I know why the vampire sparkles!

I was doing my Twilight Saga rounds & found this interesting article of alternative observaions by ktholt.  Do read,enjoy, & leave comments if U like!


I finally read Twilight, and after hours of internet research, I’ve found a solution to a major problem I had with the story. I know why the vampire sparkles!

Of course, innate body glitter is just the latest thing wrong with vampires at large, so I’ll start with the broader picture and work my way to the answer to that new riddle.
First, I assert that vampires must be giant, highly evolved insects. That makes sense because most of the hematophages in the natural world are bugs.
Second, like many real bloodsuckers, vampires must feed before they reproduce. However, unlike anything in the natural world, vampires seem to reproduce entirely through horizontal gene transfer. If they don’t kill their victim outright, then vampire genes invade the host and trigger…
Metamorphosis. According to Twilight, the process takes days and is excruciatingly painful, which is logical given that the victim undergoes complete hystolysis and histogenesis without the benefit of a pupal stage, let alone general anesthesia.
But wait! How do vampires retain the memories of their human lives? Well, butterflies are apparently able to remember things they learned as caterpillars. While it’s doubtful that the same processes would apply identically to higher-order animals, anything is apparently possible with enough suspension of disbelief.
Furthermore, vampires appear to be ectothermic, or never warmer than their environment. ‘Cold-blooded’, in other words. Their stone-like ‘skin’ also seems more like an exoskeleton than warm, soft, human tissue.
What about vampires’ superhuman abilities? The Tiger Beetle is technically ‘the fastest running land animal’. The strongest animal is the world is the horned dung beetle. Insects also have incredible vision; most see colors invisible to humans and bees see in color at five times the speed we’re able. Vampires and other insects don’t breathe like we do, nor do they possess a human heartbeat. As an added bonus, invertebrates are notoriously hard to kill.
By now, I’m sure you’re all with me; vampires are bugs. But what kind? It took me a while to figure it out, but now I’m convinced that vampires are nothing more than overgrown, parasitic…
Butterflies!

There you have it. Vampires are gorgeous, metamorphosis is a key part of their development, and they are natural experts at camouflage and mimicry. Some butterflies have even been observed feeding on blood.
Why do they sparkle? That’s easy: Vampires, like butterflies, are covered in tiny iridescent scales.

Here are a few more HQ pics that have surfaced which are of a more relaxed Rob, so do enjoy!

As per usual, B sure 2 open up yo see Rob in full screen mode!

Some HQ pics of Rob on Bel Ami set

Below R some High Quality pics of Rob on set of Bel Ami (which was wrapped up a while back, hence the longer classic Rob haircut).  As usual, as most of these pics are HQ,  do click on them in order to see original super size.   He sure was looking quite dapper n debonair in some of these shots.  What do we think?  Can't wait to see the finished product, which has been slatted for a release date in my previous post here.

Fansite version of 'Bel Ami' announced, celebrates Robert Pattinson's forthcoming film adaptation

Throughout the winter and early spring, Robert Pattinson was busy in Budapest, Hungary filming Bel Ami, a book-to-screen adaptation of Guy de Maupassant's novel.

In the film, Robert Pattinson portrays "Georges Duroy," a social ladder climber who uses powerful women to get his way. Pattinson's co-stars in the film include Christina Ricci, Uma Thurman, and Kristen Scott-Thomas, and the film's release date is tentatively to be set sometime in 2011.
To celebrate Pattinson's work on this film, his oldest fansite, Pattinson Online, has worked with Fandemonium Publishing to create a fansite edition/version of Bel Ami, the novel, ladened with images of Robert Pattinson on the set of the film.


Here's a bit of information about the book, sent by Pattinson Online's administration team:


We worked together to thoughtfully consider each photo, its placement, and the appropriate quotations from the book to bring a brand new version of this classic novel to readers and fans.
Bel Ami is a contagious read because it is written in a manner that both the casual reader and the avid reader can appreciate. We believe our version of the novel will encourage more of Rob’s fans to read the book and build anticipation for the film. While our version focuses on branding the character of Georges Duroy, our ultimate desire is to encourage Rob’s fans to support him in all of his current and future film roles, something we believe distinguishes this project from the fan material currently on the market. In working together, Pattinson Online and Fandemonium have delivered what we feel is an engaging book that respects a classic work.
The Bel Ami Pattinson Online Fan Site Edition will be available for sale on Amazon and its affiliates, as well as Barnes & Noble and several other major book retailers. You can see the book’s official landing page at http://www.belamibook.com/.
While the book itself is a big deal for us at Pattinson Online, we’re also excited to be partnering with Fandom Gives Back, a fandom-wide initiative that has raised over $140,000 for childhood cancer research through Alex’s Lemonade Stand. We recently auctioned off two copies of the book which raised $145 for FGB. You can learn more about this awesome project at the official FGB site. http://thefandomgivesback.blogspot.com/
To encourage fans to read Bel Ami, we’re also hosting a Bel Ami Book Club where fans can read and discuss the book along with us. We are hoping to get this started in the next few weeks.

