Sequels
found on StephenieMeyer.com:
SUMMIT ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCES TWILIGHT SEQUEL - NEW MOON
Los Angeles, CA November 22, 2008 — Summit Entertainment announced today that the studio is officially moving forward with the production of NEW MOON, the second installment of its filmed franchise TWILIGHT, the action-packed, modern day vampire love story. The movie will be based on the second novel in author Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series titled, New Moon. The first movie in the TWILIGHT franchise, the self-titled TWILIGHT, arrived in theaters this weekend to sold-out showings.
Stephenie Meyer stated, "I don't think any other author has had a more positive experience with the makers of her movie adaptation than I have had with Summit Entertainment. I'm thrilled to have the chance to work with them again on NEW MOON."
Starring Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, TWILIGHT tells the story of 17-year-old Bella Swan who moves to the small town of Forks, Washington to live with her father, and becomes drawn to Edward Cullen, a pale, mysterious classmate who seems determined to push her away. But neither can deny the attraction that pulls them together...even when Edward confides that he and his family are vampires. Their unorthodox romance puts her in physical danger when Edward's nemesis comes to town and sets his sights on Bella.

The day after- what's being said:
I go to Pink is the New Blog as well as Perez and here is what Trent had to say:
I was VERY surprised at how much I liked the cast. It was weird seeing the characters in the flesh … and I honestly felt that every character was properly realized. Kristen Stewart makes a perfect Bella Swan, I think. For me, she nailed this part. Robert Pattinson was a very good Edward, I think. Some folks thought he was cheesy but most of the way that Edward acts in the book is cheesy (and, it must be said, that R. Pattz’s hair has never looked better, like, ever … I will say, tho, that Edward in the film looked like Brandon Walsh from Beverly Hills, 90210 circa 1993 while his voice sounded like Luke Perry, same time period.). In fact, I found most of the books very cheesy in that teen romance sort of way … the movie did a very good job of honoring that tween cheesiness. Those of you who find fault in corny aspects of the movie have to look to the book to place blame. I was worried that the dazzling scene would be really bad but they ended up handling it very well. Sure, Edward looked like a go-go boy dancer waring too much body glitter at Studio 54 but it was apropos for the scene, I think. While I can’t speak for anyone else, my gut tells me that the folks who do not like the film merely love the book so much that nothing could measure up. As, I think, an objective reader/watcher who isn’t overly swayed by emotion, I found that the movie did a great job of bringing the book to life. My only complaint with the film lies with the music … the music used thruout the movie was horrible! So bad. The only bit of music I liked was Edward’s piano playing … the garish guitar motif that kept popping up thruout the film was annoying.
Jes: I love the 90210 comparison! I think that overall, looking at blogs and such, that we've all found faults with the film - but most also found the good in it too - being that it is the book and really that is where the cheese factors come in. Yay - I agree with Perez, definitely more sequels are to come - the intended age market for the film is loving it and will go back for more and more it seems.

Perez, we feel your pain!
Okay, I read way too much of Perez. but this is what he said about watching Twilight:
"We really liked it!
We didn't LOVE it, but it was more than "so so" and just a "like."
The chick that plays Bella was super annoying but Robert Pattinson definitely lives up to the hype. He carries the film - in more ways than one.
We wish the movie was a bit longer, though. But they probably left us wanting more on purpose.
Sequels!"
This is Alison: Kristin really was awful/annoying. I don't know that I would say Rob carried the film, but then again, if not him, who? He was by far better than Kristin, and I know he could do better if give a chance/better director. Cheers.

Rob was OnAir with Ryan Seacrest this week- HERE ( He actually comes across quite well on radio!)...It sounds like Ryan actually read the book too. (edit: I just finished listening to the interview, it's actually like 20min long- but interesting, Ryan tried to give Rob some counseling towards the end)
Rob was on ELLEN it airs this friday- but ET has a clip HERE He is really adorable in the interview.

Rob Quote of the Day
"My attitude from the beginning has been, 'If you start failing, do not start going on reality TV shows.'"
Now I have to say, I WOULD watch a Rob reality series- just to see how people react to his wackiness in everyday dealings.

SM Quote of the Day about Rob
MTV: And did any of the stars have differing ideas from yours?
Meyer: A little bit. With Rob [Pattinson], we sat down to talk about Edward's character before we started filming. It wasn't an argument, but we actually disagreed on his character. I'd be like, "This is how it is," and he'd be like, "No, it's this way." And the funny thing about it was, here we are, arguing about a fictional character. Yet, in the performance, he did what he wanted, and it turned out how I wanted it.

