Kellan Lutz Interview In Scene Magazine! PLUS First Stills From ‘The Killing Game’ & ‘Love, Wedding, Marriage’

www.breakingdawnmovie.org: We previosly reported Kellan Lutz (aka Emmett Cullen) on the cover of Louisiana’s Scene magazine.   Here’s the interview with Kellan in Scene PLUS new stills of Kellan in The Killing Game and Love, Wedding, Marriage!

The success of Twilight rocketed its cast into the stratosphere, making Kellan and company household names overnight. But while the character of Emmett has given Kellan great exposure, he hasn’t been identified with the role in the same way that Christopher Reeve, while a talented actor, was forever Superman. The result is a great deal of freedom. “It’s been such an amazing process. I fell into acting and I found a passion for it and it’s really like a hobby to me. I have a great agent, we’ve been best friends, and we have the same dream: to not care about the money and to not care about the fame. We can be cool and collected and really plan my career.

Jackson Rathbone Talks Renesmee…Sort Of

gossip-dance.blogspot.com: “Talking with Jackson about the upcoming two-part film The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, which is currently shooting in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, he mentioned he still had “a bit” of filming left for his role as Jasper Hale. Besides that, he remained tight-lipped about the project. When asked whether his character and Renesmee (daughter of Bella and Edward) may have any interaction not included in the novel, Jackson cryptically joked, “Shhh…. it’s rabbit season!”

Another film franchise Jackson is a part of with a large, yet wildly different, following is The Last Airbender based on the popular Nickelodeon cartoon. No word has been released whether the sequel film (or, Book Two, to Air Bender fans) has been greenlit, though Rathbone remains optimistic.

‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’ star Jodelle Ferland in Behind Sapphire music video

www.examiner.com: Last night, the official music video for (a Vancouver-based band called) Behind Sapphire’s “Oh My, What a Fine Day” was revealed, and guess who’s the star of it? Jodelle Ferland (“Bree Tanner” in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse)!

According to The Vancouver Sun, the band’s guitarist, Matthew Mazankowski, recounted Jodelle Ferland’s involvement as follows:

“Jodelle has been a longtime friend or ours . . . Her brother Jeremy recorded violin on the album. She’s a big fan of the band too. Grant [Cassell, vocals] and the guys at Amazing Factory came up with the video concept and we thought we’d ask Jodelle and she loved the idea. It worked so perfectly for us.”

Emma Watson To Star Opposite Taylor Lautner

www.entertainmentwise.com: With filming for the Twilight Saga wrapping up, Taylor Lautner is looking to projects outside the franchise that has made him a household name.

Reports suggest that the gorgeous teen could be set to star opposite Harry Potter beauty, Emma Watson is an adaptation of Catherine Fisher’s novel, Incaceron.

According to Marie Claire, Emma is in talks to play Taylor’s love interest in the movie and we think the two would make a very handsome on screen couple.

Wow, they are finally here. Soon more Breaking Dawn still will start showing up. Especially since some of the cast has tweeted about the photos they’ve taken the past days. And we’ve seen those paparazzi ones, where everyone looked amazing with their new makeup and wardrobe, even the extras. What fan wouldn’t want to part of the wardrobe or makeup team just to see them first? 😉 Who I really want to see now is little Nessie aka Mackenzie. What did you think of this (real and not fake) first official still of the happy couple?

What do you think of the meet Stephenie Meyer contest? What would you ask her if you had the chance? I sure would have a lot of questions, but i would ask her something about Alice’s past or Jacob and Nessie 😀

I really liked Behind Sapphire’s music video, it has some beautiful landscapes, and Jodelle looks so beautiful, song is also good. What did you think of the video?
