Michael Sheen appears on the Bonnie Hunt Show: kicks off Hunt’s Twilight Celebration series
Michael Sheen appeared on the Bonnie Hunt Show earlier today to kick off Bonnie Hunt’s week-long Twilight Celebration.
According to MTV.com, Sheen humorously recalls his 10-year-old daughter’s reaction to the news that he would be playing Aro in The Twilight Saga’s film adaption of New Moon.
When I first told her, we were eating some food and I said, ‘Look, I’m going to be in the next film. I’m going to play Aro.’ And she was lifting the food to her mouth and she froze, and I thought, ‘What is she doing?’ and a tear started rolling down her cheek. And I thought, ‘That’s nice. That’s exactly the reaction I want.’ And then she punched me.
The Bonnie Hunt Show’s Twilight Celebration continues all week long with the following scheduled appearances from the New Moon cast and soundtrack artists:
Tuesday: performance by Sea Wolf
Wednesday: Kellan Lutz, performance by Anya Marina
Thursday: Nikki Reed
Friday: Ashley Greene

New Moon crosses $200 Million point at the US box office
Pulling in $17.9 million just yesterday, Variety is reporting that New Moon has now passed the $200 million mark at the US box office:
The domestic B.O. for “New Moon” easily eclipsed that of the first “Twilight” which amassed $192.8 million in 20 weeks.
In the first three days of the holiday frame beginning Wednesday, “New Moon” has grossed $41.4 million.
The record holder for the best Thanksgiving frame haul still belongs to the first “Harry Potter” which made $82.4 million from Wednesday through Sunday.

New Moon surpasses Twilight's box office record
HitFix has recently released an article regarding New Moon’s box office sales versus last year’s Twilight sales:
“After making another $14.3 million on Wednesday for a new U.S. total of $179 million, the question isn’t whether it will hit the $250 million mark it’s whether it can hit $300 million. Considering the first “Twilight” made only $192 million a year ago that would be a stunning achievement. The Chris Weitz blockbuster hardly skipped a beat leaving the frame’s three new wide releases far behind.”
As of today, New Moon has accumulated up to $188.4 million in the U.S. alone. Meaning New Moon will surpass Twilight’s full theatrical release of $192 million within a little over a week.

FX wins cable rights to Twilight Saga
______________________________________________________________________________________
November 24, 2009 Posted by Jeanne M.
Variety is reporting that the FX channel has struck a deal with Summit, which says the channel will have the cable rights to New Moon, Eclipse, and likely Breaking Dawn. Showtime already has the cable rights to Twilight (until 2011). From the article:
Deal between FX and Summit is standard in that pricetag will be 10%-12% of the domestic box office take, but with a cap.
Summit’s deal with FX also includes rights to well-reviewed Iraq war pic “The Hurt Locker,” as well as “Knowing” and “Push.”
“Twilight,” the first book of the series from Stephenie Meyer that was adapted into a film, earned $191 million when it was released a year ago. FX can begin airing the pic in late 2011.
The window for “New Moon” starts in late 2012, and “Eclipse,” which is scheduled for a June 30, 2010, theatrical release, will have its basic cable debut in 2013.

Harry Potter plays Edward Cullen on the Simpsons
...well sort of. Next season on the Simpsons, Actor Daniel Radcliffe, know for his portrayal of Harry Potter, will lend his voice to a Twilight spoof episode. The Harry Potter star plays Edmund, a kid vampire whom Lisa falls for. Alas, Edmund’s father, a.k.a. Dracula, and Homer try to squash the budding romance.
Thanks to MTV’s Movie Blog and EW’s Hollywood Insider for this LOL funny information.

Stephanie Meyer Answers Fans Questions
Twilight saga author Stephenie Meyer has posted answers to a variety of questions submitted on TheTwilightSaga.com:
Hi Stephenie – What is your favourite scene in New Moon the movie? – Laure
I can’t really choose just one. I love so many things. Bella’s and Edward’s first conversation in the parking lot…the painting…Jessica’s monologue…the scenes in Jacob’s garage…the first time you see the werewolves!!…Jacob in Bella’s room (thanks, Chris!)…the underwater moment…what you see while Thom Yorke’s amazing song is playing…everything in Italy…and I could go on. It’s all so good.
Hi Stephenie! Texas LOVES you!!! In staying true to the novel, I'd like to know if there were any scenes missing from the original screenplay that you insisted be in the movie?? Thank you SOOO much!!!! -Trinity in Fort Worth
Sort of. In the original screenplay, Jacob's visit to Bella's room that one night didn't exist. The necessary information was still there, it was just scattered through a few other scenes. I really missed that scene, but change (and cutting!) is a part of the adaptation process—especially when you write really long books—so I was prepared to suck it up. And then Chris Weitz felt like we needed that scene, too, and he wrote up a beautiful version I love. And we all lived happily ever after.
She answered a lot of great questions from the fans. You can read more Q/A here.

Q: Can you talk about the break-up scene with Edward and just how emotional it was to do that? I know a lot of young girls in the audience last night were crying.
Kristen: Oh, that’s good. That was the scariest thing I’ve ever… I was almost as worried about messing it up than I was about what I actually should have been thinking about which was the issues that Bella’s dealing with. Because reading it, it’s such an iconic, I mean that moment is, There’s nothing like it in reality even. Like, its not even like a normal break-up scene because I don’t, I know what it’s like to get broken up with but I don’t know what it’s like to get broken up with by a vampire who I’ve now been physically and chemically altered by… That was the most intimidating scene in the entire movie.
