Kristen Stewart Ungrateful?

Backlash! The latest brouhaha began brewing when Robert Pattinson showed up to Sunday’s 81st Annual Academy Awards without the “Twilight” leading lady on his arm. As fans know, from the MTV Movie Awards to Comic-Con and various other events throughout 2009, it was extremely rare to see one actor making a publicity appearance without the other nearby. Immediately, rumors began circulation that there was more to KStew’s conspicuous absence than met the eye.
Sure enough, when the 18-year-old’s father John Stewart (no, not that one) showed up on the red carpet, the TV producer was approached by the incomparable Billy Bush. George W.’s cousin asked Kristen’s dad why she wasn’t presenting with RPattz, and his answer was as honest as it was shocking. - ext. MTV

With her recent interview with Nylon and her dad’s comment regarding her Oscar absence, some Twilight fans are disappointed with Kristen Stewart. Kristen, in an interview with Nylon Magazine, was quoted saying that the Twilight promotional tour were “psychotic situations” and that she has always been asked “bull***t questions”. To top that, according to her dad, Kristen will only attend the Oscars “When it’s a great movie, not just one that makes a lot of money.”

Commenters had both harsh and understanding criticism to share:

wolfbane:: Kristen needs to get her head out of the clouds. I've been a supporter of hers since the beginning and now that i heard about this i turned a complete one-eighty. Has she ever thought that maybe Twilight wasn't good because her acting was only sub-par? I mean, the only good thing she did in the role was when she got bit. And as for the fans, yes i admit alot of the questions are stupid, but she has to think that alot of those fans are 12 year old girls and most of the questions are all in good fun. If she can't handle that then she stepped into the wrong career and into the wrong film franchise. And by the way Kristen, maybe you should think about the fact that the fans are funding your damn paycheck.

popsicle14:: Wow! She's the biggest snob in Hollywood.

Ash:: So she swears every now and then…whoopdie do. People don’t have to like her, she isn’t looking for anyone’s approval, as we have seen/heard. She ultimately makes her own decisions. We can’t fault her, cause we DON’T know her…but you should respect her a bit for not being a ‘stereotypical’ young Hollywood actress.

So how do you feel about Kristen? Does she deserve the backlash, or is she entitled to the way she reacted?

Fanfic Fries- Grand Unveil!

Alright, I'm gonna have a new segment here on TwiNews! :)

One of the things I like to do relating to Twilight is read fanfiction. I'll scout for the best and the interesting and post them, totally credited, here. The fanfics that are posted will not require any login for a particular site, so no worries there as well. Feel free to comment on fanfics- there are a lot of great stuff! Actually, I'm not going to limit this to just fanfiction.. but I'll introduce awesome artwork too.

One last thing- fanfic fries will come randomly and crazily, so keep a clear look out!

LOST- Edward never came back. Seven years later, Bella is a tough, heartless corporate girl in New York City. She has taken down many businesses and never lost. Now, she is about to take down C-CORP. Who is the mysterious owner? Who is "C"? She will find out, and she will destroy him. Who is the monster now? Can she be saved? This story was written and completed by edwardsoul (penname) on Twilight Archives.

Burn Beautiful- Spoiler warning. Continuation of New Moon. Being a vampire comes with it's own problems: new found blood lust, untried strength, never ending fights between natural vampire will and human conscience. Edward and Bella's relationship takes a completely new turn as challenges fly their way. Namely, a pack of furious werewolves and a certain vampire named Victoria, who's still set on vengeance and, this time, gains some powerful followers determined to end Bella, vampire or not, and do as much damage to Forks as possible. This story was written and completed by effection (penname) on Twilight Archives.

In My Time- It's a Twilight and Jane Austen Twist- We have all read stories from Bella's generation. But now we are going to reverse time to 1917 and 1918. Inspired by the part in eclipse where Bella pictures Edward and her in old clothes and sitting on a porch. So ask yourself this: what if they both lived back then, both were human, and both were sitting on that porch? What if Edward knew that Bella was the one he was looking for??? This story is written, but not completed, by awsomealice94 (penname) on Twilight Archives.

