Great news from our friend the Twilight Examiner. We are that much closer to seeing the movie and she also complied all the updates into one great post. Enjoy!

So, there’ve only been a few meaty updates today, and that warrants a quick wrap-up of Twilight news to get you up to date and back to your day.

First things first. Yesterday, there was a bit of heat over a potential Brazil premiere for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1. The rumor was: the premiere for the film will take place in Rio de Janiero. As you know, parts of Breaking Dawn were filmed in different portions of Brazil (the honeymoon, namely), including the location chosen for Isle Esme. However, the reports were premature. That’s not saying a Brazil premiere is off the table, of course. For The Twilight Saga: New Moon, both Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner appeared in Brazil to promote the film, and the entire cast has been known to skip around the globe for various events (Berlin, Stockholm, Seoul, Paris, Sydney, and more- those are just off the top of my head). For The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, and others, there was an official London premiere for the film. Also Madrid. Point is, international events are common with this series, and given the particular importance of Brazil to Breaking Dawn – Part 1, it is reasonable to foresee one of these events taking place there. It has just not been confirmed yet, and it probably won’t be the big “world premiere” since that usually takes place in Los Angeles, California.

Moving along but sticking with the international theme – TIME Magazine has listed Robert Pattinson as one of the U.S.’s “Top British Invasions,” alongside The Beatles, Harry Potter, and a few others. Considering all of the British talent that has made its way to Hollywood, that’s quite a compliment.

On with Breaking Dawn, NessieMackenzie.com, a fansite devoted exclusively to “Renesmee,” Mackenzie Foy, and Breaking Dawn info, has been tracking the situation as to which other actresses will be asked to aide in the “Renesmee Situation” we discussed before. The names they’ve come across are Eliza Faria and Rachel St. Gelais. Read all about it here.

Meanwhile, on the wolfy side of things, QuileuteWolfPack.com has an interview with Mariel Belanger, the actress who portrayed “The Third Wife” in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. One of the portions I found interesting was the discussion of Kristen Stewart’s portrayal of the same character (discussed during the commentary she did with Robert Pattinson on the Eclipse DVD), which did not make the cut for the film.

I got to watch Kristen Stewart as she mimicked my performance for the morphing into Third Wife part. She was nice, introduced herself to me.

Check out the rest of the interview here, as she talks about the set of Eclipse from a fresh set of eyes as well as working with director David Slade.

Yes, that was a purposeful segue to more on David Slade. He’s confirmed himself to be helming an episode of Breaking Bad from AMC – the third episode, in fact, and he’s set to begin working on it within the coming few weeks.

And speaking of Twilight-related TV, Jackson Rathbone and his 100 Monkeys (his band) are going to be on Friday’s episode of The Seven at MTV, starting at 5:00 p.m. EST. A preview clip from that episode, as well as a video from the last appearance the band made on the show, can be found in the sidebar.

Finally, a new segment of Peter Facinelli’s on-carpet interview (from his time at the Golden Globe Awards earlier this week) with MTV has been revealed, and in it, Facinelli explained that the final scene from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 has already been filmed, and the reality of the moment was a bit “melancholy” for him and his co-stars. You can read the rest here.

UPDATE: Regarding that last bit, it’s a little confusing . . . the final (ending) scene from the movie has been shot, but production on other sequences from the films is still on-going. In other words, they’ve shot the ending somewhere in the middle and that bit has been done, but filming is far from over. Apologies for the confusion.

Singer/actor Jackson Rathbone is hoping for a musical start to 2011 by setting up his own record label.

The star rose to fame as a vampire in the hit Twilight movie franchise, but spends his time off moonlighting as a member of 100 Monkeys, a band he formed with four of his pals.

Rathbone reveals he’s planning a string of shows with the group next year.  He also aims to launch his own music company.

He tells Zooey magazine, “I’ll be working with my band 100 Monkeys and playing shows around the south as well as setting up other productions for the future of my new company PatchMo Entertainment. Also, I’m setting up a record label.”

So if there are others out there like me that failed at remember Jackson was one “No Ordinary Family” last night I have get a treat for you! BSC did a recap of the episode that I am putting up. It contains spoilers so know that before you click the “read more” button. For those of you that saw it: How do you think Jackson did?

Read full article.

If there’s one thing that could sell us on a 3D horror movie, it’s one of our favorite “Twilight Saga” actors’ pretty faces attached to it. Jackson Rathbone is ready to take another crack at the supernatural, according to Variety. A deal is being finalized for him to join “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” star Bill Nighy in an adaptation of the horror novel “Shadowland.”The story follows two boys who go to an all-male prep school in Arizona and form a friendship based on their mutual love for magic tricks. We assume Jackson would be playing one of those students, which leaves the second student role up for grabs. The two buds go to stay at the bizarre home of a weird magician uncle—sounds like Bill to us—and he trains them in illusions. The line between what is real and what is make-believe become blurred, and they end up in an alternate reality where they have to combat dark powers. Okay, so we’re pretty intrigued.

