Stephenie Meyer still among highest-paid authors

usatoday.com: So, can an author make as much as a hip-hop mogul?

Just days ago, Forbes put out its list of Hip-Hop “Cash Kings.” Now it has just come up with a new list: The 10 Highest-Paid Authors.

No. 2: But you could say Twilight author Stephenie Meyer is smarter. She came in at second place this year, even though she didn’t release a new title in 2009. She still earned $40 million. About $7 million of that came from movies adapted from the Twilight series, says Forbes.

ECLIPSE Director David Slade Likely to Helm WOLVERINE 2

www.collider.com: It looks like one of two directors is going to be taking Wolverine to Japan.  Vulture reports that the contenders to helm Wolverine 2 are David Slade (Hard Candy, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse) and Robert Schwentke (The Time Traveler’s Wife, the upcoming Bruce Willis action flick Red).  While both men have been approved by 20th Century Fox brass, the decision comes down to Hugh Jackman, and Vulture says he’s going to choose Slade.

Breaking Dawn, Motorcycles, Alternate Endings & Spoilers…

photo/twilightseriestheories.com

twilightseriestheories.com: This week we are bringing you some good stuff about Breaking Dawn!  We did discuss the upcoming movie at length, so there is more to come next week too!  We talked in this segment about how the series was going to only be three books!  It would have ended with Eclipse, and Stephenie even has an alternate ending!  There was also some talk about ‘Book-Characters’ vs. ‘Movie-Characters’, and all the spoilers that come with movie previews!

Matt: Okay, so Stephenie we were talking a little bit about how…like how in the tent scene Jacob the first initial scene he wasn’t even touching her because you know sometimes they have to censor it. What is your viewpoint…What is your opinion about how they censor some of the stuff to film from your books? Like some from the past books. Some from the present. Or the future books.

SM: Right. Right. Some of the future. I really want my kids to be able to watch these. Eclipse is a little bit for them…I mean, not that it’s like graphic in any way but just you know, when I read the kids Eclipse I did the chapter when the younger ones were asleep. And it was kind of a thing for me and my son like: “Do you understand what this is about? Let’s talk about it. Let’s have this conversation.” I think my younger ones are a little too young for you know: “What are they talking about, mommy?” And I’m like: “Okay, well when a man and a woman love each other very much…” And I just don’t really wanna go there yet till they’re ready for it! Um, and so I mean, there…I do want them to be something that…You know the fans who are nine? They’re gonna go see them anyway. And I don’t want to have their parents pissed at me you know? I’m okay with them because that’s what our imaginations are for. That’s what, you know,…we have our version of the scenes and if they did them exactly that way? Yeah, okay the rating would be prohibitive. And uh, not everybody could go and see it. And I think that we’ll…In the next one that we’ll have some nice steamy stuff. I think it’ll be good, but I think it’ll also be something that thirteen-year-olds can get into. Which is being true to your audience.

Elysa: There’s also the gory things to consider too, though.

(chatter)

SM: There are the gory things. And the birth scene’s gonna be tricky you know? Particularly because directors love that kind of stuff: “Alright!” We were just talking about like: “We gotta have this and that!” I dunno. It’s so funny how people are so freaked out by the birth scene.

Vampires don’t suck as ‘Eclipse’ passes ‘New Moon’

www.hollywood.com: Even though “Vampires Suck” got knocked down to third after a first place Wednesday debut, all is not lost in the romantic world of bloodsuckers and werewolves as Summit Entertainment’s “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” on Thursday surpassed the $296,623,634 domestic box office total of “New Moon.” On Thursday in 1,212 theatres, the third installment of the mega-blockbuster franchise earned $190,143 and that was enough to bring its total to $296,649,934 and take the domestic gross crown away from its worthy predecessor.  See full story at Twilight about to eclipse “New Moon!’

OK, it would be so hilarious to see Nikki in True Blood. Now that she knows Deborah, those two would drive Bill crazy, but she did mention that she would like to be a werewolf… What do you think of the crossover idea? What would be a good character for Nikki?

I loved Stephenie’s new fan junket interview. I think this was a really great idea from her because we really get to know more about the books and her thoughts about the movie and characters that what we usually already know. If she does have an alternate ending it would be so great to read it, maybe one day she’ll be good with the fans and give us a sneak pick 😉 I’m still curious about that twilight saga guide, there are so many characters I would like to know more about. I’m not even going to into Midnight Sun. What did you think of the new audio interview? Anything that caught your attention?

This is totally out of theme, but I would really like to see a new Wolverine movie, the plot sounds really great and David has had his share of comics so it could work out. 30 Days of Night is a great movie and he did a great job with Eclipse 🙂

What do you think of Robert and Kristen being on the McAfee list?
