Photos of Robert Pattinson in Bel Ami

OK you know I don't usually post random actor shots on the blog when they have nothing whatsoever to do with Twilight. But... well... today, I feel I must.

I mean really, people. LOOK AT HIM! He was made for period pieces. In fact,  have I not been bitching for months about wanting to see Robert Pattinson in a period piece? Oh  yes I have. And now he is busy working on the film adaptation of Bel Ami by  Guy de Maupassant... about a 19th century journalist's rise to power by sleeping with various wealthy women (most or all married, I might add). Uma Thurman? Hello. She's turning 40. Kristen Scott Thomas? 48, I believe. This is quite a bold on RPattz's part. I LOVE IT. So much so that I may just have to read Bel Ami - right after I'm finished reading the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. (Is that a shameless plug or what?)

Why Twilight Just "Worked"

This is why Twilight worked. Look at this photo. I pulled this up (on Latchkey Wife) and my first thought was "EDWARD!" Not "Rob".... Not "What's with the Casual Friday ensemble?!" just... "EDWARD!"

I've been waiting patiently for New Moon to come out on Video. But honestly - I'm not nearly as excited as I thought I'd be. It's not the same. Nothing against Chris Weitz or any of the actors... I just... truly think I liked Twilight better. Why?

Because of Catherine Hardwicke.

They can call her quirky all they want. But the woman captured the essence of Twilight. She gets it. She understands and is able to project it properly onto the screen. She brings across the novel. I'm no feminist, but I can honestly say I think this is because she has boobs. She's a female; we're wired differently. We understand the emotion and realize it's more important than sometimes even visuals - like "blowing up stuff"... know what I mean?

So if you're still hunting for Breaking Dawn directors, oh Summit... you might want to consider a female. Just sayin'...

Great new Midnight Sun video from Tiffanyd666

WAIT until you see this. It's a Twilight/Midnight Sun video with lots of Edward. It's from Tiffanyd666 who - in my opinion - makes the best fan videos for Twilight. Period.

AND - check out the scene at 59 seconds. It's a deleted scene that they should have kept in. Edward is standing at his car with Emmett and Bella walks down the stairs behind him - and he grips the car hard because he can smell her behind him. He never even sees her before she walks by; just knows her scent. Check out the LOOK on his face. It's way better than the look on his face from the first day they met in biology class (when he looks like someone passed gas). Why they cut this scene out is beyond me. What is it, all of a 15 second scene?? I'm sure Catherine had a good reason but wow - wish they could have just added more time to the film. As if we'd have a problem with a 3 hour Twilight film????

Stephenie Meyer talks about the Twilight Graphic Novel

From StephenieMeyer.com:

January 20, 2010

Here is a press release from Hachette Book Group which was released just a few minutes ago:

YEN PRESS ANNOUNCES TWILIGHT: THE GRAPHIC NOVEL, VOL. 1 WILL GO ON-SALE ON MARCH 16, 2010
NEW YORK, NY (January 20, 2010) — Yen Press, the graphic novel imprint of Hachette Book Group, announced that it will publish the highly-anticipated first volume in the graphic novel adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight on March 16, 2010. Twilight: The Graphic Novel, Volume 1 will be released in hardcover for $19.99 ($22.99 CAN) with a first printing of 350,000 copies. As is typical in graphic novel publishing, due to the length of the prose novel, the book will be divided into two volumes and the release date for the second volume is forthcoming.
Twilight: The Graphic Novel contains selected text from Meyer's original novel with illustrations by Korean artist Young Kim. A rare fusion of Asian and Western comic techniques is reflected in this black-and-white graphic novel with color interspersed throughout. Meyer consulted throughout the artistic process and had input on every panel.
"I've enjoyed working on this new interpretation of Twilight," said Meyer. "Young has done an incredible job transforming the words that I have written into beautiful images. The characters and settings are very close to what I was imagining while writing the series."
Kurt Hassler, Yen Press Publishing Director, said, "Few American publishing properties are better suited to introduce a vast readership to the medium of graphic novel than the phenomenon that is Stephenie Meyer's Twilight. Yen Press will certainly continue to expand this audience with the help of Bella and Edward."
In four years, Stephenie Meyer has become a worldwide publishing phenomenon. The Twilight Saga’s translation rights have been sold in nearly 50 countries and 85 million copies have been sold worldwide.

A little RPattz hilarity for a Friday afternoon...

So Jenn D, Jenn M and I were having an amusing little email convo about RPattz. It involved our thoughts on how we'd like to spend an evening with him... and Jenn D sent some lovely photos to capture the fantasy. Enjoy.

From Jenn D:

This is the look I expect us to get when Rob intercepts this email thread (because you know he stalks me):




 






Followed soon by the second pic, after we've plied him with whiskey & ale.

Then the third pic, which I will just call "The Morning After" 













Jenn D: And lastly?  When we remind him we'll see him the same time next week.  ;)

Taylor Lautner Gets Talked Over at the Golden Globes

Am I the only one who was appalled to hear people talking while Taylor Lautner was speaking tonight at the Golden Globes? Totally rude and inconsiderate. Guess he hasn't been around long enough to warrant courtesy. *Thanks to Celebrity Gossip for the photo.

