Breaking Dawn Part 2

2010-08-12T15:45:00.000+01:00

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

2010-07-10T09:25:00.001+01:00

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

2010-06-29T20:19:00.000+01:00

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

2010-05-17T21:09:00.002+01:00

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

2010-04-29T16:23:00.000+01:00

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!

Summit Entertainment Press Release.

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

Los Angeles, CA April 28, 2010 — Summit Entertainment has confirmed that Academy Award winner Bill Condon will direct THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN, based on the fourth novel in author Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series.

The Cullen's Houses

2010-04-17T20:20:00.001+01:00

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.

2010-04-04T21:52:00.001+01:00

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.

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

Breaking Dawn Director

2010-03-27T09:11:00.002Z

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)

2010-03-26T09:42:00.001Z

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

Just a babble

2010-03-25T20:18:00.002Z

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!!

Robert Pattinson and Emilie de Ravin Vogue Interview

2010-02-16T09:00:00.001Z

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."

"Hot-blooded Romance" has been edited for Vogue.com; the complete story appears in the March 2010 issue of Vogue.

Bella's Eclipse Photo

2010-02-16T08:47:00.000Z

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

2010-02-09T20:59:00.001Z

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.

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

2010-02-05T20:02:00.002Z

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.

I found this illustration of Twilight at TwilightBlog.net. I am not one for things like this normally as I love the books so much and the characters but I just find this hilarious for some reason. Others would probably think it is a mockery and down-right insulting but whatever your judgment you're completely entitled to it. It's actually for those who don't know a lot about the saga. OK?

2010-01-29T19:03:00.002Z

Twilight In Forks: The Saga Of The Real Town will be available on DVD the same day as The Twilight Saga: New Moon: March 20, 2010.

The synopsis for the film is as follows:

The definitive DVD documenting the town of Forks made famous by the Twilight books and movies. This is a fan’s opportunity to see the town that Stephenie Meyer based her epic teen romance books on. Hear from the real people living their lives in the town fans know and love, including the Chief of Police, the Forks Outfitters’ employee who gets mistaken for Bella, and the vampire transplant who plays the real-life role of Alice. Visit Forks High School, hear self-described Jacob’s grandfather tell the legend of how the Quileutes descended from wolves, and see many more of the people and places that make Forks and La Push the perfect setting for The Twilight Saga.

I think this is pretty cool. Don't mind getting hold of a copy.

10 Secrets in New Moon

2010-01-27T19:56:00.003Z

Director Chris Weitz revealed 10 secrets of the film. Here they are. Did you notice them?

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.''

6. Tower of glower

''You can see Volterra's tower and the red-cloaked revelers from the festival of San Marco on the cover of Bella's copy of Romeo and Juliet when she wakes up in her bedroom.''

7. Hope it was a rental...

''In the wolf-fight, we purposely knocked over the camera when the wolves tumble towards it; you can also hear the microphone thumping, as if an actual on-set animal had run into the camera and boom.''

8. Quileute culture

''When prepping to visualize Jacobs and Emily's houses, production designer David Brisbin and his team visited La Push and met the Quileute executive council. While they were there, a young Quileute girl gave David the first drum she made (this is a Quileute custom). To show appreciation, we decided to put the drum in a prominent shot — it's at the entrance of Emily's house, and you see it when Bella first enters. Also, the high pitched 'call' that Embry and Jared give when they jump out of Bella's car is a thing the Quileute kids do.''

9. Waxing romantic

''The reason the moon phases 'backwards' to reveal the title is that this is scientifically correct! I moderated an astrophysics seminar for the Science and Entertainment Exchange with noted astronomer Neil DeGrasse Tyson and he complained about the number of films that get simple science wrong. (Don't ask me to justify vampires or werewolves).''

10. That's Italian!

''In the Volturi chamber, Aro speaks Italian — 'La Tua Cantante' should be easy for readers of the books — he's referring to Bella's being Edward's 'singer,' whose blood calls out to him stronger than anyone else's. Later, when Bella tells him that he doesn't know anything about Edward's soul, he replies, 'Fore ... ne il vostro l'uno o altro' — 'Perhaps ... nor yours either.'''

Breaking Dawn Update

2010-01-27T19:30:00.002Z

The L. A. Times has some info on 'Breaking Dawn' straight from The Twilight Saga producer Wyck Godfrey. In an interview last Friday, he said that 'Breaking Dawn' is still a work in progress, but that it could begin filming this fall in Vancouver:

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.

