I can always rely on this site for some fascinating reads. Also thanks for the books suggestions I will seek them out. Interview with a vampire has always been my favourite vampire book. The film is one of my all time favourites and while Twilight wont be in that league (budget constraints being one of those reasons and script another) I am very excited to see how Pattinson pulls off Edward. So far I'm very impressed with his take and would love to see him in some of Anne Rice's work. A match made in heaven or is that hell. - helenw1 Sat, 16 Aug 2008 07:25:44 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/exclusive_articles/film_focus/tmf_goes_twilight/#comment-2239 I had to be a fangirl for just a moment to mention how absolutely stunning he is physically and to add that he comes off from all the interviews and media snippets to be a rather charming, funny,and outspoken young man! I think I'm done now ;D PS Anyone who hasn't heard of him should check out The Haunted Airman....or Harry Potter if you haven't seen it lol which is unlikely! - tdh004 Sat, 16 Aug 2008 06:23:45 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/exclusive_articles/film_focus/tmf_goes_twilight/#comment-2238 I'm so excited to see him in this! I KNOW that he will bring the depth needed for a character sucha as Edward...I'm inclined to say that he may outshine Kristen completely because his role seems more demanding and because she's already had exposure by US media for her previous roles whereas Rob is new to the game (stateside)!! I'm also excited to see Little Ashes which is a completely different role for him as Salvador Dali. This storyline is more dramatic and actually based on the artist during his younger years...i'm ranting but his star will only continue to rise from this point!!!! - tdh004 Sat, 16 Aug 2008 06:18:47 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/exclusive_articles/film_focus/tmf_goes_twilight/#comment-2237 Thank you for the article. I cannot wait for Twilight to come out Nov 21st. From what I've seen so far, I'm completely in love with the film. Robert Pattinson portrays a flawless and wonderful Edward Cullen. He's a very diverse actor, I can't wait for the world to fall in love with him. ;D - Priscilla Sat, 16 Aug 2008 05:05:50 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/exclusive_articles/film_focus/tmf_goes_twilight/#comment-2233 I'm very excited to see Rob take on the role of Edward. From what I've seen of Twilight thus far he couldn't be more right-on...but more importantly, from what I've seen of his other works, I could expect no less from this gifted actor. He can express more emotion with a single look, than some could hope to express in a lifetime. He's done well choosing his roles thus far, from the lovable nerd of The Bad Mother's Handbook, to the sensitive but slightly crazed soldier in The Haunted Airman. However, it's the roles to come that I'm most interested in. The character of Art in How To Be, who is going through a quarter life crisis. And the controversial role of Salvador Dali in Little Ashes. Both, in addition to Twilight, will prove to many what we already know...that we can expect great things to come from this extraordinary actor. Back on topic, I have to admit, I was a great fan of Buffy and Angel. There's that 'forbidden love' thing again though...I guess I'm a sucker for that! (Seriously, no pun intended!) And many years ago, I was a huge Anne Rice fan. I merely got away from her works, but still hold them in the highest regard! - blearyeyedmesgirl Sat, 16 Aug 2008 03:37:47 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/exclusive_articles/film_focus/tmf_goes_twilight/#comment-490 Thank you so much for the article. I agree with you completely about Vincent Kartheiser and Connor. I was never an Angel-fan but started watching by accident about the time the baby was introduced. I was really spellbound by Connor in the end of season 3 and the beginning of season 4. I think he was phenomenal and such an exiting character. However, I think it´s a shame how his storyline turned out. They could have done something much better with the character. Especially with that actor. I think, that if they continued with "that" Connor (before Cordelia and Jasmine)I don´t think he would have been so hated. Refreshing to hear something else then the usual negativity about him. - Maria Tue, 04 Mar 2008 22:57:26 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/exclusive_articles/film_focus/tmf_goes_twilight/#comment-467 Hi Claire and Mars, thanks for the comments! While we disagree with Angel and Buffy, I certainly look forward to Twilight, and yeah, Vincent is one actor I come to admire, I forgot one of his movies, when he's still young, with that Star Trek guy ;D (was it mastermind or something...?) I do think the problem with Angel when Connor was introduced is that they made it a big issue- the conflict between father and son, and all those treachery and what not, it became so muddled up that viewers would either take the side of Angel or Connor, and since this is David's show, there were I believed a lot of the viewers becoming annoyed with Connor's character. His character development suck and while he tried to portrayed it the best he can, I think he was in the most inconvenient position to please the viewers... - Jed Mon, 03 Mar 2008 10:49:59 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/exclusive_articles/film_focus/tmf_goes_twilight/#comment-466 Just butting in to say I couldn't agree more about Vincent Kartheiser's portrayal of Connor on [i]Angel[/i]--he was absolutely brilliant. Unlike you I did love the show as a whole, but Connor stands out as the best thing about it to me. - Mars Mon, 03 Mar 2008 10:15:05 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/exclusive_articles/film_focus/tmf_goes_twilight/#comment-465 Hmmm I so totally agree with you about Twilight, :D, and while I haven't read Anne Rice's books, Interview with a Vampire is a great film, [b]but [/b] i have to disagree with you about Buffy and Angel. They were fab. And, in my opinion, the introduction of Connor is when Angel started to go down hill. I thought he was a rubbish character (the character, not the actor...i'm sure the actor was portraying him to the best of his ability!). In fact, I thought Angel only picked up again at the end of Buffy, when Spike turned up :D - Clair Couper Mon, 03 Mar 2008 09:27:39 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/exclusive_articles/film_focus/tmf_goes_twilight/#comment-460 Hi Anne! I think you know by now that I'm a big fan. While I stopped reading the other books in the Vampire chronicles, I collected almost all of your other books, including the Feast of All Saints and is now making my way into your new work. I know that you have been commenting at Amazon too, and while this comes as a big surprise, it's my honour to see you here. I don't really care if this is a prank or what, but the fact is I love your books and I'm a fan. That's all that really matters. The Vampire Lestat is an important book for me, an inspiration during some of my trying times, and it's great that I can somehow promote it to new readers. Best! - jed Sun, 02 Mar 2008 22:44:58 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/exclusive_articles/film_focus/tmf_goes_twilight/#comment-459 Your rather generous comments are appreciated. For what it's worth, I think MEMNOCH THE DEVIL is far and away the best of the roman-fleuve called the Vampire Chronicles, and it does seem to have the most sophisticated and consistent following. The publishers recently reissued it with an impressive and dignified cover, and it includes an essay by me on my earlier works. But you are by no means alone in preferring one small group of the books to the rest; and there is absolutely no consensus among readers as to which is the best. Though I find the warmth of feeling consoling, the wide range of disagreement among readers leaves me feeling ambivalent about my life's work. Thanks again, Anne Rice, Rancho Mirage, California - Anne Rice Sun, 02 Mar 2008 22:29:17 +0100
