Ex-Twilighter Lefevre Pissed At Summit
Rachelle Lefevre, the actress who has played vampire Victoria in Twilight and will reprise her role on November 20th for The Twilight Saga's New Moon was unceremoniously replaced late Tuesday by Summit Entertainment, the production company behind the series.
Who did they bring in but Bryce Dallas Howard, the poor child of Ron Howard who is sometimes the best part in a bad M. Night Shyamalan movie (The Village, Lady In Water), other times unwittingly drawn into blockbuster properties for their disappointing sequel (Spider-Man 3, Terminator Salvation) or good in a movie most people just don't see (Manderlay).

Summit Fights Back After Rachelle Lefevre's Comments Over Abrupt Re-Casting Of "Eclipse" Role
Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - Summit Entertainment is fighting back claims made by scorned actress Rachelle Lefevre when her role in the third "Twilight" film was given to another actress. Earlier this week, the film studio announced that Bryce Dallas Howard will be replacing Lefevre for the role of Victoria in "Eclipse" after the latter was forced to leave the project because of "scheduling conflicts."
However, the 30-year-old actress said she was "stunned" that the character was given to someone else when she was fully committed to the role. She said that though she will be filming "Barney's Version," her commitment to that film is only for 10 days and that she would have made it to film "Eclipse." However, Summit said that they would have a conflict with those 10 days and would not be able to accommodate her.
Summit then released a statement of their own, saying they are "disappointed" with Lefevre for pointing fingers at them with her "untrue" statements. Read more...

Twilight and New Moon News for July 29


'Twilight' stars' body language analyzed
Ah, the age old question: are Twilight stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart an item? First they aren't. Then they definitely aren't because R-Pat has an "unfamous" girlfriend. Then they might be again. Then they supposedly were, but now they're not. And certainly no one can deny that their on-screen chemistry is off-the-charts. So what gives?
SPOILER ALERT! Rumors are that the producers of New Moon forbade Rob and Kristen from getting close in public, because in the 2nd part of the trilogy the two are no longer together. Instead, Stewart's new love interest is Taylor Lautner, who showed up with the two at last weekend's Comic-Con for a red carpet appearance and press conference. Read more...

Twilight Star Robert Pattinson Calls New Moon Vampire Edward Cullen a Weirdo
Amid the Twilight Saga tidal wave of daily New Moon headlines, we don't always hear from Twilight star Robert Pattinson who revealed in a recent New Moon interview, referred to Twilight vampire Edward Cullen as a weirdo. For the many Twilight and New Moon fans on the side of Team Edward, it may be a hard New Moon pill to swallow to hear Robert Pattinson refer to Twilight Saga lead vampire Edward Cullen as a weirdo.
According to the latest New Moon news on Pattinson from OK Magazine, which comes via Reuters, Twilight Saga leading man Robert Pattinson told OK that he believes Edward Cullen is a weirdo and likens the New Moon vampire to an ax murderer. Link...

Twi-hard: Twilight Makeup Sees the Light
Good Lord, it’s true; an entirely new makeup company has been created based on the Twilight saga.
Twilight Beauty, the newly created brand, has spawned two separate and distinct (well, distinct to any Twilight fan) lines of cosmetics. The first line, Luna Twilight, will be the lighter, soft collection. It will contain a First Light Body and Face Glow, and Gleam Metallic Mascara that will no doubt have your lashes twinkling like vampire Edward’s exposed skin in the sunlight.
The second line, Volturi Twilight, is named after the evil-ish Italian vampire coven from the famous fiction novels. This collection boasts a Foreshadow Primer and Labrynth Shadows glitter dust. Sound dreamy? You’ll have to wait until September to sink your teeth into these goodies, when they hit Nordstrom and Dillard’s department stores nationwide. Link...

In the third installment of Summit's "Twilight" franchise, Rachelle Lefevre, who was to play the role of villain Victoria, will be replaced by Bryce Dallas Howard when shooting begins in Vancouver on August 17.
Lefevre played the role in the first picture, "Twilight," and in the upcoming "New Moon."

New Moon Star Robert Pattinson Explains Twilight Sequel Hallucinations
Now that Twilight and New Moon fans know how the Robert Pattinson embodied Edward Cullen will be portrayed in New Moon, Pattinson, who plays the lead Twilight Saga and New Moon vampire, gave Twilight fans insight into the New Moon hallucinations of Bella Swan, played by Kristen Stewart.
MTV reports on the New Moon Comic-Con Q&A with Twilight Saga stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner in which Pattinson revealed that Edward will appear as an apparition to Bella Swan. During the New Moon Q&A, Pattinson told Twilight fans, "It's just Edward's voice in the book. And I guess it would look probably pretty cheesy if it was just my voice, so they've done these hallucinations, kind of semi-visible apparitions." Read more...

The Twilight Saga: New Moon's director talks soundtrack
It must be the most hotly anticipated soundtrack of the year and now we have a date Twifans, for it has been confirmed that the music from The Twilight Saga: New Moon will be hitting US store shelves on 13th October, 5 and a half weeks before the film opens on 20th November. This is obviously great news for our transatlantic cousins who can jot the date in their diaries now, though sadly for those in the UK there’s no date for release confirmed yet. But let’s turn that frown upside down as Chris Weitz; the director of the sequel to last year’s Twilight has been opening up about which artists are likely to make it onto the hallowed collection… Read more...

