Robert Pattinson: "A-5....You Sunk My Battleship!!"

2009-05-18T20:35:00.004-07:00

There are a ton of film titles being tossed around as Rob's next project. Amanda Bell over at the Examiner discusses the latest talks that when Rob was meeting with Peter Berg he was actually discussing a film version of the board game "Battleship" rather than Dune.

One speculator of the Perez Hilton-inspired conversations about The Twilight Saga: New Moon star Robert Pattinson and his meet-up with Peter Berg has raised an interesting observation.

Says Peter Sciretta at Slash Film,

Peter Berg is in talks to direct a big screen adaptation of Hasbro’s board game Battleship for Universal Pictures. Brother screenwriting team Jon and Eric Hoeber have signed on to write the script, which is said to be “an epic naval action adventure” loosely inspired by the game. Universal seems to have a multi-picture development deal with Hasbro/Milton Bradley.

Twilight star Robert Pattinson, while on break from shooting New Moon, was spotted last week leaving Berg’s Los Angeles home. At the time, many speculated that Pattinson might be in talks to join Berg’s planned remake of Dune, but Berg has so many projects in the development pipeline that it would be impossible to narrow it down to one of them. And it would be too speculative for me to say that Battleship is probably the film.

Oh, how the flood of childhood memories are hitting me!

Fan Experience At EyeCon Amazing

2009-05-17T07:43:00.007-07:00

Just Jared Jr. reader Brianne sent pictures and wrote to them about her experience with Kellan, Peter, and Jackson at EyeCon.

Brianne writes to us about her experience, saying, "I live in Florida and these past three days (Friday, Saturday and Sunday), me and my dad went to the Twilight EyeCon at the Florida Hotel. Anyway, the guests there were Edi Gathegi, Peter, Jackson, and Kellan. I got autographs and pictures with Peter, Jackson, and Kellan. They were the sweetest guys. They all did these awesome Q&A sessions."

She continued, "At Jackson's, I never realized how deep his voice was. I asked him if he had to choose one, which would he choose: a full time career in music or a full time career in acting? In a nutshell, he said he loves all forms of art, and he would find a way to do both at the same time. He said he always plays his guitar in between takes and such. Also, he also started to blush a little bit and get a little awkward when a fan asked him if he was stuck on a desert island with a cast mate, which would he choose, and he said Ashley (Greene) and no more."

"At Kellan's Q&A, he was such a sweetheart and he even let this little boy come onto the stage with him. Jackson's band, 100 monkeys, played and the band The Nova Echo opened for them. They rocked the house! I got to give all of them hugs, and I gotta say, Kellan's muscles are huge! Anyway, I'll attach some pics, and the picture with all of them holding up sketches are my dad's portraits of them. He is a professional artist and we gave them each a copy of them. Kellan loved his and didn"t want to put it down!"

Check out the rest of her amazing pics here.

It looks like she had an awesome time at EyeCon! I wish I had been there too! Oh well, maybe next time. Thanks Brianne for sharing your experience!

No Karate In New Moon For Taylor Lautner

2009-05-17T07:01:00.005-07:00

4TNZ has an interview with Taylor Lautner (who was once a martial arts champion) about how he won't be getting to use any of his martial arts skills as Jacob in 'New Moon'.

In a recent radio interview, Taylor Lautner (who was once a teen martial arts champ; yes, that's him in the photo at the age of 11) revealed that he wouldn't be getting his kicks in on the set of New Moon.

"I mean Jacob really doesn't haveany martial arts skills, so I think it would be untrue for me to beusing some of those," he said (possibly with tears in his eyes).

"But, the thing with Jacob is that he is clumsy before his transformation, he trips when he walks. Once he transforms, he is very agile so I think that's where most of it will come into play. We've got a few things up our sleeves that I'll be able to do to show Jacob's agility post transformation."

I wonder what kinds of things they've got up sleeves for Jacob. I can't wait to find out!

What do you think?

Jackson Rathbone Can't Wait To Start Filming 'Eclipse'

2009-05-17T05:29:00.004-07:00

In 'Twilight' and 'New Moon' we don't learn a whole lot about Jasper Hale's character, but in 'Eclipse' we learn Jasper's whole backstory. In a recent article in MyPark Magazine, Jackson talks about 'Eclipse' and how he can't wait to start filming because we get to learn a lot more about his character.

Jackson Rathbone might be busy filming his New Moon scenes but he can't wait to film Elipse later this year.

In Eclipse we will learn a lot more about his character Jasper Hale.

TeenMag recently asked Jackson why Jasper's vampire abilities weren't mentioned in Twilight.

Jackson answered: "Well it doesn't really come out too much in the book. It's one of those things were it's understood but in the third book it really comes out like the back story and everything.

"I think one of the things we didn't want to get too much into was focusing on all the other vampires.

"We wanted really to establish this relationship and how she (Bella) gets sucked into the world of the Cullen family and once she's in the world that's when things kind of start coming out.

