The insane amount of hype surrounding “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” had an intriguing effect on moviegoers. Not only did it expand the curiosity factor among potential ticket buyers in general, but it lead to millions of boyfriends, husbands and BFF’s tagging along to join their significant others in catching the second installment of Stephanie Meyer’s vampire romance saga. Chances are, besides the intriguing Volturi scenes at the end, they weren’t as enthralled as their dates. In fact, you can assume many of them might have even sworn off seeing the third film, “Eclipse,” this summer. And after the film’s first dramatic-focused teaser was initially released that would be hard to argue. On the other hand, last Friday’s debut of a new, intense, action packed and more thrilling final trailer will quickly make those doubts moot.
Gotcha.
Arguably one of the better trailers Summit has cut for the series, its placement in front of “A Nightmare on Elm Street” this week and “Iron Man 2″ over the next month will do wonders to bring those “casual males” back into the fold. Sure, they won’t admit it now, but give them enough time and enough battle filled TV spots without Taylor Lautner speaking and they’ll come. And if the reviews turn out to be better than the mostly negative critiques for “New Moon”? Well, shoot, their parents might go too. And that’s more than enough to put “The Twilight Saga” back in the top slot. As for the rest of this week’s rankings…
Posted Tuesday April 27, 2010.
1. “The Twilight Saga” (last week no. 9)
There ‘s the trailer everyone was waiting for. And just when you thought the guys were gonna skip out this time…
2. “Iron Man 2″ (same)
It was close, but considering all the hype that will hit with reviews breaking and a potential record-breaking opening, Tony Stark could deal with some humility in the second spot. For one week at least.
3. “Avatar” (last week no.
Just a record-breaking 6.7 million DVD and Blu-ray units sold in four days? That’s it? Sigh, you’re so not living up to your potential “Avatar.”
4. Sacha Baron Cohen’s untitled goat herder movie (not ranked)
We’re not convinced Cohen’s schtick still works beyond a small, hardcore fanbase, but most of Hollywood seems to be.
5. Walt Disney Studios (not ranked)
New studio chairman Rich Ross met the business press to present his strategy for the future. Word is lots of corporate speak and little creative vision. But he’s got time. Oh, and he hired a President of Marketing who has zero industry experience.
6. “How To Train Your Dragon” (same)
Back to No. 1 after a month. Yep, word of mouth can still do wonders.
7. “A Nightmare on Elm Street” (last week no. 13)
A lot of kids want to get scared this weekend. The question is: will they want a sequel?
8. “The Last Airbender” (not ranked)
The latest example of a last minute jump on the 3-D bandwagon. Considering the film’s competition, this might be one hail mary pass that actually works.
9. “The Avengers” (last week no. 4)
So, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige refused to confirm that Joss Whedon was directing “The Avengers” while doing press for “Iron Man 2″ this past weekend. Uh, come again?
10. “The Green Hornet” (same)
A preview is on the way and the naysayers will either have to eat crow or have plenty of ammunition to spew at Michel Gondry and Seth Rogen’s super-hero flick.
11. “Robin Hood” (same)
Boy, those TV spots are damn good. This one might open. Who knew?
12. “Sex and the City 2″ (same)
Soundtrack album details were released include Jennifer Hudson and Leona Lewis teaming up for an original duet and Liza Minelli covering Beyonce’s “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).” As one publicist remarked, “That the gayest soundtrack since ‘The Birdcage.’”
13. “Howl” (not ranked)
We love our peeps at Oscilloscope Laboratories. They champion films that need to be seen in theaters. Many that need special care such as “Wendy and Lucy” and “The Messenger.” Unfortunately, we’re not really sure this unpopular Sundance premiere fits in that category.
14. “Inception” (last week no. 10)
It still comes up in conversation with someone in this town at least every other day. That’s more than enough to make the list.
15. “Shrek Forever After” (not ranked)
Tribeca Film Festival premiere went fine. Early reviews, fine. Confusion over the title (is it “Shrek Forever After” or “Shrek The Final Chapter”?) not so fine.

Yesterday we bought you a gallery of Emma Watson and Kristen Stewart after both ladies appeared on the Times Rich List.
We also turned it into a bit of a style competition asking you who you thought was the best dressed, and a huge number voted for Kristen here.
However, a Twilight and Harry Potter face off wouldn’t be complete without the two main male stars so we’ve decided to give you a little treat and put together a gallery of Robert Pattinson and Daniel Radcliffe, who both also made the Rich List.
View the gallery below and let us know who you think is the most stylish and (since it’s guys) sexy by voting below.
Who gets your gorgeous and stylish male vote?
Daniel is sophisticated and stylish
Robert’s style is sharp

The drama heats up in the third chapter of Twilight’s wildly popular teen vampire saga as paramours Edward (Pattinson) and Bella (Stewart), reunited after spending most of 2009’s New Moon estranged, face daunting new challenges, not the least of which is a looming war between vampires and werewolves. Jacob “Let’s Just Be Friends” Black (Lautner), meanwhile, isn’t about to abandon his pursuit of Bella just yet.
What We Think: A more action-oriented director (Slade’s credits include 30 Days of Night) and a less angsty plot could help Eclipse appeal to more than Twilight’s usual following of tween girls and their mothers. But it probably won’t.
Cool to Know: Eclipse will be presented in 3D, which should render the frenzied shrieking of Pattinson-obsessed tweens approximately 30% more ear-piercing.

