Heh. My nearly 17 y.o. daughter is about 1/8 native, and she asked if I could sign a permission slip for her to audition. (Unfortunately for her, the 5/8 English/Irish blood coursing through her veins has given her green eyes and a very pale complexion.)
She and her friends are very much looking forward to finding out locations so that they can stalk Rob Pattinson visit the set. She also heard that Rob has it in his contract that he has to stay out of the sun to maintain his fair complexion. (Duh. The Volturi would totally come after him it he sparkled in the daylight!) It should be an interesting few months.

My mistake. Even if it's old news, I still think after Eclipse has hit theaters, Summit and the fan girls will be clamoring for more. I guess I'm just curious to see if Rob and Kristen can be bought off.

I don't get why this "news" is hitting now: this was announced back in November at the time Summit also acquired the rights to Eclipse: LinkAnd neither RPattz or Kristen Stewart are signed on for this and I can't imagine why they would want to, as it seems totally unfilmable to me.

The only way I see RPattz and KStew signing on is if the movies get progressively better and less embarrassing (unlikely given the source material), or if their careers take a serious dive in the next 2 years. I think they would literally have to be unable to book any other job to agree to do this. Crappiness of the book aside, I think they're already starting to feel way too tied down to this series. Agreeing to do BD basically adds 2 more years onto their sentence. They'd be nuts to do it.

Agreeing to do BD basically adds 2 more years onto their sentence. They'd be nuts to do it. My qualms with the series as a whole aside, as a business proposition, I find the whole idea of the fourth movie a lead-laden investment. For books, series that go on for more than a trilogy make sense. As kali pointed out, if you're going to spend that much time on a series, then that probably means it's your meal ticket. You're going out of your way to be known as that character. You have to be a special actor doing a diverse slate of other movies to avoid that fate. And with KStew and RPattz (especially RPattz), it seems like a fate worse than death to be known forever as Bella and Edward. Myself, I'd rid myself of the whole business as quickly as humanly possible the first time I'd been introduced to the fanbase, even if I had to fake my own death.

maybe RPatz will decide to be a rap star and grow a really scraggly beard to get away from doing BD.

Okay, I keep hearing how cheesy these books are-like professional fan-fic, and now I have to read them for myself. (I don't know if I'll ever see the movies-I'd like to keep Robert Pattinson as Cedric Diggory, rather than a Sparkly Vampire)

Personally, I enjoyed the movie more than the books. The characters are much more likeable in the movie, from Edward and Bella all the way down to Bella's dad and the high school kids. I also think Pattinson and Stewart are hotter together than Edward and Bella ever were. However, I thought the book was crap, so I'm not exactly objective.
