The 'Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn' Countdown: Who Has Breakout Star Potential

2011-06-25T01:49:00.000-07:00

Laura Byrne-Cristiano is a co-owner of The Twilight Lexicon, the longest continuously operating Twilight Saga fansite on the web. You can read her Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn column here on Movies.com every other Thursday. Every time I turn around it seems like some film is being promoted as “The Next Twilight”. Now personally I don’t think anything is “The Next Twilight” anymore than I thought Twilight was “The Next Harry Potter”. I always want to ask those folks, “A wizard coming-of-age tale and a vampire romance are the same how exactly?” On the other hand, giving these well-intentioned people the benefit of the doubt, they are probably talking about the next big breakout hit. In any case this whole...

Taylor Lautner interview on Twilight Eclipse

2010-06-18T20:52:00.000-07:00

Taylor Lautner is fast becoming a go-to young Hollywood actor for demanding action roles. He's about to start filming "Abduction," a Jason Bourne-style thriller, and has lined up two action-heavy flicks — "Stretch Armstrong" and "Cancun" — further down the line. Plus he signed up for, then parted ways with, "Max Steel," a superhero movie in which he would have played a kid imbued with the power of nanobots.

The 18-year-old, in short, digs action. It's no surprise, then, that when it comes to picking his favorite film in the "Twilight" series, he's going with the upcoming "Eclipse" — the one that ratchets up the action in a way Twilighters have not yet seen.

"It was my favorite book, so I was always looking forward to the day that I got to film it," Lautner told MTV News of "Eclipse," due in theaters June 30. "The final product turned out even better than I expected."

Credit goes to director David Slade, the man behind the horror flick "30 Days of Night" and someone with both a distinct visual style and a talent for capturing run-and-gun action sequences.

"It's my favorite, because it's the most guy-friendly by far," Lautner explained of "Eclipse." "It's dangerous. There's a lot of action. The romance is still there, but the action level is stepped up way more. It's great."

Less than great, however, is watching himself up on the big screen without a shirt on. Because "shirtless" is pretty much Lautner's default state during the film. Fans might love those scenes, but the actor says they're both uncomfortable to shoot and to watch.

"It is a little awkward for me to watch myself and, actually, when we're filming those scenes," he said.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is still on course to hit movie screens in June, despite reports its release had been pushed back.

Various US media outlets had speculated as to why no trailer had emerged for the third film in the vampire saga.

CNN also incorrectly reported in its preview of forthcoming movie releases that Eclipse would arrive in July.

However, sources at film studio Summit Entertainment have told Gossip Cop that the movie is still set for release on June 30.

Directed by David Slade, Eclipse follows the ever-complicated love triangle between Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner).

Sorry Twi-hards — despite talk that the third instalment of the Twilight Saga: Eclipse had been shown to test audiences, sources close to the production say it is not true.

According to Gossip Cop, the “testimonials” and other reports circulating on the Web this weekend are false.

In fact, no Eclipse screenings have taken place and the rumours about the movie’s trailer are also incorrect.

A source connected to the production says talk of a screening is “absolutely not true.”

Peter Facinelli's 'Breaking Dawn' Wishlist: Two Films, Chris Weitz And An 'Interesting' Birth Scene

2009-12-27T23:14:00.000-08:00

Somehow it seems unsurprising that Peter Facinelli, who got a total reboot of his career with "The Twilight Saga," would like "Breaking Dawn" to make it to the big screen. When MTV News spoke to Peter at Z100's Jingle Ball Friday, he shared a full wish-list of things he would like in regards to the fourth (and, according to him, fifth) installments of the series.

First and foremost, Pete would like to see this novel split into two films. "I would love to have them break it into two parts because it's such a thick book," he said. "I think that'd be fantastic to split into two, 'cause there's so much information. Whatever happens, I'm sure it will be good."

While we have already detailed why we don't think two movies would be such a good idea for the fluff-filled novel, we do agree with Peter's director choice (as does Kristen Stewart). "I'd love to see Chris Weitz back," he said.

