In an interview with Australia’s Sunday Herald Sun, Twilight Saga actor Robert Pattinson discussed his feelings about the attraction women have for vampires. “I don’t know why,” he admits, “but if you’re a human girl with a vampire, you’re either going to die or they have to force themselves not to kill you, which gives you the ultimate power over them, which is, I guess, the relationship women all want to have with men – where they have absolute power over someone with absolute power.” In the same interview, he express concern over girls who are seeking the kind of relationship that Edward Cullen and Bella Swan have. “If you want to believe in the mysticism of a relationship, or something transcendent, then she has to be with Edward. But a lot of people look for that in a relationship and get disillusioned with it very quickly.”

BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD TALKS "ECLIPSE"
In an interview with WENN, actress Bryce Dallas Howard was asked about replacing Rachelle Lefevre as Victoria in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. "The jury is still out, because Racelle created an incredible character and is exquisite," she said. "I feel like the uproar that occurred was really appropriate, because part of the joy of seeing a franchise, it’s almost like a television series. You’ve seen the actors grow with the franchise. And [Lefevre’s] unavailability [to do Eclipse] was really, really, really unfortunate. [You have to] do your best and be über-respectful. She won that role for a reason. I hope to honor everything that she created."

EDWARD CULLEN - PERFECT VOLVO DRIVER
Apparently the Edward Cullen of New Moon is the perfect Volvo driver. The character will, of course, be driving the Savile Grey XC6OR in the film. Linda Gangeri, manager of national advertising for Volvo Cars of North America, notes, "The brand DNA matched to his character couldn't be ore right. His character is a nurturer and he has to be understated, because he's living in a human world and is in love with a human. At the same time, he wants something that is good-looking and fast."

VAMPIRE NEWS BITES: JUNE 1, 2009
Seth Grahame-Smith, author of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (from Quirk Books), has announced that this next effort will be Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. As he told The New Zealand Herald, "It's kind of a gimmicky horror history, but this time it's wholly original; a reimagined biography. It's one of those things where I had it all written out and thought, 'Wouldn't it be nice if I got to write that one day.' And now the success of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies has generated interest in it. It will have that same comic spin and it's a very different thing to write a biography and have it read funny — that's my goal, to have it a mix of fiction, humor and factual accuracy." The book is expected in 2010.

ROBERT PATTINSON CONFIRMS "BREAKING DAWN"
Robert Pattinson has confirmed that he has committed to starring in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, though he's not sure when it will go into production as he's tied up in a number of projects (not the least of which is, of course, New Moon and Eclipse). In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he noted that when filming wraps on New Moon he'll jump into Summit Entertainment's Remember Me, before assuming the role of Edward Cullen again for Eclipse.
In the same article, he discussed New Moon, pointing out that for much of the story Edward is a "voice in Bella's head." The actor expressed with a laugh, "You're playing a figment in Bella's imagination, so I was trying to do it in a 2-D way. I hope it doesn't translate onscreen as being boring."

KRISTEN STEWART HOPES TO DO FOUR "TWILIGHT" FILMS
Despite the fact that Summit Entertainment has only gone so far as to announce adaptations of Stephenie Meyer's New Moon and Eclipse, actress Kristen Stewart tells WENN that she is hopeful that they will also end up filming the fourth book in the Twilight saga, Breaking Dawn.
"We all really hope there is going to be a number four," she says. "I'm pretty confident that the fans that aren't going to, all of a sudden, lose interest. The only case a fourth one wouldn't be made is if all of a sudden people stopped caring, and I really don't think that's going to happen."
