Twilight Hits #1 for DVD Sales in 2009

tracy@twilightandbeyond.com (Tracy) — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 02:10:00 GMT

The Hollywood Reporter reports:

With sales hitting 5.6 million units at the end of this weekend, Summit Home Entertainment's "Twilight" is now the top-selling home entertainment release of the year, according to Home Media Magazine's market research department.

The film narrowly surpassed the previous top seller, Paramount/DreamWorks' "Madgascar: Escape 2 Africa," which has sold an estimated 5.3 million units since its Feb. 6 release, according to Home Media research.

"Twilight," like the "Madagascar" sequel, wasn't released on the traditional Tuesday street date. Rather, the film arrived on DVD and Blu-ray Disc on Saturday, March 21 ("Madagascar" came out on a Friday).

The release sold 3 million units its first day in stores, Summit says, enough to send it to the top of the weekly Nielsen VideoScan First Alert sales chart even though it was only on sale a single day.

As of the end of the day Friday, Summit Home Entertainment president Steve Nickerson reports, the film had sold 5.4 million copies, with the total shooting to 5.6 million over the weekend.

Just 3% of the film's total unit sales came from Blu-ray Disc, not surprising given the "Twilight's" Blu-ray Disc edition is being sold only at Target Stores and Best Buy until May 5.

BBC News Reports:

British actor Jamie Campbell-Bower has revealed he will play Volturi leader Caius in The Twilight Saga: New Moon.

The 20-year-old, who has appeared in RockNRolla and Sweeney Todd, told the BBC news website that taking part in the vampire series was "very exciting".

"You're the first people I've told" he said. "Shooting has already started, and I'm going over in June."

The film, due for release in November, is the second adaptation from author Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series.

The role of Caius is key to the plot of New Moon. He forms part of the triumvirate leading the Italian based coven of vampires called the Volturi.

The second book in the series see the gang become a threat to lovers Bella and Edward.

Check Out This Nikki Reed Flashback

tracy@twilightandbeyond.com (Tracy) — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 01:44:00 GMT

Celebuzz did a little Nikki Reed flashback:

Twilight bad girl Nikki Reed may have just recently become a big name, but she's been on Hollywood's radar for quite some time now.

Nikki's personal history is far from perfect. Before the age of 14, the actress had reputedly experimented heavily with sex, drugs and booze, resulting in an emancipation from her parents—at a time when most teenagers were just hitting puberty.

The wild-child then decided to pen her own autobiographical novel, based on her racy experiences. Director Catherine Hardwicke got wind of the story and teamed up with the brunette to create the film Thirteen, which also starred Evan Rachel Wood.

Take a look back at the Thirteen Trailer, which was released in 2003...

Who Has the Best Hair? Robert or Taylor?

E! Writes:

You probably knew that New Moon's wows-ville wolfboy Jacob, Taylor Lautner, lops off his locks for the Twilight sequel. Well, catch a first glance at his less-is-more look on the Vancouver set (above). Cue the wolf whistles! He's clearly a cutie.

But the shorn-mellon motif is obviously a trend, what with bat-tastic Rob Pattinson going the same short-and-sweet route recently. Hmmm, he also cleans up quite nicely.

Conundrum! Which of our yummy youngsters gets your blood pumping hotter? Take the poll [here] to let us know who how you feel?

I don't know... based on THAT picture, I'm going with Taylor! LOL!

Summit Picks Up Anti-Twilight Film

tracy@twilightandbeyond.com (Tracy) — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 15:41:00 GMT

Hollywood Reporter reports:

Straight to the penthouse, please.

Summit Entertainment is in the process of scooping up former DreamWorks exec Marc Haimes' original screenplay "Elevator Men." The producer deals are still in flux but would include Mark Gordon Prods. execs Gordon and Josh McLaughlin ("12 Rounds"). Gordon took the script into Summit.

Summit's Erik Feig and Jean Song will oversee for the studio.

The dark thriller, which likely will change titles, takes a less romanticized look at the human-vampire interactions depicted in such recent movies and series as Summit's "Twilight" and HBO's "True Blood."