He added as to whether there's actually a chance Chris would agree, "I don't know. I mean, I know he actually has another film he's doing right now, so your guess is as good as mine. I'm sure they'll get somebody very capable. I mean, we've had some pretty fantastic directors so far."

Two films and Chris as director complete a "Breaking Dawn" checklist most fans would agree with, and the scene Peter most looks forwards to shooting is another fan favorite. "You know, there's this scene where Bella has the baby," Peter said, jokingly adding, "Like any other doctor, I'm not there at the time. I think I'm on the ninth playing a round of golf, but it's an interesting scene. I'd like to see how that's shot."

Unfortunately, this is only speculation and wishful thinking thus far, as Peter said he hasn't heard any "Breaking Dawn" news from Summit. "Usually the fans know before me. I've been combing the Web sites to see if we're doing a fourth movie," Peter said. "I haven't heard or seen [a script yet]. I think everybody's just kind of still on the 'New Moon' high."

Do you agree with Peter's wishlist?

Eclipse to Be Released in IMAX!!

2009-12-14T20:19:00.000-08:00

Summit Entertainment announced via the official Twilight twitter that Eclipse will be appearing on IMAX screens along with normal theater screenings on June 30, 2010. YES!!!

Collider has the official press release:

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 Entertainment’s President of Domestic Theatrical Distribution. “The IMAX release puts us on the event film calendar for 2010, and we’re very excited to work with IMAX to bring a new kind of film to the IMAX theatre network.”

“Our 2010 film slate continues to fill out with strong titles, and a film from this incredible franchise is a very welcome addition,” said IMAX CEO Richard L. Gelfond. “This title fills a valuable spot in our 2010 summer release window, and will no doubt thrill IMAX audiences.”

“We’re very excited to work with our new partners at Summit Entertainment to transport the very loyal and enthusiastic Twilight fans into the world of the Volturi via The IMAX Experience,” added Greg Foster, Chairman and President of IMAX Filmed Entertainment. “With our growing theatre network, we’re poised to take advantage of the rapidly growing fan-base devoted to this dynamic, cutting edge series.”

5 Facts About The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

2009-12-10T11:53:00.000-08:00

It's just seven months until Eclipse, the third instalment of Stephenie Meyer's popular book series, hits the big screen. RT caught up with the cast in LA's Four Seasons hotel during their manic New Moon press tour to get the latest on the eagerly anticipated film. We learned that Robert Pattinson hates pranks, that Nikki Reed loves werewolves and that we may just see a fifth film.

Fact #1: It's Darker

The brand new poster for Eclipse (above) hints at a darker tone with its brooding storm clouds. With 30 Days of Night director David Slade at the helm, it's unsurprising. "Every movie is different because we work with a different director on each one, which I love," Taylor Lautner tells RT. "David Slade is perfect for the third film because it's darker. Eclipse was my favourite book."

Ashley Greene, who plays vampire Alice, tells RT that Slade isn't just a prince of darkness. "David is actually hysterical," she laughs, "He has such a dry sense of humour that sometimes you don't know if he's kidding or not. Eclipse will be amazing because he has made it far edgier and more dramatic. It's going to look very cool."

Fact #2: There Will Be Less "Love Story" and More "War"

"Eclipse isn't as intimate as Twilight or New Moon," Robert Pattinson explains to us. "We're at war, so I get to interact with more characters, not just Kristen. You'll also find out more about the other members of the Cullen family. It just feels bigger." But -- fear not, Twihards -- that isn't to say the love story is cast aside altogether. "New Moon set up a love triangle with Bella, Edward and Jacob," says Lautner. "So we explore that further in Eclipse. It's a tough situation for all of them because Bella is torn between two guys, Jacob can't get the girl that he loves and then there's Edward, with all of his issues."

