The Latest 'Twilight' Scam


Beware of casting calls like this one for Breaking Dawn. REMEMBER: casting has not even begun yet. Take note of the advices throughout the following article:

Well, a new Breaking Dawn casting scam was recently brought to our attention and we wanted to warn others, so they will recognize the difference between a real casting call and an attempt to fleece fans of their cash.

I received the following message from a Twilight fan:

Sorry to bother you as I am sure that you are busy. We had an ad on the a radio here in Calgary saying that if you text this number at this certain time, you would get a call to audition for the next Breaking Dawn movie at [nameless acting & modeling school]. Today they called and booked an audition time for my daughter on Saturday. I was just wondering if you knew anything about this or if it is just a scam to have people join [nameless acting & modeling school]? They said there was a casting director coming.


Without even gathering any more information about this supposed casting call, I can tell you that this is nothing but a ploy to get people through the door. Once they have arrived, victims will have to sit through a sales pitch and be pressured to sign up for acting and modeling classes that are expensive and of dubious quality. Likely, victims will also be pressured to purchase spendy (and useless) photo portfolios or attend a costly "talent showcase" in LA or New York, where, they're told, they just might be "discovered."

RED FLAGS GALORE

Here are the red flags I spotted in this message:

- Breaking Dawn is not casting yet.

The film doesn't go into production until the fall. No casting director has even been hired.

- Auditions for Breaking Dawn will not take place anywhere where classes are offered, nor will they take place in Calgary.

The film is likely shooting in Vancouver, BC. A real casting company, not an acting and modeling school located in a shopping mall, will be hired to cast the actors.

NOTE: Anytime a company that offers classes or photo portfolios also promotes itself as a talent agency or talent management company: Beware. Real industry professionals know that it is a conflict of interest to do both.

- Auditions for any real roles in the film will not be advertised on the radio.

Actors will be hired through bona fide SAG-franchised talent agencies.

(The extras casting company MAY hold an open casting call, but this won't happen until the film goes into production this fall and actually hires an extras company.

Moreover, it will only be advertised in the Vancouver area or wherever the film is shooting. They do not want to truck extras in from remote locations. There are plenty of people on hand who live nearby.)

- The qualification to audition for a film this huge is not one's ability to send a text message.

The casting directors want educated, established, experienced, professional actors. They don't have time to waste on these kinds of games. Film is a high-pressure, fast-paced business and producers want only the crème de la crème.

If you want to break into acting, get into the best acting class you can find and train, train, train. Don't look around for silly shortcuts. Acting is hard work and very competitive.

- Who in the Forks is this casting director?

This acting/modeling school claims that a casting director will be there, but since it can't possibly be the CD of Breaking Dawn, who is it?

And why are they claiming it's an audition for Breaking Dawn? The film is not yet in production and no crew has been hired.

Period.

'Breaking Dawn' Director Bill Condon Writes a Note to Fans


The newly named director of Breaking Dawn, Bill Condon, has written up a note for us Twilight fans....

Greetings Twihards, Twifans, Twilight Moms, Team Edward, Team Jacob and Team Switzerland,

I just want to say hello to all of you and let you know that I'm stoked to be getting underway on the adventure of making BREAKING DAWN. As you've probably heard, I've been given a very warm welcome by Stephenie and Team Summit - who are super-focused, as you know, on getting these movies right.

I'm pretty busy bringing myself up to speed on what you already know by heart: I've read BREAKING DAWN twice, rewatched Catherine's and Chris's movies 2-3 times each, have all four CDs playing in my car, and have Catherine's notebook, Mark Cotta Vaz's companion books, and even Volume 1 of the graphic novel here on my desk - a corner of my office is starting to look like Hot Topic. I realize that this barely qualifies me for "newborn" status in the universe you've been living inside for a few years now, but a guy's gotta start somewhere.