"It's a reaction to all of these stories now -- TV shows and movies -- that play this kind of romantic, fantastical, sexy aspect of getting involved with monsters," Haimes said. "This is the dark, sinister version of what really happens when you decide you're going to get close to really bad things. That fantasy element is something I wanted to look at and play the exact opposite: the grim reality of bedding down with a monster." The creatures play diabolical mind games with people, including one that involves an elevator, hence the title.

Looks like Summit is trying to have it's cake and eat it, too! LOL!

New Pics From New Moon Set... Sam's House??

tracy@twilightandbeyond.com (Tracy) — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 14:43:00 GMT

These pics are from NewMoonMovie

I have to say, their reporting has generally been spot on. Take a look.

NewMoonMovie writes:

Is this the set for Sam’s house in New Moon? It might just be. Candise and Emily were kind enough to share these pictures, as well as this info about a movie set they’ve noticed in their area they’ve noticed action on recently–

At first we thought it was Jacob’s house until we saw the pictures of the red place. We had given up hope until yesterday when during my daily drive-by, there were a bunch of cops on the road, some girls hiding in nearby bushes with a camera and I spotted Bela’s Truck by the house! Of couse I didn’t have my camera this time, so I didn’t get a picture of it and by the time I sped home and got back they were done.They packed up the set today but I have pictures of the place from two seperate days, one day it was all tented up with a tarp at the front and the other was after we spotted the truck. We are thinking it may be Sam’s place, the wolfpack are in town so that would fit.

Could it be? The crew trucks definitely look similar to ones seen at the set for Jacob’s house. I know another big-profile movie is currently filming in Vancouver as well: The Cabin in the Woods (codename: Mordecai) from Drew Goddard (Cloverfield) and Joss Whedon–but this might be another set for New Moon if Bella’s truck was actually spotted here.

Megan Fox Used Robert Pattinson to Make Boyfriend Jealous

tracy@twilightandbeyond.com (Tracy) — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 05:33:00 GMT

For some reason, this report makes me really mad. Tell me what you think?

Eparsa reports:

Apparently Hollywood hottie Megan Fox was not really in love with British hunk Robert Pattinson. The "Transformers" starlet reportedly used the "Twilight" star to make her fiance Brian Austin Green jealous.

Robert is rumored to have briefly romanced Megan during a break in her relationship with Brian. And the 22-year-old actor was reportedly shocked to learn that the 22-year-old actress had returned to her former fiance.

"Robert was really smitten with Megan. They met up a few times at Palihouse Lounge in Hollywood and he was on Cloud Nine," reports the National Enquirer. But Megan was just using Robert to make Brian jealous, it has been claimed.

It was previously reported that Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green have agreed to take a counseling service in order to seek help for their relationship problems. "In early March, they decided to enter counseling in hopes of staying together," a pal told In Touch. "It was a mutual decision. Lots of couples go to therapy together, and they are committed to try and make it work."

Check out Robert Pattinson's New Movie From Home

tracy@twilightandbeyond.com (Tracy) — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 05:05:00 GMT

MTV Reports:

Robert Pattinson is coming to a television set near you — not as the "Twilight" vampire we've all come to know, but as Art, a struggling singer/songwriter trying to get over a breakup in the indie comedy "How to Be." MTV News exclusively reports that IFC Festival Direct will be showing the film on demand beginning April 29.

The 22-year-old actor not only stars in the film but also performs three original songs on the soundtrack, which will be released on CD and as a digital download through iTunes and other online retailers on April 28.

"How to Be" follows Art as he moves back in with his parents post-breakup and hires a full-time self-help guru to help him work through the pain and become "more normal." The film was written and directed by newcomer Oliver Irving and also stars Rebecca Pidgeon. It premiered at the 2008 Slamdance Film Festival.

The soundtrack is a 23-song collection. In addition to Pattinson's three tracks, the disc includes songs from Love, Captain Beefheart and the Roches. A 12-page booklet featuring song lyrics and never-before-seen "How to Be" photos will be included in both the CD and digital versions. The CD also comes with one of two movies posters.

But perhaps the best news of all for Edward Cullen fans is that 250 people who preorder the CD directly from Dreamboat Records before April 28 will be selected at random to receive a booklet poster personally signed by Pattinson.
