Summit looks at possible directors for “Breaking Dawn”
In a small article posted earlier today, Entertainment Weekly reported that Summit is rumored to be looking at a select few Academy Award directors to take on the final installment of The Twilight Saga.
“The studio has reached out to at least three top-notch directors, including Sofia Coppola (Lost in Translation), Gus Van Sant (Milk), and Bill Condon (Dreamgirls) to gauge their interest in what is likely to be two movies.”
Though Summit declined to comment and representatives for Coppola and Condon have yet to respond, EW was able to confirm that director Gus Van Sant has been approached.

Chris Weitz's thoughts on directing Breaking Dawn
We still are not sure if or when Breaking Dawn will be filmed, or if it will be made into two films, but we do know New Moon director Chris Weitz may not be involved, according to an interview with MTV News.
“But I think I’m on record saying I have a 2-and-a-half-year-old son, and each one of these movies — especially because it’d be such a long shoot as ‘Breaking Dawn’ — it kind of brings me to the edge of my physical and mental endurance,” he said. “And I just don’t believe I have it in me, and I think that it’s appropriate that someone else go ahead and do it.”
He also spoke about the possible two-part 3-D movie, agreeing that Breaking Dawn should be two films and that 3-D could work.
“I think that 3-D is great so long as it’s not used in a gimmicky fashion and it can supply extraordinary depth to the visual experience,” Weitz told MTV News. “And it’s great because it brings people to the theater, and filmmakers always want people to see things in the largest format possible.”

Chris Weitz's biggest regret with New Moon
HitFix had the opportunity to preview the New Moon DVD Commentary and they revealed this tidbit:
Speaking to Weitz earlier this week, the director laughed about the moment and admitted that he discovered the mistake a bit too late.
“I think it could have been less than an Arcadian fairy tale running through the foresty movement and more of an abstract at Kristen flash on her face,” Weitz says of what he would have changed. “That would have avoided laughter, which wasn’t only heard at the premiere where there are cynics and jaded Hollywood types, but the most packed fan screenings.”

Oscar producers asked Stephenie Meyer and JK Rowling to present this year.
A report from The Los Angeles Times reveals that this year’s Oscar producers wanted Stephenie and JK Rowling to present an award together. However both ladies declined the offer.
The pair even wanted “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling and “Twilight” scribe Stephenie Meyer to present the adapted screenplay category, but Rowling was unavailable because of scheduling conflicts and Meyer, who is a Mormon, does not work on Sundays.
“The younger side of the audience has been drifting for years, so we’re more conscious of trying to build a youth element into the show,” Mechanic said.

MTV posts photos of a sensual Rob Pattinson in Remember Me
MTV.com has put two new photos online from the upcoming Summit film “Remember Me” starring Rob Pattinson:
Looking at these two pics, we can safely say that Emilie de Ravin wasn’t lying when she told MTV News last month that she and Rob hit it off right away. “I flew to New York to test with Rob and we immediately got along and had instant great chemistry, which is not an easy thing to come by,” she said. “Obviously you’re acting, but you want to have that connection with somebody. We had it.”
The film will hit theaters March 12th!

Stephenie Meyer updates site
Stephenie Meyer updated her website last night with a message about Haiti and a book recommendation.
- I’ve been very impressed with the world in general and the Twilight fansites in specific in the support and love everyone is giving Haiti. It’s amazing to see how Twilight fans have come together to help. You are wonderful people. At this point, I think it’s important for all of us to remember that the situation in Haiti is not going to be cured overnight, so… keep up the good work, and let’s all keep the Haitians in our thoughts and prayers.
- A new book recommendation: I recently read and adored The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. It was one of those books that feel absolutely perfect and satisfying, and when you finish it you sit around wishing that you could find another book just like it.

Live Chat with Peter Facinelli
Last night TV.com hosted a live chat with Twilight Saga star Peter Facinelli. In it he talked about his roles on both Nurse Jackie and Twilight along with his inspirations as an actor.
Peter Facinelli: My inspriations were Paul Newman and Robert Redford - Saw a movie "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" and those guys looked like they were having a lot of fun and I decided that's what I wanted to do
Now I like Sean Penn and what he's doing. Gary Oldman. I like to be surprised by an actor - you never know what you're going to get and they don't play the same role.