Like many of you, I've always been slightly obsessed with vampires, dating back to the prime-time series DARK SHADOWS, which I followed avidly as a kid. But that alone hadn't been enough to get me interested in making a vampire movie, even though my early screenwriting and directing efforts grew out of a great love for horror movies and thrillers. Since making GODS AND MONSTERS thirteen years ago, however, I've been yearning for a return to a story with Gothic overtones.

The wonderful world that Stephenie has created has obviously struck a chord with you, and I don't think it's difficult to see why. For me, her characters are simultaneously timeless, yet very modern. Rooted in a beautiful, real landscape with a great sense of place, Bella, Edward, Jacob, and the rest of the Forks/La Push menagerie, experience emotions that are primal, and universal: desire, despair, jealousy - and it all comes to fruition in BREAKING DAWN. This is a final chapter in the best sense; not just wide in scope and scale, but emotionally charged and intense throughout.

I'm a huge admirer of the already-iconic Kristen, Robert, and Taylor, and wanted to be the one to work with them as they face the challenges of bringing your beloved characters to the end of their journeys. Really, what could be more fun than that?

Please feel free to ask questions in the comments section below, and I'll do my best to answer them. I hope that this will be the first of many occasions I'll get to check in with you as we set to work bringing BREAKING DAWN to the screen. I am excited and grateful to have all of you alongside me for my TWILIGHT journey.

All best,

Bill Condon

P.S. Answer #1: No, there won't be any musical number
s

Bill Condon is making me extremely excited for the production of Breaking Dawn to get started!

The Top Ten Most Bizarre 'Twilight' Products

So I came across this article listing the "Top Ten Most Bizarre Pieces of Twilight Merchandising". Keep in mind that this article was written in 2008 but I don't think we posted it up at TB.net before. If you've seen it before, great! If you haven't, enjoy a good laugh :)



10. Twilight Scene It for the Wii



Sure, a video game tie-in with a movie is nothing new, but generally it's only action or sci-fi movies that get this sort of treatment. Twilight decided to go another route, instead of taking control of Bella and navigating the cliques of High School and a dangerous romance with an immortal bloodsucker, you just answer questions based on the movie and book.

I think my idea is better.

9. Twilight Love at First Bite Cookbook



I'm not too familiar with Twilight, but I assume there are no long passages detailing the vampires cooking, so this one seems like over-kill. So what's inside? Recipes for Bella's Lasagna, Harry's Famous Fish Fry, Red Velvet Cake, Blushing Bella Punch and all served in a brooding and beautiful package...

8. The Twilight Bra



I understand that Twilight is one of the few movie franchises that appeals to women, but this seems to go too far. I don't remember any adult underpants on store shelves with Boba Fett on them when Empire Strikes Back came to theaters, but maybe I would have bought them (I did have a Star Wars onesie though). Still, a Twilight bra is an odd bit of merchandising, but there is a second part to that...stay tuned.

7. Twilight Bandages



Every time one of the Star Wars prequels hit theaters you could be assured that an endless collection of branded crap with Jar-Jar's face all over it would be hitting shelves all over the country. I am pretty sure I saw Star Wars bandages, but I never thought another movie franchise would go to that level of merchandising...until now.

6. Twilight Dolls



Alright, we all expected dolls, but this is just silly. For the girl who just can't get enough Edward in her life, comes this doll that has the iconic quaff of hair, but gets downright creepy when you take the shirt off. Really people, do we need sixpack abs on dolls now?

5. Twilight New Moon Volturi - Tainted Love - Immortal Liquid Body Shimmer



I guess make-up products based on the series was inevitable, but 'body shimmer' is a little weird. Honestly, there seems to be some over-sexualizing in these products, and this one (there are four other colors too) is just a little creepy.

4. Twilight Condoms



I think this one is pretty self-explanatory, and goes to that over-sexualizing I was talking about. It's a movie targeted at teenage girls, so I guess it's a good thing that they're encouraging safe sex, but no one even has (spoiler alert) sex in any of these movies.