Fact #3: The Werewolves Will Crank Up the Sex Appeal

"We all know the appeal of the vampire family," says Nikki Reed, who plays vampire Rosalie. "But the werewolf boys are on a whole different level. They interact with a youthful, playful, comfortable warmth. It's very sexy."

As for Pattinson, he admits that his personal jealousy about Taylor Lautner's newly-ripped physique actually comes in handy for the role. "In Eclipse, Taylor and I have lots of scenes together where we have to be jealous and petty with each other," he says. "So it helps that I actually do feel inadequate when I see his body, especially because he's younger than me. He fulfills every criteria of what teenage girls want, physically, in a guy. I felt like a had to prove myself against him."

Fact #4: There's More Action

"Filming Eclipse actually changed my life," says Nikki Reed of the arduous training regime the cast had to endure. "I have never been so fit -- this is the first time in my life I have actually had a bicep. It's bizarre to compare how we look now to how we all looked in the first movie. The entire cast turned up on set for Eclipse looking super-buff."

New cast member Bryce Dallas Howard tried to play a prank on the crew during one stunt, but she didn't count on Pattinson's awkwardness. "We had a fight scene where Bryce had to grab my hair," he laughs. "So she took a clump of hair from my stunt double's wig and was going to pretend she had pulled it from my head. She told me to scream and storm off set, but it was so embarrassing. She had this huge clump of hair in her hand, and I was like 'oww,' really unconvincingly."

While the rest of the cast were having fun with stunts, spare a thought for poor Taylor Lautner. "Eclipse is a lot more physical for my character," he explains, "but any time I have any kind of action, I'm a wolf, so it's all done with CGI. It's a bummer."

Fact #5: The Ending Will Be Nicely Set Up For a Fourth - And Perhaps Fifth - Film

There are four books in The Twilight Saga: Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. But Ashley Greene gave RT the strongest indication yet that there might be five films. "We have finished filming Eclipse and one would assume that, if New Moon does as well as Twilight, then we'll start filming Breaking Dawn next year," she says.

"The only thing is, Breaking Dawn is a very large book so it would be a really long movie. We're thinking they might decide to split it into two parts, like they did with Harry Potter. Either way, we need to get on with shooting them because, unlike Harry Potter, vampires don't age. So we all need to look the same!"

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is released worldwide in the summer of 2010.

Pattinson set for massive share in £300m Twilight bonanza

2009-12-08T23:37:00.000-08:00

London Robert Pattinson may end up with a multi-million pound share of earnings from the latest project in the hit Twilight series.

The 22-year-old, who plays vampire Edward Cullen, was said to be set for a double treat from the series based on books by Stephanie Meyer.

Bosses at Summit Entertainment were allegedly mulling splitting the final novel, Breaking Dawn, into two parts after the latest film, New Moon, raked in the nearly 300 million pounds in just two weeks of its opening.

“It’s an extraordinary cash cow and the company wants to keep it going for as long as possible. They’re giving very serious consideration to the idea,” the Daily Express quoted a source as saying.

The source added: “A lot of cheque-waving and glad-handing would have to happen if the plan goes ahead. No one is locked into a fifth movie so the key talent could be looking at multi- million pound pay days.”

Terence Doyle, editor of British Film Magazine, also said: “Pattinson is central to the franchise and could basically name his price. Right now he’s the biggest star of his generation.”

What The 'Twilight' Stars Want for 'Breaking Dawn'

2009-12-01T22:40:00.000-08:00

With the box-office success of "New Moon" and fans eagerly anticipating the June release of "Eclipse," it looks almost certain that "Breaking Dawn," the final book in the "Twilight Saga," will hit the big screen. But there are two big questions surrounding the potential film: Who will direct it, and will it be split into two movies?

MTV News spoke with the "Twilight" stars last week at a New York screening of "New Moon" and asked them to weigh in on the saga's future.

"If I had a wish list, Gus van Sant would be pretty cool," Peter Facinelli said, mirroring Robert Pattinson's director pick. "I just think he'd be an interesting choice for it. I mean, 'Milk' was phenomenal. I would just love to see 'Breaking Dawn' done, because I'd like to finish the whole chapter."

