Summit Confirms Two Movies For Breaking Dawn
Finally the news we have all been waiting for!! Breaking Dawn will be split into two movies!!! I was so very much hoping that they would be smart about it and do it in two movies, there is no way the very last novel in Stephanie Meyer's Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn, that is 756 pages long would ever be done correctly in just one movie!! Now we just have to attempt to patiently await it arrivals...lol
Summit Entertainment confirmed June 12 ,2010 that the final book in Stephenie Meyer’s vampire series, Twilight: Breaking Dawn, will be separated into two films. This should come as no surprise to films fans, as it’s the same sneaky practise that WB adopted for Harry Potter to double the profits from the last movie in the franchise.
It would be easiest to place blame all this on Peter Jackson. Despite the uphill battle to ensure that The Lord of the Rings was split into three films, it has now become commonplace even for stories that were not split up in the original print form. Jackson won his battle because J.R. Tolkien had split his story into separate books. At the time it seemed to be all about the integrity of the source material.
So, what is the excuse now?
At first I was excited about the prospect of The Hobbit being split into two films, if only because of my excitement about the director chosen at the time when this decision was made. Now that Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth) has removed himself from the project, I am concerned that over-indulgence may plague the loose follow-up to the monumentally successful trilogy. Let’s not forget how Jackson managed to turn King Kong, an 80 minute creature classic, into a three hour spectacle.
With the manner in which the Twilight series seems to have attempted to mirror Harry Potter’s success, the narrative giving vampires magical abilities that are more important than horrific elements often tied to vampire films, the decision to stretch out the series was almost expected. It no longer seems to be a question of integrity to the material, but rather a way of ensuring the most profits are drained out of the trend. When there are a fixed number of sequels available, as is the case in adaptations of a popular book series such as this, the desire to stretch it out inevitably comes when the end of the gold-paved road approaches.
Academy Award winner (i.e. – he should no better!) Bill Condon (Gods and Monsters, Dreamgirls) is set to direct both films, with production beginning in fall.
This announcement comes in anticipation for the release of the third film in the franchise, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, which will inevitably satisfy millions of teenage girls and lonely middle-aged women on June 30th. Part I of The Hobbit is set to be released in 2012, though no director has yet been chosen to replace del Toro, while Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I will be released in November.

Eclipse Soundtrack
The Long awaited soundtrack of the upcoming movie Twilight Saga: Eclipse was release on June 8, 2010.
According to the Reuters wire story:
“The U.S. album chart is finally heating up after a lengthy lackluster spell, with the latest “Twilight” soundtrack set to lead a trio of notable newcomers next week.
“The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” is going up against Christina Aguilera’s first studio release in nearly four years and the latest EP from the cast of the Fox TV show “Glee.”
Industry prognosticators think “Eclipse” will likely debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, with possibly as much as 140,000 to 160,000 copies sold by week’s end on June 13. The last “Twilight” release, “New Moon,” was released on a Friday and sold 115,000 in just three days, debuting at No. 2. In its first full week, it sold 153,000 and moved up to No. 1.
Sources also predict that the “Glee” album, “Journey to Regionals,” might sell around 110,000 to 130,000 while Aguilera’s “Bionic” could move 100,000 to 120,000 copies.”

Stephanie Meyer's Novella: The Short Second Life Of Bree Tanner
Released June 5, 2010 Stephanie Meyers 178 page Eclipse Novella has Hit the Top of the Charts not only here in the US but in the UK as well!
USA Today along with the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and Publishers Weekly are the premier lists that booksellers want their products to appear on. Publishers Weekly and The New York Times subdivide their lists into various subcategories whereas USA Today and the Wall Street Journal throw everybody in together. What often happens, is that it’s very hard to tell how a book is really doing via the New York Times lists (there are over 30 subcategories) and Publishers Weekly (they don’t rate children’s/teen books). In fact the New York Times subdivided its list as a direct response to the Harry Potter books clogging the top spots for over a year. On the other hand you can really see the domination of YA material on the USA Today and Wall Street Journal lists. Last year the Twilight Saga, the Whimpy Kid Series, and the Hunger Games series dominated those lists for weeks.
According to the Guargian.co.uk:
Meyer's The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner, told from the perspective of a newly created vampire, was published in the UK at 5.05am on 5 June and went on to sell almost 90,000 copies that day – taking the number one slot "by a hefty margin", according to book sales monitor Nielsen BookScan. This is despite Meyer making the book available for free online until 5 July.