3. Edward Cullen Shower Curtain



A shower curtain with this dude staring at you might do it for the ladies, but it would simply creep me out. Even if they were to put one of the many cute girls from the Twilight series on a shower curtain for the fellas out there, it still seems like something that would scare me more often than excite me.

2. Life-sized Edward Cullen Twilight Silhouette



Um...weird, very weird. I am almost positive that I would end up trying to kill this thing with a lead pipe one night thinking it was someone trying to break into my apartment. I guess I'm not the target audience though...

1. Edward Cullen Panties



Words don't even begin to describe how completely strange this product is. Sure, these panties were custom made, but it looks like they might be headed into full production soon.


I'm sure most of us are guilty of buying one (or more) of the above. What's your guilty Twilight purchase? Is it any of the "bizarre" products listed above?

Malicious Mandy on 'Eclipse' Pick ups Drama


Malicious Mandy, who's been bringing us Eclipse set updates (check out day 1 here and day 2 here), has just put up a recent post about changes that have been made to the pick up scheduling.

We all saw the unshaven photos of Robert Pattinson yesterday out on the town with Sam Bradley when he was scheduled to be filming.

I did my set report last night stating that the schedule had been unexpectedly changed.

Yes, movies schedules change, but I can definately say that Rob was supposed to film all 3 days and hasn't.

So take that as you will and let's hope "official" word on this situation comes out soon.

Last I heard Rob was on set today and presumably filming though I've not seen him or photos of him to see if he has been groomed for filming.

As a fan, I am worried about trying to cram reshoots into only 3 days, 2 of which our star wasn't filming as scheduled, and only 2 months before the film is released, which is about a month before the final product should be completed. Promotion starts next week for goodness sake!!!

Time is ticking and it doesn't FEEL like things are going smoothly!

I am not trying to spread my anxiety or stir the pot, I am simply stating my own feelings on the projects current state. This is "Mandy's Mind" afterall!

As a fan I worry, especially because Eclipse is my favourite of the books and there has already been so much drama surrounding the film. The director choice and vision (newborns=zombies), the editor re-hire, the Bella wig, the recasting of Victoria, re-shoots, its been a rollercoaster of epic proportions.

What are your thoughts on the happenings?

I'm sure everything will work out for the team up in Vancouver and when we see the final product in theaters it's going to be AMAZING and well worth the wait!

{via Mandy's Mind}

Would You Buy a Replica of Bella's Engagement Ring For $2,000?


Or the price the article points out - £1,300?!

(Check out the story we brought you about the ring on Sunday)

The writer says those who want the ring for that much money are "people who should know better."

People who should realise that wearing an engagement ring based on a faddy movie about a silly-haired vampire will one day look as silly as wearing an engagement ring branded with the New Kids On the Block logo. People who should realise that they're one small step away from sending out wedding invitations requesting that guests turn up dressed as Hobbits or members of Starfleet. People with fiances who understand that they'll always play second best to Robert Pattinson but still stick around anyway because they don't have any self-esteem left.

There are cheaper versions out there but this one is a "full-blown engagement ring – made from diamonds and 14 carat gold".

So we want to know - would you buy the ring for yourself for almost $2,000? And if you've bought one for a cheaper price, was it worth it? Let us know in the comments section!

Robert Pattinson Leaving Lunch in Vancouver

Robert Pattinson was spotted leaving lunch in Vancouver yesterday wearing a beanie and a paint-splattered looking jacket. He made time to sign an autograph for a lucky fan.

Malicious Mandy 'Eclipse' Set Report Day #2

In case you missed Day #1 click here to read what Mandy had to say.

There isn't much to report on today.

It was all in studio.

As I've mentioned n the past studio is great for the cast and crew because there is no public access.

The downside of this for fans is no photos, information, etc.

Here is what I do know:

Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner started at 5am and wrapped at just after 9pm.

Kristen Stewart left first, Taylor shortly after.

It was a long day and it didn't go as scheduled.

It is not a studio they used before for either New Moon or Eclipse.

Though Robert Pattinson was on set today he did not film as scheduled.

