TwiCast @ The Toronto Film Festival

Twilight Lexicon has a cool new article about the various Twilight Saga castmembers who have projects being featured at the Toronto Film Festival. Check it out -

The Toronto Film Festival opens today. The festival is the early buzzmaker for films with Oscar potential. Slumdog Millionaire walked away with the best film prize last year.  This year who knows?  In any case a number of Twilight actors have films at the festival and are going to be in attendance.

Michael Sheen: Is in The Damned United, and was cited as one of the top ten films to watch at the festival by USA Today. According to USA Today, “This sharply humorous fable of British soccer manager Brian Clough, a real-life specialist at propelling underdog teams to unexpected glory in the ’60s and ’70s, is not just another inspirational sports saga. It’s a cautionary folly of Shakespearean proportions as Clough (Michael Sheen of Frost/Nixon, oozing puddles of pride and over-confidence) takes over onetime rival Leeds and infamously runs the club into the ground in just 44 days. Timothy Spall works his charms as Clough’s less volatile coaching sidekick, while Jim Broadbent and Colm Meaney make blustery foils for the slick-haired Sheen.”

Xavier Samuel:Larry from ProNetworks first broke the story that Xavier wold be at the festival in the film The Loved ones. Larry writes, “So I’m especially thrilled to pass on the news that the Toronto Film Festival has confirmed that Xavier will be attending and I’ll be there to report on the festivities for the International premiere of The Loved Ones. Lovers of genre films generally attend every screening in the Midnight Madness section so this one is sure to sell out quickly. In this debut feature from Aussie director Sean Byrne, a troubled teen’s prom dreams are shattered by a series of painful events that take place under the mirrored disco ball, involving syringes, nails, power drills, and a secret admirer.”

Anna Kendrick: Anna is appearing with George Clooney (George has three films at the festival) in Up in the Air. We talked a bit about that film yesterday and linked to Slash Film, who got a peak a couple of months back, review. Well, it seems that Slash Films isn’t the only outlet that was impressed. According to Thompson on Hollywood, Anna has potential to walk away with the best supporting actress prize.  In a piece of trivia for Twilight fans, Anna is the second youngest person ever nominated for a Tony Award.

This just in from MTV:

Valentine’s Day VS. Remember Me

The Examiner points out that Robert Pattinson’s upcoming film Remember Me will be released on February 12, 2010, the same day that Taylor Lautner’s upcoming film Valentine’s Day will be released.

Twilight fans may or may not face a bit of a conundrum on February 12, 2010. It is the shared date of release for Remember Me and Valentine’s Day.Remember Me stars Robert Pattinson (Edward in The Twilight Saga: New Moon and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse), while Valentine’s Day stars Taylor Lautner (who plays Jacob in the saga).

Both films were shot with the Twilight actors during their off-time between filming New Moon and Eclipse and will be released on the same day – perhaps reanimating some of the Team Edward versus Team Jacob spirit?

One might care to wager that Kristen Stewart’s summer-shot film The Runaways would probably not be slotted for the same release date.

So, if you have to choose (and you just might), which of the two films would you see on February 12, 2010? Does the joint release date hinder your plans to see both at all?

Times Online Interview With Kristen Stewart

Kristen Stewart gave a frank interview to the Times Online talking about Twilight, Adventureland and her career

I think she has a much bigger rack than I have.” Kristen Stewart is pondering her Twilight action figure — the little plastic doll that represents Bella, her character in the film franchise — while checking the proportions of the bust. “I also think she looks much older than me,” she adds, before setting the figure aside. I pick it up and, on closer inspection, the doll does look a little older than its real-life progenitor (as to the “rack”, closer inspection would be inappropriate). “It’s strange,” continues the 19-year-old actress, “but people often think I’m a little bit older than I really am. A French journalist asked me earlier on how my teenage years had affected my later life. I’m still in my teens.” She smiles. “Really, even if I was older, how could my teenage years not have shaped my life? I don’t know how to answer that.”

