Top 12 Film Industry Stories of 2009:#2: New Moon Eclipses Box Office

Once in awhile, a box office story occurs that almost exists outside of its individual achievement. The Twilight Saga: New Moon is such a situation in that its box office behavior not only exemplifies a franchise on the rise but also simultaneously encapsulates a decade worth of box office trending with one event.

I speak of course of the opening weekend of New Moon. There are twin aspects to this discussion. The first is an individual examination of the success of the Twilight sequel. The second requires a bit of box office history. Let’s discuss this portion before talking about the Summit Entertainment side of the story. More here.

Exclusive Interview: Kirsten Prout is Lucy in THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE

Nineteen-year-old Canadian born actress Kirsten Prout has been making a name for herself in film and television, since getting bitten by the acting but at the very young age of two. After her feature film debut in 2005 as Abby, sidekick to Jennifer Garner’s character in the superhero flick Elektra, she went on to play Amanda, the girl-next-door love interest for Kyle on the ABC Family drama Kyle XY.
This June, Kirsten Prout will be in her most visible project to date, as vampire Lucy in the highly anticipated The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. In the third installment of the popular film franchise, her character is seen in flashbacks that give insight into the backstory of Jasper (Jackson Rathbone) and how he was created.

In this exclusive interview, the rising star talked to IESB about the experience of playing her darkest role yet, in such a high-profile film. More here.

I am so excited to begin watching ‘The Deep End’. I absolutely love Rachelle and I don’t think I saw enough of her in ‘Twilight’ so I would love to see her stretch her acting legs some more for us! Do you plan on watching the premiere episode on January 21st?

The buzz for Anna Kendrick is really great. She definitely has a bright future and I can’t wait for her next projects!

Do you have the iPhone Transformer app? What do you think of it?

I am pleased to see another fresh face for ‘Eclipse’. Kirsten Prout seems to have a good head on her shoulders and is pretty modest about her career thus far. I can’t wait to see her performance!

Rachelle Levefre
 
Movie name: Do you know me 2009 (Caro’s Pick)

Review: Ellie Carter is recently graduated and has it all. While celebrating with friend and boyfriend, she comes across a milk carton with a picture of a missing child that looks a lot like her. As a prank, they call the toll free number and she realizes that this person could be her. The more she finds out, the closer she gets to getting herself and beloved ones killed. This movie had intense scenes, different from seeing her as Victoria, but a good movie.

Movie Name: Untraceable 2008 (Dawn’s Pick)

Review: Billy Burke plays Detective Eric Box. It’s a race against the clock as they try to figure out the identity of the man who is torturing/killing people and putting it on the internet. Although it’s graphic and sickening at times, it’s an interesting movie and definitely worth seeing.

Movie Name: Fracture 2007

Review: Fracture is one of my all time favorites. Billy Burke is perfect as Lt. Robert ‘Rob’ Nunally, the man having an affair with Ted Crawford’s wife. Detective Nunally is called to the scene of a crime, where he finds his lover shot by her husband. Despite confessing, Ted Crawford wiggles his way out of it. Sadly Nunally dies at the end, but his character plays a pivotal part in in the movie.

Jaime Campbell Bower

Movie Name: Sweeny Todd 2007 (Erin’s Pick)

Review: You’re probably not the least but interested in this if you don’t like blood, but just to be safe: this is a bloody movie. But it’s a well done adaptation from the stage, and actors you didn’t know could sing do an amazing job. Jamie Campbell Bower actually has an amazing voice, and you worry about his Anthony getting involved with Sweeney from the get go. With Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, you know it’ll be well acted. Funny and incredibly morbid blend well together; just don’t see it if you’re going to be eating soon.

Jackson Rathbone

TV Show: Criminal Minds 2009 (Chris’s pick)

Review: Jackson gave an amazing performance in this drama tv series. He was the killer in this episode, but with a multiple personailty disorder, his ‘normal’ side, was a scared young guy that could be very innocent, his counterpart was a female with a nasty lust for vengence. He/She takes on young good looking men, that are the typical jerks. Jackson really protrayed the tormented character to a ‘T’, felt so real, and made me see that this young man is a fantastic actor.

This is part one of three for Must-See List ‘New Moon Actor Edition’, so don’t miss out on the next one!

What do you think about these movies and TV shows? Have you seen them, are they must-see, and do you have any suggestions for this special edition of Must-See list?

from blog.zap2it.com:

After being abruptly replaced in the cast of “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” Rachelle Lefevre says fan support has kept her spirits up.

Lefevre was replaced with Bryce Dallas Howard for “Eclipse,” supposedly over scheduling conflicts. (The actress accepted a role on the independent film “Barney’s Version,” but has claimed she would have been able to shoot both movies.) Afterward, Lefevre tells Extra, fans leapt to her defense.

“I’m on Twitter and I remember opening up my Twitter… somehow in 140 characters my fans managed to write me things that were so unbelievable,” the actress says. “[O]n YouTube… a bunch of fans from all over the world made me a tribute video. This girl from Australia collected stuff from all over the world. I mean they’ve just been incredible. I wrote on Twitter: ‘If I could travel the world and hug you all personally, I would’ — because they really carried me through.”

Though the character of Victoria is more prominent in “Eclipse” and barely figures in the book version of “New Moon,” Lefevre says screenplay writer Melissa Rosenberg beefed up the role for the second “Twilight” movie.

“They wrote a lot of fun stuff for me from ‘Twilight’ to ‘New Moon,’” she says. “In the book, Victoria is not that present and they really did their best. Melissa Rosenberg, our screenwriter, told me that she loved writing Victoria and there was great room for that. So she wrote a lot of stuff for me. I really hope it makes it into the film. You never know, because I haven’t seen it.”

“New Moon” opens Nov. 20.

Before twilight I had seen Rachelle in ‘Big Wolf on Campus’, so I was already a fan of her. And I was really sad when she got replaced It’s good that she is getting support from all of her fans after all that happend! I can’t wait to see her in new moon and her other proyects! Rachelle you rock as Victoria!

Are you a fan of Rachelle? Do you still support Rachelle? Did you watch the tribute video? What do you think of the new scenes Melissa Rosenberg wrote for Victoria?

At the beginning of August I got a message from Emz&Shez – they wanted to do a tribute-video for Rachelle Lefèvre.

Just a couple of days after Summit’s official confirmation to replace Rachelle Lefèvre by Bryce Dallas Howard in the 3rd ‘Twilight’-installation ‘Eclipse’ – reason: schedule-differences.
I don’t want to judge here about whos fault it is. But in the end Rachelle is not a part of ‘Eclipse’ cast. Something I’m really sad about, because I loved her playing the bad and evil vampire Victoria.
That’s why I decided to do a pic for Rachelle to show her my support and that I love her and her work.

Two days ago I got another eMail from Emz&Shez – the video is finished!
