Behind the Scenes of the Next Twilight Saga Movie Eclipse!

Can it get any better?

10 Cool Things We Learned from This Clip:

  1. It’s a war. A full scale war! Look at the hottie that is Xavier Samuel. Riley never sounded or looked so good.
  2. Bryce Dallas Howard knows her Victoria! What was once a hunt has turned into  vengeance. Will Bella and Edward escape unscathed?
  3. Lots of new faces. Specifically Jodelle Ferland as Bree. She is so cute!
  4. Elizabeth Reaser (Esme) and Peter Facinelli (Carlisle) sum up the supernatural interaction and cooperation that must take place in the Forks community. Kill some vamps but not all.
  5. Kristen Stewart hits the nail on the head: Bella is in love with her best friend, but not as much as her true love.
  6. Eclipse is promised to be darker and more intense, one of the reasons David Slade was hired because his background is traditionally darker and more intense than the first two Twilight Sage films.
  7. There will be a lot of special effects with ropes, green screens, and technical stuff I can’t even name. So cool!
  8. Boys will be excited for Eclipse – more action!
  9. Girls will love it (duh!) because there’s more romance!
  10. I love Alice’s new wig! Actually I love all the hair and costumes I’ve seen so far in the video. A definite improvement over New Moon’s hair and wardrobe.

I can't wait! Is it June 30th yet?

Twilight Saga: Eclipse Movie Trailer #1

An extra 1:23 to squee over. (I see the meadow - I see the meadow!)

That was fast - somehow I thought the 10 second Eclipse preview was all we were going to get for a while unless you went and saw Remember Me in theaters.

Is it me or were all of Jacob's lines delivered in the same tone for the trailer? Weird. Perhaps it's me being bias again. I wouldn't be surprised. I can't wait for Jacob to get smacked upside the head. Seriously, it's one of the scenes I'm most looking forward to in the movie.

Did you see Edward's eyes when Jacob says, "You have to consider the idea that I might be better than her?" Aw... I want to hug him. You know he's thinking, "Yes, I have." Poor Edward. Luckily he's not stupid and learns from his mistakes in New Moon.

Volturi and Jane - woot! Fun to see them compared to Victoria - dark cloaks versus flaming red hair. Victoria by the way for those who don't know is now being played by Bryce Dallas Howard instead of Rachelle Lefevre. I don't know the reason for this switch however. Does anyone know? I found a little something about the controversy. How did I miss this? It seems like it should have been really big news, but it went right over my head. Hopefully Bryce is good in the part.

Who's going to have a party? I totally am (even if it's a party of one lol I'm going to have to find someone to drag to the theaters with me on opening night). Here are some ideas to check out for games, snacks, prizes, decorations, and more:

10 Second Eclipse Sneak Peak

Gut reaction: gah!

I want more than 10 seconds! Where's the bonus 20%? I could use 2 more seconds. :P

Give me Robert Pattinson. Seriously, that boy is sex on a stick. As I said on Twitter who ever delivers him to my door for Christmas will have my eternal gratitude.

Kristen Stewart looked very Bella-esque. That makes me happy. I hate scenes where her makeup and clothes make her look more like herself and less like the character.

Also Taylor Lautner delivered his line with excellence. I still think the line is a bit creepy (in context... it could be romantic in other situations) and shows that his love isn't going to follow Bella if she isn't human. It'd be like Edward saying, "I'm going to fight for you until you turn furry." I don't think he'd say that, do you?

Go Team Edward! (I know there are some Team Jacob fans out there in Romancelandia but I just don't get it.)

I can't wait for June 30, 2010. Can you? I'm so going to be in the theaters at the midnight showing opening day. Anybody planning to party while in line for Eclipse? You know you'll be there at least 3 hours early to get the best seats and possibly longer depending on where you live.

What do you look forward to the most? I want to see the tent scene and the end scene in the meadow and Bella breaking her hand on Jacob's face and Edward's subsequent growlies. Swoon. Am I a nerd or what? :)

Curvalicious: A New Romance Line

by Karen Jones, guest blogger and Promotions Manager for Accomplice Press.com

Accomplice Press is proud to announce a new romance book line called Curvalicious.

Here at Accomplice Press we love a good juicy romance and a few of us are vivacious, full-figured women, so we are extremely excited to bring this series to our readers.  The Curvalicious line will be short novella length romance stories that showcase plus-size heroines in a very positive light.  These curvy, inspirational women are beautiful, strong, sexy in their own ways and intelligent.  The best part is that Curvalicious women always get the man of their dreams without losing weight or changing who they are on the outside.  The stories will be available in e-book format with periodic print anthologies.

As publishers and women we feel that there are countless romance lovers who don't see real life females, like themselves, portrayed in the books they read.  We offer books that stimulate hope and build self confidence while entertaining with enticingly creative plot lines spotlighting the voluptuous heroine's point of view.  Our selections always depict relationships between a hero and heroine that are fully realized by the end of the story with a "happy ever after" or "happy ending for now".  Romance novels should be like a warm sunny day in the middle of the coldest winter night, we strive to make that happen with every turn of the page.

