First Single From “Twilight New Moon” Soundtrack “Meet Me On The Equinox” By Death Cab For Cutie
Posted on 07. Sep, 2009 by CSS.
Indie band Death Cab for Cutie — fronted by Ben Gibbard, fiancee of actress Zooey Deschanel — has written a song exclusively for the much-anticipated vampire sequel The Twilight Saga: New Moon. “Meet Me On the Equinox” will be the first single released from New Moon soundtrack, and is expected to debut live at the MTV Video Music Awards on September 13.
On Thursday, Twilight creator Stephanie Meyer posted a statement from the Seattle based band on her blog: “We are very excited to be a part of this amazing series of novels set in our own backyard. It just seemed a perfect synergy that a band from the Northwest would create a song for a series of novels set in the Northwest,” the statement read.
“We wrote ‘Meet Me On the Equinox’ to reflect the celestial themes and motifs that run throughout the ‘Twilight’ series and we wanted to capture that desperate feeling of endings and beginnings that so strongly affect the main characters. This song marks the first attempt that Death Cab for Cutie has ever made at contributing new, unreleased material for a film and we are proud to be a part of the ‘Twilight’ legacy.”
The Twilight Saga: New Moon opens in theaters Nov. 20. Fans can pick up their Twilight soundtrack on Oct. 13.

Stephen King Slams 'Twilight' Author Stephanie Meyer as "Talentless"
Posted on 03. Feb, 2009 by CSS.
It’s safe to say Stephen King is not a Twilight fan!
Literature’s King of Fright is about to drive a stake through the heart of Twilight creator Stephenie Meyer.
Bestselling author Stephen King blasted Meyer’s popular young adult vampire series and her lack of creative ability in a new interview with USA Weekend.
“People are attracted by the stories, by the pace and in the case of Stephenie Meyer, it’s very clear that she’s writing to a whole generation of girls and opening up kind of a safe joining of love and sex in those books.”
“Both Rowling and Meyer, they’re speaking directly to young people… The real difference is that J.K. Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can’t write worth a darn. She’s not very good,” Stephen says emphatically.
Ouch!

Taylor Lautner Will Continue To Play Jacob In 'Twilight' Franchise.
Posted on 08. Jan, 2009 by CSS.
There have been rumors for some time that Taylor Lautner, who plays Jacob Black in the Twilight series, would be replaced by another actor for the second film, New Moon. In the second film, he would play a werewolf – a part that requires sheer size as well as a different acting style than playing (in his words) a “happy-go-lucky” guy. Lautner noted the difference between the character that he played in the first Twilight installment and the character that would be necessary for the second film:
Lautner told MTV News recently that, while he can’t automatically grow hair, he’s been bulking up in anticipation of continuing in the role.
“My job for Twilight was to bring Twilight Jacob to life—the friendly, happy-go-lucky little Jacob,” he said. ”My job for New Moon is completely different. I’ve been looking forward to that. I’ve been getting ready for it, and I can assure them I will follow through with that.”
Today, Stephanie Meyer, the author of the Twilight series, announced that Lautner would indeed continue to play Jacob, making many teenagers very, very happy. Chris Weitz, the director of New Moon, writes that he always knew Lautner would be right for the part:
I’m very happy to announce that Taylor Lautner will be playing Jacob Black in New Moon and that he’s doing so with the enthusiastic support of Summit Entertainment, the producers, and Stephenie Meyer.
The characters in Stephenie’s books go through extraordinary changes of circumstance and also appearance; so it is not surprising that there has been speculation about whether the same actor would portray a character who changes in so many surprising ways throughout the series. But it was my first instinct that Taylor was, is, and should be Jacob, and that the books would be best served by the actor who is emotionally right for the part. I think that fans of Twilight the book and the movie will be surprised by the Jacob Black that Taylor will bring to the screen in New Moon; and I’m looking forward to working with him and the rest of the cast in realizing the film.
