Eclipse Trailer Premiere!

Carrie — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 15:00:40 +0000

Twilight fans can breathe a bit easier now. Summit Entertainment has finally released a trailer for this June’s highly anticipated Twilight Saga: Eclipse. A couple of days ago a mini, and I do mean mini, trailer came out that lasted all of 11 seconds.

Eclipse’s trailer shows us the new Victoria, played by Bryce Dallas Howard. It also plays up the love triangle between Bella, Edward and Jacob. But as any fan of the books knows, there’s not much of a triangle.

This trailer is just the first of many to come out, I’m guessing, as Summit gets ready to launch another massive publicity tour in a couple of months for this film.

Kristen Stewart dons a wig in this installment, as she had cut her hair for her role in The Runaways right before shooting on Eclipse began. I wasn’t the biggest fan of New Moon, so I’m hoping for more Robert Pattinson and just a little less Taylor Lautner. A girl can dream, right?

Parade Magazine’s Robert Pattinson Interview

Carrie — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:06:12 +0000

Parade Magazine’s Jeanne Wolf interviewed Robert Pattinson on the heels of his film, Remember Me, opening this Friday. See the link below for the full story.

He talks about the type of career he’d like to have and what it will take to achieve that. Pattinson also discusses the possibilities of making an album and how he deals with his new found fame.

Pattinson may get a bad rap sometimes, but I think it’s refreshing to see someone who appears not to be concerned with the fame part of his job. He honestly wants to do good work and leave all the outside, celebrity stuff for another actor to deal with.
