Chaske Spencer to be honored with award
Posted on 15. May, 2012 by amydod.
Chaske Spencer, who plays the role of Sam Uley in the “Twilight Saga” Films is to be honored for supporting his work creating a positive shift in the lives of many. Chaske Spencer, star of The Twilight Saga film series: New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn pt. 1 & 2 is to be honored on June 22nd, 2012 at the 6th Annual Shortstack™ Charity Fashion Show. He is receiving the Barbara Harmon Unsung Hero Award, presented annually to an individual in honor of their contribution to the lives of others. Their selfless service often goes unrecognized, and the Unsung Hero Award is intended to bring light to the work that they do. This award was founded in the memory of Barbara Harmon, an incredible woman who never received nor wanted the credit for the countless hours of community service and for the difference she made in the lives that crossed her own. From working with babies born addicted to drugs, to supporting adolescent youth in her community, to assisting at the World Trade Center disaster, Barbara Harmon embodied the spirit of true heroism.
The 6th Annual Shortstack Charity Fashion Show will be held on Friday, June 22nd, 2012 at the Midtown Loft and Terrace on 5th Avenue in New York City, which overlooks the Empire State Building. Shortstack™ is a teen driven fashion and modeling program whose goal is to allow young girls who do not fit the “normal” model standards to be a part of charitable fashion events. “I am truly excited that Chaske is joining us at this year’s show,” states Olivia Mignone, founder of Shortstack. “We are trying to shift the fashion industry to become more inclusive of all body types, sending a more empowering message of acceptance to society, which is in complete alignment with how he empowers the lives of others.” For years, girls have been rejected from the modeling industry because they are too short. Shortstack was created by teens under the guidance of the non-profit agency Windows of Opportunity, Inc. to give these “short” girls a chance at achieving their dreams as models and empower them to love themselves for who they are.

Help Us Get Lisa to the Breaking Dawn – Part 2 Premiere!
Posted on 01. May, 2012 by Amanda31.
The Breaking Dawn – Part 2 premiere is still 7 months away, but we’re busy planning on how to get Lisa (aka The TwilightMOM) to LA for the event. She always has a reason why she’s unable to attend, but not this year: You may remember that I promised Stephenie Meyer at the BD1 premiere that Lisa would be in attendance for the saga finale (around the 1:20 mark of the video below) – the sole purpose of that promise being that Lisa can’t back out of going now because Stephenie is expecting her!
So, here’s where y’all come in – we need your help in getting Lisa to the premiere. If you’d like to donate ANY amount to the Operation Lisa fund, you can do so through the “Donate” button below.
Every penny is much appreciated, and we hope to see many of you camping out for the premiere as well! Thank you in advance for your generosity!

An Update From Stephenie Meyer about ‘Down A Dark Hall’
Posted on 19. Apr, 2012 by lisa.
A message from Steph about the recently announced DOWN A DARK HALL project.
April 18, 2012
Hi all,
Just wanting to comment on the story Variety ran today. We weren’t going to announce this until more of the project had come together, but here goes! My production company, Fickle Fish, acquired the option to Lois Duncan’s novel Down a Dark Hall a while back. We’re developing this project with our good pals at Temple Hill Entertainment, who we are so excited to be working with again. Not too much information to share as yet, but even in this early stage, it is still very exciting. I grew up reading and loving Lois Duncan novels, and I can’t believe my good luck that I get to be involved with this project. Down a Dark Hall was my favorite of her novels (though it’s a very close race with Summer of Fear and Stranger with My Face) and it gave me some serious nightmares when I was nine. I will have more information on my Fickle Fish site for those interested when there is more to share. These things are very slow moving, though, so it will probably be a while.
In the meantime, shooting on The Host is going awesomely–and quickly. I can’t believe we’re almost done. Things are looking fairly extraordinary and I cannot wait to see what Andrew Niccol will do with all this amazing footage. However, I am not ready to be done because I am not ready to give up Saoirse, who I would happily adopt by force if I didn’t like her parents so much, and if she wasn’t legally an adult. (By the way, for those who have asked about pronunciation, Saoirse rhymes with “inertia.”)
More soonish,
Steph

