Gallery Update - Taylor on Cover of GQ
20 Jul 2010
As most of you already know, Taylor was on the cover of GQ for the month of July. Here are some of the photos posted on GQ and a snippet of the article:
It is March 27, and I am inching down the red carpet at Nickelodeon's annual Kids' Choice Awards—embedded with Taylor Lautner, Twilight's boy werewolf, now reportedly the highest-paid teenage actor in Hollywood. He's one of the highest-paid actors period, having just signed a $7.5 million deal to play Stretch Armstrong in a big-screen take on a toy no one has seen in thirty years. Lautner's regular security guard, a professional badass, notices me flinching at the shrieking. He smiles: "On the New Moon tour, I took Advil. Preventively."
Lautner—dressed in a wool blazer over a white V-neck T-shirt (both gifts from the designer Neil Barrett), his dark hair shellacked into a skyward-pointing spear—seems unfazed. Is it always like this? I ask. So he tells me about Brazil. How he and his Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart were trapped in a hotel suite when hundreds of teenage fans stormed the lobby, outwitted security, and charged the stairs to get to them. "We were in lockdown in this little room for forty-five minutes waiting for the SWAT team to arrive," Lautner says, his eyes wide. "We said to each other, 'Let's say they get into this room. What are they going to do? Tear us to shreds? What do they want?' "

Dazzling Twilight Gets A Fresh New Look
20 Jul 2010
Well it's about time, we have FINALLY posted a brand new layout at Dazzling Twilight! What do you guys think? The last layout was posted for almost 10 months! Kind of ridiculous. To be honest, I am not fully in love with this one, but a change was so badly needed I whipped this one together and just wanted to get something up. The color scheme was inspired by the meadow with blues, greens, and light purples. Hope you all enjoy it for now!

Ashley Greene in ELLE Magazine
19 Jul 2010
Ashley Greene was recently in a photo shoot at ELLE Magazine. Below you can see the behind-the-scenes video of Ashley in the "gothy photoshoot", but click here to get a preview of photos from the shoot!
In her now-immortal novel Twilight, Stephenie Meyer describes Alice Cullen, sister of tween dream Edward, as a “devastatingly, inhumanly beautiful” pixie vampire with “obsidian eyes” and an “exquisite, elfin face.” Most actors would rather not admit that casting decisions were based on anything other than their craft, but 23-year-old Ashley Greene—who brought Alice to life in The Twilight Saga: New Moon and this summer’s Eclipse and is signed on for next year’s Breaking Dawn—has no such illusions. “Yes, I’m very thankful that Stephenie Meyer wrote a character that I happen to look like,” says Greene with a laugh. Given the series’ rabid “Twihard” fan base—legions of whom were locked in long before the film’s first scene was shot—if Greene hadn’t been an eerily perfect fit for Alice, the filmmakers would have heard about it. “The fans were already there,” Greene says. “Before they knew Ashley Greene, they knew Alice Cullen, and they all had an idea of how she looked.”

Eclipse Finishes 3rd Weekend With $13.5M, Approaches $265M Domestic
19 Jul 2010
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse finished fourth in its third weekend, taking in an estimated $13.5M from 4,001 locations with a per theater average of $3,374 for the Friday-Sunday period. This represents a decrease of 57.4% from the previous weekend of July 9-11. The film's domestic cumulative total is now $264.9M through its first 19 days of release.
Topping the charts was Inception, which opened with $60.4M. Despicable Me was next with $32.734M followed by The Sorcerer's Apprentice with $17.373M. Adding in the latest foreign box office of $219M gives the film a new worldwide cumulative total of $483.9M.
The daily breakdown, with percent change from the previous day, includes Friday's $4.5M for a per theater average of $1,125 (+30.8%), Saturday's $5.1M for a per theater average of $1,275 (+13.3%), and Sunday's $3.9M for a per theater average of $975 (-23.5%). Overall, the 3-day weekend of July 16-18 was down 48.5% from the 3-day weekend of July 2-4.
For those comparing the films in The Twilight Saga, it should be noted that New Moon dropped 64% in its third weekend. In cumulative domestic totals over time, at this point in its release history (after 19 days) New Moon had taken in $257,469,075. Eclipse is now at $264.9M. Both films hit the $250M mark on the 16th day.

'Eclipse': Behind The New And Improved Wolves
11 Jul 2010
If you’ve seen The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, odds are you left raving about the wolves — particularly the scene in which Jacob, in wolf form, saddles up to Bella during the training sequence. It’s one of the moments Phil Tippett — a two-time Oscar winner for Jurassic Park and Return of the Jedi whose visual effects house, Tippett Studio, handled the wolves for both Eclipse and New Moon — is most proud of. “That was an unusual thing for us in that most of the time, we are doing these ‘god awful animals start tearing each other apart,’” Tippett told us recently, phoning from England where he’d just celebrated Ray Harryhausen’s 90th birthday. “So it was great to have a quiet moment. A tender scene that telegraphs a budding and suppressed relationship was tricky. In fact, the entire training sequence was difficult in that the wolves do nothing. A bunch of wolves standing around watching vampires train and trying to portend some kind of anxiety was tricky. It’s tricky for any actor when you have to carry a certain part of the scene where you do nothing, because you have to figure out a way of filling up the nothing with something.”
It was important to Eclipse director David Slade that Taylor Lautner actually film that scene with Kristen Stewart so she was able to establish eye contact with him instead of with a golf ball that could’ve been used as an eyeline and painted out later. The wardrobe department dressed Lautner in a neutral grey leotard and hoodie — primarily so his skin tone wouldn’t bounce back onto Stewart and create lighting issues when Wolf Jacob was added, Tippett says. We, however, like to believe someone was already thinking about the DVD extras. That will be great, won’t it?
The tender moment was made more challenging by the fact that Slade had a different vision of the wolves than New Moon director Chris Weitz. For starters, Weitz wanted the wolves to have their actor’s eyes. “He kind of wanted the performance to feel like the wolf behavior was being filtered through a human brain,” Tippett says. Slade wanted the wolves to have wolf eyes to de-anthropomorphize them. “David wanted the performances to be more feral, twitchy, and agitated. He wanted to see wolves that were more photographically representational, which had to do with things like getting more hair follicles, making the paws smaller.”
The believability of the wolves was equally crucial in the climactic fight sequence with the newborn vampire army. “We had to come up with a rationale for what happens when a 1,300-pound wolf that’s running 35 miles an hour crashes into a newborn vampire [played by an actor that weighs 165 lbs], how we justify that,” Tippett says. “David allowed us the transgression of saying, ‘Well, let’s just say that the newborns, since they’re not made of human material but some kind of a more marble-like material, have an actual mass of something like 500 pounds, so they have a lower center of gravity.’ And that allowed us to begin thinking about how to make all of that palpable, without thinking that they’re existing in two different physical universes.” Watch a clip of how that action gets put together below.
Which wolves did you prefer: New Moon‘s or Eclipse‘s?
