TWILIGHTAHOLICS! Part 2~*~ Should've been started by Caribbeanprincess!!!!

[Caribbeanprincess]

News is coming in like crazy!

The hectic pace planned for filming the next two Twilight sequels might have played a larger role in director Catherine Hardwicke's decision not to work on the film's follow-up New Moon.

According to sources that talked with Entertainment Weekly, the fast-paced schedule for production which begins with pre-production on Dec. 15 in Vancouver, was a big turn-off for the director. "She'd love to do the sequel if she could do it better than Twilight," the spy said.

In addition, the role of Jacob is now up for grabs as Taylor Lautner will not be reprising it in the sequel. Summit Entertainment deemed him too young-looking and slight of frame to play the maturing werewolf.

So now, the hunt for a Native American young man who fits the description of Jacob Black AND who demonstrates incredible chemistry with Kristen Bell is on.

That should be easy. While they're at it, why don't they fetch me a unicorn and a the other half of this golden amulet?

Rumors are swirling that Michael Copon, most noted for his work in One Tree Hill, is the new Jacob Black. According to his seemingly official Facebook page, his status update is “Michael is the older Jacob Black”. Now, this could easily be doctored, but I think it might just be true. He would be a good fit–he really does look like a bigger, older Taylor Lautner. Copon is 6′1″ and 26 years old, Lautner is 5′6″ and 16 years old. You do the math. Check him out below in his role in Scorpion King: Rise of the Warrior:

Sources tell Entertainment Weekly that Summit Entertainment is about to hire Chris Weitz (The Golden Compass) as the shepherd for New Moon, the second installment of Stephenie Meyer's best-selling Twilight series. http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2008/12/its-official-ch.html

Weitz is best-known for his work with his brother Paul. The two directed and produced American Pie and then were nominated for an Academy Award for best screenplay for About a Boy, which they also co-directed. Chris' first solo directing gig, The Golden Compass, didn't do well stateside but was a hit internationally.

Twilight, directed by Catherine Hardwicke, has grossed more than $141 million so far, but Hardwicke had clashed with the studio during production. It was announced early this week that she would not be making New Moon. Weitz has a solid relationship with Summit's top brass; he's considered easy to work with and has experience with special effects. "He's the quality-of-life-choice," says one source. While Summit insists "we have not yet signed Chris Weitz to do New Moon," and Weitz's agency says no deal has been signed, other sources say the deal is imminent, and that Summit has stopped negotiations with other potential Moon directors. Summit had planned to announce this hiring decision on Sunday, Dec. 14, and could have Weitz in Vancouver, B.C. as early as Monday to start pre-production on the film.

Well, even though I'm totally Team Edward, I'm bummed Taylor won't be coming back. I thought he was great and I really think they could have made him work!!

Gayle,

Reneseme is not venomous. She even bites Jacob all the time. Edward pushed the syringe of venom into directly into Bella's heart to speed up the process, and he also bit her when he had to tear Reneseme out of Bella. So it was Edward that changed her.

Tarra

Some more white stuff:
And another thing, when Nahuel shows up at the end of BD, he says that HE is venomous, but his half-sisters are not-- so Carlisle and Edward are speculating that it's linked to the Y chromosome- only male half-vamps are venomous. Which is a good thing, since Jacob can't be changed into a vampire for Renesmee.

Tarra,
That's right! I forgot she does that to Jacob all the time! LOL Also, I remember that Edward shot the venom straight into her heart and kept on biting her and sealing with his venom as he kept on biting her. I guess I didn't realize that he bit her when he was to tear out Reneseme. I thought Rosalie cut her open but then Edward bit through the layer of vampire skin holding in the baby. Which I guess really is biting her too. [/COLOR

Thanks!

Yeah, I was thinking about that, too: because it says when he shot his venom into her heart, he was also biting her elsewhere to get it into as many points as possible, and sealing it over with his venom. I was wondering if he also sealed over the wounds made in her abdomen from delivering the baby. Because she was so bled out by that point, you'd think to try to keep the body going he would need to stop the bleeding as much as possible. It does say that he was "trying to put Bella back together." Everything happened so fast, though. Seems like there was hardly time.

