It's the same old song and dance, isn't it? A little semantics goes a long way in Hollywood, especially when you're trying to protect your film. It was revealed today that Summit Entertainment will be shooting "additional scenes" for their over-hyped teen vampire drama, Twilight, which now arrives in theaters November 21 (a day once inhabited by HARRY POTTER). Inside you can read about the latest on Catherine Hardwicke's adaptation.
"I'm so psyched about it; we are shooting Monday, Tuesday and Thursday this week, and it's really cool," Kellan Lutz (Emmett Cullen) told MTV News.
Often, movies have to reshoot scenes when the powers that be are less than satisfied with the original footage, but Peter Facinelli, who plays vampire patriarch Carlisle Cullen, put a positive spin on the work they'll be doing. "They liked it so much, they are bringing us back for some encore time — to beef it up," he said. "A little salt and pepper."
According to Taylor Lautner, the shoots were planned before Summit Entertainment snagged the Thanksgiving weekend release date. "I know they've been showing it to some people, and some people go, 'I want to see a little more of this,' or, 'I don't quite understand this,' " he explained.
It sounds to me like there were actual problems with the film - not enough salt and pepper - I guess we'll see soon enough...
The film is about a high school girl named Bella falls in love with a vampire. The new couple leads a rival vampire clan to pursue them and attempt to force her to decide if she, too, wishes to become one of the undead.
I read the phrase "teen vampire drama" and I want to gag. Fuck anything that tries to make vampires "hip", "cool", or "sexy". I'm so sick of that approach. but then I guess it fits for a teen drama. This looks like the OC, just with people who can jump really high.
I'm getting the feeling that maybe the movie is going to be a lot less... well, bad than the books.
I mean it will still be full of fail (SPARKLY VEGETARIAN VAMPIRES) but without Smeyer's shit writing maybe it could be halfway decent.
Or maybe not. Probably not.
Does anyone remember when Vampires used to be a Scary Blood thirsty killers, and not some fancy cute darky persons?? Whatever happened to that concept?
So even for its lame Anne Rice-inspired genre label it wasn't good enough to release as is? Can we stop it with the androgenous emo vampire movies please?
this is bullshit what happened to the myth of vampires, now they want to have relationships and shit. this movie looks like blood and chocolate, and im glad i never saw that piece of shit
how the fuck do you have sparkling vegatarian vampires, what do they do suck hidden valley ranch out of veggies and sparkle beacause of photosenthesis?
Oh my god, reshoots! That must mean the studio hates it, that the movie is a piece of shit, and everyone is in panic mode, just like in Rob Zombie's Halloween, right? Right?!
Jesus, whenever it's announced that re-shoots are taking place, everyone shits their pants and cries foul.
Almost every movie on the planet does reshoots. Get over it and talk about something interesting.
Guys, this is further evidence of the studios ignoring us forever in favor of teenage girls. Consider "Prom Night" the warmup, and this as the main event.
This movie looks like an insult to emo culture, and that means something, when you stop and think about how stupid emo culture already is.