ONE TALENTED FAMILY: WESTSIDE CHATS TO LIZZY PATTINSON

“Does anyone here like Twilight?” A murmur of ‘yes’ was discernable from the back, where a small crowd of teenage girls had assembled en masse, hoping to catch a glimpse of a certain leading man and this month's WestSide cover star. You’ve got to admire her candour

Robert Pattinson’s stunning sister is an old hand on London’s gig circuit; she found a measure of early success (and a few top 20 singles) as a member of UK dance act, Aurora.

Her soft, wistful voice also provides the backing vocals on the track 'Who Are They' in the moment when sullen vampire Edward Cullen enters the cafeteria and locks eyes with Bella Swan.

It was a Thursday night in July and the Elgin Food Pub & Music House in Ladbroke Grove was packed to full capacity. No doubt the crowd was curious to find out whether this singer-songwriter with a famous last name possesses the talent to make it in her own right. With a roster of original songs under her belt, she's been raking in critical acclaim for her solo performanes.
Just seconds into her performance and we had our answer. A friend hit the nail on the head, suggesting that Lizzy has that rare kind of jazzy ebullience that would do justice to Sam Cooke’s Summertime. Refusing to be tied to a single genre, she channels contemporary pop to 50s blues, with a range of influences from Madonna, Beyonce, Kate Bush and Fleetwood Mac. It’s thoroughly easy listening.
A dab hand at the piano, Pattinson writes the lyrics and top-line for all of her own music. However, a few big names have lent their compositional talents to the budding starlet. Her biggest hits were the result of recent collaborations with Starsailor and her jack-of-all-trades little brother, Robert.
Pattinson faced a tough crowd that Thursday night. It was one of those balmy summer evenings where anything less than a blast of sub-zero air con wasn’t going to cut it. Stepping out in a full-length maxi dress, the singer-songwriter waved in her hands in mock exasperation and quipped, “Guys…are we hot enough?” Warming to her sarcastic sense of humour, audience members rigorously fanned themselves with cocktail menus to avoid stir up some breeze rather than risk cutting short the performance.
Chatting to the singer after a successful set, we touched on the inspirations behind her songs. A classic girl’s girl, she lists vintage fashion, old movies and the romantic idea of “a smoky club in the 40s” as her key influences. Clearly, Lizzy’s songs aren’t fuelled by bad break ups or residual teenage angst. “My heart hasn’t been bruised that many times,” she joked.
Rather than shrinking from questions about her famous brother, Lizzy views his success as a way to promote her music. “I like it,” she remarked after signing an autograph for a gawky teenage admirer, “Twilight is giving me opportunities to make new fans.”


Catch Lizzy on August 4 at the Regal Rooms in Hammersmith. 64 Fulham Palace Road, W6 9PH

Rob's Diet Secrets?

Twilight: Eclipse star Robert Pattinson can’t cook but is eating healthier than ever, thanks to a service that delivers fresh meals to his home every day.



“In Los Angeles I started using a delivery service which only delivers fresh and healthy food, Pattinson, 24, tells German newspaper Sächsische Zeitung. “Even in the morning I have a bag with healthy food delivered to me. I’ve never in my life lived as healthy as I do now.”


‘I CAN ONLY MAKE TOAST’


Robert, who lives a vagabond lifestyle because of his hectic work schedule, says there's no place he can call home right now.
"My home consists of three suitcases which I live out of," he says. "Everything is in there".

Unlike fitness fanatic Taylor Lautner, who works out nonstop and eats every two hours to stay buff, Pattinson is less concerned about weight and more about convenience.
“Of course I miss homemade food, but I’m on my own or on the go most of the time," Rob admits. "And I can’t cook myself. I only just manage to make some toast. I don’t seem to have the genetic endowments for it. I’m incapable to tell what tastes good and what doesn’t.”

Robert Pattinson runs like a Superstar

Robert Pattinson has revealed he had to train to run like a true action hero for new Twilight movie Eclipse.