The flick will film in Ireland and the U.K., though we’re not quite sure how filmmakers are going to turn the grassy Great Britain countryside into something that looks like the Arizona desert. However, what we’re most interested in is who will play Jackson’s wingman.

We’re hoping for someone like “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World”’s Kieran Culkin or “Charlie Bartlett”’s Anton Yelchin. They both have quirky senses of humor, just like Jackson, but also display a deep acting sensibility. To be sure, Jackson deserves a costar who is going to push him beyond the range he’s been allowed to show in his previous films (sorry, “Last Airbender”).

For Jackson I would brave a 3D horror film. I hope he does get the part so we can see another side of him.

Indeed, the Twilight series boasts its fair share of good looking actors which in turn translates to even better looking vampires on-screen. Glamour Magazine tends to agree, naming several of the Twilight Saga’s movie vampires among their “31 Sexiest Movie Vampires” list.

The following characters made the cut:

31. “Alec” (by Cameron Bright)

29. “Victoria” (by Rachelle Lefevre and Bryce Dallas Howard)

27. “Demetri” (by Charlie Bewley)

25. “Alice Cullen” (by Ashley Greene)

24. “Carlisle Cullen” (by Peter Facinelli)

22. “Jasper Hale” (by Jackson Rathbone)

19. “Rosalie Hale” (by Nikki Reed)

17. “Caius” (by Jamie Campbell Bower)

10. “Riley Biers” (by Xavier Samuel)

4. “Emmett Cullen” (by Kellan Lutz)

1. “Edward Cullen” (by Robert Pattinson)

You can click the number links above to see the individual entries for each selection. Are there any other vampires from the Twilight series you would’ve chosen? I might’ve added “James” or “Laurent.” No doubt, after Breaking Dawn hits theaters, “Bella Cullen” will be making the list!

I know none of us are shocked about number one but I have very happy to see Riley so high on the list! All of our Cullen men made the the list so that is a total win in my book.

As reported in a previous post, Jackson Rathbone will be guest starring on ABC’s ‘No Ordinary Family’. It was previously reported the episode ‘No Ordinary Visitors’ would air Nov 2nd, but due to the primary elections, the episode has been pushed back a week to Nov 9th. So mark you calendars and set your DVR’s CBA Readers. I know I will!

Episode Synopsis:

NO ORDINARY FAMILY – “No Ordinary Visitors” – When Stephanie’s hard-to-please parents, Barbara (Cybill Shepherd) and Allan Crane, pay an unexpected visit, the Powells must curb the use of their powers for fear of giving away their secret. But Barbara and Allan begin to suspect that something’s awry when they witness some strange behavior. Meanwhile, when friend Trent Stafford (Jackson Rathbone, the “Twilight” movies) and his parents are the victims of a home invasion, Daphne uses her abilities to help Jim try to track down the thugs responsible for the violent act, on “No Ordinary Family,” TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 9 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

Oh, I think these pics may have just converted me to Team Jackson!

Here’s another video from the Eclipse secret footage promotion.

I LOVED the fight practice scene in Eclipse! So nice to see it in “slow-mo” and see the cast having a good time together!

I’ve got Breaking Dawn baby news for you!

Nope, none of the stars are expecting a new bundle of joy (at least not that we know of), but…

Jackson Rathbone tells me that the cast is very impressed by screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg’s treatment of the much-talked-about birthing scene in BD. “I think people are really really excited and surprised about how tastefully it can be done,” he said at Spike TV’s Scream Awards.

Nikki Reed echoed Rathbone’s enthusiasm. “It’s intense,” she said. “It’s really intense.

“I play a pivotal role in this because this is what Rosalie has always wanted, you know what I mean?” she continued. “So, I’m working really hard. I’m with my acting coach every day…Like three hours a day, I’m with her. I really care about this and I want it to be good.”

Although they’ll be shooting both BD movies until next spring, Rathbone and Reed know that saying goodbye when they wrap won’t be easy. “I’ve had an amazing time working with the cast and you know, the fans have been incredible and they’ve been so supportive of all us,” Rathbone said. “It’s going to be sad.”

“It’s not ending for a long time,” Reed said with a big smile. “But I’m going to be sad and here’s why: I’m working with really great people, people that I love. I’ve worked with some really talented directors. I’ve traveled all over the world with the series.”

I know some of this is repeat but I would rather be safe and not miss anything.
