Yay! I’m glad that Billy Burke will be returning to “Rizzoli and Isles”.  I am really diggin’ that show and am so glad that he’ll be returning.  I’ve been wondering about that since the pilot aired. 

What do you think of Jackson’s photo shoot?  Happy Saturday, Team Jasper!!

Before He Was Famous…Jackson Rathbone In Old MasterCard Commercial

Holy flashback, Batman!  The folks at EclipseMovie.org recently found and posted an old MasterCard commercial starring Jackson Rathbone.  Check it out below.

Billy Burke On the Set of “Red Riding Hood”

Billy Burke was recently spotted and photographed in costume on the set of his latest film, “Red Riding Hood”, in Vancouver.  The film is being directed by Catherine Hardwicke.  Joining Burke in the cast are Amanda Seyfried, Gary Oldman, and Virginia Madsen.  According to iMDB, the film is set to release in March 2011.  Check out the photos here.

Like Bella’s Sunglasses In “Eclipse”?

Eclipse‘s costume designer Tish Monaghan, who revealed that these retro shades were actually just a pair of lower-priced knock-offs that Kristen Stewart picked out of 100 different options collected by props master Grant Swain.

To save you the hassle of trolling the streets for our [EW's] off-the-sidewalk pair, [EW] handpicked three similar style options that’ll help you copy Bella’s retro look:

• Proenza Schouler’s extended cat eye sunglasses ($290; lagarconne.com)
• Ray-Ban’s “Cats 1000″ sunglasses ($170; asos.com)
• Fred Flare’s “Bridget” sunglasses ($11; fredflare.com)

I love when old, before-they-were-famous commercials come out of the woodwork!

So, Billy Burke has teamed up with Catherine Hardwicke again.  I’m curious to see how this project turns out.  I’m not her biggest fan, but I am intrigued by the casting of Gary Oldman in the film.  (I love him as Sirius Black!!)

What did you think of Bella’s shades in the Jacksonville scene?  Do you think that they were more Kristen’s style or did they fit Bella’s style?  Did they inspire you to want a pair of your own?

Taylor Lautner Was Approached For ‘X-Men: First Class,’ Bryan Singer Says

Photo: Frazer Harrison/ Getty Images

www.mtv.com: After his breakout turn as a muscle-bound shape-shifter in “New Moon,” Taylor Lautner has become a go-to Hollywood action star, landing roles in the thriller “Abduction,” the superhero flick “Stretch Armstrong” and, possibly, the martial arts-heavy “Cancun.”

There had also been a rumor the 18-year-old was approached for a role in “X-Men: First Class,” Marvel’s adaptation of the comic series that follows the young mutants as they enroll in Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters. Turns out that rumor was actually true, as producer Bryan Singer revealed over the weekend.

“I wanted Taylor to do it, I really did,” he told Blastr.com. “He’s doing a movie in Pittsburgh called ‘Abduction’ and then he’s got the next ‘Twilight’ movie. We talked about it a lot, he is a friend, and I really wanted to make it work. It just doesn’t look like it’s possible to do it.”

‘Twilight’s’ Billy Burke goes to the dark side in ‘Drive Angry 3D’

www.hitfix.com:There have been a number of supporting players in “The Twilight Saga” who have been able to use their newfound notoriety into bigger roles but none who have deserved the chance more than Billy Burke.  Better known as Bella’s dad Charlie Swan, Burke has been working in Hollywood for almost 20 years with small roles in films such as “Fracture,” “Ladder 49,” “Along Came A Spider” and TV series roles on TV series such as “Gilmore Girls,” “My Boys” and “24.”  Now, he’s getting his most significant break yet as a conniving and evil cult leader in the supernatural action thriller “Drive Angry 3D.”

Visiting the set of “Angry” in Shreveport, Louisiana a few months ago, Burke was the center of a massive action scene between his character and a vengeful father from hell played by none other than Nicolas Cage.  Burke took some time off from his shooting schedule to sit down and talk to the assembled press on a very warm May night.  He was as candid and classy as you’d expect for a longtime Hollywood veteran.

