Kellan’s movie Nightmare on Elm Street is expected to open big! It’s already expected to break midnight record sales for previous horror movies.
Deadline is reporting that New Line/Warner Bros reimagining of A Nightmare On Elm Street (review #1, #2, your reviews) debuted to $1.6 million from Thursday midnight shows in about 1,000 theaters. That’s way more than the previous record for a horror flick: the February 2009 rebooted Friday The 13th’s $1 million. In addition, Nightmare opens in 3,332 locations and their sources tell them that right now the Friday domestic grosses look like a whopping $15M to $17M. So that’s a $40+M opening weekend for sure.

Our new director in the Twilight Saga, Mr.Bill Condon has posted a message for fans on the official Twilight Facebook.
Greetings Twihards, Twifans, Twilight Moms, Team Edward, Team Jacob and Team Switzerland,
I just want to say hello to all of you and let you know that I’m stoked to be getting underway on the adventure of making BREAKING DAWN. As you’ve probably heard, I’ve been given a very warm welcome by Stephenie and Team Summit – who are super-focused, as you know, on getting these movies right.
I’m pretty busy bringing myself up to speed on what you already know by heart: I’ve read BREAKING DAWN twice, rewatched Catherine’s and Chris’s movies 2-3 times each, have all four CDs playing in my car, and have Catherine’s notebook, Mark Cotta Vaz’s companion books, and even Volume 1 of the graphic novel here on my desk – a corner of my office is starting to look like Hot Topic. I realize that this barely qualifies me for “newborn” status in the universe you’ve been living inside for a few years now, but a guy’s gotta start somewhere.
Like many of you, I’ve always been slightly obsessed with vampires, dating back to the prime-time series DARK SHADOWS, which I followed avidly as a kid. But that alone hadn’t been enough to get me interested in making a vampire movie, even though my early screenwriting and directing efforts grew out of a great love for horror movies and thrillers. Since making GODS AND MONSTERS thirteen years ago, however, I’ve been yearning for a return to a story with Gothic overtones.
The wonderful world that Stephenie has created has obviously struck a chord with you, and I don’t think it’s difficult to see why. For me, her characters are simultaneously timeless, yet very modern. Rooted in a beautiful, real landscape with a great sense of place, Bella, Edward, Jacob, and the rest of the Forks/La Push menagerie, experience emotions that are primal, and universal: desire, despair, jealousy – and it all comes to fruition in BREAKING DAWN. This is a final chapter in the best sense; not just wide in scope and scale, but emotionally charged and intense throughout.
I’m a huge admirer of the already-iconic Kristen, Robert, and Taylor, and wanted to be the one to work with them as they face the challenges of bringing your beloved characters to the end of their journeys. Really, what could be more fun than that?
Please feel free to ask questions in the comments section below, and I’ll do my best to answer them. I hope that this will be the first of many occasions I’ll get to check in with you as we set to work bringing BREAKING DAWN to the screen. I am excited and grateful to have all of you alongside me for my TWILIGHT journey.
All best,
Bill Condon
P.S. Answer #1: No, there won’t be any musical numbers

Once again, welcome to the fandom Mr. Condon! We hope you don’t find us too overwhelming at times; it’s just how passionate the fans are about the saga.

Gossip Cop has a message from a representative of Summit regarding the Eclipse reshoots that are taking place in Vancouver at the moment. There’s been tons of gossip, speculation and doubts from the fans who are worried that the movie might not be going very well.
Over the last few hours, whispers of unrest have emanated from the Vancouver set where Eclipse is filming pick-ups.
Robert Pattinson arrived in the Pacific Northwest a couple of days ago to participate. When he wasn’t in front of the cameras immediately after stepping off the plane, many outlets freaked.
Some even suggested a rift between Pattinson and director David Slade, and that the actor was refusing to be cooperative.
This simply is not the case.
As we speak, Pattinson is on the set filming, a source on the scene confirms to Gossip Cop.“There are absolutely no problems,” a rep for Summit tells Gossip Cop, adding, “Today is the first day of shooting for Robert Pattinson.”
The pick-ups are underway, as scheduled, and speculation about problems should be curbed in favor of facts.
Best of luck to the cast and crew. Hopefully they are not feeling too pressured, knowing this fandom! I think we just need to be a little patient.