Bookshops around the country opened early for teenage fans keen to snap up a copy of the novella as early as possible, with fancy dress, vampire makeovers and quizzes laid on in scenes reminiscent of Harry Potter publication days. "People were queuing at our Milton Keynes branch from 4.30am," said Waterstone's spokesman Jon Howells. Copies of the strictly-embargoed book were delivered to Waterstone's Piccadilly branch in a coffin.
"It's our fastest-selling book so far this year and it may be the fastest-selling book of the year ... it will be pretty tough to beat it," Howells said. "It's our biggest book since Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol. Offering it online for free is a nice touch [but] I don't think it's a big deal. Pretty much every Twilight fan will want not just to read it, but also to own it. It's shaping up to be a big 'un."
According to the Bookseller.com, Meyer's opening day sales are only trumped by two authors: JK Rowling, whose final Harry Potter novel holds the record with 3.6m copies sold in its first 24 hours, and Dan Brown, whose latest novel, The Solomon Key, sold over half a million copies in its first five days last year. Meyer's publisher, Little Brown, says it sold a book by the author every two seconds in 2009, with over 100 million copies of her four novels sold worldwide since 2005.
Speaking to fan site The Twilight Saga about her new book, Meyer said that "given all the time in the world and no distractions" she could write a short story for every one of her characters. "Some would turn into novellas and some would turn into novels and some would turn into series," the author said.
Despite this, she's not sure she'll revisit the Twilight world with another "companion story". "Most of these stories don't feel as necessary as Bree's, because Bree's story affects the central story so directly," she said. "It was a lot of fun, though."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although I bought it only 2 days after the release date(only due to money clearing to get it...lol) I have yet to read it...However I'm extremely excited to read it, I have heard nothing but excellent reviews about it! After reading Eclipse and Breaking Dawn both for the 4th time, I was wanting to read my Sookie Stackhouse books by Charlaine Harris due to her new release Dead in the Family and also to recap before season 3 started so I am 1/2 way through the 5th book and once I am done I will take a break to read Bree Tanner before I conitnue with my Sookie Books. I have way to many Vampire obsessions...lmao

True Blood S3 Spoiler
The TV Guide Mega Buzz was very generous to us this week in giving a lil upcoming Season 3 spoiler:
Give me a good tease about True Blood’s new season. — Holly
MICKEY: Zeljko Ivanek (aka the best guest star of everything) returns as the Magister, and he’s cracking down on the illegal V trade in Louisiana. This is a problem for the Queen, since she’s tacitly allowing it, and for Eric and Pam, since they’re running it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now if you remember in one of the Trailers, we do see the Queen making a visit to Fangtaisia to see Eric, So This should be an interesting twist into the plot with the Queen's Involvement in forcing her subjects to make Illegal dealings that could have very grave consequences!!!

New Promo Pics and a few Spoilers For Vampire Diaries Season 2
------------------------------------------------------------------
In season 2, the Stefan/Elena/Damon will evolve into a Stefan/Katherine/Elena/Damon quadrangle and surprisingly it will be Stefan, NOT Damon, who will be the most affected by Katherine's return: it will turn out he's not as over her as he thought he was. Elena will come to come to terms with the fact that she may have developed feelings that are more than friendly towards Damon. Damon, on the other hand, will be busy devising a plan with the Council of the Founding Fathers to take down Katherine.
And yes, werewolves will be introduced next season and one of them (probably Tyler?) will connect with a certain witch (Bonnie?) while trying to deal with how to cope with their supernatural abilities
------------------------------------------------------------------
THE VAMPIRE DIARIES: Next season, the appearance of the villainous Katherine in Mystic Falls throws a wrench into the love triangle between Stefan, Elena and Damon, and the other residents of Mystic Falls must choose sides as they fall victim to a new breed of danger. New and unexpected friendships will be forged, allies will become enemies, and hearts will be broken. Stefan and Damon will be forced to face a villain more evil and diabolical than they ever believed possible. And they’ll take their shirts off. Frequently.

Isabella "Bella" Swan
Isabella Marie "Bella" Swan (later Bella Cullen) is a fictional character and the protagonist of the Twilight series, written by Stephenie Meyer. The Twilight series, consisting of the novels Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn, is primarily narrated from Bella's point-of-view.