Q: The obvious and immediate thing that all of us nerds are thinking right away is wondering whether or not this is a little bit cathartic after having played the dad in ‘Twilight.’

Burke:  It is, indeed.  I started my career actually, maybe the first 10, 11 years, playing the bad boyfriend with the gun.  And I got ill with that and moved on, for some reason, to playing cops all the time.  And so this is quite a nice and refreshing departure from all that.  I get to, yeah, let loose a little bit, do some stuff that I wouldn’t normally do; that nobody would normally do, I suppose.  [laughs]

Q: I am curious.  How has the ‘Twilight’ success affected you? You can’t go into Hot Topic can you?

Burke:  Hot Topic’s a rough one, yeah.  When I’m not…when I don’t have the mustache on my face, it’s a lot easier.  But yeah…Look, I’m not Nic Cage or Robert Pattinson now.  But yeah, it does happen.  So when I go into the poker rooms and stuff like that, they…it’s mostly like…especially sitting across the table from somebody, and with these nails, they start with that, and they go, ‘Hey, what’s that?’  And then they start to look up…It’s one of those “I know you from somewhere type of things.”  And then somebody else will say, ‘He’s the da, da, da, da da.’  And then it ends up with, ‘Can you take a picture with my daughter?’ That’s where it usually goes.

Christian Serratos talks human improv in ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’

'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' - Kimberley French/Summit Ent.

www.examiner.com: With The Twilight Saga: New Moon, we saw how entertaining improv could be when Anna Kendrick murmured about the associations between zombie films and lepracy, and with The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, it seems, the human actors were expected to do improv once again.

Christian Serratos (“Angela Weber”) talked to the Huffington Post about her work in Eclipse, saying :

“A lot of the improv was literally us trying to make each other mess up. It ended up working. It’s really cool. It’s funny to see what scenes they end up taking.”

Taylor as Wolverine. Do you imagine him as Wolverine? I don’t think I do, maybe someone else like Daniel Cudmore’s character Colossus. There are so many characters in the X-Men world But time didn’t let him participate, too bad. Would you have like to see him in X-Men: First Class?

What do you think of Billy Burke’s new role? Do you prefer him as Charlie Swan?

Kristen Stewart Won’t Wear A Wig In ‘Breaking Dawn’: ‘I’m Going To Have My Own Hair’

We’ll admit, we were one of many who jumped in on the bashing-of-Kristen-Stewart’s-wig-in-”Eclipse” bandwagon, but hey, it didn’t look that great! After seeing the movie, it wasn’t as bad as we were anticipating, but there were still come scenes in the film that it looked pretty obvious.

After rounds and rounds and rounds of interviews, someone (very unlikely, might we add) finally asked her about WigGate: George Lopez. We’re guessing Kristen’s dad, who works for the show, prompted the question, but still, we’re glad someone had the guts to speak up.

“Is it widely known that, in ‘Eclipse,’ that you were wearing a wig?” George innocently asked Kristen, and she laughingly answered “yeah” just as the audience members started yelling out, “Yesssss!”

Taylor Lautner Talks Werewolf Vs. Vampire Fights On ‘Letterman’

“Eclipse” has been tearing up the multiplex for days, but that doesn’t mean the vampire film’s stars get a break from their appearance-a-minute publicity duties. Ashley Greene, Nikki Reed and Xavier Samuel have already jetted across the pond for the London premiere, and the cast is expected to pop up at random surprise appearances across the U.S. throughout the weekend.

Lucky for Taylor Lautner, then, that the “Late Show With David Letterman” actually tapes in the afternoon, so perhaps the 18-year-old was able to get a decent night’s sleep before the hectic weekend schedule shifts into gear. Wearing a fitted gray suit, Lautner chatted with the talk-show host about his persistent onscreen shirtlessness, who would win in a fight between a vampire and a werewolf, and how he got started in the business.

