Twilight's New Moon Bootleggers Get Charges Dropped Charges have been dropped against a 22-year-old Chicago woman accused of videotaping part of "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" at a movie theater. Cook County prosecutors on Friday announced in court that they won't pursue charges against Samantha Tumpach. Tumpach was arrested Nov. 28 in the Chicago suburb of Rosemont and faced a felony charge of illegally copying the film. She had about three minutes of "New Moon" on her digital camera. Tumpach has said she was taping her sister's birthday party and wasn't trying to record the movie. The film's director, Chris Weitz, came to Tumpach's defense . He told the Chicago Sun-Times there's a difference between trying to protect a copyright and prosecuting someone who didn't mean to commit video piracy. Please Leave A Comment- Source- THR

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

Chris Weitz To Direct "The Gardener" Sorry Twilight Fans Chris Weitz, riding high on the mammoth success of New Moon, certainly can't be accused of resting on his laurels. No sooner had the printer ink dried on his record-breaking box-office take for the Twilight sequel than he was sat straight back down again in the deal-making chair at the films' studio, Summit Entertainment, where he was signing on the dotted line for his next project, "The Gardener". And sorry to disappoint you Twi-hards, but there's nary a mopey supernatural teen in sight. This will mark a considerable change of pace from Weitz's last two films (before New Moon, he was put through the ringer on visual effects Oscar-winning The Golden Compass), involving as it does... well, a gardener. A Mexican gardener, to be specific, who according to Variety, lives in Los Angeles and takes measures to protect his son. At this point we don't even know if this is a thriller, drama, comedy o

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

Twilight:New Moon Sets Midnight Showing Records Did you go watch the movie last night and contribute to this record? Summit Entertainment is howling with delight. The Twilight Saga: New Moon has set a new record for opening midnight shows, earning an estimated $26.3 million. The figure passes Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince’s midnight take of $22.2 million this past summer. Screening in 3,514 theaters, the film grossed a per-theater average of $7,476. And if that’s not enough, Summit’s one-night re-issue of Twilight last night earned $1.3 million in 2,057 theaters. It’s a remarkable figure considering the movie screened only at 9 p.m. Thursday night. It’s safe to say the Chris Weitz-directed film is going to be a monster hit this weekend.

In Spain NEW MOON opened Wednesday with $2.2M from 652 screens. The 3rd best Wednesday opening day ever, just behind HARRY POTTER AND THE

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

The Twilight Saga: New Moon Volturi Featurette The Volturi are the equivalent of a royal family to vampires. They operate from the city of Volterra , Italy.

They are considered the de facto royal family of vampires, as they are the largest and most influential coven in existence . The Volturi deal swiftly and decisively with anything they consider a threat to their city, or the vampire world. They destroy anyone who attempts to overthrow them, or resist t

New Twilight New Moon Trailer Here is the new Television spot for the upcoming Twilight New Moon Film. All of you know what a huge fan my wife is of the Twilight saga so I am obligated to give Twilight updates for her. And after much forcing and dealing I did watch the Twilight movie and really enjoyed it and may even go see New Moon in theaters with her. Summary Of The Film- On Isabella "Bella" Swan's 18th birthday, Edward Cullen, the vampire she loves, and his family throw her a birthday party. While unwrapping a gift, she gets a paper cut, which causes Edward's adopted brother, Jasper, to be overwhelmed by her blood's scent and attempt to kill Bella. To protect her, Edward decides to end their relationship, and the Cullens move away from Forks. This leaves Bella heart-broken and depressed. In the months that follow, Bella learns that thrill-seeking activities, such as motorcycle riding, allow her to "hear" Edward's voice in her head. She also seek

Chris Weitz Talks Twilight New Moon The Hollywood Reporter got a hold of Chris Weitz the Man behind the upcoming " Twilight New Moon " film and also The man behind "American Pie", and asked him a few questions. Why did you want to do a "Twilight" movie? The tonality of the movie, which has a lot to do with heartbreak and longing, depression and reunion and ecstasy -- these were emotions that struck a chord in me. I really loved the cast; Kristen (Stewart) and Rob (Pattinson) both are exceptionally talented. And I wanted to get my hand back in the game. There were a lot of things in this movie that I knew how to do: A combination of telling a character-based story but also handling special effects and working with young actors. How much did you interact with Stephenie Meyer? A lot; we've had a real good collaboration. Crucially, she approved me as director, and she didn't have to. We had some discussions that were very important -- my convincing he

Will there Be a Fourth Twilight Film? Do you really think that they haven't already greenlit the fourth movie. Forget about it. Even if the next film doesn't gross anywhere near the first movie. It's still going to come out. Ah if it didn't my wife and sister would be so pissed. A casting agent's press release ignited a firestorm of speculation this morning with its announcement that " The Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn production has been greenlit by Summit Entertainment." Only to be followed by an unnamed Summit representative telling Gossip Cop that, "The film has not been greenlit—and thus no decisions about the film's shooting location, start date, the director, etc. ... have been made." Will Breaking Dawn end up as one film? Or two? Stephenie Meyer has been quoted as saying that a single movie wouldn't be sufficient to carry the plot of her novel. "It would have to be made into multiple movies, because it's hard to imagine
