The last week for me has been a little manic, Last Saturday I decided to try my luck at entering a competition on The Twilight Saga: Official UK Facebook page. To enter I either had to enter a multiple choice question or film a one minute video summarising the Twilight movies so far. I decided to put in the extra effort and do the video even though I absolutely hate being on camera and my voice being recorded.

I got a call at 17.15pm on the Monday informing me that I won. To say I was in shock was an understatement. I hardly spoke to the lady on the phone and cut my leg open jumping up from my desk.

Wednesday  15 – Thursday 16th February 2012.

The next few days were full of planning and packing. Due to lack of trains and buses to the airport I spent 5 hours alone in gatwick in the cold. When my friend turned up we checked in and headed on over to our plane. I am so glad that before leaving We met up with a fellow fan (Hello Monika!) because had we not, myself and my friend would still be in the airport.

After the short flight, we headed to our hotel and had a nap. (We had not slept due to the time of the flight). We then went about with the rest of our days.

Friday, 17th February 2012.

Friday was the day of the Berlinale events, Myself and my friend headed over to the hotel where the junket for Bel Ami was going on. We were greeted with a pretty poster, we collected our tickets and directions to the venue and went on our way back to our rooms and had lunch and got ready. We arrived at the premiere location around 3 hours before it was due to start and were shocked at how quiet (apart from a band that were playing) it was. There were a small number of people around in the centre of the carpet area. Me and my friend hopped to a spot on the barrier and waited.

Rob was the first to arrive from the cast, He headed straight over to the side that I was on which sent me in to a little bit of a frenzy. I can’t remember much of what happened but when he came to me my friend had to ask him for a photo with me on my behalf as I couldn’t find the words.

Courtney asked him to sign her small Bel Ami card/poster that a lady, who I assume was from Studio Canal or the PR company, handed out to everyone. I then got a photograph, my friend then got a photograph. Then my friend realised her picture didn’t actually take so she called him back to us and got another one and I too got my poster signed. After we met Rob we both decided that the other cast didn’t matter and that we should head inside to the screening so that we didn’t miss anything.

After watching the rest of the Red Carpet arrivals from the comfort and warmth of our seats  everyone took their (including Robs family who were sat just behind us), the cast; Rob, Christina Ricci and Holliday Granger as well as some of the crew from the film, walked in and sat just behind us (O.M.G!) They got up in turn and gave a wave to the audience. A lady introduced the film and the cast snuck out as the film began. The cast headed over the road to a cinema that had fans from outside in who were given tickets to also see the movie.

Once the film had finished and the credits had rolled (Film festival premieres are very different from general premieres), no one left and me and Courtney just sat staring at each other wondering what to do. The lights stayed down and the claps went on throughout the whole 7 minute credits. Once the lights came up, the cast came on stage. The ladies recieved flowers and the announcer from before asked Rob a few questions and then then cast left. I recorded the casts entrance, exit and question time you can view them on the links below.

The Film (Spoilers)

I may be biased as I am a huge fan of all of Robs projects but I think he was brilliant in this movie. He had great chemistry with the cast especially Christina Ricci. There are some really funny moments throughout which had the whole audience laughing, and angry Duroy is awesome.

WARNING: The film has a lot of sex scenes in it which may prove for uncomfortable viewing if you go with your parent(s).

Kristen Stewart Talks Badass Fairy Tales, Bella Swan, and Her New Leading Man on Snow White Set Visit

Last October, we were so excited to pay a visit to the set of Snow White and the Huntsman outside London. We got a sneak peek into the amazing world Kristen Stewart and her costars, including Chris Hemsworth, Sam Claflin, Charlize Theron, and more, inhabited while shooting the action-packed fairy-tale movie. We have tons to come from our day poking around the remarkable set and learning about everything from the costumes to the fight scenes. While we were there, we even got to see the aftermath of Kristen accidentally actually punching Chris Hemsworth in the face filming a scene. Check out our chat with Kristen and stay tuned for lots from the set:

Is there something you admire about Snow White?

