Breaking Dawn : Forever & Always – 19th November 2011

As promised, here’s another event just for our Singaporean Twilighters, ‘Breaking Dawn: Forever & Always’! Yes, it is that time of the year again to celebrate another film from The Twilight Saga, ‘Breaking Dawn – Part 1′. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 opens in Singapore on 24th November 2011, Thursday!

THANK YOU to those who have registered for this event! Twilight Singapore will be looking forward to meet everyone of  YOU on the 19th November 2011 @ Geylang East Public Library, Merpati Hall! In the meantime, let’s reminisce the good old memories since ‘Twilight’!  :D

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 – In Theatres 24 November

Directed by Bill Condon

Starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner

Rating: TBA

Runtime: 115 minutes

Chinese title: 暮 光  之  城 : 破  晓I

In the highly anticipated next chapter of the blockbuster The Twilight Saga, the newfound married bliss of BELLA SWAN (Kristen Stewart) and vampire EDWARD CULLEN (Robert Pattinson) is cut short when a series of betrayals and misfortunes threatens to destroy their world.

After their wedding, Bella and Edward travel to Rio de Janeiro for their honeymoon, where they finally give in to their passions. Bella soon discovers she is pregnant, and during a nearly fatal childbirth, Edward finally fulfills her wish to become immortal.

But the arrival of their remarkable daughter, RENESMEE, sets in motion a perilous chain of events that pits the Cullens and their allies against the VOLTURI, the fearsome council of vampire leaders, setting the stage for an all out battle.

The suspenseful and deeply romantic BREAKING DAWN continues the epic tale of supernatural fantasy and passionate love that has made The Twilight Saga a worldwide phenomenon.


Breaking Dawn News – OST Updates!

Well well well, here’s an overall update of the Breaking Dawn OST! First up! The Belle Brigade has released a lyric video of their track ‘I Didn’t Mean It’ on Rolling Stones.

Watch the video HERE!

“We pretty much wrote the whole  song in a few hours, which is a lot faster than usual. We were really excited about the song when we wrote it, and it kind of sat around for a little while until we were asked for material for Twilight. The song is about jealousy, so it works well with the whole Twilight love triangle.”

Next, is every Twilighter’s favourite – IRON & WINE! You can now listen to ‘Flightless Bird, American Mouth’ (Wedding version)! This version of the song features Marketa Irglova of The Swell Season (Yes! The duo from the indie film, ‘Once’!) as backup vocals.

Just in case you’ve not watch Christina Perri‘s ‘A Thousand Years’, watch it here! Do you guys prefer the lyric video or the official one? :D

Lastly, remember to check out The TWILIGHT SAGA Facebook page to stream all the songs from Breaking Dawn (Part 1) OST! Streaming will be available from 29th October 2011, 10.30PM to 30th October 2011, 10.30PM! Yep, 24 hours for you! :D

Breaking Dawn @ Comic Con 2011

Yup, its that time of the year again! San Diego Comic Con 2011 is here! And check out the poster fans who waited in line got EXCLUSIVELY!

Its seems that this year’s Comic Con appearance for the Breaking Dawn cast has been very low key. There is no video coverage for the Press Conference and we’re getting news feeds from Live Blogs such as Hypable and Comingsoon.net. Before the cast members head on to Hall H to meet the fans! :D

Here’s an excerpt of the Press Conference that was done in 2 sessions where Part 1 had Elizabeth Reaser, Ashley Greene, Nikki Reed, Julia Jones and Booboo Stewart. And later Part 2 will Bill Condon, Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner.

Excepts of the Part 1 & 2 Interviews from MovieLine.com

9:13 When Ashley Greene got the Twilight gig, the first person she called was her dad. Jones has heard everyone’s “I got the call” story. Stewart got the call, “then my mom made me go do yardwork outside.”

9:16 Reaser on wrapping the film: “It’s just so weird to end something, and five movies… it hit us, we were in shock.” But she knows the promo campaign will last a while longer. Whispers: “It’s never gonna end.”