Instead he was seen in the late afternoon at a bar on Commercial drive with good friend Sam Bradley having a bite to eat and a few beers.


Everyone found this fishy... me too... he isn't even "groomed" yet.... and he's been in Vancouver a full 24 hours... Hmmmm.....

They are scheduled to be in studio again tomorrow with Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner though films don't always stick to schedules as we have learned.

That's all for now... though keep your eyes and ears open for more in upcoming days...

Thanks for reading,
Mandy

What We Can Expect from the Cullen Family in 'Eclipse'

With 60 more days to go until June 30, here is an interview with Peter Facinelli and Elizabeth Reaser on Eclipse as well as the rest of the Cullen clan discussing what we can expect to see from their characters in the film.

The family that slays together, stays together.

At least that's the case for the Cullen brood.

In "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse," which hits theaters June 30, Seattle is ravaged by a series of killings caused by an army of newborn vampires controlled by revenge-seeking bloodsucker Victoria. To combat the threat against Bella ( Kristen Stewart) in this third installment of the franchise, the Cullens must band together and join forces with their sworn enemies, the wolf pack.

"The whole family is in a vulnerable position because of the love we have for Bella," said Elizabeth Reaser, who plays matriarch Esme Cullen. "If she's not OK, we're not OK."

In the past, we've seen the clan hit baseballs so hard that they can play only in a thunder storm, to block out the sound. And we've watched the buttoned-up human imposters welcome Bella into their home as the human girlfriend of one of their own — the handsome Edward.

"This time around, you get to see their true vampire-ness," said Peter Facinelli, who plays head vampire Dr. Carlisle Cullen in the series based on the bestselling books by Stephenie Meyer.

What can we expect from the pale-faced Cullen family (which includes the Hale siblings) this go around? Here's what the actors say audiences can expect from the story and their characters:

Facinelli: "For me, as Carlisle, it's an exciting portion of the series. Carlisle is very compassionate and he has a lot of killing to do in this movie. I joke, after he kills the bad guys, he says he's sorry in his head. And, you know, he's calm and level-headed. He's the rock of the family. He usually has a lot of information to draw from because Alice can see into the future and Edward can read minds. In this third movie, he's not getting that information. Neither one of his sources are working, so he's kind of flying blind."

Reaser: "Esme is still a vampire. She still wants to kill people all day long. It was interesting to get in touch with the vampire side of her in ways that haven't really been explored. Her family is in danger and that brings out the mama bear in her.

Ashley Greene (as Alice Cullen): "Yeah, she's delicate and prissy at times, but Alice gets a little edgier with each installment. And with these vampires messing with her family and the people she loves, you're going to see a bit of her toughness. It's a reminder to the audience that even though we restrain ourselves at times, we're still vampires and we're dangerous. You're going to see the dark, dangerous side of Alice."

Kellan Lutz (as Emmett Cullen): "You're going to see a smile on Emmett's face from start to finish. He just loves to fight. And there's a lot of fighting. He sort of plays bigger in this one than the others."

Jackson Rathbone (as Jasper Hale): "You'll get to see a little bit of the root of what makes Jasper so withdrawn and quiet in the Cullen family. Fans will get some of Jasper's back story in ‘Eclipse.' I got to wear the whole Civil War gear and everything. There's a bit of the softer and darker side of Jasper in this film."

Nikki Reed (as Rosalie Hale): "You see a reason for her attitude. I think fans will feel for her. There was a bit of that in ‘New Moon.' Fans got to see a bit of her sensitive side. Her sane side. Her logical side. And her desire to help her family. This time around, she is much more of a participant. She's a survivor. This is her family. So if protecting Bella means protecting her family, she's going to do it."

Robert Pattinson (as Edward Cullen): Snagging a phone interview with the brooding dreamboat — who was overseas shooting his latest film, "Bel Ami" — proved difficult. So what can we expect from the lovesick Edward? He promises to love Bella "every moment of forever," as the trailer reveals. He's still hesitant about her becoming a vampire. He's determined to protect her from Victoria. And he's vying with Jacob for her affections. Oh, the life of an antique teenage vampire.