A Child of the Night- "I'm like a Vampire," she murmured, her eyes fluttering closed. "Because the sun could kill me. I've lived in darkness, afraid of the sun which, in mere seconds, could steal my life. But ... when I'm with you, I feel warm. You're my sun, Edward." ExB This story was written and completed by l'heure bleue (penname) on Fanfiction.Net. It's all human characters.

RUMORS

Is AnnaLynne McCord going to be included in the New Moon cast (as Heidi)?

- As Ashley Greene commented, "You can put some weight on this one [rumor]." ;) As for what that means, you can decide.

Will Vanessa Hudgens be playing Leah?
- This one has been spreading like wild fire throughtout the fandom.. She's auditioned, but no one has been officially cast for the role.

Will Ian McKellen be playing Aro? Y'know, that guy that was in The Lord of the Rings?

- Nothing is yet official on this, casting is still going on as far as anyone is informed.. However, I think he is the right guy for the job.. well known, aged, a film star background.. all he needs now is a proper knowledge on the book and his character.

Can I be apart of this epic film?

- YES!- Well, maybe! Summit is about to launch a contest for the chance to BE IN NEW MOON! The official Twilight Movie site will soon be hosting it. Open to the US and Canada only.. Personally, I think that's really cool. :)

These are a few of the main rumors surrounding the New Moon movie.. But really? I just hope this new director guy pulls it off and somehow manages to satisfy us, twihards. I really thought there were too many things wrong with the first movie, so on that, there is a ton of pressure on the director of New Moon. I swear, if Robert Pattinson doesn't wax his face or something.. ugh. :/ Anyway, before I go too off-topic, I just want to say, congrats for Taylor Lautner on keeping his part! Woo-hoo! :)

Big Reveal: Ashley Greene

Reports on Ashley Greene are out! She's finally received the script for New Moon, taking it in with as much excitement as every fan.

According to her, it's even better then the first movie. Ashley told Extra, "I’m so excited. I finally, finally got the script … and it’s good. It’s really good. I’m really excited to work with [new director] Chris [Weitz]. I finally spoke to him the other day.
“I like [the script] better than the first one,” she added. “I might be biased, because I have a bigger part.”
On a side note-

This is a big leap for Greene already. Affiliation with Twilight has brought her attention and a small portion of fame, but she's glad with what she has.

“It’s nice for me, because as Alice, a lot of people don’t recognize me, because my hair is longer and everything’s a little different, so it’s kind of slowly happening,” she said. “Versus poor Rob, [who] went from nobody knowing him to everything being documented.”

She doesn't exactly have to deal with the crazy haze surrounding Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, but she is quite content with her life.

Rob at the Oscars

Aside from the movie, Slumdog Millionaire, running away with all the Oscar Awards, Robert Pattinson made an appearance at the famous show on Sunday, the 22. I'm not a major fan of him for portraying Edward (in general) the way he did, but I will admit he came out looking quite dashing, donning an elegant tuxedo for the event. It was quite special to see how he related to Twilight in his comments.

"Seyfried proclaimed that since the beginning of cinema, films have tried to figure several key things about love, with Pattinson adding: “What it is, how to get it, how to keep it and what to do when it goes incredibly wrong.”
Donning... some scruff and his British charm, Pattinson jokingly told the crowd, “I had to become a vampire to find it!” " ext. MTV

He was quite the advocate for Twilight with his (overly done?) vampiric look.. I don't know if I was imagining it, but Rob gave me the impression that he was trying to view the audience from 'beneath his eyelashes'. It was weird at first, but reminded me of the proposal scene in Eclipse.. After that, he was pretty okay in my book.

Later during the show, Pattinson could be spotted among the famous actors and actresses, but his real debue was in the stand-up interview after the show. "This is my last night of light. I go up to Canada soon [to shoot the Twilight sequel, New Moon]. And my character goes 50 times darker then it did in the first movie," the actor hinted. He was also seen at the after party, managing to stick around for a few shots with Zack and Vanessa.

