The Twilight Saga Makes Lists Galore!

t’s in inevitable that just before Christmas each year top ten lists come out. This year because the decade is turning their are decade lists on top of the yearly lists. We’ve already covered Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner making their MTV Woman/Man of the Year lists, Taylor Lautner being named Moviefone’s Entertainer of the Year, and the Twilight Saga books and Stephenie Meyer being named author of the decade by the Baltimore Sun. Now the actors and the books are hitting several others.

Guinness Book of World Records: “Twilight, which is growing into a massive franchise, received the record for Highest-Grossing Movie by a Female Director – Catherine Hardwicke.”

Amazon.Com: Top selling books and top selling author of the decade.  The books come in at  3. Breaking Dawn , 4. Twilight, 5. Eclipse, 7. New Moon. Stephenie Meyer comes in at number 2.  It’s interesting to note that the DVD of Twilight didn’t make the cut. Given the possibility of three more movies on the horizon, the DVD will probably make the cut next decade.

Time Magazine: People Who Mattered: Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. In summing up why they made the list, Time states, “They’re also not generically beautiful. God knows they’re hot enough, but they look interesting too. Intelligent. Slightly askew. You don’t just want to look at them or sleep with them; you want to talk to them. Like the vampire Pattinson plays onscreen, you can see that once upon a time they were merely human, just like us.” They are number 15 on the list. You can vote for Rob and Kristen and voice whether you think as newsmakers they should be considered higher or lower.

Twilight Saga Stars Other Projects on the Horizon

So out of these, which one are you looking forward to the most?

Jackson Rathbone in Dread.

“Rathbone describes Dread as a Kinsey-esque study of fear. “It has those base elements: What are you afraid of? Why are those urban legends urban legends? Why are they told over and over again? Because, those ideas are scary. There have been many documented cases of a complete stranger murdering many people and getting away with it and no one ever knowing why. It’s very rare that you’ll find a film or a piece of literature that delves into the mind of someone that’s been affected by that and what they do to get over it. We all have something in our lives that causes that dread, that inspired it and that’s kind of what we’re trying to get to the root of in this film. Barker’s story did it with such lyrical prose. It’s just beautiful and the imagery is haunting, it really is. We filmed scenes that just made a lot of people sick. Not just because of the gruesome element, but the idea of those situations where you’re like, ‘Yeah, if I was in that situation what would I do?’ And you know what you do a lot of times and you just wouldn’t ever want to think about it.”

Anna Kendrick in Up In The Air

“Q: What did you enjoy most about your character, Natalie?

Anna: I love that she’s unapologetically ambitious. I don’t have that and I wouldn’t really want that for myself, but I admire it so much, in her. I love that she’s independent and strong. I know that the audience really falls for her, after she completely melts down, and I love her even when she’s in her bratty mode. There was almost a desire for me to not show as much as Jason [Reitman] wanted me to show, and keep her protected and not give as much away because I feel protective of her and I wanted her to maintain her dignity. I love her, even when she’s a nightmare… I think she’s a control freak, and I think I’m a control freak, but we react to being out of our element in very different ways. I get more awkward and I fumble and things immediately fall apart. And, Natalie’s rigidity and self-awareness increases exponentially, when she feels out of control. She tries to cling to anything that she can control or keep orderly, whether it’s her hair or her computer. It makes for some very interesting comedy.”
