Twilight's Bryce Dallas Howard Explains Taking Over the Role Of Victoria "Twilight" fans are notoriously fickle when it comes to the actors chosen to bring their favorite Stephenie Meyer character to life. In fact, it's now the stuff of "Twilight" legend that following the announcement that Robert Pattinson's would be portraying brooding vampire Edward Cullen, online petitions circled feverishly, decrying the British actor's participation in the saga. A similar uproar occurred last July, when just weeks before production was to begin on the third "Twilight" installment "Eclipse," Bryce Dallas Howard replaced Rachelle Lefevre as villainous vampire Victoria due to scheduling conflicts. Howard revealed that the prospect of taking over the role Lefevre originated in both "Twilight" and "New Moon" was a bit daunting. "It was actually a really unfortunate circumstance where the actress who everyone really cared

Twilight Saga: Eclipse To Launch In Imax I am sure the ladies will love seeing Edward and Jacob in the Buff all 53 ft high. "Twilight Saga: Eclipse," Summit Entertainment's third "Twilight" film, will launch in Imax theaters simultaneously with the film's opening on June 30. Summit and Imax, in a joint announcement Wednesday, said "Eclipse" would be digitally re-mastered into the Imax format. It's the first Summit title to be released in Imax theaters. "Twilight moviegoers will have a whole new way to experience this next installment of the series, with the enhanced image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience putting them in the movie," said Richie Fay, Summit's president of domestic theatrical distribution. The first two films have been outsize successes with "Twilight" grossing $380 million in combined domestic and foreign box office while "New Moon" has hit $500 million worldwide in only three weeks. &qu

Twilight's "Breaking Dawn To Be Made Into Two Films? "The two-week $481 million worldwide gross of "New Moon" has vaulted Summit Entertainment into the big leagues, but it also has created a high-class challenge for toppers Rob Friedman and Patrick Wachsberger. They will likely have to cut a few big checks if they decided, as rumored, to split Stephenie Meyer's final "Twilight" novel, "Breaking Dawn," into two pictures. Sources said Summit has set Melissa Rosenberg -- who wrote the first three films -- to finish the series, but Summit has to clear several hurdles before Rosenberg learns how many more scripts she'll write. One of those hurdles is figuring out whether "New Moon" director Chris Weitz will respond favorably to overtures from the film company and the cast to shoot two more films, back to back. Summit execs would not comment, but multiple sources said the company wants to go the two-film route, which means reopeni

Twilight:New Moon's Huge Opening Weekend Summit Entertainment's vampire-romance sequel "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" opened even bigger than projected with an estimated $140.7 million in domestic grosses. That represented the third-best bow ever, after 2008's "The Dark Knight" ($158.4 million) and 2007's "Spider-Man 3" ($151.1 million) (more here on decade's top grossing films). Some had wondered whether the fanged phenom would fall precipitously from its outsized first-day grosses. But Saturday boxoffice for "New Moon" proved strong, warranting bullish Sunday estimates. "New Moon" rung up $72.7 million Friday -- the biggest single-day tally ever, including a record $26.3 million from opening midnight performances -- then sunk its teeth into $43.2 million, with Summit penciling in $24.8 million for its Sunday tally. The pic's Saturday-over-Friday decline amounted to a manageable 41%, including the outsized witchi

Variety Review Of Twilight Saga:New Moon Spoiler Alert-If your going to watch this week u have been warned!! With more bark than bite, "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" finds its brooding heroine torn from her depressive, bloodsucking boyfriend and thrust into the claws of a hunky werewolf. That's sort of like being caught between a rock and a hard place (or, in high school terms, between a Goth and a jock), and this second screen installment of Stephenie Meyer's bestselling series focuses, somewhat convincingly, on the emotions of an 18-year-old coping with her undying love of the undead. Carried by Kristen Stewart's compellingly dark performance, but also by helmer Chris Weitz's robust visuals, "Moon" should cause boffo B.O. tides and could outperform its predecessor, which grossed $383 million worldwide. While this second chapter of Summit Entertainment's four-part franchise is as good as "Twilight" and arguably a shade better, it's

Twilight's Edward and Jacob's Love Triangle With Bella Team Edward and Team Jacob face off in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, the third film in the vampire series based on Stephenie Meyers' best-selling books, and they share a lot of screen time in the third installment. After Bella (Kristen Stewart) falls for vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) in Twilight, Edward breaks up with her in New Moon, and Jacob (Taylor Lautner) gains traction by supporting Bella in her time of need. It doesn't hurt that he's a buff werewolf who frequently shows off his glistening pecs in the rain. ( Spoilers ahead! ) The third film, Eclipse, brings the love triangle to a boil in a literal three-way scene. "I loved playing with the three characters together," Stewart said. "There's literally a scene where Edward and Jacob, who are mortal enemies, are in a tent with a sleeping Bella in between them. It's a ridiculous circumstance to find yourself in." Lautner

Twilight's Stephenie Meyer Adult Novel "The Host" To Become A Movie It's not like she already doesn't have the adults on her side with her Twilight novel's now she is really going to hook them with her novel " The Host " which is also going to be made into a film. Do you hear that? He bank account getting even Bigger. Producers Nick Wechsler, Steve and Paula Mae Schwartz have used their own money to acquire screen rights to “The Host,” the first adult novel written by Stephenie Meyer , author of the “Twilight” series. Andrew Niccol will write the script and direct. Meyer’s novel is a love story set in the near future on Earth, which has been assimilated by an alien species that call themselves “Souls.” They are benevolent parasites that subsume the conscious of humans and take possession of their bodies. One such soul, The Wanderer (so named because she has wandered among so many different worlds) is fused with a dying human named Melanie Stryder,

Catherine Hardwicke 'Isn't Attached' To Direct '21 Jump Street' I have always been a HUGE fan of the TV show 21 Jump Street since I was a Kid, Shit I still watch the series on DVD every now and then. Will Johnny Depp Be willing to Join the cast? Catherine Hardwicke (Director of Twilight ) taking the reins for "The Girl With the Red Riding Hood," you may have noticed that the Variety article also pins the "Twilight" director to " 21 Jump Street." That project, adapted from the '80s TV series about undercover cops operating as high school students, already has a script from Jonah Hill. No other announcements have been made however, so it is surprising to see such seemingly big news revealed in such an offhand way. As it turns out, there was no reveal. Hardwicke's publicist told MTV that "it's too early" to say anything, and that Hardwicke "isn't attached" to the adaptation. While that certainly leav

She needed an older vampire to help control the newborns. To get him to work with her, Victoria told him that she loved him and convinced him to serve her faithfully. He corralled the other new vampires and told them what their mission was and what they were supposed to do. Riley was also the one who came into Bella's room to get her scent. This was because he was the only mature vampire there besides Victoria. If any
