Taking a Blog Break

Thanks for stopping by.  I have had to take a break from the blog for a while.  Maybe if things calm down, we'll be back at some point.

BREAKING DAWN Release Date

A few reports have surfaced this morning saying that Summit has revealed an official release date for BREAKING DAWN..... November 18, 2011.   This makes sense and falls in with the TWILIGHT and NEW MOON release dates.

This means two things to me 1)  Only one release date, means only one movie - if this is true, it  makes me happy  2) We have to wait a year and a half after ECLIPSE - this makes me sad, but also kind of happy since they will have time to work on it and really do it right :-)


Note:  So The release date is official from Summit.  And many are still specualting that there will be 2 movies and are citing "inside sources".  We'll have to wait and see.

BREAKING DAWN News!! Director Named and Stephenie Meyer to be a Producer!!

Check it all out here.

I think it's awesome that Stephenie will be involved as a Producer.  I think that having her close by on this one will prove to be a HUGE asset. 

ECLIPSE Trailer MashUp

YouTube User OasisTwilight has taken the 2 ECLIPSE Trailers and put them together for an extended HD trailer.  Love the fans who do these things and share them with everyone!  :-)

I just have to say, one of my biggest complaints about the trailers is how stinking unresponsive and indifferent Bella looks with Edward, when he is declaring his love, giving her the ring, holding her in the meadow.... I feel like a crap for picking at it like that, because really I like most of what I have seen BUT I get so frustrated with the Bella/Edward relationship connection (or lack of) in the movies sometimes. In the book she had strong reactions, I hope we see them in the movie :-) Rant over.  Enjoy the trailer.

Official ECLIPSE / Twilight Saga Movie Site

ECLIPSE Re-Shoots

With only a little over 2 months until the release of ECLIPSE new reports have surfaced that some key scenes need to be re-shot in Vancouver.  LaineyGossip has the Exclusive Report.  I know not everyone likes her (she's not a Twi-Fan, I happen to like her anyway LOL) but she is in Vancouver, seems to have some good contacts and is usually VERY accurate!

Read her exclusive here and tell us what you think about it.

I have chosen to completely ignore the mention of one Catherine Hardwicke... la la la la

Ever Wonder WhyThere's No Blue in The Twilight Movies? Blue October, That Is...

It's something most of us have discussed at one point or another.  Blue October was one of the major influences in Stephenie's writing of the Twilight Sage.  Justin Furestenfeld, lead singer and songwriter of BO, headlined the Breaking Dawn Tour with Stephenie Meyer.  But after 2 movies, still no Blue!  (Disclaimer: I am a HUGE HUGE Blue/Justin fan and my opinion has always been that if BO didn't want to be on the soundtracks, OK BUT if they were overlooked, grrrrrrr, not OK!!)

Justin made a very interesting comment on this subject, in an interview out today with BLAST Magazine

Well now, If Blue October really wanted/wants to be on one or more of the Soundtracks and has, for some reason, not been included, I am so VERY disappointed.  I mean come on, specific songs (cough, HATE ME, cough) inspired specific scenes, so it's not like their music doesn't fit.  Personally, as a Blue October/Justin fan I have my own opinions on this, but I'll blog about them on my own blog later today :-)

Rumors circulated last year that Blue October, who toured with Meyer, would have a song on one of the Twilight soundtracks. But it never came to pass, and the reasons behind it remained a mystery.
“Me and Stephenie Meyer are great friends,” Furstenfeld said. “I hate her camp, but I love her..... First movie comes out, no song. Second movie comes out, no song. Her management was like, ‘Everything we told you was a lie.’”

Official New ECLIPSE Stills

Looks like the Cullens are dressed for fighting or fight practice!!

 

I have to say, I think Edward is gonna be smoking HOT in Eclipse, he looks great AND the bad wig isn't lookng quite so bad here :-)

 

This looks perfect for storytime with the tribe, 'round the campfire!

What do you think of the stills??

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An ECLIPSE Novella

Stephenie annouced yesterday that she will be releasing a novella this Summer!!  Here's a little bit of information and some quotes from Stephenie, from the Press Release issued by Little Brown, Stephenie's Publisher.....

I’m as surprised as anyone about this novella,” said Stephenie Meyer. “When I began working on it in 2005, it was simply an exercise to help me examine the other side of Eclipse, which I was editing at the time. I thought it might end up as a short story that I could include on my website. Then, when work started on The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide, I thought the Guide would be a good fit for my Bree story. However, the story grew longer than I anticipated, until it was too long to fit into the Guide.”

As a special thank you to fans, Meyer is giving them exclusive access to the novel on a dedicated website, www.breetanner.com, from June 7 to July 5, 2010 where fans from around the world will be able to read the book online in English. “I’d always considered The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner as something for the fans,” said Meyer. “They have been so supportive of all things Twilight.”

Read more about this on Stephenie's website.

New Victoria

I am going to try my best not to get down on "New Victoria" yet, but I am reallllllly having trouble. While watching the trailer I saw this and thought...OMG she looks like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman! Only a little meaner :-)

I miss Rachelle Lefevre ... I mean she totally rocked Bad Ass Victoria!
