Last night, The Hollywood Reporter released a statement about Breaking Dawn. How certain actors, revealed to be Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene, were demanding 更多 money for the movies.

Yes, the Twilight 电影院 are not at all Oscar worthy. They are films that are based on the 图书 we all seemingly love. They don't showcase the actors' talent, if they have any. 评论 from different communities jokingly state that Summit would need to pay them alot of money to 星, 星级 in the movies. Which, I'm sure is true for alot of the hardcore 粉丝 who believe that the 电影院 haven't done the book series justice.

Setting all jokes aside, and into a 更多 serious note, I am somewhat troubled 由 this, 或者 由 what the 粉丝 are saying. The Twilight Fandom has erupted into pandemonium 更多 than once: Twilight cast revealed, Twilight's release, Rachelle Lafevre's recast, New Moon filming in Italy (Bella/Edward kiss), Rob and Kristen at Kings of Leon Concert, Robert and Kristen seen holding hands (arguably for some), etc. This "salary dispute" has cause a minor uproar in the fandom.

Some people are saying that Summit should just pay them. Some are saying that they wouldn't be missed if recast, and that they are replaceable with a better actor/actress.

What do I think Summit should do? Based on this report, not all the details were given. We don't know exactly what is going on besides there is a bit of a money issue. Drama, to put it into loose terms. If Kellan and Ashley are demanding 更多 money, let's look at the cold, hard, evidence.

1) How big is Emmett's character in the books? And how big is Kellan's role in the movies? Answer: Not very big. And in the movies, maybe ten lines tops. Of course that's only Twilight and New Moon.

2) How big is Alice's character in the books? And how big is Ashley's role in the movies? Alice has a bigger role in the book than in the movies, but still, not a major character. Ashley is barely in the 电影院 as well. Of course, her part is probably growing due to a 更多 complicated plotline.

Should they be demanding 更多 money? I mean, we ALL know Summit is cheap and we are always ready to point fingers at them, but let's look at this closely. Why should Kellan and Ashley demand 更多 money when their characters are minor? Surely their paychecks get a little bigger due to 更多 lines in Eclipse, I'm sure, but why ask for an amount (unknown) that may risk in them losing the parts?!

Now, before I go ANY further, let me clarify. I HATE cast changes. I LOATHE them. When Rachelle was replaced, I WAS FURIOUS. And I would be quite upset with Summit if this fiasco wasn't settled, 或者 didn't find a compromise, and that the actors would be replaced. However, why would they request 更多 money? Their parts are probably not that much bigger than Jackson's 或者 Peter's. Jackson has about 5-10 分钟 screentime, gathered 由 the Eclipse screening reviews and early draft of the script. Without Twilight, Kellan and Ashley wouldn't have had a career. At least, not like this. They aren't sought out stars because of their talent, they are sought out because they 星, 星级 in Twilight. Once this franchise is over, I fear they won't have anything to rebound off of, and they will struggle to find jobs, just like it was before Twilight came along.

And do they "star" in Twilight? I wouldn't even consider their minimal work in Twilight, "starring". Ashley, yeah, she had a bigger role in New Moon, but it didn't leave an impact. It's not something 你 would remember if 你 weren't a hardcore 粉丝 of the 电影院 或者 books. It pains me to hear the actors demand for 更多 money when they had barely anything to 显示 for it. Kellan was in Nightmare on Elm Street... for 5 minutes. I hardly call that sought after.

Is Summit in the right to threaten kicking them of the wagon? I think so. I'm not one to side with Summit, but if this is how it went down, then I think so. For their egos to be that inflated and to be that high on the horse, I think it's time that this incident brought them down to earth. Time to humble up. Because demanding for a paycheck, just because the 电影院 are doing successfully, isn't professional. It would be nice if Summit did pay them a generous amount, but since their parts are rather small, I don't see why they are complaining about it.

Like I 说 at the begining of the article. We don't know what happened. We don't know all the details. But, if the incident happened in a similar way to what I had been describing, then Summit has the right. I don't want them to be replaced. I'm not saying they're bad actors because they are mediocre (and Twilight doesn't showcase talent), but because I hate recasts. And, because, they own the characters. Their faces are linked to the characters for a while, and to replace that, it wouldn't be fair to the fans. But, they put themselves in that situation if they are demanding 更多 money. So they are doing it to themselves, and the fans.

My mind is an utter mess right now. I have so many mixed emotions about this subject, and it was hard to write out this article. So, I apologize if it doesn't make sense.

Please comment. I would really 爱情 to hear what 你 have to say about this incident. Let's pray it will get sorted out. It'd be a shame if they were replaced. They are loved in the fandom: as the characters and they themselves. It doesn't mean people will boycott the movies, but it would take the fandom further into the blackhole of pandemonium, further than we already are in. There's no going back to the good ol' days when it was just Twilight Tuesdays and no hatred. Just pure excitement that the 电影院 were being made. *sigh*

My opinion is they should "recast" the screenwriter, Melissa Rosenburg. She's the cause of alot of this mess! But again, that's my personal opinion :) But I'm sure I can find a few people that agree with me ;)

Sorry for rambling! 评论 are welcome!

EDIT: The amount Kellan and Ashley are demanding is 4 million each. 4 MILLION DOLLARS. Rob and Kristen get about 10-12 million and they are leads. 4M is a bit high, especially since Emmett and Alice are minor characters.

