SECRET IDENTITY: Recasting The 'Twilight Saga: Eclipse' Stars As Comic Book Characters

Posted 7/1/10 7:01 pm EST by in Secret Identity, Video


For many comic book and genre fans, "The Last Airbender" is the most interesting movie entering the box office arena this weekend. For others, it's "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse," which already earned a heaping pile of money on its opening day this past Wednesday.

There's no question that "Eclipse" is going to continue to do solid business at the box office throughout the weekend and likely beyond, but there's only one two-part film left in the "Twilight" franchise past this weekend's threequel — in other words, many of these actors are going to be looking for new franchises.

To help them along, here are a few recommendations for some of the "Eclipse" cast in case they're interested in diving into the comic book and superhero pool! Read More...

Posted 6/24/10 2:01 pm EST by in News, Video


"The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" filmmaker David Slade will not be directing "The Shadow," and online rumors that he'd be behind the camera for a Sam Raimi-produced take on the classic pulp hero were "lies."

That's the word straight from the mouth of the "Eclipse" (and "30 Days of Night") director, during an interview with MTV News.

"Lies," said Slade of the anonymously sourced report that surfaced on Latino Review back in March. "Not true. Total internet rumor." Read More...

Could Jackson Rathbone's 'Last Airbender' Character Beat His 'Twilight' Vampire In A Fight?

Posted 3/30/10 2:32 pm EST by in News


Jackson RathboneIn M. Night Shyamalan's "The Last Airbender," actor Jackson Rathbone plays Sokka, a teenage warrior from the Southern Water Tribe who lacks the water-bending powers of his peers but has the makings of a great leader all the same. On a quest alongside his sister, Katara, and the last remaining airbender, Aang, Sokka's mettle is tested as the small group tries to restore balance to their warring world.

MTV News caught up with Rathbone while he was promoting his new film, "Dread," and managed to slip in a few questions about the special effects in store for "Airbender" audiences and how Sokka stacks up against his "Twilight" character, the vampire Jasper Hale.

"My character's more of a sardonic figure," Rathbone told MTV News. "But he's a budding young warrior, so I got to do a lot of hand-to-hand fighting, which was really fun. I had to go through about two-to-three months of kung-fu training, that was just... Oh, man, that was a workout." Read More...

'Twilight'-Teasing Webcomic Inspires Different Take On 'Team Edward'... For A Good Cause

Posted 3/24/10 4:30 pm EST by in News


Team EdwardI don't know whether I'm "Team Edward" or "Team Jacob," but I do know I love these shirts.

Inspired by a November 2009 "Hijinks Ensue" webcomic, the shirts feature the "Team Edward" design well-known to "Twilight" fans, but instead of Edward Cullen's dreamy visage, they feature Admiral William Adama himself, Edward James Olmos. And I must have one.

"You can have your sparkling, fangless Twilight vampires. There's only one 'Edward' whose team I want to be on," reads the ad for the shirts, which today joined the offerings on the hub of all webcomics merch, TopatoCo. "Whether he's inspiring inner city kids, tracking down replicants or leading the Colonial Fleet to victory against the Cylons, EJO has always got your back. Shouldn't you return the favor?"

'Priest' Director Discusses Film's 'True Blood'-Meets-'Twilight' Casting

Posted 3/3/10 12:49 pm EST by in News


PriestWe have just shy of a year before "Priest" arrives in theaters, but with its popular manga source material and prominent actors from the "Twilight" and "True Blood" franchises playing major roles in the film, we're pretty sure there will be no shortage of buzz as the film's release date nears.

MTV News caught up with "Priest" director Scott Stewart, whose film "Legion" hit theaters earlier this year, to get the background on how he managed to pull together a cast friendly to the "sexy vampire" audience while also staying true to the tone and theme of Min-Woo Hyung's manga.

"It was funny,actually — when casting 'Priest' it was kind of hard to find someone who hasn’t played a vampire before," he laughed. "There are so many people playing vampires these days. ... But I love genre movies and I love to take them very seriously, even when the tone is meant to be fun. That means trying to cast them with really great actors." Read More...
