'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' is already Amazon's #1 best-seller

from TwiExaminer:

The DVD/Blu-ray release date for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is nearly two months away, but already the two-disc special edition version of the movie has hit the number one spot on Amazon.com's "Bestsellers in Movies & TV" category!

The U.S. release date for the film is December 4th, of course, and in case you need a refresher, the features included on this edition are as follows:

•Audio Commentary w/ Rob Pattinson & Kristen Stewart
•Audio Commentary w/ Stephenie Meyer & Wyck Godfrey
•Eight Deleted & Extended Scenes
•Six-Part Making of Documentary (90 minutes)
•Photo Gallery
•Jump To… Edward
•Jump To… Jacob
•Music Videos (Metric, Muse)

It should be incredibly interesting to see how well DVDs and Blu-rays sell with Eclipse as compared with Twilight and New Moon. Both Twilight and New Moon had March release dates (since their respective theatrical release dates were also in November), so major gift-giving holidays weren't very near to them. This time, however, the winter holidays are just around the bend. Eclipse on DVD would certainly make a nice stocking stuffer, wouldn't it?

Nikki reveals 'Breaking Dawn' shooting to begin in less than 2 weeks

Nikki Reed tells Hollywood Life that shooting for Breaking Dawn will be start in less than 2 weeks:

While Twilight and Eclipse were shot in Vancouver, the star said the cast is first headed down south for the fourth movie. “I’m headed out there [to New Orleans] in just over a week,” she said.

While on location, the star will also be taking on another role — as a student! “I’ve signed up for five courses, but two were unavailable,” she said, saying that she plans to take language, English, and psychology classes in her free time.

So, what can we expect from Rosalie? Nikki said she wants fans to see the sympathetic side of her vampire character and hopes to humanize her. “I cross my fingers I can do it accurately.” In order to get back in to character, she said she re-read the book, Breaking Dawn and she has acting classes scheduled for next week and plans to prep up until she goes off to New Orleans! “I went through it last month once I got the scripts just to make sure nothing was missing.”

Nylon: 5 Seconds with Nikki plus outtakes

People always say they move to New York for “the energy,” but that’s not quite true. Really, they move to the big city for moments like last night, when we literally crashed (oops) into actress Nikki Reed. She was hosting the Swatch New Gent launch at the Gansevoort Park hotel, and once we got over the shock of tripping over a Cullen, we asked the actress and writer a few questions. Here’s what she said.

You’re wearing like four Swatches all together! You look like Molly Ringwald in an ‘80s movie! I know, aren’t they cool? I like how simple they are. I think I learned how to tell time on one of these.

Besides Twilight, you’re in a new movie, Catch 44, with Deborah Ann Woll, right?
She’s so amazing.

Did you guys bond by talking about being vampires? Ha, no! (Pause) Okay, yeah, kind of. We did. But even though she’s so great on True Blood, she’s so different from that character. She’s so smart, and a little bit introverted, and just so thoughtful about everything. I actually wrote a story about her and her boyfriend, who’s also wonderful, on my blog.

How often do you blog? As much as I can. Writing has always been very important to me.

You were a writer before you were an actress. Basically, yeah! It’s something I’ll always really love.

11 Things You Didn't Know About Robsten

Rob: On Driving
"My dad's a car dealer, but I grew up in London, so I always say I don't drive…I get driven. I got a driving lesson in Oregon, and then I bought a car in L.A. and I basically learned how to drive by people honking at me. I'm terrible at driving."

Kristen: On Cats vs. Dogs
If she could be an animal, she'd be a cat. "With cats, you’re like, 'Come here!' And they're standing there being like, 'Fuck you!'"

Rob: On Laundry
"In London, doing the washing was a biannual thing, a giant mission. Me and my flatmate had BMX [bikes] and we'd have two of them and this massive laundry sack, a convoy."

Kristen: On Menswear
"I think it's sexy when chicks wear black slouchy trousers — fitted, but slouchy. I look at designer clothes on Rob and I'm like, 'I want those pants, man.'"

Rob: On Anonymity
"I kind of wish people didn't know who I am, that I could just lie, say I'm a speechwriter for Obama. This is what I said before Twilight. And then Obama came along and picked up all these young writers. I found out this guy, Jon Favreau — who's not the actor Jon Favreau — is writing for him. And I was like, Wow, I wonder if the people who thought I was bullshitting at the time are like, 'Oh my god. That guy! That kid who was drunk in some bar actually wrote the health care bill!'"

Kristen: On Stature
"I’m 5'6". I feel like I should be taller. I feel like I'm smaller than my mental stature. I should be 5'10". 5'10" would be very good."

Rob: On Money
"I don't spend any money. The only thing I've really bought is my car, which cost $1,500 and keeps exploding. It would be nice to buy a house for my parents, but at the same time my parents are so comfortable where they live; they would probably just feel like it was a burden. I wear the same clothes every day and the only thing I used to splurge on was DVDs."

Kristen: On Acting
"Anything that I do for work, I'm nervous about. If I'm not nervous about it, then I shouldn't be doing it."

Rob: On Modeling
"I peaked at 12. There are so many photos from that time where I look unbearably awkward. I'd just be looking in random directions and stuff."

Kristen: On Baking
"I make really good pie. Apple pie — it's the best."

Rob: On Dancing
He says dancing makes him nervous. "I used to be really good, but then something happened in my brain."