"Society and the media have convinced women that men won't find you attractive if you are double-digit sizes.  This is reinforced by the romance book industry.  The leading terms used to describe a heroine are slender, thin, lithe, small, and tiny.  Real women read romances, and real women deserve to be able to relate to the heroines.  Romance stories are about fantasies, and as a large woman, I personally do not find it satisfying to fantasize about a man touching a body that I can't relate to.  I also happen to know that men love women of all sizes.  Sexy comes from within.  That is why I created Curvalicious." --DJ Alling, CEO, Co-Founder of Accomplice Press and Editor in Chief

At Accomplice Press we realize that the word "romance" means different things to different people so Curvalicious will have two distinct categories based on the relationship's heat level. Curvalicious Sweet is romance with sweet or sensual love scenes, but no explicit language or sex. Curvalicious Spicy is erotic romance containing explicit language and sex scenes. The first book released in this series is a spicy but touching romance called A reason to Stay by Delinda Jasper.  The heroine Ellie is ready to move far away from the home and man she loves because she doesn't feel her best friend Jake will ever feel the same way.  After an amazing evening together she wonders if she's lost him forever.

In conjunction with this groundbreaking launch Accomplice Press is holding a Curvalicious writing competition.  Beginning on Valentine's Day, February 14, 2010 and ending at midnight on May 14, 2010, we'll be accepting submissions in two different categories, one sweet and one spicy.  On May 28, 2010 two winning entries will be announced on Accomplicepress.com, then contracted and published in e-book format by the publisher.  The top three submissions of each category will also be included in the first Curvalicious print anthologies.  Curvalicious contest entries must be sent to curvecontest@accomplicepress.com. The specific guidelines for sweet and spicy submissions, word count and formatting requirements are all available at our website accomplicepress.com.

Accomplice Press may be a new kid on the block but we aren't amateurs, instead we're perfectionists striving for literary excellence.  Accomplice press is NOT a self-publishing company; we are a full service, boutique-style publisher dedicated to being a partner to our readers and authors.

Happy reading and writing…good luck authors!

Eclipse Party Game Ideas

The official countdown for June 30th has begun. That means it’s time to get ready for your Eclipse party. Every Twilight themed party needs games. Below are some of the games you can entertain your party with while waiting in line or at home before/after the movie:


Eclipse Movie and Breaking Dawn

Forks Yearbook:

You will need paper, pencils, and a timer.

How to Play: Players have one minute to name all the characters, actors, and places in the Twilight Saga that start with any given letter of the alphabet.

Who Wins: The person with the most names listed or with the most unique names listed (derived by crosschecking everyone’s lists) wins.

Twilight Charades:

Divide the group into Team Jacob/Werewolves and Team Edward/Vampires. Evenly. If there’s an odd number, have the person who sits out designate what the others will act out and keep time.

How to Play: Every member of the Jacob/Werewolves Team will impersonate a vampire or human character. It’s up to Team Edward/Vampires to figure out who they are as quick as they can. Afterwards it’s time to switch and the Edward/Vampire Team will impersonate a werewolf or human character (preferably different humans than already depicted) with the Jacob/Werewolf Team guessing.

Who Wins: The team with the shortest time wins!

Alice’s Visions:

(Game Name taken from Twilight Scene-It.) You will need paper and pencils or a chalkboard/dry erase board and chalk/markers.

How to Play: Players will try to stump the group by drawing scenes from the Twilight and New Moon movies. Each drawing is given three minutes. How many turns taken depends entirely on the amount of players participating, if necessary divide group into teams again. For every drawing guessed correctly, the guesser/team will get a point. In team play, if at the end of three minutes the scene is still unknown the team of the drawer will get one minute to guess. If they get it right the team earns two points.

Who Wins: Team with most points.

Eclipse Jeopardy:

If a small party, play as individuals. If a large party divide into teams.

Set up: You will need index cards, pencils, and tape. Come up with 5 questions to fit 6 categories for a total of 30 questions. Put the questions and answers on one side of the index card and the value amount for the question on the other side. Create a board from the index cards by taping them up on a wall or window.

How to Play: A player or team will pick a category and dollar amount. Someone will take the index card down and read the question on the back. A correct response earns the dollar value of the clue. If the response is incorrect, reveal the answer and no points are distributed.

Category ideas include: Individual Actors, Entire Cast, Movies, Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Vampires, Werewolves, Humans, and Stephenie Meyer.

Who Wins: The person or team with most money at the end of the game.

Newborn Hunt:

Play in backyard, at a local park, or soccer field. You will need a flashlight and perhaps a pair of extra batteries.

How to Play: This is a mix of hide and seek and tag. Players try to hide from the seeker who guards the jail or safety zone depending on rules. If it is the jail, then all players hit with the light must go to the jail and wait. If it's the safety zone, players will try to get there while avoiding the seeker.

Additional Ideas for Game Play:

  • Have players form pairs or teams. Any untagged pair or team member can release a caught person from jail.
  • If teams are formed and there's no jail, just a safety zone, you can play by points. Team with the most safe people at the end of two rounds wins.
  • Play starts with just the seeker, no teams, as the seeker tags other players, these players join in the hunt. The winner is the last man standing. If a new round begins, the last player tagged is now the seeker.

Who Wins: No real winner. Game is ongoing as the seeker position is handed over, usually to first person tagged.

Standard Games:

Eclipse Game Prizes and Party Favors:

If you’re interested, here are some ideas for party prizes and favors.

Thank you for your visits, your comments, your guest reviews, your guest blogs, and your friendship. My New Years resolution for myself and LRP is simply this: read more books, blog more, and make more friends! Here's to a great year ahead!
