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.

Twilight gets the most Screams is a post from: Cullen Boys Anonymous

Every now and then a British indie gets my pulse racing thanks to a trailer that promises the perfect combination of eye-widening thrills, sexy foreign faces and a killer concept. Rupert Grint’s “Cherrybomb” and Alex Pettyfer’s “Tormented” are great examples of this — as is “The Loved Ones,” starring hottie of the moment Xavier Samuel (”Eclipse”).

In this younger, seemingly more twisted take on “Misery,” Xavier plays Brent — a decent guy (the trailer and his grunge-y locks don’t make him seem like king of the castle) who accidentally draws the eye of Lola, a terribly unhinged classmate with an even more disturbed daddy.

Although I wish the trailer didn’t give so much away, I can’t help but think this prom night-set thriller could finally take the shine off school dance’s one and for all.

The Twilight Crew Talk Twilight, Surprisingly; We speak to the cast and crew of Eclipse… is a post from: Cullen Boys Anonymous

It was important to Eclipse director David Slade that Taylor Lautner actually film that scene with Kristen Stewart so she was able to establish eye contact with him instead of with a golf ball that could’ve been used as an eyeline and painted out later. The wardrobe department dressed Lautner in a neutral grey leotard and hoodie — primarily so his skin tone wouldn’t bounce back onto Stewart and create lighting issues when Wolf Jacob was added, Tippett says. We, however, like to believe someone was already thinking about the DVD extras. That will be great, won’t it?

The tender moment was made more challenging by the fact that Slade had a different vision of the wolves than New Moon director Chris Weitz. For starters, Weitz wanted the wolves to have their actor’s eyes. “He kind of wanted the performance to feel like the wolf behavior was being filtered through a human brain,” Tippett says. Slade wanted the wolves to have wolf eyes to de-anthropomorphize them. “David wanted the performances to be more feral, twitchy, and agitated. He wanted to see wolves that were more photographically representational, which had to do with things like getting more hair follicles, making the paws smaller.”

The believability of the wolves was equally crucial in the climactic fight sequence with the newborn vampire army. “We had to come up with a rationale for what happens when a 1,300-pound wolf that’s running 35 miles an hour crashes into a newborn vampire [played by an actor that weighs 165 lbs], how we justify that,” Tippett says. “David allowed us the transgression of saying, ‘Well, let’s just say that the newborns, since they’re not made of human material but some kind of a more marble-like material, have an actual mass of something like 500 pounds, so they have a lower center of gravity.’ And that allowed us to begin thinking about how to make all of that palpable, without thinking that they’re existing in two different physical universes.” Watch a clip of how that action gets put together below.

‘Eclipse’: Behind the new and improved wolves is a post from: Cullen Boys Anonymous

“It’s kind of strange because you send them off into oblivion and you don’t know if anyone watches them,” says Samuel, 26.

That was last year.

Fast-forward to the Eclipse premiere, where thousands of fans are not only screaming but are screaming for him. “It’s kind of 360 degrees of hysteria,” Samuel says just hours before the Los Angeles premiere of the third film installment of Stephenie Meyer’s blockbuster series. “The sound (of Twilight’s fans) does really knock you off your feet.”

Samuel steals not only the first five minutes of one of most anticipated movies of the summer, but much of its finale. He plays newborn vampire Riley Biers, who, alongside vengeful vamp Victoria, leads a bloodthirsty army of young vampires with one goal: killing human Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and those who protect her.

Hailing from Adelaide, he now joins Hollywood’s short list of hot young Aussie men in the spotlight, including brothers Chris Hemsworth (Star Trek) and Liam Hemsworth (The Last Song), and Sam Worthington (Avatar).

There was only one problem en route to the Eclipse set.

“I was going through the book going, where’s Riley?” says Samuel, whose character gets a major upgrade in the screenplay version of Eclipse. But director David Slade slipped him an early top-secret copy of Meyer’s recent novella, The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner, in which Riley and Victoria’s relationship is more deeply explained.

Joining the ranks of Robert Pattinson, Stewart and Taylor Lautner, “I ought to feel ostracized, but everyone was wonderfully down to earth,” says Samuel, who found battling a CGI werewolf in the wilds of Canada more challenging than making friends. “You’re just working with a piece of fur on the end of a stick just kind of poking you,” he says with a laugh.

The son of parents who teach history and English, the dry-humored Samuel, whose younger brother Benedict is finishing up acting school and whose sister Bridget is an opera stage manager, cut his teeth playing Hamlet in college, later appearing in a smattering of movies on the film festival circuit, including Newcastle, September and The Loved Ones.