Yes. It’s strange playing a character that you actually could never truly embody. Her spirit affects people. . . I can’t have Snow White’s effect on people. I can’t actually be completely selfless because nobody is. You can only really play a character like that in a fairy tale and play it with an awful load of integrity. She’s very fully formed, but very farfetched-from-the-reality-that-we-live-in type of person. She also is strong in a very different way than you’d expect. Strength, yeah, but also gusto. I mean, she’s strong. She can kick ass. It hurts very much to do so and so it’s not like you’re watching her go take down a kingdom. You’re not watching going, “Yeah! Kill him!” Really it’s more like you’re watching someone having to do something that doesn’t just go against your sensibilities or that you agree with. It’s gutting. It’s physically gutting, literally. A million reasons, but she’s special.

Do you like that she’s not like your prissy fairy tale?

Yeah, because that’s just a very surface, though she is prissy sometimes. That’s the other thing. It takes her the whole movie basically to become who I’m talking about now. I’m really sort of talking in retrospect. It’s strange. It’s a total identity movie. It’s all about not finding yourself, but actually just being OK with who you always have been and not being ashamed of being the only one who sees the light. It’s an enormous burden and she’s so stunted. She was put away when she was 7 years old and your mother and your father were killed basically right in front of you. We’re not doing the version of a fairy tale that wouldn’t deal with all of those things, where you just sort of skim over all those things, and it’s like all of these things are actually really important to the characters. She literally bleeds for her land and her people, and that’s just such a cool concept for me because it’s other people caring about people. It’s very simple, but it’s so common. Every day all the time you see people not caring about each other, and this is just about that.

She learns to be a leader or she’s born a leader inside, do you think?

She’s definitely a born leader. I mean, it’s literally pumping through those veins, but it’s been taken from her. She’s been so stolen from.

Is it helping you get into the character’s mindset to wear those cool costumes?

Absolutely. If you look down and something doesn’t feel like you would definitely be wearing it, or if you go to grab your knife and it flops around or — basically [Colleen Atwood] thinks about every detail. It’s so wearable. I also have puffy sleeves. Somehow she manages to make puffy sleeves look butch. I was always expecting to personally wind up in a — basically what I’m wearing underneath it, like that little blue dress, which is just thin and wispy. I was really happy that she’s got something heavy on — a bit of armor before she actually finds her own armor.

“It was creepy … in a good way,” special effects supervisor tells MTV News of creating the Kristen Stewart look-alike.

For all the “Twilight” fans familiar with “Breaking Dawn,” via both Stephenie Meyer’s source material as well as the movie “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1,” you know that the much-discussed, heavily hyped birth scene is one of the more graphic and disturbing scenes in all of Meyer’s mostly PG-rated world.

It’s safe to say that curiosity was fully piqued when it came to seeing how director Bill Condon decided to adapt it in the film.

In a nutshell, the scene is pretty graphic and cringe-worthy. For those who have seen the “Making Of” documentary with the recently released DVD/Blu-Ray or happened to catch the sneak peek MTV News got ahead of time last week, you’ve been introduced to the Bella doll that the filmmaking team used in place of Kristen Stewart for a few scenes. This week’s Twilight Tuesday brings you a few fun details about the making of the doll, to which I affectionately refer as “Robot Bella” (even though it/she is clearly not a robot).

According to John Rosengrant, the film’s animatronics and special makeup effects supervisor, the idea behind the creation of the Bella replica doll was to make the birthing/near-death scene appear as real as possible and to show Bella in her very emaciated form that Meyer describes in the book.

“It’s very hybrid, the approach,” he told MTV News. “We tried to shape the whole Bella, what she looks like emaciated and all that, but it’s also digitally augmented, and that was from the get-go, this was going to be a hybrid-type effect.”

If you look closely at the features of the doll, especially when Robert Pattinson is shown acting out that very emotional scene with it, there is a creepy element involved.

“It was creepy when we created the look of her, in a good way,” Rosengrant said. “I was actually shocked that that was the edict and I think that is maybe [credit] to Bill Condon as the director, wanting to make something like that real because the previous movies didn’t strike me that they would embrace something like this.”

The 25 Most Iconic Movie Kisses

Twilight

Even the most diehard members of Team Jacob can’t deny the romantic power of Bella and Edward’s first kiss. Kristen Stewart—who’s almost uniformly closemouthed about her off-screen relationship with costar Robert Pattinson—did offer “I get to kiss Edward Cullen,” when asked to name a few of her favorite things about the gig.

And so it should make the list!  I mean we all remember that moment right…?  

“I just wanna try one thing…Stay very still… Don’t move…”
