The Delivery 3D Trailer [R-rated]

The Delivery 3D | MySpace Video


From Myspace.com:

A couple of months ago, Peter Facinelli announced that he had filmed a pitch trailer for The Delivery (the first in a planned trilogy) with Dave Stewart, and he went on to discuss his plans for the project.
Said Facinelli, “We just had a finished script, and I brought the project to Dave Stewart. He’s a friend of mine, and he loved it.”
Today, Facinelli launched the film’s first official website and included the pitch trailer for the project.
“We shot a 3-D pitch trailer, so we’re hoping to do [the film] in 3-D. We shot some footage … we basically put together a little scene from the movie … and now we’re just gearing up to go out to studios with it and try to get studio backing and make the picture. So, we don’t have a director set, or a studio attached,” he revealed in September.

::Team Edward:: Enough with the Rumors of Rob as Spiderman!

I have to share my thoughts and displace the rumor flying all over the internet that Robert Pattinson will play Peter Parker/Spider-Man since the former star Toby Maguire has stepped away from the franchise.

MTv.com has clarrified the rumor and found for us where this all began. Reelz Channel announced this rumor as fact about nine months ago, when they quoted then director Sam Raimi of the Spider-Man Movies as saying, "Robert is the future of the franchise." It was soon revealed that the April 1 post was nothing but a joke — a cruel joke. It can only be assumed that Reelz and the other sites are kicking themselves for having reported this as news and seeing how ridiculously far this has gone.

I hope that with this, everyone will stop reporting the rumor, talking about it or imagining Rob in red tights...well I can imagine that, but that's for my own fantasies.

::Team Edward:: Exclusive Stills From 'Remember Me'

Summit Entertainment has released four new stills, three of those including Robert Pattinson, from the movie 'Remember Me' to Trailer Park on MySpace. I know I was in need of a Rob fix and these pictures do not disappoint.

In the romantic drama 'Remember Me' Robert Pattinson plays Tyler, a rebellious young man in New York City who has a strained relationship with his father (Pierce Brosnan) ever since tragedy separated their family. Tyler didn’t think anyone could possibly understand what he was going through until the day he met Ally (Emilie de Ravin) through an unusual twist of fate. Love was the last thing on his mind, but as her spirit unexpectedly heals and inspires him, he begins to fall for her. Through their love, he begins to find happiness and meaning in his life. But soon, hidden secrets are revealed, and the circumstances that brought them together slowly threaten to tear them apart. Remember Me is an unforgettable story about the power of love, the strength of family, and the importance of living passionately and treasuring every day of one’s life. 'Remember Me' also stars Academy Award® winner Chris Cooper (Adaptation), and Academy Award® nominee Lena Olin (Chocolat).

::Team Emmett:: Kellan Lutz & Paul Wesley on the Fearless Males Cosmo Cover . DROOL!!

For its 2010 Fun Fearless Male Awards, Cosmopolitan tapped two of our favorite vamps—"New Moon" star Kellan Lutz and "Vampire Diaries" star Paul Wesley —to headline its February issue (Anna Faris is on the main cover) on newsstands now. And as it turns out, the two were already buds having know each other since Kellan moved to L.A. about five years ago. In fact, they recently did some bonding on the sets of their respective bloodsucking projects.
"When we were shooting the pilot for 'Vampire Diaries,' Kellan was filming 'Twilight' in Vancouver as well," Paul said. "And so they were all staying at the same hotel. We actually ended up hanging out a bunch of times. I was kind of like, this is either really lame or really cool that we're all hanging out. I was like, what is this? Like some sort of vampire gathering where we trade secrets?"

We can only wonder if Kellan passed along a few dating tips as well, seeing as the guy's obviously got game. "I love that stuff," Kellan replied when asked if he was a romantic. "I dated one girl in elementary school 11 times. Her mom kept making her break up with me, but I always went to the dollar store and bought her a rose and then a necklace. I thought it was real gold for a dollar.

Ashley Greene was interviewed by co-star Michael Sheen (who plays Aro in New Moon) for Interview Magazine.

Sheen shows his fantastic sense of humor in the questions and Ashley is quick with the one-liners. Soon the interview goes from silliness to wonderful in-depth questions about her life growing up in Jacksonville, FL to her up an coming career. Ashley tells of the decision & her parent's support in moving to L.A. at age 17 to follow her dream to be a performer. Ashley describes going for the audition for Twilight without a script and choosing to read the books to prepare. She says that she fell in love with the series and became more determined to land a role in the movie. She goes on to share her thoughts on the phenomenon that is Twilight and the amazing fans that have supported her & her career, even those that cry and get nervous at the sight of her.

Ashley spoke about how she believes that her fans had a part in her being cast in the lead for a new film, The Apparition. She was quoted saying, "But, you know, most of my fans are really respectful and great. It’s too early for me to be jaded. Ask me in 10 years or something. . . . I just booked a lead in a Warner Brothers film, and probably part of it was because they know that there are all these fans. I mean, hopefully it’s because of my talent, too."

