According to Reuters:“When it comes to some of the biggest movies of the decade, Guinness World Records has it covered. JJ Abram’s re-imagination of Star Trek made it into this year’s book as the “Most Downloaded Movie Trailer (24 Hours)” with 1.8 million downloads on Apple.com in the first day and more than five million in its first five days of release. Twilight, directed by Catherine Hardwicke, has captured the hearts and wallets of millions while claiming the record for “Highest-Grossing Movie By A Female Director”.

Twilight Saga Twitter Round Up: David Slade Praises the Crew
September 15, 2009
David Slade is tweeting away again. He sounds in better spirits than he did the last time. He’s again paying homage to the unsung heroes behind the scenes. This time it is J.W. who David refers to as the “King of grips”.
In case you were wondering what exactly it is that a grip does, Wikipedia has a good description. You can easily see why this position is key in any movie, especially a stunt heavy one.
“Grips also satisfy rigging needs on set…More advanced rigs can include working with pulleys, steel cable or trusses. Grips are also called on to rig picture cars on process trailers and placing camera and lights all around the vehicle to achieve driving shots…When shooting interiors day-for-night on location, grips need to cut all the daylight entering onto set. If the scene is “blocked” or staged away from windows or other openings to the outside, the light may be simply blacked out with cloth or plastic sheeting…Grips are also responsible for safety on the set as it relates to the force of gravity. Insofar as stands, ladders, scaffolds, and overhead rigs are properly installed, grips are charged with making them safe because the other crew members will invariably have to climb on, walk around, or otherwise negotiate the different grip set-ups. As regards legal statute, the key grip may even be held liable for injuries that happen on set, especially if the injury is the cause of something falling down onto somebody…”
Other David tweets include:
“Forrest again today, tomorrow we do wolf shots, saw some great wolf tests today, early stages developed from New Moon wolves.”
and
“Worked w/entire Cullen family today. @peterfacinelli borrowed my camera, took my picture being strangled by Jackson, will upload later…”

Mullet to the Bob, here’s how.
September 15, 2009
Kristen Stewart still has her mullet (We’re guessing that she can’t change the style and color because she may yet have some work to do on The Runaways.) but the other night it was pinned up into a chique, faux bob.
In case you were wondering how to duplicate the look, here’s how.
Jodelle Ferland Excited About Eclipse
September 15, 2009
The New York Beauty Examiner was able to ask Jodelle Ferland a few questions:
“I understand that right after the news broke that you had joined the Twilight family, fans went crazy and you got some intense reactions from your friends. Has the hype died down at all for you?
Yeah. I mean at first everybody was going crazy and everyone was congratulating me. They’re still all really excited and it hasn’t…no, they haven’t calmed down that much. *laughs* I have a Twitter account, and that hasn’t calmed down at all, I’m still getting the same amount of followers. Everyday. On the first couple of days I was getting A LOT, and now its not quite as many everyday. But it’s been about the same pace. My friends have calmed down a little bit, but they are still really really really excited.”

New Moon Debuts in Knoxville For Charity
September 15, 2009
We finally have firm details on the event in Knoxville that came to light a couple of months ago. This isn’t a full-blown Hollywood premiere, rather it is a charity benefit, something that the theater involved has a long history in doing.
According to organizers:
“Regal has annually presented major-film premieres in Knoxville since 2003 to benefit Variety – The Children’s Charity of Eastern Tennessee, and interest in “New Moon” has been unprecedented…”By far, this is going to be our most successful event,” said Greg Dunn, president and CEO of Regal Entertainment Group, who estimated the benefit screening will raise in excess of $400,000 for Variety, a Regal-founded organization that aids numerous local and area children’s charities.”
There are some very specific details listed here on how you can enter a lottery for two tickets that cost $100 a piece (Remember it’s a high price because the money is going to a children’s hospital). It would seem that the lottery system is in place to prevent scalpers from running wild.
TY to the multiple people who emailed in.
Hot Topic Has Brand New New Moon Merchandise
September 14, 2009
A lot of people have told us at the recent conventions that as much as they love the actors, they didn’t as one person put it, “..want Peter Facinelli’s head sandwiched between my breasts.” So it looks like there’s a great solution in this new shirt. You can see how it has the earth-toned color palette that Chris Weitz spoke about in his interview with the fansites.
What do you prefer, an abstract design or a shirt featuring the actors?
