4/2 Movie News of the Week

Please girls if you missed any of last weeks movie news, go read it again. I am adding every other day or so to one post per week.

Here are several little bits from this week so far.

April 5
Billy Burke/Charlie interview with the Lexicon. Interestins. I would love to hear what people think.
And a really good Lexicon interview with Peter
April 3:
Here is another part of an interview from Peter/Carlisle:
It does hav a few good things in it. The best news, from the lips of Peter -
Interviewer asks: "I read somewhere that Bella and Edward fly ABOVE the trees for the meadow scene. Is that true?"
Peter - "No. Edward does not turn into superman. Lol"

April 2:
The Lexicon warns this might be a spoiler. Whatever. What I would really like to know, is why are they in the tops of the trees? Why, oh why, oh why? Here is a link to the article. These are R&K's stunt doubles. http://www.eastvalleynews.com/appeal/article.cfm?i=11300

April 1:
This picture is something for the movie. Some say meadow, but others say it isn't. There are filming in Oxbow park in Oregon. Fog? Who knows. Other shots are here: http://twilightmomsforums.freeforums.org/filming-outdoors-pics-inside-not-the-meadow-3-31-08-t4921.html



Cutest picture of Alice and Jasper that I have seen. So Jackson/Jasper plays guitar. Swoony!



This is a link to an audio of an interview with Peter/Carlisle.
I couldn't get through it. It was to awkward. But if anyone listens let me know it it was worth it.

This is my favorite tid-bit. An interview with the music supervisor for Twilight, (but not about Twilight). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLFIyFXhhHU She is apparently a big name in the industry and talks about how she chooses the music, etc. You know the song "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol? Well obviously this woman didn't know about Twilight when she mistakenly used that song on Gray's Anatomy. It made Snow Patrol famous. That's not how I found the song. I just heard it once on the radio and knew it was written for Bella and Edward. Anyway if Alexandra Patsavas (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0666031/) uses your song on that show, it basically becomes a huge money maker. It gives me great hopes for the Twilight movie music!

I like the foggy tree picture. Very moody - it could be a couple of different places. Like when Bella goes walking in the forest outside her house when she has just learned Edward is a vampire, or perhaps the hike on the way to the meadow. Or when Edward kills the tree by the school parking lot when Mike asks Bella out (JK - that's Midnight Sun, but I would love to see that.)
Anyhow, fun atmosphere!

lioness said...

It is nice isn't it. Very cool.

"So here is a new little info:
A representative of Summit Entertainment has contacted TwilightMOMS with a request to pass on some information regarding the filming to take place at the Viewpoint Inn.

THE VIEWPOINT INN WILL BE A CLOSED SET. NO UNAUTHORIZED PERSONS WILL BE GIVEN ACCESS TO THE SET DURING FILMING AT THIS LOCATION. ANYONE FOUND TRYING TO GAIN UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO THE SET WILL IMMEDIATELY BE ESCORTED OFF THE PROPERTY."

Okay just tortue me some other way. I HAVE to know if this is the prom scene or not. I absolutely have to know. The only hope I still have of finding out is that several extra's have said that they have been picked for the prom scene. Let us only hope it is going to be in the gym of the Portland High School. I don't even care what scene they shoot at that ugly old inn, just please not the prom. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111

lioness said...

Oh look at me commenting to myself again.
So I am realizing that one really good reason to keep people away from this location would be because it is the end of the movie? Maybe? Setting myself up for extreme devastation!

Trish said...

Hmm, that's interesting information. Which part of the end of the movie are you thinking/hoping? It really could be anything, it's not like they're going by the book anyway, this could be something extra for all we know. (Please not the prom scene!)
So I know we've heard about them being in the trees before already, but why?...
Good bits of info and pics MA!
I love that one of Alice, she looks very cute there! And how perfect that Jasper plays the guitar :)
Now BFB, which part of MS are you talking about? Did I miss something? Love that tree pic, looks very Forksy to me.

lioness said...

On the Lexicon, SM talks about Edward and that tree. We couldn't know about it from Bella's perspective. Can you find the link BFB, that would be fun to read again.

lioness said...

