Variety mentions in this article that the Twilight sequel, New Moon, will film for two weeks in May in the ancient Tuscan city of Volterra, Italy. Visual map below:

Stephen King delivers a smack down to Meyer in an exclusive with USA Weekend. The part that I liked best of the article was the analysis of the Twilight books:

"...People are attracted by the stories, by the pace and in the case of Stephenie Meyer, it’s very clear that she’s writing to a whole generation of girls and opening up kind of a safe joining of love and sex in those books. It’s exciting and it’s thrilling and it's not particularly threatening because they’re not overtly sexual. A lot of the physical side of it is conveyed in things like the vampire will touch her forearm or run a hand over skin, and she just flushes all hot and cold. And for girls, that’s a shorthand for all the feelings that they’re not ready to deal with yet."

How do you feel about the King's words on the quality of writing between Meyer and Rowling? I'd be interested - leave a comment!

Keira's favorite type of heroes are blind, scarred, and tortured... yes, she understands those should be separate, but all 3 at once is also nice! She enjoys historical romances best and adores audio books because great narrators turn books into auditory/mental movies (and she loves her romantic dramas like Pride and Prejudice/North and South!)