"One of the things about Jasper is he doesn't use the ability all the time. It's something that he's very strict about using because it's like an invasion of privacy to make someone feel something, to manipulate emotions."

We can't wait for 'Eclipse' either Jackson!!

A Rob Story That Will Make You Go Awww!

2009-05-16T17:48:00.008-07:00

I saw this story on Pattinson Life LJ today & absolutely fell in love with it. Just when you think you can't love Robert Pattinson even more you hear something like this. Captivated4121 wrote:

So back in September I wrote Rob a letter & sent him a mix CD I made especially for him. I didn't send a photo to get signed or an empty envelope with my address on it. I just told him that me writing him & what not wasn't about wanting something in return. I haven't checked my mail every day awaiting for something from him. I didn't expect anything at all.

So today when I check the mail I was given an amazing surprise!

Is he amazing or what! This just makes me go awwww.Thanks to captivated4121 for letting me repost your story here on CBA. I think is so cool that you made a mix tape for Rob and that you actually sent it to him without asking for anything in return. Kudos to you!

A New Gil Birmingham Interview

Twilighters Anonymous has an interview with everyone's favorite Gill Birmingham. Here is an excerpt:

TA.com: How did you first hear about the movie Twilight, and can you tell us a little bit about your audition process for the role of Billy Black?

GB: My agent brought me the script. At that time, I knew little about the Twilight books, but I knew that the character had a unique story, and that the vampire/werewolf romance genre had a great appeal. I felt very connected with the character, which apparently showed during the audition process.

TA.com: Has the Twilight hype affected you in anyway? After having gone through one Twilight film already, do you feel you are better prepared for the hype the second time around?

GB: The whole Twilight experience has been truly amazing. I am constantly in awe of the love and support that Twilight fans all over the world continue to give me. The downside is that I have less time now to communicate directly with my fans, but I hope they know that I feel truly blessed to be a part of this thing called Twilight. I’m at the point in my life where I can appreciate all the adoration from fans, but not get swept up in all the hype. I’m still the same Gil Birmingham I was before Twilight.

We love you Gil! You are the perfect Billy Black, no one could have done it better.

Wait, Robert Pattinson Is Doing Which Movies Again??

2009-05-15T15:44:00.003-07:00

He will be Edward Cullen in future installments of the "Twilight" Saga. We have "How To Be" and "Little Ashes". Now Rob is being linked to further Summit projects, Hugh Jackman and more. So, what can we expect from Rob in the future? Amanda Bell addresses some of the rumored projects in an article today.

Here is the run-down of what's being put out there:

Dune, a sci-fi novel by Frank Herbert, has been dubbed as one possibility. According to MTV, gabber Perez Hilton caught sight of Pattinson on his way from actor Peter Berg's home. Stating that Berg is working on an upcoming film remake of Dune, MTV's Adam Rosenberg speculates that there could be some affiliation between Pattinson and the film coming off of this meeting.
Bel Ami, which is described by the Encyclopedia Britannica as one of Guy de Maupassant's "most important full-length novels," is said to be a "detached but destructive portrait of the worlds of journalism and finance." According to my friends over a ROBsessed, "the French newspaper Lyon Plus [says] Rob will be in Paris for 3 months at the end of the summer to shoot a new movie which is the adaptation of the novel Bel-Ami written by Maupassant."
Unbound Captives, which is said by the Herald Sun to now include Robert Pattinson on the cast list, also stars Hugh Jackman, who has been on Pattinson fans' radar for a while for his ephemeral compliments of Pattinson's singing, his hair, and the like. Jackman, who hosted the Academy Award's ceremony that Pattinson made his first appearance at this year, is quite a character, and many fans are excited to see Pattinson work alongside the X-Men Origins: Wolverine star. Also starring in the film will be The Lovely Bones star Rachel Weisz, and the director will be Madeleine Stowe.

In our discussions here (see here), we have also talked about whether Robert Pattinson would be a good match for up-coming Summit Entertainment project The Secret Life of Houdini, and many fans agree that, based on his resume of excellence in character-acting (How To Be, Little Ashes, The Bad Mother's Handbook), Pattinson would make an excellent Houdini. The description of the story, according to Summit Entertainment, is as follows:

The comprehensive tome, published in 2006 by Atria Books, became known for insinuating that Harry Houdini acted as a spy for Britain and was asked to be an adviser to Czar Nicholas II's court in prerevolutionary Russia. The book also portrayed the master escape artist and magician as a debunker of con artists who pretended to be spiritualists, leading to the controversial theory that Houdini's death was caused by the spiritual movement as payback.

Others hope to see Pattinson take on a part of Nick Carraway in the 2010 re-making of the F. Scott Fitzgerald masterpiece The Great Gatsby. The novel, which chronicles the roaring twenties in American economic history, is wrought with self-deprication of an era, as Carraway takes us into the world of New York City right before the Great Depression. Between envy for riches and cynicism against unrestricted materialism, Carraway is a literary character of particular significance - and fans of Pattinson think that he is right for the part.

