“Twilight: The Video Game”, why isn’t there one made yet?

Leave a comment

The “Twilight” franchise is making merchandise of everything. T-shirts, posters, candy, collectible cards, action figures, board games, etc. I’m sure we’ll soon get animated movies and cartoon versions of the “Twilight” series. What about the video game?

Imagine if you could play the Edward Cullen character in a video game, battling against other vampires and werewolves. Make it an action adventure game similar to the “Tomb Raider” series or “Resident Evil”.

I’m sure the game would be an instant hit if there was one made. There may not be a “Twilight” game yet, but maybe there will be one when the last film “Breaking Dawn” gets made into a film, that way the video game can have the whole story in one game.

There has been “Harry Potter”, “Lord of the Rings” and “Chronicles of Narnia” video games, but no “Twilight” yet. I’m sure we’ll start getting “Twilight” video games soon for all systems. Don’t know when it’s going to happen since there are no reports on a video game of “Twilight” yet, but I’m sure it’s in the planning stages.

Don’t worry kids, I’m sure you’ll get your chance to play the Edward Cullen character soon on your video game systems.

In defense of Robert Pattison, this post is aimed toward the men that bash him…

14 Comments

I don’t know about you “Twilight” fans out there, but I am getting tired of guys bashing Robert Pattison for attracting many girls and making fun of his Edward Cullen character. Well yeah, of course. I think that’s pretty much the obvious reason Summit Entertainment hired Robert Pattison to be the leading Edward Cullen star. He’s simply a chick magnet.

I think we can safely say that guys who make fun of Robert Pattison over this, comes out of jealousy. Yep, there’s that word again. I know you’re getting sick of seeing that word in my blog, but I have to say it again to get my point across. I’m sure guys like myself wish we were as good looking as him. Us men probably wish we can get a huge crowd of girls following us everywhere we go, which we can’t do.

Robert Pattison is the Beatles of Hollywood. You know how back in the old days of the Beatles where girls would follow them everywhere? It is that era again, with Robert Pattison of “Twilight” this time. I actually find this Robert Pattison guy quite interesting, so I have nothing negative against the guy at all.

Even though he is not a vampire, of course, he looks almost exactly like one, which is another reason why he got the “Twilight” role. I have a feeling that the horror movie industry will be all over this guy. Once this dude, gets done filming the “Twilight” series, , I see Robert starring in a lot of adult R rated horror films. I see him playing vampire characters in various other vampire movies, possibly.

If he sticks with the horror genre after “Twilight”, I think he’ll become the most successful actor in the horror movie industry. He could be just as big as Robert Englund and all those guys.

All the girls loving Robert Pattison, and all the men hating on him, is only the beggining. It’s just proof that he’s on his way in becoming a legendary star in the making. Love him or hate him, gotta give the man credit. I think Robert is pretty cool and can’t wait for “New Moon” to hit theater!

Confirmed: Robert Pattinson, “Twilight” star to present award at the Oscars this Sunday…

3 Comments

Look like all the “Twilight” fans will be tuning in to the Oscars this Sunday, just to see Robert Pattison present an award at this Sunday’s Academy awards. While the Academy is doing their best to keep award presenters top secret, it is still not stopping other websites to confirm award presenters. This article confirmed that the Edward Cullen star will indeed be there to present some kind of award  but it’s not known what award he will present.

Rumours swirling, that Kristen Stewart may be there too.

More on it here:

I can see him presenting an award for “Best Animated Film”, or for “Best Song” or something like that.

The Oscars will be good this Sunday.

Thought: Maybe Stephen King was just joking about Stephenie Meyer? Maybe we’re not picking up his sarcasm…

Leave a comment

After thinking about it a while and after reading Stephen King’s rants about Stephenie again, maybe he’s just joking and fooling around. Maybe he really does respect Stephenie and the work she does, I think we’re not (including me) picking up his sarcasm. He’s always had this weird sense of humor when doing interviews with the media.

If Stephenie wasn’t a good writer, then her books wouldn’t get published at all. I think Stephen knows it. That’s how I think he could possibly be kidding around and making fun of her a bit.

There are hints of sarcasm we’re not picking up in his rants, here, I’ll quote them: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29001524/

“It’s exciting and it’s thrilling and it’s not particularly threatening because it’s not overtly sexual…” – Stephen King on Twilight…and here, ““Both Rowling and Meyer, they’re speaking directly to young people… The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can’t write worth a darn. She’s not very good.”

As you can see he’s mixing both positive and negative thoughts about Twilight.

Maybe in a few day’s he’ll come out and say, “I’m only kidding when I say Stephenie is a bad writer, I actually love her.”

Report: Stephen King not a fan of Stephenie Meyer, master of horror bashes the “Twilight” author…

29 Comments

Stephen King has read the “Twilight” series by Stephenie Meyer, and get ready for some harsh criticism by the master of horror. King compared both J.K. Rowling and Stephenie Meyer by saying, “Rowling can write, Stephenie can’t”.