The 24-year-old Hollywood heartthrob confessed to Reveal magazine his run in the first two Twilight films as brooding vampire Edward Cullen had been a bit weak, so he hit the treadmill.
Robert laughed: "I had to learn how to run properly. In the last two films, I ran in a limp/skip. I had to run more solidly this time so I spent a lot of time on a giant treadmill. It was like one of those things that mice run around in."


Robert also had to brush up on his fighting skills for a scene with new co-star Bryce Dallas Howard, who plays villain Victoria.


The actor admits he used a body double for the most dramatic parts, but movie bosses were still impressed with his action moves.


Robert revealed: "Weirdly, one of the producers told me: 'Wow, you look so enthusiastic in that fight scene. Much more than in any other one in the series'. It's always hard to do stuff with Bryce because she's the gentlest person and is always laughing. And she's afraid of hurting me!"

Blogger explains why a 'PG-13' 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn' will be good

Nothing's set in stone, yet, with The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 or The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2's MPAA rating (obviously, since it hasn't been filmed yet), but among the fan community, it's been rather well-known that the films will likely seek a "PG-13" rating.

Earlier this month, a representative of film studio Summit Entertainment discussed that fact with MTV and basically confirmed the consensus' understanding of the issue.
A lot of fans, needless to say, hoped that the rating sought might be taken up a notch for the film(s), given the events that take place in the book.
Mandy's Mind, a Vancouver-based blogger who has reported from the sets of The Twilight Saga: New Moon and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse in the past, has done an article explaining why a "PG-13" Breaking Dawn might just be alright after all.
Presenting clips from Ghost, The Notebook, Titanic, Dirty Dancing, and more, the montage is rather convincing that a love sequence such as what fans expect to see from "Isle Esme" could be done tastefully enough to afford a film a "PG-13" rating and still present the necessary imagery.

Mark Your Calendars - The Twilight Saga : Eclipse DVD release dates

Come early December there will be two places to see Robert Pattinson... The Twilight Saga : Eclipse DVD and Bel Ami film.....

The retailer is listing the film for release on 6th December 2010, which would presumably point to a US release on either 30th November or 7th December. Thus far, it's just listing a two-disc Fan Edition of the film, and the Blu-ray release too.

Protagonist Pictures, the company responsible for sales of distribution rights, has listed on their website that Bel Ami is in post-production and has a deliver date of December 2010. We speculate that this deliver date was chosen so that Bel Ami could be nominated for awards in 2010.

German Interview - Twilight, Water For Elephants & Chastity

Rob was recently interviewed by Die Presse, a German media outlet. In the article he talks about his views on the themes in Twilight, his current living situation, and his latest film.

10.07.2010 18:37 from Mariam Schaghaghi (Die Presse)

Robert Pattinson: “Sometimes my reaction is panic”

There isn’t a single actor of the current time so idolized as he: “Twilight”-Vampire Robert Pattinson. On Thursday the new film starts, right ahead of its release he speaks about fame, elephants, and the “first time”.


Rob, you could be crowned the most famous actor in the world right now. How do you deal with this strangeness?
There are good and bad days. I often wish I wouldn’t react in such panic. But I believe I can separate jobs from private life very well. So far my ego still hasn’t been injured!

Currently, it is surely not simple to be Robert Pattinson. Can you believe what all has happened in the past two years?
Honestly, I have always said that it’s a subjective glimpse of the whole. For me everything feels the same as before, but there are a few aspects of my life that are completely different. I would just like to not admit that it has taken over my entire life. For myself, in my head, it’s the same as it was in the old days; I also have the exact same friends.


You are 24 and, as it is, can’t be anywhere without bodyguards at the door. Doesn’t it stink to you that you can’t lead a normal life?
Sometimes. But then I remember how my normal life was: boring.


Where do you live now, in London or in L.A.? Do you perhaps have a home?
No, I don’t. My “apartment” consists of three suitcases, out of which I live. Inside of them is everything that I need.


Isn’t that a very lonely life?
I work constantly, so I am always surrounded by people who ask me questions or give me instructions. That’s why I enjoy it if I can do something for myself. I don’t have any problems with having a two-month long period with no one to speak to.


How do you sympathize with Edward in respect to women? Is he the knight in shining armor about whom we apparently all still dream?
I hear often that this story is too old-fashioned and encourages women to take on subservient roles. I don’t think that at all! Even when Bella sometimes has moments of helplessness, she is still only a fictional character. What are we coming to, if every fictional film character is automatically a role model for our society!

