Another Eclipse trailer at the MTV Movie Awards

Here's another Eclipse trailer, courtesy of the MTV Movie Awards show:



It looks like David Slade changed the scene where Jacob visits Bella at school. I wonder what other changes he's made in the movie? Still no details of the tent scene--I guess they want to keep us in suspense.

Enjoy!

My Impressions of Appearances on the Ellen DeGeneres Show

Sorry I'm a bit tardy with my post--I've been very busy this week at my kids' school. Everything seems to happen at the end of the school year!

Anyways, onto my post about Rob's and Nikki's appearances. First, I have to say that I'm not a big fan of daytime talk shows. I only make the exception when Twilight stars are involved. :-)

Nikki Reed's Appearance on Ellen
I was pleasantly surprised by Nikki Reed's appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show. I hadn't really seen her as anything other than the Rosalie character, but Nikki herself seemed very sweet, warm, and genuine. And funny. And I loved her scene from Eclipse with Bella. It's nice to see a different side of Rosalie. With each new Eclipse preview, I'm more excited about seeing the movie!

Here's the preview of Rosalie talking with Bella ("Bella, I envy you"):



Rob Pattinson's Appearance on Ellen
I already expected Rob to have shorter hair for his appearance on Ellen's show, but it takes some getting used to his new hair style. It definitely makes him look older and less Vampire-y, if you know what I mean. As long as he lets his hair grow back out for Eclipse, I'm okay with it.

Rob was, as usual, charming during his interview. I especially enjoyed his "nits" reference and his self-effacing humor. (I can hardly wait to see him, in person, at the Eclipse Convention in Los Angeles!)

As for the lucky lady from the audience who got to "pat" him down--Oh My Gosh! I giggled the whole time she was up there, touching him all over! What a trouper Rob was, to allow a complete stranger to do that to him! And how funny that she guessed wrong! (She wore a blindfold and was supposed to identify him just by touch.)

I'm looking forward to seeing many more Twilight star appearances on the talk show circuit as the Eclipse release date approaches. (41 days and counting!)

Who is Xavier Samuel?

Xavier Samuel is the lucky actor who gets to play Riley in the movie Eclipse. Here's a bit of background information on both Xavier Samuel and Riley.


Xavier Samuel
Xavier Samuel was born in Australia on December 10th, 1983, which makes him 26 years old. He grew up in Adelaide, Australia. He has light brown hair and brown eyes. Xavier graduated from Rostrevor College in 2001.

Xavier's acting experience includes the Australian theatre, television, and a handful of Australian movies. Eclipse is Xavier's first big American movie.

Xavier says he hadn't read the Twilight Saga books before trying out for the role of Riley, but he did watch the movie on the airplane ride over.

Elle magazine recently interviewed Xavier Samuel. Check out their article, "Bloody Brilliant: The Next Twilight Heartthrob".


Riley
Riley was a newborn vampire in Eclipse. Victoria created him about a year before the story began, as the leader of her newborn vampire army in Seattle.

The newborn vampires were very strong, but volatile and hard to control. Apparently, they fought amongst themselves, so that by the time they showed up in Forks, there were only 18 newborns left with Riley. Riley, being a year older, had more control and maturity than the other newborns.

When Bella first met Riley, Bella described Riley as, "the blond boy...muscular and tall, maybe my age when he was changed." (page 541, Eclipse)

Victoria had seduced and manipulated Riley so that he would help her murder Bella. (Apparently, Riley and Victoria will share a highly-anticipated kissing scene in the movie.)

Edward told Riley about Victoria, "She's lying to you, Riley...She doesn't love you, Riley...Every kiss, every touch was a lie...You don't have to die for her lies." (pages 543-544, Eclipse)

I guess we'll have to watch the movie to see what Riley will do. And with Stephenie Meyer's new story, "The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner" coming out a few weeks before the movie, perhaps we'll get even more juicy background information about Riley and the other newborn vampires.

So, now that we've all seen the new Eclipse movie trailer, which features Riley leading the newborn vampire army, what do you think? Is Xavier Samuel a good choice to play Riley?

Results of our Polls about the Twilight Saga Soundtracks

Thanks to everyone who voted in our sidebar polls, "Which Twilight Saga soundtracks have you bought (or plan to buy)?" and "Which movie's soundtrack do you prefer?"

The polls are closed and the results are...

Which Twilight Saga soundtracks have you bought (or plan to buy)
Twilight soundtrack: 4 out of 4 votes (the winner by 1 vote!)
New Moon soundtrack: 3 out of 4
Eclipse soundtrack: 3 out of 4
Breaking Dawn soundtrack: 3 out of 4

It looks like most of plan to buy all the soundtracks, even if we don't know what's going to be on them yet!

Which movie's soundtrack do you prefer
Twilight: 4 out of 5 (the clear winner!)
New Moon: 0
Both are equally good: 1 out of 5

I'm really surprised that New Moon didn't get more votes. I really liked the soundtrack, especially "The Meadow."

Next sidebar poll: Eclipse Trailer
Our next sidebar poll asks "What did you think of the first full Eclipse trailer?" (click here to watch it.)

Don't forget to watch the next Eclipse trailer on the Oprah show this Friday, April 23rd. As soon as the new trailer is available online, we'll post it on our blog, too!
