Star-crossed Love

It's been called "wonderfully entertaining", "a full-blown pop culture phenomenon", "epic", "sexy", "stylish". But what makes Twilight all of these things?
Maybe it's the star-crossed love between immortal Edward and mortal Bella, maybe it's the amazing writing of Stephanie Meyer, perhaps the fantastic directing of Catherine Hardwicke, or maybe the prestine acting from Pattinson, Stewart and all the other amazing actors and actresses that made the scenes of Twilight come to life.
I'm going to talk about each of these possiblities and why it makes Twilight an amazing film series and book series! Starting with...

Star-Crossed Love!

Edward is an immortal, he'll never die, he'll never age and it's almost impossible to kill him. Bella is a mortal, she'll eventually die, she'll always age and it is possible to kill her. So why are they so attracted to each other?
Bella's blood is like a drug to Edward, he could crush her skull as he brushes her cheek, his self control could snap and he could suck every galleon of blood from her body, and yet she's completely enthralled and amazed with him.

"...Everything about me invites you in...my face...my voice...even my smell..." (Edward Cullen)

Edward wants Bella to be safe away from him, and yet not even he can stay away.
"Starcrossed" ultimately means, ill-fated. In other words, no matter what they do the'll lose something.
Bella wants to be with Edward forever, the only way she can do this is to become immortal - become a vampire. The cost? Her humanity, her family and everything that Edward initially fell in love with about her. But is that what really matters?
Then if she doesn't change she'll age and eventually die. The cost for this option? Total destruction in the minds and hearts of these two souls. And a timeless parting between them, death for one and for the other - an eternal walk on the earth without the one who made him whole.

"...Edward is pretty much sleepwalking until Bella comes along..." (Kristen Stewart)

"For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul" - Judy Garland

Jacob Black? Rumors...

Jacob Black? Taylor Lautner? "Baby Face"?

I've had a comment on my recent post about the "would-be" change of Taylor Lautner's role of Jacob Black.

Nothing has been yet confirmed that Taylor is not coming back in New Moon. As all of you fans know, in New Moon and the rest of the series, Taylor goes through a change right before Bella's eyes. His physical appearance changes from the physique and strength of a 17 year-old to the physique and strength of a 25 year-old.

Rumors say that Summit wasn't sure that they could "buff-up" Taylor enough for the part in New Moon; frequently calling him "Baby-Face Taylor". Lautner's agent actually went to Summit and showed examples of the digital work that David Fincher did on Brad Pitt in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button pleading with them that they could make it work. There are many other ways to make someone look bigger, camera tricks, the height of the set, lift in their shoes.

Again, these are rumors so don't go getting angry with me when "Baby-Face Taylor" shows up in New Moon. I'd much rather see him than anyone else for Jacob. I think he captured the essence of Jacob perfectly, and changing a lead role like that in the middle of a movie series kind of messes up the whole magic of the film. It would make Twilight seem like it's own movie separate from the rest of the films!

As soon as any public announcements are made, I'll be posting! Leave Comments!

Chris Weitz

Chris Weitz will be replacing Catherine Hardwicke in the movie New Moon and probably the rest of the movie series. It was publicly announced a few weeks ago and is headlining all the major Twilight fan sites.

Rumors say that Catherine was always butting heads with Summit and didn't agree with many of their ideas and rules. Hardwicke, apparently, wanted to take her time with New Moon, Summit wanted to rush it into pre-production a short while after the opening of Twilight.

Rumors also said that Catherine was very dismissive to any of the actors suggestions. But I heard that Kristen was the one that suggested to Catherine that they play the song "Flightless Bird, American Mouth" during the Monte Carlo scene in Twilight. So maybe Hardwicke did take some suggestions...

Many fans, including myself, hope that Summit doesn't sacrifice the quality of the Twilight movies for the money.

Meet...Edward Anthony Masen Cullen!

The oldest of the Cullen family, and fastest of the Vampire Clan. Edward Anthony Masen was born in 1910 and became a vampire in the Summer of 1918 when he was dying of Spanish Influenza at seventeen years-old. Edward, along with Esme Cullen, was changed by Dr. Carlisle Cullen, after a dying Elizabeth Mason begged Carlisle to do everything in his power to save her son. Elizabeth didn't know the fate that she was condemning her son to.

The "seventeen year-old" moved, with his "adopted" family to Forks, Washington. The rain and clouds were helpful to the family of vampires, because sun revealed what they really looked like; but whenever the clouds parted, the Cullens "disappeared".

There, at Forks Highschool, Edward meets Isabella Swan, seventeen year-old daughter of Police Chief Charlie Swan. After almost 90 years of strict abstinence from human blood, he realizes how strong Bella's scent is and how much it tempts him.

Edward tries at first, to explain to her why he's so dangerous and why she should stay away from him; but when he learns how warm and loving Bella is, he can't help to stay away from her, risking her life and his.

Edward Cullen is described by Meyer, as impossibly gorgeous. With an angular face, a prominent jawline, a straight nose, beautiful lips and a disarray of bronze hair. His eyes change color and he has a dazzling crooked smile. Edward stands six feet, two inches, with a muscular, slender body, and appears to be an average seventeen year-old boy, but is far from it.

