“We wrote ‘Meet Me On the Equinox’ to reflect the celestial themes and motifs that run throughout the Twilight series, and we wanted to capture that desperate feeling of endings and beginnings that so strongly affect the main characters,” said Death Cab for Cutie bassist Nick Harmer. “This song marks the first attempt that Death Cab for Cutie has ever made at contributing new, unreleased material for a film.  It just seems a perfect synergy that a band from the Northwest would create a song for a series of novels set in the Northwest.  We are not only proud to be a part of the Twilight legacy but also honored to join so many other fantastic artists that have leant their amazing creativity to this soundtrack.”
The Twilight Saga: New Moon Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is set to release on Monday, October 19th.  The Twilight Saga: New Moon arrives in theatres on Friday, November 20th in the US and UK.

The RingCon Report: Edi Gathegi and Christian Serratos

RingCon is an annual convention in Germany that is a fantasy convention.  It has stars appear from movies like The Lord of the Rings, Twilight, and other fantasy based films/projects.

This year Edi Gathegi and Christian Serratos were in attendance. The German site, Forks Bloodbank, has written up a report.

“Edi stated: It happens very rarely for an actor to be part of such a successful movie and it’s definitely a blessing that all these doors are opening up ’cause you’re part of this franchise. It’s great and I want to relate to Kyle’s words, I’m in Germany, get to meet friends and Twilight fans. Twilight fans are amongst the best fans ever. They develop a passion for the story and support us. Everyone tells you that they are addicted to the books and love them and that they read through them in two days.” Christian’s private live hasn’t really changed since Twilight. “I still have the same friends but it’s obvious how great it is to be here and meet all the great fans!” It’s the first visit to Germany for the three of them and they all talk about how much they like it here.”

Daniel Cudmore Attends The Age of Stupid Premiere

According to the Vancouver Sun, is about, “The drama-documentary-animation hybrid film [The Age of Stupid] is the latest from Franny Armstrong, director of McLibel, and stars the Oscar-nominated Pete Postlethwaite as an old man living in 2055. As the man watches footage from 2008, he asks why people didn’t act to stop climate change before it was too late.”

Daniel Cudmore walked the the green carpet at the film’s opening in Vancouver and had this to say,

“In Canada we’re behind the times and it’s alarming,” Cudmore said. “You need hard facts to shake people out of their coma. I think young people fear they won’t be heard, but that’s totally false. We’ve got a strong voice.”
