Twilight: Jack Huston joins Eclipse cast

Jack Huston has become the latest addition to the cast of the third Twilight movie, Eclipse.

Huston will play Royce King II, a human who is indirectly responsible for the vampire transformation of Rosalie Hale, during the Great Depression.

Huston’s character will appear only in flashback, which means that the chances of an on-screen pout-off with Robert Pattinson are slim to none. However, it’s still the highest-profile movie to date for 26-year old Huston – nephew of Danny and Anjelica – who was last seen in the aliens-vs-vikings movie, Outlander.

With a 2010 release date of June 30 looming, filming will start on Eclipse next month in Vancouver, with British director David Slade.

The news follows our revelation of a very public spat between Summit Entertainment, who are behind the Twilight Saga, and Rachelle LeFevre over the decision to recast the role of Victoria in the Eclipse movie. Bryce Dallas Howard has now been given the role of villainous Victoria instead of LeFevre because of an apprent clash over filming schedules.

Meanwhile, this year’s Empire and BFI Movie-Con II is going to include not one, but two new scenes from The Twilight Saga: New Moon movie .

The film’s not due out until November 20, but fans will get a sneak peek at two key scenes at the weekend event.

A New Moon Cover Without Robert Pattinson?

Entertainment Weekly‘s fall movie preview features New Moon on its cover. Ahhh! Oh, but wait, no Robert Pattinson. Just Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner hanging out, getting close. In fact, the only time everyone’s favorite sparkle vampire pops up is to talk about Taylor.

“It was a stress-free job for three months,” says the Pattz. “All the pressure was on Taylor.”

So yes, this is a Team Jacob article. Kristen, who is actually looking more pretty than grumpy for this shoot, does her part and talks up her chemistry with Taylor.

“Just because of how I felt around him. I literally saw Jacob in him. We have that relationship. It’s lamely cute. I love that kid. I would do anything for him. I would kill for him, literally.”

As for her chemistry with Rob, she just says she’s not pregnant…

“It’s so absurd. I walk out of my trailer with my pants undone—and they think I’m pregnant? I mean, really?! They think I’m pregnant? Come on! Like, dude I don’t get it.”

OK, just to be clear, that answer was actually in response to all the tabloid nonsense she has to deal with; the Robsten situation was never addressed, obviously.

Now let’s get serious, because this is a serious movie. K.Stew had to explain the differences between New Moon and Twilight because Taylor was too busy showing off his flips…

Sexier Bea Alonzo in new movie ‘And I Love You So’

Manila – Young actress Bea Alonzo said she had to go on a diet and attend yoga sessions to be in good shape for her upcoming movie “And I Love You So” with actors Derek Ramsay and Sam Milby.

Alonzo, who gained weight while taping for the defunct hit series “I Love Betty La Fea,” obviously lost weight with a silvery tube-dress she wore during the renewal of her contract with ABS-CBN’s movie outfit Star Cinema last Friday, June 19.
 
The actress said she attended bikram yoga sessions to be in shape, which is a requirement for her role in the upcoming movie.

“This is for the movie. Actually kailangan talaga ng pelikula, and I’m working on for myself again para ibang Bea ang makita ninyo dito,” Alonzo said.

The actress said that aside from the yoga sessions, she has been on a no-carb diet, munching on eggs and bananas.

Alonzo said that aside from hard work and determination, it was her film director Laurenti Dyogi who challenged her to be fit again.

The actress said that as a proof of her effective diet, she lost almost 15 pounds in just four month. She said she can now wear the clothes she used in her 2007 hit film “One More Chance.”

Even with her sexy body, Alonzo said she’s still not yet ready to pose for men’s magazines.

“Sa pelikula lang muna… at sa fashion magazine lang siguro,” she said.

‘And I Love You So’

Giving justice to the character she plays in the film “I Love You So” was Alonzo’s motivation to have a perfect body.

Alonzo said she and her leading men are about to finish filming the movie.

“We are happy sa tinakbo. Talagang wow. Nakaka-inspire at alam mo na ang ganda ng tatakbuhin,” she said.

She added that she felt comfortable working with sexy leading men, Milby and Ramsay.
 
“Pareho silang interesting and ang sarap kilalanin. They are really kind and really nice,” Alonzo said.

“And I Love You So” is about a young woman (Alonzo) who lost her husband. In her solitude, she will meet a man (Milby) who is a complete opposite of her late husband.
