Pattinson Nearly Didn’t Do ‘Twilight’

Can you imagine the Twilight films without Robert Pattinson? I can’t. And I’m a man in his thirties who probably shouldn’t be watching the films in the first place. So I can imagine the anguish and heartbreak of teenage girls everywhere if Pattinson wasn’t in their world. But that is very nearly what happened, as...

(Almost) Confirmed: ‘Breaking Dawn’ Split Into Two – Shooting In October

Just when you think a story is confirmed a spokesperson for the company involved comes along and spoils all the fun. Ah well, I’ll continue on bravely as I predict the denial from Summit is bunkum, and that the story will be proved right in time. Rumors began last year of Breaking Dawn, the last...

‘Breaking Dawn’ Likely Filming In 2010, But One Or Two Movies?

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is due out in cinemas on June 30. There will then be just one book in the series left to bring to the big screen. It looks likely filming will begin on Breaking Dawn later this year but whether it’s to be one long, and very crammed movie, or two shorter...

But as all of his true fans will know, he’d already appeared in a huge franchise before this, playing Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. His Twilight success has meant the stars...

Taylor Lautner Eyeing ‘Max Steel’

Taylor Lautner is currently best known for playing Jacob Black, the boy come werewolf who is Edward Cullen’s love rival for Bella Swan’s attentions in the Twilight movies (and books). He’s the kid who had to beef up massively in order to keep his role for New Moon. However, Lautner could soon be breaking out...

Pattinson on His Non-”Twilight” Career

Say…is RPattz going to play that piano?  Robert Pattinson talked to MTV about how trying to choose movies outside the cozy confines of “Twilight” has been challenging. As he notes, he’s only done other major-sized movie outside of “Twilight”–the yet to be released “Remember Me.” He’s booked for “Bel Ami,” based on the Guy de Maupassant...

Two ‘Breaking Dawn’ Movies To Bring Twilight To A Close?

As someone who is currently still reading the first Twilight book, having been persuaded to do so in order to learn the characters’ fates after watching The Twilight Saga: New Moon, it’s slightly difficult to talk about Breaking Dawn. However, this is big news so I’ll give it a shot. The first Twilight movie did...

Chris Weitz Talks ‘The Golden Compass’

Chris Weitz has directed New Moon after replacing Catherine Hardwicke as the person charged with bringing the books to life. And by all accounts New Moon is a much-more-faithful adaptation of the book it’s based on than the first film was. However, while New Moon seems to be pleasing the fans of the books, Weitz...

‘New Moon’ Scores Huge Opening Day

The Twilight Saga: New Moon was always going to have a huge launch but the size of the audience who flocked to see the film has surpassed even the most hopeful estimates. New Moon enjoyed a midnight opening on Thursday night and managed to an unprecedented $26.3 million in that time frame. That easily beat...

‘Twilight’ Author Praises Lead Actors

I often wonder how it must feel for an author to see their work brought to life on the big screen. They created the characters, brought them to life, invented the world they live in, and gave them the storyline. And then they have to let go and watch while someone else makes the work...

‘Twilight Saga: Eclipse’ Wraps (Almost)

Wow, they’re getting through the Twilight movies a little speedily aren’t they? Twilight, the first installment, was released late last year; the second, New Moon, is due out next month, and shooting has all but wrapped on Eclipse, the third novel-come-movie, due for release in 2010. There is actually a few days of principal filming...

Twilight’s Pattinson May Quit Acting

Robert Pattinson is an unlikely heartthrob. He’s quite old-fashioned looking and more foppish than even the old master himself, Hugh Grant. Yet somehow, it works, and he isn’t a bad actor either. Which is a bonus seeing as that’s his job title. Although his performance in Twilight wasn’t to everyone’s taste, I think he did...