EW Visits THE HOST Set and Talks About Changes in the Seekers’ Appearance for the Film
Posted on 18. Apr, 2012 by lisa.
Last week, EW made a special sneak peek visit to the set of The Host, the big screen adaptation of Twilight author Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling sci-fi novel. This is our first of several reports.
An hour outside of Albuquerque, N.M., on the rocky edge of a small, picturesque canyon, Diane Kruger (Inglourious Basterds) is squinting into the sun. She’s flanked by two sleek, silver sports cars, and her eyes are ringed with an eerie, iridescent circle. They’re both signs that Kruger is playing The Seeker — a dogged member of the police force of an alien species called Souls, who have successfully invaded our planet by literally invading our bodies. She’s looking for Wanderer (Hanna‘s Saoirse Ronan, pictured with costar Max Irons), a member of her race who, aptly, has wandered off into the desert after the consciousness of her human host, Melanie, cajoled Wanderer into finding what’s left of Melanie’s human family. The Seeker is also keenly set on finding this rag-tag cluster of the remains of humanity, but for very different reasons. “We find her,” Kruger (as The Seeker) mutters to herself, “we find the threat.”
They go on to discuss changes to the appearance of The Seekers, namely Diane Kruger’s character, from the book, and Stephenie Meyer’s approval of writer-director Andrew Niccol’s vision with taking the Seeker look from dark to light.
Fans of Stephenie Meyer’s 600-plus-page novel have likely already gathered from the description above that film interpretation of The Seeker is almost the exact opposite of how she’s described in the book. Instead of small, dark-haired, and clad mostly in black, the very blonde Kruger stands regally on some serious wedge heels, dressed in a futuristic cream-colored pant suit. It’s a change designed by writer-director Andrew Niccol (Gattica, In Time) to reflect the “purity” of the egalitarian Souls, and Meyer told me on the set that she happily embraced it. Gattica is her favorite sci-fi film of all time.
And for those of you worrying about how in the world the movie plans to differentiate Wanderer’s voice with Melanie’s, it sounds like Saoirse Ronan is up to the challenge.
As for the delightful Ronan, although she wasn’t working that day, she came out to the set to speak with EW about the film, one day after the Oscar-nominated Irish actress turned 18. We’ll have video of our interviews with her, Meyer, Kruger, and Irons in the coming months — the movie, which is still shooting, isn’t hitting theaters until March 29, 2013, after all — but I can tell you how Ronan is differentiating the alien Wanderer from the internal voice of Melanie in the film. It’s actually quite simple: The Wanderer speaks with a generic American accent, whereas Melanie’s voice is inflected with a Louisiana twang, another Meyer-approved tweak from the book.

Stephenie Meyer Production Co. Options Movie Rights to DOWN A DARK HALL. Wyck Godfrey also in talks to produce.
Posted on 18. Apr, 2012 by lisa.
“Twilight” scribe Stephenie Meyer and Meghan Hibbett’s Fickle Fish Films have optioned young-adult suspense tome “Down a Dark Hall” by novelist Lois Duncan and will produce a feature-film adaptation.
Duncan’s 1974 novel revolves around Blackwood boarding school and its mysterious students. Ensnared in the chilling world is new student Kit Gordy, who must unravel Blackwood’s haunted and tragic history before it’s too late. “Twilight” producer Wyck Godfrey is also in talks to produce.
Meyer has taken on more film fare since her books became a global publishing and feature-film phenomenon. She recently produced and financed the Jerusha Hess-helmed “Austenland,” a romantic comedy about a woman who travels to a Jane Austen theme park to find her perfect man. That pic, starring Keri Russell and Jane Seymour, is in post-production but is not yet
slated for release.
Duncan has penned a number of novels that have made their way to the bigscreen, including “Hotel for Dogs” and “I Know What You Did Last Summer.”
Myman Abel Fineman Fox Greenspan Light reps Meyer. Deal for Duncan was made on behalf of Sterling Lord Literistic by Hotchkiss and Associates.