I will say that if Rob is in talks for these films, or films like these, then I am very impressed that he is really flexing his acting muscles. I really did not want him to be typecasted and end up stuck in roles that do not allow him to fully express his talents.

What do you think?

Nikki Reed To Joins Cast In Italy

2009-05-15T09:19:00.008-07:00

MTV reports Nikki Reed will be going to Italy with the New Moon cast while they are filming, although she isn't on the cast list & her character (Rosalie) did not go to Italy. She is joining Kellan Lutz (whose character didn't go to Italy either) just watch them shoot and enjoy the sights. She tells MTV:

"Put it this way: I am not in any of the scenes in Italy, but we've already made sure that I am going to Italy while they shoot that because I am sort of obsessed with that portion of the book. Basically [I'm just going to watch them shoot], and also, it is a chance to be in Italy and pretend like it's work. I have to be there - because I am in the film, so it's really important that I go along."

Is she hoping to get Rosalie added to a scene in Italy? "Absolutely not" she says:

"No. I feel so strongly about them sticking to the books."

"In fact, there was a scene in a very early draft of the 'New Moon' [script] that they had invented that was not in the books, and there was a discussion, and that scene is no longer in the script."

Native American Lore And Quileute Legends

2009-05-15T08:57:00.002-07:00

Deadbolt has an interesting article that discusses Native American folk lore involving wolves and how this is incorporated into the Quileute stories of the Twilight Saga.

History and the Werewolf

Although the Quileute tribe is said to be descended from wolves, there are a variety of Native North American tribes that have similar folklore in their rich lineage. The Navajo tribe (also known as the Navajo nation), the largest tribe in the United States, has a legend that is almost akin to the werewolf clan in the Twilight Saga. The Navajo version of the werewolf originates from the “Skinwalker” who actually attains the power to shape-shift. But in order to acquire the “evil” abilities of these shape-shifters, tribe members, as the legend goes, must kill a family member. On the other hand, the Quileute legend is much less gruesome as a Skinwalker is said to have encountered a wolf and then transformed it into a human being, thus the legend’s origins.

In relation to Twilight and New Moon, Stephanie Meyer takes it one step further by explaining in great detail how Jacob and the rest of the werewolf clan actually transform from human to werewolf from the angle of inner turmoil and the experience of the transformation. In New Moon, the transformation of Jacob Black is filled with questions surrounding mental pain and how the change is also linked to self-control. What’s different about how the legend and lore play out in New Moon with regard to the actual transformation, as compared to other werewolf based stories and films, is that it goes well beyond the visual transformation to a intriguing human level of

America's Latest & Greatest Baseball Movie: 'Twilight'

2009-05-14T16:06:00.006-07:00

The Chicago Sun Times has an artcile about how 'Twilight' is becoming the popular new baseball movie.

Move over, "Field of Dreams." Take a backseat, "The Natural." Hit the bench, "Mr. Baseball." There's a new flick putting everyone's favorite sport square in the batter's box and it's called "Twilight." It may get a bad rep as a cheesey, teeny bopper chick-flick, but hardcore "Twi-hards" know it's one hell of a baseball movie.

Didn't think vampires were willing to take a break from their busy blood-sucking/high school student-wooing schedule to enjoy a rousing game of baseball? You're wrong. (Un)dead wrong. As main character Edward Cullen himself says, vampires love baseball because "it's the American pastime."

In fact, from the first moments of the film, it's clear that neither young Hollywood, nor author Stephenie Meyer's characters are the stars: baseball is. It plays a role in nearly every important plot-point. Protagonist Bella Swan has to move from the safety of Phoenix, Ariz. to vampire-ridden Forks, Wash. because her mother's new baseball-player husband is heading to Jacksonville for spring training. (Eventually an injury and lack of talent puts an end to his career, and he takes a more permanent Florida-based job as a high school baseball coach, cementing Bella's open-ended stay in Forks.) She moves in with her real father who is a huge sports fan, spending most of his time watching Mariners games with his best friend, Billy Black, whose son Jacob plays a pivotal position (see how I did that?) in the film's sequels.

And in what is arguably the film's most dramatic moment, vampire heartthrob Edward takes Bella to play baseball with his family, only to draw the attention of some visiting vamps who challenge the coven to a game, realize Bella's a human, attempt to take a bite out of what they believe to be an after-game snack and kick off the film's violent climax.

So next time you get a hankering to be taken out to the cinematic ballgame, reach no further than to your wife/girlfriend/little sister's DVD collection and spend a some quality time on the field with the uber-emo cast of Twilight. Maybe you'll finally understand why we ladies all make Edward our first-round fantasy league pick.

I knew I'd always liked baseball for a reason!