“Vampires brought in 17% of all book sales tracked in 2009.” claims USA Today.
USA Today posted a new article online focusing on popular books in 2009. It reveals some interesting statistics related to the Twilight saga:
We have Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight vampires to thank, in part, for the fact that at least 17% of all book sales tracked in 2009 were related to vampires (and assorted other undead creatures, including zombies) or the paranormal (including paranormal romances). That was up from 14% in 2008, which in turn was way up from 2% in 2007.
Charlaine Harris, author of the Sookie Stackhouse novels, which are the inspiration for HBO’s True Blood, had nine titles in the top 100 sellers of the year, and P.C. and Kristin Cast, the mother/daughter team who write the House of Night series, had six. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith is No. 48 on the list. Expect that trend to continue in 2010, again thanks in part to Meyer. She may not have a new book coming out (that we know of so far), but Eclipse, the movie based on the third book in the Twilight series, swoops into theaters in June, and the paperback reissue of her 2008 adult hardcover The Host is out April 13.

Stephenie Meyer talks about the Breaking Dawn “drama”
There have been reports that Stephenie and Summit are feuding over decisions related to the production of Breaking Dawn.
To address these rumors, Stephenie has updated her site today:
Just a quick note on the subject of the Breaking Dawn film: there is no drama over whether the book should be one movie or two. My personal feeling is that it would be very difficult to cram the whole story into one movie (as I’ve said in many interviews previous to this), but if a great way of doing that surfaces, I’m all for it. Two or one, whichever way fits the story best is fine by me, and everyone I’ve spoken with at Summit seems to feel the same way. We’re all excited to move forward on this, and we are slowly and surely getting there. I know people are anxious for news, and so sometimes gossip get fabricated to stir things up, but there’s no basis to this particular story.

Will Breaking Dawn begin shooting in the fall?
According to a article from LA Times, the Producer Wyck Godfrey plans for Breaking Dawn to begin filming in the fall,
Wyck Godfrey, the producer of all the films in the “Twilight” saga, admits that the creative team still doesn’t know how they’ll handle the character in the “Breaking Dawn” movie, but said that the plan is absolutely for the production to go forward — as either one or two installments — with an eye toward beginning to shoot in Vancouver this fall. All three stars are signed for “Breaking Dawn,” he said, meaning that Stewart and Pattinson will be dealing with the joys and woes of interspecies parenting and newly minted heartthrob Taylor Lautner will return as often-shirtless shape-shifter Jacob Black.

Pretty much everyone is following actor Peter Facinelli on Twitter these days. He recently told Access Hollywood that he has no plans to make his Twitter account commercial.
“It’s a great way to share information with them and it’s also a great way to entertain,” he said. “I like being able to put a smile on people’s faces and I like being able to also mix that up with sharing information with them that’s important and also letting them know what I’m doing. I mean I’ve had people come to me and say, ‘Hey, will you Tweet this out?’ There’s like paid advertisement stuff. I’m not into that. I like to keep my Twitter pure. I don’t want to sell my followers anything.”

Paramore’s “Decode” was a huge part of the Twilight soundtrack, but the band turned down an offer to be part of the New Moon soundtrack last year. In a recent interview with MTV, Hayley Williams, the band’s lead singer, explained why Paramore passed on New Moon and said contributing to the Eclipse soundtrack isn’t out of the question.
“We’ll see what happens in the future,” Williams said. “I don’t know — if it feels genuine. If we write a song, and I feel like it goes with it, I wouldn’t turn it down, but I wouldn’t force it.”

According to an article at Coventry Telegraph Bluewater Productions is planning a new comic book series called Fame. It is based on the lives of famous pop culture icons.

Bluewater Productions is responsible for the Female Force Comics where Stephenie Meyer and J.K. Rowling were featured.
Bluewater president Darren G. Davis said "Fame gives us the ability to tell more interesting stories about a wider variety of notable personalities. Conversely, it allows us to focus the scope of our other biography titles to more socially and political important figures."

