Taylor & Kristen in OZ

“Twilight stars Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart tell MovieFIX they’ll be involved in more movies in the series… if author Stephenie Meyer writes more books.

The actors jetted into Sydney for a whirlwind visit to promote The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, and sat down with Kylie Speer to talk about that infamous tent scene, dealing with Aussie “Twi-hards”, and how they’ll feel when the blockbuster franchise wraps after Breaking Dawn.”

  Great news re their commitments to future books!

New Rob merch 4 Eclipse

Robert Pattinson artwork for charity auction

Rob has donated this unique piece of original balloon artwork to be auctioned off by PACT: Parents and Abducted Children Together. PACT is an international, non-profit organisation. Its initial mission was to fight parental child abduction across frontiers by raising awareness of a growing, but little-known, problem and by advocating solutions. PACT has now broadened its mission to include the location and retrieval of all children who go missing.

There’s no doubt about it: right now Robert Pattinson is the most famous actor in the world. His role as cold-skinned, warm-hearted vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight movie saga has propelled this young British actor to idol status almost overnight. But – perhaps taking a cue from his character, who loves humanity despite himself – Mr. Pattinson hasn’t let his grueling production schedule or his mega-fame keep him from contributing regularly to causes he cares about. We’re grateful that Rob made time to design this one-of-a-kind, original sketch for PACT’s auction benefiting missing children, and we know you’re grateful, too … where else are you, RPattz fanatic, going to buy what may just be an original self portrait penned by Rob himself that will go to aid such a great cause? You just won’t. So get excited, get that blood pumping, think about Edward Cullen’s eyes and go bid now!

Twilight lexicon's review of The Twilight Saga :Eclipse rough cut film

What follows below is a review courtesy of  The Twilight lexicon, as this lucky reviewer had the opportunity to be part of this preview before the Oprah Eclipse Special:

 As most of you know, a special screening of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse was shown to Oprah’s audience members on Tuesday May 4, 2010. I was able to attend the screening. I don’t want to spoil too much, so I hope to make this review as spoiler free as possible. Now if you are trying to stay 100% spoiler free stop reading here, but if you want more, read on .

