First Look at Bon Ami

Yowza! This is the first official still from the upcoming film Bon Ami with Robert Pattinson and Uma Thurman. Christini Ricci and Kristen Scott Thomas are also in the period film:

“Bel Ami, based on the short story by Guy de Maupassant, is an erotically charged tale of ambition, power and seduction which chronicles the rise of Georges Duroy from poverty into the ‘beau monde’ of 1890’s Paris.

Using his wits and powers of seduction, Duroy moves from a prostitute’s embrace to passionate trysts with wealthy beauties who inhabit where sex is power and celebrity an obsession, and where politics and media jostle for influence.”

Robert Pattinson Gets Bothered on Jimmy Fallon

I was praying he'd do a "Bothered" skit with Jimmy. Robert is such a great sport to climb up in that tree!



Is Jimmy always that nervous with guests, or just ones he's been parodying for months? "Seriously, you were great in Remember Me."

Bothered by Valentine's Day

Robert Pattinson is due to appear on Jimmy Fallon on March 1 to promote Remember Me. Think he'll climb up in the tree and tell us what really bothers him?

It's Official - Breaking Dawn will be Two Films

It's official! According to Nikki Finke of Deadline Hollywood, the deals have been struck to make Breaking Dawn, Stephenie Meyer's longest novel in the Twilight series, into two films. They will be shot back to back in October. No word yet on the director.

Breaking Dawn is being adapted by Melissa Rosenberg, who has adapted the scripts for all the other Twilight movies.  She'll have a bit more of a challenge with Breaking Dawn, as several of the scenes in the book are definitely not PG-13.

I'm not at all surprised that they decided to go with two films.  It's just like The Hobbit.  Why wouldn't you milk the franchise for all you can, if you can get the actors to sign on for both?  Wonder how much Summit had to pay to make this happen, as the three main actors had only signed for four films.

Eclipse is due out June 30th.

Water For Elephants rumored to have Robert Pattinson, Sean Penna and Reese Witherspoon to star

Director Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend) is set to direct an adaptation of the best selling novel Water for Elephants.  Sara Gruen's book will be adapted for the screen by Richard LaGravenese (PS I Love You).  Yesterday, word came out that Water for Elephants may be Robert Pattinson's next project, to film in June before Breaking Dawn.  Reese Witherspoon has already been attached to the film, and Sean Penn is rumored to play Reese's husband in the film, the other part of the love triangle.

When Jacob Jankowski, recently orphaned and suddenly adrift, jumps onto a passing train, he enters a world of freaks, grifters, and misfits, a second-rate circus struggling to survive during the Great Depression, making one-night stands in town after endless town. A veterinary student who almost earned his degree, Jacob is put in charge of caring for the circus menagerie. It is there that he meets Marlena, the beautiful young star of the equestrian act, who is married to August, the charismatic but twisted animal trainer. He also meets Rosie, an elephant who seems untrainable until he discovers a way to reach her.

Sean Penn as a paranoid schizophrenic animal trainer?  Yeah, I can totally see that.  This looks like it would be a good role to break into more "serious" films for Robert, who would obviously play Jacob.  Deadline Hollywood reports:

Deals still have to be made, and putting three pricey stars in a period adult drama is a challenging proposition. Pattinson, who between Twilight segments starred for Summit in Remember Me, has been cautious about choosing his next job, but the prospect of starring in another well-known literary adaptation, potentially alongside two Oscar winners, seems a strong move.

I haven't read the book yet, but I've got it on order!

Robert Pattinson in Remember Me Poster

He sure looks all happy and smiling in the poster, but the trailer makes it seem like a much darker film.

New Moon - A Skin Flick for the Gals

Monika Bartyzel of Cinematical has written a fantastic post on why men seem so disconcerted about the reaction of girls and women to New Moon.  It's because the guys are the ones objectified this time, and this is a skin flick for women.

Twilight isn't just a rampant fangirl phenomenon of pent up adolescent and homemaker lust. It's a female skin flick for the younger set, both in marketing and execution.

And no one seems to know how to react to that.

For the women-folk, it's old-hat. We've grown up with neverending waves of objectification.

