So your teen jumps on the Internet and starts searching for audition opportunities. Or your daughter, who belongs to a "Twilight" fan site, gets an e-mail out of the blue from a "casting scout" for "Breaking Dawn," the fourth film in the series. Don't fall for it. According to Lana Veenker, who owns.
Lana should know. Not only is she a legitimate casting agent, but she's also the casting agent who gave people real parts in the first "Twilight" movie, which was shot in Oregon and Washington.
Which puts her in the hot seat these days when teens want to know how they can be in "Breaking Dawn. A good number have been asking Lana about ads they've seen online or e-mails they've received offering chances to audition. Lana says the ads and e-mails claim "the deadline is approaching to audition for 'Breaking Dawn,' very imminently. They say 'on Monday,' or 'in a few days. Lana followed the links in a few ads and in e-mails that folks forwarded to her.
She got to a page that claimed to be a casting call for "Breaking Dawn. People who signed up said that once they sent photos and contact info, they started getting messages, supposedly from the casting director.
But they couldn't read the messages unless they paid for an account. When New Moon was officially announced the day after Twilight dominated its opening night at the box office, fans were shocked to see Lautner not listed among the cast members. But it wasn't a typo, as the studio confirmed it was assessing whether or not the year-old could play the character after his wolf transformation.
I think he's great and tremendous at what he does," he told MTV. It's a matter of going with the storyline. But Lautner was committed to playing Jacob, taking on an intense training regime to bulk up as soon as production wrapped on the first film.
His prep included consuming 4, calories per day, eating every two hours and working out for two hours at least five days a week. While Lautner and his legions of fans enjoyed his physical transformation, there was one aspect to playing Jacob that the actor was didn't like: that wig.
Not fond memories. After dying her hair blonde to play Cullen family member Rosalie in the first film, Nikki Reed opted to wear a wig for the rest of the series to protect her hair.
This time around, we are testing out different wigs and stuff. More wig woes: After cutting her hair to play Joan Jett in The Runaways , Stewart had to wear a wig for Eclipse , one that earned a lot of eyebrow-raises. Leading up to Breaking Dawn: Part 1 , Stewart assured fans she would be rocking her own hair and revealed Summit really didn't want her to chop her hair in the first place. After originating the role of villain vamp Victoria, Rachelle Levefre was replaced by Bryce Dallas Howard who was first approached to take on the role years prior in Eclipse , and Levefre was not happy about the casting change, which the studio attributed to scheduling conflicts.
Newcomer Xavier Samuel won the role of Riley, Victoria's sidekick, in the franchise's third installment, reportedly beating out Channing Tatum and Harry Potter star Tom Felton for the role. Michael Sheen took on the role of Volturi coven leader Aro because his daughter Lily with Kate Beckinsale was a massive fan of the series.
I didn't think I was going to, but I really did. For Bella's highly anticipated wedding dress, production turned to Carolina Herrera. And they'd struck up a friendship and dialogue so we talked to Carolina for the dress," costume designer Michael Wilkinson revealed to MTV.
The problem with a custom couture wedding gown? The chances were high of it getting ruined, which almost happened due to the bad weather in Oregon, and they only had two duplicates. OK, but how did Edward get Bella pregnant when he's, you know, dead, and she's not? He walked toward me, quite close, and then passed me to put the remote down next to the VCR. I turned carefully to watch him. My apologies to those who were confused! Is she pretty or not?
Ironically, many of the details that are one hundred percent reality are the ones that are called into question the most as illustrated by some of my angry Amazon reviews. Personal story alert!
In high school, I was a mousy, A-track wall-flower. Then I went to college in Provo, Utah. Let me tell you, my stock went through the roof. See, beauty is a lot more subjective than you might think.
In Scottsdale, surrounded by barbies, I was about a five. In Provo, surrounded by normal people, I was more like an eight. I had dates every weekend with lots of really pretty and intelligent boys some of whose names end up in my books. It was quite confusing at first, because I knew there was nothing different about me. High school is to be endured. College is fun. Back to Bella. It explains the excitement over her arrival:. Today, all thoughts were consumed with the trivial drama of a new addition to the small student body here.
It took so little to work them all up. Just an ordinary human girl. The excitement over her arrival was tiresomely predictable—like flashing a shiny object at a child. Half the sheep-like males were already imagining themselves in love with her, just because she was something new to look at. I feel the best way to write believable characters is to really believe in them yourself. When you hear a song on the radio, you should know how your character feels about it—which songs your character would relate to, which songs she hates.
Know their favorite colors and their opinions on current events, their birthdays and their flaws. I think outlining—in a very non-structured, free-flowing form—can really help. I changed my outlines often as the writing led me in other directions—the outline is just a tool, not something mandatory that you have to follow.
She said if you want to be a writer as a profession, then treat it like a job. Put in the hours. Set aside time for writing, and then make yourself sit down and do it. With New Moon and Eclipse , I wrote out whichever scenes I was interested in, rather than starting at the beginning and working through to the end. I wrote most of the books in scenes, and then went back later and tied the scenes together.
And it makes it easy to finish. By the time you get around to writing the less exciting transitions, expositions, and descriptions, you already have so much done!
But you really need an outline to work that way—to keep from getting lost! Here are my recommendations on getting published: first, finish your book completely. And try not to focus on the publishing part while you write—tell yourself a story that you really love. You have a better chance of getting someone to look at your query if you give them exactly what they want.
Be brave, even when you get rejections. All bestselling authors got rejections.
