Twilight Mafia

According to the Twilight Saga blog site, the won’t be releasing the official guide untill 2009. BUT they did give us what the cover looks like! Here’s what they had to say:

The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide, which was scheduled to release on December 30th, is being moved to 2009. A new on-sale date will be announced as soon as possible. As the only official guide about the Twilight Saga, we want to make this edition as special as possible. We are including more of the exclusive material that you all have been asking for over the past several months, which will require additional time.

MTV has given us a thirty second clip of Paramore’s song “Decode”, which will appear on the Twilight Soundtrack.  Check the clip HERE.  The full video will be released November third.

Discuss your thoughts on this sneak peak HERE on the forum.

Mark Cotta Vaz is the author of Twilight: The Complete Illustrated Movie Companion. The Lex was lucky enought to get him to answer a few questions about it and Twilight in general. Check it out HERE.

HGE posted this video of Sam Beam from Iron Wine performing “Flightless Bird, American Mouth’ live in concert. According to the Official Twilight Movie Soundtrack Website (which you can see the announcement HERE), this is the song Edward and Bella dance to at prom. It gave me goosebumps imagining it. What about you?

 

That’s right. EW.com got an exclusive listen to the Twilight soundtrack. Here’s what they had to say about Rob’s track:

I’m not going to pretend I didn’t immediately skip to this track… He did not disappoint. The delicate guitar and laid-back vocals (compared by some to a young Jeff Buckley) would be the perfect background to Edward and Bella’s post-fight reunion in the hospital. We may not be getting Pattinson’s version of ”Bella’s Lullaby,” but this track leaves me wanting for nothing — well, maybe a personal serenade.

And about Carter Burwell’s “Bella’s Lullaby”:

The prolific film score composer was tasked with creating one of the disc’s most anticipated numbers: Edward’s musical love letter to Bella. Unfortunately, the piano composition relies too heavily on a background of lilting (but lovely) strings to supply its emotional oomph. And at only 2:20 minutes, it will no doubt leave devoted Twilighters thirsty for more. It’s like a love letter sent unsigned.

NCEA, who is about to release the Twilight action figure dolls, has added some Cullen Crest jewelry to their list. As of right now they will be available in late November. Not all of the items have pages up yet on Amazon, but the following ones do:

Edward’s Wrist Band
Rosalie’s Necklace
Alice’s Choker
Esme’s Bracelet
Complete Cullen Family Jewelry Set
Cullen Crest Key Ring

Visit HotTopic.com and whats the first thing you see? Halloween costumes, very classic vampire-ish with the phrase “Need something to live for?” - Hmm… phrase sounds familiar huh? And then you’ll notice on your right they have a movie countdown widget from the official Twilight movie site. Then when you click on the Twilight link in the middle, it automatically asks you… “Are you Team Edward? Or Team Jacob?” When you choose, it changes the Twilight items layout to suit what team you’re on. Hot Topic just never fails for Twilight stuff huh?

Here’s some news about the upcoming Twilight cover issues of EW, thanks to HGE and Lion_Lamb LJ. You can see the whole entry HERE.

*The first EW cover was so successful, they’re putting TWILIGHT on the cover of their Holiday Movie Preview over films like Quantum of Solace. It is rare for EW to feature the same film twice on their cover.

*they are running 3 different split-cover Twilight issues (this means Rob will most likely be on one, the cast on another, etc etc)…yes, get ready, THERE WILL BE 3!

*the covers are running around 11/14 (not sure if it’s that week or the week after)
