Bella’s Mom Renee Dwyer (Sarah Clarke) Talks About the New Moon Film

Sarah Clarke, who also stars in Trust Me and 24, plays Bella’s mom Renée Dwyer in the movies based on the popular Twilight Series novels by Stephanie Meyer. MediaBlvd caught up with her recently to find out what she thought about Twilight and the upcoming New Moon–

MediaBlvd> Will you get more to do in the next film?

Sarah> I hope. Because it’s about the kids, they wanted to focus on them. The first scene was a really good establishing character scene for Bella and her mom, and they cut it down so much, I was like, “Oh, my God!” In the first book, the mother is written off as a nag, but they made a really good mom character in the movie. If she does come back, in a substantial way, a lot goes down with Bella in the second book and you would need your mom for. Being a mom now, and maybe I’m biased, your mom is a really important part of your life.

MediaBlvd> So, you haven’t read past New Moon yet?

Sarah> No. I don’t have a lot of time to read. I read Twilight so fast. I had the audition on a Monday, and I got the book the Friday before, so I read it over the weekend and I loved it. With New Moon, I’m taking a little more time with just because I’m working.

MediaBlvd> How do you feel about the change in director? Do you just go in and do your work, and you don’t worry about that?

Sarah> Yeah. I feel like there are reasons for everything. I think Catherine Hardwicke did a great job with the first movie, but the Harry Potter movies have different directors, and it’s always interesting to see how they can influence it. I think it will be exciting to see.

MediaBlvd> You’ve been involved with two high-profile projects, with 24 and Twilight. Do you get fans from both, or is Twilight overshadowing everything now?

Sarah> It’s a totally different fan base, in each case. With Twilight, people are so obsessed with that book, and they really want to know the ins and outs of what people think. Just going onto the first book, I couldn’t say anything about what’s going to happen next. I’ve just read New Moon, so I’m just now getting familiar with it. I would say it’s completely different groups of fans. With 24, I get very technical questions about the ins and outs of the CIA and anti-terrorist work. With Twilight, they ask, “Do you like werewolves or vampires?”

Decorate your room with a Twilight theme

Posted on the January 21st, 2009 under New Moon Movie by Caitlyn Howells

Do you know what drew me to the Twilight books in the first place? The absolutely gorgeous covers! I got to thinking about whether I could use the colour scheme of the books to give my room a Twilight theme.

What do you think of these ideas? If you have more then post them in the comments.

First off I need to paint the walls. I’m not sure black is such a great idea in a bedroom as it’s pretty depressing. But I thought about the red and white theme. It would be great to paint three walls a crisp white and then one a really gorgeous red - perhaps the one behind the bed.

That leads me onto the bed covers. Something in a deep red would be great, and it has to be warm and luxurious to snuggle up in. I was thinking about crisp white sheets and then a red velvet throw. I could add some black velvet pillows and cushions to bring some black into the room.

I really want to feature the red apple and red rose image somewhere too. Perhaps in the form of a poster or framed picture. I could put a vase of red roses on the dresser too. I’d also love an old fashioned jewelery box for my Twilight bracelet.

I’ll need a bookcase for all of the Twilight books of course; I think a whitewashed one would look great. To finish it all off I’ll add a couple of movie posters and perhaps a life-sized cut out of Edward!

Have you decorated your room with a Twilight theme? Let me know what other things I could do to make it look good.

Being Jacob Black

Posted on the January 21st, 2009 under Uncategorized by Caitlyn Howells

With all the Internet hype around the Midnight Sun draft I somehow completely missed the fact that Stephanie Meyer has written another story from the viewpoint of one of her other Twilight characters. Being Jacob Black is a short story that Meyer wrote which tells the story of New Moon from Jacob’s point of view.

So if you need another Twilight fix while waiting for the New Moon movie to be released you can download a copy here.
