TheImproper.com has an article about Twilight’s success, along with a few statements regarding our dear Rob Pattinson.
The low-budget indie flick, which was financed by fledgling film studio Summit Entertainment, was made for just $37 million. Since then, a sequel, New Moon (2009), has been greenlit with a $50 million budget and will start shooting in March 2009. And a third installment, Eclipse (2010), will be shot back-to-back with New Moon, with both films to be released in consecutive years.

E! Online has an article about how ‘Twilight’ was bigger than ‘The Dark Knight’ when it comes to the overall domestic gross as of this past Sunday.
If only Wall Street had bet on Twilight. Or Hannah Montana. Or Kirk Cameron.
With a $167.3 million overall domestic take as Sunday, per Box Office Mojo, Twilight made more than four times its reported $37 million production budget—the best rate of return on any film in the 2008 Top 10, including The Dark Knight.
The Batman epic was a pretty good investment, too, very nearly tripling its gargantuan $185 million budget with a $530.8 million domestic take, Hollywood’s second-biggest ever.
Still, The Dark Knight was nothing compared to these off-the-charts performers: High School Musical 3: Senior Year ($89.7 million), which grossed about eight times its $11 million budget; the Hannah Montana concert movie, which made about nine times its $7 million budget; and Cameron’s Fireproof, which cost $500,000 to produce, and made $33.1 million—or, more than 60 times its budget.

Among Barrett’s nominations are Twi-hard (rhymes with “die hard” and describes a fan of Stephenie Meyer’s bestselling Twilight book series)

Apparently 2008 was the best year ever. Why? Because it was named the “Year of the Vampire” by Reuters. I wonder if Twilight had anything to do with it? Probably not. Not many people have heard of it… HA!
No surprise to tween girls or their parents, the best-selling book was “Breaking Dawn,” also known as the fourth book in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight saga.
I wonder if that means ‘09 will be year of the werewolf? Hmm… Perhaps. Read the full article HERE.

Stephenie’s site has been updated! It includes some of the recognition and kudos she has gotten from various magazines and other awesome people. Year well done, Steph!
December 29, 2008
Since 2008 is almost over, I thought I would take a minute to congratulate Stephenie on a successful year. A lot of very exciting things have happened this year, and it has been fun for those of us who are fans of the writing to follow along.
Several major media outlets have also noted the success, and (as long as I am posting something that Stephenie probably wouldn’t approve of) I thought I would post a few of the links for those of you who haven’t heard about the recognition and praise that she has received for the year of 2008:
TIME’s List of ‘People Who Mattered’
USA TODAY’s ‘Author of the Year’
MSN’s ‘Most Influential Women’
THE ARIZONA REPUBLIC’s ‘Most Fascinating People’
OK, I know that the AZ Republic may not be as big as TIME, but it is a very cool experience to be able to open up the paper and be surprised by an article about a family member, so I thought I would include it. Anyway, congrats, Stephenie, and thanks to everyone for joining us during this crazy and exciting year. We wish you all the best in 2009!–Seth

The UK’s Living TV has an interview with Rob and Kristen in which is discussed the screaming fans, box office success, and building up to on-screen chemistry.
“Sometimes I used to go to Kristen’s bedroom, naked,” reveals Robert. He is, as the grin confirms, joking. “I don’t know,” he continues, pondering the chemistry question a little longer. “It’s funny because for all of the romantic scenes we’re both wearing contact lenses. So much of being an actor is eye contact, and we both had these ‘masks’ on our eyeballs, so we worried that there wouldn’t be any (chemistry).”

No need to get your newborns riled up Twilighters. All of the rumors of a Filipino Twilight TV Show are just that: RUMORS. None of it is true.
There are strong reactions from ‘Twilight” cult fans that a petition for ABS-CBN not to proceed with the project is on-going. The petition centers two issues: ABS-CBN’s lack of ability to do justice to the novel and Rayver not being fit to do the Edward Cullen part. Before they do this, they have to find out first if the buzz is for real or a hoax?
Save the effort and hate words, guys! Buzzbox clarified with ABS-CBN Corporate Communication Head Bong Osorio and after checking with ABS-CBN Television Head Cory Vidanes categorically stated: “There is no plan for ABS-CBN to remake ‘Twilight.’”
See guys? Nothing to worry about! Plus, do you really think Stephenie would have given that the OK? No, she knows how much people would freak. To read the whole thing, just click here.

Robert Pattinson: Five Fun Facts
Robert Pattinson was often taken advantage of by his older siblings. “Up until I was 12 my sisters used to dress me up as a girl and introduce me as ‘Claudia’!” the actor told the BBC. Robert Pattinson became known to his fans as ‘Spunk Ransom’ after admitting he disliked his name. “I hate any reference to my name,” he told MTV. “I wish people would just completely invent a new one.” ’Spunk Ransom’ was Pattinson’s suggested alternative. Robert Pattinson, who plays piano and guitar, has two songs featured in Twilight. “I cried the first time I heard the two songs,” director Catherine Hardwicke told MTV. “They’re deep; they’re very soulful.” While filming Twilight, Robert Pattinson injured himself on his very first shot. “I wasn’t even doing a stunt. I was just trying to pick up Kristen [Stewart] and I almost tore my hamstring because I hadn’t been doing enough squats,” the actor told the Los Angeles Times. “It was very embarrassing.” While on the Twilight set, an enthusiastic fan asked a crew member to bring her baby on set and have Robert Pattinson take a photo with the child. “So there’s a photo of me like biting a baby’s head,” he said.

New Moon the movie has made Fandango’s list of some of the most anticipated movies of the new year. The great part is that there is a list made by men and women, and both guys and gals are anticipating the film.
But we can’t forget that this list was affected heavily by current news, for example, all the news about New Moon and Catherine Hardwicke being replaced made that a popular choice. Additionally, Fandango has divided the list up via women and men, which gives us a better look at what might be the biggest movies of 2009.

Twilight made the list of Yahoo Movies’ Top Ten Box Office Movies of 2008! It came in at No. 9. Remember, the list was based on how much money the movie made at the box office, not how good it was. Coming in at # 9 is pretty amazing for coming out at the end of the year. So awesome job everyone for making it one of the most grossing of the year! :]
Fueled by an enthusiastic fanbase, Stephanie Meyer’s hit literary phenomenon jumped from the page to the big screen to take a bite out of the annual box office, grabbing the number 9 spot during the last weeks of the year.
