KRISTEN STEWART HOPES “ECLIPSE” PROPOSAL SCENE TURNED OUT WELL

Kristen Stewart recently shared her thoughts on the proposal scene from “Eclipse” with MTV.com, telling them that she hopes that it turned out well.    I have to admit that this is the scene that I am most anxious to see in the movie.  The next two being the tent scene and the newborn battle.  Here are Kristen’s comments to MTV.com:

“Well, to decide you’re gonna marry someone at 18 is a pretty hefty decision,” she told MTV News from the red carpet of the premiere of her new movie, “The Yellow Handkerchief.” “And I didn’t want to look stupid. I didn’t want it to look like kids getting married. You know what I mean?”

Stewart said she had to find an emotional space that allowed her to make a teenage engagement seem plausible. “I wanted to be, like, ‘Oh! Wow! I would say yes too!’ You know what I mean? So I don’t know how you do that. You try to do it for real, and it felt good. I hope it turned out alright.”

“BREAKING DAWN” MAY STILL BE ONE FILM

Only a few days after Deadline Hollywood reported that it was a done deal and Summit Entertainment would be filming The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn in two parts comes word that none of the main actors (Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner) have signed on to a fifth film, and the studio is not yet ready to make a decision on whether or not they’ll be splitting up the final installment in the Twilight franchise.

One of the reasons why the studio isn’t ready is because they still haven’t made deals with Stewart, Pattinson and Lautner, according to The Hollywood Reporter. And since a fifth film wasn’t part of their original contracts – not to mention that they’re all certifiable movie stars now – in order to secure the trio, Summit will most likely have to dish out a pretty penny (I’d say upwards of $15-20 million for all three).

NSFW OR FOR KIDS – OUTTAKES FROM ROBERT PATTINSON’S DETAILS MAGAZINE PHOTO SHOOT

Once again, we issue a caution for the pictures.  They aren’t for the faint of heart, workplace, or the underage.  Details Magazine just posted some of the outtakes from the uber-racy Robert Pattinson photo shoot on their website. I must admit that I am particularly fond of the second one in the set.  The intense look in his eyes is amazing!

Click here to check them out.

I am so looking forward to seeing the “Eclipse” trailer on March 12th.  I am hoping for a glimpse of the proposal scene in there.  I’m sure that we’ll see some fight scenes, but I really want to see some of the “chick moments” to get a feel for how things might look in the final product.  I have to admit that I’m afraid of it being too dark or to action-oriented.

Ugh!  I’m so tired of the speculation on “Breaking Dawn”.  I wish that they would just hurry up and  decide on something.  They know that the actors are willing to do two films and an overwhelming majority of the fans are up for it, so why not go for it and get the ball rolling!

FANS FLOCK TO BURLINGAME CONVENTION

from insidebayarea.com:
“Twilight” is kind of a big deal, in case you hadn’t noticed — particularly to teen girls and young women.

Take Paige Wraa-Noveli, who at 6 months old had to undergo a split liver transplant, the first ever performed at UCLA Medical Center, her mom said.

“She wasn’t supposed to make it to a year,” said Deborah Noveli, Paige’s mother. “Then she wasn’t supposed to make it 2 years, then 5.”

When Paige turned 18 on Tuesday, she knew exactly what she wanted for her birthday: tickets to this weekend’s “Twilight” convention, which runs through Sunday at the Hyatt Regency in Burlingame.

Hundreds of devoted girls and women — or “Twi-hards,” as some attendees called themselves — turned out Friday for the convention’s first day, excited to meet cast members, buy special merchandise, get inside scoops on the books and films and spend the day with fellow fans.

WHY “TWILIGHT” FANS MIGHT ENJOY WHAT “THE WOLFMAN” HAS TO OFFER

from mtv.com:
Universal Pictures’ revival of “The Wolfman” was unleashed into theaters everywhere today, and while the Benicio Del Toro-starring film is geared towards horror fans and monster movie enthusiasts, it might appeal to another unexpected crowd… “Twilight” fans.

Now, I’m not suggesting that “The Wolfman” is a teenage romance, nor is it necessarily appropriate for the younger viewers that flocked to “New Moon” in droves. What I am saying, however, is that there are certain aspects about the new thriller that could tickle the fancy of Team Jacob members everywhere.

For starters, this is a movie about werewolves. There are some important differences between the werewolves in “The Wolfman” and the shape-shifting creatures of “The Twilight Saga,” such as the former’s tendency to brutally eviscerate their victims and the latter’s knack for looking really, really good without a shirt. But if part of your “Twilight” craving stems from your interest in werewolves, this is the flick for you.

10 STORIES YOU MAY HAVE MISSED: RUMORS CONTINUE TO FLY SURROUNDING “BREAKING DAWN”

from hitfix.com:
Every diligent in tapping all possible scenarios around the popular “Twilight Saga” franchise, a number of media outlets made unsubstantiated reports about the potential fourth and fifth installments of the series, “Breaking Dawn” this week.

Deadline.com created a significant amount of buzz reporting the old news that Summit Entertainment was considering breaking Stephanie Meyer’s fourth novel into two films. The report also noted the studio would be looking for “high end” directors (really? like they hadn’t tried and accomplished that before with Chris Weitz and David Slade?). This prompted Summit Entertainment to issue the following statement:

“No decision has been made and as we have said all along we are continuing to work with Stephenie Meyer to bring Breaking Dawn to the big screen.”

