American Actor Taylor Lautner, co-protagonsit of the Twilight saga, will travel to Mexico on the 30th of this month, where he will remain for two days to promote his film Abduction (No escape, in its Spanish version). The film, directed by John Singleton, who was nominated for the Oscar for best direction and best original screenplay for the 1991 film Boyz n the Hood, will be released in Mexico on September 30th, a month after his visit. The film includes the participation of British-American actress Lily Collins, daughter of musician Phil Collins, as well as the experience of Alfred Molina and Sigourney Weaver. Taylor Lautner, who shot to fame for his role in the film version of the Twilight series author Stephenie Meyer of where he portrayed "Jacob Black", will be in Mexico for two days. Before this film success, Lautner played roles as an extra in several television series, up until 2008 when he was chosen for the role of the "werewolf." Heart Films is the production house responsible for taking Lautner and his new movie to Mexico, which also took the Twilight saga to this country.

Reuters: The Impact of Vampires on Pop Culture

Thanks to our Elite affiliate Twilight Lexicon for bringing us this tip!!

Starting the day off with what should be a good discussion, Reuters takes a look at how vampire books and movies have impacted our culture, especially for teens today. The discussion started after a man broke into a woman’s house this weekend and claimed to be a 500 year old vampire. Reuters talks to Anne Rice, who gave us my first vampire crush, Lestat, and even mentions the RPG Vampire, the Masquerade.

But no look at vampires in pop culture would be complete without a mention of Twilight. Dr. Thomas Garza, who teaches what sounds like a fascinating class on vampire lore at the University of Texas, had this to say about our favorite vampires:

“I would say that it is the Twilight saga in particular that has brought out the younger teen fans. In that connection, Edward is a very ‘safe’ vampire, a kind of ‘starter vamp’ for beginners, if you will,” Garza said.

“He’s pretty, yes, so the seduction’s there, but he’s more than reluctant to act on his and Bella’s sexual desires. He can go out in daylight – and even ‘sparkles’ in the sun, giving him a completely non-threatening character. He drives a Volvo, for goodness sake.”

So what do you think? How do you think vampires have effected pop culture and the lives of teens today? Tell us your thoughts in the comments!

Gil Birmingham Q & A Live Blog Boston Convention 2011

Thanks to our Elite Affiliate Twilight Lexicon for bringing us this tip!!

Gill will be out in a second

The crowd is uber excited to see Gil

He is doing a film in the Danvers area locally

It’s called Crooked Arrows with Brandon Routh of superman and Chuck fame

Gil just gave major props to Hillywood

Gil jokes he’s doing Billy Black Twilight Saga Part 6 My Unknown powers revealed

He will have a 300 type film in the works

Rango is the closest gig he’s ever had to Twilight as far as a similar genre because it’s fantasy

He thought Rango was amazing fun. They would act out the sequences as they are recording.

His creepiest fan experience, he doesn’t have one knock wood fans have been great with him

Acting in a wheel chair is a challenge he has a lot of respect for people who have no choice but to use one daily. He enjoyed the parody Vampires Suck where his character flew over people.

It was fun back in the day when he was a Conan lookalike at Universal. Best part was taking photos with young kids who were totally into it

A favorite actress is he doesn’t really have just one. Is impressed with a lot of up in coming young talent.

He loved the lizard in Rango and just did a dead-on impression. real animals he loves white tigers

Gil jokes “Taylor who”

Gil says there’s been such a transformation with Taylor from the young kid on Twilight to where he is now. But thinks he’s still a down to earth and realistic person.

Gil misses the days of Twilight when they were all more anonymous and could all go out to dinner without lots following

Wedding scene was very cold and wet weather.

He fell asleep waiting for his scene and Peter Facinelli pranked him by tickling his nose with a feather.

Pet peeve is rude people. He tries not to be rude when he has a short temper

When asked if he was president for a day what he’d do he say quit and then get rid of taxes give Indians back their land and then we’ll play monopoly

Gil has read teh Twilight Guide and wished it was out before the filming was over. He would have wanted to know more details

Movies.Com Covers the Changing Look of the Twilight Saga

Thanks to our Elite Affiliate Twilight Lexicon for this tip

This week in Laura’s column on Movies.com she covers the ever changing looks of the the Twilight Saga on screen.

