was to play the lead in Max Steel, based on the Mattel toy company’s character.

  But now he has dropped out of Max Steel and, instead, will concentrate on rival company Habro’s Stretch Armstrong instead.

  Lautner had been signed to do both projects but now, ‘in the weeks after signing on to play Steel, Lautner became increasingly convinced that Hasbro was playing its hand better than Mattel.

  ‘Thanks to WME Entertainment (Lautner’s agents), Hasbro was moving with far greater speed through Hollywood’s development maze than Mattel, not only setting up projects, but quickly moving them forward.’

  Universal began conversations earlier this month with Rob Letterman about directing Stretch Armstrong for a 2012 release.

  One insider familiar with Lautner’s decision said: ‘When you sign up to make a movie with Hasbro, you know it will be in theatres a year later.’

• Twilight Stars Pattinson, Lautner, Stewart Branch Out

  February 22nd, 2010 by Rachel

  They’ve monopolized magazine covers and encouraged moviegoers around the world to spend more than $1 billion at the box office. Surely, the three young stars of the Twilight franchise —Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart— have earned a break in between big-screen installments of their supernatural saga.

  Not if they desire careers that require more than just being a brooding vampire, a hard-bodied werewolf and the sulky girl who loves them. When it comes to life after multi-part blockbusters such as the Star Wars trilogies, opportunity often awaits. But so does type-casting, poor decision-making and outright rejection. Only a chosen few rise to Harrison Ford heights.

  That might explain why each of the Twilight trio has at least one film coming long before the third outing based on Stephenie Meyer’s literary phenom, Eclipse, arrives June 30.

  Stewart admits she’s very nervous.

  “I’ve been looking at shoes,” she said. “I’m trying to pick shoes that I know I won’t fall down in.”

• ‘Valentine’s Day’ Cast Challenges ‘Twilight’ Cast To A Dance-Off

  February 10th, 2010 by Rachel

  Movie Trailers – Movies Blog

  “I want a ‘Valentine’s Day’/ ‘Twilight’ dance-off,” Hathaway told MTV News. ” ‘Twilight,’ what’s up?” It seems that her idea even intrigued Topher Grace, who is also down with meeting up with the “Twilight” crew on the dance floor. “I challenge you to a dance-off — music of your choice,” Grace added.

  Taylor Lautner stars in both the “Twilight Saga” and “Valentine’s Day” — and the cast of the latter are not scared to challenge the cast of the former to a friendly dance-off. Anne Hathaway was very vocal about her desire to serve her co-star’s other cast on the dance floor.

  But there’s only one problem: What team does Taylor dance on? Does he go with the lovestruck “Valentine’s Day” crew or does he stick with the otherworldly members of Team “Twilight”? It’s like Team Jacob versus Team Edward all over again. Well, it seems that there is one easy fix in this new conundrum. “I was just gonna say, what is Taylor gonna do?” Hathaway asked. “Taylor’s gonna have to ref it.”

  While Hathaway would like for Lautner to referee the match, Grace would actually like to take him on move by move. “He’s, like, a nice werewolf. I’ll take him in a dance-off any day. He’s, like, a moral werewolf,” he joked about Lautner’s character in the “Twilight” flicks. “['Valentine's Day' star] Taylor Swift gets to make the music choice … Lautner refs. He’s doing backflips and stuff. You name the place and the time. We’ll be there.”

• Taylor Lautner Ready To Score At Super Bowl Celebrity Football Game

  January 27th, 2010 by Rachel

  What could be better than looking at “Twilight” star Taylor Lautner with his shirt off? How about watching him run around and get all sweaty? Oh yes, we’re totally serious.

  Taylor has signed on to play in the fourth annual DirecTV Celebrity Beach Bowl, a flag-football game that serves as part of the weekend festivities surrounding the Super Bowl. According to the Direct TV, the game will feature former NFL pros Troy Aikman and Warren Moon serving as quarterbacks of the two teams.

  Last year’s event was a huge success, as tens of thousands of fans gathered to watch Blake Lively, Penn Badgley and Maria Menounos take part in the game. So, who else is joining Taylor on the field this year? Chace Crawford, Jessica Szohr, Victoria’s Secret model Marisa Miller, Christian Slater, celebrity foodie Guy Fieri and “Entourage” star Kevin Dillon will all team up for the event. The All American Rejects will perform live right after the game, and quarterback Eli Manning will oversee the festivities.

  Taylor is no stranger to football. The 17-year-old was spotted this past weekend at the Colts game in Indianapolis alongside actor Rob Lowe. Ladies take note: there’s a good chance he’ll be sticking around town for the Superbowl, which will take place the day after his flag football debut on February 6.
