Breaking Dawn Part 2

The official release date for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 has been set for November 16th, 2012!

Release plans for Breaking Dawn part one and two have been slowly revealed over the course of the last few weeks, but one thing a lot of fans expected from Part 2 was a summer 2012 release (to mirror the schedule that The Twilight Saga: New Moon and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse had). However, that sort of speculation was quickly dismissed as premature, and until now the only official release date available was for Part 1 (November 18, 2011).

With a November, 2012 release date for Breaking Dawn - Part 2, fans will have the time to rest in between each film's release. For some, who experienced a bit of Twilight onslaught over the past year with the close releases for New Moon and Eclipse, this will be a relief.

At any rate, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 will be released on November 18, 2011, and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 will hit theaters on November 16, 2012.

Jacob, to Bella: How can you love an evil vampire? And not me? Look how shirtless I am!

Bella: You're a werewolf. But I love you, too. It's confusing.Both sit and look confused.

Cut to: Bella's bedroom, decorated with "I [Heart] Vampires" bumper stickers and pictures of rain.

 

Edward: How can you talk to him? He's dangerous! He has an abnormally high body temperature! My people have long despised his people! Except that none of us are really people!

 

Bella: I'm Switzerland. I refuse to be affected by territorial disputes between mythical creatures.

My Thoughts on Eclipse

After work yesterday and feeling a bit woozy I still went to watch the UK premiere of Eclipse. Thank goodness I did oh well I couldn't really wait for Saturday. I was quite worried when we arrived at the cinema as the car park was nearly full.There were three screens opened for the film alone and loads of viewers have actually got in and grabbed the best seat in the room. However we were just in time and found a good view.

So what do I think of the film despite the number of spoilers I saw? I must say the feeling this time was so different from watching the first two films. David Slade did justice to a very good script and the pace of the film was just right as the plot unfolds. My concern in the past was having a little time given for  the finishing touches to finalise with the impending premiere on the horizon. I wasn't very sure about the fight scenes either as the theatrical trailer didn't impress me so much but they were actually impressive. The swap of scenes from the fight to Edward and Bella's was smoothly done without spoiling the suspense. The film certainly possessed all the components that I as a fan was looking for. The growing rivalry of Jacob and Edward was so intense but well executed.

Eclipse is action packed without losing the essence of pure and selfless love felt by the main characters. There's drama, humor, and thrill but above all , Edward and Bella's love story. sigh...I want to watch it again now :-)

Some of my fave shots from the film.

The meadow scene was just tranquil and very romantic I mean sweet :-).

Definitely my fave couple on screen and not... love them both.. their chemistry is unmistakable. Just amazing!

Team Edward!!!! I cringed when some of the girls giggled after seeing Jacob.. topless.Will u?? nahhh!! Go Edward!!!

I was expecting the crowd to cheer on their first kiss but it was so quiet.. could hear a pin drop ..ha!! didn't win the Best Kiss though.. tsk..

Why I like Breaking Dawn of all to begin with?? Finally it's Bella & Edward t o g e t h e r & f o r e ve r  and this scene just sealed it.

Eclipse Reviews

It seems that the film Eclipse have received good reviews which is really good. Can't wait for July 9th now but got to..

Here's one written by a Hollywood reporter.

' Bottom Line: The teen vampire series finally hits its stride with an entertaining mix of romance and action fantasy.

It took three films, but “The Twilight Saga” finally nails just the right tone in “Eclipse,” a film that neatly balances the teenage operatic passions from Stephenie Meyer’s novels with the movies’ supernatural trappings.

Where the first film leaned heavily on camp and the second faltered through caution and slickness, “Eclipse” moves confidently into the heart of the matter — a love triangle that causes a young woman to realize choices lead to consequences that cannot be reversed.

With the momentum of a movie series that sees installments arriving like clockwork every year, “Eclipse” looks primed to be the most successful film yet in Summit Entertainment’s franchise. The action is pretty much relegated to the climax, but it’s nifty enough that young men may get into the series too even if “Eclipse” isn’t their first choice on a Friday night. (Read about the fan frenzy surrounding the premiere here and here, and check out photos of the Thursday night event at L.A. Live here.)

