David Slade, who’s been chosen as the director of Eclipse (click here for a link to Summit Entertainment’s website), has written an official email for the Twilight fans to address their concerns over some negative comments he made in regards to Twilight.

Here’s the email which he sent to Twilight Lexicon (in his own words and unedited):

Dear Laura and Lori

I would be grateful if you could distribute this statement to the fans of Twilight:I would like to address some statements that I made regarding Twilight.

When I made these comments, I had neither seen the film nor read the books. I was promoting a comedy short film that I had made for Xbox and every pop culture subject was seen as a possible comedy target. I was being silly and none of the statements were from the heart.

Of course, I have since seen the movie and read the books and was quickly consumed with the rich storytelling and the beautifully honest characters that Stephenie Meyer created.

I would like to reassure everyone involved that I am invested in making the best film that I am humanly capable of, and that I am acutely aware of the power of the original books we serve.

Please be rest assured this statement is absolutely from the heart.

yours sincerely

DAVID SLADE”

I hope he means what he said because Eclipse is such a good book. I love the love triangle between Edward, Bella & Jacob  and the fighting scene in the end is going to be really good (if it’s done well…). Anyway, we just have to wait and see.

Amanda Bell from Examiner  has been fortunate enough to interview Paul Morrison, the director of Little Ashes.  There have been quite a few interviews of late given that the movie is being released in the UK and US tomorrow, but I never tire of reading articles about this film.  Especially Paul Morrison’s comments about Rob:

For Lorca and Dali, I must have seen every up-and-coming young actor who was available in both Spain and the U.K. Originally, Rob read for Lorca, and I was going to cast Dali in Spain. But Rob felt so much more a Dali – the combination of acute intelligence and vulnerability and self-consciousness that the part demanded – that I switched, and brought him back to read for Dali. He was perfect. I never saw anyone in Spain who felt right for Dali, by the way.

Paul mentions that Rob’s current fame is good for the film and seems to take a jab at the media by saying it is irritating when they see Rob misquoted or taken out of context (did you take notes there Amanda).  You can read the full article here.

 

On The Red Carpet.Com individually asked Peter Facinelli, Mike Welch, Edi Gathegi and Kellan Lutz what it’s like being constantly questioned about Rob.  Peter and Kellan’s responses are quite funny – again I have to reassess my opinion of Klutz, I already love Peter.  However, the nicest comment comes from Edi (whom I also now like very much, not that I’m being biased).  The interviews are 11 minutes in total and I’m not able to embed so you need to click here to watch (plus it’s late and my brain is dead).  Thanks to Pattinsonlife.

These 5 pictures of Rob on the New Moon set are the same ones that we posted yesterday, but these ones are without the Lainey Gossip watermark (yay!) & are also a little bigger than the original ones.

Thanks to our affiliate ROBsessed & also to Robert Pattinson Source for these pictures.

Okay so I come across this article today in Digital Spy by Alex Fletcher, their “Senior” Entertainment Reporter.  Now clearly Alex must be male (and if he isn’t, then my only explanation is that “she” has been living under a rock for quite some time).  My reasoning for this is that, Alex claims to expose “10 Things You Never Knew About Robert Pattinson”.  Seriously, Alex needs to surf the internet a little more if making claims like that.  I am intrigued and begin reading the article with interest.  Surely enough, I’m shocked by no. 1:

“Robert was born on May 13, 1986. His mum Clare was a modelling agency worker, while his dad Richard imported vintage cars from America.”

How did Alex find out this piece of personal information – it must have been leaked by one of Rob’s relatives!  People have no shame. 

The list continues to reveal more and more information that we (raises eyebrow) couldn’t possibly know about Rob - no. 8 for example:

“As well as being a successful actor, singer and model, Pattinson can also count being a trained scuba diver on his extensive list of talents. He learnt the skill for his role as Cedric Diggory in Hary Potter And The Goblet Fire.”

This Alex is a regular Sherlock Holmes.  Rob I’m laughing with you too – this article better be tongue in cheek (which I doubt), but in case you need to educate yourself about Rob (which I also doubt) or want to test your knowledge, please click here.

This clip is really really short but I know (like me) you will all enjoy seeing it anyways.