Hugh Jackman Likes Rob's Hair

2009-05-14T15:15:00.005-07:00

Hugh Jackman did an interview recently with People Magazine and in it he mentioned his upcoming role with Rob and Rob's hair.

Cute Costar

Now that he's conquered the box office with Wolverine, Jackman is set to star in the 19th-century drama Unbound Captives with Twilight's Robert Pattinson. "He's a really great actor and a really good guy," said Jackman. "His role is phenomenal and it's going to be really amazing stuff."

And what does he think about Pattinson's famous hair? "I'm not an aficionado of hair, but his looks great."

I can't wait for that movie to come out! Hugh Jackman and Robert Pattinson both in the same movie together. My oh my, I think I might actually pass out!!

Thanks to Brandi for sending that to us!

2009-05-14T09:28:00.005-07:00

As we all know, yesterday was Rob's 23rd birthday and he celebrated with family and friends in Vancouver.

After 12 long hours on the New Moon set, Robert Pattinson headed back to his hotel at 6 p.m. Around 9 p.m., the birthday boy headed out to his favorite Vancouver drinking and dining spot, The Global Grill And Satay.

Entering through the back door with good buddy Sam Bradley, the boys made their way to their table, where they were joined shortly after by Kristen Stewart, Ashley Greene, Jamie Bower, Rob's parents, and other cast mates and friends.

Looks like he had a great time!

"S Darko" DVD Review ("Utah Too Much")

2009-05-13T22:01:00.001-07:00

Released on DVD May 12, 2009, S. Darko is the continuation of Richard Kelly's cult classic Donnie Darko.

The film stars Daveigh Chase (Donnie Darko, The Ring, HBO's Big Love), Ed Westwick (Gossip Girl), Jackson Rathbone (Twilight, Dread) and Briana Evigan (Step Up 2: The Streets). The run time is 103 minutes and the special features include:

• Filmmaker Commentary
• Deleted Scenes
• The Making of S. Darko
• Utah Too Much

Tagline: "It's Time To Travel Forward "

This film takes place several years after Donnie's death in the original.
If you have not seen Donnie Darko, the movie is about a teenage boy (Jake Gyllenhaal) who suffers from paranoid schizophrenia and has visions of "Frank", a six foot tall rabbit.
While Donnie is sleep walking one night, Frank informs him that the world will end in 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, 12 seconds and goes on to convince Donnie to commit different criminal acts. When a jet engine crashes through his bedroom, Donnie is not home and this event starts a chain reaction causing Donnie to realize that it is he alone who can save the world.

(Donnie Darko IMDB Page)

**Spoiler Alert Below: I have tried to include as few spoilers as possible, but there are some**

S Darko tells the tale of Donnie's sister, Samantha. Now 18 years old, Sam is still mourning her brother's death. Her family has fallen apart as a result of their loss and Sam has joined her friend Corey in a road trip across the country. Their car breaks down outside of Conejo Springs and while staying in the small town they meet such characters as Randy (Westwick), Jeremy (Rathbone) and Iraq Jack.

Just after the girls arrive, a meteorite strikes a local farmer's windmill and that is when the oddness begins to ensue. Sam has not been able to dream since her brother's death and she also begins to suffer from sleep walking. While she herself does not experience visions, Iraq Jack is a different story. He is very much like Donnie Darko in that he is thought to be "crazy" and his vision is of Samantha herself wearing a gown and with a large gash to her temple. Sam is an example of the manipulated dead that was also used as Frank in Donnie Darko. She, along with the town's missing boy, appear to bring messages to the "receivers" that are alive.

Like the original, S. Darko involves the idea of time travel as well as self sacrifice. Sam and Corey have an argument just before Samantha is hit by a car (I assure you, this is not a huge spoiler and happens early in the movie). Corey realizes that she would do anything to bring Sam back, which leads again to the notion that one person can save the world from ending.

Jackson's character, Jeremy Frame, is the town science nerd who purchases the fallen meteorite to study. Jeremy discovers that the meteorite contains metal that is not on the periodic table (Jeremy: "I'm going to call it Framium", Samantha: "Like your name?") and begins to develop a "rash". He meets Sam and Corey at the local diner and is immediately smitten with Samantha. Later in the movie, he is the one who purchases the gown that Sam is wearing in Iraq Jack's visions and asks her to watch the town fireworks with him at an overlook.

(pic credit: Jackson Rathbone Online)

Jackson does a great job of portraying Jeremy's timid side and later showing his anger and frustration. At the end of the movie, I was reminded of Adam in "Criminal Minds" when he was being questioned. Jeremy's character starts as hesitant yet excited. He is picked on by other teens in the town, but that does not stop him from introducing himself to Sam and Corey. He also attends a party in the hopes that Sam will be there. As his "rash" grows, as does his anger and determination and he suddenly becomes violent when he headbutts Randy, knocking him unconcious. Jackson does an excellent job making this change in Jeremy's attitude so smooth that one can actually see how the residents of the town may miss it. Jeremy, like Sam in her own family at home, tends to be overlooked and even after climactic moments in the film he is not seen as more than a science enthusiast.

