Video: The Chaos of the Red Carpet – Nikki, Taylor, and Rob

We get asked all the time what it’s like running interviews on the red carpet at the premier.  This video is a combination of several sites trying to get interviews with Nikki Reed, Taylor Lautner, and Robert Pattinson.  You can hear us trying to get in multiple questions and it just doesn’t happen!

Breaking Dawn Still #1 At Box Office

For those of you who are interested in the numbers, Breaking Dawn Part 1 took in another $5.5 million this last weekend and managed to stay on top at the movies over The Muppets and Hugo.  EW.Com is reporting that even though this was a significant drop from the previous weekend sales, it’s still a considerable amount when faced with the fact that this was one of the slowest weekends at the box office.  This puts the totals for Breaking Dawn Part 1 at over $247 million in the US according to BoxOfficeMojo.

We want to know from you – how many times have you seen Breaking Dawn and will you go again?

Win Bella’s Mushroom Ravioli from Bella Italia

We recieved a press release a few weeks ago explaining how Bella Italia in Port Angeles was making Bella’s Mushroom Ravioli available for purchase and would be shipped directly to your home.  They offered us a free sample, which I willingly took!  It came the very next day right to my door.  There is an option to microwave it, but I opted to use the oven.  There was enough ravioli for both me and my mother to have some for lite dinner.  The creme sauce was smooth and light.  The actual pasta was thick and stuffed full with the mushroom filling.  If you add a salad and some bread, you would have the perfect Bella Italia experience without having to go all the way to Washington.

Bella Italia has offered to let us give away a sample of the ravioli to one lucky Lexicon visitor.  Just leave a comment to this post with your favorite line from the Port Angeles section of Twilight and we will pick one winner at random on Monday night to have the pasta shipped directly to their house!

Press Release:

Bella Italia, a welcoming Italian restaurant in the picturesque town of Port Angeles, WA, today announced it is making its most famous meal – Bella’s Mushroom Ravioli™ – available as a high quality frozen entrée. The friendly restaurant, along with its signature dish, shot to fame in 2005 when it was featured as the first date setting for author Stephenie Meyer’s notorious love struck vampires, Bella and Edward. Since then, guests have flocked to the restaurant from around the globe to dine on the ravioli, and now anyone will be able to enjoy an authentic “bite” at home.

“When Stephanie Meyer was working on her first book, she called our restaurant to ask about menu items, and we were running mushroom ravioli as our special,” said Neil Conklin, owner of Bella Italia, located on Washington State’s Olympic Peninsula where the vampire book series is set.”That dish is what made it into the book, as Bella orders it on their first date. Ever since then, we’ve had travelers from all over the world. We’ve served more than 10,000 of these iconic pasta plates in the restaurant, and I wanted to make it available to everyone.”

Vampires aside, Bella’s Mushroom Ravioli™ is made with the love and tradition of all Bella Italia’s food. The new frozen entree is made from fresh, all natural ingredients and heat-and-eat ready. The 20-ounce entrée generously serves two and features mushroom ravioli in a creamy besciamella sauce with rich mushrooms. Each entrée will be available in convenient plastic microwaveable containers, which can be heated in the microwave or oven.

Bella’s Mushroom Ravioli ($10.99 MSRP) will be available for purchase in early November 2011, just in time for the much anticipated release of the fourth vampire movie installment. The product will be sold at select grocery retailers nationwide and direct to consumer online at www.bellaitaliapa.com.

Notably, a portion of all Bella’s Mushroom Ravioli™ proceeds will benefit the Quileute Tribal School and Forks High School. “Every ravioli dish sold will help two local schools I am proud to say I support. The teachers have done so much for our community, building a positive place for children to learn and grow,” says Conklin.

Bella Italia plans to offer additional frozen entrées down the road – all meals will feature the restaurant’s most popular dishes and showcase Italian fare inspired by Pacific Northwest ingredients and cuisine. Additional details are available online at BellaItalia.Com

Breaking Dawn Countdown: Chh-Chhh-Chh-Changes to the Script

So can you believe that Laura is now counting down to movie number two over on her regular every-other-Thursday column over at Movies.com? This week she covers new material not found in the books that was added to the script.

Apologies to David Bowie for this week’s title, but there were — as with any book-to-screen adaptation — several differences between the book and what was portrayed on screen in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1. Now, certainly no one expects every scene exactly as written in a novel to make it to the screen; inevitably things need to be condensed or left out all together. On the other hand, sometimes there is material that was never in the books to begin with that makes it onto the screen. The question is, given cuts, how effective is this new material when fans feel very protective of the original source?

The first major insertion of new material that leaps to mind in Breaking Dawn: Part 1 is the presence of Irina of the Denali Coven at Bella and Edward’s wedding. As every Twilight fan knows, Irina sets some major wheels into motion in the second half of the novel Breaking Dawn. Since the Denali Coven and their interaction with Laurent wasn’t focused on in New Moon, it left something of a gaping plot hole that had to be addressed. It was interesting to see screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg and director Bill Condon handle this dilemma. They deftly had Irina react to Seth’s presence at the wedding, have a flashback to Laurent, establish Irina’s romantic ties to him, and then have Irina storm off. That’s a lot of material to cover in roughly ninety seconds of film time, but they managed it. By doing so, they set the plot for Breaking Dawn: Part 2 securely on course.

Lookout Lionsgate, You’re Not the Only One Who Wants to Merge With Summit

Recently it was reported that Summit and Lionsgate were in talks for an upcoming merger. Now it lookslike there is a new player at the table.

According to Bloomsberg News:

Colony Capital LLC, owner of the Miramax film library, is in talks to acquire a stake in Summit Entertainment LLC, maker of the “Twilight” vampire movies, two people with knowledge of the situation said.

Colony, the private-equity firm led by Tom Barrack, initially sought the stake in Summit held by hedge fund Rizvi Traverse Management LLC and others, said one of the people, who declined to speak publicly because the talks are preliminary. The parties are also discussing combining Summit and Miramax, leaving Summit management in charge, the people said.

The Colony interest creates competition for Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. (LGF), which is in talks to acquire Summit. Lions Gate, the studio behind “Saw” and the Tyler Perry comedies, resumed discussions with Summit that broke down in the past over price and control issues, three people with knowledge of the situation said this week.

Like we said before, no matter what way these things pan out, the only certainty is that it’s going to make life around here interesting!
