"Cullens - The Beginning" Movie or not?



I had a lot free time today to think about many things. Some were mundane, others were a little stressful since my life lately has been filled with stress...but being the responsible woman that I am, I didn't want to deal with the stress and just concentrated on mundane stuff...(yes, very, very responsible of me).

One of the things that came to mind were the Cullens. Why? Because they are awesome and I love'em all! (yes, including Rosalie). The Twilight Saga are pretty much my escape medicine from stuff that might send me over the edge, so I read the books a lot, and since I read today the filming dates of 'Eclipse' were released, I started thinking about films in general...Films that were Twilight related anyway.

Its no news that 'Breaking Dawn' is going to be made a film, but for some reason the Saga doesn't stop there. Stephenie Meyer had started writing Midnight Sun - Edward's Point of View of Twilight..but because of bad decisions of irresponsible people, Mrs. Meyer put a halt to that project indefinitely. However, she gave a tiny taste of her writing by releasing on her website the first twelve chapters of the unfinished novel. Based on those chapters, I'm thinking is going to be great! (Hopefully she decides to lift the punishment she placed upon her innocent fans and finish that book!) Anyone who loves Edward will fall in love with that new vision of Twilight...(and we all know how many Team Edward are out there). So yes, the novel will be loved, but what if it was made a movie? Will that be loved as well? (Thinking the book will be finished).

I pondered on that question a lot, and I concluded with a 'no'. There's just no mystery there anymore. If Midnight Sun is ever made a film, it will be with the resolution of remaking Twilight, and call me crazy, I just don't think many people will be happy about that. Maybe some fans would get euphoric about the idea of Twilight being remade, no matter how repetitive it might be, but there aren't that many out there with those same sentiments to make the movie a complete success. Or maybe there is...I really couldn't say for a fact, it's an assumption of mine, I'll take a worldwide poll later to find out the real number...In the mean time, lets get to my point...

What I'm trying to get at, is that I was thinking of a WHOLE NEW movie. Its still based on the Saga, but Stephenie Meyer didn't write it as a whole novel, she told it in pieces. I'm talking about on HOW the Cullens came to be.

Each Cullen member has a interesting story on how they became a vampire and eventually came together as a family (not coven). If you've read the books, than you know those stories, and if you're like me, you've found them pretty darn interesting as well.

Just think about Carlisle and his beginning...It took place in the 1600s..In his time, there were hunters who persecuted witches, werewolves, vampires..(that should be interesting to see in film). Think about how he was created and how he adopted his new way of existence. Think about how he ended in Italy with the VOLTURI! (I would love to see more of them).

What about Edward and his story. We already saw a tiny bit how he was created in the film of Twilight. But how cool it would be to see him in his rebellious years when he was a REAL vamp..The dark predator, the indestructible merciless god who gave HIS type of punishment to those who had a dark soul. How about to see how he was BEFORE he went to forks where his existence will forever be changed?

How amazing will it be too see ALL of the Cullens stories connecting in one big film; Rosalie's, Emmett's, Jasper's, Esme's, and precious little Alice! Can you just imagine? This will actually be a completely DIFFERENT VAMPIRE movie!! And you know what the best part of this film will be? (not to be mean) but there will be no Bella!

Now, now, don't get me wrong, I love book Bella, is just movie Bella I kind of have a problem with, but that's besides the point. What I'm saying is that it would be great to create a completely vampire movie solely on the Cullens.

Stephenie Meyer broke a lot of vampire rules, and some people don't seem to understand that. I like HER vision of vampires. See, in her vision, the vampires are on TOP of the food chain. The only who can destroy them are their own species or werewolves. Not a slayer, not garlic, not sun, not cross, NONE of that silly stuff...Just hardcore marble skin vamps, and behemoth angry dogs can ever destroy to pieces such a bloodcurdling creature. Oh, and I can't forget the fact that she got rid off the FANGS! Love it! She created razor sharp venomous teeth..Now THATS a vampire I love! You know why? Because every time I see fangs, it made me laugh or I rolled my eyes...I just thought it was too silly, as if trying really hard to scare me...yeah, sorry, it didn't work for me.

So seeing Stephenie's vision of vampires will be amazing on film. Of course it will be great if the production delivers the story the way it should be. They will have to forget that Stephenie's novels were targeted to teenagers. For some reason thinking that teenagers will see the film makes them hold back on how much darkness should be unleashed, they don't want to send out the wrong message to the poor little darlings. Oh give me a break! Some people have to give more credit to teenagers..Most of them are more intelligent than a ton of "adults" that I know. But anyway, back to the movie idea.

While I was thinking of all this through, I came to stumble with one tiny problem...(just in case Summit reads this and says..."wow, great idea...lets' get to work on it")...Will the main actors work on a fifth Twilight movie? And when I say "main" I'm really thinking of ONE in particular....You can guess who, right?

Oh RPattz...such a desirable talented man with a very difficult life when it comes to the spot light, will HE come back to the fifth movie? I would think yes if they give him a very well written script. BUT, this is linked to Twilight, and well, as much as he might love the story, (As a lot of us do) I just don't think he likes what Twilight brings out of certain people. Twilight is not only linked to a great characters, but also to chaos. Will he want to get contracted to THAT again? Hm, yes, IF by that time he has better handle on his fame, if not, than no..he will run so fast that we'll only see his beanie hat flying in the air.