The movie is not the original, nothing can be. I really enjoy that Jackson pointed out in the "Making of S. Darko" special feature that this is a "continuation". It is not trying to be what Donnie Darko was, but is telling Samantha's story. Richard Kelly's world cannot be duplicated and I enjoyed this movie as an extension of that universe.

I would recommend this movie to fans of Donnie Darko and Jackson fans alike, however, I do recommend watching the original first. These movies can both be a bit intricate and I will admit that when I first became a Donnie Darko fan I had to watch it more than once to truly grasp each idea.

Also, make sure that you catch the "Making of S. Darko" as well as "Utah Too Much" in the special features. The "Making Of..." helps to explain what is happening in the film and Jackson adds his own thoughts. "Utah Too Much" is a song that the guys in the cast including Jackson sat down and wrote and the feature includes lots of behind the scene shots.

'New Moon' Soundtrack Hopefuls

2009-05-13T20:56:00.003-07:00

The Examiner's Amanda Bell takes a look at all the 'New Moon' soundtrack hopefuls, who wants in!!

"Kelly Clarkson, Justin Guarini, even Madonna at one point - these are all names you've heard throw around with regard to the soundtrack for the up-coming Chris Weitz film The Twilight Saga: New Moon.

On Twilight's soundtrack, we saw the likes of Paramore, Muse, and Robert Pattinson (singing songs penned by himself and friends Bobby Long, Marcus Foster, and Sam Bradley). For New Moon, however, the ballpark is a little wider."

Amanda also wants your opinion ... do you want to see more indie music make the cut or mainstream??

New Deadbolt Feature: How Will Robert Pattinson Be A Powerful Twilight Presence In Sequel 'New Moon'?

2009-05-13T16:52:00.005-07:00

As filming wraps up in Vancouver for the upcoming Twilight sequel New Moon, Twilight stars Robert Pattison, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Nikki Reed, Peter Facinelli and the other Twilight Saga actors will soon be looking ahead to their time in Italy where the New Moon production comes to a close. After the first Twilight film, based on the popular Stephenie Meyer series of novels, New Moon opens up the characters even more as they evolve into more diverse and emotionally concrete figures in the Twilight Saga. How each handles their characters for a second time, namely Robert Pattinson, is a powerful question surrounding the anticipation for New Moon.

The nature of New Moon, however, sets a different tone than Twilight with its darker and more painful layers while an element of despair runs throughout the story. Edward Cullen, Bella Swan and Jacob Black each battle their own inner turmoil as they struggle with adolescence, love, the changes within themselves, and the dynamics of how they fit into the Twilight world with and without each other. Given how New Moon takes shape, the once upfront and visible Robert Pattinson in Twilight steps into the shadows for the sequel to make way for Taylor Lautner whose Jacob Black character becomes the major visible male presence.

New Dramatic Diversity

[spoilers]

In the sequel, Edward leaves Bella for her own safety, which sparks deep, emotional turmoil and pain in both characters but also opens up a new form of conflict. Although Jacob makes a physical transformation in New Moon, Edward is not far behind with a change of his own that’s directly related to Bella. New Moon becomes a turning point for Edward in his view of Bella. Pattinson has already proved to the world that he can play the brooding vampire but he will need to focus on expressing another side of the character in Edward’s distress. Interestingly, given how Pattinson is still in the early stages of his career, the emotional complexities within Edward in New Moon will require more of the actor than in previous roles he’s taken on in terms of dramatic diversity.

The Evolution of Edward and Robert

New Moon showcases the delicate balance between Edward Cullen and the ancient Volturi Vampire Clan. [spoilers] Their presence and the consequences that they bring forth to Edward and Bella set up the beginning of the next novel, Eclipse. Love and life are tested in New Moon so it’s up to Robert Pattison and his second interpretation of Edward Cullen to illustrate the actions of an immortalized hero with a new sense of self-realization in regard to how he feels about Bella Swan. Again, given how Robert Pattinson is at the early stages of his career, fans will also get to see the evolution of Edward Cullen along with Robert Pattinson in “near” real time as he develops as an actor.

In many ways the question of Robert Pattinson keeping the presence of Edward alive in New Moon is directly related to Pattinson keeping alive the presence of himself, the actor, to venture into new territory and accept the challenges of Edward. There’s no question that the New Moon production is under an enormous amount of pressure to produce an even more visually stunning and fan-connecting translation of its literary counterpart than Twilight. That pressure also trickles down to the actors and everyone contributing to make New Moon.