“Twilight” represents very old-fashioned values. Bella and Edward first go to bed with each other after their marriage. Are you also against sex before marriage?
I believe rather, that everyone has sex before marriage (laughs)—then and now. I also don’t believe that girls ‘must respect themselves’ or that boys only want ‘the one’. If you behave like a gentleman, because chastity really suits you—okay. But if you take it for the newest fad in the dating world, then it’s rather off the mark.


You said once, you find that the saga, without sex, is sexy…
Yeah, I think so. Every one of us knows the time, before something happens between a couple, when you’re still totally insecure: Does the other person like me or not? That is definitely the riskiest time! This moment can last an eternity. To this sweet uncertainty also comes anxiety, especially if it’s the first time for both people. I believe this worry stirs up desire. And in this case, the period of desire lasts almost four books.


You are currently shooting “Water for Elephants” with the Austrian Christoph Waltz. How are you getting along with him?
Christoph is stunning, an insanely nice guy. He is not only a ridiculously good actor, he is also really funny, helpful, and a good colleague. I like his work ethic. I mean, the guy has won an Oscar—and despite that he is receptive, open-minded, and not the least bit snooty. And Reese Witherspoon is the same. It may be the nicest cast that I have worked with yet—a really great experience.


You seem to only work. What would the perfect day look like for you?
Recently I stood in the desert, far outside of L. A., and watched the sun set on a circus tent from 1930. Everywhere stood animals: elephants, tigers that should be loaded into a steam train. 300 extras in costumes raced around, the modern world had disappeared totally. Although that was totally fake, it still happened directly before my eyes! That was my perfect day. I would be gladly experience that every day. It happens continually to me: It calls itself work. That is wonderful and more than enough.

EVERYTHING YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT ECLIPSE AND HAVE NOT YET DISCOVERED

EDWARD HAS COME BACK AND PROPOSED TO BELLA, BUT TO HINDER THE HAPPINESS OF THE COUPLE COME JACOB, DECIDED TO CONQUER THE GIRL AT ALL COSTS (SEE THE STOLEN KISS TO BELIEVE IT!), AND VICTORIA WITH HER ARMY OF INVINCIBLE NEWBORN VAMPIRES. A DANGER FOR BELLA, AND FOR FORKS, THAT WILL STRENGTHEN THE PACT BETWEEN THE CULLENS, IN FULL BATTLE ARRAY, AND THE WEREWOLVES, EVEN MORE GIGANTIC. NOR A VISIT OF THE VOLTURI WILL MISS…
THE THIRD INSTALLMENT OF THE TWILGHT SAGA RESTARTS FROM WHERE IT STOPPED IN NEW MOON. IT PROMISES AS WELL AS A GOOD DOSE OF ROMANTICISM ALSO A REALLY CHARGED-UP TURNING POINT. AN EVENT TO DISCOVER STEP BY STEP IN THE TWENTY POINTS TAKEN FROM THE BOOK “THE TWILIGHT SAGA ECLIPSE: THE OFFICIAL ILLUSTRATED MOVIE COMPANION” AND UNFOLDED EXCLUSIVELY BY BEST MOVIE.


ACTION, LET’S START! It’s night, rain falls relentlessly while a boy runs terrified. His destiny is marked. The undergraduate Riley Biers will be only the first of the “newborns” who will form the invincible army created by Victoria to implement her revenge. This is the opening scene of Eclipse, yet not present in Stephenie Meyer’s novel. Lack of loyalty? No, absolutely. It’s just one of the many “inventions” created by the screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg to adapt the Twilight saga for the screen, necessary to switch from first person narrative of the novels to the universality of cinema.


IF TELEPHONING Melissa Rosenberg spent hours on the phone with Stephenie Meyer to be told all the background of Eclipse, and to deepen the past of all the characters, even the minor ones. That’s how she came to know that Riley has been chosen from Victoria just because he came from Forks… a coincidence?


FOUR FOR A SAGA Since its movie birth the saga should distinguish itself, episode to episode, by atmosphere and plot. Therefore Catherine Hardwicke was perfect for Twilight, raw and realistic story. Chris Weitz showed with realism the complex emotions of New Moon. David Slade was the only one who was able to make the conflicting feelings that divide Bella in Eclipse come to the surface, while Bill Condon was given the task to sum up the saga with the two final episodes of Breaking Dawn.