The film starts a little slowly with its classic reintroduction of its main characters, heroine Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), more determined than ever to go vampire for her undead boyfriend; the gloomy dreamboat Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), an ancient being who still hasn’t graduated high school; and Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), a perennially bare-chested Native American who shape-shifts into a wolf at a moment’s notice.

Even here the film doesn’t mind kidding itself. Edward takes one look at Jacob and complains to Bella, “Doesn’t he own a shirt?” The script by Melissa Rosenberg offers a few more opportunities like this that wink at its own silliness.

Things pick up rapidly once intros are done, with the ramifications of the girl/vampire/werewolf triangle becoming increasingly intense for all parties while an outside threat looms over them all.

A crime wave has hit Seattle, a few leagues from the bucolic Washington town that shelters so many supernatural creatures apparently without any townspeople catching on. A series of vicious killings and disappearances tip off the Cullen clan that a vampire is creating an army of newborns — newly turned vampires whose ravenous thirst makes them stronger and more deadly than “old” vampires.

This army recruiter is red-headed Victoria (Bryce Dallas Howard, the epitome of sensual, feline cunning), who, in seeking revenge against the Cullens and Edward in particular, means to destroy Bella. Which causes Edward and Jacob to contemplate the unthinkable, a temporary alliance to protect the girl they both love.

It’s like the uneasy partnership between lawman Wyatt Earp and outlaw Doc Holliday against the Clanton clan at the O.K. Corral in “My Darling Clementine.” Well, why not a Western? “The Twilight Saga” already mixes together high school melodrama, outsider fiction and teen romance into a mishmash of sci-fi and horror genres. (Check out video of the “Eclipse” stars talking to THR on the red carpet of the film’s premiere here.)

Since Rosenberg’s writing has never been the problem in the series, much of the credit for the success of “Eclipse” probably belongs to the series’ third director, David Slade (“Hard Candy,” “30 Days of Night”). He quickly establishes a rapid yet unhurried pace, a willingness to let tongue perch in cheek and an unapologetic indulgence in this basic fantasy of every teenage girl — that two high school hunks are in love with her and willing to die for her, except, of course, that one is already undead.

The three leads shine under his direction. Stewart anchors everything with a finely tuned if not slightly underplayed performance that catches her character in moments of doubt about the course and the man she has chosen. Pattinson makes you forget the white makeup and weird eye contact lenses to concentrate on a person torn over his love for a woman and the sacrifice he knows she will have to make to stay with him.

But it’s Lautner who nearly steals the movie with his ripped muscle and steely acting. He definitely has the “it” factor Hollywood always looks for.

The high school scenes and those between Bella and her police chief dad (Billy Burke) are quick and light and doubly effective for not dawdling. The series’ more peripheral characters are coming into better focus as well. The film delivers backstories for both Jasper (Jackson Rathbone) and Rosalie (Nikki Reed) of the Cullen family as well as the origins of Jacob’s family, the wolf pack, without any of these flashbacks seeming like intrusions.

Speaking of the wolf pack, the CG wolves, huge creatures whose ferocity fails to mask their tenderness, are very cool, and the fight at the climax among wolves, vampires and one poor human is no letdown. It delivers the goods without overstaying its welcome, which is more than can be said about most CG movie fights.

Production values are aces with DP Javier Aguirresarobe and production designer Paul Denham Austerberry very much taking advantage of the dark, woodsy and utterly beguiling beauty of British Columbia.

Repost USA Today Interview of Rob, Kris and Tay

Reposting this article from USA Today which I find really funny.. at last something else made me smile and laugh for ages. Loving these three.

CHICAGO — Dashingly disheveled Robert Pattinson has an infectious, high-pitched laugh that would never do for his seductive vampire lover-boy, Edward Cullen.

Buff-and-polished Taylor Lautner is pocket-size compared with the looming stature of his werewolf counterpart, Jacob Black.

Casual yet cool Kristen Stewart can be a real chatterbox, unlike her moody Bella Swan, the high schooler in a romantic tug of war between these two supernatural objects of teen desire.

Lucky girl, right? "Yeah, but that's in the movies," Stewart says about bringing to life the modern-day Gothic heroine from the insanely popular Twilight book series (85 million copies sold so far).