Ashley Greene said she wouldn't turn down the chance to split up "Breaking Dawn," if that's what the studio decides. "I think we all love being a part of this," she said. "And if making this into two films means we capture the essence of the fourth book better, then absolutely."

Nikki Reed agreed with Greene, noting that she just wants to see it get the green light before any other decisions are made. "It doesn't matter to me ... if they think that's what's best for the book, and if they don't think they can make it in one, then great," Reed said. "But I don't even know if they're making it."

So far, a new filmmaker has been at the helm of each "Twilight" movie, but that doesn't mean "New Moon" director Chris Weitz is against coming back if it works for him. "A lot depends on whether the fans and the studio and all of that, whether people would still like me to do it," he said. "And how my family feels about it."

Kellan Lutz wouldn't mind seeing Weitz back in the director's chair. "Out of the three, I'd love to see Chris Weitz come back," he said. "I just had so much fun shooting with him. I mean, obviously, I would just love to do ['Breaking Dawn']. There's no word. ... Hopefully we get that phone call, and if they want to make it into five movies, I just don't want it to end. I love my character so much."

The cast of Twilight Saga: Eclipse

2009-11-18T00:59:00.000-08:00

The official word thatThe Twilight Saga: Eclipse had finished shooting came at 4:49 AM on October 29. David Slade posted the news via his Twitter account with this note: "Physically and emotionally exhausted."

No wonder. As with New Moon, the cast list for this Twilight sequel grew, adding more werewolves and vampires to Bella's ever-widening circle of friends and enemies. A guide to these new cast members follows.

BooBoo Stewart as Seth Clearwater

In Eclipse: As the younger brother of Leah and the son of Harry, Seth was always next in line for life as a werewolf. He fights alongside Edward and Jacob, and can pack a mean punch (or bite) when he needs to.
Verdict: He already has the happy Seth grin and russet-colored skin. We hope he has the acting credentials — oh, and fingers crossed, that he can howl.

Julia Jones as Leah Clearwater

In Eclipse: Shock, horror: Leah's a werewolf, too. The only female wolf in the saga, if you want to get technical. She used to date pack leader Sam, and still hasn't gotten over his relationship with Emily.
Verdict: She looks the part physically and should compliment BooBoo Stewart well. Let's just hope they have good on-screen chemistry, or their brother-sister relationship could end up being more unbelievable than they'd like.

Catalina Sandino Moreno as Maria

In Eclipse: Maria, the leader of an all-female fanged trio during the Southern Vampire Wars, is responsible for Jasper's vampirism. Her whereabouts are still unknown, and the Cullens haven't heard from her since Calgary. Nice lady, eh?
Verdict: After seeing her in Che, we think she'll be up to the vampire challenge. As long as she remembers Maria's "musical voice," she'll be fine.

Kirsten Prout as Lucy

In Eclipse: Lucy was part of a trio of vampires during the Southern Vampire Wars. Together with Maria and Nettie, she put together a vampire army before eventually being killed by our very own Jasper Hale.
Verdict: Lucy is described as being "pale, tall, and blonde" — three boxes that Prout can easily tick. She has acting experience and a pretty hefty resume on her side, so her small part in Eclipse should be no problem.

Bryce Dallas Howard as Victoria

In Eclipse: Victoria, queen of the vampire newborns, makes herself a brand new army. Hell-bent on killing Bella and avenging James' death, she ends up causing a war between the Cullens (who team with the wolves) and her newborns. Guess who wins?
Verdict: While the role of Victoria isn't new, Howard is. She has the extremely difficult task of filling Rachelle Lefevre's shoes — a casting change that shocked the Twilight world. Fans are loyal to Lefevre, and we're not sure what they'll make of Howard. Guess we'll all know their verdict next summer.

