“ECLIPSE” TRAILER RUMORS ARE FALSE!

There is a rumor circulating on message boards that hit Perez Hilton’s site that a trailer for “Eclipse” will be shown in theaters before “Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief”.  This is just a rumor and has been debunked by GossipCop.com.   There is no word yet on when the trailer will be released.

A NEW JACOB BLACK DOLL

from mtv.com:

The limited edition Jacob action figure, which comes a few (long-awaited!) months after Tonner debuted its Laurent, Victoria, James and “Hungry Edward” dolls during last July’s Comic-Con, will be shapeshifting released this summer. The cost of the 17-inch-tall, hard plastic and vinyl figure will be $149.99 and there are only a limited number (3000 to be exact!) being made, so Twilighters, this is a chance to own a piece of cinematic history!

ROBERT PATTINSON AND KRISTEN STEWART MAKE FORBES “TOP EARNING ON-SCREEN COUPLES” LIST

from examiner.com:

Just a few days ago, The Twilight Saga: New Moon and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were announced as two of Vanity Fair’s “Top Moneymakers,” and, today, Forbes included the two in their list of “Hollywood’s Top-Earning On-Screen Couples.”

Of course, these figures are based upon the successes of the films in which the two appear as a couple (as opposed to Vanity Fair’s consideration of their personal salaries), but here’s what Forbes had to say about the matter.

[T]he multi-movie onslaught of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart may prove the most powerful and profitable of all. With just two of the four expected Twilight films under their belts, their pairing raked in $1.1 billion at the box office. The third installment, Eclipse, hits theaters at the end of June.

JACKSON RATHBONE GETS ANOTHER ACTION FIGURE

from mtv.com:

Nickelodeon Consumer Products debuted the upcoming line of toys based on “The Last Airbender” today, including various waves of 3 3/4-inch action figures, as well as larger, action-enabled figures, costumes and other props based on Shyamalan’s adaptation of the hit anime/manga series.

Among the toys featured in the line were (of course) figures based on the film’s hero, Aang (played by Noah Ringer), the villainous Prince Zuko (played by “Slumdog Millionaire” actor Dev Patel). Toys based on Sokka (played by “Twilight” alum Jackson Rathbone) and Katara (Nicola Peltz) also factored into several waves of figures.

Had you heard the rumor of an “Eclipse” trailer being shown this weekend?  I hadn’t heard it, but I am so ready to see something.  I suspect that Summit will put it in theaters with “Remember Me” since that’s one of their own films and they know that fans will be out in droves to get a Rob fix.

What do you think of the scene from “Remember Me”?  It seems that Rob’s character, Tyler, is the antithesis of Edward Cullen.  I think that it will be great to see him in such a different role.

I have to admit that I am growing annoyed with all of the variations of the “New Moon” DVD with all of the merchants having different extras on the discs.  The seven minute feature on “Eclipse” is awfully tempting!!

I’m going to have to pass on the Jacob Black doll.  I’m too far Team Edward to shell out $150 for it.

Congrats to Jackson – he now has action figures in two different fandoms.