Nikki Reed Joins Sage & The Dills On Stage

2009-05-13T15:38:00.006-07:00

Sage & the Dills took the stage at Hollywood's Hotel Cafe on Tuesday night with a very special guest: Twilight's Nikki Reed. Sage, the lead singer of the band, is best buds with the actress, who arrived in a purple beanie and dark jeans.

Reed even took the stage for a couple of songs, playing tambourine on "Go and Tell Your Mother," and lending some very pretty backup vocals to a track or two. "This used to be my best friend Nikki's favorite," Sage said while introducing one song. "I'm dedicating this to her." Reed, who hung back in the corner of the stage as she sang along, seemed a little shy about her vocals. "Please, turn this mic off," she laughed to the sound tech after she was on stage for a few minutes.

"Nikki did my hair and makeup before every show when we were growing up," Sage told RadarOnline.com after the concert. "She still does my hair and makeup." The two are longtime friends, and Sage often refers to Nikki as "my sister." So can we expect the bffs to make music together in the future? While Sage says they've never written songs with one another, we wouldn't rule it out -- especially after witnessing Reed's tambourine skills!

This Sunday, May 17th at 9pm EST, Lifetime Movie Network will premiere the movie "Do You Know Me?" starring Rachelle Le Fevre. I was watching Lifetime today and my attention was caught when I heard "Twilight's Rachelle Le Fevre stars....". I thought it was really cool that they mentioned Twilight.

Here's the description off of LMN's website:

A young woman is shocked to see herself on a milk carton as a "missing person" and decides to investigate. She soon finds herself on the run from both sides of the law.

Sounds pretty interesting. The movie also stars Jeremy London and you can check out all the details at LMN.

23 Reasons To Love Robert Pattinson

2009-05-13T09:36:00.004-07:00

In honor of Rob turning 23 today, MTV Movies blogger Nicole Guanlao has created a list of 23 reasons why you should love Rob (as if you needed a list.....or to stop at 23 reasons).

11: When he made his first appearance in “Twilight” and entered the cafeteria, he made us all wish that we lived in some rainy town with vampires running rampant in the woods. Sure it sounds scary, but none of that mattered as long as we could see Robert during lunch period. It made me yearn for my high school days. Oh the memories!

10: He can talk about his underwear, his toenails, and his not-so-stellar running ability on camera and still make the ladies swoon. I mean how many other heartthrobs would be willing to talk about those topics? Yeah. None.

9: If his vampire skills ever fail him, he can always resort to his expertise in wizardry. Which makes him lethal with a wooden stick.

Robert Pattinson and Hugh Jackman Joining Forces

2009-05-13T08:15:00.007-07:00

Please tell me this is real! Rob & Hugh Jackman in a movie together:

Two of the biggest stars on the planet and a recent Best Actress Oscar winner are making Madeline Stowe's dream come true. The actress best known for her work in "The Last of the Mohicans" will make her directorial and screenwriting debut with the drama "Unbound Captives." More enticing, Variety reports that Robert Pattinson, Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz have joined the cast of the independent film.

A period Western set in 1859, "Captives" will find Weisz playing a woman whose husband is murdered and two children are kidnapped by a Comanche war party. A frontiersman played by Jackman rescues her. Pattinson will play a son, but its unclear if that is Weisz's or Jackman's. Curiously, the plot is strangely familiar to Ron Howard's "The Missing," but "Captives" has a long development history preceding that thriller.

Read more HERE.

I hope this works out for Rob & doesn't end up like his role in PPB.

To show you how much I love Rob & Hugh, just the other day my husband and I were chatting on Skype & he had to rub it in because I missed the big red carpet Wolverine premier here in AZ. My DH:

"You missed the Wolverine premiere in Tempe about two weeks ago.

You know about when Robert Pattison sneezes but not a thing about your old favorite Hugh Jackman."

I think he needs to sign up for Twilight Widowers and yes - he doesn't even know how to spell Rob's last name lol!

Tiffster's EyeCon Experience

2009-05-12T21:28:00.011-07:00

Tiffster2190 sent us these amazing pictures and her account of EyeCon 2009! She got to meet Edi Gathegi, Peter Facinelli, Kellan Lutz, and Jackson Rathbone. What a lucky girl! Read what she had to say in her email:

"The convention was amazing. I feel like I know Kellan even though I don't lol which is weird...but anyway he remembered me and then continued to tell me how he had the best conversation with my dad at the last convention and that my dad was a really cool guy. Peter is just a completely respectable person. He cares about his family so much and I love to hear him talk about them. Edi is actually the funniest guy I've ever met. ...Jackson..LOVE HIM! His band is so incredibly talented and unique. My friends and I went to his after party and when his band does improv its just...WOW. Best stuff I've ever heard seriously. I left the party at 3:30am and went back to the hotel and hung out in the gaming room with Peter and Kellan. Kellan really doesn't like to lose lmao. His competitiveness is very cute.