"I'm just the ultimate fan. If you read a story and you like it and connect to it, it probably means you've inserted yourself in the story, and I get to do that on the most glorified level possible."

Hollywood fantasy regularly blends with everyday reality for these three blazing-hot rising stars. It has taken a while for a cultural navigator like Oprah Winfrey to zero in on the heat behind the literary-spawned phenom. But on this early May morning, Twilight fever is raging at Harpo Studios as the actors file into the backstage area after taping a show that aired Thursday. The occasion? Eclipse, the third chapter in an already billion-dollar worldwide franchise that arrives June 30.

The actors are unfazed by the shrieking adoration of a largely female audience, many in black Twilight T's — Team Edward and Team Jacob are duly represented — and all handpicked for their passion for the epic movie series based on author Stephenie Meyer's four-part saga.

"It's so nice sometimes, preaching to the converted," says Pattinson, 24, the London-born overnight sex symbol and primary reason for the screams. Thanks to his devoted worshipers, he has been elevated from a little-known Harry Potter supporting player to one of Time's 100 most influential people in the world in less than three years. They were out in force the night before at a Winfrey-sponsored screening of an unfinished print of Eclipse. Afterward, a firestorm of fan Tweets rife with "OMGs" gushed about the much-anticipated sequel to 2008's Twilight and last year's New Moon.

Once Stewart, 20, painstakingly signs Winfrey's guest book and Lautner, 18, stops practicing his grape-tossing parlor trick, the castmates settle into a buttery leather sofa to talk about such topics as the iconic moments that are re-created in Eclipse, run-ins with other celebrities and what the post-Twilight future holds.

The fame game

But, first, the pain of fame that comes from being on the paparazzi's most-wanted list is addressed. When New Moon opened last fall, barely a day went by without seeing a headline about Lautner and country cutie Taylor Swift or speculation on whether Pattison and Stewart are a real-life couple.

Although, lately, the frenzy has calmed somewhat, judging by the number of Twilight-free magazine covers at grocery checkouts. "I don't know if this is the actual reason why, but we have gotten better at hiding over the last year," Pattinson says.

"That's totally the reason," Stewart concurs. "They just make up a story to go along with the pictures. If they never get the picture, there's no story. We are just good hiders now."

Such subterfuge includes neither confirming nor denying that they are in a relationship. Yet there clearly is some sort of special connection between the two, what with their playful teasing and personal asides. Let's just say it wasn't Lautner who placed a hand on Pattinson's leg during a portion of the interview.

But all three take their Twilight-related duties to heart, whatever they might require. Stewart even leaps up in a panic at one point, fearing she misspelled a word in her salutation to Winfrey. She checks the book: "Believe ?"— ie or ei

"I before e except after c," Pattinson responds. She checks. "Oh, yeah," she says with a triumphant fist pump.

Pattinson laughs. "I almost spelled Oprah wrong. I almost wrote Opera."

The actors are keen to know how Eclipse played to the crowd at the screening and are pleased to hear that every element has been heightened: the horror, the romance, the three-way interaction among their characters, the touches of humor that often come at the expense of Edward and Jacob's rivalry — especially after they forge a testy alliance to save Bella from a roving gang of rabid newborn vampires.

Stewart says of Eclipse's positive early reception: "It is a well-oiled machine at this point. We have had a lot of time to establish what this thing is about and a lot of time to consider it. And they gave us so much more money this time. So that is exciting."

Pattinson, looking bemused, quickly clarifies her statement. "For the film. The budget."

Stewart is chagrined. "Oh, my God. No, no. That didn't even occur to me. They gave us so much more money to make the film look good!"

The leads did get raises — Stewart and Pattinson are taking home a reported $7.5 million each plus a percentage of the gross, Lautner gets $5 million — while the production's price tag grew to $65 million, still modest compared with similar franchises.

Yet the few extra bucks seem to have paid off, especially with the effects. Even Lautner's CG wolf alter-ego is more adorable than in New Moon. "Yeah," says the actor, sheepishly. "It was very cuddly. I don't know if that's what we were aiming for."

He waffles over the wisdom of sharing an anecdote about the scene in which the vicious horse-sized beast sweetly nuzzles Bella and she scratches his ear. After a little coaxing, he relents.

