Who Do You Think Will Have the Biggest Post-Twilight Career?

BuzzSugar — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:00:42 -0800

Alice Cullen is moving beyond Twilight: Actress Ashley Greene is in talks for a ghostly film titled The Apparition. The story follows a couple who is haunted after an experiment goes awry. Greene would play the female lead, so no more playing second fiddle to Bella!

I'll be honest, I wasn't all that familiar with Greene - or some of the other New Moon actors - before Twilight took off. Kristen Stewart's career was perhaps the most well known, but the gang's notoriety couldn't even touch the recognition they receive now. They're already landing big-name magazine covers, and I'm sure films like The Apparition are just the tip of the iceberg for Greene and the group as Twilight mania continues.

It makes me curious though - who do you think is going to get the most out of the film's success? Obviously, your first pick might be heartthrob Robert Pattinson, but let's not forget that it's sometimes hard for an actor to break out of a role that made him huge, since everyone associates them with the part. Maybe Kristen Stewart is a stronger choice since she had already established a growing career before Twilight took over? Or maybe even someone who's more on the sidelines, like Kellan Lutz?

An Open Letter to Breaking Dawn's Screenwriter

Buzz Community — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 05:30:00 -0800

This post comes from the group The Books of Twilight from member Audreystar.

Dear Ms. Rosenberg,

First let me say that I thought you did an impeccable job at screenwriting Twilight from Stephenie Meyer's novel. From what I can see you did a great job on New Moon as well. I can only assume that Eclipse will be no different. You have proven yourself a competent and talented screenwriter. Hell, you write episodes of Dexter for goodness sake! Your ability is not in question.

I am here to discuss Breaking Dawn. This will be the ultimate test of your career. If you can manage to pull a workable movie out of that piece of literature you should (hands down) win the Academy Award in screenwriting. Everyone seems to be wondering who will be chosen to direct Breaking Dawn because they believe that is (ultimately) the person who will sink or swim in making a film work on the last book. I beg to differ. This all lies with you and that is quite a big burden to bear. The world is on your shoulders. The movie will make a ton of money so Summit can't be THAT concerned with the script. But I know you aren't a writer to please all the people who will watch anything with Robert Pattinson in it. You actually care about putting out quality work.

To read the rest of the letter (WARNING: Breaking Dawn spoilers ahead!), just .

So here are my questions. How are you honestly going to manage to write the birth scene and still maintain a PG-13 rating? How are you going to write for Renesmee and her not look like a freak of nature? Regarding Renesmee, the hardest challenge will be for the casting directors/CGI geniuses. They have a daunting and hard and impossible job. The honeymoon scene is what everyone will be flocking to the cinema to see (the rabid fans I mean) and I am sure Mrs. Prude Meyer will be ALL OVER the writing and filming of that. Look I know she didn't write the books for a mature audience and is trying to keep it morally sound. But this is the last movie and we have to have more than just a fade to black. But I know it won't happen because SM wouldn't even let the first kiss scene stay the way Catherine had it (i.e., steamy). I find it rather hypocritical that SM has an issue with a tasteful sex scene however has ZERO problem with blood and gore which Breaking Dawn the novel is filled to the brim with. You want to see Edward and Bella consummate their relationship. . . sorry, you aren't gonna get it. But if you are excited to see Edward rip Bella's belly open with his sharp vampire teeth, well you are in luck.

And don't even get me started on how you are going to work out the awful anti-climatic ending. This is going to be the last film in the series and as a talented screenwriter you know you can't end it that way. Sure, if this were an indie film you could get away with it. But, it isn't.

So in conclusion, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers while dealing with this huge predicament and the test of your career. You will deserve a Pulitzer if you can pull this off.

Best regards,
Audreystar

(Please note: I have no clue if she has even been signed as the screenwriter for the fourth film).

Which November Movie Do You Want to See the Most?

BuzzSugar — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 13:30:21 -0800

There are only two months to go in 2009, which means Hollywood is quickly rolling out the rest of its heavy-hitters. November offers up a wide selection of comedy, drama, action and indie, but tell me - which film is at the top of your list?

Will You See Twilight in Theaters on Nov. 19?

BuzzSugar — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 12:30:01 -0700

As New Moon fever continues to heat up, the execs at Summit have decide to give fans an extra treat to gear up for the big sequel. Twilight, the first in the saga, will be re-released in theaters for one day only: Nov. 19, on the eve of New Moon's release date.

I'm sure those tickets will sell out fast, especially since I know plenty of Twi-hard converts who had no interest in seeing the film this time last year. It could be a fun refresher before the sequel, so tell me - will you see Twilight in theaters on Nov. 19?

Best Thing Ever: New Moon's Werewolf Bar Mitzvah

BuzzSugar — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 10:30:12 -0700

If the words "Werewolf Bar Mitzvah" mean nothing to you, then I am about to rock your world in the best way possible. Here at Sugar HQ, the term has been tossed around one more than once as New Moon approaches, referencing the "novelty party song" that earned Tracy Jordan a gold record on 30 Rock. Quite literally, New Moon is Jacob Black's werewolf bar mitzvah (translation: boys becoming men, men becoming wolves!) - and my dear friend Molly found the perfect way to set Jacob's moment in time to music in this amazing mash up.
