Cue screaming, Eclipse Premiere in LA
Thursday night the world premiere of Eclipse was held in LA.
Apparently, Twi-freaks had camped out days ahead in order to score tickets and get a glimpse of the film’s cast. Some of these people aren’t kids either, but adults (supposedly).
The entire cast showed for the premiere, including headliners Taylor Lautner, Kristen Stewart, and Robert Pattinson,who surprisingly didn’t get any flack about that quote from the NYT. However, he did complain in EW about bloggers, calling them nerds hiding behind computers saying negative things. That’s completelyuntrue! I’m not hiding. Ok, moving on….
The rest of the cast was at the premiere too, including Ashley Greene (Alice Cullen) looking like she was wearing a grey bed-sheet for a dress, and Nikki Reed (Rosemarie Hale) in what appeared to be the remains of some sort of bird. Guess when your co-stars get all the buzz, you do what you have to in order to stand out (cough-leaked nude pictures-cough).
Early word (from EW anyway) is that Eclipse is the best installment of the franchise so far, although considering the quality of the first two movies, that should’nt necessarily be taken as a ringing endorsement.
Word is Summit Entertainment has been playing hardball with the media. Bad reviews or snark could get one banned from future premieres, press confrences and interviews with the stars. With two more installments in the franchise to go, most media outlets are towing the line.
Haters to the left.