Mom Maree now keeps tabs on his Google status (a quick search for her son’s name snags upward of 900,000 hits). “She’s kind of made it her mission to monitor the info on me on the Internet, which is an impossible task,” he says.

That includes the rumor that Samuel ditched his supposed band to follow his film career. “Completely untrue,” he says, though he did tote his acoustic guitar to Vancouver to relax between shoots and workouts. “I don’t have a burning ambition to be a rock star or anything,” he says, instead listing other musical favorites: The National, the Very Best and the Magnetic Fields.

Fellow Eclipse newcomer Bryce Dallas Howard, 29, (who takes over the role of Victoria from Rachelle LeFevre) seduces young Riley in the film.

In real life, Samuel calls the two especially good friends. “She’s so professional and she works harder than anyone I’ve ever met in my life,” he says of Howard, who even offered the temporarily homeless actor her couch in L.A. once filming wrapped.

Samuel spent two weeks hanging out with Howard’s young family, “really wonderful people,” he says of her husband, Seth Gabel, and their young son, Theo. Although he’s now renting in West Hollywood, he recently attended Theo’s third birthday party and noshed on barbecue with Bryce’s rather famous father, director Ron Howard.

Did he schmooze his way into a film? “I don’t know if I’d be so lucky,” he quips. “I haven’t really broached the subject with Ron yet.”

Famous friends aside, navigating a new career post-franchise can be tricky (read: Megan Fox), but so far, Samuel is taking the offers as they come, having just returned from shooting historical thriller Anonymous in Berlin, which decodes the true author of Shakespeare’s works.

“I went from playing an evil vampire to an Elizabethan aristocrat, which is a great thing to do,” he says.

And now? “I don’t have a plan of action,” he says. “I just want an experience that challenges me as an actor and pushes me to get better.”

‘Eclipse’ spawns a new star in Xavier Samuel is a post from: Cullen Boys Anonymous

This weekend, the cast of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse was very, very busy jet-setting across the country to visit local cinema showings of the film.

Slowly, the cities and specific locations for the appearances were revealed, but the castmembers making appearances for the events were kept a secret for the most part.

The appearances took place on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

On Friday, the cities whose fans got to see the cast were Chicago (Julia Jones), Kansas City (Gil Birmingham), Las Vegas (Kiowa Gordon), Los Angeles (Dakota Fanning), Minneapolis (Charlie Bewley), Nashville (Tinsel Korey), Orange County (Justin Chon), Vancouver (Tyson Houseman), and Washington, D.C (Christian Serratos).

You can see a photo of and mini-interview with Julia Jones in Chicago here. Meanwhile, Gil Birmingham’s Facebook page has its own set of photos from his appearance, and a local news station (KMBC) interviewed Birmingham from the event. Photos from Gordon’s appearance in Las Vegas can be found here and here, and Tinsel Korey tweeted about her showing in Nashville (Christian Serratos did the same for her appearance in D.C.). More on Houseman’s appearance in Vancouver can be found here, and the O.C. Register has quite a few photos of Justin Chon in Orange County here.

Xavier Samuel Fix is a post from: Cullen Boys Anonymous

Xavier Samuel is profiled in the June/July issue of Interview Magazine.  Bryce Dallas Howard conducted the interview. Go here to see the entire article and more pictures.

HOWARD: When we were shooting Eclipse, it was amazing for me to see how the girls all went berserk over you. These girls were totally losing their minds—and much like everyone else in the cast who experiences those sorts of things, you dealt with it really graciously and wonderfully. Were you at all startled by that?

SAMUEL: I mean, it’s kind of bizarre, isn’t it? Having that kind of attention. I’m not under the microscope in the same fashion that a lot of the other cast members are, so I think I can slide under the radar a little bit more, but getting any attention at all is completely new for me.

HOWARD: Well, it’s been interesting to see how these young women have responded to you and your hair and your accent.

SAMUEL: My hair and my accent are sort of my main assets.

GQ interviewed Riley, Xavier Samuel, on the phone about his role in Eclipse. Here is a portion of the interview:

Were you a fan of the Twilight series? Tell the truth.
I watched the first film on the plane, on the way over to Vancouver. Then I went straight to the bookstore.

Funny. You play Riley, a hungry newborn vampire out on a rampage. Full disclosure: I read the book, and Riley’s only on one page.
Yes, I was flipping through the book, thinking: Where’s Riley? He’s whittled down to one line. But in the film, we venture into the world of Riley and watch him assembling this newborn army. It’s more action-packed. And it gives me something more to do, thankfully.