“Change. Either you’re a person who likes change, or you go with the “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!” theory. The Twilight Saga has had its changes, ranging from casting, to directors, to character appearance, to Edward’s Volvo, and those are just for starters. Most fans realize that when you are going to adapt a book to screen, or switch out directors, inevitably, some things are going to get cut or changed. The question is how much change is good and how much is distracting.

There was some angst earlier this week when Entertainment Weekly had an image of Edward and Bella, as portrayed by Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart on the cover. Fans noticed that Kristen Stewart wasn’t wearing Bella’s brown contacts and Robert Pattinson wasn’t wearing his golden ones. Lens-gate, as the fan sites started to call it, was put to rest when Bill Condon confirmed, through his partner Jack Morrissey, that the shots were taken during a scene rehearsal. With all that water, it was understandable why they wouldn’t put the contact lenses in until the last second. Fans could rest easy knowing that director Bill Condon had an eye on the finer details!”

Daemon’s Movies Talks to Tinsel Korey

Thanks to our Elite Affiliate Twilight Lexicon for this tip!

Daemon’s Movies chats with Tinsel Korey about Twilight and her upcoming work in Fishing Naked with Bronson Pelletier.Pictured is Tinsel going through the effects make-up process.

At Comic-Con people camped our for two days to be at the panel for ‘Twilight’. Has the level of intense fandom had an effect on you and your career?

Tinsel Korey: Obviously it opens doors, in a way, having something big like that, absolutely. I don’t know if the level of work has gone further. I already had a career that was sort of building before ‘Twilight’. So it definitely gave it a little bit of a bump, but I was already going in that direction anyways and so it just sort of kept that steady pace of work for me.

In terms of interacting with people who recognize you, has that changed?

Tinsel Korey: I actually don’t get recognized. Last night, it was so funny, I was walking with Booboo and everyone recognized Boo Boo [Stewart], but because have of my face is covered with a massive scar and for the first two films I had bangs I look very different without that whole entire thing. Also, it’s like I’m dressed down in the movie, like, buttoned up plaid shirts and stuff like that. So, I actually don’t get recognized as much as the other guys because I have half my face covered with a massive scar.

That can be a blessing, right, so that you can live a normal life without getting mobbed wherever you go?

Tinsel Korey: Yeah, totally. Obviously, I like it. I’m more than happy to sign for fans and take pictures with fans as well, but it’s kind of nice having that anonymity and do which is what I do as an actor which is people watch. So, if everyone was watching me I definitely wouldn’t be able to delve into my craft as much as I can now where I can observe people and do what I do as an artist.

Kristen Stewart’s W Magazine Pics & Interview

Thanks to our Elite Affiliate Bella's Diary for this tip!!

Did you finally say goodbye to Bella in some meaningful way? You’ve been living with her for a long time. I’d been anticipating that end-of-Bella moment. I was going, Oh, my God—I wonder how I’m going to feel. And the last scene of the shoot was at the wedding. Every single character was there on set. At the end of that day, I was kind of whacked. And so I never really had that moment then. Instead, it happened later. We needed to film one more sort of honeymoon scene and we went to the Virgin Islands. After that scene, my true final scene, I felt like I could shoot up into the night sky and every pore of my body would shoot light. I felt lighter than I’ve ever felt in my life.

Did you have a particular interest in vampires? All young girls like vampires. I f***ing love me a vampire [Laughs]. I was 17 when I read Twilight, and at the time it was so perfect for me. The script was about young kids who think they can handle stuff that they just can’t. And they’re going to do it anyway. Because, why not? Just torture yourself. I relate to that. Vampires are a little dangerous—and we girls like to test ourselves.

In Breaking Dawn, Bella and Edward, her beloved vampire, get married. What was the wedding like? Awesome. This was my first wedding. It was insane. And odd. The wedding dress experience was a huge deal. I tried on one version of the dress, and it was like tweak and tweak and alter and tweak and change, and then it’s done. BFD dress. Huge deal.

How was the actual wedding? It was major. The last Twilight book is filled with BFDs, things that people have been waiting for for so long. For me, it was ridiculously dramatic: I get married, give birth, the baby has an incredibly accelerated growth rate we’re all very concerned about, and I say goodbye to my dad for the last time ever. It was all big—I could never go, Whew, I’m losing this character.