Kirsten Prout Interview : Enjoyed playing a "Villian"
IESB has an interview with Kirsten Prout. She is playing Lucy in Eclipse. You may remember Kirsten from Kyle XY.
Below is an excerpt from the interview:
IESB: What can you say about your character in Eclipse? How does she fit into the story?
Kirsten: Without revealing too much, Lucy is one of the vampires that turns Jasper, played by Jackson Rathbone. Jasper gets turned while he is an officer, and I’m one of the vampires that causes Jasper to be turned during his military career. Lucy appears to be an innocent little victim, and then she turns into something a lot more sinister.
IESB: Is Lucy the darkest character you’ve ever played?
Kirsten: I’ve always been on the good side. I’ve never played a villain, in my entire career. I’m the girl next door, or the girl who helps out, or the girl that makes an innocent escape. For once, I got to look all innocent and have that angelic quality, and then, all of a sudden, turn into something really dark. That was fun for me. That was the first villain that I’ve ever played.
IESB: How was David Slade, as a director? Had you been familiar with any of his previous work?
Kirsten: Yeah, I had. He’s a great guy because his way of working is so open. He just says, “Do what you do,” and lets you play with it. If he has notes, he gives them to you, but he’s a very open director. He keeps it light. He loves his job and he’s very serious about it. He’s a great director.

MovieMistakes.com lists several mistakes found in New Moon
For all those movie goers who like the catch mistakes in a movie, MovieMistakes.com has set up a page for New Moon. So far they have come up with close to 40 mistakes. Here are a couple examples:
- Visible crew/equipment: During the breakup scene, you see a blue marker between Edwards feet in his wideshots.
- Continuity: 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. 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.
- Continuity: 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.
- Continuity: During the meadow scene flashback with Edward and Bella, Bella's foot is missing. She's lying next to Edward and the camera is circling above them. Her legs are slightly crossed and one of her feet is missing (and covered by the meadow backdrop).

We look forward to seeing all the deleted scenes with the DVD release:
The two scenes released are pictured below:

- Edward and Alice outside Bella’s house as Charlie looks on
FAN ART CONTEST RESULTS! Congratulations to the Top Three winners of the Fan Art Contest of Edward Cullen's Journal!
First Place Jaymie Johnson Jaymie gets a character named after her in an upcoming Edward's Journal entry! Jaymie is 13 and this picture took nearly 6 days to complete. Good job Jaymie!
Second Place Cathy Edwards Cathy's "Hands" entry won second place in this contest but she submitted three pieces altogether. She is 27 and a stay at home mom of two. Despite her epilepsy, she sure is a fantastic artist! Great job!
Third Place
Alice Laffar
Alice Laffar came in third place with this fantastic sketch from the Twilight Poster. Great job Alice!
All of the artists did a fantastic job and I hope to see an even bigger turnout next time! Thank you everyone for your submissions and great job everybody!
A Twitter user/Twilight fan found a New Moon promotional card in her copy of Bandslam, which lists a March 22nd release date for the release of the DVD. Please note this was found in the United Kingdom.
If you remember, the Twilight DVD was released in the US and UK on March 21st, 2009. Since Twilight and New Moon were released near the same timeframe in the theaters, it would not surprise us that the DVD release would be scheduled the same way.

Stephenie urges, buy this book!
Author of the Twilight Saga, Stephenie Meyer, updated her website today. In the past she has suggested authors and books alike to us readers to help broaden our horizons. Today is no exception.
I hope you all are enjoying your holidays! Just a quick update about a book—arriving in bookstores tomorrow!—that I'm very excited about: The Lonely Hearts Club by Elizabeth Eulberg. If you've ever been out to one of my signings, chances are you've already met this debut author. If you haven't, but you've read the acknowledgements in any of my books, you've been introduced to her there. Elizabeth has been the publicist for my books from the very beginning, and has (clearly) done an amazing job. She's also worked with scads of other YA authors. Now her own YA novel is coming out and I'm so proud of her. Well done, Lizzy! I look forward to reading more from you soon!

