Twilight & Knowing

Posted on Friday August 8, 2008, 15:05 by Olly Richards
Twilight & Knowing

We apologise in advance for any possible screams, but there's likely to be a strong reaction when Twilight unveils footage at Movie-Con. When scenes of the adaptation of the first in Stephenie Meyer's vampire romance series were shown at Comic-Con the squeals could be heard as far as Bora Bora. The film, directed by Catherine Hardwicke, follows a teenage girl (Kristen Stewart) who moves to a new town and becomes drawn to a hunky 17-year-old (Robert Pattinson)...who is actually a 108-year-old vampire. The books are already enormously popular, so see for yourself how it translates to film. Empire cannot be held responsible for any deafness resulting from fan fervour.

Also added to the schedule is Knowing, Alex Proyas' first film since 2005's I, Robot. It stars Nicolas Cage as a professor who digs up a time capsule at his son's school and finds that it contains a lot of predictions that have come true. Believing that the contents foreshadows the end of the world, he begins a race to prevent the apocalypse. Rose Byrne also stars.

Shocking stuff there, trying to fidangle top-secret movie-con footage from us innocent attendees!! Unless the thank you gift is to return one's sense of hearing, then no thank you.

As a huge fan of the book (Twilight), am I the only one a little worried by the lame-looking trailer?
I hope i'm wrong though!

Pleeease :-|, let there be some REAL questions asked in this one, and not just proclamations of love, rhetorical questions, or just plain silly ones. It was funny, exciting (embarrassing), and we got our laughs, but redemption is needed...Let's not scare the cast more than they already are ("sounded like Satan was coming", lol. Sigh....Oh, Rob :-}).


At the very least, let them finish answering the questions. :-/

Oh, and this is selfiish-but it's still not going to stop me from throwing it out there-*ahem* we should get them to answer a few questions from fans online, who can't/couldn't make it (a.k.a, ME. Hehehehe ;-})

Ah Ms Insomnia I'm in total agreement, IF and it's a big IF there is actually a panel for Twilight then I hope we'll get some real questions. I was almost ashamed to be a Twilight fan after seeing some of the SDCC footage. The poor actors looked mortified.
If you have a question let me know :-)