Taylor told fans at Comic Con: "It was quite cold... We did this scene where it was raining. It wasn't really raining out there, actually a little bit, but we needed it to rain harder, so we used this rain-tower rain, which is straight from the wells. Read more and see pics...

But fans and media alike continue to want the couple together. Even the cast has commented on the chemistry between the couple.

Waking up to: Twilight Comic-Con Recap
Thursday was the first day of Comic Con International in San Diego. The big guests of the convention are the Twilight saga kids, who generally cause commotion and enormous crowds of fans everywhere they go. Thursday was no exception. In case you missed it, here is a recap of the most noteworthy moments and revelations from Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Ashley Greene, and New Moon director Chris Weitz:
Two brand-new, exclusive clips of New Moon were featured during the mid-afternoon panel for the film.
The first scene portrays Jacob and Bella when she is first learning to ride her motorcycle. As she picks up speed, she has multiple hallucinations of Edward and eventually crashes. Jacob saves her by, somewhat unnecessarily, removing his shirt to stop the blood and they share a moment. Can’t imagine the Twilight fans had any complaints from this scene. Read more...

The film is expected to begin production in less than a month, and Slade is already hard at work scouting potential locations for a few choice scenes.

"Everyone looks gorgeous and deliciously lifeless," Heyerdahl says. Release the Volturi tease now, Summit! (Or, at least at Comic-Con.)
As for Heyerdahl (Supernatural, Sanctuary, Stargate: Atlantis), I like where his head is at for his role:
"Here's how I approach him. When Marcus is brought in, he's there against his will. He and his love tried to leave an awfully long time ago." Read more...

We know, we know. Breaking Dawn is the fourth Twilight movie. And none of us have even seen the second one yet. And they haven't even even started filming Eclipse yet. But we're still extremely curious. Are you?
Of course we can't wait to see all the Twilight movies, but Breaking Dawn might be the one everyone is most excited for. It's the last one, as far as we know right now. But it's also when the true love story between Edward Cullen and Bella Swan occurs. And lucky for us (and everyone else), Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have already signed on to do the movie.

Twilight and New Moon News for July 11

(First of all, don't forget that today is Free Slurpee Day at participating 7-11 stores! During free Slurpee day 2009, 7-Eleven customers will be able to enjoy a free 7.11 ounce Slurpee. That's a fairly small serving, so you won't be overcome by a sugar coma or anything, and the intent is for new customers to fall in love with the cool treat. Most of the 7-Eleven stores will be running the promotion, but you might want to check ahead (just in case).)

What scene will Comic Con footage from 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' show?
At last year's Comic-Con event, Twilight was featured in the Summit Entertainment panel (which included Stephenie Meyer, director Catherine Hardwicke, and stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Edi Gathegi, Cam Gigandet, and Rachelle Lefevre).
At the event, a special feature included a preview scene from the film (seen below), which turned out to be the ballet studio scene.
The ballet studio scene was one of the final sequences in Twilight - and it was one of the most fearsome of the book Twilight. Having teased toward that scene in the prologue, in many ways, the book was building up to that scene for a lot of its volume. Read more...

Is this how you imagined Renesmee in 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn?'
It is very natural for a parent to find their child to be the most beautiful thing on the entire planet. That impossible beauty, that "most pure" love is almost universally what happens when a child comes into the world.

[*Warning* this article contains spoilers about Breaking Dawn]

In Breaking Dawn, Bella Cullen's description of her child was no less sentimental. Said she, "Her tiny face was so absolutely perfect that it stunned me. She was even more beautiful than her father. Unbelievable. Impossible" (see Chapter 19, page 372).

Will the tints in 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' be gray?
We've already discussed the tints in The Twilight Saga: New Moon (directed by Chris Weitz) as compared to Twilight (directed by Catherine Hardwicke). Now that filming for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is set to pick up shortly, though, it couldn't hurt to look at what we might be able to expect with that as well.
While Twilight had a bluish tint and New Moon looks to be a little more resilient gold, a look at director David Slade's prior works (30 Days Of Night and Hard Candy) might suggest that Eclipse will be gray. Read more...

Will Fast Twilight Production Time After New Moon Impact the Twilight Saga?
With the Twilight sequel New Moon about to hit theatres in November and online buzz about the Twilight Saga gaining momentum, recent confirmations for Eclipse and Breaking Dawn, the third and fourth films in the Twilight Saga, have already been announced with Eclipse set to begin shooting on August 17 in Vancouver, BC. Given the popularity of the Stephenie Meyer penned Twilight Saga novels, Summit Entertainment has clearly jumped at the chance to strike while the Twilight iron is still hot. But the filming schedule of the entire Twilight Saga is underway at breakneck speed, with each film Twilight adaptation shooting back-to-back-to-back. Given how fast we’ll be seeing the entire Twilight Saga come to life on the big screen, is there a chance that speed may forsake some of the magic of the novels and what Twilight fans want to see in the translations? Is it reasonable to wonder what type of impact the fast production schedule will have on the Twilight films? What about the Twilight buzz and momentum in between movies? Read more...