A Brief description of being an Extra on the set Tuesday:

TODAY WAS MY FIRST DAY BEING AN EXTRA
I WAS LIKE THREE FEET FROM EDWARD CULLEN MULTIPLE TIMES
EMMETT AND I PLAYED TIC-TAC-TOE
ALICE AND ROSALIE WERE BEYOND BELIEF ADORABLE
AND JASPER WAS SO ANGSTY AND DELICIOUS.
AND SDFJSOIEFSF BEST OF ALL.
STEPHENIE MEYER WAS THERE YOU GUYS.
I HUGGED HER
AND TALKED TO HER FOR A REALLY LONG TIME
AND GOT MY PICTURE WITH HER
AND SHE SIGNED MY COPY OF ECLIPSE.
YOU GUYS I MUST BE IN HEAVEN RIGHT NOW.

(I hope all those jumbled letters aren't naughty. The only online lingo I know comes from the gangsta girl Cullenicious. If these letters are inappropriate, I apologize).

But I thought this was a great summary. There are a few little bits I will share later, but nothing significant.

Trish said...

I've never heard of the tree talk before, besides Edward watching Bella read from one, is that it? That would be very fun to read!
That's different than them being together in trees though, running over the tops of them together or whatever it was that was said.

I love that summary from the extra, very fun to read. It's so great to hear that SM is on the set so frequently, that gives me more hope for things.
I have no idea what those jumbled letters mean either, maybe nothing?
Thanks!

lioness said...

We need Jenn to take a look at those.
I just posted more movie stuff.

I don't know if this whole tree-top mystery thing will ever be resolved before the movie. It's good to be warned don't you think?

jillybean22 said...

Ok, I'm so relieved to hear from Peter that there is no flying in the tree tops. So what I'm thinking is this: maybe they film him kind of coasting along on this cable so that they can capture the effect of him running really fast. Because he could never actually run as fast as Edward. But if they shot from the waist up with the scenery flying by, it would give the illusion that he is running super fast. Then they could do some CGI parts with his feet moving. I don't know, I'm hoping he isn't jumping through the tree tops...

betchafeelbetter said...

I think I had the link saved, but all the Lexicon links have changed now so it is no good.
I will have to go looking for it(while I am listening to conference...don't tell anyone).

Trish said...

That's actually what I was thinking but even more hoping, that they were trying to capture with the whole tree top thing. Just a way to show how fast he can run. Who knows, I should prepare myself for the worst though.

betchafeelbetter said...

Here are Stephenie's exact responses on the Lexicon about the tree being uprooted. (It was in the same thread as the beautiful sleeveless shirt picture).

"The most common vampire reactions to stress or anger is utter stillness. They freeze in place.

Also, they do break things occasionally because they are distracted by the stong emotions and forget to moderate their strength (that takes a little concentration).

Ha ha--there is actually a tree uprooted by an angry/jealous vampire in Midnight Sun."

She later elaborates in response to questions:
"On page 144, when Mike does a better job of asking Bella on a date before school at the picnic tables, that is the moment when Edward (supposedly out with his family "hiking" during the nice weather) accidentally uproots a young tree while waiting to hear Bella's response to Mike's invitation. It's quite easy for him to hear the entire conversation from several hundred yards away in the woods on the other side of the parking lot, not only the spoken words, but also Mike's thoughts."

lioness said...

More stuff today. I'm really behind. But to be accurate I am posting everything I have found important in the last few days.

lioness said...

BFB I have asked this before but I don't know if you remember. There is another statement on the Lexicon from SM where she describes Edward watching Bella read and then fall asleep. He goes out to see what she is reading and it freaks him out when he sees his sparkling skin compared to her.
I cannot find it. Do you have any idea where that is?

Trish said...

That is so cool BFB! I've never heard that or read that before! So when is it that he's asking her on a date again? I can't remember that part in the book. Is it in regards to the beach, I may have to look that up. That really is so fun to read and picture. And I'll say it again, I can't wait for Midnight Sun!!!!!!!
I do remember that part about him watching her read MA, but I don't remember where it was found. Is it not in any of your printed stuff?

lioness said...

Good research, we will have to get on that if noone else can answer this for us.