“Eclipse is going to be more real” according to Charlie Bewley
OK! Magazine UK has a new interview with the actor Charlie Bewley who plays Demetri in New Moon and Eclipse, and he speaks about the differences between the two films:
“David is a master of mood. Eclipse has this different mood about it, it’s dark and vicious. You get to see the brutal nature of vampires and what they are really capable of, which is something we haven’t really seen in the first two movies.”
And the star told us David works very differently to New Moon director Chris Weitz.
He said: “They are very different directors. David understands what each scene needs [to create the dark mood] – absolute fine tuning. He might stop the scene halfway through and just tweak something before saying: ‘Go back, say that word again and I want you to put the emphasis on that’.
“It’s very controlled and when I was on set I found myself not being able to be as theatrically elaborate as I was with Chris’ film. But that’s exactly why David has been brought on board – to make this a more real film. Eclipse is going to be more real.”

When will the first Eclipse trailer be released?
The director of Eclipse updated his Twitter earlier today with word that he does not know when the first trailer will be released.
Overwhelming question I see again and again – When is the first trailer for Eclipse? I really don’t know I am afraid. I know they are working very hard on it. But I don’t have any idea when it will be out.
We look forward to seeing it when they do complete it!

Earlier this year, there had been rumor that Kelly Clarkson (an admitted huge fan of the Twilight Saga) had submitted a song for the New Moon Soundtrack. The songs title is "Empty As I Am".
Here is the song she wrote.

Bryce Dallas Howard ready to ‘unveil her take’ on Victoria
In a recent interview with MTV, Bryce Dallas Howard discussed her experience shooting Eclipse and her portrayal of Victoria.
MTV: Would you say you studied Rachelle’s performance, to factor it into your own?
Howard: Well, I have seen “Twilight” innumerable times, innumerable. And yes, of course, I saw “New Moon” before doing “Eclipse,” because the continuity of the character is critical, and Rachelle had done a really exquisite job creating Victoria. It was really important to base all of my work on that. She set a very high bar, and I wanted to reach for that.

Godfrey confirms two-part Breaking Dawn production in late 2010
Variety has published a new article revealing two interesting pieces of information concerning Taylor Lautner, Breaking Dawn, and Summit.
Summit has acquired an untitled script by Eric Champnella and Grant Thompson that is best described as a teenaged “Taken” meets “Die Hard.”
Dan Lautner will produce with Temple Hill partners Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen.
Dan Lautner is the actor’s father, and the action project becomes the first project in Tailor Made Entertainment, a company they’ve formed to develop film and TV vehicles.
After an injury sidelines a teen’s plans to be an elite soldier, he tries to get on with his life by heading to college. There he meets a girl who convinces him to join her friends on a spring-break trip to Cancun. When his traveling partners are kidnapped and ransomed for the freedom of a drug-cartel leader about to be extradited, the college student uses his warrior skills to rescue them.
At the end of the article, Twilight saga producer Wyck Godfrey confirms that Breaking Dawn will begin shooting in late 2010:
Godfrey said the hope is to get the Cancun-set project into production by June. Lautner will reprise his role of Jacob in “Breaking Dawn” beginning in late 2010, and it is likely that the final book will be divided into two films that will shoot back-to-back.
Finally we’ve got a solid confirmation!

USA Today profiles Ashley Greene
USA Today has a new interview online tonight with Ashley Greene, the actress who plays Alice Cullen in the Twilight films. She discusses her newfound fame thanks to the Twilight series and what is next:
Indies aside, she just landed the lead in The Apparition, a big-budget Warner Bros. thriller being produced by The Matrix’s Joel Silver.
“To be the lead in my own box-office film is just another step,” Greene says. “A couple of days before, I probably won’t be able to sleep, but I’m not even nervous about it now. … I’m just like one of those giddy girls who wants to make sure everything is perfect for the first day of school. I’ve already planned a week (before filming begins in Berlin) to turn off my cellphone and just focus.” And with even more screen time in New Moon, which has grossed more than $267.4 million to date, she’s familiar with the craze that comes with being in a box-office sensation.
“It’s so strange, because we spend months on set, and then it’s like, by the way, this is what’s been brewing while we’ve been working,” she says, referring to Twilight’s fearlessly devoted fan base.

