Boo Boo makes a Boo Boo (Most obvious headline Ever!!)
New “Eclipse” cast member BooBoo Stewart sent the Twi-hards into a frenzy on Friday when he told Access Hollywood there would be two more movies in the “Twilight Saga” after the third chapter, “Eclipse.”
However, a rep for Summit Entertainment – the studio behind the hit vampire film franchise – has now told Access that BooBoo (who will join the big screen saga as wolfpack member Seth Clearwater in the next installment) was premature in his statements. Although BooBoo has contract options for additional films after “Eclipse,” there are no guarantees yet that those films will be made. And while a fourth film in the series is likely since there were four books in the popular Stephanie Meyer’s series, the studio could not confirm “Breaking Dawn” would make it to the big screen just yet.
“New Moon,” the second film in the series, will hit theaters on November 20. Filming on the third chapter, “Eclipse,” began earlier this month in Vancouver.“Eclipse” will hit theaters in North America on Wednesday, June 30, 2010.

Scans of THAT Mirror article
Remember 'this' from the other day - the Exclusive interview that Rob was single from the man himself apparently...the story his agent later denied ever happened..well you can read the fabrication for yourself just so you can see how crazy these people are. I hope the scans are readable for everyone - let me know if not and i'll see what i can do : Bee.
The 'Bouffant' lives on.....
Is the 'Bouffant' made famous by RPattz starting a new trend much like the Jennifer Aniston craze in the 90's at the height of 'Friends' fame? No, probably not, but this is could be the start dontcha think?
We think Kyle Gallner (Haunting in Connecticut, Smallville, Veronica Mars etc.,) is trying to pull of his best 'Edward' look here...doesnt have quite the same effect on us, but not a bad effort!
'Secrets' from the New Moon Set
(From Bee: Snippets of this interview have been posted here previously but this is the whole thing, and its epic (in length and detail). Beware of Set Spoilers so dont read if you would rather be kept in the dark until New Moon comes out in November)
EW.Com reports: Kristen Stewart lies on a beige carpet, surrounded by a mess of pink roses and broken crystal. Her sweater is ripped, revealing a bloody gash on her right arm. It's April in Vancouver, and the “New Moon” cast is filming Bella Swan's climactic 18th-birthday celebration — the one cut short after an innocent paper cut turns the Cullen family, in one split second, from civilized “vegetarian” vampires into six beastly creatures hungry for sweet human blood. Director Chris Weitz wants another take of Edward (Robert Pattinson) fighting off his vampire brother Jasper (Jackson Rathbone), as Stewart lies injured in the background.
This is the third freezing night in a row that the cast has worked until dawn, but that doesn't stop the set from feeling warm and jovial. Pattinson mugs for the movie camera between takes and teases his costar for just lying on the floor in the midst of all the vamp-on-vamp violence. “Do you want Kristen to give us a little life back there?” he jokes to the director. Kristen smiles. “I'm just writhing down here,” she says. “A lot of writhing. I writhe really well.”(Bee: Pretty sure Rob knew that already ;0) sorry, dirty mind)
So do “Twilight” fans. Right now, for instance, millions of them around the world are writhing in delicious agony as they wait for “New Moon” to hit theaters on Nov. 20. Last year “Twilight,” the first adaptation of author Stephenie Meyer's series, grossed close to $400 million worldwide and set Stewart and Pattinson on the road to superstardom — and superscrutiny. Now the team is back with “New Moon,” though the sequel is a different beast — and one that's not as easy to tame. Meyer's second book is steeped in heartbreak and sadness, focusing on Bella's road to recovery after Edward smashes her heart into a million pieces and then vanishes. In addition to the melodrama, the movie has to make do with very little of the dreamy Edward Cullen. Instead, it mainly concerns the burgeoning relationship between Bella and her friend Jacob (Taylor Lautner), who transforms into a gnarling werewolf.
Pattinson couldn't be happier with his downsized role. “It was a stress-free job for three months,” says the actor, 23, in his charming British lilt. “All the pressure was on Taylor.”
In truth, no one in ‘Twilight’-world should be feeling any pain. Sure, there have been some minicontroversies. First, director Weitz (“The Golden Compass”) replaced “Twilight” helmer Catherine Hardwicke. Then Lautner publicly campaigned to keep the role of Jacob as the character grew deeper (and taller). And recently, actress Rachelle Lefevre, who plays the vengeful redheaded vampire Victoria, was replaced by Bryce Dallas Howard for the soon-to-be-shot third film in the series, “Eclipse.” Each of these flaps rattled fans — but seemingly only strengthened their commitment to the franchise. Could anyone doubt that “New Moon” will be a hit come fall?
Perhaps that's why the set feels a bit like summer camp — albeit a very cold, very dark summer camp filled with vampires and blood. “In a weird way, there is less pressure this time around, since it's something we know people want to see,” says producer Wyck Godfrey. Summit Entertainment, the studio behind the movies, has already proved that it will stay as true to Meyer's vision as possible. “I told Summit that they could probably get a talking chimp to direct ‘New Moon’, and it would still do well,” says Weitz.
Weitz replaced Hardwicke mere weeks after “Twilight” became a box office sensation last November. Depending upon whom you talk to, Hardwicke left the franchise either because of a scheduling conflict or because she wanted, among other things, a bigger budget for “New Moon” and more time in which to shoot it. What no one debates is that the studio needed a director who could handle the expanded scope of the sequel, which called for hulking werewolves and a location shoot in Italy. Summit also wanted a filmmaker well versed in special effects, particularly after the first movie was ridiculed for the scene in which Edward's skin is exposed to sunlight and begins sparkling like he's in a weird body-lotion commercial.(Bee: Edward, body lotion, hmmm....)