Q & A with Maggie Grace
Posted on 17. Apr, 2012 by amydod.
Maggie Grace discusses her upcoming films “Lockout”, “Taken 2″, and of course “Breaking Dawn 2″ with Next Movie.
Maggie Grace might not see herself as an action-movie heroine, but you wouldn’t know it by watching her opposite Guy Pearce in the new sci-fi thriller “Lockout.” The 28-year-old actress moved to Los Angeles from Ohio after her parents’ divorce and won accolades for her breakout role in the 2002 TV movie “Murder in Greenwich.” That led to more TV roles — including the part of Shannon Rutherford on “Lost” — and memorable appearances on the big screen as Liam Neeson’s kidnapped daughter in “Taken” and Irina the vampire in “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1.”
We sat down with Grace as she chatted candidly about the behind-the-scenes action on “Lockout,” her “Lost” finale reunion, her preparedness for “Twilight” mania and how she got the nickname “Maggie Graceless.”
What interested you in the role of Emilie, the president’s daughter who is held hostage in an orbiting space prison in “Lockout”? I love the dynamic between Emilie and Snow [Guy Pearce]. They have crazy one-liners and are jabbing each other the whole way through. There’s something so kick-ass about the title “Lockout,” too. I like it.
You are returning for “Taken 2″ with Liam Neeson. Are you taken … again? No! [laughs] It’s such an improbable thing to follow up with a sequel, right? People keep asking, “How do you get abducted again?” and saying “What a coincidence!” It’s very much a continuation of the situation in the first one, but the plot is inverted in that my parents are taken and my character has to help find a way to get them out. The moral of the story is still very much: Don’t mess with Liam Neeson. They kept the frantic pace of the first one and the tone. I just saw a little bit of it — this amazing car chase through Istanbul — that I think is going to be one of the big moments of the film. I’m really excited about it.
You’re a relative vampire newcomer to the “Twilight Saga.” What will Irina be up to in “Breaking Dawn – Part 2″? Well, I think Irina is true to the books. I think she’s largely misunderstood and a situational villain, but well intentioned. The “Twilight” fervor is still new to me — it’s kind of intimidating.

Ashley Greene chats with MTV News
Posted on 17. Apr, 2012 by amydod.
This is an exciting year for actress Ashley Greene. She just shot a pilot for ABC called “Americana,” which revolves around legendary fashion designer Robert Soulter. Greene plays Alice — coincidentally the same name as her “Twilight Saga” character — who joins Soulter’s business. Her film “Butter,” following a small town and their butter-carving contests, will be released in October.
Plus, she stars alongside Miley Cyrus in “LOL,” a remake of the 2008 French comedy — not to mention the highly anticipated final “Twilight” installment, “Breaking Dawn – Part 2,” in which she’ll reprise her role of Alice Cullen for the final time.
Before Greene dons the cropped locks and golden contacts, she’ll fight for her life to escape a supernatural presence alongside Sebastian Stan in this summer’s thrilling horror flick “The Apparition.”
For Summer Movie Preview Week, MTV News spoke with Greene about being haunted as opposed to haunting, the injuries she sustained on set and the scene she’s most looking forward to in “Breaking Dawn – Part 2.”
MTV News: What’s it like to be on the other side of the haunting in “The Apparition,” as opposed to playing the vampire?
Ashley Greene: I didn’t think of it like that, but you’re right! [My character] Kelly is very … human. Death is knocking at her door, and she is fighting for her survival. It was a different experience than playing an — almost — indestructible character like Alice Cullen. I had to take on a lot more loss, betrayal and vulnerability when playing Kelly.

Ashley Greene talks about her beauty blunders
Posted on 17. Apr, 2012 by amydod.
On the pitfalls of bronzer–and finally getting it right: The whole bronzy, glowy look, I think a lot of people have trouble with. I’m from Florida so I always had this tan, then I moved to California and basically haven’t seen the sun since because I learned how dangerous the sun’s rays are. It’s really bad to put bronzer all over your face; you get too dark of a shade. When the sun hits you, it usually hits your cheeks, the top of your nose and your forehead, not your entire face. I had to learn that.
And her other fool-proof beauty trick… I kind of follow the line of my brows and fill them in with a pencil or powder. That’s one of the big things I learned: your brows really frame your face. It draws the attention to your face. When I was younger I used to pluck them and wax them, and I don’t even know what I was thinking.
But like the rest of us, she’s had some regrettable hair moments My hair’s been every color under the sun, and some are good and some are bad. I think the biggest mistake I ever made was when one of my friends was like, ‘You should just iron your hair with an iron.’ It was not good at all. It was just stick-straight. I was probably around 14 when I did that; I did a lot of dumb things at 14. That was bad. I used to also scrunch my hair. I used entirely too much hair gel. It was highly flammable, extremely crunchy. I feel you like you could break it. It was not a good look for me.