Not that any of us doubted, but there is confirmation from Summit that they bought the rights to the next three novels to make future movies. Check out this article about it here.
I don't know about you, but I am not looking forward to a BD movie. Gross.

News from Stephenie's MySpace Blog
"Thursday, November 13, 2008
Tomorrow A.M.
Kind of last minute, but just a heads up. I'm going to be on Ryan Seacrest's radio show tomorrow morning around 7ish Pacific time. This is to the best of my knowledge in this moment; something important might come up in entertainment news and then I'll be cancelled like Matt Damon on Jimmy Kimmel, so no guarantees. I promise to do my part, i.e. set my alarm clock."
That's pretty big publicity...Seacrest OUT!

This Twilight Stuff Is Getting Out Of Control on BWE
This made me LOL crap out my nose.
"Now, let’s be honest, if Robert Pattinson were 10 feet away from me, and there were, say, three, four, or even twenty teenage girls between him and me, I cannot guarantee that I would not resort to violence in order to close the gap. He’s the pied piper, playing his vampirey tune, luring all our girls and women to his lair in a Hot Topic - so that we might touch his flesh and smell his lingering DNA on the Hello Kitty diary he signed."

This will only be funny if you watch the show. Or know who these people are...but here goes.
I was watching E!'s Daily 10, and there was an interview with the Twilight cast (really no new material from what we've seen, but Rob looked goooood. So did Cam... And Victoria.) Ben Lyons made a very interesting comparison that Edi Gathegi agreed with:
Sal Masekela:

Who knew Sal was a vampire?
Rob Quote of the Day
Rob talking about a girl he took a photo with at an event; she was 7 years old!
“But then she went really quiet and she was like, 'Can you bite me?' - “It wasn’t a joke...I looked at her and thought, 'Do you know what you’re saying?' There are these kinds of sexual thoughts that come out of people that they don’t even know are sexual"

I was wondering how this would go!

Say what!?!
Perez Hilton says this: Two weeks before the film even hits theaters, Twilight shows have already sold out. According to Fandango, Twilight is accounting for two-thirds of all ticket sales and more than 100 premiere screenings have already sold out. This bodes well for the teen vampire love story and its burgeoning franchise.

Twilight is EVERYWHERE!!!
VARIETY: “While Oprah didn’t jump at doing a “Twilight”-dedicated show, Ellen DeGeneres begged for it — which was fine with Summit, as she has a younger audience. Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, who plays Bella, are booked on the talkshow circuit, including the “Today” show. In November and December, more than 50 magazine features are planned, including Vanity Fair.”
It's become CRAZY trying to figure out what to post of all the Twilight hoopla and what not to!!!!
For sure go to the Entertainment Weekly site and checkout all the info about the current Twilight issue- and then go buy all three covers!!
I went today to Barnes and Noble to get a bday gift for my Godson and ended up buying the Twilight Movie Companion for myself, and I stumbled upon a Magazine that is soley dedicated to Twilight and bought that too! I told the lady who checked me out that they were all bday gifts - I was a bit embarassed to buy the "film fantasy" mag...

Baddie Quote of the Day
Q. What was the filming process like? Were there any "embarrassing" mistakes that you or the other actors made?
The first day of rehearsal, we did the baseball confrontation scene. And we were just getting a feel for each other as a group of actors, and improvising lines to loosen up, and when Carlisle asked me if I was good at baseball, I said "does a baby eat candy". Which made NO sense. I tried to cover and say "no, no, what I really said was does a baby taste like candy" but the damage was done and everyone was in stitches laughing. I think the line, "does a baby TASTE like candy?" is a really creepy line. Sometimes accidents breed great moments.

So we've had our fun with some Twilight inspired music- some of it is, shall we say, interesting...
But, I've just come across the Twilight Music Girls. Listen to them.
I think they are really good, and polished sounding!

Twilight on PITNB
So we give alot of shout-outs to Perez, but I'd like to give one to Pink is the New Blog this weekend. HERE is the blog's most recent Twilight blog-spot.
Now, this makes it seem as if the movie actually premiered in Rome in its full glory - but I am pretty sure that only 8-15min of it were actually screened - am I wrong?