Bill Condon Perfect for Handling Those Steamy Scenes in 'Breaking Dawn'?


So says a Summit insider to E!'s Ted Casablanca of "The Awful Truth".

"[Condon] gets it, he does the repressed thing very well."

Jeez, is this good news or bad news?

We say totally good!

"[Condon] really is good at getting in there with the sexual stuff you don't talk about, he's shown that in Gods and Monsters," Deep Twi assessed, regarding Condon's film with Brendan Fraser and Ian McKellen. Monsters essentially was about a retired gay director (McKellen) who wanted his gardener (Fraser), who didn't seem to know exactly what the hell he wanted. The ending wasn't entirely happy.

And given the progressive romantic lives (finally!) Bella and Edward have in Stephenie Meyer's fourth Twilight book, Breaking Dawn, maybe it's best to have a guy who knows how tease the PG stuff while still keeping everything tuned to the overwhelming teenage audience? Probably. Just think we all coulda used a guy who gets sex—in any kind of filmic capacity—on Twilight a whole lot sooner.

Also, our Summit insider informs us the reason they're still waiting to decide whether Breaking will be made into one or two (or three?) films is to get Condon's input.

"It only makes sense," Deep Twi added, "if we want this guy to stay with us for a while to get his input on everything."

Uh, for a while?

Yep, you heard right.

After all, vampires do live forever, do they not?

Thanks to @hay1979 for the heads up on this article!

Bryce Dallas Howard is Most Anticipated Summer Villain


Bryce Dallas Howard was voted the "Most Anticipated Summer Villain" folks want to see when The Twilight Saga: Eclipse hits theaters June 30th.

We all know Bryce is taking on the role of "Victoria" in the third installment of the saga, replacing Rachelle Lefevre who played the character in Twilight and New Moon.

Here are the official Fandango poll results:

Most Anticipated Summer Movie Villain:

Bryce Dallas Howard (The Twilight Saga: Eclipse) 31%

Mickey Rourke (Iron Man 2) 29%

Sam Rockwell (Iron Man 2) 11%

Val Kilmer (MacGruber) 8%

Eric Roberts (The Expendables) 6%

Steve Carell (Despicable Me) 5%

Mark Strong (Robin Hood) 4%

Do you think the voters were right about Bryce being the summer movie villain you're most excited to see?

Chris Weitz Writes about Robert Pattinson for Time's Annual 100 Issue


As we posted up earlier Robert Pattinson came in at #14 on Time magazine's "100 Most Influential People in the World."

Time.com had director of New Moon Chris Weitz write something about Rob for his achievement of making it onto the list.

I have to be careful about what I write here because it will be tweeted the moment TIME hits the stands. And if I say something bad about Rob Pattinson, I'm dead meat. That's the devotion the Twilight films inspire. It's certainly not how he planned it. And though I am continually impressed by the aplomb with which he handles the hysteria, I occasionally think he would take it all back if given the chance. Because essentially, Rob, 23, is a reserved, bookish sort of specimen, a guy who'd rather spend the night at the corner table in the pub with friends — a bit of a weirdo, frankly, in the best sense.

{via time.com}

So how to write about someone who seems to answer Freud's rhetorical question, What do women want? Perhaps it's just worth pointing out that it'd be fun to have a beer with him even if he weren't Edward Cullen. That we haven't seen a tenth of what he can do onscreen. And that important things, beyond the veil of Hollywood, occupy his time too — music, conversation, ideas, a sense of the absurd. Which, maybe, explains why he never gets to my e-mails. I love you, Rob! Call me!

Upcoming Vanity Fair Spread with the 'Eclipse' Women

Meet and Greet with Peter Facinelli in Huntington, WV


Peter Facinelli will be in Huntington, West Virginia this Sunday, May 2 for a meet-and-greet. Here are the details:



WHERE: Huntington Mall gazebo
WHEN: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday
TICKETS: Autographs $25, pictures are $40. Cash only. A portion of the proceeds benefits Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, a pediatric cancer charity.
INFO: www.huntingtonmall.com or 800-615-3535


Charleston's The Gazette did a 5 question Q&A with Peter discussing his upcoming projects, his relationship with the cast and working with a different director for each Twilight saga film.