Questioning Chief Swan: Billy Burke on Kristen Stewart, his debut album

latimesblogs.latimes.com: The Ministry has previously highlighted the struggles of “The Twilight Saga’s” ordinary humans, and perhaps the most popular is Kristen Stewart‘s on-screen dad, Billy Burke.

Ministry of Gossip: So this is the third time around playing Bella’s dad. Are you and Kristen on autopilot at this point?

Billy Burke: We sort of jumped right in from the get-go. We naturally have a similar relationship [to Charlie and Bella], you know, we don’t bring a lot of baggage. But I feel like she could take care of me. She’s a very strong and solid individual.

MoG: You’re a fan favorite, but we don’t see many photos of you grocery shopping or working out. How do you avoid the attention?

BB: It happens once in a while on the street, but I’m really not recognizable without the Charlie mustache.

HOWARD SHORE SINKS HIS TEETH INTO ‘THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE’

© 2008 Benjamin Ealovega

www.ifmagazine.com: Though the TWILIGHT saga is still relatively young with two released entries, the rock chords of Carter Burwell, and the lush romance of Alexandre Desplat in NEW MOON have captured all the teen angst of virginity vs. vampirism. Now as the series’ tone takes a twist to the dark side for ECLIPSE, the franchise’s oldest music voice yet has been called upon to play the conflict between Team Edward and Team Jacob. And TWILIGHT couldn’t hope for a better prince of darkness than Howard Shore, whose famed, surging walls of string insanity and pounding percussion have included the likes of SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, THE CELL and SEVEN. It wouldn’t surprise if Shore truly went for the throat given that ECLIPSE has been directed by David Slade, whose 30 DAYS OF NIGHT stands as one of the most brutal mainstream vampire films in memory.

iF: How did you get the job to score ECLIPSE?

HOWARD SHORE: I just got a call about doing it. When I saw ECLIPSE, I thought it was a good story. And I had enjoyed the other two movies, which I thought Carter Burwell and Alexandre Desplat had done a very good job scoring. Now I thought it would be interesting to write a third part, because the story expands so much in ECLIPSE. And that gives your music a lot to work dramatically with. That made this score particularly fun to create. It’s like a relay race. Carter had passed the baton to Alexander. Now I’ve got it. And I hope I’ve created music that breathes life to the series, and will take viewers into the final part of the story.

iF: ECLIPSE is certainly the biggest score that David Slade has had for one of his films- and certainly a very different vampire score from the brilliantly insane one that Brian Reitzell did for Slade’s 30 DAYS OF NIGHT.

SHORE: David’s a terrific director, especially because he’s very detailed in his approach. He knows how music should be used to drive the story, and express the characters’ feelings. It was a good collaboration.

Eclipse Opens Big!

Eclipse hit theater screens beginning at midnight on June 30th, to rabid Twi-hard fans (who apparently couldn’t handle the scares in the Paranormal Activity 2 teaser), and has collected a whopping estimated $68.2 million in its first day.

If the estimate holds, this would knock The Dark Knight out of second place for that record, but it still wouldn’t best New Moon‘s top single-day earning of $72.7 million. Still, Eclipse beat Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen for biggest Wednesday opening, besting that film’s $62 million take.

There were scenes where Kristen’s wig looked funny, her hair or the wig’s hair would be one way or the other, curly ends, but the one that looked like it would fall any minute was Victoria’s. I’m not saying anything against Bryce, just the wig. There is still time for Kristen’s hair to grow from here to October, Billy’s mustache too What did you think of the wigs this time around? What do you think of Billy Burk as Charlie?

Oh, I have to admit that I loved the Power Rangers when little, martial arts have always been interesting, thank Zordon for the blue Ranger who gave us Taylor. I think he is just great as Jacob

Collider Interview with Billy Burke

from Collider.com:

Billy Burke is a compelling and critically acclaimed actor whose credits span both television and feature film. In the phenomenally successful Twilight films, he plays Charlie Swan, the Forks Chief of Police, who is also the father of Bella (Kristen Stewart), a young woman torn between her vampire love, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), and her werewolf best friend, Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner).

