Vanity Fair: Eclipse the Movie vs. Lunar Eclipse

December 21, 2010

Vanity Fair noticed all the hub bub on Twitter about Eclipse (lunar or otherwise):

“This morning, around 3 a.m. E.S.T., much of North America dragged themselves out of bed to glimpse a terribly inconvenient lunar eclipse. By all accounts, the moon appeared round, and the sky dark. To be fair: our dispassionate recapitulation of today’s celestial phenomenon does not reflect the fervor expressed on Twitter and in the nation’s newspapers for the lunar eclipse. It’s an excitement and intensity that, in our opinion, appears to be completely independent of the quality of the spectacle itself. In fact, the incessant frenzy recalls the fanaticism surrounding the year’s other significant eclipse: the third installation of the Twilight movie series. See if you can tell whether each viewer comment describes the lunar eclipse or Twilight: Eclipse”

They then put out a series of quotes from Twitter that talk about “Eclipse”. You have to then guess if the quotes mean the movie or the celestial event. Check it out here.

Forbes: Highest Earning Actors 2010: Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart

December 21, 2010

Forbes has ranked the highest ranked actors in 2010 based on the amount of money that their films made. As you might expect Leo DeCaprio and Johnny Depp are on top of the list; however, after that, the list is heavily represented by actors who are under 30. Robert Pattinson comes in number 7 and Kristen Stewart comes in number 8.

According to Forbes:

Robert Pattinson: $749 million
The Twilight films have been perennial earners, so it’s no surprise to see Pattinson on this list. He ranks above his costar Kristin Stewart thanks to Remember Me, a weepy romance that earned a healthy $56 million on an estimated budget of $16 million. Pattinson’s next film is an adaptation of the bestselling book Water for Elephants.

Kristen Stewart: $698 million
Like her costar Pattinson, Stewart starred in a non-Twilight film this year. It didn’t perform very well though. The Runaways brought in only $4.7 million. The finalTwilight book, Breaking Dawn, has been divided into two films that are both sure to be big earners. The first hits theaters in November 2011.

Twilight Saga Still Cyber Scam Bait For the Unsuspecting

December 21, 2010

It seems that Twilight and promises of free downloads are ripe for getting a virus or worse.

“‘Twilight’ brings out cyber bloodsuckers

As with “Harry Potter,” cybercriminals were ready to feast on the popularity generated by the “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.”

Leading up to its June 30 release, several malicious campaigns made their way around the Web preying on the widespread anticipation of the film. The antivirus maker Norton reported that more than 50 percent of the Web pages yielded by searching movie-related search terms – such as “Twilight,” Twilight Eclipse,” “Rob Pattinson” – contained malicious software.”

December 20, 2010

Kara from Twilight Moms was able to interview Ashley Greene at the New York City DVD signing.

“Me: “There have been many rumors about Alice’s visions- can you tell me what they are really about?”

Ashley: “No! But I can tell you that there are so many visions and so many ways to interpret them- Bill Condon and I sat down to go over many of the options- I’ve had a lot of input on them- but I can’t tell you the details yet….”

Me: “Warrior’s Heart- it was filmed quite a while ago- do you know if it will be released soon?’

Ashley: “I know!  They haven’t told me when it will come out- but it’s been a while- we filmed it right after Twilight- hopefully it will be here soon”

Me: “As Alice- have you had fun planning the wedding?”

Ashley: “Yes! What we have worked on so far looks amazing- I’ve seen drawings of the dress and it’s beautiful- it’s really lovely- don’t worry! It’s going to be a great scene when it’s all done”

Salt Lake Magazine: Confessions of a Newborn Vampire

December 20, 2010

Salt Lake Magazine had a chance to interview Jodelle Ferland while she was in town signing Eclipse DVD’s.

“BH: “How has your life changed since Eclipse?”

JF: “Well, my life has changed quite a bit, and in a lot of ways it stays the same. I’m still just, you know, a normal girl who enjoys hanging out with friends doing regular things. But, I mean I wouldn’t be here if it hadn’t been for Twilight. I’ve been doing all sorts of conventions, meeting a lot of fans. It’s just so much fun.”

BH: “Do you have any memorable moments from being on Eclipse?”

JF: “Well, I think honestly the whole movie was pretty memorable. Actually, I did have my 15th birthday on set, so that was pretty cool.”

BH: “Did you get a cake?”

JF: “Yeah I did. I had a birthday cake on set. And I mean that is pretty much every girls dream to have,” she smiles and laughs, “a birthday party on the set of Twilight. I was so happy that I got to do that. That was really fun.”
