Cast News: The Hot Seat – Kristen Stewart

NY Time Out is in the hot seat with Kristen Stewart. Read New York Time Out’s interview with Kristen on her new film, ‘Welcome to the Rileys’ and much more.

You seem very attracted to roles in which you play someone who is defiant, constantly fighting for something—emotionally, physically. What is Mallory fighting for the hardest?
I think she’s just trying to survive. She’s had a rough upbringing, which has taken something from her on a really basic level. It’s hard for a young girl in the normal world, but put her on the streets…she doesn’t realize that she does actually need people, that she needs to have a capacity to trust, accept and love other people. She sees and tastes that with Doug, realizes she can have it, and she’s not dead yet.

All about vampires and Robert Pattinson

Many people are fans of this show and many have been anticipating when it’ll come to our TV screens. Finally, Channel 5 will air the first season on 30 October, Saturday at 10pm. I have not watched it but I’m ready to now. =)

The Vampire Diaries is an American supernatural–fantasy horror television series developed by Kevin Williamson, based on the book series of the same name by L. J. Smith. The series follows the life of Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev), who falls in love with vampire Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley), and soon finds herself caught in a love triangle between Stefan and his older brother, Damon (Ian Somerhalder), while the brothers are also being haunted by the past they’ve had with Katherine Pierce (also played by Nina Dobrev). The series also focuses on the lives of Elena’s friends and other inhabitants of the fictional town of Mystic Falls, Virginia.

 

If you would like to watch Robert Pattinson before his Twilight days, Channel 5 will be showing Harry Potter and The Goblet Of Fire on October 31 at 6pm.  I guess this is just to bring up the hype for the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. I wonder if they will they air the Twilight Saga movies before the release of Breaking Dawn…

Breaking Dawn NEWS – MASSIVE CASTING UPDATE

Summit Entertainment has just recently released tat the following have been cast in THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN for roles in The Amazon Coven, The Egyptian Coven, The Irish Coven and The Romanian Coven as well as the American and European Nomads as outlined below.

THE AMAZON COVEN

* Senna – Tracey Heggins
* Zafrina – Judi Shekoni

Among the oldest vampires in the world, Senna and Zafrina are descendants of an ancient Amazonian tribe. They have lived outside of civilization for centuries and therefore make no attempt to keep up a human facade. Though they drink human blood, the Amazons have long been allies of Carlisle.

THE EGYPTIAN COVEN

* Amun – Omar Metwally (RENDITION, MUNICH)
* Kebi – Andrea Gabriel (LostHouse)
* Benjamin – Rami Malek (NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM)
* Tia – Angela Sarafyan (LOVE HURTS, THE GOOD GUYS)

The Egyptian Coven consists of Amun, Kebi, Benjamin, and Tia, with Amun as the leader. It is stated that even though they are not a biological family, they could pass for one. Amun is extremely protective of his family and fearful of Aro.

THE IRISH COVEN

* Maggie – Marlane Barnes (THE TREE OF LIFE)
* Siobhan – Lisa Howard
* Liam – Patrick Brennan

The Irish Coven, a relatively young group, was founded by Siobhan and Liam, but Maggie’s talent made her an important element of it. They are not vegetarian but they are civilized.

THE ROMANIAN COVEN

* Vladimir – Noel Fisher (THE PACIFIC, FINAL DESTINATION 2)
* Stefan – Guri Weinberg (MUNICH)

The Romanian Coven is one of the oldest covens in the world and they were the ruling vampire family until they were unseated by the Volturi. For that reason they harbor a centuries old resentment of the Italian coven.

THE AMERICAN NOMADS

* Garrett – Lee Pace (Pushing Daisies, THE GOOD SHEPHERD)
* Mary – Toni Trucks (MUSIC AND LYRICS)
* Randall – Bill Tangradi (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles)
* Peter – Erik Odom
* Charlotte – Valorie Curry (Veronica Mars)

Turned during the Revolutionary War, Garrett has chosen to live a nomadic existence, wandering the world on his own. Garrett has never lost the rebellious spirit of his human life, and loves a good fight, always rooting for the underdog. Though not a vegetarian, Garrett is among Carlisle’s closest and oldest friends.

Mary and Randall are American nomadic vampires.

Peter and Charlotte are nomadic vampires and mates. They were created during the aftermath of the Southern Vampire Wars, in which Jasper was a key player. They have remained friends with Jasper ever since.

THE EUROPEAN NOMADS

* Alistair – Joe Anderson (THE CRAZIES)

A nomadic vampire from England, Alistair has a misanthropic, brooding personality and a deep mistrust of all authority. Although he counts Carlisle as his closest acquaintance, he doesn’t visit more than once a century.

About THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN

* The next chapter of THE TWILIGHT SAGA will be released as two separate films with the first of the two slated to be released in theatres on November 18, 2011 and the second coming to theatres on November 16, 2012.

* Academy Award® winner Bill Condon will direct both films starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. The project, based on the fourth novel in author Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series, is currently being written by Melissa Rosenberg with Wyck Godfrey, Karen Rosenfelt and Stephenie Meyer producing.

* THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN illuminates the secrets and mysteries of this spellbinding romantic epic that has entranced millions.

