Pumpkin Carving Contest Deadline Extended
October 25, 2009
Not being a champion pumpkin carver, I didn’t realize that people tend to do these things last second ( like October 30th)! So to give everyone a fair chance at our contest we are extending the deadline to 11;59pm est October 30, 2009. See below for details!
The Lexicon is sponsoring its own Halloween pumpkin carving contest. Ours isn’t limited to just Rob, or even Twilight. We want pumpkins that depict the entire world of Stephenie Meyer: Twilight, The Host, even Stephenie herself. Send a photo of your World of Stephenie Meyer pumpkin to [email protected] by 11:59pm est October 30, 2009. We’ll announce the winners on Halloween. We’ll give out prizes from our Cafe Press store to one person in each of the following categories: Best Book Cover(s), Best Movie Related, and Most Unique.
The Movie Fanatic: Profile Chris Weitz
October 25, 2009
The Movie Fanatic, one of the very few websites to clue into the Twilight phenomena early on has a great article addressing the different hurdles that Chris Weitz faces as director. TMF always provides great analysis and more than the brief soundbite commentary.
“In a recent interview, it was noted that “Chris Weitz, who also writes and produces, sometimes with his brother Paul, had done a fantasy adaptation in 2007’s “The Golden Compass” and felt a connection to the material.” Also, there is one particular segment of the moviegoing public that Summit wants to impress – the male audience who have been lukewarm (another word might be hostile) in their reception of Twilight.
In this article, tMF will also attempt to find some answers to three specific questions: Can he make a difference and give the fans what they really want? Can he entice this ‘hostile’ group into watching New Moon? Can Weitz level the playing field between Taylor Lautner and the very popular Robert Pattinson?”
Check out the rest on TMF.

New Quileute Wolf Pack Website
October 25, 2009
A fast five minutes on Google and you realize that there are tons of Twilight websites out there. We always have said that there is something for everyone out there.
Every now and then, one catches our eye that is different and we give it a plug. We’ve done this for a bunch of actor/character based websites. The last site we did this for was TwiFans which was Twilight based social networking.
So now we found a new one called Quileute Wolf Pack, as far as we know its the first site to focus on the wolf pack as characters first. So give them a look and check them out. Best wishes to Kat and her crew, welcome to the neighborhood!
Chris Weitz Audio Interview: Sc-Fi TV Zone

Chaske Spencer in Vanity Fair
October 24, 2009
VF.com: How did you get the part of Wolf Pack leader, Sam Uley?
Chaske Spencer: It was one of the weirdest auditions I’ve done. We put it on tape, and usually the process is: you meet the casting director, get a callback, then you meet the producer and director. This just went straight from tape. I auditioned for all of the parts of the Wolf Pack; they called me back and told me what part I had. Also, I didn’t really know who [the character] was because I didn’t know much about Twilight. Then I figured it out and said, “Wow, that’s a really good part.” It’s amazing. I’ve never gotten a part like that before.
Once you got the part, did you go back and read the books?
Yeah, I started with New Moon. Then I started dabbling in Eclipse because there’s a lot of back-story to my character. I really tried to relate to those characters, do my job … and then go to the gym.
