Jamie Campbell Bower and Bonnie Wright

Jamie Campbell Bower (now officially engaged to Harry Potter‘s Bonnie Wright) talked to Sugarscape about the Volturi in Breaking Dawn and said that “you get to see how screwed up we are. That was great fun to play, just screw about on set and do as much as possible and be theatrical. Well, [director] Bill Condon, he brings something wonderful and a sort of theatricalness to the whole film.” [sugarscape.com]

Carlisle Cullen in Rolling Stone magazine

Peter Facinelli responded via Twitter with good humor after Rolling Stone named him the worst TV and film vampire of all time:

YES! I finally came in Number 1 in something!

….Thank you Mr. Travers. As Carlisle is a compassionate humanitarian, and anti-vampire in nature, being the worst Vampire was quite the compliment. Although, you had me at “solid actor”. :) I did find the comparison to Austin Scarlett utterly ridiculous though … He has way better cheek bones.

Entertainment Weekly's Sexiest Beast

Entertainment Weekly has been having a competition on their website: who is the sexiest beast? The final battle came down to Edward Cullen and Damon Salvatore (of The Vampire Diaries)… Damon Salvatore won, but only by 3,902 votes! Personally, I would have chosen Alcide from True Blood, but I seem to have a thing for werewolves lately.

And finally, vampires have been responsible for $7 billion spent in earned in Hollywood since November 2008 (yes, when Twilight opened in theaters). With parody Vampire Sucks doing great, True Blood having obsessive fans (including me!) and the second season of the very popular The Vampire Diaries about to start, this number is going to grow and grow. By the time Breaking Dawn Part 2 comes out on DVD, vampires will probably be able to pay off the national deficit.

Vampires Suck, Summit Sucks, Crossovers, Casting and Ashley Greene

July 28th, 2010

Opening August 18th, here’s the poster for the vampire spoof movie Vampires Suck:

Vampires Suck

First Summit Entertainment sued fashion designer BB Dakota over the “Bella” jacket. Now they’ve sued production company Topics over a documentary called Forks: Bitten by Twilight. Summit won and Topics will not be distributing the film, plus they’re sending all copies to Summit to be destroyed. Boo. Hiss.

There’s going to be a bit of crossover in the upcoming movie Red Riding Hood. It’s being directed by Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke and Billy Burke is part of the cast. The wolf will be a werewolf.

Lee Pace

Lee Pace of Pushing Daisies is rumored to be in the running for the role of Garrett in Breaking Dawn.

Ashley Greene

And in random Ashley Greene news, she went to the grocery store, is house-hunting and had another “date” with Joe Jonas.

Kellan Lutz

Also, Kellan Lutz is hawt. You’re welcome.

Kellan Lutz