At the moment, screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg, who’s penned all the “Twilight” movies, is working on the “Breaking Dawn” script(s). “It’s a work in process,” Godfrey said in an interview Friday. “The issue [of whether there will be one or two movies] is not going to be resolved until we get the full treatment and see whether it’s organic. If it’s not organic, I don’t think it will be done, and if it is, it will be. It really has to do with how much level of detail from the books there is, with all of these new vampires that appear in ‘Breaking Dawn,’ the whole section about Jacob… It’s a very long single movie if it does become a single movie.”

Although there’s been a great deal of online chatter about whether Chris Weitz, director of the second and most recent movie, “New Moon,” would return to helm “Breaking Dawn,” Godfrey downplayed that possibility, saying, “I think everyone would be happy and excited if he came back, but I don’t think it’s going to happen.”

He and the other principals are formulating a list of potential directors, “but right now,” Godfrey said, “we’re just focused on the treatment and getting that right. At that point, we’re going to see who’s available and who’s appropriate. It’s such a complicated book because you have the emotions and the intensity of the love story — so you need somebody who’s just a wonderful director of actors — and yet it’s really complicated from an action and visual effects standpoint. They’ve got to have both tools in their kit.”

A visual effects background might be particularly helpful when it comes to dealing with the character of Renesmee.

“I keep having visions of ‘[The Curious Case of] Benjamin Button’ in my head,” Godfrey said, referring to David Fincher’s Oscar-nominated 2008 fantasy about a man who becomes physically younger as he ages. “It’s certainly going to be visual effects in some capacity along with an actor. I wouldn’t be surprised if it ends up being a full CG creation, but it also may be a human shot on a soundstage that then is used to shrink down. I don’t know. We need a director. When we get a director, that director will need to come with a point of view of how they want to tackle it.”

The third movie in the series, “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” is due in theaters June 30.

Hello!

I like Edward & Bella story and although the other actors have made the film interesting I don't feel like delving into their lives and what happen after Twilight. I am actually wondering if I have enough battery to sustain another blog on a main online Twilight site. Sure I could write about what I feel about the film, books, characters and the actors who played them but it sounds like a job to me. I don't like it when I couldn't earn back not that I am gaining a lot from having two blogs especially this one. I'm also aware that it would be the appropriate place to talk about random Twibits with readers who obviously are avid Twi fans but it still sound or appeal daunting to me. Anyway, whether I take this opportunity or not let's wait and see.
I found this fanmade trailer of Eclipse by tiffanyd666. Enjoy!

New Moon Italy Set

2009-12-12T09:40:00.000Z

Director Chris Weitz shared some photos of the set from the Twilight Saga: New Moon in his own photobook.

Montepulciano Set

We will be using the town of Montepulciano to serve as Volterra. We scouted about ten Italian hilltowns, and Montepulciano offered the best combination of beauty, age, change in height (you can see rolling fields below from the alleys running up to the main square, etc.) and symmetry that satisfied my obsessive qualities. Why not finish off this roundup with a little Italian scenery:

This is the clock tower of the main square of Montepulciano. Directly underneath is where Edward intends to reveal himself to the crowd. The cafe on the very right of the shot was THE hangout for Twi-fans who went to Montepulciano -- people would sit up there and order coffees for the whole day to get a close look at filming! This is what Bella sees as she finishes her run upwards and arrives at the square:

In other words, she sort of ascends through a series of alley ways and streets to the square itself. Here is a shot from the top of the clock tower itself, showing the square from above which, like the throng of visitors to the festival, also happens to be red –

To the upper right, you can see the corner that Bella turns as per the previous photo; and past that, green hills below…

MTV Eclipse Cheat Sheet

2009-12-09T20:31:00.000Z

Waiting for Eclipse huh? This is the newish update about the film and casts.

Let the Race Begin

Summit Entertainment made headlines in February when it announced the release date of "Eclipse" as June 30, less than a year after "New Moon." At the time, the accelerated pace seemed a bit risky, but fans were cautiously pleased that Edward, Bella and the rest wouldn't be aging half-decades at a time between films. Taylor Lautner promised a "darker" film, Kristen Stewart said the love triangle will be further intensified, Rob promised that Bella will be treacherous in the flick, and the Cullens themselves are looking forward to kicking some ass.