Weitz had the right F/X cred for the job. The Cambridge grad had spent three years overseeing the otherworldly creatures in his 2007 adaptation of Philip Pullman's “The Golden Compass.” The film didn't score with most critics, but its visual effects won an Oscar.
So, with the exception of being, you know, male, Weitz seemed a good fit for “New Moon.” Aware that his gender is a sticking point with many fans, the director, talking on set between takes, downplays his testosterone levels. “I've always made movies for women,” he says. “I'm in the more girly gradient of male directors. The thing I'm least interested in is blowing stuff up.”
The moment Weitz was hired, he was thrown into the debate about whether Lautner should reprise his role as Jacob. Was this eager young actor right for such a steep character arc, and able to transform from wide-eyed boy to beastly monster? “If there was one thing that we were petrified of, going into ‘New Moon’, it was the casting decision of Jacob,” says Godfrey.
The filmmakers eventually tapped Lautner again, partly because he had a fan not just in Weitz but in Kristen Stewart. “It's completely understandable why they wanted to make sure he was right,” says the actress, 19. “He was so young, 16, so I got it. But I knew he had [to do] it. Just because of how I felt around him. I literally saw Jacob in him.”
And how did the Bella-Jacob chemistry play out on set? “We have that relationship,” she says. “It's lamely cute. I love that kid. I would do anything for him. I would kill for him, literally.”
Needless to say, Lautner — who played SharkBoy in Robert Rodriguez's 2005 “The Adventures of SharkBoy and LavaGirl in 3-D” — is thrilled to be on board. He talks giddily about standing shirtless under freezing rain towers, and about the number of stunts he gets to do, but it's clear that the biggest challenge was turning werewolf. “Sometimes we'll film two scenes in one day, one pretransformation and one post-,” says Lautner, now 17. “So I have to change my mind-set: Okay, I'm little Jacob-poo — and now I'm a big bad wolf.”
From the looks of things on the set, Lautner will delight the contingent of fans known as Team Jacob. The Michigan native has packed 32 pounds onto his frame, downing protein shakes and other high-calorie foods during an intense 11-month training. But what may shock moviegoers — if they can stop gazing at his abs long enough — is that it seems the guy can actually act. (Bee: Anyone else shocked? I'm not!)
“I think that Taylor is really going to surprise people in the movie,” says Weitz over coffee, three weeks before he's due to finish editing the picture. “People have seen his body and all that stuff and it's a shocker because it's hard to believe that anyone can be quite so carved. But he actually delivers a really great performance. He wasn't just exercising all day, he was also reading the book quite a lot.”
Stewart can be a pretty serious bookworm herself. At this point, she may know Bella as well as Meyer does, and, like many on the set, she won't let anything, not a director nor a script, trample on the author's original intentions. “We definitely feel protective of the series,” says the actress, who has no problem stopping a scene if a note rings false. “The directors are interchangeable, so while it's exciting to have new opinions, at the same time it's like, ‘Look, this has way more to do with what we have already created.’”
While making the first movie, Summit kept urging Stewart and Pattinson to ease up on the teenage angst. Now Stewart's diving headlong into heartache. She says she reached her breaking point one long, cold night in the forest while filming the pivotal scene where Edward abandons her.
“Before the scene, I was sitting in my car, like f---ing crying — crying so hard you can't breathe,” she says. “Because I was really overwhelmed and intimidated by the scene. Everyone says, ‘She better be able to pull off the emotion in this movie!’ And it's such an important moment in the book, when he leaves.” The scene exhausted her. “I'm thinking, ‘We have to be done now,’” she remembers. “‘Just tell me we're done.’”
Despite the heavy emotional weather in “New Moon,” director Weitz remained calm and contemplative, as different from the driven, frenetic Hardwicke as Jacob is from Edward. On particularly tough days, Weitz wore a shirt bearing the WWII British propaganda slogan “Keep Calm and Carry On.” Sometimes he'd sit in the director's chair and read sci-fi novels while the crew readied the next shot. “[Making ‘Twilight’] was much more of a fight,” says Stewart. “Everyone was a little more scared. We needed to make something commercial but stay true to the book. We didn't have as much money. It was all very impulsive, and that's what I love about that f---ing movie.”
She pauses. “But I think ‘New Moon’ is gonna be even better.”
Well all we can say is : Is it November yet?
"Robert Pattinson Refuses to Lose"
Since its a slow news week...lets have some a look at the latest work of fiction from Showbiz Spy!
"Robert Pattinson always gets his way. The hunky British actor — who successfully wooed his Twilight costar Kristen Stewart away from her longtime boyfriend Michael Angarano — is always focused, seems tireless, keeps his sense of humor and, most importantly — doesn’t take himself that seriously. “Rob has the balance of being the hottest dude in town without acting like it’s a given right,” a source (inside their head)close to the actor told an American tabloid. “But Rob always makes sure he gets his way.”"Meanwhile, sources on the Vancouver, Canada, set of Eclipse — the third film in the smash hit Twilight movie franchise — say Stewart, 19, is much happier thanks to her romance with the hunky 23-year-old British actor. “Everyone on the set approves of their pairing, because they really like both of them,” (really ! everyone! even Summit!) a source recently told American’s OK! magazine.
“And they hope that love will blossom even more during the filming of Eclipse. “Kristen is like a different girl on set these days. She is walking around with a smile on her face all the time and when Robert walks on set she smiles even more (well wouldn't you?) This is truly a young woman in love.” “They are definitely a couple and they are very much in love. Neither of them is rushing into anything, they are just having a good time hanging out, but they plan to explore their relationship even more while they are filming,” added another source (seriously, i think these people are hearing voices). “While they aren’t going to be hiding their relationship any longer, don’t look for them to be flaunting it either. They’re still both pretty private people.”(exactly, so stop set stalking them!)
