Twilight Moments to look forward to in 2010

I am looking forward to Eclipse more than I did New Moon.... but June is so far away, surely there will be other exciting Twilight news before then!

Here are some Twilight Moments I am looking forward tooo....

Twilight Examiner posted this:

It's officially 2010, and you know what that means . . . another year of Twilight!

2009 was a great year for Twilight fans, and we've already discussed this fact thoroughly. Well, 2010 seems to be shaping up - already - to be a great one as well.

Of course, the year will hold ups, downs, and in-betweens . . . and there'll be a few surprises to be sure, but right now there are several coming events of the year that'll make 2010 another year for Twilight fans!
Without further adieu, here are the top ten Twilight moments to look forward to in 2010!

•The Twilight Saga: Eclipse trailer
This is, right now, one of the most immediately anticipated moments in the Twilight fandom. We've already seen one still from the film (showing Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in the meadow), the title art, and the first promotional poster for the film.

Yet, only six months out from the film's release, there's not much about Eclipse (aside from the devoted Twittering from director David Slade) that has been seen. There's been a bit of speculation about when and where the first trailer will debut, but even Slade himself has stated that he doesn't know. If the first trailer for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is anything like the one for The Twilight Saga: New Moon, though, it'll be a monumental occasion . . . Can't wait to see those reaction videos!


•The Twilight Saga: New Moon DVD and deleted scenes/commentary
Sometime this spring, the DVD for The Twilight Saga: New Moon will be released. Last year, when Twilight's DVD was released, there were DVD release parties across the country, including showings from cast members and the director at the various venues of celebration. Perhaps the New Moon DVD will receive the same treatment.

Regardless, the release will be a moment of fun for Twilight fans, and two of the things that the DVD will bring - aside from the actual movie, that is - are deleted scenes and commentary. In the Official Companion for New Moon, there was at least one image from what appears to be a deleted scene (this one, showing Robert Pattinson and Ashley Greene outside of the Swan home). There are two others we've discussed here as well.

According to director Chris Weitz, there'll be about twenty minutes of deleted scenes. Usually, in addition to deleted scenes, a film DVD offers a special commentary option with the director and, potentially, castmates from the movie. For Twilight, the DVD commentary came from Catherine Hardwicke, Robert Pattinson, and Kristen Stewart. In the commentary, the three had the opportunity to reflect on filming and their opinions on certain scenes as they watched. While New Moon has already been discussed (extremely thoroughly) by all parties involved, it'd still be fun to hear their reactions to the film as it progresses on-screen!



•Remember Me, Valentine's Day, The Runaways, and other films by the cast

The Twilight fandom is a devoted bunch. Becoming fans of the cast for the films is practically part and parcel of being a fan of the series. This is especially true when it comes to the "Big Three" (Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner). So, to see their work outside of the saga come to fruition will be fun and pertinent to a lot of the fans.

In Robert Pattinson's case, his spring release film Remember Me (which debuts on March 12, 2010) will probably be a must-see for Twilight fans and fans of the actor. The film tells the story of a young man enduring and overcoming a family hardship in the Big City. He is joined in the film by Lost star Emilie de Ravin, Pierce Brosnan, and Chris Cooper. The release of Remember Me will certainly be a great moment for Twilight fans in 2010.


Along the same vein of the Remember Me release, Taylor Lautner's spring film Valentine's Day (though does not lead the unbelievable cast for the picture) will also hit home for Twilight fans and fans of the actor.

Lautner's immediate co-star and on-screen love interest in the movie is Taylor Swift, and the first promotional trailer for the film that stars the two was only recently seen. Valentine's Day will be released on February 12, 2010, and it'll definitely make the cut as a moment for Twilight fans in 2010.

Kristen Stewart, too, has an important film that'll make its way to theaters in 2010. The Runaways, which also stars her New Moon and Eclipse co-star Dakota Fanning, will be released sometime in 2010. It tells the story of the all-girl band "The Runaways," and Stewart stars as Joan Jett, who was very involved in the filmmaking process. Stewart's Welcome To The Rileys will be hitting theaters in 2010, too (after it, along with The Runaways, makes a stay at Sundance).

In addition to these films, the Twilight cast'll have many, many pictures being released in 2010. A full list is available here.

•Eclipse soundtrack, artists, and contenders
If the formulation of the soundtrack for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is met with the same widespread interest by artists as New Moon's was, it'll be a long stretch of would-be contributors over the next few months. Already, artists like the band Muse have been putting forth their intentions of becoming a part of the Eclipse soundtrack (though Muse is a shoe-in for a great many reasons, you well know).

Another probable contributor for the Eclipse soundtrack is The Killers, who appeared on the New Moon soundtrack and who David Slade has done a music video for (in conjunction with UNICEF). From his tweets, one might also speculate that the band Dead Weather might be a strong contender for the album, considering he raved about the band's video and tweeted pictures of one of their concerts that he attended during the film process.

