Vampire Shapeshifters | So ... What Are You?

Hi fellow Twilighters! First off, I apologise for the much slack in updates for this blog. We all know there's nothing much happening in Twilight World anymore these days. Even Stephenie Meyer is sorta over it. So, what should I do with this blog? Keep it, or delete it? I felt that this blog need a closure. A sort of a thank-you note for everyone that have stuck around to comment, vote, view, read, criticise, etc. So here goes.

The apparent quote that Stephenie Meyer is over Twilight has struck a nerve in the Twilight community. She said this in the Variety interview. DM: What about a return to “Twilight?” SM: I get further away every day. I am so over it. For me, it’s not a happy place to be. DM: Is the door completely closed on that? SM: Not completely. What I would probably do is three paragraphs on my blog saying which of the characters died. I’m interested in spending time in other worlds, like Middle-Earth. To clear up any misunderstandings, Stephenie took to her official blog to clear it up. Even those of you who love Twilight the most (in fact, especially those who love it the most) have probably noticed that there's been just a teensy little bit of backlash following the success of the books and films. I try my hardest to be thick-skinned, but I'm not much better at that than I am at brevity. So when I speak of Twilight becoming a negative place for me, it is entirely that...

Stephenie Meyer talks to Variety on her production company, Fickle Fish Films, as well as 'Austenland'. Q&A Stephenie Meyer: ‘Twilight’ Author Trades Undead for Well-Bred in ‘Austenland’ The Y.A. author's Fickle Fish Films keeps the focus on romance in Keri Russell starrer “Twilight” author Stephenie Meyer is moving on. She’s put a stake in the heart of her megahit vampire franchise, and saw modest results ($48 million worldwide) earlier this year from an adaptation of her romantic sci-fi novel “The Host.” These days, instead of writing, she’s more focused on being a producer — a skill she gained from assuming that role on the final two “Twilight” movies and “The Host.” Her two-year-old shingle Fickle Fish Films, launched with co-topper Meghan Hibbett, is readying its first release, “Austenland,” starring Keri Russell as a die-hard Jane Austen fan who plans a vacation at a country house steeped in the world of the 19th century British romance writer. The film,...

This is something every Twihard see coming, and wants (or wishes) to own. Summit has announced a complete boxset for the Twilight Saga, including bonus footage, featurettes, and everything you would ever want (expect your very own real-life, living-and-breathing replica of Edward Cullen). ' Twilight Forever: The Complete Saga ' comes in both DVD and Blu-Ray, and an additional Digital Ultraviolet copy. It has two covers: Edward and Bella, and Jacob.  It is super amazing, and would surely be coveted. Unfortunately, Twilighters Malaysia mentioned that there is a very slim chance we will have this here. Unless the DVD distributor imports this from the States for sale here, you would have to get it online.

Here's to your forever, Edward and Bella Cullen!!

' Austenland ' is the first film produced by Stephenie Meyer under her production company, Fickle Fish Films. The film is based on the novel by Shannon Hale, and will be distributed by Sony Pictures Classics in the States. No release date for Malaysia yet. via SqueetusBlog , Sony Pictures Classic

In this epic adventure thriller from Eric Kripke (Supernatural) and J.J. Abrams, a family struggles to reunite in a post-apocalyptic American landscape: a world of empty cities, local militias and heroic freedom fighters, where every single piece of technology — computers, planes, cars, phones, even lights — has mysteriously blacked out … forever. The show airs on FOX (ASTRO ch710), every Wednesday at 9.50 P.M. Check out the trailer above, cos the show looks kinda cool and interesting. via FOXTVAsia

After months of speculation about the star's rumoured partnership with the brand, the House of Dior has released an official statement today confirming the campaign.  They said: 'The House of Dior is delighted to announce that actor Robert Pattinson is to be the new face of Dior Homme fragrance. Since his first notable role in 2005 in the fourth Harry Potter sequel, film star Robert Pattinson has more recently come to be known through his role in the runaway box office success, the Twilight saga. He has since proven the scope of his acting talents by choosing films as varied as Remember Me by Allen Coulter, Water for Elephants by Francis Lawrence, in which he starred alongside Reese Witherspoon, or with his role as Bel-Ami, the famous Maupassant character. In the ultimate tribute to his talent, David Cronenberg chose hi...

June 2, 2003 marks the day that our fav vampire story came to life, which makes today the birthday of Twilight !! As Stephenie Meyer explains it, it all came to her in a from of a dream: I know the exact date that I began writing Twilight, because it was also the first day of swim lessons for my kids. So I can say with certainty that it all started on June 2, 2003. Up to this point, I had not written anything besides a few chapters (of other stories) that I never got very far on, and nothing at all since the birth of my first son, six years earlier. I woke up (on that June 2nd) from a very vivid dream. In my dream, two people were having an intense conversation in a meadow in the woods. One of these people was just your average girl. The other person was fantastically beautiful, sparkly, and a vampire. They were discussing the difficulties inherent in the facts that A) they were falling in love with each other while B) the vampire was particularly attracted to the sce...

Twilight Singapore is having an event to celebrate the saga, called ' The Epilogue '. The event will be held at the National Library in Singapore, which means if you wish to join, you gotta hitch a ride on a plane first. Honestly, the event is just too cool not to go for. Unfortunately, I have classes and projects to face. Therefore, if you can make it, I urge you to. The door gifts are amazing, and the merch they are giving away are insane! Check out their event page HERE , and keep up with the girls on Twitter: @ twisingapore .

While most of the fandom was watching Breaking Dawn Part 2 ( #BreakingDawnPart2Night ) , as part of a worldwide boycott of the MTV Movie Awards 2013 ,  Taylor Lautner won the sole Twilight nomination for Best Shirtless Performance . As a joke, he wore a belly suit to cover up his still-there (I think) six-pack abs. He explained to MTV that it was for fun and he had to do something funny.  Get More:  2013 MTV Movie Awards , Latest Movie News  

Twilight Poison wrote up an open letter to the entire Twilight fandom, regarding the MTV Movie Awards and its single nomination for Breaking Dawn Part 2 . It's a massive watch-along in support of Breaking Dawn Part 2 , and instead of watching the MTV Movie Awards, the fandom will be watching the movie instead. They will also be having a giveaway. I won't be able to watch the show, anyway, but I guess I'll be tweeting along to show my support for the 'cause'. If you're on Twitter and wish to support our beloved fandom, tweet #BreakingDawnPart2Night during the show and help to make it trend worldwide! MTV Asia will be airing the show on Monday, 15th April at 8 a.m. LIVE from the States.  Read the entire letter HERE .

The DVD and VCD for Breaking Dawn Part 2 is now available in stores. It is priced at RM 19.90 for VCD, and RM39.90 for DVD (prices may vary according to retail outlet). As I mentioned earlier , there are practically no extras on the DVD, and that's very depressing. I didn't check if they had Blu-Ray.
