Twilight Thursdays! Vol. 2, Issue 16

A bit of a Breaking Dawn news shortage this week, don’t despair about the quantity; the quality is top notch!
 
 
What is Kellan’s favorite scene in Breaking Dawn? The arm wrestling of course!
 
 
Gus Van Sant tells the story of the Breaking Dawn Director race!
 
 
Sheen talks about what fans can expect from Breaking Dawn
 
 
What will the end of the Twilight Saga feel like for Ashley Greene? What a lot of fans are going through right now: graduation!
 
Ashley Greene (aka Alice Cullen) talked with MTV promoting her new film Skateland which opened in US theaters on May 13th.   Ashley talked about working with director Bill Condon on Breaking Dawn and preparing to say goodbye to her Twilight castmates.
 
“It’s fun to go to work every day, but it’s kind of bittersweet,” she said. “It’s sad, because I feel like it’s high school or something. We’ve been doing it for so long.”
Yet Greene considers it a boon to have worked with director Bill Condon on the final installments. “Working with Bill Condon makes it kind of the cherry on top, because he’s so excited and he’s incredible at what he does,” she enthused.
 
And, lest we forget, the two-part “Breaking Dawn” will roll out over the next couple of years, giving the cast plenty of opportunities to see each other, even as stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner continue to book high-profile projects.
“For two years, we’re going to have these movies coming out and press tours and all that stuff, and premieres. So the nice thing about that is that we know we are going to see each other over the next two years. It’s not as hard to finish out the franchise.”
No need for tearful goodbyes just yet, it seems. {MTV}

TwiFUN Time 
If you remember last year, Rob recorded a few songs with Songs from a Room
 
“Here is an extended, high quality clip of Robert Pattinson’s impromptu performance at Songs from a Room in London earlier this year.…
 
Songs From a Room is an innovative concept, dedicated to bringing the best of new music to an unusual space or venue. Mix in a crowd of dedicated music lovers, other artists, and industry professionals and you have an evening which promises electric performances and new networks.”

What does it mean to win “Best Kiss”? Rob knows…
 
 
Forbes has released their list of the 100 Most Powerful Celebrities; an annual ranking of the richest and most powerful celebrities in the world. And you’ll never guess who made it!
 
Robert Pattinson #53
With the end of the Twilight franchise in sight, Pattinson is preparing himself
for a post-vampire career. The romance Remember Me earned only $56 million but that’s not bad considering the film had a tiny budget of $16 million. Water for
Elephants
, costarring Reese Witherspoon, also performed decently at the box
office proving that audiences are willing to accept Pattinson as more than an
undead heartthrob.

Kristen Stewart #63
Stewart's non-Twilight career hasn't been as successful as her costar Robert
Pattinson's so far. Her 2010 film The Runaways grossed only $4.6 million at the
global box office. But the two-part Breaking Dawn should bring her enough money
to play around with different roles while looking for her next big hit. Stewart
is attached to one of two Snow White projects currently in development.
 
Stephenie Meyer #90
Like Harry Potter creator JK Rowling, Stephenie Meyer had never published a
piece of fiction before she wrote Twilight in 2003, at age 29. She has said the
idea for the vampire love story came to her in a dream. The three Twilight films
have grossed $1.8 billion at the global box office. Two more are on the way, as
well as an adaptation of her science fiction novel The Host starring Saiorse
Ronan.
