New Snow White and the Huntsman with Kristen Stewart trailer and feature video

Posted on Mar 19, 2012 by Amy with 5 Comments.

This morning a new five minute feature video and the second trailer for “Snow White and the Huntsman,” starring Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth, were released exclusively online by XfinityTV.  The feature seems to give us an overview of the story.  To see both videos as well as the other series of featurettes that were released last week, click here.

Having attended WonderCon this past weekend, I can tell you that this is not the same five minute video that was shown there on Saturday.  Director Rupert Sanders said that he had cut that piece exclusively for the WonderCon audience.  The videos released today feature a lot of the footage that was shown in the WonderCon piece, but there are some differences…at WonderCon we saw Snow White punch the Huntsman in the face! Read my full report on the #SWATH WonderCon panel here.

Between WonderCon and the new footage today, I am very excited about this film.  What do you think of Kristen Stewart’s latest heroine?

“Snow White and the Huntsman” is in theaters on June 1.

Twilight news: week in review, March 11 – 17

Posted on Mar 19, 2012 by Amy with 11 Comments.

For a while I’ve been thinking about writing a Twilight news week in review column that offers a quick rundown of the activities of the last week.  Let me know what you think.

Sunday, March 11

"Bella wannabes?" "Brides" lined up in London attempting to break a Guinness record.

In honor the U.K. release of “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1” on DVD, an HMV store in London attempted to achieve a Guiness Book World Record for the longest chain of brides in one particular location. No word yet on if the record was certified, but as you can see in the picture many women in white showed up.

That wasn’t the only bizarre U.K. promotion in conjunction with the release of “Breaking Dawn, Part 1.” Madame Tussaud’s London location, the home of wax versions of both Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, displayed an ice sculpture of Kristen Stewart alongside her co-stars.

Twilight fan fiction authors and fans will meetup in Las Vegas in June

Posted on Mar 18, 2012 by Amy with No Comments.

Do you love writing or reading Twilight fan fiction?  Are there fan fic authors that you would love to meet in person or a reader whose reviews touch you so much that you wish you could discuss your story with them? Well, there’s an event coming up for you.

From June 8-10, Twilight fan fiction authors and readers are gathering at the Monte Carlo Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas for what has been dubbed as the Twific Meetup.  The weekend’s events are scheduled to include discussion groups, Q&A, writing workshops, games, a “Twilight” watch along, possibly an opening day screening of “Bel Ami,” and plenty of socializing.

The inspiration for this gathering came from a few friends discussing on twitter how fun it had been to meet up at Comic Con and how great it would be to have a gathering specifically for the Twific fandom.

“When einfach_mich said ‘Hey, who wants to help lead this thing?’ I jumped at the chance,” said Amanda, a.k.a theswandive, one of the Meetup organizers.  “I might have scared aleighy a little with my enthusiasm. There were a lot of shouty caps and exclamation marks.”

Amanda also added, “The opportunity not only to talk fanfic with like-minded people, but to meet them in person was more than enough motivation for me. After a few meetings we sorted out responsibilities, and got lots of help starting up the website from fellow talented fandomers like heatherdawn, LustLikeTequila and ltlerthqak.  It’s been crazy, but so far, a lot of fun. I’m really excited for June.”

Lead by aleighy, theswandive, and coldplaywhore with assistance from einfach_mich and noverbalfilter, almost 150 Twific writers and readers have signed up for the event to date and there’s still room for more.

You have until April 15th to sign up and pay dues – an affordable $55 that covers the cost of meeting space, a catered lunch and administrative costs. A special hotel room rate is available at the Monte Carlo and also you can find participants looking for roommates on the Meetup’s website. Visit http://twificmeetup.blogspot.com/ for more information and to sign up.

As a Twific author, Esme Mom Cullen, I’m very excited to have this opportunity to meet up with my fellow authors and readers for a fun weekend in Las Vegas. Are you going to Vegas that weekend?