"That day I came on set and put on this tight gray spandex suit ..."

"There is dialogue and I talk to him," Stewart explains. "I said, 'How am I going to do this without Taylor?' " So instead of the actress pretending that a massive computer-animated wolf was nearby, Lautner volunteered to be its stand-in.

"Basically, it looked like a Teletubby," he continues about his outfit. "I had this circle on the face but everything else was covered. It was weird. But, yeah, I stood there and would literally bend over ..."

"I would actually pet his head," Stewart adds.

Pattinson, meanwhile, struggled with Edward's rather formal proposal to Bella, which reflects the fact that although his vintage vampire looks 17, he hails from the turn of the last century.

"I was dreading the day it was coming," he says of the scene that was held until the very end of the shoot. "The first time I read the script, I thought, 'This is impossible.' " References to "promenades" and sharing "iced tea on the porch" as Edward explains how he would have courted Bella in the old days especially stuck in his throat. "It's so earnest. I finally convinced the producers that you can play it with a bit of awareness of not being a fictional character. I'm not trying to be part of a Gothic novel."

When Pattinson finally watched it, however, he was pleasantly surprised. "It seems different when you see it."

Their profiles have grown with each film, and celebrity status does afford them the chance to mingle with their own idols. Although, more often than not, the other stars are the ones bedazzled as they request autographs for their Twilight-crazed kids.

"I took a picture with Ron Howard last year at the Oscars," Pattinson recalls. "I thought it was the funniest thing. I asked, 'Is it for your kids?' He said, 'No, it's for me. I want to have it on my phone.' " Making the situation even odder: Howard's daughter, Bryce Dallas Howard, is in Eclipse.

Alas, Pattinson has yet to run into his favorite, Jack Nicholson.

Stewart pipes up: "I have."

Pattinson: "What? When did you meet?"

Stewart: "At a screening for Into the Wild," her 2007 coming-of-age drama directed by Sean Penn. "He was exactly like you think he would be."

Pattinson, sounding peeved: "You never told me that."

Lautner joins in. "I didn't meet him but I sat next to him at a Lakers game."

Pattinson, utterly exasperated: "What?

Life beyond 'Twilight'

Next subject. The three are actively trying to ward off post-Twilight typecasting by doing solo projects in between. Stewart and Pattinson, both bookworms and drawn to art-house fare, earned OK reviews but underwhelming ticket sales for their two recent releases, the girl-band bio The Runaways and the romantic melodrama Remember Me.

But they continue to be in demand for more mature roles. Stewart is psyched to be a part of a big-screen version of Jack Kerouac's On the Road, which starts shooting in August. Pattinson recently wrapped his work on the London set of Bel Ami as a 19th-century social-climbing rogue opposite Kristin Scott Thomas, Uma Thurman and Christina Ricci. Does he bed all three?

"Yes, but they're not like typical love scenes at all," he says.

Adds Stewart: "They're all a little weird. A little edgy. And a little nude." Chuckling ensues.

Meanwhile, Lautner — a natural athlete who played a high school track star in the box-office-topping ensemble comedy Valentine's Day— seems to be angling to become the next big action hero with upcoming roles in the thriller Abduction and Stretch Armstrong, a 3-D adventure based on a toybox muscleman.

Did he ever own one of the dolls, whose limbs could be pulled and elongated like taffy? "I don't remember having one at my house, but I totally remember stretching that sucker."

Then there is the next Twilight feature, Breaking Dawn, opening Nov. 18 next year. The fourth and presumably final book is so jammed with life-altering events — a wedding, first-time sex between Bella and Edward, a grotesquely painful birth — that there has been talk of doing two films back to back. And it might even be in 3-D. But the actors can confirm only their involvement.

What has been decided is that Breaking Dawn's director will be Bill Condon, the filmmaker behind Dreamgirlsand Oscar-nominated screenwriter of Chicago.

Have they met Condon, who already posted a letter on Facebook reassuring fans of his appreciation of the material and that the film most definitely will not be a musical despite his résumé?

Lautner nods yes.

Pattinson: "When did you meet him?" Lautner: "One day." Stewart: "Did you have a meeting?" Lautner: "No, no." Pattinson: "I literally met him three nights ago."