'Vampire Diaries' vs 'Twilight': How do Elena and Bella Differ?

Source Via @twilightish.

While both Vampire Diaries and Twilight deal with vampires, last week's episode of Vampire Diaries proved that the series and the film are very different. Elena Gilbert, played by Nina Dobrev, and Bella Swan, played by Kristen Stewart, see their lives playing out very differently. The executive producer of the CW series, Julie Plec, talked about the difference between the two recently.

According to Digital Spy, she said the following about how Elena differs from Bella: "When we started the show, the similarities to Twilight were so extreme. This was our way of closing the book on that chapter of similarities. For Elena to say, 'I've never even wanted this for a minute because I'm still a kid and I still have choices to make in my life, choices that I wanted to make' - I was happy to let her have this introspection when the choice has already been made for her."

In Twilight, Bella Swan wants to become a vampire from the beginning. She wants to spend eternity with Edward Cullen. It is Edward that is hesitant to allow her to do this. Elena might not have a choice in the matter depending on how events in the next two episodes plays out. She has vampire blood running through her veins thanks to Damon, so it is very possible that she will turn into a vampire before the end of this season of Vampire Diaries. It all depends on how the ritual plays out, and if she ends up dead because of it.

Fans know that Bella Swan goes vampire in Twilight: Breaking Dawn, but will Elena Gilbert do the same on Vampire Diaries? Fans will have to keep tuning in to find out.

Edward Cullen among The Best TV High School Boyfriends

These cuties make everyone swoon on the small screen and the silver screen! Whether they're cracking a joke, opening doors, or simply saving their girlfriend's life, one thing's for sure — they look hot doing it! Source Via @diariotwilight.

Edward Cullen — Twilight Right after Edward saved Bella from being hit by a car, he avenged her honor by killing James (Who was trying to kill her!), and then he took her to prom. Oh, and he's pretty much the sexiest thing alive, ahem, dead. Best BTAV (boyfriend that's a vampire) ever! See the other here.

Is this why you love 'Edward Cullen'?

Someone from Guyism.com (the website name should be a first clue as to how this is going to go down, by the way) posted a really interesting perspective article on fictional male characters and what guys can learn from them.

Of course Edward Cullen from the Twilight series was included (second only to Leonardo DiCaprio's Titanic Jack Dawson), and naturally there are things to be learned from why so many women adore this character . . . but the person penning "13 things to learn from fictional boyfriends women love" might not have gotten it right, or has he? You decide. Here's what he had to say about Edward (edited for language, etc.):

Twilight not only filled the void Buffy the Vampire Slayer left behind, but it set precedent as grown women . . . openly took part in this rampant fangirldom. The reason for this madness can be attributed to the paranormal love triangle involving a girl, a vampire and a werewolf. It’s a testament to a woman’s desire for the best of both worlds from their partners, sensitivity and beast-like manliness . . .

Lesson learned: Edward drives girls crazy because he knows how to play the game. He doesn’t immediately give her what she wants and he always looks slightly [angry]. These two elements combined afford him an air of mystery, arousing the ladies while steering him clear of the dreaded friend zone . . . .

Sofia Coppola checks in to 'Somewhere' and reflects on 'The Twilight Saga'

Thanks to our elite affies Gossip_Dance for the tip!
via @Gossip_Dance via Source

There is no follow up project on Coppola's agenda after "Somewhere," but she raised some eyebrows among the hipster set when she put her name in the pool to direct "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn," a project that eventually went to fellow Academy Award winner Bill Condon. When I asked Coppola if that was the type of Hollywood studio picture she was interested in directing she sort of sidestepped the question, but she did explain her interest in the series.

"When I saw the first one I was really impressed with the performances by Rob and Kristen - that they were so good to take the material seriously. They weren't treating it lightly as a kid thing. And I like things for young people and my friend’s teenage daughter put me on the book and I’m a big romantic, too. I love the romantic aspect of it," Coppola says. "So yeah, I like doing things for a young audience and usually things for kids aren’t made in that way. I thought it would have been exciting to do the first one where [their relationship was established]."

"Twilight" directed by a Coppola? Now that would have been something to see.

"Somewhere" is now playing in limited release in New York and Los Angeles.