Twilight fans, click here to read what Stephen King have to say about Stephenie Meyer, if you dare:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29001524/

As a fan of the “Twilight” series, this is hilarious coming from a guy who hasn’t written a great novel since “The Dark Tower” series and a guy who is no longer a bestselling author, sounds to me that King is a bit jealous of Stephenie’s popularity. Yeah, I’m sure Mr. King would love all the popularity that she’s getting. King should shut his mouth.

Stephenie’s a fantastic writer. He shouldn’t compare her to J.K. Rowling at all ’cause both writers have completely different styles. I’m sure Stephenie maybe a huge fan of Mr. King’s work and I’m sure his harsh critique broke her heart. His writing probably influenced her own writing as well.

Confirmed: Taylor Lautner reprising role for Jacob Black in “New Moon”!!!!!!

Leave a comment

Director Chris Weitz who is helming “New Moon”, the Twilight sequel, announced Taylor Launter will be reprising his role as Jacob Black. At first, Summit Entertainment were trying to decide whether or not they should have Taylor return as Jacob Black, but it was said that Stephenie Meyer first brought up the decision. She talked Chris Weitz into signing Taylor.

From Stephenie Meyer’s official website:

Great news!! I thought Taylor made a perfect Jacob Black and don’t see that character being replaced. Taylor should play Jacob in all 4 Twilight movies. Kudos for Stephenie for saving Taylor’s job!! That shows how cool she really is!

Confirmed: Chris Weitz to direct “New Moon”…official…

“The Golden Compass” director, Chris Weitz, has signed with Summit Entertainment to direct “New Moon”, the sequel to “Twilight”. This means it is official. He is the next director, replacing Catherine Hardwicke.

Variety Reports:

I have mixed feelings about this, I don’t like the director choice. I do like the idea of a man directing the next Twilight movie though, I wish Summit would take their time, finding the right director. “The Golden Compass” was a terrible failure and that film didn’t look good at all. Weitz will probably fuck up “New Moon” too. I hope he makes the sequel better than the first but I doubt it.

BREAKING NEWS: Catherine Hardwicke WILL NOT direct “New Moon”!!!

Leave a comment

Female director; Catherine Hardwicke, who directed “Twilight”, has parted ways with Summit Entertainment, that she will NOT direct the sequel, “New Moon”. Although, the film was very successful and pulled in $138.6 million, the reason for Hardwicke not doing the next film is that she wanted to rush it. She wanted the film done quickly. Summit Entertainment did not want that.

Summit wanted to take their time with the sequel “New Moon” because the next one will require a lot of CGI work, due to the werewolves being the main thing about the film. Summit did not fire her. They do not have any negative grudges. It was a decision agreed with the both of them.

Melissa Rosenberg; however, is still the writer.

This is great news actually. While I did like the “Twilight” film, I’ll admit that the film still needed a lot of work and I felt it was rushed.

They should get a male director for the next one. They should get a horror director that knows a lot about vampires and werewolves since “New Moon” will have both.

Summit should give “New Moon” to M. Night Shyamalan to direct. You know that director for “The Sixth Sense”, “Unbreakable” and “Signs”? Sam Raimi isn’t a bad choice either.

Give the Twilight series to a really good male director to improve the franchise. Especially if they’re going to use a lot of CGI for “New Moon” like they said, getting a male director is the best thing to do. Male directors know the CGI stuff more than the women directors.

Looking forward to see who the director is going to be.  Hope it’s somebody good! I hope they don’t give it to Bret Ratner, that’s what I’m worried about.

Report: “New Moon” sequel to “Twilight” to start filming this coming March…

Leave a comment

Kristen Stewart revealed on a interview with Ryan Seacrest on his radioshow that the film makers of “Twilight” will start filming the sequel “New Moon” right away this coming March. Summit Entertainment announced a sequel is greenlighted, a script has been written already, and the cast from the first movie is still on board for a sequel, so they aren’t wasting any time and getting right to work.

They will film the “New Moon” movie in Italy because most of the book was taken place there.

Glad they are getting right to work on the sequel. We’ll probably get an early 2011 release for “New Moon”. The second story gets better and more interesting than the first.

Report: “Twilight” sequel already greenlighted, next one will be titled “New Moon”…

8 Comments

Summit Entertainment has already greenlighted the sequel to the highly successful “Twilight” which the next film will be titled “New Moon”, the second book of the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are already set to return to the sequel as well.

“New Moon” centers on Edward Cullen leaving Bella Swan for a long period of time in order to keep her safe and unharmed from other vampires. While he is gone, Bella becomes best friends with Jacob Black which she discovered that he is a werewolf. There will be werewolves in the next sequel. We will see more of Jacob Black and less Edward Cullen.

I’m glad a sequel is in the works this soon. “New Moon” to get either a 2010 or 2011 release? Looks it.

Congrats to Stephenie Meyer.
