New Moon on track to beat box office of Dark Knight

by Peter Lang

New Moon is going ballistic at the US Box Office with its final three-day figure (plus midnight screenings) expected to finish just over $140 million dollars.
That makes it the biggest weekend of 2009, easily beating Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’s $109 million three-day performance.
It is already the third biggest weekend of all time and its Friday single day take of $72.7 million is the biggest single day in box office history.
Analysts are now guessing and double guessing whether New Moon has the ‘legs’ to beat last year’s mega hit The Dark Knight which grossed a phenomenal $533,345,358 in the US alone.
After three days Batman was around the $150 million mark so not much difference there but New Moon will have to have a solid second weekend with a drop off of 30% or less if it has any hope of beating the final total held by Heath Ledger and the rest of the Batman gang.
Worldwide New Moon has also opened strong with an $118,100,000 total so far. In Australia the movie grossed an incredible $16 million dollars, also a new record for Aussie cinemas.
Stay tuned folks, next weekend will be make or break as far as beating Dark Knight records go. Can New Moon become the second highest grossing movie in US history. The Extra Source will be here to let you know and give its final prediction.

Twilight: Eclipse could be rated R

by Nathan Taylor

This is a bit far fetched if you ask me but R Patts (Rob Pattinson if your not a Twi-Hard) reckons that the third installment of the Twilight Saga Eclipse could get an 'R' rating.

The follow up to the box office hits New Moon is due out in cinemas mid next year.

Pattinson said in a recent interview: "It’s a massively different movie to New Moon. There’s so many more main parts, and having these huge battle sequences, I’ve never done anything like it in any of the other movies".

Umm yeah right R Patt's you would lose 90% of your market if the movie was rated R.

New Moon Breaks all Box Office Records

by Peter Lang

New Moon has broken all box office records to record a phenomenal $26.27 million dollars, the biggest midnight opening in movie history.
It’s already beaten the midnight take of both The Dark Knight and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
Even more incredible is that the take of $26.27 million puts New Moon into the Top 100 biggest single days of all time.
We’ll have more New Moon box-office updates for you right here at the Extra Source as the days roll on and this movie goes after the box office records of such massive recent hits as The Dark Knight and the Spider-man trilogy.

Harry Potter takes on Twilight on the Simpsons

by Nathan Taylor

The two biggest movie franchises of our time are about to take on the biggest television show in history. Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe is lending his voice in an upcoming episode of The Simpsons next season... but that's not all.

The episode will be part of the traditional Halloween episodes known as the 'Treehouse of Horror' series and the part of the episode Radcliffe appears in is during a Twilight parody.

Radcliffe will play Edmund (as opposed to Edward) a boy vampire who Lisa falls in love with. But unfortunately the fathers of the two love birds Homer and Edmund's dad Dracula don't approve of the union and endeavour to stop it!

This sounds like a great idea and is the first time Twilight has been parodied anywhere, so all fans of the BIG 3 and yes I'm sure there's lots of you, look out for this one next Halloween!

Twilight: Breaking Dawn to film in 2010

by Nathan Taylor

Twilight superstar Robert Pattinson has revealed the fourth Twilight Saga movie Breaking Dawn will start filming next year.

Pattinson made the announcement at a press conference only hours ago. There is talk the movie will be split into two parts (like they are doing with the next Harry Potter movies) however Pattinson couldn't confirm or deny that one.

From a marketing point of view splitting the film into two separate films is a great idea... but just how will die hard fans react?

The only bad thing about splitting the movies is if you're not a Twilight fan, it'll mean you're going to have to put up with the Twilight phenomenon for a few more years yet!

The sequel to 2008's Twilight New Moon hits cinemas next week and the third film Eclipse is due out mid next year! Here come the teenagers!!

The Vampire Phenomenon - feat TWILIGHT!

by Peter Lang & Nathan Taylor

The world is in love with vampires all over again.

The Twilight movie series and Vampire Diaries have become a part of modern day Pop culture phenomena.

As the teenage world awaits with bated breath the release of New Moon, the Twilight sequel on November 19, most of them weren't even born when The Lost Boys, another popular vampire movie, made its cinematic debut in 1987. Most of them were still playing with their Barbie Dolls when Buffy was slaying them during the late 90s in her hit TV show. Now, this same teenage audience is making vampires cool again.