And since its just me and you (Erin I know you will be here as soon as you can.), well we have work to do then don't we.

lioness said...

This comment is in regards to the Billy Burke interview.

He left me a little worried. Parts of the interview, and his personality I really liked. Other parts, well, they turned me off but had me worried.

He said he can't bring himself to finish even the 1st book. Ahhh!

But he did say something very profound at the end. And since the dumb Lexicon is so stuck up you can't copy and paste any of their interviews, I had to trascribe this quote myself. So you better appreciate the effort, my one fellow blogging partner.

Billy Burke's message to fans:
"I know there are a lot of people who hold extremely high hopes for this movie to be as precise a depiction of the book as possible. I assure them all, everyone here shares in that spirit. I would only suggest to the fans that they open their imaginations to the film as freely as they did when they opened the book. If some things are there that weren't in the book or perhaps "missing", just embrace it and go for the ride, man. Understand that as hard as it may try, a motion picture can only be an adaption. It can never be the book. Enjoy."

Well that was profound, and well said. So overall, I like him, I am sure he will do just fine.

Trish said...

Seriously, ITBS, while you've been typing this I was reading the interview for the first time and trying to copy and paste that last message to the fans because I thought it was so great. We never cease to amaze me with this...gift?

So I enjoyed the interview, he's kind of jerk, not what I was expecting to read. But he's at least just being himself, not pretending to be someone he's not. I could appreciate some of his answers definitely though and that last message to the fans was what did it for me! Thank you Billy, great advice! And I do think he'll do just fine as Charlie, really.

Anyway, yes we do have work to do fellow blogger fan, and I do appreciate the transcript!

lioness said...

Freaky, cook, weird - NEVER!
Mabye we were Identical Twilight Conjoined Brain Twins and our parents never told us?
(Jenn did you know about this and kept it from Trisha all this years?)
Love you like a crazy! (that is from Big Comfy Couch by the way.)

Please don't tell anyone how late I was up. Its been a while but I miss being up to the minute on my blog so much. This has been a very nice evening.

Trish said...

So are you saying I'm a freaky, weird cook? Rude.

Jenn did you know about this?

Of all the times I've watched Big Comfy Couch, I've never caught that one.

I won't tell anyone how late if you don't. It has been nice though!

lioness said...

Holy flip! I can't stand it! I just can't stand it. The one time I don't preview! Sigh.

Ummm. . . where were all the "you are the funniest person alive" comments. Did you not read the part about "Identical Twilight Brain Conjoined Twins"? Or are you just trying not to point out who got most of the brain?

And I'll bet Jenn never sees this. So sad. Big sis. would have so much to shed on our hazy past.

Now go to bed Cooky!

Trish said...

You are the funniest person alive, even with a smaller half of a brain.
No really, so witty! And I'm going to force Jenn to go to this post and read how funny we are and what she is missing out on!

Really, I'm going to bed, I know I've been saying that for at least an hour now. Is our brain telling you the same thing?

lioness said...

little brain says:
"Z. . .Z . . .Z. . .Z . . ZZZZ . . . . .

betchafeelbetter said...

As far as Edward & sparkling next to Bella - I checked through Stephenie's comments on the Lexicon and I don't see it in those. Perhaps it is in the personal correspondence? I will look later after I do some "responsible" things. (sigh)

lioness said...

I swear it is not in the personal correspondance. But if you find it, it will be a great relief. It has stumped me for months and I know I didn't just dream it.

Trish said...

Freaky, weird cook here.
No you didn't just dream it, I remember you and I discussing it one time. I think we were together, it's on the Lex somewhere I swear, maybe in a very random thread. I do remember it though, and it was just a few months ago I swear.
Oh, and I found in TW where Mike does ask Bella out on a date again, of course! So I read it and then pictured Edward in the distance uprooting a tree limb...super sexy.

betchafeelbetter said...

I've read it somewhere too, so it isn't even just you and your disjointed twin sharing thoughts/conversations :)

I'll keep looking.

lioness said...

You get a prize if you find it fellow cooky!

Jenn said...

I must be a vampire now, since I know what you're saying about me when I'm not around..........