Summit releases statement concerning the charges being dropped against woman who filmed New Moon in theater
The woman who was charged with attempting to pirate New Moon in theaters several weeks ago has had all the charges dropped against her.
Cook County prosecutors on Friday announced in court that they won’t pursue charges against Samantha Tumpach.
Tumpach was arrested Nov. 28 in the Chicago suburb of Rosemont and faced a felony charge of illegally copying the film.
She had about three minutes of “New Moon” on her digital camera. Tumpach has said she was taping her sister’s birthday party and wasn’t trying to record the movie.
Additionally, Summit has released a statement about the outcome of this case:
In regards to the situation with Samantha Tumpach, we applaud Muvico for upholding the zero tolerance policy on piracy when the incident occurred at their theater in Rosemont, IL. The pirating of films is a very serious issue and we all need to remain vigilant to protect the art of film and the myriad of businesses that the film industry supports. We believe that the attention that this incident has drawn, has served as a reminder to us all that any form of film piracy, or perceived piracy, will be treated with the utmost seriousness. Summit is pleased that all charges against Ms. Tumpach have been dropped and appreciate the efforts of the police and the prosecutors in this outcome.

Bryce Dallas Howard talks about working on Eclipse
MTV posted an interview with Bryce Dallas Howard on her role as Victoria in Eclipse. In the interview Howard provides details concerning the situation she was in when she took on the role and replacing Rachelle Lefevre as Victoria.
“They were looking for someone to fill that slot. It was right before production actually happened, so of course there was intimidation there and feeling a huge responsibility to do my best.”
She also talks a bit about the cast and what it was like working with them:
“They were really lovely and yes, it’s an incredible group of people. I have so much respect for them. There’s so much frenzy surrounding them, and they’ve remained grounded, and their friendships are so genuine. I felt very lucky to work with such a good group of people.

Woman charged with pirating New Moon, Chris Weitz comes to the defense
News recently broke that a young woman was arrested on a felony charge of illegally filming parts of New Moon as it played in a movie theater.
Today, the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting that New Moon director Chris Weitz is now sticking up for the woman. He argues that the woman should not be charged.
Weitz questioned whether her arrest was justified.
“There is, needless to say, a difference between trying to protect the copyright of a film and making an unfair example of someone who clearly seems not to have any intentions towards video piracy,” Weitz wrote.
He said he had contacted the studio that released the film, Summit Entertainment, to express his concern about her arrest, but he acknowledged there’s probably little he can do to influence the outcome of her case.
“I am not sure what effect I would have on the case,” he wrote, noting “the film is, after all, not my property.”

While Robert could have walked the red carpet he stayed true to his nature and opted for a low-key entry as he sneaked into the Los Angeles premiere of The Lovely Bones.
The Twilight actor almost went unnoticed as he went into the premiere via the back entrance but his presence was announced to the world by actress Katerina Graham, who tweeted,
“At the premiere of lovely bones and robert pattinson is here girls! Should I kidnap him for the fans? He’s sitting a few rows from me.”
Katerina shares one common thing with Robert, she too stars in a hit vampire saga with the TV series, The Vampire Diaries. You can catch The Vampire Diaries Thursday nights on the CW.

Possible New Moon DVD release in February?!?!?!
According to an article on Yahoo!, the New Moon DVD will be released in February 2010.
The quote came from an article commenting on Taylor’s new role in Max Steel (for information on Max Steel see last weeks post made by Jessica L.):
Mattel also recently announced that they would be releasing a Taylor-inspired Jacob Black Barbie doll (with major plastic abs) when the “New Moon” DVD is released in February 2010.
You may remember that the Twilight DVD hit the stores in March of this year, just four months after the film was released. It looks like we may only have to wait three months for New Moon!

With “New Moon” already a box office smash in its first few weeks, Kristen also turned her gaze towards next year’s “Eclipse,” dishing about working with Bryce Dallas Howard, who took over the role of Victoria from Rachelle Lefevre. “It was really good [working with her],” Kristen said. “Bryce is scary. She is really oddly sweet as well, so it’s weird to see her switch back and forth. Victoria, for Bella, is an ever-present fear — even when Victoria isn’t around, she is scared that she is coming back. Bryce is such a good actress, and it was easy to be scared of her.”