Stewart, in a mock snit: "Well, he obviously doesn't want to meet me."

Rob Pattinson in the TIMES Mag

Featured as one of the Most Influential Man..awesome! The article was written by Chris Weitz: New Moon Director.

I have to be careful about what I write here because it will be tweeted the moment TIME hits the stands. And if I say something bad about Rob Pattinson, I'm dead meat. That's the devotion the Twilight films inspire. It's certainly not how he planned it. And though I am continually impressed by the aplomb with which he handles the hysteria, I occasionally think he would take it all back if given the chance. Because essentially, Rob, 23, is a reserved, bookish sort of specimen, a guy who'd rather spend the night at the corner table in the pub with friends — a bit of a weirdo, frankly, in the best sense.

So how to write about someone who seems to answer Freud's rhetorical question, What do women want? Perhaps it's just worth pointing out that it'd be fun to have a beer with him even if he weren't Edward Cullen. That we haven't seen a tenth of what he can do onscreen. And that important things, beyond the veil of Hollywood, occupy his time too — music, conversation, ideas, a sense of the absurd. Which, maybe, explains why he never gets to my e-mails. I love you, Rob! Call me!

BILL CONDON TO DIRECT SUMMIT ENTERTAINMENT'S THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN

The Cullen's Houses

I have been really fascinated with the Cullen's house. It's modern, clean and very sophisticated. Although I am faced with a dilemma of turning our house into the Art Deco style of New Moon to the Georgian/ Regency style once famous in this country, I decided to have a bit of both.

So after searching for one of the Cullen's room where Edward and Bella talked about the Volturi, I found some pics of the Cullen's house.

The design reminds me of Grand Design..peculiar yet makes the most of the space.

The glass and windows give out so much light.

The New Moon house is very modern yet very spacious. It's actually under the hammer.

The wood finish gives it an elegant touch.

Eclipse Paperback

There has been a new released Eclipse paperback from Barnes & Noble. I think it's rather dramatic having Edward only in Bella's eye. 'It's always been him.. 'no?

And I love this new poster for Breaking Dawn.. It's amazing how the photos unfold each time.. Lovely Bella in her chosen life.

looking at the Cullens

The Cullens have been the most loved vampire 'family'.. so here is a photo of their transformation in the Twilight Saga.

Breaking Dawn Director

Finally there is some light on who will direct Breaking Dawn. Summit have considered Stephen Daldry- the director of The Reader as reported by the Los Angeles Times.

Having already gone indie with Catherine Hardwicke, polished/commercial with Chris Weitz and genre auteur with David Slade for the franchise’s first three movies, Summit clearly wants a high-end Oscar- prestige filmmaker to handle the fourth picture.

Still, even by those standards, Daldry stands out. He’s been nominated for three Oscars, more than any of the other directors on the short list. In fact, Daldry is the rare filmmaker who’s been nominated for a best directing Oscar for every feature he’s made.

Those credentials make taking on a global teen phenomenon seem unlikely, though there are reasons to think it could work. The director is well-versed in depicting forbidden love (a “Twilight” staple) with “The Reader” and “The Hours.” And he’s adept at themes of family alienation, also a franchise fixture, which ran under “Billy Elliot.” Also, like most of the others, Daldry doesn’t yet have a new film.

Wow these are my favorites films he directed and Kate Winslet won an Oscar for The Reader.. Looking forward to Breaking Dawn.

Eclipse Sneak Peek (longer version)

Still think this is a longer version compared to the one included in the DVD.

Just a babble

I just got myself a New Moon DVD yesterday despite the misleading advert from the local supermarket I bought it from. Since the released of the DVD many shops have come up with various antics just to get people buying. What annoyed me was the big sign outside saying it only cost  £7 as others have sold it about £8 while original retail price was £11 + for the single disc. It would  have been a bargain but the catch was I had to spend £40 in the shop to avail it. I didn't bother asking then how it works and ended up paying the full retail price as I just couldn't wait nor ignore the DVD.
For a Twihard like me it's almost a sin not to get a copy.. When I got to work today one seemingly exuberant colleague of mine wanted me to guess what she bought herself and surpringly predictable she was I said was it the New Moon DVD. It's through her I found out about the deal  but never mind I got it and enjoyed it more than the first time I saw it in the cinema. The break up still made me sad and Bella confined in her room in almost catatonic state had me in tears..