Q: How is the world of vampires these days?
A: Busy. It's a good thing I have eternity.

Q: You have the third "Twilight" film, "Eclipse," coming out in June. What else are you working on?
A: I wrote a movie, and we're shooting that in July, which should finish just in time to start the third season of "Nurse Jackie" [on Showtime]. Then, hopefully, we'll find out what we're doing with "Breaking Dawn" by then.

Q: Do you have any idea when "Breaking Dawn" might start filming?
A: Nope.

Q: The "Twilight" franchise has changed directors with every film. How does that affect you as an actor?
A: I think it's more difficult for the director. They're coming in on a moving train. Everyone already has their characters created. I like working with different directors. I've done television series, like "Nurse Jackie" and "Six Feet Under," and every episode is a new director. They come in and give a new perspective on the material.

Q: After three films, has your relationship with the rest of the cast changed?
A: No. I think the only thing that has changed is more people are aware of us on the streets. When we shot "Twilight," we'd all go out to dinner, and nobody cared what we were shooting or what we were doing. Now, if we go out to dinner, we have vans of people following us, which doesn't always make for a good time. So we end up spending more of our time in our rooms, just ordering in.

'Eclipse' Re-Shoot Day #1 - Set Report

#Malicious Mandy posted a lovely Eclipse Re-Shoot Day #1 set report! Check it out:

After rumors of a “meadow” re-shoot I decided to pop by the meadow set last night to see if there were any signs of filming coming up. You know, signs, trailors, security, equipment…

There was nothing.

At the gate which blocks the public from the private property previously used for filming, there was a man in a car.

There is not usually a man in a car at this gate day-to-day, except during filming so this was a subtle hint that indeed this was about to become an active set.






As I drove away guess I what passed?

Trailors… power stations, mobile dressing rooms, etc. all heading towards the gate.

I came home knowing they would indeed be filming at “the meadow” soon.

—————————————————————————

Today, while many scrambled to find out where in the world Robert Pattinson was, I slept in. I was off work so I decided to swing by the set.

If it was a live set they would have been filming for several hours when I went and given the lack of rain and overcast but bright sky it seemed likely they were indeed filming at “the meadow.”

This is the worst exterior set for fans wanting to catch a glimpse of happenings because it is on private property aprox 10 miles PAST a security gate.

During Eclipse, there was a circus (hair/make-up trailors) that had fairly public access… today however, there was not. They moved the circus.

The new circus was further towards the private property “meadow” set (which is actually a GVRD Park) and up a steep drive way on actual private property, as in someone’s own personal property. [They were likely paid a pretty penny for its use too]

Not wanting to break any laws I did not venture up towards the circus, ignoring “No Trespassing” signs, nor did I try to get past the GVRD Gate towards the set.

It was enough to know they were indeed filming and I was excited to have found the set.

The only photos I have are of the signs used to direct crew to the hidden location.Tonight I returned after they wrapped and saw a number of trailors leaving including mobile dressing rooms, power stations and large trucks. I believe they have wrapped that location which is the only reason I am blogging about it.

If for some reason they haven’t wrapped that location then - my bad!

But it clearly looked as though they were done based on the amount of equipment leaving this evening.

So they indeed used the “meadow” set today with both Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart. It wasn’t Robert Pattinson on set, so it wasn’t the “meadow proposal scene” or anything.

I think there was confusion about just what was filmed at the meadow…. MANY things!!

That particular area has vast surroundings suitable for various shots involving a field, meadow, forest, water, mountains etc.

It is a beautiful British Columbian PARK!!!

Anyways, that is my two cents… I hear studio is next, which mean more vague set reports since fans can not go into studios. But I shall report what I can.