About the TWILIGHT film series

But neither can deny the attraction that pulls them together…even when Edward confides that he and his family are vampires. The action-packed, modern day vampire love story TWILIGHT, the first film in the series, was released in theatres on November 21, 2008 to a blockbuster reception.

Cast News

Check out typical Kristen with her heels off after doing the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Dakota has made it to the 6 Actresses Under 25 by Film.com!

Dakota Fanning

Age: 16
Let’s forget about the brooding little vampire she plays in the Twilight series. Can you say “paycheck”? Fanning started out young, mostly with roles on TV, and even graced an episode of Malcolm in the Middle like Emma Stone did. Fanning worked her way up, changing with the times and taking o

n more and more demanding roles. This past year she stepped into maybe her most demanding role yet — Cherie Currie in the band biopic The Runaways. Fanning takes on a lot for the role of the rock star who found herself buried in a life of drugs, booze, and sex at such a young age. One of the most interesting aspects of her role was that Fanning was the same age as Currie was during filming. Fanning portrays a young girl’s foray into the world of rock ‘n’ roll just as you’d expect it to happen. She’s come a long way since the screaming, crying girl running from killer aliens in War of the Worlds. The wide-eyed look of horror she sported in so many of her earlier films as a child has given way to a mature actress who is evolving with the types of roles she’s accepting.

MTV News has got a clip of Jackson bitten by Hilary Swank while he was interviewed for his new movie, Girlfriend!

Breaking Dawn News – Summit currently building sets in Louisiana/Wyck Godfrey Updates us on BD/Nikki talks more abt BD

Collider.com has 2 Exclusives today!

FIRST UP – news about the Breaking Dawn preparations in Louisiana.

We have confirmed through two sources that the production is currently building sets in the Raleigh Studios at the Celtic Media Centre in Baton Rouge, including Edward’s house.  We’ve been told the interior scenes will be shot in Louisiana, while the exteriors will presumably be shot in Vancouver.

Wonder how much of the script requires interior shots – which will more or less determine how long the cast will stay in Louisiana. (Interior scenes namely: The Wedding(AH!!!!), The Honeymoon (;)), The Birthing Scene, ‘After’ Bella.

Going by the book, there are many important exterior scenes which would be of course the final battle scene, battle practice scenes, Jacob’s Book scene, Back story of the Amazonian Vampires, The Cullens travelling all over the world looking for witnesses and of course Isle Esme.  We are just speculating here and more will be revealed soon enough.

SECONDLY -  Collider has an Exclusive Interview with Twilight producer – Wyck Godfrey. He updates us on the Eclipse DVD as well as Breaking Dawn :)

As the producer of all the Twilight movies, Godfrey is in the unique position to be able to talk about the franchise in a way the actors and even the directors can’t. After all, while an actor might be able to talk about filming a certain scene or what it was like for them working with the director, Godfrey is the person who can explain why they chose to film a certain way or why they wanted a certain actor or director to be a part of the franchise.  To put it simply: producers are the ones with all the answers.

Anyway, during the interview Godfrey talks about making Eclipse and what fans can expect on the DVD/Blu-ray.  We also talked a lot about Breaking Dawn including how they’ll be filming it in Louisiana and Vancouver, how long does he expect the movies to be, how did they get Bill Condon to direct them, and a lot more on the next two films.  We also talked about the eventual ultimate DVD/Blu-ray box set for Twilight, his other projects with Channing Tatum and Amy Adams, and way more than I can put in this intro.  It’s a great interview so take a look:

MTV’s Hollywood Crush chatted with Nikki Reed about BD!

Breaking Dawn NEWS – BD TO START FILMING IN less than 2 WEEKS!

HollywoodLife.com has this Exclusive! Head on there for MORE!

 

We got to catch up with Nikki Reed at the launch of the Swatch new gents collection at the Gansevoort Park Avenue on Oct. 6 in NYC, where she told us the whole cast will be back together in New Orleans to begin work on the Breaking Dawn set in no time!

While Twilight and Eclipse were shot in Vancouver, the star said the cast is first headed down south for the fourth movie. “I’m headed out there [to New Orleans] in just over a week,” she said.

So, what can we expect from Rosalie? Nikki said she wants fans to see the sympathetic side of her vampire character and hopes to humanize her. “I cross my fingers I can do it accurately.” In order to get back in to character, she said she re-read the book, Breaking Dawn and she has acting classes scheduled for next week and plans to prep up until she goes off to New Orleans! “I went through it last month once I got the scripts just to make sure nothing was missing.”

Check out this site for new pics of Kristen in WTTR!

And lastly, Rob Pattinson made it into EW’s 50 MOST POWERFUL ENTERTAINERS list. Wanna know where he ranks? Buy the mag!

This week’s EW cover story brings back The Power List, our rankings of the most influential people in the entertainment business. We started doing these rankings way back in 1990 — when names like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Madonna were up high — and have come back to it from time to time in various forms (in 2007, it was The Smart List). This year, we’re freshening things up again, by focusing exclusively on on-screen talent — in other words, folks with recognizable faces only, no agents or studio suits need apply. As usual, we based our calculations on a formula that included both hard, crunchable numbers (box office grosses, TV viewers, albums sold) with less tangible factors, like a star’s influence within their industry or general command of the pop cultural stage.
