Like most people who owned Team Edward shirts in 2009, I remember the Twilight novels for the cringey dialogue, the iconic love triangle, and the hand-wringing over its supposedly anti-feminist protagonist, Bella Swan. But when I recently revisited the saga to prepare for Midnight Sun, I came to an interesting conclusion: the way Stephenie Meyer represents Bella's agency as a character is actually sort of progressive.
Bella is often dismissed as a personality-less character, but her actions across the novels reveal much more depth. Bella is shown to be selfless, brave, sarcastic, and stubborn; she's also uncannily mature to the point where she's constantly referred to as an "old soul." Bella continually puts herself on the line to save people she loves, jokes around with Edward (something the melodramatic film adaptations leave out), and, most of all, refuses to back down when she wants something (especially when that something is superhot...

From the highs of Star Trek: First Contact, why did Star Trek: Insurrection become the most forgotten Trek movie?
“Ok, ok, so First Contact was a major box office and critical success, but it would have been so much better had all those great space battles been replaced with Riker having a shave in the bath.”
Said someone, somewhere, presumably.
Star Trek: Insurrection was the great hope for the franchise. The lessons learned from past failures. No more interference from the studio. Just put the right people in the right place and let them do their thing. It worked for Khan, it worked for First Contact, so it should work for Insurrection. Right?
No.
Star Trek: Insurrection stands in the unusual position of being a film that would have benefited enormously from executive meddling. If one voice had spoken up and said “this film has problems”, perhaps...

It was only a matter of time before a Twilight co-star was asked about Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart’s breakup. Michael Welch, who played Mike Newton in Twilight voiced his feelings on the split on May 19 while on the red carpet for the Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles’s Voice Awards.

Stephenie Meyer has journeyed away from the "Twilight" zone to create her first desert-based sci-fi tale with "The Host," the Andrew Niccol-directed adaptation for which hits theaters this weekend. However with all the current talk about the story's "love box," we realized there's definitely a running theme here within each of her stories: basic geometry.
Seriously! Think about it. In addition to being a supernatural story-slinger she's also a secret math wiz, which definitively explains why with each book she's been able to introduce a new variable or two and change the shape of the emotional constants involved just enough to create distinctly new formulas.
What began as a simple line between two hearts with the first "Twilight," for instance, wound up being a somehow still sensical rectangle of vampire-vampire-werewolf-hybrid entanglements. It all adds up!
So, sharpen up your pencils, students, because it's time to study some Stephenie Meyer-style story graphs.

Michael Welch Twitter account: Open letter to Twilight fans Michael Welch, Mike Newton in the Twilight movies, has written (via Twitter) an open letter to fans of the blockbuster movie franchise. The letter isn’t addressed to me, as I’m not a Twilight fan (or hater, for that matter), but it’s a good read all the same chiefly — in my view — for what Welch has to say about the casting process for the first Twilight movie, sometime in 2007.

Apparently, co-star Jake Gyllenhaal got tazed, Kendrick's got an obsession with Taco Bell, and she wants some male appendages. See the video for more of that.

Today, there are four new Twilight Saga cast film trailers to share, so to keep it short and simple, here's a run-down of the latest. First up, a new trailer for Maggie Grace ("Irina" - Denali Coven)'s Lock-Out, which hits theaters this April, was unveiled this week. In the film, she portrays "Emilie Warnock," the President's daughter who must be rescued from a hostile inmate spaceship (yes, you heard that correctly). It's a perfect role for Grace, of course, because she's got considerable experience playing the damsel in distress on-screen. Second is the promo for Michael Welch ("Mike Newton")'s latest project, Of Light And Darkness. Welch might've portrayed a human in the Twilight Saga, but it's clear he'll be tackling the supernatural himself in this one. Next, a trailer for Gil Birmingham ("Billy Black") and Julia Jones ("Leah Clearwater")'s film collaboration, California Indian, is now available. It...

After that, he went on to explain,despite all of that madness,"It really did feel like a real wedding in many ways. I sort of feel like my little group of high school friends, I sort of feel like we’re all real high school friends."

With "Breaking Dawn - Part 1" arriving so close to Halloween, I imagine we'll be seeing plenty of "Twilight" costumes again this year. A popular one for couples with a young daughter -- or, you know, one of those sons who looks like a daughter -- should be Edward, Bella and Renesmee.
What about on the other side of the looking glass though? Just because the "The Twilight Saga" characters live in a world of vampires and werewolves doesn't mean they don't still like to get their dress-up on for Halloween. In fact, I imagine the Cullens make a point to go all out with costumes as way to fit in as your typical (irrationally beautiful) American family. After all, they have lots of extra time to fashion perfect outfits -- not having to sleep and being immortal and all.
If the "Twilight" characters lived amongst us, here's how I imagine they'd be dressing this year.

What’s that awful, high-pitched sound, you ask? Why it’s your FABlife team squeeing in unison over the new Entertainment Weekly that just came out today. Because, as many of you have noted on Twitter: we are fangirls. We love this image for many reasons — the gorgeous couple is wet, Bella’s making her best f*ck me face, her hair looks real, there is wedding ring action. The accompanying interview is even better; Rob and Kristen “shush” each other like an old married couple and they seem energized by the project and director Bill Condon‘s enthusiasm for the film and the creative process. (Yep, we fangirl Condon too.)
But we’re particularly intrigued by Edward’s face of fear on the cover. While Bella looks like she’s about to lay some sexy smack down, Edward looks paralyzed with terror (sexy terror, we should add). So what...