First off, I think it needs to be made clear that what we saw that night was an unfinished product. I spoke with a representative from Summit after the film to confirm a few things before I passed any judgment on any particular section of the film. I was told that the sound for the film we saw was mostly raw, meaning not a lot of over dubbing had been done to clean up the vocal quality of the dialogue, and that the sound track wasn’t completely provided. This was good news to me as I found some of the dialogue difficult to understand. There was even one section where the sound disappeared completely and subtitles were supplied so that we would know what Edward was saying to Bella. There were also long 10 – 15 minute segments of film, all non-action scenes, with absolutely no underscoring. You don’t realize how much that underscore means to the emotion of a film until you watch a film without it! And now that we’ve heard parts of the soundtrack, I am really excited to hear that music incorporated into the film.
Other than the sound, the special effects weren’t finished. We were told at the start of the film to expect the finished product to be sharper and more visually dynamic. I’m not sure which moments were missing their effects, but I’m guessing that some of the vampire battle moments will get tweaked as well as the wolves. We did get a shot of a few wolves in their silvery, computer digitalized versions, which was a bit of a shock to see and really makes you understand the work that goes in to animating the wolves. However, the moments with the finished wolves we’re just beautiful. I felt that each wolf’s character really came through. There is one moment in particular with Jacob in wolf form that is just perfection.
So that being said, what we DID see was 100% of the storyline. Let me reassure those of you who still doubt the romance of the film that it is there. It is so totally there! Every kiss you expect to see is there. Every moment of longing and confusion is there. From marriage proposals to leg hitches, it’s all there… and then some. The chemistry is hotter than ever. No need to worry about this side of the film.
Those of you that have missed the Cullens in the first two movies will not be disappointed. All the Cullens get more screen time, with the obvious emphasis on Rosalie and Jasper and their back stories. It was really quite fantastic to see them playing their human counterparts, and then to see both of them as red eyed vampires. The flashbacks were some of my favorite moments of the film.
Wolf pack fans, you get a treat, too. The scene that comes from chapter 11 of Eclipse (Legends) is very well done. Even though the CG on the wolves wasn’t finished, I felt there was more emotion and characterization in the wolves this time around than in New Moon. The new additions to the pack are played exactly as you expect. The crowd gave a sweet “awwww” when we first met Seth in the film. Booboo Stewart is so spot on Seth that you can’ t help but smile at him. Julia Jones is as bitter and edgy as Leah should be.
But I think the thing everyone will be talking about when they walk out of the theatre is the action. Action, action, action! Vampires being vampires and werewolves being werewolves. The action in the film rocks! It’s fast paced and intense. Yes, there is blood and the vampires die on film exactly as described in the books. Some of it will make you say “ewwww,” but then if you’ve read the book you know how certain characters go out in the end.
The few things that have had me concerned are the same things that have had every fan concerned from the moment we first saw the trailer. Jackson’s and Kristen’s wigs are just… not good in the version that I saw! There was online speculation that some of the pick up shots that were done recently were to fix Kristen’s wig. I had it confirmed from a Summit representative that Bella’s hair was actually digitally remastered so that she would have the natural looking hair we all know and love, and not an obvious wig with a dodgy hairline! I’m not sure if they did the same for Jackson, but I hope they did something. Jasper’s hair looks stringy. When in confederate uniform, Jasper’s costumes were fine; however, some of his more modern costumes reminded me of Mister Rogers in a few scenes. I find it really sad because Jackson did such a good job with Jasper’s back story. He really shines in this movie, but his hair and cardigan sweaters are somewhat of a distraction.
For the typical die-hard fan there are some changes made: a line choice here, a moment missed there. However, I don’t feel I can really address them here without spoiling too much. It isn’t much of an issue, just a few minor things that I wished had been done differently. And keep in mind that I am personally attached to Eclipse, so I figured I’d be pickier about this film than any of the others. So as a fan of the books, I understand that when adapting book to film that some things have to go or be changed, but it wasn’t anything vital that made me think the heart of the plot was destroyed or that familiar characters were acting out-of-character.
Overall, I honestly feel this is the best of the three films, and I’m not saying that just because I’m a Twilight fan. That comes with the addendum that I also feel it is the best book in the saga. So take my opinion for what it is worth on that account. However, with the intensity of the romance and the fast-paced action sequences, I expect every Twilight fan will be thoroughly pleased with the end result. More than pleased – I expect this film to crush some box office records not because it’s a Twilight film, but because it’s a great summer movie! Bravo David Slade. And bravo to the cast and crew for truly bringing their A-game for this one. I can’t wait to see the final product on June 30th!

Stephenie Meyer on the Cover Art For Breaking Dawn Book

"It represents Bella and Bella," Stephenie spills.

"This cover, one of the reasons why I love it and was so happy we
finally came up with the concept, is that it's the whole book series on
one cover. Bella's starts out as the weakest player on the board and she
ends up as the one who decides the outcome of the story. She became the
most powerful player, and I really liked that metaphor. I liked seeing her evolution in one picture."


Breaking Dawn's cover shows the weakest piece on a chess board – a pawn – and focuses on the strongest one, the queen. Although Bella's character comes full circle, Stephenie still feels that other players in the Twilight saga have more to share.


She confesses that Leah's story doesn't feel resolved to her and foresees future writing from Renesmee's point-of-view.


"If I were to go ahead with the Cullen universe -- and honestly I'll do
it for myself, whether I publish it or not is questionable at this point
-- but the narrators that I would go ahead with...would be Renesmee and
Leah. Probably about the age of five, which would be about 16 or 17 for
Renesmee."

Pretty cool 2 read that Steph may well consider going back in2 our Twilight Saga universe - can't wait!  It will make 4 some awesome reading!

The Twilight Saga: A note to fans from Bill Condon - repost

The Twilight Saga: A note to fans from Bill Condon

Greetings Twihards, Twifans, Twilight Moms, Team Edward, Team Jacob and Team Switzerland,

I just want to say hello to all of you and let you know that I'm stoked to be getting underway on the adventure of making BREAKING DAWN. As you've probably heard, I've been given a very warm welcome by Stephenie and Team Summit - who are super-focused, as you know, on getting these movies right.