Years ago, dreaming about vampires like Dracula would scare you silly. Nowadays, dreaming about vampires like Edward Cullen is something teenage girls...look forward to.

Robert Pattinson to star as a SEX MANIAC!

by Nathan Taylor

In an odd casting choice Twilight superstar Robert Pattinson is set to star in an upcoming British film called Bel Ami.

The movie which is based on a novel centres around a man (Pattinson) in 1890s Paris who makes his way to the top of high society by sleeping with the most elite and powerful women in the city.

To me it's hard to see him playing anything apart from Edward Cullen. But I gather he'll be happy to be speaking in his native British accent in the film.

This movie sounds extremely racy, so I wonder how his 13 year old fans will perceive him in this one. I bet they will be bugging their parents to death to let them in the cinema. HAHA good luck parents with that.

There were earlier reports that Nicole Kidman was set to join Pattinson in the film, probably playing a cougar after Pattinson... but her rep has now denied any involvement. Thank God cause that would be weird!

Bel Ami starts shooting in February 2010, so expect to see it in cinemas late next year.

Hot Shot #12 Kristen Stewart & Rob Pattinson

Being Halloween today the Extra Source's Hot Shots is making a prediction that people celebrating the scary holiday tonight will most likely dress up like these two.

Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart from New Moon are the hottest couple around right now so expect these two to be at your party tonight.

Or at least people that look like them...but not as good obviously!LOL

Eclipse - new Twilight movie FIRST ON SET PIC

by Peter Lang

The sequel New Moon isn't even out yet and already pics from the set of the new Twilight movie, Eclipse due for release on June 30, 2010 have made their way onto the internet.

The photo on your left comes courtesy of http://www.dreadcentral.com/ who describes the photo taken by Vancouver girl Vancity Allie as 'Here they are setting up what I believe to be a rain machine. Water will come through the tube and then is dispersed through hundreds of little holes along the beam. You can see that the buildings look old and historic.'
All night scenes for the third Twilight movie have officially finished with Director David Slade releasing the information on Twitter. On October 10 he tweeted:
"Just wrapped our last night shoot. Shot with Nikki Reed and Jack Huston all night. Now buzzing and unable to sleep."
A regular Twitter, Slade has kept fans up to date over the last few months on set of the new movie with numerous one line tweets like; "The rain is coming from a giant rain machine, but still, none the less brutal to work in." (Perhaps it had something to do with the pic above)

The shoot in Vancouver, Canada is proving to be a challenging one indeed for cast and crew alike but the end result is expected to be well worth it.

The new werewolves of New Moon - one for the girls!

She's one Bella of a girl!

by Peter Lang

What lengths people will go to for love is but one of the story elements explored in the upcoming popular Vampire flick 'New Moon' the sequel to last year's teen romance-horror blockbuster Twilight.
When Bella Swan (played by Kristen Stewart) finds herself broken hearted following the departure of her vampire true love Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) she can think of only one thing.
To find a way to be with him forever!
She attempts suicide in an effort to move from the real world into the world of the living dead in the hope of becoming a vampire herself and joining her lost love.
A friendship with a family friend Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) however seems to awaken her out of her depression but then pulls her unexpectedly into the supernatural world of werewolves.
It all turns into a complicated love story of sorts but the emotional drain of playing a woman with a broken heart was not lost on the 19 year-old actress who told MTV in an interview recently that the emotional pain her character was in was ; "Like, she literally is going to die, she's going to stop eating and be done....Just like everything in our movie, it's such a heightened version of reality.
"It's like, people don't just break up - they break up and it literally kills you," Stewart explained.
Stewart, who rose to prominence as a teenager in the Jodie Foster hit movie Panic Room in 2002, admitted playing a heart-broken Bella Swan was the toughest thing she's ever had to do, acting wise, in her 10 years on the big screen.
Insiders who have seen rushes of the movie say the performance could even earn her an Academy Award nomination.
Hey, it's Hollywood...anything is possible and it's just another reason why fans can't wait until the movie opens on November 20.