9:17 Reaser on the possibility of reprising her role in additional Twilight films, post-Breaking Dawn: “I think Stephenie’s done with us.”

9:19 Reed on Rosalie and Bella’s relationship in Breaking Dawn: “I think they find some sort of middle ground… Rosalie wants to be a mom so she finds a way to work through her anger…”

9:20 Reaser’s favorite deleted scene: “There was a scene that was deleted in the first movie, it was our little sexy scene. I remember that was a good scene. I kept wanting it to be more sexy. Catherine Hardwicke and I wanted it to be more hot, we were like ‘They’re going to go do something else now.’ and Peter was like, ‘No, no, no…’”

9:24 The Wedding Scene! Cast is tight-lipped, but they can at least say:

Greene: “At least filming wise, we do have the most fun when we’re all together… it reminded me of the baseball scene.”

Reaser: “And it’s so beautiful, it really looks like a dream wedding… I don’t think I can tell you anything about it.”

Greene: “Well, I hung all those flowers, so…”

9:25 On cos-play: “I’d like to dress up as Batman,” says Reaser. Reed and Facinelli dressed up as the Wonder Twins for a promo. Stewart would cos-play as a zombie.

9:26 Would they ever wait in line for something, like the Twilight fans do for Comic-Con? Reaser: “If I knew the White Stripes were going to come to the tent… I think I would.”

9:28 The international vampires were “much sexier” than the American vamps: The Egyptians, the Denali clan, “those nutty Romanian guys… very S&M inspired.”

9:30 What items did they take home from set? Sweatpants, make-up, and craft service. “I took some socks,” quips Reaser, “but that’s because I needed some.” ELIZABETH REASER FOR THE WIN!

10:30 Stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, and director Bill Condon arrive.

10:34 Bill Condon discusses what it was like to film in Brazil, but WHAT THE HECK IS ON ROBERT PATTINSON’S HEAD? New haircut. Like he shaved one half of his head and went to do this press conference and forgot to finish the other side.

Oh right, Brazil: Shooting on the streets of Brazil, people would literally stop and try to grab Pattinson during filming.

10:37 Will Breaking Dawn really, truly, be the end of the saga? Pattinson answers with trademark goofy aplomb, mumbling something about breakfast time. Condon steps in: “There are so many characters, I suspect [Stephenie] will want to revisit them at some time.”

10:38 The Wedding Scene was kept most under wraps during filming. “I had a Volturi cloak on, because that’s all we had to cover up,” said Stewart of hiding Bella’s dress while helicopters flew over head hoping for a peek.

10:39 The cast seems dismayed that the entire sex scene leaked online.

10:40 How did Bella’s pregnancy and ordeal affect Stewart? “It’s hard for me to take myself out of it. I’ve been building up to these moments for 4 years, I was 17 when we started. This one is loaded with those huge cathartic moments, and they’re rooted in a reality that I can see myself in.”

“I can’t let the book punch me in the face every morning… you have to let the moments happen.”

Stewart feels the film is close to the book. Condon calls Stewart a huge fan of the book, she knew what Bella would feel in every moment.

10:43 Favorite scenes:

Lautner: I’ve always been able to choose one, but in this one I can’t. There’s so much going on in this movie and all of the characters are dealing with their own thing… Jacob changes so much from the beginning to the end, so it’s hard for me to choose.

Stewart picks one that has nothing to do with either Edward or Jacob: “There’s a scene with me and Charlie at the wedding that I love so much, and also with Renee.”

Pattinson picks the birth scene! “For a fantasy film with a young audience, it goes quite far… but there’s no other way to do it.”

10:45 Condon discusses his love of Dark Shadows, which he grew up watching. He’s always been into vampires.

10:48 Stewart says Twilight couldn’t have worked as an indie film. Turning to Condon: “It’s nice to work with an A-lister!”

10:47 What are some nerdy things the cast has learned about each other?

“Breakfast time!” says Stewart. “Kristen literally only watches the cooking channel,” says Pattinson. She must always watch the cooking channel in every room, and it’s “her only diva-ish behavior.”