Keep in mind we have NO idea whether or not the 3D part of this article is true or not, as soon as we find anything out we will let you know!

Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Anna Kendrick, Taylor Lautner Hope for Haiti
As you may have seen, Robert Pattison took time out from filming in London to speak to a world-wide audience during George Clooney’s “Hope for Haiti” telethon on January 22nd.
Kristen Stewart, unable to participate in the telethon due to her participation in Sundance, later scheduled a dinner at La Vida with proceeds going to the same organization.
Anna Kendrick and Taylor Lautner appeared on the “Hope for Haiti” telethon, answering phone calls to take donations for the event.
Robert Pattinson: Aside from Hope for Haiti, Robert Pattinson has also raised money for amfAR cinema against AIDS by auctioning off his kisses! He also signed a guitar which went up for auction and all proceeds went to The Midnight Mission. Finally, Rob has donated some of his film costumes to be auctioned off, with all proceeds benefiting Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF)
Most recently, Rob and “Water for Elephants” announced that based on Rob’s March 2010 statement that his charity of choice is the World Wildlife Federation (WWF), WaterForElephantsFilm.com will be supporting Robert Pattinson’s philanthropy by spreading the word via their website and encouraging readers to donate to WWF.
I only posted the parts of the article where Rob was mentioned. If you would like to read the rest, you can find it here.

Dear Ted:
I’m a huge Robsten fan, but I feel I’m being played and you are the only one I trust, so please can you check this info. This person has a lot of details for someone who is making it up. Madera Clubhouse Restaurant, located in the Madera Municipal Golf Course in California. K.Stew is sitting at a round table between her mom, Michael Angarano and her brother. They have a no cell phone or camera policy, so no pics.
—Ludi
Dear Blind Speculation:
C’mon, how many times have stories faked M.A. appearances? Vancouver, Italy, now brunches with the fam? Can’t wait for the K.Stew/Michael Angarano wedding where someone happens to get a blurry picture in the back of a dark church. Oh, wait…
Dear Ted:
You pitted Robert Pattinson and Alexander Skarsgård against each other for two days straight. So who would you do? I personally love Rob for who he is and not just the muscles. He is beautiful inside out. Enough said.
—Valina
Dear Stud Selection:
Why can’t I have them both? As long as Skars splits pronto, Rob’s the one I want to talk with afterwards.
Dear Ted:
As an avid reader (all the way from London) and a devoted Twilight/Robsten supporter, I salute you! I love all you do for Rob and Kristen, and reading your columns about them often has me laughing out loud, as your opinion and occasional sarcasm are exactly what I would be thinking. It’s genius! So yes, just to say keep doing what you’re doing ’cause I love it! P.S. Thoughts on the Eclipse trailer?
—Jazz
Dear Eclipse of the Heart:
I feel about the trailer as I have about all of the previous ones before it. Who cares? Let’s just make sure the movie doesn’t suck this time. Is that being overly naïve?

Robert Pattinson turned up in Camden last night to show his support for a fundraising event held for the Chelsea College of Art and Design.
The event was held at Proud Camden a unique live music venue. R-Pattz was seen dancing and cheering on the bands and paid special attention to the burlesque girls, who put on a provocative performance in honour of their special guest.
Sadly for the female guests R-Pattz night came to an abrupt end when a guest DJ announced to the crowd that the Twilight star was there prompting R-Pattz to make a quick exit.

TWILIGHT fans, get ready to sink your teeth into this — Breaking Dawn, the last chapter in the movie saga, will start filming in October.
Christian Serratos, who plays Angela in the hit franchise, let that slip while in Melbourne yesterday.
Until now there has been no confirmation if the last instalment of Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling book series would be filmed.
It is thought the 754-page novel might be split into two feature films along the same lines as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, with hopes New Moon director Chris Weitz will return to the helm.
While Serratos’s Eclipse co-stars Gil Birmingham, Daniel Cudmore and Booboo Stewart remained coy about the film’s start date, the actor and sometime model accidentally let the cat out of the bag.
“No word is out yet,” Stewart said, to which Serratos quickly replied “No, October.”
Birmingham, who plays Taylor Lautner’s father Jacob Black, quickly tried to cover up the blunder.
“We could tell you, but we’d have to kill you – like we will Christian,” he said.
The four Eclipse stars, who flew out today, have been in Australia for the Twilight convention held at Melbourne University on Sunday.
Serratos said she had got used to the Twilight mania.
“People say it is like Beatle-mania,” Serratos said.
“But after a while it becomes second nature, I mean it has nothing to do with you and everything to do with the character you’re playing.”