In any case, chances are that there'll be a push by some bands and singers who want to be a part of the Eclipse soundtrack (especially after the grand reception that the New Moon soundtrack received), and, in turn, there'll also be some fan speculation about what artists should or will make it onto the album. Soon after, a full list of contributors will be announced - as well as a composer for the film's score. The Eclipse soundtrack, then, will certainly be a memorable point in time for 2010.

•The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn announcement
Sometime in 2010, one hopes, the official announcement that The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn is greenlit will be released. At this point, fans have no doubt that the film will be made, but whatever the hold-up may be, it hasn't happened yet. Of course, it's probably just a matter of time . . . At any rate, the day that the official announcement comes will be a fantastic one for fans of the Twilight series. Until then, we wait with bated breath . . . and speculate whether it'll be one or two films.

My 2010 Predictions

I don't usually make predictions but I have had a ton of people ask me so let's give it a go...

  • #1 - Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart will have a leaked sex tape that will make Robsten Lovers around the world quiver with happiness and joy... a full "twi-o" --- it will beat New Moon and Twilight combined for most downloaded video ;)

  • #2 - Twilight Saga Eclipse will outsell New Moon.

  • #3 - Breaking Dawn will be announced - filming will start this Fall in Vancouver. Twifans will flock to the 'couve once more, I will be bombarded with emails once more ranging from admiration, requests for information, and hate.

  • #4 - Jon Gosseline will be date raped by the Octo-mom leading to her pregnancy of another 6 children.

  • #5 - Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes will have a very public and messy break-up. It will be revealed Tom Cruise was infected by scientology aliens and is half robot. Katie will go back to doing what she want.

  • #6 - Brangelina will adopt 4 more children, ok maybe 3 and she'll pop out the 4th.

  • #7 - Taylor Lautner turns 18 and immediately poses for Playgirl... ha jk... Channing Tatum? Please?

  • #8 - Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens will become engaged... then single.

  • #9 - With one Jonas married, I predict another Jonas will lose his virginity ring... out of wed-lock *gasp* the sex tape will be all the talk, til Robsten's sex tape comes out of course.

  • #13 - There will be an earthquake on the west coast.

  • #14 - Sam Bradley's new album is a chart topper in North America.

  • #15 - Lady GaGa has a wild and crazy show gone wrong. I don't like to predict bad things, but I'm thinking her wildness goes too far... for even her.

  • #16 - The reason for Bryce Howard Dallas' casting in Eclipse to replace Rachelle LeFevre is finally revealed... and it is NOT just "schedule conflicts" (duh!)

  • #17 - Bobby Long and Marcus Foster return to Vancouver to perform in the Fall .... while BD is filming... Rob has one too many heineken's and joins them on stage to sing a few tunes... fans go nuts, the youtube hits are almost as high as the robsten sex tape.

  • #18 - A Summit big-wig casts another family member for another minor, pointless role in a Summit movie.

  • #20 - Nikki Reed gets married... Sage writes a song for the big day.

  • #21 - It is discovered that vampires really do exsist and werewolves also.

  • #22 - Dog the Bounty Hunter has another child with Beth, meaning Baby Lisa's daughter has an auntie younger than her.

  • #23 - Dawson's Creek has a reunion, it is bigger than Saved by the Bell reunion and Pacey is hotter than ever after divorcing Joey after catching her cheating on him with Dawson for a Speilberg porno.... or something... [This is after, of course, Katie is freed from Tom and can make her own decisions in what to act in again]

  • #24 - World Peace

  • #25 - Malicious Mandy / Martini Mandy will launch a new blog - ok this isn't a prediction... just you wait - it'll be awesome!

    Happy New Year Y'all!
  • Rob & Kristen together for NYE

    Entertainment Wise reports:
    Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart welcomed in the New Year together in the UK, reports suggest.

    The Twilight stars, who are reported to be dating, were apparently pictured with a fan on Thursday (December 31).

    Unconfirmed reports claims the two photos were taken in Ventnor on the Isle of Wight.

    Both stars can be seen wearing hooded tops on a shopping street in the pictures.

    Rob returned to the UK from Los Angeles in December to spend Christmas with his family.

    Last week, the 23-year-old actor, who plays vampire Edward Cullen, was spotted outside his South London home with his sister, Lizzy.

    Rob and Kristen, 19, were last seen together in the UK ahead of the release of The Twilight Saga: New Moon in November.


    Here are fan photos circulating...

    Ventnor is located on the Isle of Wight . Which is an island that is in the south of England. You can see that it was "The Boxing Day" .. Which happens the day after Christmas. The exact location is outside Somerfield, a supermarket chain in England.


    Mandy's Mind - Although friends enjoy hanging out on NYE this seems more likely to be reason to believe they are indeed a couple. I have to say I was skeptical but the past three months have really made me lean towards the def. possiblity that "Robsten" is real