The latest installment, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, sees Bella and Charlie sharing some highly memorable, touching and funny father-daughter moments, which the actor said he really enjoyed filming. In this exclusive interview with Collider, Billy Burke talked about working with the talented Kristen Stewart, how he could never choose between Team Edward and Team Jacob, his thoughts on the baby in Breaking Dawn and how he’s looking forward to working with Bill Condon.

Since you hadn’t been familiar with what the Twilight saga was when you auditioned, was there a point that you read the books to get the background on your character, or did you just go with what was in the script?

Billy: It’s pretty wildly known by now, with all the interviews that I’ve done, that I’ve never cracked one of the books. I am not a big reader, to begin with. When I read the script, I realized how oblivious Charlie was to everything else that was going on around him. Everything that I really need to know is in the scripts. Everything else is information that I don’t want to bog myself down with. That way, the movies are fresh to me. When I see them for the first time, I’m getting entertained and I’m getting a surprise. I didn’t see Eclipse until everyone else did, at the premiere.

One of the things that stands out about these films is the very real relationship between Bella and her father. Do you have a favorite scene between the two of you?

Billy: I remember working on the kitchen scene, where Charlie inadvertently tries to talk to her about sex and protection. That was actually quite fun. We had a good time with that.

Do you think that Charlie is more Team Jacob than Team Edward, when it comes to Bella, or do you think his feelings toward Edward are gradually changing, over the course of the films?

Billy: First of all, Charlie would never play that game. He would never play the team game, nor would I. I have no interest in that. But, he’s obviously got a bent towards Jacob. Jacob is the son of his best friend and he looks at him as a good kid who’s a clean, strong influence. He still doesn’t know that much about Edward, but obviously there’s something weird about him. Charlie would always bend towards Jacob.

Entertainment Weekly Interview with Melissa Rosenberg

In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg talks about the difference in writing the “Eclipse” script from the other two, working with Stephenie Meyer, and working with David Slade.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How did writing Eclipse compare to the last two books?

MELISSA ROSENBERG: For me, Eclipse was my favorite book of the first three, for sure. The triangle comes to a head and that creates some really tense conflict, which is always good when you’re trying to write scenes. This is the third act of the story because Breaking Dawn goes off into completely new territory. That, and the huge battle we build to throughout the movie, was compelling. What was funny was Eclipse ended up being the hardest to write. That big battle happens in the third act, so it was all about pulling some of the conflict and danger forward to lace throughout the story. It became quite the challenge. But in the end, it was quite fun because I got to fill out some of the mythology, such as the character of Riley, the newborn army, Victoria, and everything that was going on that you can’t do in the book because it’s from Bella’s point-of-view.

Was there conferencing with Stephenie for those scenes?

Oh yeah.

MTV Interview with Bryce Dallas Howard

In a recent interview with MTV, Bryce Dallas Howard talks about the pressure of playing Victoria in “Eclipse” and compares the “passionate” Twilight fans to the Spider-Man fans.

“People, myself included, have stayed up at night reading the ['Twilight'] books over and over and over again, and watching the films over and over and over again, and really loving it so, so intensely. Whereas ‘Spider-Man,’ people are sentimental about it, they love it and are into it and that kind of stuff,” she said about the different types of fans. “['Twilight'] is passionate.”

The Rise and Fall of the “Twilight” Empire

from tor.com:

Last night was the release of Eclipse, the third movie in the Twilight franchise. Theaters were packed; Team Edward/Jacob loyalties ran high; anticipatory squeals filled the air.

The movie that unfolded wasn’t worth any of it.

This has gone beyond cinematic “worth” in the context of inscrutable teen tastes, or a shift in the zeitgeist, or any of the other trends that set their intended audience alight while mystifying everyone outside their demographic. This is about a two-hour movie that has to pull its bookend voiceover into the film to explain plot points it never shows, as the camera pans over a lengthy establishing shot of a forest.