Flashing Back

One of the most eagerly anticipated aspects of "Eclipse" is the multiple flashbacks we'll be seeing of Dr. Carlisle Cullen recruiting his "family" as they were set to die decades ago in human form. Jackson Rathbone might have the meatiest backstory as Jasper, and he has filmed scenes where he's riding horses on the Civil War battlefield, learning lessons that will help the family in battle against Victoria. Oscar nominee Catalina Sandino Moreno plays Maria, the vampire who bites Jasper. Meanwhile, Jack Huston has filmed his scenes as Royce King II, a.k.a. the Scumbag Who Nearly Kills Rosalie, and Nikki Reed can't wait for fans to witness her tragic backstory. An eager Slade recently celebrated the film's wrap by leaking the first official photo.

Murphy's Law

Former Bauhaus singer and "Godfather of Goth" Peter Murphy has filmed a key cameo for the third film, an appearance that delighted fan Billy Burke. When we spoke with Melissa Rosenberg recently, she further explained that the cameo sets up the love/hate relationship between the Cullens and the Quileute wolves.

Here Come the Newbies

Among the new stars onboard are Kirsten Prout as Lucy, Boo Boo Stewart as Seth Clearwater, Xavier Samuel as Riley and so many others. At this rate, the cast of the saga might soon outnumber the audience.

Switching Out Stars

Unfortunately, one of the sad things about "New Moon" is that fans spent the weekend watching Rachelle Lefevre's final scenes as Victoria, a character who drives much of "Eclipse." Summit made big news when they announced that Bryce Dallas Howard would be replacing Lefevre. The "stunned" fan favorite went public with her anger over being dismissed. The studio shot back by saying it was "disappointed" in the actress, fans expressed outrage and things became relatively quiet. Lefevre was noticeably absent from the "New Moon" premiere last week, blaming it on a sick dog and claiming she was "too emotional" to attend. We can only hope the drama in "Eclipse" is half as compelling as what has happened behind the scenes.

EW Discusses Edward's Attire

2009-12-03T23:12:00.000Z

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Anyone who’s listened to the Twilight DVD commentary knows that Robert Pattinson wasn’t a fan of Edward’s pea coat.

TISH MONAGHAN: He wasn’t a fan of the pea coat. He wore it in virtually every scene, and I think maybe he just got tired of it. I’m guessing. [Laughs] He just wanted a more mature look. That was part of Edward’s Grade 11 year, and now he’s getting into his graduation year, he’s in a relationship. He had worn hoodies and jeans and sneakers, and Robert, the director [Chris Weitz], and I all wanted to portray him more as a gentleman, more elegant and classic. With our vampire characters, I always went back to the time period in which they were turned to see if there’s any element I could try to simulate in contemporary clothing. He came out of the Edwardian period, around 1910. Of course, most of the gentleman from that time would be wearing suits, coats, hats, etc. We had to pick something that was iconic for the character that would suffice to be used throughout the whole film. At the very beginning of the film, he has one school outfit, and then there’s Bella’s birthday party and disaster strikes. So Edward ends up in that same costume for the remainder of the film. I was thinking of just putting him in a dress shirt and a pair of pants, but Robert wanted to be in a suit.

So I found a modern contemporary look that would be appealing to him and to the massive fan base, a very slim cut, and a fabric that to me was a bit Old World — this beautiful tweed fabric that we got out of England. It had the gray base, which is kind of essential for the Cullen characters in their cool tones, but also had little interesting flecks of blue, which is also Cullen, and a tiny little bit of rust, which I liked because Bella wears earth tones and that kinda linked her into the picture. The general texture of the suit would hold up well no matter what setting he was in: Inside the house for the party, or in the forest, or in the Volturi chamber. We had to show wear on the suit, and it’s much easier to rough up something that has texture to it than just a flat piece of wool. His pants are worn at the knees, they’re rumpled.

I don’t know if anyone’s looking at his pants when he removes his shirt in Italy.
The fans were very excited to see that, I don’t know if Robert was particularly excited to perform that in front of 1,500 people. I think it was quite hard for him to do. We originally tested Edward in a plain white shirt, as a forlorn-looking option. That is also what Robert wanted — he wanted something that would wash him out. But you need to have a color that makes you pop, and so we actually dyed the fabric this beautiful ink blue ourselves. It highlighted his vampire white skin really well. I think it’s a great moment when we see him in these clothes that he’s worn from September to May. When he goes to sacrifice himself, he’s in disrepair. Robert and Chris wanted his shirt to have a rip across the chest, so that’s what we gave him. It’s really kind of tragic to watch him take off his shirt, because he really is sacrificing himself. It looks like he’s just giving up. He’s exposing himself and he’s completely vulnerable, and he just takes his shirt off and he drops it at his feet with his eyes downcast. Then he gets attacked by Bella, who shoves him inside the doors. [Laughs] I don’t find it like a beefcake moment. It really is a moving moment, and I think Robert did a really amazing job for that scene.

