Peter Facinelli Won’t Be Carlisle for Halloween

October 10, 2011

You can hardly blame Peter for this one. In talking to Marc Malken from E!, Peter reveals that his house needs a Twilight break.

“They’re really creative,” Facinelli recently told us while promoting Wonka Candy’s 32 Days of Wonkaween. “I wanted to be the chipmunks [from Alvin and the Chipmunks] because I have three daughters, so I thought it’d be fun for them to be the Chipettes and for me to be Dave. But you can’t control what they want to be…They always at the last minute change their costume to something else.”

So no Bella Swan duds for Luca, 14, Lola, 8, or Fiona, 4? “I think my oldest said she wanted to be a Stepford wife,” he says.

As for Facinelli, don’t expect to see him trick-or-treating as the Cullen clan’s head honcho.

“No, I’ve been doing that for the last five years,” he says. “You think Carlisle’s the easy route, but Carlisle takes hours and hours of work. I think I’m going to go as a fireman this year.”

Twilight Graphic Novel 2 Debuts Tomorrow

October 10, 2011

The Twilight Graphic novel part 2 comes out tomorrow, though we are hearing a few reports of it being on shelves in some locations today. You can get a bit of a sneak peak at it via the Brazilian Publisher. Below is the press release from Little Brown.

Yen Press, the graphic novel imprint of Hachette Book Group, announced that it will publish the eagerly-awaited second volume in the graphic novel adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight on October 11, 2011. Twilight: The Graphic Novel, Volume 2 will be released as an e-book and in hardcover for $19.99 ($22.99 CAN) with a first printing of 350,000 copies.

A visually arresting retelling of the story that has captured the hearts and minds of countless fans, Twilight: The Graphic Novel, Volume 2 contains selected text from Meyer’s original novel with illustrations by the talented Korean artist Young Kim. Kim’s unique artistic style which combines Asian and Western comic techniques are showcased in this black-and-white graphic novel with color interspersed throughout. Meyer consulted throughout the artistic process and had input on every panel.

“Knowing how beautifully Young Kim rendered the Twilight universe in the first volume, I couldn’t wait for this next one,” remarked Meyer. “Her illustrations of characters and settings gorgeously capture the world and are very close to what I saw in my mind’s eye while writing Twilight.”

 

Kurt Hassler, Yen Press Publishing Director, commented, “The first volume of the Twilight graphic novel was an utter phenomenon in the category, and the reception by Stephenie’s fans was absolutely overwhelming. It’s an incredible testament to the collaboration between Stephenie and Young Kim, and we cannot wait to be able to put the second volume into the readers’ hands!”

Jackson Rathbone Talks Training More Complex Than For Jasper in Aim High

October 10, 2011

Jackson Rathbone’s new webseries airs later this month and he is talking about how they think it’s going to be groundbreaking. Not only is it entirely web-based, but you the viewer can participate via social media. Originally slated for a summer debut, it is now scheduled for October 18th.

TeenTV: How will teens get to interact with the show on Facebook and what will appear on screen when they do it?

Jackson:  You can watch it from your Facebook account and then your pictures and profiles and writing on your “wall” will appear in the foreground or background. If you want to watch it without that aspect, you can. Your “graffiti” could be on the wall or pictures of friends and family can be in posters. . But, if you personalize it and then watch it on your friend’s computer, it’ll look different.  I want to watch it on my mom’s Facebook account. I want to see my mom in it! “Mom! You’re on TV! Look!” She doesn’t know about it yet. I’m gonna call her.

TeenTV: Jackson, what martial arts training did you do for this because you are jumping all over the place. I don’t think Jasper’s action is the same.

Jackson: Oh no it’s not. I’ve studied martial arts as a kid then I did a bit of Kung Fu and Krav Maga on The Last Airbender. Then I kept up my training here and there with these stunt guys that I became really good friends with during the making of that movie. We actually brought them in to be the choreographers and the coordinators for “Aim High”. We were lucky because these guys work on the biggest budget action films there are. They made the show look ultra-bad-ass with their choreography.

We will be using the Carmike Cinema Thoroughbred 20 in Franklin, TN. (633 Frazier Drive Franklin,TN 37064) This is the same theatre we have used for the last three events in Nashville.

Tickets are $15.00 each which covers the cost of admission to the movie as well as the opportunity to win one of our many prizes. We have spent over the last year gathering autographs, photos, merchandise, jewelry, books, and every other type of Twilight related memorabilia we could get our hands on from many of the companies who support Twilight products. Hot Topic, Infinite Jewelry, and Creation Entertainment have all donated generously to the event. There won’t be a gift bag. Instead, every person in attendance will win a prize, whether it’s an autographed copy of Breaking Dawn from Stephenie Meyer, tickets to a convention, T-shirts, or decorative buttons or pins. Whatever it may be, we promise that everyone will win a prize!


Doors will open by 8 am. Seats are on a first come, first served basis. Concessions will be open, so give yourself time to get your seat and your popcorn. Our give away will begin no later than 8:45 am.

Tickets can be ordered through Paypal by filling out the form below. You can use your Paypal account or a credit card to order your tickets.

Following that within five business days, you will receive another e-mail from us with all the specifics of the event that you will need to print off and bring with you on Nov. 19 to the movie theatre. You will exchange this confirmation e-mail for printed tickets at the theatre box office.

We’re very excited for the event and can’t wait to see you all there! Lori and Shelley (Alphie and Something Blue) will be in Nashville for the event. Be sure to get your tickets early so you don’t miss out on all the amazing prizes we have to give away!

NOTE: There seems to be an issue with IPHONE users completing their transactions via PayPal. We are sorry for the inconvenience. We are not sure if it extends to IPad and other smart phones. We are working on it. In the interim we recommend using traditional PCs or MACs.

Phineas and Ferb – Spoof Twilight in “That’s the Spirit/The Curse of Candace.”

October 8, 2011

If you have kids, chances are they are hooked on the Disney Channel’s Phineas and Ferb. Well they did a Twilight spoof. According to BSC Kids, “Anna Paquin will be voicing Kristen, while Stephen will be Jared. Michael J. Fox will be the handy werewolf with Michael Douglas will be starring in the other half. Pretty exciting for one Disney show to have all these stars lined up. However, this show has a huge following for a reason and it looks like that will be kept up with for a while.”

Nikki Reed Talks to Elle Magazine:Fingerpainting and Rats

October 8, 2011

Nikki Reed talks to Elle about fashion, Twilight, and her post Twilight life.

ELLE: How do you define your style?
NR:Well, clearly, I like to wear what’s comfortable. That’s my first instinct, to always go with what’s comfortable. I’m really into Elizabeth and James. That’s what I’m wearing right now. I feel like it fits my body right or just loose enough to be right. And my earrings are from Tacori.

ELLE: With the Twilight Saga ending, what does your post-Twilight life look like?
NR: Life after Twilight has consisted of me, honestly, figuring out what direction I want to go in, who I am, what kind of films I want to make—or if I want to make films, or TV, or work on a novel. That’s what Twilight has actually done, afforded me time to sit back and think for a second, ‘What do I want to do?’ Focusing on the things that make me feel unique or different in any way is kind of what I want to do right now.

ELLE: Do you have industry mentors helping you make those choices?
NR: I do. Nia Vardalos is a wonderful lady. And Rita Wilson, Holly Hunter, Catherine Hardwick. Those are all women that I aspire to be like. Women that focus more on what’s going on up here [in the mind] and have very, normal, grounded lives. They can make great movies and go to Starbucks, and no one cares. That’s what I want.