“BREAKING DAWN” TO BE TWO FILMS

Let the Hallelujah chorus begin!  It looks like the suits at Summit Entertainment have finally made some decisions on how and when to shoot “Breaking Dawn”.  Deadline.com reported the following earlier today:

Filming on the back-to-back movies would begin in mid-October, and Summit Entertainment is looking at “high-end” directors. Breaking Dawn is the longest in Stephenie Meyer’s 4-book series lengthwise and it’s the most graphic — presenting birth, attempted murder, death, and of course vampire bites.

I find the comment of “high-end” directors very interesting.  For some reason, names like James Cameron and Peter Jackson instantly come to mind.  While there is no official press release from Summit as of yet, it’s nice to hear that something is moving along.  Those actors can’t stay young forever, after all!

What do you think about this news?

Are you a fan of the two-film format or would you prefer only one epic-length film?

Who are your guesses for director?

Join us in the forum and share your thoughts.  We would love to hear from you!

As we reported this weekend, the rumors regarding production of Stephenie Meyer’s fourth book in the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn, are exaggerated. The largest online Twilight news resource, Twilight Lexicon, took the time today to run down a few of those rumors and put them to bed.

There are a ton of rumors swirling around the making of Breaking Dawn, so we thought we’d run them down for you.

The Breaking Dawn tab on the Summit Official world of Twilight website would seem to indicate that the studio has acquired the rights to the film, (otherwise huge oops for listing something you don’t have the rights to). It could be at any stage of development.

Other actors connected to the project supposedly stating that Breaking Dawn would start filming in February in Vancouver, two words: Winter Olympics. Those remarks remain rumor. If any movie manages to film in Vancouver while the city plays host to the Olympics this winter than hats off to them. It would be a logistical nightmare based on the traffic of the incoming visitors, not to mention that local production equipment/people get hired by the out-of-town media from every country in the world that is about to descend.

It is nice to get some clear cut answers to these rumors. I know it is just speculation until stories are confirmed, I just wish everyone else would understand that.
Are you disappointed these rumors are untrue? Will you be upset if they option the book, but shoot it as one film? Two films? Three?

After an exhaustingly long flight from Hawaii, and a long day signing autographs, taking pictures, and speaking at the question and answer panel at TwiCon 2009, The Twilight Saga: New Moon and Nurse Jackie star Peter Facinelli was so kind as to speak about The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, whose rehearsals begin tomorrow, he says.

AB: Rehearsals start in about a week, is that right?

PF: Tuesday.

AB: And are you looking forward to it?

PF: Oh yeah, I re-read Eclipse on my Hawaiian vacation, and then I read the script right after.

AB: How is it?

PF: It’s great. You know, it’s hard to cram a whole book into a movie and some of the details get lost in areas and in some areas they get heightened. The story’s the same, and I’m happy with it.

AB: What was your favorite part of Eclipse?

PF: I actually like that, in the book, a lot of the  family  members are talked about, and in the movie they’re in it a lot more. The books are all told from Bella’s perspective, so a lot of times, when she’s not in the scene and things are happening, you don’t actually get to see them, like the battle scene, for instance. In Eclipse when the whole family and the werewolves are fighting the newborn vampires, it’s talked about and through Edward you kind of get something, but in the movie you actually get to see it, you know, so I like that in the interpretations of the movies, it’s not always about Bella’s perspective. She isn’t always in the scene, and so that opens up the story a little bit. The Cullens are in it a lot more throughout.

(thanks emily)

I am surprised that they’ve heard nothing about Breaking Dawn. I’m sure they will know more soon.

What do you think of what Peter had to say about New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn? Any new info that you didn’t know before?

Chris brings us a new OBS feature called Casting Couch with OBS.

In honor of Breaking Dawn’s One year Anniversary; We at OBS want your opinions on Who should be casted as the key NEW characters in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.

So who do you see playing these interesting new characters:

• Zafrina from The Amazon Coven
• Tanya, Eleazar, and Kate from The Denali Coven
• Peter and Charlotte from The American Nomads
• And lastly what is your thoughts on the big issue of little Nessie? All CGI or Several different children along with CGI

I have already given this some thought and these are my choices, if I could cast these intensely important roles

• Zafrina- Thandie Newton:  She is completely capable of playing this long haired, tall Amazon woman, she is not only goregous but has a wild quality about her.
• Tayna- Evan Rachel Wood: This woman is a phenomenal actress, that embodies the looks of Tanya; strawberry blonde curls, pale, and very beautiful.
• Eleazar- Jim Sturgess: This actor could play the part of a young Vamp in looks but with a very mature/older soul.
• Kate- Amanda Seyfried:  This upcoming star has a unique beauty, and chops to go with it, I would love to see her *shock* our Edward.
• Peter- Milo Ventimiglia:  He has a certain southern innocent quality that reminds me of Peter but can be very quiet.
• Charlotte- Emily Blunt: This amazing actress could play the stunning southern brunette that caught Pete’s eye!
• Renesmee- All CGI

So WE at OBS are dying to know?! Who would YOU, the faithful reader pick, and WE want to know WHY as well! Come on, this could be a lot of fun, get creative, really think like a casting agent!!

We will be taking your opinions till August 13th, so think long, hard and fast!!  I will be gathering all your opinions and presenting an article based on your suggestions right HERE on the News Blog!! So Stay tuned…..