Yes, I believe as a fan myself, that it is her talent & I will watch in the years to come as Ashley will make it big in Hollywood and her fans will be there to support her every step of the way.

::Team RESPECT:: The Quileute Nation to receive apology for MSN desecration of sacred grounds.(UPDATED)

Hey Sparkly Ones, 
It is a very rare occasion that I will report on something involving the FICTIONAL Quileute tribe but this story is stomach turning and is, unfortunately, NOT fiction.  We are all Twilight Fans and I don't think any one of us would want to see a video that desecrates the culture and the tradition of the REAL Quileute Nation.  As a Twi-Hard I'm appalled by this.  If you want to express your outrage to msn.com you can email your objections here:  FEEDBACK TO MSN.COM
I think the Twi-Hard Nation needs to come to the aid of the Quileute Nation and plainly say WE DO NOT WANT THIS.  I think MSN should donate a HUGE sum of money to the Quileute Reservation School and Health Clinic to make this outrageous breach of their culture right!



xxoo Lisa



LAPUSH -- MSN.com is set to offer a public apology to the Quileute tribe today for a video shot on Stephenie Meyer Weekend in September that showed unapproved filming on the reservation -- including scenes of the cemetery and graves, said tribal spokeswoman Jackie Jacobs.

Jacobs said she was first alerted to the video on Nov. 12 -- just two days before she and tribal council members left for the Los Angeles premiere of "The Twilight Saga: New Moon."

"It was such a bittersweet trip because I found out just two days before, and I knew I would be going to this huge celebration and would have to sit down and tell the council about it," Jacobs said.

"I couldn't really reiterate verbally or adequately convey what those images were like."

The film crew shot images of the Tribal Council building, totem poles, First Beach, the Senior Center and the Quileute Cemetery.

The film was set to dark music -- described by Jacobs as "macabre" -- and was filmed in an amateur documentary style.


Grave of chief

Repeatedly zooming in and out on a grave of a Quileute tribal chief -- who Jacobs did not name -- also added to the dark, suspenseful nature of the short film.

"As a native woman, I was astounded and sick to my stomach -- especially knowing I was the person who would have to tell the family about this," Jacobs said.

When Jacobs spoke with MSN on Nov. 12, it took the video down within minutes, she said.

Jacobs said the filmmakers had contacted the Forks Chamber of Commerce for permission to film points of interest for a virtual Twilight tour.

Meyer is the author of the Twilight series; she was not associated with the MSN project.

She said no one at the tribe was contacted for permission to film on the reservation.

"Anyone who is conducting business on our sovereign nation should go through the proper channels," she said.

Her contact information as well as the tribal numbers appear on the Web site www.quileutenation.org, she said.

Pain and suffering

"This situation has caused an enormous amount of pain and suffering to the Quileute Nation as a whole, but especially to the descendants of the Quileute chief," she said.

"An apology will never erase that hurt.

"Besides heartbreak, I was in shock and perplexed that an organization that presents itself as culturally sensitive and aware to indigenous people's plights all over the world could make such an egregious choice in their own backyards."

Jacobs said the tribe plans to work with MSN, which will produce a series of educational videos that the tribe can use to teach about its culture.

"We need to use the situation as an educational opportunity to teach the world how to conduct themselves when visiting a sovereign nation," said Carol Hatch, Quileute tribal chairwoman.

Among the etiquette guidelines the tribe posted on its site http://www.quileutenation.org/indian-country-etiquette is: "Burial grounds and religious ceremonies are sacred and are not to be entered."

"You can't really erase these situations," Jacobs said.

"But you can utilize it as an educational platform."

::Team Breaking Dawn:: Stephenie Meyer Says There Is No Drama

Stephanie Meyer has made a public statement on her website answering the rumors that came forth yesterday stating that she and Summit were having creative differences over whether "Breaking Dawn" should be one movie. The following is her note to the fans directly from her website:

"Just a quick note on the subject of the Breaking Dawn film: there is no drama over whether the book should be one movie or two. My personal feeling is that it would be very difficult to cram the whole story into one movie (as I've said in many interviews previous to this), but if a great way of doing that surfaces, I'm all for it. Two or one, whichever way fits the story best is fine by me, and everyone I've spoken with at Summit seems to feel the same way. We're all excited to move forward on this, and we are slowly and surely getting there. I know people are anxious for news, and so sometimes gossip get fabricated to stir things up, but there's no basis to this particular story.

::Team Breaking Dawn:: Stephenie Meyer OPPOSED to spliting Breaking Dawn

It's a new year, a new decade, and time for more "Twilight" drama! Surprisingly enough, this time it doesn't involve any of the cast members or crew, but instead the big moguls behind the series itself. E! Online's Ted Casablanca reports news from his Deep Twi that Stephenie Meyer and Summit Entertainment still having disputes over whether "Breaking Dawn" should be one film or two, which is what is causing production on the final installment of the film series to be at a standstill.