I love the interview with Billy Burke and his assessment of Charlie’s affinity for Jacob over Edward.   He does an amazing job of playing Charlie in the movies and I’m looking forward to his new show on TNT with Angie Harmon.

Anna Kendrick’s tweet was just too funny not to share.  It’s nice to know that there are stars who get just as psyched over that stuff as we do!

What did you think of Melissa Rosenberg’s interview?  If you’ve already seen “Eclipse”, would you agree that having Stephenie more involved in the scriptwriting process this time made for a better film?  Her absence is so obvious in the first film IMHO.

What do you think of the tor.com review of “Eclipse”?  It’s a given that there will be haters out there who will have nothing nice to say whatsoever.  I will agree with them on a few points – there is a disconnect in cohesiveness when you compare “Eclipse” to “Twilight” and it has always bothered me that Jasper did not speak with his Texas drawl until after the first film.  I have always said that Catherine Hardwicke and Melissa Rosenberg overlooked a great deal of plot and character development within the first film and I think that has had an impact on the second and third films.  However, Summit knows that their target audience is fans of the book and they are obviously catering to us and hoping to draw in additional fans and potential readers of the books.  I honestly don’t think that they are all that worried about the bad reviews when they are shattering box office records left and right.

What do you think of today’s Twilight news?  Join us in the forum to share your thoughts.

The third time’s a charm for The Twilight Saga – they absolutely nailed it with this installment!! This is, by far, the best one yet! I want Summit to go back and redo “Twilight” with either David Slade or Chris Weitz at the helm to bring it up to par with the last two films.

When David Slade was named as director for this film, I was among the faithful fans who feared that this would be another “30 Days of Night” filled with gore. Fear not, he found a beautiful balance between the romance and the vampire threat. He was absolutely an amazing choice to direct this film.

I’ll go through key elements and try to refrain from too many spoilers, but I can’t guarantee that I won’t throw one or two in here. Consider yourself warned!

Dialogue/Script:

One of my biggest complaints about the first film is the lack of meaningful dialogue. The script for “Eclipse” is infinitely better. There is more dialogue and less awkward moments among the characters. Moviegoers who have not read the books will not be left wondering WTF during a scene. There is some great witty banter between the characters and some good snarky lines from all of them.

The script keeps things true to the book with some minor deviations for theatrical effect and to condense things for the time constraint. The scenes and dialogue that veer from the books do not take anything away from canon, nor are they out of character like the infamous spider monkey line from the first film.

It is evident that a great amount of attention was given to plot development and character development by both the actors and the director. Not only did they focus on what the characters should be doing, but the why aspect of it as well.

Acting

Once again, I noticed that the acting has gotten better. As with “New Moon”, I think that the director deserves a lot of credit for the improvements.

Rob as Edward – Rob seems to be much more relaxed and comfortable with Edward now – much more so than in the first movie. I honestly think that a lot of the bad rap that he got from the first film had to do with Catherine Hardwicke’s interpretation of how he should have looked/felt and it was just off IMHO. Edward is much more relaxed around Bella .

Kristen as Bella – Like with Rob, Kristen is really coming into her own as Bella. Having had more time to study the books and talk to Stephenie about what’s going on with Bella, she brings a more realistic portrayal to the screen.

Taylor as Jacob - He was fantastic in “New Moon” and delivered a great performance again in “Eclipse”. There were many times that the emotions were so very raw and palpable that this Team Edward fan really felt his heartache.

Billy Burke as Charlie- I have loved Billy Burke as Charlie since the first film when he cocked that shotgun before meeting Edward. He has some amazing moments in this installment in dealing with his daughter growing up and graduating – some might bring a tear to your eye while others will make you laugh (particularly the sex talk with Bella).

Jackson as Jasper – Seeing Jackson play out Jasper’s story was awesome and he actually spoke with a drawl this time, which is something that was overlooked in the first film. I loved seeing him channel Major Jasper Whitlock during the fight training scenes!