Within the span of the next four books, Bella falls head over heels for a dangerous but irresistible vampire and Edward fights the urge to kill her tempted by everything she is.

"...so the lion fell in love with the lamb...what a stupid lamb...what a sick masochistic lion!"

NEW INFO FOR NEW MOON!!!

Catherine Hardwicke may not direct New Moon or any of the following movies, more details to come!

Rumors have been going around that Taylor Lautner, who plays Jacob Black, may not be back in the movie New Moon. An insider quoted that they have been thinking about Michael Copon, Scorpion King 2: Rise of the Warrior, to play Jacob instead of Taylor.

No information yet on why Taylor is not coming back and if he is or not! As soon as I get the deets, I'll post them!

Please, tell us what you think about this new information and whether you like or disklike the idea of Taylor Lautner leaving the Twilight Cast!

Will Taylor leave Twilight? And will Michael Copon be able to handle the role of Jacob Black?!

Meet...Isabella Marie Swan and the Cullen Family

Now that you know about Kristen Stewart, you should know about her character, Isabella Marie Swan.
Bella, was born on September 13th, and is introduced in Twilight as a seventeen year-old junior. Her parents, Charlie Swan and Renee Dwyer, divorced, soon after, Renee married Phil, a major leauge baseball player. Bella knew that Renee was unhappy staying at home when her husband was traveling, so she thought she'd take some time to spend with her father Charlie, in Forks, Washington.
Stephanie Meyer describes Bella as a very fair-skinned woman with dark brown hair and chocolate brown eyes and a heart-shaped face. She has a wide forehead, large, wide-spaced eyes, and prominent cheekbones. She is an unmuscular and quite uncordinated girl, weighing 110 pounds and at a height of five foot four inches tall. She does not think of herself as beautiful, but she is alone in this opinion.
Within the first month of school, Mike, Tyler and Eric all ask Bella to the Spring Dance. (In the movie, they make it the Prom instead and Mike is the only one to ask Bella even though Tyler likes her too, and Eric likes Angela) Bella turns them all down, purposely making plans to visit her mother and Phil in Jacksonville.
She falls, literally, for Edward Cullen, she meets him and his family in their amazing home on the outskirts of town. But after two deaths in the town and careful calculations, Bella admitts her theories. "...Edward was a vampire..." She then finds that Dr. Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Rosalie, Alice and Jasper are all vampires too, each with their own talent.
Dr. Carlisle has the amazing gift of healing and teaching, he teaches his family to control their animal side and live peacefully among humans.
Emmett has amazing strength and power. Esme is gracefully peaceful and motherly. Rosalie is a beautiful woman with a hint of pessimism but a big heart with many wounds. Jasper has a gift with emotions, he can change any mood of any amount of people. Alice can see the future, with paranormal premonisions, though sometimes selective, her visions turn out to be very helpful. And then Edward can read minds, apart from Bella's, and is very fast. All concluded with flawless skin, pale as ever, cold, and strength, speed, hearing and senses like no other human. Truly the worlds most feared predators.
(I'll be back with more on Bella, but this is all for now! Leave comments on which Cullen you'd like me to talk about next!)

3 Movies???

Okay, so before any of you Twilight nuts have ulcers, I want you to know that I've been corrected a few times on the "only 3 movies" thing. I saw an interview with MTV and Rob Pattinson in which the interviewer asked Rob if he would be participating in the next 3 movies. Plus, I, along with some of my family members and friends, read in numerous articles that there would only be 3 movies. But, again, it is just a rumor and it would be amazing if there were 4 movies, I mean more chances to see the Cullen boys, right?!

Kirsten Stewart

Kirsten Jaymes Stewart was born on the 9th of April in the year 1990, Los Angeles California -- making her a perfect Aries!
She actually had to wear brown contact lenses because her eyes are naturally green and Stephanie Meyer saw Bella's character with brown eyes.
Kirsten owns a cat named "Jella", which unintentionally rhymes with "Bella", as you've probably noticed.
Got cast as Isabella Marie Swan in Febuary 2008 and began filming after finding the perfect Edward Cullen, Rob Pattinson.
The talented eighteen-year-old just completed "Adventureland" and is in the middle of filming "Welcome to the Rileys", both expected to appear in theaters in 2009.
She's stared in movie genres from Drama and Action to Horror and Sci-Fi. And she's not done yet!

Fans...? From the cast of Twilight! From "Teen" Magazine!

...Each of the cast members admitted they had no idea what they were getting themselves into when they signed on for the movie, and were completely unaware of how loyal and dedicated Twilight fans are -- not to mention how many of them already existed!
"After I booked [the part of Jacob], I checked out the fan sites...and it's crazy," says Taylor [Lautner], "Then at my school, girls were reading it left and right. In my chemistry class, I looked to my left and a girl was reading Twilight, and then in another class, a girl was reading New Moon. It was hilarious. I even had a substitute teacher once who said, 'I heard you're going to be in Twilight. That's my favorite book!"...