The French journalist should have done his research, although, to the uneducated observer, Stewart might well seem beyond her years. Her conversation, for example, most certainly belies her age. Not many teenagers are quite as articulate or as self-aware — although not many teenagers are carrying the world’s biggest burgeoning film franchise, the teen vampire series Twilight. With JK Rowling’s much-loved characters pottering into their final big-screen chapter, Twilight will soon stand as the top teen-movie franchise, and with their leading lady, the film-makers have snared a supremely talented and highly intelligent young star.

MTV’s Top 10 Twilight Moments

MTV have decided to make a list of their Top 10 Twilight MTV Moments -

Spunk Ransom Is Born
In one of his first interviews for the “Twilight” franchise, MTV News had nearly an hour alone with the soon-to-be A-lister on the set of the film. Among the many questions we brought him was: “What do you think of your nickname RPattz?” He responded in his usual charming, rambling manner, insisting that he wanted a new nickname: Spunk Ransom. The term has stuck, been officially defined, yielded some very cool “Twilight” merch and is reportedly the easiest way to get a smile out of Rob — er, Spunk — if you should ever meet him.

Don’t Count Out Taylor
Barely a month after “Twilight” opened at the top of the box office, young Taylor Lautner had become the J.D. Salinger of the series — disappearing from the spotlight and leaving many to wonder whether we’d see him again. Just when the consensus among fans seemed to be that his role would be recast with a more physically impressive actor like Michael Copon, we found Taylor at a tiny red-carpet event. Noticeably larger, he revealed that he’d been working out around-the-clock, was about to meet with “New Moon” director Chris Weitz and vowed to return as Jacob. Finally, “Twilight” Nation could breath a sigh of relief.

Kristen’s Near-Death Experience
We all know that Kristen Stewart is a great dramatic actress, but when she said that filming the next film “killed me,” that took it to a whole new level. As KStew’s quotes rocketed around the Web, Twilighters became even more eager to see her “New Moon” performance.

Fach’s Bikini Incident
Peter Facinelli. A one-of-a-kind Twitter bet. A grown man in a bikini dancing down Hollywood Boulevard. Need we say more?

Catherine’s Pimp Pad
Who else but MTV could get exclusive access to Catherine Hardwicke’s house/office, the place where the “Twilight” movie phenomenon began? The affable director generously opened her home and gave us a tour of the backyard where Lautner auditioned, the dining room where KStew read her lines — and the bed where she and RPattz first kissed.

The RPattz Surprise
In May 2008, we held a contest and landed “Twilight” fan Laura Culpepper as our guest correspondent. But what she didn’t know is that we had arranged for Rob himself to tiptoe in behind Laura while she recorded an on-camera segment and give her a sneak peek at “Twilight.” Without a doubt, this is one of the most memorable pieces of video in all the “Twilight” fandom, revealing Rob’s fun side.

Name Those Fans
Once upon a time, an epic battle raged between Twilighters and Twi-Hards over which was the proper name for the fanbase. Since we’re peacemakers as well as journalists, we held an epic poll to settle the matter once and for all. Rob, Kristen and the other stars of the series announced the results — and it’s been Twilighters ever since.

A Special Spoilers Evening
To celebrate the conclusion of all those very special Twilight Tuesdays, MTV gave a few hundred Twilighters the chance to attend a taping of our movie special “Spoilers.” All the stars were there, it was a night to remember, and the show continues on as the renamed “Behind the Screen,” which airs Friday and focuses on films such as “Jennifer’s Body.”

RPattz Needs Undies
Last November, we reunited Rob and Laura for a revealing interview that may have been, well, a bit too revealing. Ever wonder about Rob’s toenails, his parking-ticket troubles or his underwear? Well, then, you need to watch this.

100 Monkeys Hit MTV
As his fans know, the only thing more fun than watching Jackson Rathbone act may be seeing him in concert. Which is why we were eager to go backstage and onstage to watch his band 100 Monkeys perform at a club in Hollywood. Since then, we’ve caught the band again at TwiCon and spoke to him recently about the Monkeys’ plans to score his new movie. Rock on, Jackson!