Here are more videos from the Press Conference:

And over at Hall H @Twilight has tweeted :

Hall H is at capacity and ready to go!! #SDCC #BreakingDawnPart1

They’re here!!

The panel at Hall H namely Bill Condon, Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner have revealed TWO clips to the fans!
First one was of Jacob talking to the Pack about protecting Bella and dealing with the thing and the second clip was of the Honeymoon!

WOOT!! Bill Condon also mentioned about the Soundtrack – that they’re still working on it and there’ll be 15 tracks!!


Miranda Richardson ‘Rita Skeeter’ is a Twilight Fan!

In the Harry Potter movies, Miranda Richardson is Rita Skeeter! Little did we know that she’s also a huge Twilight fan! Miranda revealed this in an interview with Collider.

What is it about Breaking Dawn that you’re so excited about?

RICHARDSON: Oh, I’m a huge Twilight fan! I love it! Maybe they’ll invite me to the premiere now.

RICHARDSON: Oh God, don’t do that! I’m Team Edward.

A Review of Red Riding Hood

Some of you might wonder why I’m reviewing a movie that is not Twilight related. Is it because it involves a wolf? Not at all. Red Riding Hood and Twilight does have a little bit of common ground – in the directing and acting. Catherine Hardwicke, the woman who brought Twilight to the big screens directed this movie and casted Billy Burke as one of the characters. (His acting was superb BTW) And just for your information, Leonardo DiCaprio produced this movie. ;)

Red Riding Hood might seem like the innocent fairytale story we know of but looks can be deceiving. I watched the movie with my friend and I told her since Catherine directed this movie, it might looked a little bit like Twilight. And true enough, the first few scenes reminded me of Catherine’s creation of the Twilight world! Vast lands of pine trees, with snow covered mountains from a bird’s eye view – so Twilight! I was fangirling during that moment =P

The movie revolves around a young village girl named Valerie, played by Amanda Seyfried (love her BTW) whose village has been haunted by a werewolf.

Amanda Seyfried as Valere AKA Red Riding Hood

She’s best friends since childhood with a young lad by the name of Peter, played by Shiloh Fernandez. (My friend told me that he was one of the candidates to play the role of Edward Cullen, but oh well, Robert Pattinson, you’re still the best!) And as you all know, if you’re best friends with a guy, it always eds with love.

Shiloh Fernandez as Peter AKA Valerie’s childhood best friend

However, she’s caught in a love triangle as she is to be engaged to the village’s swordsmith’s son Henry, played by Max Irons. So when I noticed this, something clicked to my mind… this looks familiar.

Max Iron as Henry AKA potential husband to Valerie

Henry and Peter. And if you put Valerie in between.. well you get my drift

The village has been trying to catch the wolf but to no avail. See, the werewolf in this movie only comes out on a full moon. If it’s the night of the blood moon, aka red moon, it’s a danger to anyone who has been bitten. Once bitten, it’ll take you three days to be one. They asked the help of a Father Solomon played by Gary Oldman and well… you feel like kicking his butt for the way he acts around the village but oh well, karma bites him in the rear end.

When the werewolf appears, something clicked again to my mind. I’ve seen this before! Oh yes, New Moon! I’ll let you guys guess who the werewolf reminds you of from the Quileute wolfpack. ;)

Valerie aka Red Riding Hood has the ability to communicate with this werewolf and the plot thickens.

This movie isn’t predictable and it makes you guess throughout on who is the “big bad wolf”. It’s a bit cheesy and cliched, on my part, but I’m not sure about you guys.

The revealing of the “big bad wolf” was surprising but the ending well, let’s just say that forbidden love rules all! ;)

Twilight fans, you’ll enjoy it as there are scenes that will remind you of Twilight and our beloved trio – Edward, Bella and Jacob! And some of the lines too! ;)

Parents, a word of caution! The movie is highly sensual and well gross in some parts. The fairytale that we all love is not at all similar to the movie well except for “Grandma, what big eyes you have” and you know the rest.

Enjoy the movie and if you have watched it, do comment about it on this post!