Tegan And Sara Talk 'Twilight,' Gun For Spot On 'Eclipse' Soundtrack

2009-11-09T21:10:00.000-08:00

By their own admission, Tegan and Sara are addicted to heartbreak, so when it came time to write songs for their just-released Sainthood album, they didn't stray far from what they know — cheery topics like eternal damnation, obsession and earth-shattering loss.

Of course, they also took inspiration from one other source: Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" series.

"I read all the 'Twilight' books while we were recording Sainthood, and [producer/ Death Cab for Cutie guitarist] Chris [Walla] and I were talking about it a lot, because after we finished our record, he was going to record with Death Cab to do their song for the 'New Moon' soundtrack," Tegan Quinn told MTV News last week. "So me and him would geek out with each other and talk about it, and he'd actually be doing a job — he'd be producing our record — and I'd be on the couch [paging through], and he'd be like, 'You're on the third book already?' We nerded out with one another."

The "Twilight" series doesn't actually stray all that far from the topics Tegan and her twin sister Sara have been singing about for more than a decade now. The books are, at their very core, about love and loss (a point Death Cab made when we spoke to them about "Meet Me on the Equinox," the first single from the "New Moon" soundtrack), which sort of makes Tegan and Sara an intriguing fit for the soundtrack to "Eclipse," the next "Twilight" film.

So, if they were asked, would T&S be able to channel their inner Death Cab and contribute a vampiric love song?

"We would not say no," Sara laughed.

"We've basically become 'Death Cab for Tegan and Sara' [anyway], since Chris has produced our last two albums," Tegan joked. "It's like that movie 'District 9,' where the guy turns, like, half prawn. We're kind of like half Death Cab for Cutie. If I pulled up my pant leg right now, you'd see, like, Ben Gibbard's leg."

Exclusive: Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart Spent Night at Chateau MarmontExclusive: Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart Spent Night at Chateau Marmont

2009-11-03T20:30:00.000-08:00

Friends with benefits?

Days after Vanity Fair released an interview with Robert Pattinson in which he declared he was just "friends" with Kristen Stewart, the two spent the night together at Hollywood's famed Chateau Marmont on Oct. 29, Usmagazine.com has learned.

The next morning, a source tells Us they shared breakfast together from Noah's Bagels (a plain bagel with walnut cream cheese for him; a blueberry with butter for her).

Robert Pattinson talks about his role in Breaking Dawn

2009-10-30T02:34:00.000-07:00

Robert Pattinson talks about his role in Breaking Dawn in his interview released by The New Zealand Herald today.

Here's the excerpt:

"I had three days off between Remember Me and Eclipse and then I’ve had to start learning Comanche and bareback riding for Unbound Captives. I don’t only want to do the same part. I’m doing Bel Ami, based on the Guy de Maupassant novel in January as well, and I don’t really know how I’m going to fit that in. I have to gain weight – but I don’t think they’ll let me put on much as I have to shoot the final Twilight movie afterwards. I have to look older, as the character Georges Duroy has been living hard for a good six years just getting drunk all the time. So I want to look a bit haggard,"

This revelation made me more excited about the Breaking Dawn Twilight Series. I'm sure all of us wants know more, so just stay tuned for more updates.

New Moon: Exclusive Behind-the-Scenes Secrets!

2009-10-29T01:39:00.000-07:00

Here are some exclusive photo's while InStyle talks to the New Moon Design Team.

The Star-Crossed Lovers' Style

EDWARD'S AMAZING HAIR: "They were a great group to work with, and they all had pretty good hair—but I have to say, Robert's was probably the best," says New Moon hairstylist Thom McIntyre. "I trimmed his hair probably every week to ten days, just to keep the cut really fresh and chopped into. When we were shooting, I restyled it once or twice a day—the look is meant to be very tousled, and I wanted to be sure it didn't lay flat."

BELLA'S RING: Our heroine's moonstone ring "is a carryover from the first film," says wardrobe stylist Tish Monaghan. "The props department had it copied—there were three of them."