Edit: Since posting this, both BooBoo Stewart (Seth) and Billy Burke (Charlie) have arrived in Baton Rouge to film, lending more support to Hollywood Life’s speculation.
It’s kind of fun to think about all the possibilities for filming. It really could be about anything that is going to be filmed in this park.
So what do you think? Let’s hear your speculations! What possible scenes would Mike Newton be in for Breaking Dawn? Do any other scenes come to mind? Does this park look more like a battlefield or a wedding site?...

New set pics, along with news of what cast has and has not arrived in Baton Rogue make it seem like Kristen and Rob are shooting their big wedding scene!
The massive outdoor set and green screen in Baton Rogue’s Arsenal Park seemed like a perfect fit for Breaking Dawn’s epic final fight, but it seems like it may in fact be for something entirely different — Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson’s wedding scene!
Seeing as Dakota Fanning and Michael Sheen were spotted in Baton Rogue all last month, it is safe to assume the final scene has finished filming. It would not take that long to film and as the scene takes place only in the Cullen’s yard there would be no need to use another location.
Sealing the deal however is the fact that actor Michael Welch (Bella’s friend Mike Newton) tweeted,”I’m off to Baton Rouge,...

Redblog, which is the official blog for Redbox, has a very cute look at the outstanding supporting characters in The Twilight Saga. What follows is their top 5 characters who are not the famous trio. Read more below and see if you agree!
5. Tie! Mike Newton and Jessica Stanley
– Bella’s friends provided the comic relief that was sorely needed in the first adaptation — and we all know that Anna Kendrick (Jessica) went on to make quite a name for herself in Up in the Air. I’m hoping for that same kind of break-out for Michael Welch (Mike), whose illness during the “Face Punch” scene in New Moon totally stole the show (and, to me, was the second-best part about that movie… read on for the best). I sincerely hope we see a lot more of both Jessica and Mike in Breaking Dawn.
4. Aro
– Michael Sheen as the leader of The Volturi was, hands down, the best thing about New Moon, don’t you agree? That’s why I was really bummed that we weren’t treated to another performance from him in Eclipse. For those of you seeing Tron: Legacy this weekend, tell me if you don’t detect a bit of Aro-ness in Sheen’s catty Castor.

A few weeks ago, Michael Welch ("Mike Newton" in the Twilight series films) let his followers on Twitter know that he'd be back to reprise his part in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1.
"It looks like I will be back for Part 1! WooHOOO!! Part 2, I'm not sure yet."
In the book, his character appears in Breaking Dawn as a guest at [*spoiler warning*] the wedding of "Bella" and "Edward Cullen" but is not discussed past that point. So, since it's all but guaranteed that this portion of the story will conclude in Part 1, Welch's return for that and not the second makes sense.
Team Twilight got the chance to speak to Welch after a screening of his newest film Unrequited, and he discussed a bit about his involvement with the Saga.

Jamie Campbell Bower ("Caius" in The Twilight Saga: New Moon) has taken to Twitter to confirm, for himself, that he'll be back to reprise his role in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2!

HollywoodNews.com: Either the Twilight franchise is running out of news, or Michael Welch is stepping farther into the spotlight. The actor who plays the minor character Mike Newton in the Twilight films suddenly got a lot of press this week. Though the actor hadn’t quite made himself scarce when it came to the films (e.g., he has done the occasional interview and appeared at some Official Twilight Conventions), to see so much of him so suddenly (even during a film premiere month) is unexpected.
So, where has Michael Welch appeared, and what has the actor had to say? E! Online recently reported on his verbose defense of Kristen Stewart with respect to her now infamous “rape” remark to Elle UK. “Look, I certainly see what she was getting at in terms of feeling violated.

Just a few weeks before "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" hits theaters, its stars are going to create havoc in Century City, Calif.
Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner will attend a "very special panel" on Saturday, June 12 at the official "Twilight" convention held from June 11-13 at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza.
Fans better soak up all they can, however, because according to the convention's website, the trio "will not be available for autographing or photo ops."
True Twihards will still have plenty of opportunities to hobnob with other "Twilight" stars though on the following days:
Friday, June 11: Justin Chon (plays Eric Yorkie), Tinsel Korey (Emily), Michael Welch (Mike Newton), Kiowa Gordon (Embry Call)
Saturday, June 12: Gil Birmingham (plays Billy Black), Tyson Houseman (Quil Ateara), Daniel Cudmore (Felix), Christian Serratos (Angela)

"Twilight" saga actor Michael Welch (a.k.a. Mike Newton) spills the beans exclusively to The Dish Rag about what's coming up in "Eclipse."
"'Eclipse' will be awesome," he reveals. "It's actually my favorite book in the series. We're introducing a lot of new characters. The vampires and the werewolves expand. There is a new breed of vampires. I know that all-out war breaks out. It's going to be really fun. A lot of my cast mates worked really hard in training to do a lot of the acrobatic stuff."
We're guessing he means Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson? Safe bet.
But about that rumored "Twilight: Breaking Dawn" 3D two-parter?
"I don't know if I'll be in that. Not sure yet. I hope so though," he says.