One more time we have to post a warning for all the fans that are interested in auditioning for the Twilight films. There’s another casting scam for Breaking Dawn, according to the Casting Scoop. Now that we finally have a director for Breaking Dawn, expect the number of Breaking Dawn scams to soar, as well as the persistence of the scammers.
Most recently, we took issue with the unscrupulous companies that advertise casting calls for Breaking Dawn (the final installment of the Twilight saga) on the Internet or via email.
After luring victims to create a web profile on a so-called “casting website,” they inform them that they can only find out about Breaking Dawn auditions if they upgrade to a paid subscription. Of course, the auditions are bogus, as no casting director has been hired yet to cast the film, and if she were, she wouldn’t advertise auditions on a paid website. Instead, she would find established, experienced actors through bona fide SAG-franchised talent agencies.
Don’t be fooled and be careful with your money! These casting scams know how to take people’s money and time with pointless auditions and “talent showcases”. If you truly want to pursue an acting career, inform yourself better and find legitimate casting agencies.
Here are some final tips from The casting Scoop:
# Breaking Dawn is not casting yet.
The film doesn’t go into production until the fall. No casting director has even been hired.
# Auditions for Breaking Dawn will not take place anywhere where classes are offered, nor will they take place in Calgary.
The film is likely shooting in Vancouver, BC. A real casting company, not an acting and modeling school located in a shopping mall, will be hired to cast the actors.
NOTE: Anytime a company that offers classes or photo portfolios also promotes itself as a talent agency or talent management company: Beware. Real industry professionals know that it is a conflict of interest to do both.
I recommend you guys read this entire page. It contains very useful information for those hopeful fans.

MTV put together a list of the best soundtrack to look forward to in this summer’s movies, and so surprise, the soundtrack for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is one of them!
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse Soundtrack: As we first reported, the summer’s most-anticipated ‘track is due June 8, but already, speculation is running rampant about just who will appear on it. Will Muse make it three-for-three? Will Adam Lambert score a spot? Or will music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas opt to go the more indie route, like she did with the soundtrack to “New Moon”? With a platinum-plus pedigree behind it, all eyes (and ears) will certainly be on the “Eclipse” album to continue the trend.
We still don’t know the artists that will be part of this compilation, but I do remember reading singer’s Sia’s Twitter last year (@Sia) where she mentioned working in a new song for the movie. Also, Jackson’s band 100 Monkeys have been hoping for a spot in the soundtrack for quite a while. Let’s wait and see.

The LA Times spoke with the cast of Eclipse. Here are some of their quotes.
Ashley Greene (as Alice Cullen): “Yeah, she’s delicate and prissy at times, but Alice gets a little edgier with each installment. And with these vampires messing with her family and the people she loves, you’re going to see a bit of her toughness. It’s a reminder to the audience that even though we restrain ourselves at times, we’re still vampires and we’re dangerous. You’re going to see the dark, dangerous side of Alice.”
Kellan Lutz (as Emmett Cullen): “You’re going to see a smile on Emmett’s face from start to finish. He just loves to fight. And there’s a lot of fighting. He sort of plays bigger in this one than the others.”Jackson Rathbone (as Jasper Hale): “You’ll get to see a little bit of the root of what makes Jasper so withdrawn and quiet in the Cullen family. Fans will get some of Jasper’s back story in ‘Eclipse.’ I got to wear the whole Civil War gear and everything. There’s a bit of the softer and darker side of Jasper in this film.”
Nikki Reed (as Rosalie Hale): “You see a reason for her attitude. I think fans will feel for her. There was a bit of that in ‘New Moon.’ Fans got to see a bit of her sensitive side. Her sane side. Her logical side. And her desire to help her family. This time around, she is much more of a participant. She’s a survivor. This is her family. So if protecting Bella means protecting her family, she’s going to do it.”
Robert Pattinson (as Edward Cullen): Snagging a phone interview with the brooding dreamboat — who was overseas shooting his latest film, “Bel Ami” — proved difficult. So what can we expect from the lovesick Edward? He promises to love Bella “every moment of forever,” as the trailer reveals. He’s still hesitant about her becoming a vampire. He’s determined to protect her from Victoria. And he’s vying with Jacob for her affections. Oh, the life of an antique teenage vampire.

Fandango.com had a poll where fans voted for their most anticipated villain of all summer movies, including The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Bryce Dallas Howard as Victoria won the poll!
On the villain side of things…I mean, c’mon – is there anyone we despise more than Bryce Dallas Howard’s Victoria in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse? This is Howard’s first go at the role (the character was previously played by Rachelle Lefevre in both New Moon and Twilight), and so fans will need to warm up (or down) to her. That said, even with Howard taking over the role for the first time, fans are still more than pumped to see her run all sorts of naughty deeds with the character.
