“The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” – Meet Riley

from Yahoo Movies:

In the story of “Eclipse,” Victoria’s still bent out of shape over the death of her beau James in “Twilight,” which she blames on Bella. All of her previous attempts to exact revenge upon Edward for killing her mate failed. Not easily deterred, Victoria travels to the Seattle area and creates an army of newborn bloodsuckers, hoping that with their aid she’ll finally be able to defeat the Cullens and kill Bella. One of the first humans Victoria turns into a vampire is Riley Biers (the character didn’t have a last name in the book), described as young, handsome, and (after being turned into a vampire) with bright red eyes.

As the more mature newborn, Riley is tasked to retrieve Bella’s scent and later, corral the rest of the newborns to Forks for a showdown against the Cullens/La Push wolf pack alliance. “Audiences can expect a vicious battle,” says Samuel, “And I think audiences can also expect a few surprises. Riley and his newborn army are an unstoppable force.”

But there’s more to this vampire baddie… he’s in love!

Robert Pattinson on “Ellen”

In case you missed seeing Rob on yesterday’s episode of “Ellen”, we’re providing you with the clip from the show.  Rob joked about the reason for his new haircut, saying that he had an “infestation of nits” (head lice for our American fans).  He talked about his inability to think in “real time” and how that makes interviews someone uncomfortable for him.  There was also a game in which a fan from the audience was blindfolded and had to feel up three guys and guess which one was Rob.  While this wasn’t my personal favorite appearance by him on her show, it didn’t disappoint.

Summit Confirms All Cullens Will Reunite for “Breaking Dawn”

In case you missed it yesterday, Summit inked a deal with Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz for “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.”  The two actors were rumored to have been involved in a contract dispute with the studio over their salary.  Long story short…it’s resolved.  Filming is scheduled to begin in October in a rumored location of Louisiana.  Keep checking back for more details.  We will be sure to share them as soon as they become available.

All of these posters and other promotional media coming out are making me so much more anxious to see this movie!  I love the dark theme in the posters – the dark forest with the haze.  I also love the black and grey color scheme for the wardrobes.

What do you think of the Muse video?  Again…so ready to see the movie!  All of those little clips just seem to taunt me!

I loved Rob’s visit to “Ellen”.  I’ve loved all of them, but she’s so good at helping him feel comfortable and she seems to get his sense of humor unlike so many other people in the media.

I’m looking forward to seeing what they have done with Riley in the movie, making him so much more than a vague reference in the books.