As Monika points out, how many decades have women had to sit through the slow-mo boobs bouncing beach run scenes, or all those bikini babes in 80's music videos?  And just this summer, Megan Fox, anyone?

Skin... It was, and still is, everywhere. It's just always been of the smooth and feminine variety. We're used to seeing women de-robe, jump into the shower, and slowly rub themselves down, watching a film pause and linger on a woman's curves as they change, or seeing contrived plot points that require mass amounts of female flesh.

And now we've got the female version of skin flicks merged with a virulent fandom, which means a pervasive spreading of all things wolfy, vampy, and skin-laden. One sheet upon one sheet, clip upon clip get released of boys taking off their shirts and displaying their rippling muscles, whether they're carefully honed or painted-on washboards.

I've talked to many Twilight Moms since Friday, and we're all saying the same thing - OMG Jacob Black.  That scene where Jacob takes off his shirt when Bella falls off the motorcycle made all of us a bit hot and bothered.  How many guys have you ever seen rip off their t-shirt to mop up blood?  I heard many a mom say they gave an involuntary and audible, "Oh, my."  We're all trying not to think about the fact that Taylor Lautner won't be 18 till February 11.  Although, some of my friends proposed we have a party in his honor that night to celebrate!

Boy, has there been some backlash to all that gratuitous skin:

The Twilight-phobic are fed up with the skin everywhere, and it's led to a lot of hostility and animosity while revealing a rather amusing double standard.

Men are finally forced to face the fact that prudishness isn't the only reason why rampant skin on the big screen can be annoying. The Twilight Saga is forcing them to see lots of male skin and lots of hunky men tantalizing the womenfolk. In this cinematic franchise, the men are the commodity, the physical object of desire, and it's played up to the nth degree. It's the first real opportunity to see how annoying rampant fandom of skin fluff can be; how "perfect" embodiments of men on the big screen can taint real-life expectations. The tables have been turned.

And with record breaking box office for the opening day of New Moon, we women have flexed our financial muscles in appreciation of all those pecs on display.

The masses just have to realize that straight girls have finally found their slow-mo beach scene, and have the fiscal power to make it popular.

Amen, Sister.  Read the whole great article on Cinematical here.

Even Kristen Stewart commented on the turned tables in EW:

 "It's a trip to sit back and look at the sexual objectification of these dudes."

We are Fangirls, Hear us Roar!

Summit Entertainment’s “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” tore up the box office record for best opening day, grabbing the title away from Warner Bros. “The Dark Knight,” and earning a spectacular $72.7 million yesterday at 4,024 theaters.

The only question is if New Moon can break Dark Knight's three day opening weekend record of $158 million.  This is an amazing achievement for a movie aimed at girls and women.  Rowr!  We have the dollars, too, movie executives, and we come out for what we love!

I saw an early afternoon showing on Friday, and the theater was full of Twilight Moms like me since all the tweens were still in school.  I thought it was a good adaptation, but I don't know how it will play to people who have not ready the books.

Wow, I had no idea that Chris Cooper and Pierce Brosnan were also in this film. It looks like Robert Pattinson will actually be able to show some real acting chops in this film, as well as have a few (hopefully) sex scenes.

We don't have long to wait. Remember Me is due out in March of 2010.

Robert Pattinson on the cover of Vanity Fair

Not since Titanic unleashed Leo-mania has an actor sparked the overnight adulation that greeted Robert Pattinson’s 2008 debut as Edward Cullen in Twilight. As the vampire saga’s next installment arrives, the author explores the frenzy, isolation, and sheer embarrassment of Pattinson’s past year, his instant connection with co-star Kristen Stewart, and the life he wants when this $10 million gig is over. Plus: Exclusive outtakes from Bruce Weber’s cover shoot.

I just got my Vanity Fair magazine today.  Haven't had the chance to read the entire loooong article on Rob, but the pictures are just gorgeous.  Vanity Fair online is doing a FIVE part series of the outtakes from the Bruce Weber portrait session.  And OMG, what outtakes!

Mine is probably not the typical reaction, but my favorite part of seeing this sneak peak clip is finally hearing Michael Sheen's take on Aro. Awesome!
