The Twilight Fansite

The official website for Robert Pattinson’s upcoming film Water for Elephants is officially launched!

I don’t know about you, but I am dying to see this movie!

Cam Gigandet, star of Twilight and Burlesque is the face of the brand new skin care line ClickR!

He recently did an interview with Teen Vogue and here are a few of his answers:

What’s it been like being part of Twilight? What about the crazy fans??
When it comes to the fans, it’s just been so exciting! The whole thing was
so surreal, because the fans are so intense and there are so many. At the
premiere we were all kind of in shock because we were so young in our
careers, it was a totally new thing and we couldn’t get over it, and it just
continues. It’s such a phenomenon and we all just love every second of it.

Do you have any particular crazy fan moments?
No! I really don’t, everyone is so kind, especially in the public. People
would come up and politely ask if they could have a photo or something.
Everyone has been so nice!

According to BSC:

It isn’t easy being the love child of Edward and Bella Cullen. Yes, in the final chapters of The Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn, parts one and two, though your favorite characters face more danger than ever before, they also enjoy some more domestic pleasures. Edward and Bella get married, go off on an exotic Honeymoon, and even get pregnant (Poor Jacob Black). As we here at BSC reported when the news was fresh, the beautiful young actress Mackenzie Foy is set to portray the youngest Cullen, Renesmee. There are a lot of factors that make Renesmee unique. She is half vampire and half human. She has a very special paranormal gift. And she ages very rapidly. This all presents many obstacles for filmmakers, but the Breaking Dawn crew may have an ace up their sleeve.

According to her Twitter account, one of the digital masters of James Cameron’s Avatar may come on board to help age Miss Foy. This was her precise Tweet: “Special effects guru Jon Bruno, Avatar, has been recruited to work on the aging process in BD to make Renesmee (Mackenzie Foy) grow rapidly.”

Bruno is no stranger to Hollywood. He served as Visual Effects Supervisor for X-Men: The Last Stand, Batman Returns, and Cameron’s The Abyss.

From MTV:

Production on the two parts of “Breaking Dawn” is expected to stretch well into April, with the cast eventually departing Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to finish up shooting on the final “Twilight Saga” films in Vancouver, Canada. But whereas the makers of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” chose to save that franchise’s final scene until the very end of production, the “Breaking Dawn” cast has already shot the last scene of their finale film — and it apparently was a pretty gloomy experience.

“The other day when we shot that ending sequence, we knew that was the ending of the last two movies and it got a little melancholy,” Peter Facinelli, who plays Dr. Carlisle Cullen, told us on the red carpet at the Golden Globes on Sunday. “It was sad.”

While the 37-year-old actor wouldn’t delve into detail about the scene — “Lots of vampires,” he teased — Robert Pattinson, also walking the Globes carpet, dished about the lengthy climax toward the end of “Breaking Dawn, Part 2.” “There’s like a 27-minute sequence in the final sequence, and it takes forever to shoot,” he revealed. “There’s about 75 people in it. Being on a piece of fake snow surrounded by green screen for like a month, it’s driving me absolutely insane.”

Facinelli, too, admitted that filming the final fight has meant the cast must suffer through a “brutal” production schedule, but he credited director Bill Condon with creating a calm, creative working environment.

“Bill Condon’s fantastic,” he said. “He’s such a great actors’ director. He’s really collaborative. He’s a joy to work with. He’s very relaxed all the time. You never see him sweat.”

Relativity Media has announced 11.11.11 as the release date for their upcoming 3-D epic, Immortals. This monster size motion picture features an incredible cast including Henry Cavill, Mickey Rourke, Stephen Dorff, Freida Pinto, Kellan Lutz among many others. If director Tarsem Singh’s previous work is any sign of what to expect, this should be pretty fantastic.

MTV: Let’s talk “Apparition” for a minute.
Stan: It was amazing, We were all included creatively in the process. Todd Lincoln, who wrote and directed it, wanted that. We had rehearsal time when we could come together and sometimes rewrite things for the better. We had time to improvise and see what we were missing. We discovered a lot of stuff that way. Both Tom and Ashley are coming from such huge franchises themselves, they’ve sort of experienced every corner of celebrity or hype, so I kind of felt like I was more on the sidelines to that.

MTV: Don’t sell your time on “Gossip Girl” short!
Stan: Oh no, never! I’ll always be grateful for that show. The exposure for me has been huge.

MTV: Where does this one fall in terms of tone?
Stan: To me, it was a mixture of “The Strangers” and “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and “Poltergeist.” Todd had a huge list of movies he wanted us to watch. We saw how horror was done in the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s into today. It’s definitely more psychological than just “get scared!”

MTV: That’s kind of like “Black Swan.” There are horror elements, psychological-thriller elements.
Stan: Yeah, I think a lot of “Apparition” is similar to that. As an audience, you’re trying to figure out if something is happening or if you’re a witness in somebody’s dark thoughts.

MTV: Most people are used to seeing Ashley in her “Twilight” world. What are people going to be surprised about when they see “Apparition”?
Stan: It’s different than how anybody has seen her before. Both of our characters are very simple, relatable kids. Just to finally play somebody who’s more relatable rather than a vampire, somebody with flaws and dreams and goals and is struggling with life — that’s amazing. These kids don’t know what they want to do with their lives, just that they want to start living a simple life. There are great arcs in the characters and the story lines, and it’s going to be great for people to see her play that out.