"Both sides have very different agendas," Ted reports his mole as saying.

Apparently Stephenie doesn't think two movies is the right thing to do "creatively" for the series (and neither do we), while Summit wants to milk its cash cow for all it's worth. Things haven't gotten dirty yet, but the way "Deep Twi" describes it, all the pressure is on Stephenie.

"They keep trying to persuade her it's the right thing to do artistically. They're constantly waiting for her input," the source is reported to have said.

At this time last year, after the success of "Twilight," shooting for "New Moon" was already underway and a director for "Eclipse" was being picked. Now, "New Moon" has already been released and "Eclipse" is in the editing room, but there hasn't even been a director picked out for "Breaking Dawn." "Eclipse" is set to hit theaters in five months, and if some major steps haven't been made in film production by then, Summit and Stephenie are going to have a lot of angry, anxious fans on their hands.

::Team Breaking Dawn:: Summit Speaks. FINALLY! Chris Weitz not looking good for BD.

Summit on Breaking Dawn: No decision on how many films, “don’t think” Weitz directsAmong the many topics discussed here on this blog, and especially on my Twitter, are questions about The Twilight Saga. More specifically, "what's the deal with Breaking Dawn?" I've avoided saying too much here because most of the information being posted (leaked) has been nothing but rumors and speculation. But thanks to the astute Los Angeles Times' writer Gina McIntyre, we may have some bonafide facts.

Let's get right to the bottom line: McIntyre spoke directly with the film's producer Wyck Godfrey, who is stating publicly that no decision has yet been made as to whether or not the Breaking Dawn novel will be split into two scripts (and two movies) or one. But we've heard that before. What is news, though, is that he is all but confirming that New Moon director Chris Weitz will NOT be back to helm Breaking Dawn, one film or two. He's also confirming that the three stars are on board and the plan is to begin shooting this fall in Vancouver.

"I think everyone would be happy and excited if he came back, but I don't think it's going to happen," Godfrey told The Times. "But right now we're just focused on the treatment and getting that right. At that point, we're going to see who's available and who's appropriate. It's such a complicated book because you have the emotions and the intensity of the love story -- so you need somebody who's just a wonderful director of actors -- and yet it's really complicated from an action and visual effects standpoint. They've got to have both tools in their kit."

As for breaking up Breaking Dawn into two films, "It's a work in process," said Godfrey. "The issue [of whether there will be one or two movies] is not going to be resolved until we get the full treatment and see whether it's organic. If it's not organic, I don't think it will be done, and if it is, it will be. It really has to do with how much level of detail from the books there is, with all of these new vampires that appear in Breaking Dawn, the whole section about Jacob...It's a very long single movie if it does become a single movie."

The three principal actors, Kristen Stewart, Rob Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner have apparently completed their negotiations and are "signed," indicating that Summit may have brokered a deal which would cover either one or two movies. Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg is back on board and hard at work on what will be either one or two films, but whatever the outcome, Breaking Dawn will be made "with an eye toward beginning to shoot in Vancouver this fall."

My own sources have confirmed the information contained in McIntyre's article.

::Team Carlisle:: Peter Facinelli On Keeping His Twitter 'Pure': 'I Don't Want To Sell My Followers'

Peter Facinelli tells Access Hollywood about keeping his Twitter pure and not selling his followers anything. He does not intent to use this outlet for commercial use.

He was quoted saying, "It's a great way to share information with them and it's also a great way to entertain, I like being able to put a smile on people's faces and I like being able to also mix that up with sharing information with them that's important and also letting them know what I'm doing. I mean I've had people come to me and say, 'Hey, will you Tweet this out?' There's like paid advertisement stuff. I'm not into that. I like to keep my Twitter pure. I don't want to sell my followers anything."

Suddenly, I realized the family had it wrong. I had it wrong. Jasper was not attacking me and Edward was not protecting me. AU OOC Rated M to be safe –

The Authors first story, but you wouldn’t know it…incredibly written. A Team Jasper story that is unique & not following the same story line as most J/B stories I have recently encountered. Enjoy!

Forkspixie recommends Jack Johnson - Angel to go with this story!

::Team Edward:: RPattz to star in Comic Book

Robert Pattinson to star in comic book. Coventry Telegraph is reporting that Robert Pattinson is going to be one of the celebrities to star in a new comic book series titled "Fame". Lady Gaga is to kick off a new comic book series revolving around the lives of pop culture icons.

Future issues of Bluewater's "Fame" series will focus on various stars such as Robert Pattinson, 50 Cent, David Beckham and Taylor Swift.

“Fame gives us the ability to tell more interesting stories about a wider variety of notable personalities. Conversely, it allows us to focus the scope of our other biography titles to more socially and political important figures.” Davis added. What do you guys think of Robert being a comic book icon? As if he needs any more fame boosters, am I right?