In Twilight, Bella moves to her father's home in Forks, Washington, meets the mysterious Cullen family, and falls in love with Edward Cullen. However, she soon discovers that the family is a coven of vampires. Bella expresses a desire to become a vampire herself, against Edward's wishes. In the second novel, New Moon, Edward and the other Cullens leave Forks in an effort to keep Bella safe from the vampire world. Jacob Black, a member of the Quileute tribe who is also a shape shifter taking a wolf form, comforts the distraught and severely depressed Bella. She comes to care deeply for Jacob, though less than she loves Edward. In Eclipse, Bella becomes engaged to Edward, and they marry in Breaking Dawn. Edward then transforms Bella into a vampire after she nearly dies giving birth to their daughter, Renesmee
------------------------------------------------------------------
Twilight
Twilight is about a seventeen-year-old girl named Bella Swan, who moves from her mother's home in Phoenix, Arizona, to live with her father in her birthtown of Forks, Washington. There, she becomes intrigued by a student, Edward Cullen. When Edward saves her life, he exhibits super-human qualities. Bella learns from family friend Jacob Black that Quileute legends say the Cullen family are vampires.[3] Edward eventually admits to this truth, though his family hunts only animals, not humans, through moral choice.[4] Edward constantly warns Bella against being with him, perceiving her life to be at constant risk if she continues to associate with him because the scent of her blood is more powerful to him than that of any other human he has ever encountered. Bella's love and confidence in Edward's restraint is such that his warnings go unheeded, and on an outing with the Cullens she becomes the target of a sadistic vampire, James. With his family's help, Edward is able to save Bella from James' predations, but Edward is still unwilling to change Bella into a vampire himself.
New Moon
New Moon begins with Bella's eighteenth birthday. During a party at the Cullens, she gets a small paper cut while opening a present. Edward's brother, Jasper, instinctively hungering for her blood, tries to attack her. Edward realizes that his relationship with Bella puts her in danger. In a misguided attempt to protect Bella, he convinces her that he no longer loves her and moves away with his family, leaving her heartbroken and depressed for months.
To appease her worried father, Bella goes to a movie with her friend Jessica. While there, she carelessly approaches a group of rough-looking men outside a bar and discovers she can hear Edward's voice when in dangerous situations. Desperate to hear his voice again, Bella seeks out danger; she asks Jacob Black to repair two motorcycles and teach her to ride one. Their friendship grows to be very strong, and Jacob admits that he has romantic feelings for Bella, though she does not reciprocate this. When a vampire named Laurent tries to attack her, Bella is saved by a pack of giant wolves. Later, Bella learns that Jacob and other tribe members are shape shifters who assume a wolf form to protect humans from vampires. Bella also discovers that the vampire Victoria has returned to Forks seeking to kill Bella to avenge her mate, James', death.
To hear Edward's voice, Bella attempts cliff-diving and nearly drowns, but she is saved by Jacob. Edward, after being mistakenly informed by Rosalie that Bella has committed suicide, travels to Volterra, Italy, to request the Volturi to destroy him. Alice returns to Forks and discovers Bella is alive; she and Bella pursue Edward to Italy and successfully prevent him from showing himself in daylight to humans, an act that would result in his execution. The trio are taken to the Volturi. Because Bella knows about vampires, the Volturi want to kill her, but Alice claims she has foreseen Bella becoming a vampire. Because most humans are unaware that vampires exist, the Volturi threaten to kill Bella if this does not happen soon. Upon returning home, Edward reveals to Bella that he never stopped loving her, he only left Forks because he thought it would protect Bella. He apologizes for this misguided action and asks for her forgiveness, which Bella quickly grants. Bella, intent on becoming a vampire, decides that Edward's family should vote on her fate. All but Rosalie and Edward vote affirmatively for her to be changed, but Edward agrees to change her himself if she will marry him first.
Eclipse
Eclipse continues the drama of Bella and Edward's relationship. Edward explains that he is reluctant to change Bella into a vampire because he believes that vampires are soulless creatures who have no place in heaven. Bella, whose opinion of marriage is jaded by her own parents' early divorce, agrees to marry Edward on the condition that he will make love to her while she is still human and then turn her into a vampire. He initially refuses, saying that he could easily lose control in the heat of the moment and unintentionally kill her. However, seeing how important it is to Bella, he agrees to try, but only after they are married.
The plot is driven by the machinations of the vampire Victoria, who first encountered Bella and the Cullens during the first book, Twilight. Victoria, seeking to avenge her mate, James', death, hunts Bella while building a new vampire army. To combat this threat, a grudging truce is struck between the Cullens and the Native American shape-shifting wolf pack led by Sam Uley and Jacob Black, who pits himself against Edward as a love interest for Bella. Initially, Bella considers Jacob only as a friend but, despite her engagement to Edward, she shares a kiss with Jacob and realizes she loves him as well. Ultimately, Edward accepts Bella's love for Jacob and successfully destroys Victoria. Bella acknowledges that Edward is the most important person in her life, agreeing to announce their engagement to her father.