I'm pretty busy bringing myself up to speed on what you already know by heart: I've read BREAKING DAWN twice, rewatched Catherine's and Chris's movies 2-3 times each, have all four CDs playing in my car, and have Catherine's notebook, Mark Cotta Vaz's companion books, and even Volume 1 of the graphic novel here on my desk - a corner of my office is starting to look like Hot Topic. I realize that this barely qualifies me for "newborn" status in the universe you've been living inside for a few years now, but a guy's gotta start somewhere.

Like many of you, I've always been slightly obsessed with vampires, dating back to the prime-time series DARK SHADOWS, which I followed avidly as a kid. But that alone hadn't been enough to get me interested in making a vampire movie, even though my early screenwriting and directing efforts grew out of a great love for horror movies and thrillers. Since making GODS AND MONSTERS thirteen years ago, however, I've been yearning for a return to a story with Gothic overtones.

The wonderful world that Stephenie has created has obviously struck a chord with you, and I don't think it's difficult to see why. For me, her characters are simultaneously timeless, yet very modern. Rooted in a beautiful, real landscape with a great sense of place, Bella, Edward, Jacob, and the rest of the Forks/La Push menagerie, experience emotions that are primal, and universal: desire, despair, jealousy - and it all comes to fruition in BREAKING DAWN. This is a final chapter in the best sense; not just wide in scope and scale, but emotionally charged and intense throughout.

I'm a huge admirer of the already-iconic Kristen, Robert, and Taylor, and wanted to be the one to work with them as they face the challenges of bringing your beloved characters to the end of their journeys. Really, what could be more fun than that?

Please feel free to ask questions in the comments section below, and I'll do my best to answer them. I hope that this will be the first of many occasions I'll get to check in with you as we set to work bringing BREAKING DAWN to the screen. I am excited and grateful to have all of you alongside me for my TWILIGHT journey.

All best,

Bill Condon

P.S. Answer #1: No, there won't be any musical numbers

Breaking Dawn Director Annoucement - 4 those who missed it 1st time 'round!

BILL CONDON TO DIRECT SUMMIT ENTERTAINMENT’S THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN

Los Angeles, CA April 28, 2010 – Summit Entertainment has confirmed that Academy Award® winner Bill Condon will direct THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN, based on the fourth novel in author Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series. THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN, is currently being written by Melissa Rosenberg, and will star Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. Wyck Godfrey, Karen Rosenfelt, and Stephenie Meyer will produce the project.


“Bringing Stephenie Meyer’s BREAKING DAWN to the screen requires a graceful and intelligent hand and we believe Bill Condon is exactly the right steward, having shown equal and abundant talents of immense creativity and subtle sensitivity,” said Erik Feig, President of Production and Acquisitions, for Summit Entertainment.


Added author Stephenie Meyer, “I’m so thrilled that Bill wants to work with us. I think he’s going to be a great fit, and I’m excited to see what he does with the material.”


“I’m very excited to get the chance to bring the climax of this saga to life on-screen. As fans of the series know, this is a one-of-a-kind book – and we’re hoping to create an equally unique cinematic experience,” said Bill Condon.


THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN illuminates the secrets and mysteries of this spellbinding romantic epic that has entranced millions.


Condon is well known for writing and directing DREAMGIRLS, KINSEY, and GODS AND MONSTERS, for which he won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay in 1999. He was nominated for a second Oscar for his screenplay for the movie musical CHICAGO in 2003. Most recently the multi-hyphenate directed the pilot episode for the Showtime series “The Big C” and produced the 81st Annual Academy Awards telecast, hosted by Hugh Jackman.


The third film in the franchise, THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE is due in theaters on June 30, 2010.

USA Today Interview May 16 2010

CHICAGO — Dashingly disheveled Robert Pattinson has an infectious, high-pitched laugh that would never do for his seductive vampire lover-boy, Edward Cullen.



Buff-and-polished Taylor Lautner is pocket-size compared with the looming stature of his werewolf counterpart, Jacob Black.


Casual yet cool Kristen Stewart can be a real chatterbox, unlike her moody Bella Swan, the high schooler in a romantic tug of war between these two supernatural objects of teen desire.


Lucky girl, right? “Yeah, but that’s in the movies,” Stewart says about bringing to life the modern-day Gothic heroine from the insanely popular Twilight book series (85 million copies sold so far). “I’m just the ultimate fan. If you read a story and you like it andconnect to it, it probably means you’ve inserted yourself in the story, and I get to do that on the most glorified level possible.”