Do you get to inflict much damage on the world?
There was no neck biting. I threw a vampire off of a burning car. I also threw a massive log with one hand. The log was attached to a hydraulic system. It made me look really strong.

Hollywood Dailies: Kellan Lutz Twitters and Riley Kisses Victoria is a post from: Cullen Boys Anonymous

Elle Magazine had an interview with Xavier Samuel and got a few fun tidbits (kissing Bryce Howard)  and some background info on the man who would be Riley. Wonder if we’ll see much of him today in the Eclipse Trailer?

WHO: Xavier Samuel

AGE: 26

HOMETOWN: Adelaide, Australia

BONA FIDES: A 2005 graduate of Flinders University Drama Centre program in Adelaide (taking on Hamlet at his graduate performance); a major role in Australian films every year since.

WHY NOW: He’s been newly minted as the “hot” vampire in the wildly popular Twilight franchise, making his debut in its third installment, Eclipse, due out this summer. Rumored to have beaten out Channing Tatum and Harry Potter actor Tom Felton, Samuel landed the role of Riley, right-hand vampire to Bryce Dallas Howard ’s villainess, Victoria. “He’s essentially a tragic character,” Samuel says. “[Director] David Slade and I talked a lot about conveying how complex he is—he’s harboring extreme jealousy and hatred for humanity because that’s exactly what he’s been deprived of.”

WHY HE’LL LAST: Samuel’s compulsively watchable performances in Australian movies such as 2008’s Newcastle (he played a nottotally- out-of-the-closet Goth teenager struggling to find his place in a clique of hard-core surf junkies) are in part a product of working on small-budget sets filming at breakneck paces. “Most of the Australian films I’ve worked on shot for five weeks max, and a second take was a luxury. It taught me to be prepared and focused from the beginning.”

BUT IS HE READY FOR TWILIGHT-LEVEL FAME? “I haven’t quite got my hands on any brochure that says, ‘In the event that you become insanely famous, what do you do?’ But I think I can take a leaf from Rob and Kristen’s book. They’ve done a good job keeping their wits in the whirlwind of it all but also letting it get them where they want to be future-role-wise.”

PROOF HE REALLY DOES DO HIS HOMEWORK: Photos leaked on the Internet of Samuel and Howard filming their highly anticipated kissing scene, one they aptly prepped for. “Bryce and I watched YouTube clips of the best kisses in cinematic history for research,” he says. Yes, but how did he get on with the practicing? “What happens in the rehearsal room stays in the rehearsal room.”

Young Aussie actor Xavier Samuel is getting a lot of attention these days, first in the award-winning Aussie horror film “The Loved Ones”, and coming up in the third of the “Twilight” films, “Eclipse”.

In “Eclipse”, directed by David Slade (”30 Days of Night”), the 25-year-old actor plays Riley, a good-looking college student who joins the plot of villain Victoria (Bryce Dallas-Howard) to murder protagonist Bella (Kristen Stewart).

Moviehole had the chance to quickly discuss the film with Xavier.

Question: Did you know anything about that particular franchise?

Samuel: To be honest, not really. Like, I watched the film on the plane. And at that stage, I hadn’t read the books, but I have now. I knew very little about it. I knew that it was extremely popular, and people kind of go crazy for it.

Question: Crazy is an understatement.

Samuel: Yeah. Like, you know, this notion of eternal love, and danger, and – you know, the thing that you love could kill you – that sort of stuff is, like – I guess it’s intoxicating for a lot of people.

Question: And you play a vampire in Eclipse?

Samuel: Newborn vampire.

Question: A newborn vampire. Do you do any research on something like this?

Samuel: Sleep in coffins at night, and stuff like that?

Question: Or look at classic horror films that explored vampire culture.

Samuel: I think that I’ve resisted that temptation, because the vampires, in Twilight, are very different. I think there’s a crucial element to portraying something like that is retaining some sort of humanity, and if you can do that, then hopefully it can work, in less of a stereotypical, clichéd kind of way.

Last night the Twilight Eclipse crew was back to work shooting under a bridge a “Seattle” scene with Bryce Dallas Howard and Xavier Samuel as “Victoria and Riley”. Victoria seduces Riley so that he’ll carry out her orders to make new vampires. As you can see, they’ve wigged out Bryce’s hair to resemble Rachelle Lefevre’s.