From USA Today:

Torrid honeymoon sex in tropical Brazil.

The most horrifying pregnancy since Rosemary delivered her devil child.

The threat of a vampire massacre on a nuclear scale.

No wonder the film version of Breaking Dawn is coming out in two parts — the first arrives Nov. 18. (The second is due Nov. 16, 2012.)

The wrap-up to the film franchise that began in 2008 and has grossed nearly $1.8 billion worldwide is truly the event-filled mother-of-all Twilight tales, based on the massive fourth volume of Stephenie Meyer’s literary phenom.

Even the most rabid Twi-hards have been nervous about how the sometimes graphic 754-page tome would translate on screen as the mixed-marriage spawn of courtly bloodsucker Edward Cullen and beloved human Bella (played by Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart) leads to friction with the Volturi, who act as vampire royalty, and the werewolf-prone Quileute tribe.

But never fear, says producer Wyck Godfrey.

Speaking from the Baton Rouge set where both installments of Breaking Dawn are shooting simultaneously, Wyck answered some of the Twi-faithful’s more pressing questions.

Q: Where does the story split in half?

A: “We basically want to take the audience through the emotional part of Bella’s journey as she becomes a vampire. The first part will cover the wedding, the honeymoon and the birth.” The film ends just before she embarks on her supernatural transformation.

Q: The book has three segments, two of which present Bella’s point of view and a middle that’s devoted to the perspective of her rejected werewolf suitor, Jacob (Taylor Lautner). How is that handled?

A: “The story will break from her and follow Jacob throughout the course of the movie as he struggles with his own dilemma. There is a sense that as Bella and the Cullens (Edward’s makeshift vampire clan) deal with her pregnancy, the world is still turning outside with Jacob.”

Q: Why was Bill Condon, the Oscar-winning filmmaker best known for his musicals as the screenwriter of 2002′s Chicagoand the director of 2006′s Dreamgirls, selected as the director of the finale?

A: “These films have the most difficult stuff from a performance standpoint. With his history of directing, I can’t think of anyone who would be better at bringing out the best in an actor.” Plus, the director, who did the 1995 sequel to Candyman, is a fright-fare enthusiast. “He has an appetite for the genre and a passion for the Twilight books and movies.”

Q: Considering what goes on during the torturous birth process, how can the rating be PG-13?

A: With Twilight’s core of under-18 fans, “it would be a crime against our audience to go R-rated.” However, “this is based on a much more mature book. We need to progress and be more sophisticated.”

A compromise: Having the bloody, bone-crushing delivery be seen only through Bella’s eyes. “She is looking through the haze, experiencing pain and everything rushing around her. We only see what she sees.”

Q: How is the long-awaited consummation of Edward and Bella’s love portrayed?

A: Even though their physical relationship goes way beyond what was shown in the first three films, “it does not become soft porn. It is a legitimate and important part of the movie, romantic and sensual.”

Q: At the end of Breaking Dawn, about 70 or so vampires from around the world gather to face off with the Cullens and their allies plus Jacob’s wolf pack. How can you keep both portions of the storytelling equally compelling?

A: “The second half is more of an action film in terms of life-and-death stakes.” But the domestic moments of the first film possess an emotional punch. “There are the pangs of newlywed tension that occur that are relatable even in a fantasy film. Marriage is not quite the experience that they thought it was.”

Q: Is there any chance that Condon could sneak in a musical number?

A: There might be traditional dancing at the wedding. But don’t expect any of the wolf pack to suddenly howl a tune or do a soft-shoe shuffle.

Although, as Godfrey jokes, “We just had a whole line of actors marching toward the camera. We could have them practice a chorus line with vampires doing kicks.”

HitFix talks about the film Anonymous, which stars, among others, Twilight’s Xavier Samuel (pictured above) and Jamie Campbell Bower. The site ponders the Oscar potential for the film, which follows the fictional story that perhaps William Shakespeare was not the actual writer of the plays that have made him famous.

Roland Emmerich has talked for years about finally making a film that doesn’t involve a aliens, a natural disaster or 200 CGI shots. He struck out the first time around with 2000’s middling “The Patriot,” but after the global success of “2012,” Sony Pictures has finally given him another chance with “Anonymous.”

The new drama explores the long pondered question: Who was the author of the plays credited to William Shakespeare? Was there more than one playwright? Starring Vanessa Redgrave, Rhys Ifans, Joely Richardson, David Thewlis, Xavier Samuel, Jamie Campbell Bower and Derek Jacobi, the fictional tale promises to mix “cloak-and-dagger political intrigue” with “illicit romances in the Royal Court” and political backstabbing only 16th Century England can provide. It’s worth noting, little known Rafe Spall (son of Timothy Spall) is credited as playing Shakespeare.

The studio have slotted “Anonymous” with a Sept. 30, 2011 opening which is on the verge of awards season’s usual Oct. 1 theatrical window. Is it a real player or an “Other Boleyn Girl” or “The Duchess” like pretender? We’ll have to wait a few more months to find out, but in the meantime, Sony has released the first new image from the drama which you can see embedded below.