Just interesting to think about. I understand some people really had a tough time reading this part-- it's so intense-- but I thought it was really well done. It didn't bother me as much, maybe because I've been through child birth with my 3 kids, and the birth of my oldest was kind of traumatic!

Just interesting to think about.

I just hope it will be as seamless a switch as in HP with Dumbledore.

To be quite honest...that is all pretty terrible news. I loved Taylor and thought him and Kristen had that chemistry. If they really actually tried to make him look older, they could, they are just being lazy and probably trying to cut corners for budget and time reasons. And the whole Chris Weitz is so iffy. It could go either way with him and that is worrisome.

When I told DBF that he was rumored to be the next director he said "lol ew. Twilight: with guest apperences by Stiffler and polar bears"

 

[Caribbeanprincess]

I just remember Golden Compass and shudder...

I really hope he goes the About a Boy way on this, because I love that movie. At this point it could be either really good or really bad. I'm hoping for the best, but at the moment I'm not impressed.

I didn't see either movie, but the trailer for GC looked pretty cool ( At least the special effects. )

I'm grasping here guys, someboy help me out.

GC wasn't a great movie but it was watchable. I also love About a Boy!!! Hopefully, he'll go the AaB way and focus more on the relationships and not so much the big budget special effects. Don't get me wrong I want the special effects to improve this time around but not at the expensive of character development.

Well ladies, I'm off to The World! Unfortunately I won't be able to take my laptop with me, so I'll be back on the 21st! Keep me posted!

Have a great time CP!

I'm going for the seventh time tonight to celebrate teh end of my semester (and sleep deprivation!) I really need it after getting my mega assignment back from my professor. We're all really ticked off with how he graded. I was going to go last night but the friend I was going with forgot she had to work. I will definitely have to look for the religious bracelets.

A few things about the books or movie that I have been musing about:

-Anybody notice when you are first introduced to the Cullens in the movie Edward is the only one not wearing white? He has on a blue shirt which still fits nicely into the cool spectrum of the color scheme, but it makes him stand out even from the other Cullens. I thought that was a neat little cinematic trick.

-I also noticed in the movie that at times it looked like Bella was paler than Edward, most noticeably in the restaurant scene. Edward was looking almost a little tan. You would think they would have compensated for the lighting.

-In the books, Bella makes the comment that Edward didn't want her to know the three day thing and acts surprised that she does. I always thought this was odd because he himself told her when he talked about Carlisle hiding for three days.

-In New Moon Meyer describes the meadow as being perfectly round, as if a giant hand had ripped up the trees and left no trace. Does anybody else wonder if that was Edward's doing?

Have a good flight and first few days here I'll keep an eye out for you on Sunday, hopefully we'll find each other!

I'm so happy - I now have all the books on my kindle - ahh bliss, I can carry them all at once and read them anytime now. My Kindle is a purse staple item now!

I'm itching to go back to the movies again - I guess 5 times isn't enough, lol!

travelmel, your signature cracks me up! there is also a bit of six degrees of separation in regards to it and twilight...

the dancers are the group "sparkle motion" from the movie donnie darko, samantha darko is donnie's younger sister and one of the dancers. now there is a sequel to donnie darko coming out called s. darko that is all about samantha and a road trip and she falls for a boy named jeremy played by jackson rathbone, who we all know and love as jasper from twilight!

that was fun!

To "lol ew. Twilight: with guest apperences by Stiffler and polar bears"

I liked the Golden Compass but I did not read the book and it seems like people didn't like the adaptation. After I saw that movie I said, "Wow, that was interesting, I want to read the book." But I never did.

Well ladies, I'm off to The World! Unfortunately I won't be able to take my laptop with me, so I'll be back on the 21st! Keep me posted!

Have a great trip!!!

Fun! Thanks for the trivia! I had no idea where those dancers came from. I've never seen the movie. Is it violent?