STYLISH SHEETS: Bella's comforter set is from Target's Modern Home collection. While the exact pattern is sold out—though one enterprising eBay auctioneer has it up for bids—a similar style is available at Target stores.

The Look of the Volturi

CONTACTS: Special effects designer Cristina Patterson Ceret hand-painted each set of the contact lenses worn by the Volturi. She has also created ocular illusions for films like Memoirs of a Geisha, Superman Returns and the upcoming Alice in Wonderland.

NOT-SO-BASIC-BLACK FASHION: "I carefully color graded the shades of black on the characters in the chamber to show the ascent of power, with Jane [Dakota Fanning] and the other leaders being the darkest shade of all," says Monaghan. "Jane wears a custom cloak that is sweetness and sinister combined."

Jacob's Transformation

TINY TEES: "Jacob [Taylor Lautner] was supposed to have grown taller and really filled out, so we tailored all of the T-shirts he wore to make it seem like he was busting out of them," says Monaghan. For added effect, Lautner wore lifts in his shoes to exaggerate the height difference between Jacob and Bella.

2. TRAINING REGIMEN: "I hit the gym, got myself a personal trainer and started eating a lot," Lautner told us about becoming the bigger, buffer Jacob. "I had to be eating a minimum of 4,000 calories a day, so my trainer was always bringing me snacks." He also did strength-training exercises in his downtime on set.

Bella's Must-Haves

FASHION: Monaghan kept Bella [Kristen Stewart] in "practical" pieces from Band of Outsiders, J Brand and tons of sneakers from Nike, Keds and Converse, a brand that Stewart often wears in real life.

BEAUTY: McIntyre maintained Stewart's rich brown hair color with Kerastase Bain Miroir Shampoo and Conditioner for Color-Treated Hair. "She goes through different stages in the movie—a breakup, her depression and then new motivation in her life," says McIntyre. "I used Kerastase Nutri-Sculpt Mousse when she was more carefree because it worked with the natural waves in her hair and gave it movement."

Ashley Greene's Favorite 'New Moon' Scene

2009-10-29T00:11:00.000-07:00

The tabloid covers may be dominated by Rob and Kristen, but in the hearts and minds of "Twilight" fans, there is no cover girl as dazzling as so-sweet-she'll-give-you-a-cavity series star Ashley Greene.

With "New Moon" less than a month away (hooray!), and Alice Cullen's screen time substantially increased, we caught up with the actress and occasional MTV News correspondent to get her latest thoughts on stealing expensive cars, playing board games with Kellan Lutz, and the "New Moon" cast's shared love of ... kittens?

MTV: What was your favorite "New Moon" scene to shoot?

Ashley Greene: Of course, the Porsche was incredible, the whole experience of filming [that scene]. Working with Michael Sheen, it was just really funny how he created this whole atmosphere out of the scene and could switch it up. Everything that he did was a little bit inspired, and so the whole Volturi scene with him was really fun to do. [I also love] the whole Cullen scene, when Bella gets a paper cut and Jasper goes crazy — you haven't seen that side of him yet. The performances are great, and the whole dynamic is really great. That was one of my favorite scenes to watch.

MTV: You guys have become such good friends and have so much downtime between takes. What sort of things do you talk about when the cameras aren't rolling?

Greene: Between takes? Gosh, everything. YouTube was a big topic of conversation; we were sharing YouTube videos. Which was kinda funny, because [we'd be filming a] really intense situation, and then they would yell, "Cut!" and we would have 20 minutes and we'd break out "Kittens Inspired by Kittens." It's this little girl reading a kittens book. [Laughs.]

MTV: So Alice and Bella would be giggling between all that drama?

Greene: Yeah, there was a lot of that, just a lot of giggling and laughing. During "New Moon," especially in Italy, me and Kristen were, like, the only girls. So there was a lot of girly giggling going on.

MTV: Do you feel more like Alice now than when you did "Twilight"?