The tear across the chest was to symbolize that his heart was torn out when he thought he lost Bella?
Maybe. [Laughs] They just said, “Rip it across the chest.” I said, “Are you sure? No shirt’s gonna rip like this.” And they said, “Yes.” So I did it.

Why couldn’t he remain shirtless for the indoor fight scene? Why put on the robe?
Originally, the guards who grab him were supposed to be coming from the outside — that’s why they give him the robe. But the setting was changed, and they grab him on the inside. So why do they hand him this robe? Because, quite honestly, it looks very cool fighting with this long, flowing garment, and it does hide pads, protect him.

Before the release of New Moon, nearly 8,000 PopWatch readers voted in our “Team Edward or Team Jacob” poll, with 62 percent being emphatically Team Edward. As promised, we’re doing a post-premiere poll to find out if Jacob’s onscreen transformation — and the pain Edward put Bella through — has earned the werewolf any points. Vote again after the jump.

A more interesting question has turned out to be whether Bella is really the best role model in the film. We’re flashing a giant SPOILER ALERT here so we can have an open discussion. Let’s be clear: It’s not a question of abstaining from premarital sex, should you still be living in a time when that’s all that being a “good role model” meant. It’s about whether you would want your daughter to be so infatuated with a guy that she loses herself entirely for months when he leaves her. Of course you wouldn’t. But that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t happen to young girls and women. (Let’s just hope that Twilight’s supernatural component, and the fact that Bella couldn’t talk to anyone about Edward since that would mean revealing that he’s a vamp, accounts for the supersized recovery time.)

By the way the photo below is the cover of Entertainment Weekly which will come out on the 4th December. You can choose the cover..Of course it's always been Team Edward!!

Thoughts on New Moon

2009-11-23T21:33:00.000Z

New Moon was finally out. I have said about having mixed feelings and others must have felt the same. If you read the book several times and watched trailers hundred times it's a weird feeling as you get to watch the film. Well in my case it was.
However I am truly delighted to see Edward and Bella. Afterall they are my modern Romeo and Juliet. Many would have sided Jacob but still Edward rules. There are some questions in my head that were hanging around before and after watching the film I'm glad they were answered. Some of them were about this set of photos.

This photo of Edward is so pretty . One taken at the meadow in Bella's dream.

I was wondering what the image in her dream would be and it's quite surreal the way it was shown in the film. The photo below is my favorite. I didn't know where this was taken but this was shown in Alice's vision of Bella becoming one of them. Nice..

I must admit it was a bit of a slow pacing plot. However we have to understand that New Moon is only a part of a big story and it can't stand alone as a film by itself. All I could say is Stewart did a great job in depicting Edward's absence. The pain was excruciating that even I who watched it felt it in my bones. Whatever the reviews would be still this won't waver my loyalty to the Twilight Saga.

Insider Interview

2009-11-10T11:30:00.000Z

Have you seen America's Sweetheart? This sort of setting with the actors just reminded me of it. The same place where Rob was interviewed by ET and now with the Insider.. It must be a tiring job repeating yourself or talking about the same thing again and again.. anyway it's their job so probably so used to it..

Rob Pattinson E! Interview

2009-11-09T14:54:00.000Z

I could certainly see New Moon in the horizon. Since I couldn't go to the gig in London on Wednesday (that's definite) due to family concerns I decided to just wait for the UK premiere. With the build up to the official screening dates we get to see hundreds of interviews from everywhere and guest appearances from the casts. The recent one I found was the E Online Interview of Robert Pattinson.. Check this out.

Things are getting weird for Robert Pattinson.
But considering he's starring as high school vampire Edward Cullen in the movie adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling young adult novel, Twilight, that's probably to be expected.
Still, just last week the 22-year-old British actor was at an Apple store in New York City when a 7-year-old girl asked to take a photo with him. No big deal, right? More.

Meet the Volturi

2009-11-09T13:12:00.000Z

Since we are about to watch New Moon in a few weeks time. Let's get to know the Volturi and their interesting family.

Leaders
Aro, Caius and Marcus are the leaders of the Volturi. They command the Volturi's guard and act as representatives when dealing with other covens. Aro has the ability to read every thought a human or vampire ever had simply by making physical contact with them. Marcus has the ability to sense relationships, as demonstrated in New Moon. Unlike Aro and Marcus, Caius is not gifted.

