During the slower times, these Twilight news wraps seem both appropriate and convenient. So, here's the latest in Twilight news.

For starters, Peter Facinelli ("Carlisle Cullen" in the Twilight series) announced that the film he wrote, Accidentally In Love, which stars his wife Jennie Garth, will be hitting the Hallmark Channel on February 12th at 9:00 p.m. EST. You might recall that the film was originally titled Mulligan, and Jennie Garth posted an on-set photo from filming of the movie over the summer. Here's the movie's full description:
Eddie James, a disgruntled actor who wants to do more than play "Mulligan the Rabbit" on a children's TV show, discovers life can change in a heartbeat when he accidentally gets into a car accident with single mother Annie Baker. In the unexpected friendship that develops between them, Eddie tries to help Annie's nearly-blind daughter Taylor get an operation to restore her sight.
You can find out more about it here. In the video below, Peter Facinelli has issued a special message about his hopes to see a new movie, Bo, come to be. He also talked a bit about how this relates to his recent production, Loosies.



Similarly in the way of penmanship, Catherine Hardwicke (the director of Twilight), as you know, is preparing for the March 11th release of her new film Red Riding Hood. And the film isn't the only thing Hardwicke is responsible for with it, either. She's also written an introduction to a new film tie-in novel version of Red Riding Hood (which is being released by Twilight publisher Little, Brown Books), and she recently spoke with Entertainment Weekly about that venture (remember, Catherine Hardwicke was the only Twilight director so far to release her own director's notebook from filming in addition to the Official Illustrated Companion). You can see the interview here.

Also of interest is an interview with Shiloh Fernandez, one of Hardwicke's top four choices for "Edward" and star of Red Riding Hood, in which he talked about the one that got away - i.e., the Twilight series.
"No one had any idea what 'Twilight' would become . . . At the time, it was just another audition. I didn't realize I was missing out on stardom and giant paychecks . . . Now, looking back on it, I certainly wouldn't have been mentally stable enough to deal with all that.  Lucky for me, not getting that part led to other work that was a much better fit for me."
Read the whole thing here.

Moving on, there was a story in Reuters which discussed an all but unrecognizably beaten to death topic - that there is, shocker, a vampire craze going on related to Twilight, True Blood, and the like. The difference between this one and others is that it's not using vampire mania as an excuse for teenage behavior. Instead, it's turning the spotlight on adults who literally believe they are vampires.
"They call it feeding," said Williams, who also moonlights as an FBI consultant for investigations involving violent criminals who are claiming to be vampires.
Now, that's something. Read the rest here.

On to a slightly less disturbing topic . . . or maybe just as disturbing. While at Sundance, in the attached MTV video, Judd Nelson from The Breakfast Club issued his high praise of Dakota Fanning ("Jane" in the Twilight series). He seems to believe, as many do, that she's among the most talented actresses in Hollywood.
And speaking of talent and praise, Entertainment Weekly has just issued another edition of its 25 Hottest Stars who are 25 and Under, and, surprise surprise, some of the Twilight cast is on it. Included are Robert Pattinson ("Edward Cullen" in the Twilight series), Dakota Fanning, and Taylor Lautner ("Jacob Black"). While we're on the subject, be sure to vote in the Virgin Media Movie Awards for Kristen Stewart and for Robert Pattinson, and also weigh in on iVillage's entertainment awards as well.

Speaking of Kristen Stewart, Moviefone reports that she's in the running to portray Snow White in Snow White And The Huntsman.
Universal Studios have been developing the production of Snow White and the Huntsman for some time and were initially thought to have wanted a lower profile actress in the lead. After screen testing the likes of Riley Keogh (Elvis Presley's granddaughter), it seems that Stewart is close to getting the part . . . This new Snow White movie will apparently focus more on the kind hearted huntsman, who is hired by the queen to go into the woods and kill Snow White. There has been no mention of whether the film will resurrect the dormant careers of the seven dwarves.
What do you think of that for a next step for Kristen Stewart? It's not confirmed, by any means, but it is interesting . . .

Finally, there are a few (yes, yes) The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn upates to attend to.
First of all, even more discussion of the wedding has come about, but my response to that remains the same: maybe. There's no way to know at this time absent photographs, cast tweets, or something similar.
Second, and finally, NessieMackenzie.com has some on-set information, including a bit about how Robert Pattinson has been teaching Mackenzie Foy a few new words.