Greene: I feel like I was like the character a little bit anyways. I was really excited to play Alice in the beginning because she is a really positive, bright light — and a very moral vampire. I was saying in the beginning that I felt that I was [as well], and that was relatable. At least, I try to act [positively]; I don't know if we can all the time. [Also] she's really close with her family obviously, and that was there from the get-go, so I felt like the only other thing I could do to get closer would be to become a vampire or see the future. [Laughs.] [But] fashion-wise, yes. Fashion-wise, I have become a lot more like Alice Cullen, because she is probably the most fashionable out of the Cullen clan, and I've recently become obsessed with fashion.

MTV: There's so much "Twilight" merchandise out there. Do you own any?

Greene: I have a couple shirts. I have a couple things from "Twilight" that I want to keep as memorabilia, and so I have a couple shirts. I definitely have the necklace. While filming, Kellan bought the "Twilight" game, and we played. We made Xavier [Samuel] play it, the poor new kid. We were like, "The new kid will play!" and so we had Xavier come over and Peter Facinelli came over. Me and him and those two guys and Kellan played the "Twilight" game. And I won. I'm just saying. No big deal.

MTV: What is the secret to the success of the "Twilight" film franchise?

Greene: If I told you, I'd have to kill you. [Laughs.]

Take a look at the extended scene of 'The Twilight Saga's New Moon' wherein Robert Pattinson's Edward and Kristen Stewart's Bella share a kiss, and at the making of the shape-shifting wolf pack.

Kirsten Prout as Lucy in 'Eclipse'

2009-10-25T18:59:00.000-07:00

Another casting news has come in for "The Twilight Saga's Eclipse" as the name of Kirsten Prout emerges. The representative for Prout has confirmed through E! Online that the 19-year-old actress has indeed been tapped to take on the part of vampire Lucy in the third "Twilight Saga" movie.

As Lucy, Prout will play a prominent part of Jasper's backstory. She is expected to share screen with the previously announced "Eclipse" cast member Catalina Sandino Moreno who stars as Maria since their characters build a vampire army together.

Canadian-born actress Kirsten Prout is best known for her role as girl-next-door Amanda Bloom on ABC Family's "Kyle XY". She has also starred alongside Jennifer Garner in 2005's "Elektra", playing Garner's protege named Abigail "Abby" Miller.

"The Twilight Saga's Eclipse" is an adaptation of the third novel from Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" series. Knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf, Bella Swan once again finds herself surrounded by danger while she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob in this movie.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart return as Edward and Bella. Bryce Dallas Howard takes over Victoria from Rachelle Lefevre, and Xavier Samuel is picked up to portray Riley. This follow-up to "The Twilight Saga's New Moon" is scheduled for a U.S. release on June 30, 2010.

Pattinson says I have a "natural chemistry" with Stewart

2009-10-25T18:26:00.000-07:00

He may not admit that he is dating Kristen Stewart, but Twilight star Robert Pattinson has said that he has a "natural chemistry" with his co-star. The 23-year-old actor, who is rumoured to be dating his co-star Stewart, says filming passionate scenes with her is easy, Ok! magazine reported online.

"There's a natural chemistry going on with Kristen," said Pattinson. The British actor was worried that the chemistry would disappear in the film's sequel, New Moon, but things went smoothly.

"Even doing this sequel, it's so easy. I was really worried that I wouldn't know how to do it again, but it's so easy to play off her," he added.

Pattinson is planning to return to his home country once the shooting for the third sequel Eclipse is done.

Director David Slade is filming the final few scenes for the film, due out next year, and will be sending the actors home this weekend.

Kristen Stewart Says Playing Bella Swan Is 'Addictive'

2009-10-19T20:56:00.000-07:00

'You're so in her shoes that it's a vicarious experience,' Kristen Stewart tells Allure of her 'Twilight' character.

These days, Kristen Stewart is very closely associated with her role of Bella Swan in the "Twilight" series. And at times she seems conflicted about the fame that comes with the role, but one thing she definitely doesn't seem conflicted about is her love for the character.

