Cast and Crew Head Back for Some Extra ‘Twilight’ Shooting
Filed under: Horror, Romance, Fandom, DIY/Filmmaking, Newsstand
No, Twilight fans — it’s ok! This is good news and it isn’t going to result in a delay of the motion picture. Summit wouldn’t break your hearts like that. Even though the clock is ticking, the studio is taking a bit of time to smooth out the movie’s kinks. According to MTV, they’re going back and filming some extra scenes, months after principle photography wrapped — a move planned long before Twilight snagged the vacant Harry Potter date.
It isn’t because anyone’s dissatisfied with the film — the cast insists the opposite is true. “They liked it so much, they’re bringing us back for some encore time - to beef it up,” states Peter Facinelli, who you all know better as the vampire Carlisle Cullen. “A tiny salt and pepper.” Taylor Lautner, the head of this whole “Team Jacob” thing, says that rehearsals for the new scenes were “a ton of fun” and that they’re just to clarify a few plot points. “I know they’ve been showing it to some people, and some people go, ‘I want to see a tiny more of this,’ or, ‘I don’t quite comprehend this,’ ” he explained.

“Our friendship can be tested anywhere.” - Rusty to Calvin
Since it’s July 9, 2007, premiere on ABC Family, Greek has been one of weekly Television guilty pleasures. I’ve been enjoying its light and fun stories as well as the evolving and imploding relationships and friendships between the characters.
Haley Joel Osment Making His Comeback on Broadway
Filed under: Casting, Celebrities and Controversy
We hadn’t heard from child star extraordinaire Haley Joel Osment for a while — at least not in any productive way. His last film (not counting the unreleased Home of the Giants) was the mediocre 2003 coming-of-ager Secondhand Lions; since then, news about him has mostly involved automobile accidents and drunk driving. But thankfully, things seem to be turning around. The actor, now 20 years old, will star in this fall’s Broadway revival of David Mamet’s challenging American Buffalo, alongside John Leguizamo and Cedric the Entertainer. I’m assuming that he’ll be taking on the role of teenaged Bobby, played by Sean Nelson in the 1996 film. Not a massive part, but being one of a cast of three on Broadway certainly isn’t trivial.
So few child stars make a successful transition into adult careers, but an actor of Osment’s caliber deserves one. (The Sixth Sense is all well and good, but A.I.’s “David” was a masterpiece.) Now that he’s no longer an adorable moppet, he should probably aim for “character actor” rather than “star.” If that’s the goal, then American Buffalo seems like a step in the right direction; there are few things like a tiny Mamet to establish some thespian street cred.