Aro
Caius
Marcus

The Wives

Mates of the Volturi leaders. The wives are also powerful figures of authority, but only go to trials with their husbands on behalf of extremely important matters, not leaving Volterra but once every few centuries. Didyme had the power to make an aura of happiness, similar to Jasper's gift. Unlike Didyme, Sulpicia and Athenodora are not gifted.

Athenodora (Caius' mate)
Sulpicia (Aro's mate)
Didyme (Marcus's deceased mate)

The Guard

Jane- a high ranking member of the Volturi
Demetri and Felix important members of the Guard
The Volturi Guard is a group of vampires with powerful gifts. The Volturi has been shown to invite only vampires with incredibly powerful gifts that the leaders of the coven see as useful to ensuring that their authority amongst the other covens goes unchallenged. When a vampire is invited into the Volturi, he or she is forced to feel content about joining due to Chelsea's gift to manipulate the emotional bonds of others, usually guaranteeing a swift initiation into the group. Felix and Santiago are the only two ungifted Volturi guards.

The members are as follows:

Afton-unknown talent
Alec-sensory paralysis
Chelsea-relationship manipulation (cannot manipulate emotional ties as easily, eg. Bella and Edward)
Corin-unknown talent
Demetri-tracking sense (known as the greatest tracker in the world)
Felix - (assuming) immense strength
Heidi-unknown talent
Jane-illusion of pain
Renata-protective shield (can form a mental force field to avoid physical attacks, her power is quite similar to Bella's ability to create mental shields to avoid mental attacks.)
Santiago

Former Members

Eleazar: A former member of the Volturi. He was invited into the coven because Aro thought his ability to see the gifts and potential gifts of others was useful for when the Volturi scouted for new members. He resigned after meeting his spouse, Carmen, and joined the Denali Coven.

Didyme: Marcus' wife and Aro's sister. She was murdered by Aro when she and Marcus began to discuss leaving the Volturi.

Other Gianna (Human secretary)

Gianna is only mentioned in New Moon. She had hopes to become a vampire also but Stephenie Meyer has said that Gianna did not survive and was instead killed to sustain the Volturi. There are supposedly more unnamed Volturi and also numerous witnesses, but they are not named in the books.

Desired Members

Carlisle Cullen: Stayed with the coven as a guest. Though he didn't have a special talent that the Volturi saw as useful, they still enjoyed his company. He left due to his reverence of human life, and created his own coven in the United States.

Edward Cullen: Invited several times by the Volturi because of his ability to read minds at a distance. He declined.

Bella Cullen: Aro was impressed with Bella's ability to block mental powers when she was still human. He invited her to join the Volturi when she was still human, and again when she had been turned into a vampire. She declined both times.

Alice Cullen: Invited by the Volturi due to her precognitive powers. She declined. Edward said that Aro never wanted anything more than Alice's powers.

Benjamin: A member of the Egyptian Coven with the ability to physically control the elements. He was offered a place with the Volturi at the confrontation in Breaking Dawn. He declined.

Zafrina: A member of the Amazon Coven with the ability to project illusions into the minds of others. She was offered a place with the Volturi at the confrontation in Breaking Dawn. She declined.

Kate: A member of the Denali Coven with the ability to shock others with an electric current on her skin. She was offered a spot with the Volturi at the confrontation that took place in Breaking Dawn. She, like the rest who were offered, declined.

Renesmee Cullen: Since Renesmee is one of the few half-human vampires in the world, the Cullens assumed that Aro would want her in his "collection." However, while Aro was intrigued by her, an offer for her to join the Volturi was never made.

Shape-Shifters of La Push: During Renesmee's "trial", Aro saw memories of the Cullens' interactions with the La Push wolves. Thinking the Cullens had somehow tamed the wolves to be their pets, he was intrigued by the idea of the wolves working for him as guard dogs. The wolves snarled in response, effectively putting an end to that line of thinking.

Prologue

2009-11-09T12:35:00.000Z

Let me welcome you to the Twilighter's Meadow. Why the name? First I consider myself a Twilighter hopping from one latest Twilight craze to another. The meadow for me is such a sweet word. A tranquil place for Bella and Edward where most of the great memories including the sad ones were created. I thought this space is appropriate for any news, updates, trailers, etc. about the entire saga for people who also admire them.

In reality I don't know how long I'm going to stay in this madness whether this is due to my impulsive sort of musing but we'll see how far I'd go from here. Hope you'll enjoy your visit.
