Kellan Lutz to play Tarzan

by Dimitris Ioannou

“The Twilight Saga” actor Kellan Lutz has just signed to play Tarzan in a new film by the German production company Constantin Film. For the role of his love interest Jane, the young actress Spencer Locke, mostly known for “Resident Evil: Afterlife” and TV series “Cougar Town”, is currently in talks.

What's the catch? The film will be fully animated using performance-capture technology, like the one used in “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” last summer. Reinhard Klooss will sit at the directing chair, while the script is written by himself, Jessica Postigo (The Mortal Instruments) and Yoni Brenner (Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs).

Until the release of the movie, which is yet unknown, you can see Kellan in the upcoming grand finale of “Twilight” titled “Breaking Dawn: Part 2”, scheduled to hit the theatres on November 16.

“The Twilight Saga” star Robert Pattinson is joining the army, but only for the movies. The young actor has signed for the leading role in the movie “Mission: Blacklist” where he'll play military interrogator Eric Maddox, the man who spearheaded the investigation to find out where former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein was hiding.

The film is based on Maddox's book “Mission: Blacklist #1”. The director of “Johnny Mad Dog” Jean-Stephane Sauvaire is leading the project, while the adaptation for the screen and the production is by Erik Jendersen, mostly known from HBO's TV mini-series “Band of Brothers” in 2001.

“Mission: Blacklist” is scheduled to be sold at the upcoming Cannes Film Market. Robert Pattinson will be at Cannes Film Festival for David Cronenberg's “Cosmopolis” which is competing for the Palme d'Or prize.

Red-eyed Bella in new “Breaking Dawn: Part 2” stills

by Dimitris Ioannou

We met her as a young innocent girl living with her father at Rainy Forks, later she fell in love, married and even had a baby. Lately we've seen her empowered, running like the wind, and now she has completely transformed. In the new stills from “Breaking Dawn: Part 2” we see the beautiful Bella Swan in the arms of her beloving husband Edward Cullen, with eyes red as blood and skin pale like dead. She is a vampire.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart return for the last time in “The Twilight Saga” franchise, accompanied with Taylor Lautner, the young werewolf Jacob who is in love with Bella since the first time he saw her.

“Breaking Dawn: Part 1” finished with Bella giving birth to Edward's baby, Renesmee. Unfortunately, the Volturi know about the child, and a showdown is inevitable. However Bella is willing to do anything to protect her daughter. 

The first trailer of “Breaking Dawn: Part 2” released a few weeks ago, showing Bella embracing her new supernatural life. The movie is scheduled to open nationwide on November 16. 

First official teaser trailer for “Breaking Dawn: Part 2”

by Dimitris Ioannou

Only 241 days before the last part of “The Twilight Saga” franchise hits the theaters and the first official teaser trailer released online. Although in the 15 seconds video we do not see at all how Kristen Stewart's character, Bella Swan, is as a vampire, we get a glimpse from both Edward Cullen and werewolf Jacob Black and their first reaction to her.

The very brief teaser begins with the classic shot of Washington state's snow capped mountains and then we see Bella running through the woods at high speed. Later, Taylor Lautner, welcomes the brand new and very powerful Bella, in a skintight shirt, looking very buff and Robert Pattinson touches her -now- pale hand with the wedding ring telling her “We're the same temperature now”.

For all “Twilight” fans who want to see a bigger, much fuller trailer, they can wait only until this Friday. At the same day with the release of the new franchise “The Hunger Games” in theaters, the entire “Breaking Dawn: Part 2” trailer will be released too.

Until Friday, check the video below...