Bryce as Victoria – Bless her heart, I don’t want to criticize her for having the role after Summit let Rachelle go, but I missed Rachelle. She was able to carry some scenes, but the final battle with Edward just didn’t do it for me. I can’t really put my finger on exactly what didn’t work for me – maybe it was the voice or a certain look. She wasn’t bad, but she wasn’t Rachelle.

Xavier as Riley – I thought that he did a great job as Victoria’s lackey. His longest scene is his opening scene, and it’s a good one.

Nikki as Rosalie – We finally get to hear more than two or three sentences from Rosalie’s character this time and Nikki does a good job of telling Rosalie’s story to Bella. She balances the wistful longing for a child and the picture-perfect marriage and watching grandchildren play with telling Bella that she’s choosing wrong.

Gil Birmingham as Billy – I thought that Gil was a bit cheesy in the first film, particularly in the first few scenes with the “I’m down with the kids” and the “Just keepin’ it real, son” comments. This time, he commands the respect as the leader of the Quileute tribe with the telling of the legends at the bonfire and his worry over Jacob after the newborn battle. This is the Billy Black that we should have seen in the first film.

The Wolves – Julia Jones does an amazing job as Leah Clearwater. She’s got the anger down to a tee. Well done! Boo Boo Stewart is adorable as Seth. I’m looking forward to seeing him in the next two films because I’m a huge fan of Seth Clearwater!

The Cullens – We get to see more of all of the Cullens this time around but still in small bites (no pun intended). Kellan as Emmett is great – especially in the fight training scenes and when he teases Bella as Carlisle is tending to her hurt hand. Elizabeth Reaser has a bit more dialogue this time around as Esme. I hate that she just fades into the background so much. I’d love to see more of Esme and I hope that they work to make that happen in “Breaking Dawn”. Ashley does a great job with Alice once again, having several visions throughout the film.  As always, Peter Facinelli does a great job playing Dr. Cullen and I loved seeing Carlisle in the fight scenes.

The Volturi – Dakota Fanning does a great job once again as the demented Jane. There’s not a whole lot of Volturi action in the film, but Jane is at the forefront of those scenes.

The Humans – Anna Kendrick is really the only one who has much to do or say this time around as the class valedictorian at graduation. She is consistent with her previous portrayals of Jessica. She doesn’t really have a shining moment like she did in “New Moon” with her rant outside the movie theater, though.

Miscellaneous

The cinematography is amazing!!! David Slade’s creative side certainly shines in the images that fans are treated to on the screen. The shots of the mountains are absolutely breathtaking! He uses lots of close-ups on the actors. I thought that it would be weird, but I found that it really helped deliver the emotion so much better. I actually liked it.

The scenes in the meadow are absolutely stunning! This is how the meadow should have looked in the first film. We’ve all seen stills and they just do not do what shows up in the film justice.

Will guys like it? I honestly believe that they will. The fight scenes were well-done and not cheesy.  The action is quick and at times it’s difficult to tell which vampire is which.  Some people will complain about it, but they’re vampires and everything should be a blur to human eyes watching it go down.  There were a few slightly gory elements when the newborns and Victoria are slaughtered that will appeal to them. Seeing the out-of-control newborns wreak havoc on Seattle was pretty cool.

My favorite moments

• The proposal (*swoon*)
• The scene that follows Bella punching Jacob
• The tent scene
• Charlie and Bella’s sex talk (LMAO!)
• The scene where Riley steals Bella’s shirt (You will understand when you see it! This has David Slade’s touch all over it! )

I don’t think that there’s anything that I didn’t like, although I’m still on the high from the midnight showing and all of the energy in that theater. The only thing that stood out and bugged me were the mountains in the background during Jasper’s story of being changed near Galveston. Sorry, but there are no mountains near Galveston, Texas!  Maybe after a few more viewings, there might be something that really annoys me. As I left the theater to go home, all I could hear around me was “This is the best one!”, “It was so awesome!” and other things along that same sentiment.

As I drove home last night, I was already thinking of how I can’t wait for the DVD to be released so that I could see what didn’t make it into the film.
