• No Razzies for ‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon,’ Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner

  March 8th, 2010 by Amy

  A couple of weeks ago, the nominees for this year’s satirical Razzie Awards came down and showed The Twilight Saga: New Moon and its cast to be nominated in several categories.

  The Razzies – of the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation – are purposed at “saluting the worst that Hollywood has to offer each year.”

  The Twilight Saga: New Moon was nominated for several Razzies, including “WORST REMAKE, RIP-OFF or SEQUEL,” “WORST SCREEN COUPLE of 2009″ for “Kristen Stewart & Either Robert Pattinson or Taylor Lautner, Twilight Saga: New Moon,” “WORST SUPPORTING ACTOR OF 2009″ for Robert Pattinson, and “WORST SCREENPLAY OF 2009.”

  New Moon, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner all escaped winning in these categories (one award series that Twilight fans might not be sad to see the franchise lose at), but one person who did win a Razzie was Sandra Bullock (for The Blind Side), and, classy lady that she happens to be, she showed up to accept it herself.

• Buy Edward Cullen’s Twilight House

  February 24th, 2010 by Rachel

  

  Even fictional vampires are getting hit by the housing market. The Vancouver house that was the home of the Cullen clan in Twilight: New Moon had its sale price cut to $2,998,000.

  The Twilight vampires don’t accept dusty coffins as home. In fact, they don’t even take any old house. In Stephenie Meyer’s trilogy, the Cullen coven lives in the most coveted house in town.

  What filled in when it came time to film New Moon? This West Vancouver estate. Real estate agent Jason Soprovich is listing the five-bedroom, four-bath home for the current owner, a local who, he says, is looking for a change of pace.

• “Twilight” Vampires Suck Life Out of 2010 People’s Choice Awards

  January 7th, 2010 by Rachel

  The 36th annual People’s Choice Awards (2010) were presented live (most of them) Wednesday night in Hollywood. Hosted by the ever beautiful and inestimable Queen Latifah, the People’s Choice Awards for 2010 proved that vampires are what’s in, especially among the younger crowd. How so? “The Twilight Saga” and those associated with the mega-blockbuster franchise took home five awards (most people will tell you it was four, but they would be wrong). And television not only served up quite a few nominations in the vampire/horror/fantasy genre, but took home a couple of the new dangerous-looking Waterford Crystal People’s Choice Awards trophies as well.

  To prove that vampires took a considerable bite out of the number of awards this year, consider that Taylor Lautner, who played Jacob Black in “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” (and who is technically a werewolf in the film) won the People’s Choice Award for Breakout Actor. Robert Pattinson, Kirsten Stewart, and Taylor Lautner won for Best On-Screen Team for their performances as the love triangle Edward Cullen, Bella Swan, and Jacob Black from the “Twilight” series. “The Twilight Saga” itself won for Best Franchise. And Favorite Movie went to “Twilight.”

  And that fifth award? The 2010 People’s Choice Awards Rock Band winner was Paramore. Although a few people had heard of Paramore prior to 2009 (and the operative term in the sentence is “few”), and most likely from YouTube, Paramore’s inclusion in the soundtrack of “Twilight” made them a household name. Paramore, which is also one of Stephanie Meyers’ favorite bands, contributed two songs to the “Twilight” movie soundtrack, helping launch the album into the #1 position on the Billboard 200 albums chart. The song “Decode” became synonymous with Edward and Kirsten’s relationship, peaking at #30 on Billboard’s Pop 100 chart and #33 on the Hot 100. The exposure set the stage for Paramore’s next studio album, “Brand New Eyes,” to peak at #2 on the Billboard 200. There is definitely something to be said about Paramore’s association with “Twilight” and all those vampires.

• Oopsie! New Moon Scores Top 10 Spot for Most Mistakes

  December 29th, 2009 by Rachel

  

  To err is human, but to make 29 errors is a blockbuster.

  Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and the rest of the New Moon clan may not be raking in the big awards or spots on critics’ best of 2009 lists, but they have earned a spot on at least one top 10 list.

  MovieMistakes.com has listed its favorite flicks based on the number of, well, mistakes, and the Twilight sequel has landed in fifth place!

  “After Bella awakes from the first nightmare, we see her Romeo and Juliet book on the pillow beside her. When Charlie brings in her presents the book is gone, but then reappears on the pillow between shots,” reads one of the film’s 29 listed gaffes.

  Stunt prop sightings, tattoo traumas and K.Stew’s hair lead the charge for a majority of the problems.

  “When Bella is in the parking lot at school in the beginning, Edward walks toward her. Bella’s hair is neatly pulled off to the side,” the site claims. “When he leans in for the kiss it is suddenly stuck to her forehead, and when Edward tells her Jacob wants her, it’s suddenly back to normal.”

  Of course, New Moon only had one-third the number of frightful flaws as the big winner…

• ‘New Moon’ Exclusive: Chris Weitz Reveals 5 Secrets in the Film!

  December 19th, 2009 by Amy

  1. Hidden wolves
  ”Look for an upside-down engraving of a wolf in the shot of the bowl in which Carlisle burns his first-aid equipment; on Jacob’s T-shirt when he meets Bella in the school parking lot for the first time; and a wolf trinket on the dream-catcher that he gives her.”

  2. Vampire elevator music
  ”When Edward, Bella, and Alice get into the elevator on their way to see the Volturi, the music playing in the elevator is from Strauss’ Die Fledermaus (a.k.a. The Bat).”

  3. Emotional baggage?
  ”When Bella is looking for the meadow where she and Edward are seen lying down together, she carries a golden compass clipped to her backpack — part of my baggage!”

  4. Speedy suitor
  ”We did a little trick when Edward gets out of Bella’s truck and they’re arguing. We wanted to show Edward moving impossibly quickly, so we put Rob right next to the camera but out of sight, and used a double dressed like Rob in the driver’s seat. When Edward gets out, it’s the double, and then Rob steps in front of the camera, and it looks as if he got there faster than humanly possible.”

  5. Look it up
  ”And last but not least: If you want to know what Jacob says before he almost kisses Bella, ask a Quileute! The address of the Quileute tribal council is quileutenation.org. I can tell you this much: He says, Kwop kilawtley.”

• New Moon Could Still Win That Oscar

  December 17th, 2009 by Rachel

  The Academy may not have thought much of New Moon’s Jacob-to-wolf transformation, but apparently the moody music did it for ‘em.

  Lykke Li’s “Possibility,” off the Twilight sequel’s soundtrack, is one of 63 tunes in the running for a nomination for Best Original Song at the 82nd Annual Academy Awards in March.

  The up-and-coming Li could be sharing the stage with anyone from Bono to Miley Cyrus to Ne-Yo—or, perhaps, Paul McCartney—depending on how it all plays out.

  The U2-penned-and-performed “Winter” from the Iraq-war-hits-home thriller Brothers made the initial cut, while Hannah Montana: The Movie and The Princess and the Frog each have four songs in the running.

  Ne-Yo’s romantic “Never Knew I Needed” from Princess could win him his first little gold man, while Miley has three shots at taking the Oscar stage as a performer for the first time (and dad Billy Ray Cyrus has one if the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences digs “Back to Tennessee” the best).

  McCartney, an Oscar winner for the title track to Live and Let Die in 1973, could win a return trip to the podium for “(I Want to) Come Home,” one of the songs he penned for the Robert De Niro-starring family dramedy Everybody’s Fine.
