Reminder: Reelz Channel Ultimate Team Fans

Reelz channel asked us to remind the fans about their current Ultimate fan contest. According to Reelz:

“In our search for the Ultimate Team Jacob and Team Edward Twilight Fans, we’ve received an impressive assortment of creative entries. First there were poems and songs gathered at TwiCon. Since then, we’ve received artwork, essays, and photographs of elaborate displays perhaps best described as shrines.

With 10 days (and two weekends) left before the search deadline, we wanted to showcase a few of the items we’ve received — and remind you to get in your submission by October 19, 2009. WARNING: As the door sign on one snapshot we received cautioned, “You are about to enter the presence of an overly obsessed Twilight fan. Be prepared for ear-piercing shrieks and out-of-control babbling about some guy named Edward Cullen.” Ditto that for a guy named Jacob Black.”

Ashley Greene on The Twilight Review

The Twilight review snagged an interview with Ashley Greene.

TSR.com: The various mediums of acting can have very different requirements and advantages, what medium do you prefer to work in film or TV and why?

AG: I like both. There’s good and bad stuff in both. For example, films are cool, you can see all the producer’s work and you can go to awesome places like BC for the Twilight Saga, for example, but you have to be apart of your family, friends and people you love for months. But that also means I have fun traveling around the world and I have great great great 3-months-vacays. Now, TV… is cool. Crew and cast are so awesome, is like work with your 2nd family because you know EVERYONE. But it takes more time to film and is like high school schedule and blah blah blah. So… I guess both are cool, but I’m more into movies than get a job in some TV series.

See it all on the Twilight Review. It came to our attention after this article was posted that the interview was conducted with an impostor who duped the Twilight Review. It is our understanding that the matter is under investigation by Ashley Greene’s legal team.

He then gave out another array of great photos. We can’t remember who exactly said it on Twitter, but someone suggested that David put all these great behind the scenes photos and more in a book. Seems like a possible idea to us. what do you think?

The Twitters supposedly run by Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Kellan Lutz, Nikki Reed are all fakes. Ways to tell: mislabeling of photos stating where & when the pics were taken, Tweeting while clearly performing , all created around the same date, claiming they are posting personal photos when in reality are actually recycled paparazzi shots, official sites of actors don’t list a Twitter, etc. Also if they were real, Mr. Uber Twilight Twitter himself, Peter Facinelli, would no doubt mention it.

Meet the Volturi Down Under

Cameron Bright, Charlie Bewley, and Christopher Heyerdahl (who play Alec, Demitri, and Marcus) were at a convention in Australia this weekend and had time for an interview with Movie Mazzupial.

“Christopher: It was great fun, that’s the wonderful thing about being inside a studio. Certainly the majority of the Volturi scenes for New Moon were done inside a studio and in there you enter a cloistered, inner-sanctum where we’re protected on all sides. So all the pandemonium that happens outside bounces off this protective wall of the studio, so it was really easy to just do the work. But as soon as we left the studio and went outside to restaurants or hotels, what have you, the pandemonium was definitely there.

MM: What were some of the difficulties playing the role? I mean, all of your characters are essentially pretty evil, was that too hard to get into?

Charlie: I don’t know, it was fairly hard. The biggest trouble I found with my character was just his complete desire to want to let it rip, you know? You are bestowed with these powers of speed and strength and, you know, Demetri has a talent for tracking as well. I found I had to contain myself during the scenes and not just completely defy the script, whip around and go round ripping people’s heads off.

Christopher: (Laughs) I had no idea that was going on in your head, that’s amazing. You scare me now (laughs).”

Check out the rest of the interview here.

Black Book Magazine Features Twilight Stars

Black Book Magazine has two featurettes on Twilight stars.

First up is Anna Kendrick sporting a sultry almost retro Ann Margaret look. When asked how she felt about all the attention she is getting for her new film, Up In The Air, which co-stars George Clooney, Anna said:

“I’m allowing myself to think about the possibility that this could be a big deal, because I think the worst thing would be to get caught off guard.”

You can catch the rest of Anna’s article here.

Next is Jamie Campbell Bower who has three major items coming up in teh near future: New Moon, The Prisnoer with Ian McKellan, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. When asked what it was like being on the set of New Moon, Jamie responded:

“I was terrified.I was like, Oh my God, what am I doing? Am I saying the right things? Am I being cool? I don’t know if I’m cool! These cats better like me!”

See the rest of Jamie’s article here.

Boo Boo Stewart How I Got Cast

Sunday Morning Herald Interviews Robert Pattinson

Sydney, Australia’s Sunday Morning Herald has an interview done with Rob back at the Cannes Film Festival that they are now allowed to release. Rob covers it all from Twilight to upcoming projects with Hugh Jackman:

“I don’t really need to do stuff to relax or get away because all my interests are part of my job. Like I’ll watch movies to be inspired to do other movies. I read books to be inspired. I listen to music to be inspired to write music. Everything I do is to create something.”

Pattinson’s next film is Unbound Captives. He met Jackman in Japan recently for a little bonding ahead of the film. “We went karaoke singing,” he laughs. “We were singing Abba songs, it was pretty funny. It was sort of an Abba song sing-off, you know, last man standing.”

Who won? “I think he did, only because he can drink more than me and still sing in tune. He’s a cool guy and I’m really looking forward to that film.”