The only thing about conventions is there is barely any love for Kristen Stewart. Im a HUGE fan of her so I asked Kellan (because I knew he would give the best answer) what it was like to work with her and he said this: 'Kristen is one of my favorite female actresses to work with, she's sassy, she's fierce. She doesn't give a crap about what anyone says and she speaks her mind. Its fun to challenge her and push her buttons and she usually wins but I hate to lose so that makes me wanna win and thats why I scare her as much as I do because she's just a...shes SO funny and witty and shes such a little girl. I didn't realize, I had a scene with her in New Moon where I like pick her up in this big bear hug and spin her around and...shes so light, I thought I was gonna like throw her into the wall, I spun so fast I was like woah. so yeah she's amazing to work with, I'm in love with her shes so talented.'

Jackson was very open about his love for Ashley. They asked who does he have a crush on and he blushed and goes...ASHLEY! And then someone asked if he had to be on a deserted island with anyone in the cast who would it be and he goes "well if I answer this then it requires and explanation....AW HELL! I WOULD PICK ASHLEY! I want to be deserted with her".

**It sounds like she had a lot of fun! What a great guy Kellan is, to say such sweet things about KStew. Thank you, Tiffster, for sharing with us!

Jackson Rathbone's New Tattoo

2009-05-12T09:21:00.000-07:00

**Update 5/12**

Jackson and the rest of the Monkeys have requested that the tattoo picture posted be taken down from fansites and also facebook. This explains why I was having a bit of trouble finding other pictures.

Because we at CBA have the utmost respect for the actors and their wishes, we have taken the picture down from this post.

(Thank you to Lexy for letting us know and helping us to respect Jackson's wishes.)

-JessH

Goodness, this man takes my heart a little more each day.....ah, tattoos.

Pillow Biters is reporting that Jackson is now sporting a new tattoo thanks to a tatto artist at EyeCon in Florida.

"Today while Kellan was speaking to his adoring fans during the Q&A Session, Jackson had the EyeCon Tattoo Artist give him a second tattoo. I heard that it was a heart (maybe on his back) and perhaps said, 'I Love Mom..'"

This tattoo, according to previous interviews with Jackson, will make two for the actor.

100 Monkeys At EyeCon 2009, With A Sprinkle Of Kellan & Peter

2009-05-12T06:53:00.000-07:00

The wonderful Allison just sent us this COOL report from the 100 Monkey's concert at EyeCon. Thank you so much for sharing Allison, we can't stop drooling!

So here's Jackson Rathbone along with his bandmates:

Here's the Banana Guy who was running around the room dancing with everyone. He was everywhere:

*Updated 5/12*

Thanks to Rylinn who noted that "Banana Guy" is Marty and he's the manager of 100 Monkeys. He's also known as their "bananager" (Thanks, Brightredink for reminding us!).

Here's the best group shot I had of the 100 Monkeys:

There's Jackson Rathbone on the drums. The whole concert was really interesting because they were all switching instruments. They all are very musically talented. I never really listened to 100 Monkeys but they are pretty awesome and chill:

Peter Facinelli and Kellan Lutz came into the concert about half way through. So as we were leaving we ran into them in the lobby and stopped for a few pictures. He gladly took some pictures but then said he had to go. Where is it that he had to go you ask?

He had to go play some Super Smash Bros. Brawl with Kellan Lutz. I really wanted to play because I really think that I could have taken both of them on but I was being pulled away by my friends to go somewhere. Ughhh. One day I will get to play video games with the Cullens. One day...

New Peter Facinelli Interview

2009-05-12T06:21:00.002-07:00

OME! Woman Finds New Moon Script In The Trash

2009-05-11T21:49:00.008-07:00

The AP is reporting that a St. Louis woman found 2 scripts in the trash, one was for New Moon and the other was Memoirs. She considered giving the scripts to a tabloid but decided against it and instead turned them into Summit Entertainment. In return for her good deed she was invited to both premiers, New Moon and Memoirs:

Casey Ray found two scripts, one for the vampire sequel "New Moon," and one for a different movie titled "Memoirs." She decided to return them to the studio making the films. In return, she was invited to attend the movies' premieres, her lawyer said.

Ray recently was waiting for her fiance to finish work when she spotted two scripts in a trash container. She was outside a hotel where actors were staying during a St. Louis shoot for the upcoming George Clooney movie, "Up in the Air."

It's not clear how the scripts wound up in the bin.

The Clooney movie includes actress Anna Kendrick, who is also in the "Twilight" vampire movie. A spokeswoman for Kendrick, Lisa Perkins, said the actress wouldn't have left scripts lying around.

Read more from the AP HERE. Click HERE to check out the Twilight Examiner, Amanda Bell's, article about it.

Memoirs aka Remember Me, is the new Summit Ent. movie Robert Pattinson will be starring in.

WOW! What would you have done if you found the New Moon script? I'm sure all CBA's readers would have turned it in immediately.

Thanks Rolltide4me!