It had been 18 months. 18 long and lonely months since he left me alone, wanting him, but having no one to talk 或者 turn to. Have 你 ever missed someone so much 你 actually started to imagine they were there with 你 just so that the 心 wrenching pain ebbed for a little while?
But even in the worst situations light comes at the end of the tunnel eventually. Mine in the form of a new job and house a little way away from all the pain and bad memories that were left there in Forks. Now here I was in my small 1 bedroomed house in Tacoma, taking pictures of the Washington scenery for travel brochures....

[b]Bella's POV

I knew I was dreaming, this could never happen. I couldn't be sure though it all looked so vivid.
I wasn't at 首页 anymore, I was in a meadow, my meadow, his meadow. And there he was, leaning agaist a tree, looking as perfect as usual. He was smiling my favourite smile, his eyes shining with... laughter?
"Edward," I asked, "something funny?"
Edward just shook his head, his shoulders moving with silent laughter. Great now I'd have to hope Alice knew what was humouring him. Edward wouldn't like it if I found out before he told me, but maybe this time he'd learn to tell me quicker.

Tinsel Korey has a job most women would die for: She spent hours every 日 working alongside the shirtless hunks of the Twilight 狼 pack, keeping Taylor Lautner and the boys in check. Tinsel, who plays the role of Emily Young in The Twilight Saga: New Moon, Eclipse, and the upcoming Breaking Dawn films, portrays the strong and beautiful, yet scarred, fiancee of Sam Uley (Chaske Spencer) and motherly caretaker of the unruly 狼 pack.

"Alright Brother." The shape shifters all gather under one roof. "The time has come to put an end to this curse! We have had to deal with this same cycle for centuries and quite frankly I'm sick and tired of being a dog." There was a Roar in the crowd, everyone there felt the same way. "So it is time to take control, we must get rid of the stupid leaches." Gabriel said, "Once and for all!" Everyone erupted, the only people who didn't feel the same were the people in Jacob's Pack. "We must strike them where it hurts most the Volturi Coven! They are the glue that holds all 吸血鬼 together with...

The Nameless Girl's PoV
Renesmee was getting measured. Again. They measured her 4 times a day, they never measured me.No one even spared a glance at me, I just watched longingly as they fawned over my twin sister. I had yet to see my mother at all and I've only caught glances at my father, he was too busy with mother 或者 Renesmee.
It had only been a few days since our birth, 2 to be exact, going on our3rd day. I'm way ahead ofmy twin, I mayhave the same sized body,but I can walk and talk already, not that I have anyone to talk to. I also figured outI have a power.I can teleportto any place I have...

“I’ll have to buy Esme a new 床, 床上 frame,” I confessed, glancing over my shoulder. She followed my gaze and I saw shock on her face. Didn’t she notice that at night? Me, destroying a bad, made a lot of noise. But actually, our attention was involved in some other activity.
“Hmm. You’d think I would have heard that.”
“You seem to be extraordinarily unobservant when your attention is otherwise involved.”
“I was a bit absorbed,” She admitted, blushing a deep red, I felt the warms of her skin and her heartbeat accelerated again. She was...

"Let her go Aro!" Edward yelled, Aro smiled at him, "Sadly I can't do that my friend." Jacob stepped up "and why the hell can't you?" Aro smile turned into a sneer "because she has something that can be of use to me." Jacob ran for Aro, and Jane stepped in the way "Pain". Just like that Jacob dropped to the floor in Agony, "JAKE!" Bella yelled "let him go!" She said, but no one payed her no mind.
"What.The.Hell.Are.You.Doing.to.me." Jacob manged between clenched teeth, "Aro stop this, this is not necessary." Carlisle 说 Aro held up his hand and Jake stopped twitching on the ground. "Now,...

Kristen and Cam interview 由 "Crepúsculo-es"

Q: What do 你 most like about your character?
- Kristen: What I most like about Bella is that she's not your typical fragile girl. Bella is strong, even it not 展示 as much when she's 下一个 to all those vampires.
- Cam: For me it's the fact that James can see the 爱情 Edward and Bella share, but doesn't understand it and does everything to destroy it. I think that's something we all do. We try to destroy things we don't understand.

Q: Have 你 read the books? Did 你 read...

hello, friends. Thank 你 all for your 评论 and support. it means a lot for me. Thank 你 very much.


“What’s funny?” I asked. My voice was rough and betrayed my mood. She didn’t answer and I heard her stomach growled. Oh my…she was hurt, and finally she was hungry too. I felt her face blushed and her heartbeat accelerated. What did it mean? I couldn’t guess.
I waited for her to speak. She laughed again.
“You just can’t escape being human for very long.” I couldn’t understand her mood. She was supposed to be angry…well, she was...

If vampires—corpses that rise up to suck the blood of the living—sound biologically implausible to you, you’re not alone. They exist purely in legend, as virtually all scientists agree.

But for any vampire believers un­dissuaded 由 biological facts, a professor has come up with a sec­ond proof of their unreality, using math.

If 吸血鬼 ever existed in the forms in which 电影院 and 图书 portray them, they would have quickly wiped out humanity long ago, ac­cording to physics professor Cos­tas Efthimiou of the 大学 of Central Florida in Orlando, Fla.