While looking out for more updates I saw this analysis done by the Twilight Source about the posters released in the saga. I, too had noticed the progression and differences of each. It doesn't help reading the book several times.When I posted previously the new Eclipse poster I immediately saw the difference. I just wasn't in the mood of writing about it.  So let's revisit them.

I personally like the first poster. In this one It showed Bella's innocence and youthfulness while Edward looked years older. I agree that his position in the photo showed his new presence in Bella's life almost sudden yet pronounced. I also like the quote 'When you can live forever, what do you live for?' I strongly believe these lines have captured many romatics out there.

 

The New Moon showed the remarkable presence of Jacob keeping Bella and Edward apart. In this photo the focus was on Edward. He made a major decision and placed Bella behind not knowing the consequences. Bella holding on to Jacob showed what the latter could do when Edward turned his back on her.

Eclipse poster has more dark colours to it. Bella in the front along with the lines 'It all begins.. with a choice' connotes the decision she is about to take. As far as I could remember in Eclipse she was torn between the two characters and in the end decided Edward was the one she couldn't live without. Although Bella will be the focus in this film  we will also be shown  how two equally strong men have to risk it all to protect her.. How sweet!!

Lovely pic of Bella.

Funny Twi Spoof

Robert Pattinson and Emilie de Ravin Vogue Interview

Twilight's phenomenon Robert Pattinson and Lost's Emilie de Ravin drop the fangs and the fear in a new love story.
By John Powers. Photographed by Norman Jean Roy.

Ask Robert Pattinson and Emilie de Ravin about shooting their new movie, Remember Me, and they instantly start talking about the throngs of Twilight fans and pushy paparazzi who swarmed around them as they filmed on the streets of New York.

"It was the most ridiculous experience," says Pattinson, flashing the sweet, shy smile those crowds hoped to see. "You're trying to stay in character and you're trying to walk down the street, but all those people keep reminding you that you're not this character, you're—"

"A show pony," cracks de Ravin, and the two burst into laughter.

Although this duo could hardly be more different—de Ravin, 28, boasts the easy physical confidence of a onetime ballerina, while the slouchy 23-year-old Pattinson is all self-effacing bemusement—their effortless rapport is the emotional anchor of Remember Me. Pattinson stars as Tyler Hawkins, an alienated and confused young man from a wealthy family—"It's not too Rebel Without a Cause," he jokes—who gets involved with Ally (de Ravin), the daughter of a cop who arrested him after a street fight. Where Twilight treats him as the object of desire, a role that requires as much posing as acting, this character-driven drama brings out his most emotionally complex performance so far. Whether Tyler's raging at his distant father, Charles (played by Pierce Brosnan), or charming Ally, he has a surprisingly deft comic touch; Pattinson is now the one doing the chasing.

"Rob and Emilie are gifted actors who really like each other," says Remember Me's director, Allen Coulter. "And the movie reveals them in a whole new way."

Which is precisely what both of them wanted—to show what they can do outside the juggernauts of Twilight and Lost.

Remember Me may well prove the big-screen breakthrough for de Ravin, an Australian still best known as the new mother, Claire, on Lost, a role that was often undemanding. "I was always holding the baby in every scene," she says, "while everybody else was going off shooting people." Here, she throws herself into the conflicted passions of Ally, a young woman who, eager to escape an adoring but overprotective father, struggles to break through her own veneer of toughness.

For his part, RPattz (as he's known to his teen worshippers) is eager to start playing complicated human beings and not just heartthrobby vampires. Not that he doesn't relish being Edward Cullen or feel loyal to his fans, but he still hasn't figured out how to cope with being an international icon in an era when it seems impossible to escape the public eye.

"Everybody knows where everybody is," he says. "The Twitter thing is unbelievable. I went out a couple of times with Pierce. He's totally recognizable, and he makes no effort to tone it down. Some people were glancing over at us in the restaurant, and he just went over and introduced himself. And it does work. It dissipates all the attention."

So, does Pattinson use this trick?

"Me?" he says, shaking those famously tousled locks, "I just crawl under the table."