"You're so very much with Bella. You're so in her shoes that it's a vicarious experience. It's addictive," she said in an interview for the November issue of Allure magazine, on newsstands October 20.

In the issue, the 19-year-old actress also talks about how hard it is for her to open up in interviews. She thinks that people are constantly judging what she says and how she says it. "I spend so much of my time guarding against sounding insincere about something that I would die for," she said. "Maybe I'm overcompensating ... I care so much. And it gets reported as the opposite. And even seeing this [interview], they'll be like, 'Oh, she's trying to let us know ... ' "

Stewart, who is currently filming "Eclipse" in Canada, added that she refuses to bow down to Hollywood norms of what a starlet should look and act like. "I go outside and I'm wearing a funky T-shirt and my hair is dirty and people say, 'What's wrong with her? She needs to invest in a hairbrush,' " she said.

She added that she was never "that girl," so she's not sure why everyone wants her to be. "I'm like, 'Don't you get it? I'm not that girl!' Like, I never was that girl. It's not like I was really clean-cut last year," she said. "I don't exercise. I'm skinny fat. I worry about being too skinny."

'New Moon' Secrets Stolen

2009-05-19T00:40:00.000-07:00

While these posters can join the Taylor Lautner shirtless promo in the fan made castoff bin, I have to say, these Twilighters certainly know their way around Photoshop. Must've come from all those hours superimposing their heads on Kristen Stewart's body.

But what isn't fake is the report that a totally legit "New Moon" script was recently discovered by a fan in the trash outside a Missouri set. Casey Ray was the lucky lady who got her hands on what could have been the most valuable item ever put up for auction on eBay!

Sadly, her moral compass eventually pointed her toward a righteous path and she returned the script! "We thank Ms. Ray for doing the right thing," Summit Entertainment said after the young lady disclosed her discovery.

Now, I like to view myself as an ethical dude -- who doesn't -- but I can't say with any sort of certainty that I'd have done the same thing if a script with the words "New Moon" scrawled across the front came into my possession.

Then again, I don't spend my afternoons dumpster diving, although now that it's become clear the cast is just chucking their scripts into any old trashcan, I definitely might start!

Full Official New Moon cast announced

2009-04-17T01:49:00.000-07:00

But there are a couple of fresh names on the list – Birth’s Cameron Bright is on board to play Alec, Fanning’s vampire brother, while Grahame Greene is appearing as Harry Clearwater, a Native American mate o Bella’s dad.

Oh, and before fans panic because he’s not on the list, Billy Burke is indeed returning to play Charlie Swan.

Ready for the list? Here we go…

Italian vampire clan the Volturi include Charlie Bewley as Demetri, Jamie Campbell Bower as Caius, Daniel Cudmore as Felix, Christopher Heyerdahl as Marcus, all Volturi enforcers.

Dakota Fanning plays Jane, a high-ranking and powerful Volturi member, and Cameron Bright is Alec, her brother. Noot Seear plays Volturi member Heidi. Michael Sheen plays Aro, the Volturi leader.

Graham Greene appears as Harry Clearwater, Quileute tribal leader and old friend of Bella's father Charlie. Tinsel Korey is Emily, the fiancée of Sam Uley."

Plus, the old gang is back: rejoining the movie are Ashley Greene as Alice, Peter Facinelli as Carlisle, Elizabeth Reaser as Esme, Kellan Lutz as Emmett, Nikki Reed as Rosalie, Jackson Rathbone as Jasper, Edi Gathegi as Laurent and Rachelle Lafevre as Victoria.

Finally, we have the storyline… Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) is devastated by the abrupt departure of her vampire love Edward (Robert Pattinson). But her spirit is rekindled by her growing friendship with the irresistible Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner). Suddenly, she finds herself drawn into the world of the werewolves, ancestral enemies of the vampires, and she finds her loyalties tested.

Happy now? You may now return to your regular scheduled anticipation of the movie.