Breaking Dawn Movie(s): Stephenie Meyer Says "No Drama"

From Stephenie Meyer's website:

January 12, 2010
Just a quick note on the subject of the Breaking Dawn film: there is no drama over whether the book should be one movie or two. My personal feeling is that it would be very difficult to cram the whole story into one movie (as I've said in many interviews previous to this), but if a great way of doing that surfaces, I'm all for it. Two or one, whichever way fits the story best is fine by me, and everyone I've spoken with at Summit seems to feel the same way. We're all excited to move forward on this, and we are slowly and surely getting there. I know people are anxious for news, and so sometimes gossip gets fabricated to stir things up, but there's no basis to this particular story.

Access Hollywood Interview with Peter Facinelli

What a sweetie. I dig that he's cool about Twitter and isn't spewing to the masses about a bunch of nonsense. Go team Carlisle!  OH and how about him talking about the WIG?! I admit - I abused it. But only because he's way too sexy for his wig...right? I appreciate the fact that it was job-related. Once again - PFach just keeps bringin' the classy.

PASADENA, Calif. --

Peter Facinelli plays an eccentric doctor in Showtime’s “Nurse Jackie,” but in Season 2, Dr. Fitch Cooper ends up having something in common with the actor himself – a Twitter account.
And when asked about the difference between Coop’s Twitter account and his own at the Television Critics Association “Nurse Jackie” panel on Saturday in Pasadena, Calif., Peter said it was all about the numbers.
“He doesn’t have nearly as many people following him,” Peter, who has nearly 1.5 million devotees, said.
The star said he enjoys the social networking site, but unlike some stars, he has no plans to make his personal space commercial.
“It’s a great way to share information with them and it’s also a great way to entertain,” he said. “I like being able to put a smile on people’s faces and I like being able to also mix that up with sharing information with them that’s important and also letting them know what I’m doing. I mean I’ve had people come to me and say, ‘Hey, will you Tweet this out?’ There’s like paid advertisement stuff. I’m not into that. I like to keep my Twitter pure. I don’t want to sell my followers anything.”
One thing Peter’s Twitter follower already know is that the star was traveling from Vancouver to New York on a regular basis over the fall to film “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” the third film in Stephenie Meyer’s vampire novels-turned-movies, and “Nurse Jackie.” But he revealed on Saturday that because the two characters – Carlisle Cullen and Coop – look so different, he had to go the Kristen Stewart way and use fake hair.
“Because I was doing both projects at the same time I wore a wig,” Peter said of changing into Carlisle’s light blonde coif for “Eclipse.” “I mean, there were days where I was literally running for hours in the forest and then I jump on a plane and I would be on the ‘Nurse Jackie’ set. I was going from Vancouver to NY every three days.”

Hilarious Twilight Parody

Oh holy shit. I have to thank robpattinsonphotos.blogspot.com for posting this UTTER HILARITY. (Not that I look at websites that show photos of Rob Pattinson or anything.) It's by some dude named PirateNolan on youtube. Enjoy!

Pattinson to get intimate with Thurman in Bel Ami

A love scene with Kristin Scott Thomas??? She's older than me! 8 YEARS older than me!! SQUEEEE!!!!!

TWILIGHT star Robert Pattinson is all set to film a love making scene with actress Uma Thurman in their upcoming movie Bel Ami.

The Hollywood's latest heartthrob is starring in the big screen version of Guy de Maupassant's 19th Century novel Bel Ami, where he plays an ambitious young journalist Georges Duroy who sleeps his way to the top, Contactmusic reported.

The 23-year-old actor's first on-screen conquest will be Thurman's character Madeleine.

Film fans could possibly see Pattinson get steamy with Christina Ricci and Kristin Scott Thomas, who star as Clotilde and Virginie respectively in the film.

The movie will be helmed by theatre director Declan Donnellan, who is making his celluloid debut, and three other actresses are to join the all-star cast.

Pattinson is hoping 'Bel Ami' is a success as he recently admitted he finds it "scary" taking on work outside of the 'Twilight' franchise.

The British actor, who plays vampire Edward Cullen in the hit movie series, said, "You get offered stuff that you would never dream of getting offered before, but that's also scary. You don't have to audition for anything.

"Before 'Twilight,' I did any movie that I got offered, and you'd try and make the best of it afterwards. But now, you're expected to come into the movie and provide not only economic viability, but also a performance as well," Pattinson said.

"Damn the Sun for Shining its Glow All Over Rob"

I wouldn't have even posted this - but that is truly the GREATEST line I've heard in months. Definitely the first seriously decent line of 2010. Kudos to New Moon Movie for some serious hilarity.

Taylor Lautner's People's Choice Award Speech

Ya know... I wax on about RPattz too damn much on this blog and do not give nearly enough lurve to this CU-TIE-PIE of a TayLaut. Look at him - it's truly hard to fathom that he's only 17. (Um how long has he been 17? Srsly? Isn't he 18 yet? Jesus hurry up and have a birthday so we can all stop feeling so dirty and pervy.) He is looking very old world Hollywood. I couldn't be happier for this kid. (Oh and PS - Chris Pine was robbed. Did you see Star Trek? You should.)