Hollywood fantasy regularly blends with everyday reality for these three blazing-hot rising stars. It has taken a while for a cultural navigator like Oprah Winfrey to zero in on the heat behind the literary-spawned phenom. But on this early May morning, Twilight fever is raging at Harpo Studios as the actors file into the backstage area after taping a show that aired Thursday. The occasion? Eclipse, the third chapter in an already billion-dollar worldwide franchise that arrives June 30.

The actors are unfazed by the shrieking adoration of a largely female audience, many in black Twilight T’s — Team Edward and Team Jacob are duly represented — and all handpicked for their passion for the epic movie series based on author Stephenie Meyer’s four-part saga.


“It’s so nice sometimes, preaching to the converted,” says Pattinson, 24, the London-born overnight sex symbol and primary reason for the screams. Thanks to his devoted worshipers, he has been elevated from a little-known Harry Potter supporting player to one of Time’s 100 most influential people in the world in less than three years. They were out in force the night before at a Winfrey-sponsored screening of an unfinished print of Eclipse. Afterward, a firestorm of fan Tweets rife with “OMGs” gushed about the much-anticipated sequel to 2008’s Twilight and last year’s New Moon.


Once Stewart, 20, painstakingly signs Winfrey’s guest book and Lautner, 18, stops practicing his grape-tossing parlor trick, the castmates settle into a buttery leather sofa to talk about such topics as the iconic moments that are re-created in Eclipse, run-ins with other celebrities and what the post-Twilight future holds.


The fame game


But, first, the pain of fame that comes from being on the paparazzi’s most-wanted list is addressed. When New Moon opened last fall, barely a day went by without seeing a headline about Lautner and country cutie Taylor Swift or speculation on whether Pattison and Stewart are a real-life couple.


Although, lately, the frenzy has calmed somewhat, judging by the number of Twilight-free magazine covers at grocery checkouts. “I don’t know if this is the actual reason why, but we have gotten better at hiding over the last year,” Pattinson says.“That’s totally the reason,” Stewart concurs. “They just make up a story to go along with the pictures. If they never get the picture, there’s no story. We are just good hiders now.”


Such subterfuge includes neither confirming nor denying that they are in a relationship. Yet there clearly is some sort of special connection between the two, what with their playful teasing and personal asides. Let’s just say it wasn’t Lautner who placed a hand on Pattinson’s leg during a portion of the interview.


But all three take their Twilight-related duties to heart, whatever they might require. Stewart even leaps up in a panic at one point, fearing she misspelled a word in her salutation to Winfrey. She checks the book: “Believe — ie or ei?”


“I before e except after c,” Pattinson responds. She checks. “Oh, yeah,” she says with a triumphant fist pump.


Pattinson laughs. “I almost spelled Oprah wrong. I almost wrote Opera.”


The actors are keen to know how Eclipse played to the crowd at the screening and are pleased to hear that every element has been heightened: the horror, the romance, the three-way interaction among their characters, the touches of humor that often come at the expense of Edward and Jacob’s rivalry — especially after they forge a testy alliance to save Bella from a roving gang of rabid newborn vampires.


Stewart says of Eclipse’s positive early reception: “It is a well-oiled machine at this point. We have had a lot of time to establish what this thing is about and a lot of time to consider it. And they gave us so much more money this time. So that is exciting.”


Pattinson, looking bemused, quickly clarifies her statement. “For the film. The budget.”


Stewart is chagrined. “Oh, my God. No, no. That didn’t even occur to me. They gave us so much more money to make the film look good!”


The leads did get raises — Stewart and Pattinson are taking home a reported $7.5 million each plus a percentage of the gross, Lautner gets $5 million — while the production’s price tag grew to $65 million, still modest compared with similar franchises.


Yet the few extra bucks seem to have paid off, especially with the effects. Even Lautner’s CG wolf alter-ego is more adorable than in New Moon. “Yeah,” says the actor, sheepishly. “It was very cuddly. I don’t know if that’s what we were aiming for.”


He waffles over the wisdom of sharing an anecdote about the scene in which the vicious horse-sized beast sweetly nuzzles Bella and she scratches his ear. After a little coaxing, he relents.