REVEALED FLASHBACKS Eclipse unearths some secrets, from the legend of the third wife enshrined by the Quileute tribe, to the story of the transformation of Jasper and Rosalie. In the movie their past is shown in two flashbacks that take some poetic licenses, like the places where they’re set, that are different from the book.


STORYBOARD During the writing of the screenplay Melissa Rosenberg and David Slade have worked together. The director draw the scenes that he wanted to put in a sort of storyboard that then Melissa translated in words.


A COLOSSAL… TEAM Three different sets where available for Eclipse’s crew. Between six and eight hundred people worked on it.


COLOR PALETTE David Slade together with the director of photography Javier Aguirresarobe, worked a lot on colors too, using different shades depending on the situations, even if generally he preferred to use warm tones. Cullens are represented by cold tones. Werewolves are distinguished by the presence of red (both Jacob’s car and house are of that color, as well as Bella’s pick-up that belonged to Billy). To describe Forks’ inhabitants, instead, brown earth tones have been used.


AND AFTER THE ALIENS… Eclipse’s special effects have been realized by Image Engine based in Vancouver, the same that created the CGI aliens of District 9.


FOR A BUNCH OF CLOTHES One of the most difficult scenes to translate for Rosenberg was the one of the quarrel between Edward and Jacob, when the latter steals a kiss from Bella. “It has been complicated to invent a conversation that doesn’t degenerates into insults!”. The costume designer Tish Monaghan had to work hard too. To avoid Edward looking too pale and thin compared to his beefy rival, she made him get some mass wearing several layers of clothes.


MAKEUP AND WIGS Kristen Stewart, before starting filming Eclipse, had to cut her hair and make them darker to play Joan Jett in The Runaways. The result? She had to wear three different wigs to fit again in Bella’s shoes.


REBUILDING When the shootings moved from Portland (where Twilight has been filmed) to Vancouver (both New Moon and Eclipse), there has been the need to completely rebuild some edifice, like Bella’s house, for the second episode, or like the Cullen’s residence, since the post graduation party held there. So two of the three floors of the house have been rebuilt in a 1850 m² set and there’s more. Also the driveway, the garage and a part of the forest have been recreated.


THE DIPLOMA Among the various inventions of the Rosenberg there’s also the scene of the speech during the graduation ceremony, held by Jessica, played by Anna Kendrick, seen beside George Clooney and nominated to the Oscars for Up in the air.


BECOMING ALICE It took about two hours of make-up to the actors to get ready. As Ashley Greene, alias Alice, said. “Hairstyle, make-up and clothes are a big help to get in the character. It takes almost two hours for the white makeup of the body, the yellow lenses and the elf wig”.


A BORN FIGHTER Kellan Lutz, alias Emmet, has convinced the production to let him perform in many scenes in place of the stuntman.


RETURN TO THE ORIGINS Bryce Dallas Howard, who has replaced Rachelle Lefevre in the role of Victoria, was Stephenie Meyer’s first choice for the part.


FASTER THAN THE WIND To give the speed effect of vampires, treadmills have been used on which the actors run, that were towed by trucks or rigged golf carts. Special effects of Image Engine were added to this, like the wind on the leaves or the earth that raises, to make even more real the effect of the run.


THE NEWBORN ARMY The scene of the newborns that emerge from the water has created a lot of problems. Being immersed so much made the greasepaint melt quickly, so also the team working on the makeup had to remain soaking with the stunts to retouch the skin’s color until the last second.


INSIDE THE LEGEND The legend of the third wife, told to Bella during the bonfire, is shown in the movie in a flashback, for this an entire old Quileute village has been rebuilt.


MEN OR WOLVES? Tippet Studio had to work differently on wolves than with New Moon. Chris Weitz, in fact, placed heavy emphasis on their humanity, making them using their paws like they were hands. David Slade, on the contrary, wanted the animal essence of the wolves to be emphasized, who use the mouth in a prehensile way and paws just to maintain balance.


A THICK FUR Wolves’ fur has been made even more realistic, tripling the four millions of hair with an inedited operation that took more than six months of work.


ECLIPSE


AMID ADRENALINE BATTLES AND PASSIONATE LOVE SCENES, THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EDWARD AND BELLA IN THE THIRD CHAPTER OF TWILIGHT COMES TO A DECISIVE POINT. WILL JACOB SUCCEED IN UNDERMINE THEIR RELATIONSHIP?