Rob did a fine job, all things considered, at the Oscars. Hopefully, we'll see him soon enough in the previews.

Twilight: Director's Notebook

"Exciting news for fans of Twilight
the movie!
Little, Brown will be publishing Twilight: Director's Notebook
written by
Catherine Hardwicke. It will be released on March 17th. This
intimate look on
making the movie will include inside secrets on everything
from casting to
wardrobe along with personal notes from Catherine and
behind-the-scenes
photographs."

- excerpt from StephenieMeyer.com

Fans around the Twilight World are excited and anxious at delving deeper into Catherine Hardwicke's mind on and when she made the movie...

"With this book, I tried to show fans and aspiring filmmakers some of the process that the crew and I went through filming Twilight," said Hardwicke, who started as a production designer for films like Tank Girl, Three Kings, and Vanilla Sky before making her directorial debut with 2003's Thirteen. "My challenge was to translate Stephenie [Meyer]'s powerful book and make you feel what she makes you feel when you read her words." ext. EW

The book should contain the director's very thoughts, little hints and dittos, on the set. It's designed to re-create her own personal notebook that she kept throughout her time on set. The book is also set to feature little notes on all the actors and actresses, a big plus for every fan out there. You've seen the eccentric director in short trailers and clips, but the notebook should offer her specific views on just about everything dealing with Twilight. She's not set to direct New Moon, but for her time working with Twilight, she made a very memorable impact. Whether your views were harsh or positive on the movie, you can now see why she made the movie the way she did. You can see her thoughts on each scene, all the while reading little tidbits on directing Twilight. There are also exclusive behind the scenes shots and pictures on set. On a personal note, I loved it when Robert Pattinson (Edward) bounced the apple that Kristen (Bella) dropped during lunch. It was very amusing to see that little scene emphasize him being a vampire; it'd be kind of cool to see what she thought of filming it and maybe see some still pictures of that moment.

Twilight: Director's Notebook will go on sale on March 17, 2009.

You can now pre-order this book.

New Moon movie kick-off!

11.20.09
Among the many speculations, I do have a few facts:

• The movie title will remain as 'New Moon'.. nothing too drastic like The Twilight Saga's New Moon as it's been rumored. It's pretty big (isn't everything related to Twilight?) news considering they've already changed so many things in the first movie.. ;P
  
  
• Parts of the movie will be filmed in Volterra, Italy. Talk about the infamous Volturi Castle should ensue.. It has yet to be chosen or even digitally recreated.

• Taylor Lautner will proudly be back again for New Moon.. and his abs are ready ;)



• Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart (Edward and Bella) should follow throughout the series, even into the third installment, Eclipse! I'm not too psyched about Robert (among other reasons, he needs to wax his face), but I will admit they are the headline couple that now identifies the Twilight Saga..

• Summit Entertainment has announced the release date for Eclipse.. June 30, 2010! (Okay, not exactly New Moon news, but still.. it's pretty exciting.)

• Alright, guys.. We all felt the dark and depressing mood New Moon gave us, so it's a wonder as to how Summit plans to pull it off with Chris Weitz as the director. He's the guy that directed The Golden Compass more recently. Because of this, I have high hopes that he does New Moon some well deserved good :) Click on his name to find out more.

• It's been noted that actress Rachelle LeFevre (Victoria) is really working out for her wire work stunts in New Moon. She's told Access that she is doing a special new workout training program, only available in Hollywood, called “GST.”

• Here's a big one: Dakota Fanning will be playing Jane in the movie. It's been rumored that she hasn't read the book, but has gladly accepted the role.. And who wouldn't? This saga has become one of the biggest social tornadoes to sweep throughtout America, and even the world! Ahem, a bit off topic, but still.. ;P

• Filming for this epic movie begins in March, in both the US and Italy.. With a deadline of November, I'm wondering if they will pull this off without it seeming too rushed.
