Nikki Reed's Chainletter set for national release

L.A.-based New Films International has acquired the film's distribution rights and plans to show "Chain Letter" on 400 screens in seven top markets the first weekend of August, then roll it out to other cities if it does as well as expected.

"It's moving like a train," Taylor says of marketing efforts to create a buzz for the film that stars Nikki Reed, who has a lead role in the next Twilight film, "Eclipse," debuting in June.

Ron Gell, chief content officer for New Films, says "Chain Letter" will be a "breakout film for Deon and a breakout film, period," with potential for sequels in the same way that horror classic "Saw" spawned a movie franchise.

"Chain Letter" is "amazingly directed. Deon really stepped up and did a knockout job," says Gell, whose company recently moved into the domestic film business after 30 years as an international distributor.

"This (film) started with everybody in Hollywood slamming the door on me and saying, no, they wouldn't (release) it theatrically," he says. "But you deal with it, stand up and ask more people."

Abduction starring Taylor Lautner and Lily Collins

Taylor Lautner's latest leading lady is a new face with a name that may be familiar to fans of 1980s pop-rock music. Lily Collins -- the daughter of hit-maker Phil Collins -- will star with Lautner in the upcoming thriller "Abduction."


Collins may not be very well-known to the legions of "Twilight" fans more accustomed to seeing Lautner alongside Kristen Stewart, but she may ring a bell for fans of Sandra Bullock's last film: 21-year-old Lily made her silver screen debut last year as the daughter of Bullock's character in "The Blind Side." Prior to that, Lily's work found her in two episodes of "90210" and as a host for Nickelodeon's "Kids Pick the President" in 2008.


In "Abduction," Collins will play the girlfriend who aids Lautner's search for his real parents after discovering his baby picture on a missing persons website.


Lautner and Collins will begin work on the dramatic thriller once reshoots for "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" wrap. (Even though the film hits theaters June 30, Twi-hards need not fret -- last-minute reshoots are a normal part of the filmmaking process, and a rep from Summit assures fans none of the film's vital scenes need any work.)

PFach to play boxing champion Vinny Pazienza in "Paz"

The Twilight vampire is ditching his fangs and stepping into the ring! He’s going to star in a new film about the true story of an inspirational boxer!

Peter Facinelli, best known for playing Carlisle Cullen in the Twilight series, is taking on a huge new role! The actor, also known for his role on Nurse Jackie as Dr. Cooper, will play boxing champion Vinny Pazienza in a biopic called Paz. The movie is about Vinny’s life and will focus on the boxer’s car accident which left him with a broken neck, after which doctors told him he would never box again. The boxer goes on to prove the doctors wrong, however, and becomes a world champion, beating Jr. Middleweight champion Luis Santana in 1991.

We can’t wait to see this film which is set to start filming some time in 2011.

Fans Opinions Matter - Rant about Current State of Twilight Saga

Since news of Eclipse reshoots broke Wednesday, the internet has been a frenzy of gossip, rumours and speculation. Even "official" word is being doubted.

Fans are what drive the Twilight Saga. Let's face it, before Twilight Summit was not exactly known as a successful or well-known company.

Twilight was an "unexpected hit" while New Moon came together rather nicely (minus a few seconds of vampire Bella frolicking in the forest) and now we have some chaos. I am not blaming Summit or any one person or department but it seems things are VERY different right now than they have been in the past.

First we have Eclipse "trouble" rumours galore (let's face it all rumours have to come from SOMEWHERE, even common sense) and second, we have massive Breaking Dawn secrecy borderline coverups.... Fans opinions matter... and I want to know how youa re feeling right now about the Twilight Saga.

Personally here are my thoughts:

Re-Shoots/Pick-Up shoots are common in films, but this seems really late in the game to be doing them. To return to location with primary cast to reshoot scenes seems like a major task to be doing 2 months before the film is supposed to come out.

New Moon's final cut was done over a month before it came out, so there's an interesting comparison.

After news of a new editor came out, I evaluated the timeline and realized some major difference between New Moon and Eclise but also felt that if they worked hard it woukd all come together. Now, with reshoots I wonder.

The word is still June 30, 2010, and I really really doubt Summit could get away with changing that date.... there would surely be a twi-riot ha ha

That being said, how many hours will people be working to make this film come together by June 30 and how tired will they be and how rushed will they be?

Eclipse is my favourite book and the movie I am most looking forward to and I am fearful they will eff it up!

Everyone involved with the films always say "we know we can't please everyone" but I think (while a true fact) it's kind of a cop out and if that's the mentality they have going into this - I am more worried about thr outcome.

I usually say I can't wait for June 30 but at this point I am ok with the wait as long as they have time to get it right!

On the flip side - coming back to Vancouver to film reshoots for Eclipse makes me excited that Breaking Dawn will be announced here also.

The production team is coming back and has ANOTHER opportunity to speak with BC Film Commissionand hopefully make it official that they will return to Vancouver to film.

Regardless, I am worried and disappointed in how things have been going lately, witht he seemingly delayed production of Eclipse, staffing changes, secrecy, confusion, rumours, leaks, scams and lack of communication.

I think Twilight Fans would be more honest with the truth... Here's what I imagine would be said if Summit were honest:

"We want the movie to be perfect and the editor was going in a direction we didn't like so we re-hired"

"Our rehiring upset David Slade who has worked closely with him before, however, we are working through these issues and all have a common - goal of giving the fand a fantastic movie"


"Going through footage we realized we need more shots here and there and are going in for reshoots to ensure the best quality film for fans"


"We have decided on a location for Breaking Dawn but in the interest of surprise and security we are not announcing it until closer to the filming start date"


"Our Breaking Dawn director is (Bill Condon?) but we want to keep him happy and safe so we are not announcing it until closer to filming start date so he is not harassed by twilight fans daily leading to his exhaustion before filming even begins"


"We realize fans want more so we will release one official still a month/week leading up to the movies release so that we don't have to be dickheads and chase after fans who post leaked photos that were stolen from us because we are too secretive and elusive"


"We are sorry to go after fans who promote us for free and help us keep our mansions and fancy cars, instead of trying to sue them and make their lives miserable we are going to thank them with passes to the premiere and public apology"


"We know we don't actually own the rights to the image of people holding apples, we just like to pretend we own the world because we had one major mega successful saga"


"Yes are in bed with the devil... but he's hot and we like it"

Ok - maybe I kid... or maybe not...

The point is things are different and I don't like it... I miss good old Twilight/New Moon days... simpler times... ha ha

Kristen felt weird kissing "Jacob" as "Bella" in Eclipse

For Kristen Stewart, who reprises her role as Bella in Twilight: Eclipse, locking lips with costar Taylor Lautner (who plays her pal Jacob) felt odd—not just because she thinks of Lautner as a kid brother, but because Bella’s heart truly belongs to vampire hottie Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson). “It felt really weird kissing someone else as Bella,” says Stewart. “I was like, ‘What the hell are you doing?’ It was a really strange experience—as it should have been.”