An army of blood-thirsty vampires, a love so strong to overcome every test, a pack of werewolves ready to fight and a boundless friendship. This and a lot more is Eclipse, the third anticipated chapter of the Twilight saga. Anticipated not only by fans. Accomplice the direction of David Slade (30 days of night), this episode is even darker, hotter and with more adrenaline than the previous one. Dark for Victoria’s thirst for revenge, willing to do anything to kill Bella, even to create an army of newborn vampires (thus are called vampires newly transformed, equipped with an extraordinary strength and blood-thirsty) to lead to Forks. A danger for the girl, but also for the entire little town, possible to vanquish only with the unusual alliance between vampires and werewolves. The which leads to the adrenaline, to that decisive battle that needed a remarkable use of special effects, of stunts and “choreography” for the grapple fights to make it worthy of a real blockbuster.
But the heart of Eclipse is most of all the hot side. By now the passionate spirits have reached very high temperatures. Jacob claims that kiss that can make Bella change her mind, while the girl tries in any ways to seduce Edward, convinced supporter of sex after marriage (so…). But the love triangle between Bella, Edward and Jacob has come to its breaking point. The girl has to decide between to big loves, the brotherly and passionate Jacob and Edward, the reason of her life. Whatever the choice will be, someone will suffer…
The movie doesn’t miss anything, scripted as usual by Melissa Rosenberg, who succeeded in keeping Eclipse within the boundaries imposed by censorship, in order not to lose the array of very young fans who had made the fortune of the saga.
MELISSA ROSENBERG, THE DEUS EX MACHINA OF THE TWILIGHT SAGA
TALL, VERY ELEGANT, BLONDE HAIR, BLUE EYES, MELISSA ROSENBERG IS A CHARMING LADY, WHO ADDS TO BEAUTY THE CLASS AND THE HUMOUR OF A CULTURED AND BRILLIANT WOMAN. APART FROM THE FIRST THREE EPISODES OF THE TWILIGHT SAGA SHE WROTE ALSO SEVERAL EPISODES OF THE O.C. AND, MOST OF ALL, THE CULT SERIES DEXTER. AND NOW SHE GETS READY FOR BREAKING DAWN…


How does she work with Stephenie Meyer? Is she jealous of her own novels? And she, is she jealous of her adaptations?
“For Twilight I preferred not to have any sort of contact with Stephenie in order not to influence my creative process. But then we met and I felt that I could relax and I needed her collaboration. The mythology of the saga is full of details and I needed to confront with her”.


How much free to modify the novels do you feel? Do you consult with Stephenie when you decide to do it?
“The incredible thing is that, when I’m afraid to change something, she encourages me. Many times I read her how I have adapted a scene and she is the one who tells me that for the movie it doesn’t work in that way: “You must change it, thus it doesn’t work on the screen!”.


In Breaking Dawn there are some eagerly awaited hot scenes. Would you like a real love scene to be shot?
“Oh, yes, I’d really love it, but we always have to respect the PG -13 (that is the American censor, that in this case contemplates that thirteen years old and younger must be accompanied by parents)”.


How would you shoot this scene?
“Obviously I’ll try to transmit that burning longing, that love greed that is hindered by Edward’s vampire nature. The saga is incredibly erotic, while at the same time it is very chaste”.


Is there a place where you prefer to write? An office? Or a bench in the park?
“I have an office all surrounded by glass windows that overlook a garden full of trees. It’s very relaxing”.


Which advises would you give to an aspiring screenwriter who would want to make your own profession?
“First of all you need to have a good general knowledge. But most of all you must always follow your inspiration, believe in your instinct and knock at every door, never giving up”.

'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' stars Robert Pattinson and Kellan Lutz use their hands for charity

Both Robert Pattinson and Kellan Lutz ("Edward and Emmett Cullen" in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse) have been using their hands to help others lately.

Robert Pattinson donated his handprint and signature to ECPAT UK and The Body Shop's global campaign effort against human trafficking. Pattinson was one of many British celebrities to participate in the effort this way, and you can find out more about the campaign and Robert Pattinson's contribution to it here.
Meanwhile, Kellan Lutz used his hands to go bowling at the Express Matt Leinert Celebrity Foundation Celebrity Bowl on Thursday.
The Matt Leinart Foundation's mission is "to provide opportunities to children who would normally not receive them. The children may come from financially and/or socially disadvantaged areas, or may have permanent physical and/or mental disabilities."

Photos of the event can be found here.

Lutz has also been very active on his Twitter page over the past few months, using it not only to connect with fans, but also to introduce and support his favorite causes. The latest is his continued effort to get Twilight fans and their mothers (25,000 strong between July and October) into the doctor for a mammogram screening.

Keep up the good work!