“That day I came on set and put on this tight gray spandex suit …”


“There is dialogue and I talk to him,” Stewart explains. “I said, ‘How am I going to do this without Taylor?’ ” So instead of the actress pretending that a massive computer-animated wolf was nearby, Lautner volunteered to be its stand-in.


“Basically, it looked like a Teletubby,” he continues about his outfit. “I had this circle on the face but everything else was covered. It was weird. But, yeah, I stood there and would literally bend over …”


“I would actually pet his head,” Stewart adds.


Pattinson, meanwhile, struggled with Edward’s rather formal proposal to Bella, which reflects the fact that although his vintage vampire looks 17, he hails from the turn of the last century.


“I was dreading the day it was coming,” he says of the scene that was held until the very end of the shoot. “The first time I read the script, I thought, ‘This is impossible.’ ” References to “promenades” and sharing “iced tea on the porch” as Edward explains how he would have courted Bella in the old days especially stuck in his throat. “It’s so earnest. I finally convinced the producers that you can play it with a bit of awareness of not being a fictional character. I’m not trying to be part of a Gothic novel.”


When Pattinson finally watched it, however, he was pleasantly surprised. “It seems different when you see it.”


Their profiles have grown with each film, and celebrity status does afford them the chance to mingle with their own idols. Although, more often than not, the other stars are the ones bedazzled as they request autographs for their Twilight-crazed kids.


“I took a picture with Ron Howard last year at the Oscars,” Pattinson recalls. “I thought it was the funniest thing. I asked, ‘Is it for your kids?’ He said, ‘No, it’s for me. I want to have it on my phone.’ ” Making the situation even odder: Howard’s daughter, Bryce Dallas Howard, is in Eclipse.


Alas, Pattinson has yet to run into his favorite, Jack Nicholson.


Stewart pipes up: “I have.”


Pattinson: “What? When did you meet?”


Stewart: “At a screening for Into the Wild,” her 2007 coming-of-age drama directed by Sean Penn. “He was exactly like you think he would be.”


Pattinson, sounding peeved: “You never told me that.”


Lautner joins in. “I didn’t meet him but I sat next to him at a Lakers game.”


Pattinson, utterly exasperated: “What?”


Life beyond ‘Twilight’


Next subject. The three are actively trying to ward off post-Twilight typecasting by doing solo projects in between. Stewart and Pattinson, both bookworms and drawn to art-house fare, earned OK reviews but underwhelming ticket sales for their two recent releases, the girl-band bio The Runaways and the romantic melodrama Remember Me.


But they continue to be in demand for more mature roles. Stewart is psyched to be a part of a big-screen version of Jack Kerouac’s On the Road, which starts shooting in August. Pattinson recently wrapped his work on the London set of Bel Ami as a 19th-century social-climbing rogue opposite Kristin Scott Thomas, Uma Thurman and Christina Ricci. Does he bed all three?

“Yes, but they’re not like typical love scenes at all,” he says.


Adds Stewart: “They’re all a little weird. A little edgy. And a little nude.” Chuckling ensues.

Meanwhile, Lautner — a natural athlete who played a high school track star in the box-office-topping ensemble comedy Valentine’s Day— seems to be angling to become the next big action hero with upcoming roles in the thriller Abduction and Stretch Armstrong, a 3-D adventure based on a toybox muscleman.


Did he ever own one of the dolls, whose limbs could be pulled and elongated like taffy? “I don’t remember having one at my house, but I totally remember stretching that sucker.”


Then there is the next Twilight feature, Breaking Dawn, opening Nov. 18 next year. The fourth and presumably final book is so jammed with life-altering events — a wedding, first-time sex between Bella and Edward, a grotesquely painful birth — that there has been talk of doing two films back to back. And it might even be in 3-D. But the actors can confirm only their involvement.


What has been decided is that Breaking Dawn’s director will be Bill Condon, the filmmaker behind Dreamgirlsand Oscar-nominated screenwriter of Chicago.

Have they met Condon, who already posted a letter on Facebook reassuring fans of his appreciation of the material and that the film most definitely will not be a musical despite his résumé?


Lautner nods yes.

Pattinson: “When did you meet him?” Lautner: “One day.” Stewart: “Did you have a meeting?” Lautner: “No, no.” Pattinson: “I literally met him three nights ago.”


Stewart, in a mock snit: “Well, he obviously doesn’t want to meet me.”