Bronzehairedgirl620's Eulogy for Stephanie (Daddy's Little Cannibal)

2009-05-11T18:02:00.010-07:00

September 11^th, 1990-May 8^th, 2009

"We all die. The goal isn't to live forever. The goal is to create something that will."- Chuck Palahniuk, one of Stephanie's favorite authors.

"When other little girls wanted to be ballerinas, I wanted to be Jeffry Dahmer."-Stephanie (Daddy's Little Cannibal)

Persevere: To persist in anything undertaken; maintain a purpose in spite of difficulty, obstacles or discouragement. To continue steadfastly.

Daddy's Little Cannibal was undoubtedly the best author on FF, and will continue to be remembered for many years to come. I told her this numerous times, and although she didn't believe me, the overwhelming amount of support we've received over the past few days definitely shows that.

I've been asked by both Stephanie's sister and a few readers to write a eulogy from a slightly different perspective. Daddy's Little Cannibal was killed in a drunk driving accident on May 8th, and will forever be remembered by everyone who was fortunate enough to know her.

I wish you all could've known her like I did. She was an amazing person, so full of life and imagination. Her creativity was unbelievable, her story ideas original and flawlessly written, and her personality was even better. She was funny, kind, understanding, and didn't let anything faze her. Whenever she'd receive a flame, she'd talk about it but move on, not wanting it to dampen her spirits. Whenever I'd send her a page long rant at 3am, she'd listen and say more than ' I'm sorry.' Whenever my writing was horrible and off, she'd wait for me to figure it out and help me instead of getting irritated. She was the best collaboration partner I could've asked for, and I'm honored that I was the person she chose to write stories with.

If there are two things Stephanie wanted to pass onto everyone, it's to write for yourself and to persevere. She told everyone not to listen to what the readers want, but to write what the author thinks is fair, and if it's justified, the readers will understand. She taught FF to push forward no matter what, to persevere. It was that optimistic attitude that kept my love of writing growing, as it fueled many around the world. We wanted to get matching tattoos with the word, just to remember that at the end of the day, flames and bad reviews aren't worth it. Stephanie never let anything get her down, and truly lived her own advice.

If there's anything she wanted to tell the Fanfiction world, it's to continue despite all obstacles. To never back down and never give up, just as Stephanie never did.

Stephanie was a phenomenal person in addition to being an amazing writer. She'd make me laugh with jokes about seeing movies with Canadian being a language and her dog humping analogies, as well as our love of Mel Brooks films. We planned on going to Florida and learning how to wrestle, as well as me going down, staying with her, and getting hit on by gay guys at the Lizard Lounge.

And that if we were lesbians, we decided we'd be together. ;)

She claimed she dragged me into everything, but I'm so glad she did. If she hadn't, I wouldn't have known what an amazing person she was. She truly was one of my closest friends. If I had never harassed her to let me beta the original Cigarette Burns, I would've never gotten to know her as well as I have, and for that I am truly grateful.

She was a flabbergastingly awesome person, and yes, that's a word. Stephanie said so. She inspired many around the world to put themselves out on a limb and write, and I know she'll be missed by all who had the chance to read one of her stories.

She made Fanfiction and the Twilight community a better place. Her work will go on to be remembered, and she's made her mark. She's a legend. I know if she were here right now, she'd be looking at the number of people who have given her family and me support and wondering why people cared so much.

It's because we love you, Steph. :)

I hope you all remember her as an amazing author and even better person. And yes, Stephanie, I fully plan on writing that editorial on you being the unicorn queen. You just wait.

"And so the artist fell in love with the drug addict."

"What a stupid artist."

"What a sick, manipulative drug addict."

-Daddy's Little Cannibal, 'Cigarette Burns'

JR: That would be Kellan [Lutz]. He truly is Emmett.

RO: You live in a house with other members of your band, 100 Monkeys, in Hollywood. What’s the hardest part about being roomies with two other guys?

Breaking Dawn Goes From "Optioned Property" To "Script" On IMDb Pro

2009-05-11T02:05:00.005-07:00

The status of Breaking Dawn on IMDb Pro has gone from "optioned property" to "script" and "planning to start in late spring 2010." The Twilight Examiner, Amanda Bell has written an article about it:

For weeks, we've been speculating about whether this portion of the story of our favorite Twilight characters (one which many Twilight fans to be of more than mild importance) will be brought to the big screen.

It appears that crossed fingers can relax, now, though. Instead of being listed as "optioned property" on IMDb Pro, Breaking Dawn is now in "script," and "[p]lanning to start in late spring 2010."

The plans for production are, quite frankly, right on schedule, with the quickened pace of the Twilight series' production (a fact which appeases many of even the harshest critics as - we all well know - many of the characters' physical characteristics are not subject to change as are, say, the humans portraying them)...

Read more HERE.

Also, we reported back in April, on an article from The Wrap.com about the production schedule of Breaking Dawn. This news seems to confirm their story.