But lets say that everything goes great..Summit likes the idea, and all the main actors of the Cullens agree to come back. Would you like "Cullens - The Beginning" ...(or maybe just "Cullens")...to be made?......Ok, fine!....Forget about the title .... just think about the story ... would it be great to see it on the big screen? ....Or do you think I should stop thinking about silly things and concentrate on my stress and fix my real problems? Well, you let me know...

Rob Pattinson, Papz, and "Fans"


This week it has not been a good week for our golden boy Rob Pattinson.

When he got up early Monday morning to go to work, I can bet that he was excited to go on set. He has declared several times on interviews how much he likes his job, even though that job brings many consequences (crazy psychos for example) he still likes to get on set, put on whatever costume his character demands and get into action.


Did he, (or any of us) had any idea how significant that day was going to be? I'll bet he didn't. Did he have an inclination that not only paparazzis were going to be there, taking the best shots they could get, but also fans swooning after every step he takes, every smile he makes, or even every touch of his precious locks? Yeah, I think he had an idea. But what was taking by complete surprise (and made news everywhere) was what happened later that day.


Based on the pictures that were tweeted earlier that day, everything started fine, just only a few fans on location, Rob showing off his precious smile as he shoots his scene with his co-stars or as he walks around chewing a very lucky straw, with a cup of coffee on his hand while holding a ciggie on the other. Then, as some reports say, all of the sudden they call for lunch and hell breaks loose.


RPattz was lacking security that day, and some fans took advantage of that little detail and charged like a horde of mad cows after the guy. How many fans went to harass him? Exact numbers weren't said. But four girls (which I hope someone called the psychiatric ward to let them know four of their patients escaped) made headlines. Rob got a full hands-on choke by one of them, while her friends tried to get around his bodyguards so they can snap the pictures, or by following their mentally challenged wrestler wanna-be and hug him as well. Right then, Rob's "bodyguards" woke up (finally) and pulled those maniacs away from him and hurried him to his trailer.


What was Rob's reaction? Unbelievably he was smiling the whole time...(this guy is way too charming for his own good). Does that mean he was enjoying the madness? Hell no! According to some witnesses, he was completely freaked out...(you have to remember he is SHY and hates that type of attention) He only smiled the ONE shot for that crazy "fan’s benefit. But you can see in another picture how frustrated he was when he grabbed the top of his head with both hands.


Reactions to this kind of madness went wild throughout the rest of Rob's REAL fans demanding RESPECT for his personal space. What those girls did was completely appalling, everyone knows that..(well, everyone with their correct five senses should know it)...so more security for our golden boy was taken place.

For the next two days, security was beefed up...(I have never seen so much security on one person that was not a politician). Based on some pictures published by many internet media, he had five bodyguards walking around with him while holding an umbrella, while the NYPD protected the set from potential fan-attackers. Obviously when the rest of Rob's fans read this piece of information, were relieved (me included) that he was better protected but still questioning why Summit Entertainment didn't do this from day one? Or why were those guards not doing their job right by letting Rob be at a grab-able distance? That concern still lingered on the air, but I think some just didn't want to think about it too much and just let it go. We were just glad he had more protection so that the incident of Monday was not going to happen again. Boy were we WRONG!


Today, Thursday June 18th, was reported by RadarOnline that Rob was hit by a cab. (watch MSN Video Here) As you can understand the immediate reaction was shock and complete concern. After reading what caused the incident, the shock and concern was converted to complete rage. As you watched or read the news, Rob is FINE! He is not harmed, which is GOOD! But does that mean that everyone who admires him and looks out of his safety aren’t mad anymore? Of course NOT!

According to Ted Casablanca's post about the incident, Summit sources declared that what happened to Rob was blown out of proportion and that no bigger plans are in order.


Now, I ask the question; What will it take for the executives of Summit Entertainment, for SOME of the fans, or the very gracious and delightful (extremely heavy sarcasm) of paparazzi that the safety of a TOP celebrity is a major concern? Should I even go to the extremes and mention the late Princess Diana? Does anyone remember what happened there? Remember what caused the accident that resulted her death? I don't know if I should compare Rob to royalty, but his popularity seems to be going to those extends.


Obviously I don't want to go there because to even THINK that something close could ever happen to Rob Pattz is horrendous. But when I read those executives saying that they'll take action as the events "unfolds", it leads me to believe that they are waiting for something of to that magnitude (or close to it) to actually WAKE UP and REALLY protect their money-making star. Why go to the extremes? Why wait until something big happens for them to take action?


All news related to what happened to Rob today are declaring that fans were the cause of the incident. According to a witness account that wasn't the case.

Whether it was an uncontrollable fan, or a greedy vicious paparazzi that almost caused for RPattz to be seriously injured today, I think this a really good wake-up call...it was a tiny one, but a good one.


So please try to remember that Rob Pattinson is person, another gorgeous (very talented, and charming) guy who wants to work, eat, drink, in peace. If this type of behavior continues, you will be making his worst nightmare come true; Getting killed by someone crazy in a middle of a huge crowd.....(all this time I thought he was being paranoid, who knew he would be right about certain people).
