TWILIGHT SAGA NEWS FOR FEBRUARY 19TH

“THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE” TRAILER TO HIT THEATERS ON MARCH 12

Summit Entertainment tweeted yesterday on the official “Twilight” Twitter account that the first trailer for “Eclipse” will hit theaters on March 12. The trailer will be shown prior to the studio’s much-anticipated “Remember Me” featuring Robert Pattinson.

KRISTEN STEWART ADDRESSES “BREAKING DAWN” 3-D RUMORS AND SAYS THAT THE BOOK WARRANTS TWO FILMS

MTV.com recently featured two articles about Kristen Stewart’s thoughts on the much-buzzed-about filming of “Breaking Dawn” and the rumors of the film being done in 3-D.  Kristen told MTV that she didn’t feel that the entire film warranted 3-D and that certain scenes, like the bloody birth of Renesmee, shouldn’t be shot in 3-D.

“No, I don’t think that should be [in 3-D],” she laughed, admitting that the birth scene was among the moments she was suggesting should be “selectively” shot in normal 2-D. “Also, you don’t want Renesmee to be scary. You don’t want her to fly into your face.”

She also told MTV that she felt that “Breaking Dawn” warrants two films and that she is willing to do two more installments as Bella Swan. She brought up the key point that so many Twi-Hards have argued in favor of two films in that so much of the book’s content would have to be cut to do one film, losing much of the story.

“It would be a six-month shoot [if we made two movies back-to-back], compared to a three-month shoot,” Kristen explained, indicating that she has discussed the options with those involved. “It would be much more satisfying to do [two films], because we wouldn’t have to drop so much of the story; it wouldn’t be like, ‘Well, we didn’t get to do this scene, this scene or this scene.’ You’d get less of that — which would be good.”

RACHELLE LAFEVRE JOINS MEDICAL DRAMA

“Twilight” alumna Rachelle Lefevre will play a lead role in “ER” creator John Wells’ new medical drama for CBS.

The untitled project centers on a mobile medical team that travels the U.S. helping those in need get through life-or-death medical crises. Lefevre will play a confident young doctor more comfortable in the field than in the office.

Today, Stewart and Redmayne teamed up for a series of press interviews to promote the film, and several video interviews were done.

GREAT SPOOF!  KRISTEN STEWART TO PLAY MILEY CYRUS IN BIOPIC ABOUT TAYLOR SWIFT

I had to throw this one in from thespoof.com because I just couldn’t resist. Just the mental image of Kristen Stewart dressed like Miley Cyrus is enough to make me giggle.  To envision her behaving like her is enough to make me double over in a fit of laughter.

Hollywood actress and Twilight Star Kristen Stewart will play Hannah Montana actress Miley Cyrus in an upcoming biopic of recent Grammy winning country singer Taylor Swift. This information was according to Cheryl Cole, who said that she received the information from friend and co-worker on The X-Factor Simon Cowell (who Cole says is also producing the movie).

Paris Hilton, who has seen the working copy of the script, says that there is no part of Miley Cyrus in the movie. She further states that Britney Spears will play the part of Taylor Swift and that Spears will have a radical masectomy in order to prepare for the part. Hilton also confirmed that Madonna will play the role of Swift’s mother and that Chelsea Clinton, daughter of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton, will play a horse in the movie.

Does anyone else have the feeling that Summit knows exactly what they want to do with “Breaking Dawn”, but are just holding back on the announcement for an opportune press moment?

Do you plan to see “Remember Me”?  Does the “Eclipse” trailer tie-in to the movie’s release impact your decision to see it at all? I was already planning to go see it and the fact that the trailer is showing before it (which I predicted months ago, BTW) just makes it even better!!

I like that Kristen and Taylor will get to present at the Oscars.  They are both very talented and I hope that this opportunity leads them to great new projects. I’m also glad to see that “The Yellow Handkerchief” landed a distributor.  It looks interesting from what I’ve read and seen so far.

I couldn’t resist the inclusion of the spoof.  It’s been a long week and I totally laughed out loud at the thought of Kristen Stewart playing Miley Cyrus.  The comments about Britney Spears needing boob reduction to portray Taylor Swift were pretty funny as well.