Bella's Eclipse Photo

Kristen Stewart had a haircut for the 'Runaways', her recent film so how to recreate the Bella's look in Eclipse?
"To get that pigment out is going to be very difficult," admitted the Twilight Saga cast's colorist, Stuart Gavert, to Life & Style.
So, what's a stylist to do?
"I'd bleach her hair to remove the color, then condition it and match it to the weave she wears in the film."

Volvo Sales and Robert Pattinson

You already heard about how Robert Pattinson and The Twilight Saga: New Moon helped to boost sales of the XC60. Apparently, Pattinson (who portrays none other than "Edward Cullen," in the film series of course) and the film Twilight have helped to boost sales of the original film Volvo, the C30, too.

According to Chicago Business, several Volvo dealership owners have spoken out on the popularity of the cars utilized in the films.

One manager said that "After the movie launched, we saw this spike in C30 sales. We didn't know what had happened until we put two and two together." In that particular dealership's case, "The XC60," used in New Moon, "at $32,995, has not seen the same spike in sales as the C30, at $24,600."

Another dealer stated that he had patrons bringing their children to the lot to take photographs with their stock of the vehicles.

Others report a surge in sales for both the C30 and the XC60.

"We have seen an increase in interest in both vehicles by the youngest of drivers, teens and twentysomethings, and beyond."

Of course, if there is a bit of difference between the popularity of the vehicles, it might stem from the fact that the model used in New Moon was met, initially, with distaste from Twilight fans - both for the switch between films and for the fact that the car in New Moon was not "silver."

In the books - and most fans do want the films to resemble the books as much as possible - the car that Edward Cullen drove was a shiny, silver Volvo, and Stephenie Meyer painted a picture herself of what the car looked like in her mind when writing the series by putting a picture of it on her website and stating "Edward's Volvo [is] the silver S60R (and I've been assured that the "R" part is essential)." While neither of the cars used in the films were exactly what Meyer described, the one for Twilight was, at least, silver.

With The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, Edward's car will remain the same, the XC60, so (excepting the continued insurge of new Twilight fans) there probably won't be any distinguishable "spike" coming after Eclipse, though for Volvo to abandon its marketing of the car (having done the "What Drives Edward" campaign with New Moon) when the film is forthcoming would obviously be a big mistake.

I must admit after seeing the film I haven't noticed Volvo this much on the road and if it's the C30- definitely a head turner.

New Eclipse Pics

Seriously getting worried that there's no trailer yet for Eclipse.. it's just really weird. I hope they are not rushing things and mess the whole thing up.

sneaky fans

I stumbled upon an article on how Twilight fans were even sneakier than papparrazi. Apparently the kiss by Bella and Edward in the piazza in New Moon was seen in You Tube even before the first cut was made.

The Art Director of the Twilight Saga shared his experiences when Jacob Black's house was discovered.

I was a bit surprised when a woman pushing a baby carriage trundled up and said hello. “That’s for a movie, isn’t it?” she asked. ... As warmly as I could, I ducked; “Oh, you know, don’t you think someone could just get tired of green and decide to paint their place red?” She shot back, “Sure, but they wouldn’t keep painting over everything until it looked real old. It’s Jacob’s house isn’t it?” ... She contended that my evasiveness -- in contradiction to the evidence in the meadow -- made it very likely that she had discovered a major Vancouver location for New Moon. Jacob’s house was a key venue in Twilight Saga novels by Stephenie Meyer, but had not appeared in the first movie -- so this was a big find. The fan sites were electrified. The next day another fan ... posted a drive-by video of the location with her voiceover explanation of why this was surely Jacob’s place.

Even the professional paparazzi (hanging off freeway abutments and hiking over cliffs to get shots) couldn’t get imagery posted any faster than the uber tracker fan-base. Oceans were not even a deterrent. Late in the production, I was building a fountain and dressing a public piazza in Tuscany for our last week of shooting. The fan machine was so hungry and efficient that they shot and posted every step of our construction, paint and dressing progress in that piazza so that when the art department in Vancouver came to work each day, they could scrutinize stills and video on public blogs showing precisely what had been accomplished by wrap time in Italy a few hours earlier.


Obviously a new wave of instant media came to life. That's fan power for you.