Breaking Dawn
Near the beginning of Breaking Dawn, Bella marries Edward. They spend their honeymoon on Isle Esme, a fictional small island that was given to Esme as a gift from Carlisle. They consummate their marriage, but their lovemaking sparks a conflict between the newlywed couple: Edward is horrified that he has bruised his wife, but Bella insists that she is fine and wants Edward to make love to her again. He vows not to do so again while she is still human, but he eventually gives in. Soon afterwards, Bella becomes very sick and realizes that she is pregnant with Edward's child.
Edward is shocked and rushes Bella home to see Carlisle, who, as a doctor, confirms that she is expecting a child. Edward goes half-crazy with worry as the rapidly growing fetus begins to drain Bella's health, and he tries to coerce her into having an abortion to save her own life. However, Bella feels a bond with her unborn child and insists on giving birth. Soon, Edward comes to love the baby as well, after he hears its thoughts and learns that the baby loves Bella in return and doesn't mean to hurt her.
Bella nearly dies giving birth, but Edward successfully delivers their baby girl and then injects his venom into her heart, thus healing her wounds by turning her into a vampire. During Bella's painful transformation, Jacob imprints —an involuntary process in which a werewolf finds his soul mate— on the baby, Renesmee Cullen.
After a vampire named Irina mistakes Renesmee for an immortal vampire child (a creation that is forbidden in the vampire world), the Volturi arrive to destroy the Cullens as punishment for the alleged transgression. Edward stands with Bella and their allies to convince the Volturi that Renesmee is not an immortal child and poses no threat to their existence. Once the Volturi leave, Edward and Bella are finally free to live their lives in peace with their daughter
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Characterization
Physical appearance
Bella is described in the novels as being very pale with brown hair, chocolate brown eyes, and a heart-shaped face. Beyond this, a detailed description of her appearance is never given in the series. Stephenie Meyer explains that she "left out a detailed description of Bella in the book so that the reader could more easily step into her shoes." While Meyer stresses that "Bella's looks are open to interpretation", she does supply her own personal interpretation on her website, describing Bella as:
"very fair-skinned, with long, straight, dark brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. Her face is heart-shaped—a wide forehead with a widow's peak, large, wide-spaced eyes, prominent cheekbones, and then a thin nose and a narrow jaw with a pointed chin. Her lips are a little out of proportion, a bit too full for her jaw line. Her eyebrows are darker than her hair and more straight than they are arched. She's five foot four inches tall, slender but not at all muscular, and weighs about 115 pounds. She has stubby fingernails because she has a nervous habit of biting them."
Bella also has a small crescent-shaped scar on her hand where she was bitten by James, a tracker vampire, in Twilight. The scar is described as being pale, always a few degrees colder than the rest of her body, and sparkles slightly.
After Bella is changed into a vampire by Edward Cullen in Breaking Dawn, in keeping with the appearance of most vampires, she becomes more attractive, her eyes turn red, and her already pale skin becomes even whiter.
Personality traits and abilities
Bella is described as being clumsy and stubborn. She has a private mind, which is thought to be why Edward is unable to hear her thoughts. She is also said to be a terrible liar, but occasionally demonstrates good acting ability. Bella becomes faint when she smells blood, though this no longer bothers her once she becomes a vampire. Stephenie Meyer has stated that Bella's "tragic flaw" in Eclipse is her lack of self-knowledge. After being turned into a vampire, she describes having a much clearer view of the world. She is also very self-controlled, being able to ignore the scent of human blood on her first hunting trip. Bella's private mind that was able to repel some vampires' mental abilities while she was human evolved after she became a vampire; her skill strengthened, allowing her to shield herself and those around her from other vampires' mind control. By the end of Breaking Dawn, she is able to cast the shield away from herself. She is also described by Edward as "very graceful", even for a vampire, in comparison to her earlier clumsiness.
Film portrayal
In the film adaptations, Bella is portrayed by actress Kristen Stewart. Meyer stated that she was "very excited" to see Stewart play the part and that she was "thrilled to have a Bella who has practice [in a vast array of film genres]", since, according to Meyer, Twilight has moments that fit into many genres.

Mitchell, knowing just how cruel these "cures" really are, aims to save his friends from Kemp's macabre experiments. But, as his heart blackens with rage and fury, can his friends save him from himself? And how will he react when he's face to face with Lucy, the lover who betrayed him?
And, as death's door opens for her again, is this really the end of Annie?
