Twilight's Dust

With Twilight: New Moon tickets already selling out 2 months before its theatrical bow...The franchise is all over the place...

See actor Peter Facinelli on the The Twilight Eclipse set filming the 3rd movie...

His co-star Xavier Samuel talked to Dark Horizons about Eclipse...

Here's a taste:

Question: Did you know anything about that [Twilight] particular franchise?

Samuel: To be honest, not really. Like, I watched the film on the plane. And at that stage, I hadn’t read the books, but I have now. I knew very little about it. I knew that it was extremely popular, and people kind of go crazy for it.

Question: Crazy is an understatement.

Samuel: Yeah. Like, you know, this notion of eternal love, and danger, and – you know, the thing that you love could kill you – that sort of stuff is, like – I guess it’s intoxicating for a lot of people.

Question: And you play a vampire in Eclipse?

Samuel: Newborn vampire.

Question: A newborn vampire. Do you do any research on something like this?

Samuel: Sleep in coffins at night, and stuff like that?

Question: Or look at classic horror films that explored vampire culture.

Samuel: I think that I’ve resisted that temptation, because the vampires, in Twilight, are very different. I think there’s a crucial element to portraying something like that is retaining some sort of humanity, and if you can do that, then hopefully it can work, in less of a stereotypical, clichéd kind of way.

Question: Do you have any kind of relationship with Kristen's Bella? I mean, is there a bond of some kind that exists?

Samuel: That’s a tricky question to answer, without giving away the plot...

MTV has learned that Summit Entertainment bought Jason Brown's documentary feature Twilight in Forks: The Saga of the Real Town a look at the town of Forks, Washington, where the "Twilight" saga is set.

It is set to hit stores early next year, in conjunction with the "New Moon" DVD release...

Finally the LA Times has released a slew of set photos from "Moon"
