How would you fit Edward/RPattz into New Moon movie?
By now you’ve probably heard the news that should surprise, like, no one. (Anyone remember in “Aladdin” when the evil parrot says sarcastically “I’m going to die of not surprise?” Well, that’s how I feel.)
Anyway, so the big news…drum roll…is Summit Entertainment is going to make the fourth movie in the Twilight saga. Yes, this is a BIG SHOCK. Who would have thought the studio that’s raking in the bucks from the hit film, the studio that is shooting the second and third installments this year, would go all the way and also shoot – egads – the final flick?
Enough about that. Let’s talk about New Moon. The filmmakers and Rob Pattinson himself are making a big deal about how the largely-absent-from-the-second-book Edward will actually play a larger role in the movie version.
Let’s speculate – how do you think the film will address his absence? How will the film incorporate the star into the storyline when he’s gone for most of the book?
Twilight DVD Rocks the Sales
Looks like the little vampire movie that could is on pace to be the biggest selling DVD of the year. Of course, that’s according to a Telegraph report citing a shopping comparison firm that says “existing sales of books, DVDs and music from the series, combined with a huge amount of searches for the Twilight DVD in the past few weeks” are the factors pushing the lion-falls-in-love-with-the-lamb romance (oh, wait, it was an action flick too, right, thanks to the last scene) over the top.
What I find most interesting though from the story is learning what last year’s big DVD hit was, according to Amazon sales. Wanna guess?
OK, I’ll tell you.
“Mamma Mia.”
So the crown passes from a singing, dancing Meryl Streep to a moody, brooding girl and her dead beau.
A Whodunit: The Case of the New Moon Script
Memo to Anna Kendrick (aka Jessica) and Rob Pattinson:
You know, Anna and Rob, those scripts Summit gives you are kind of like gold. Or diamonds. Or lots and lots and lots of money. Meaning you want to keep them under lock and freaking key.
That means you don’t watch to ditch the shooting script for “New Moon” in a St. Louis garbage can. OK, fine, their fingerprints on the script. But the “New Moon” script was found by a beauty salon owner along with one for the Summit film “Memoirs,” which Rob may be starring in. Of course, they were found outside a St. Louis hotel where the cast for “Up in the Air” is staying and that cast includes Anna Kendrick who plays Jessica in the “Twilight” saga.
The beauty salon owner returned them the studio and got tickets for the premieres of both.
Who do you think did it?
Will David Slade Spill Vampire Blood?
The latest news from Summit Entertainment is that the director for the third film in the Twilight series has been chosen and it’s none other than vaunted horror film director David Slade.
This news just kind of gives me goosebumps all over when I think about the kind of havoc he could wreak with a filmic interpretation of “Eclipse.” Just imagine for a moment – what if instead of the Cullens defeating the new vampires both sets of vampires went poof, bye-bye? Ah….a vampire-free world.
Well, it’s a nice thought and I know I’m not totally crazy or whacked out in thinking it, because Slade has the pedigree to take down a harem – I mean, coven – of vampires. After all, he directed the 2007 horror flick “30 Days of night” about an Alaskan town plagued by vampires.
He knows a thing or two about vampiric extermination. Garlic, stakes, holy water, anyone? Oh, Mr. Slade, what treats have you in store for us? I, for one, cannot wait for him to just turn everything on its head.
Yours in Vampire Preparedness,
Chris
