Last night, The Hollywood Reporter released a statement about Breaking Dawn. How certain actors, revealed to be Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene, were demanding thêm money for the movies.

Yes, the Twilight phim chiếu rạp are not at all Oscar worthy. They are films that are based on the sách we all seemingly love. They don't showcase the actors' talent, if they have any. các bình luận from different communities jokingly state that Summit would need to pay them alot of money to ngôi sao in the movies. Which, I'm sure is true for alot of the hardcore những người hâm mộ who believe that the phim chiếu rạp haven't done the book series justice.

Setting all jokes aside, and into a thêm serious note, I am somewhat troubled bởi this, hoặc bởi what the những người hâm mộ are saying. The Twilight Fandom has erupted into pandemonium thêm than once: Twilight cast revealed, Twilight's release, Rachelle Lafevre's recast, New Moon filming in Italy (Bella/Edward kiss), Rob and Kristen at Kings of Leon Concert, Robert and Kristen seen holding hands (arguably for some), etc. This "salary dispute" has cause a minor uproar in the fandom.

Some people are saying that Summit should just pay them. Some are saying that they wouldn't be missed if recast, and that they are replaceable with a better actor/actress.

What do I think Summit should do? Based on this report, not all the details were given. We don't know exactly what is going on besides there is a bit of a money issue. Drama, to put it into loose terms. If Kellan and Ashley are demanding thêm money, let's look at the cold, hard, evidence.

1) How big is Emmett's character in the books? And how big is Kellan's role in the movies? Answer: Not very big. And in the movies, maybe ten lines tops. Of course that's only Twilight and New Moon.

2) How big is Alice's character in the books? And how big is Ashley's role in the movies? Alice has a bigger role in the book than in the movies, but still, not a major character. Ashley is barely in the phim chiếu rạp as well. Of course, her part is probably growing due to a thêm complicated plotline.

Should they be demanding thêm money? I mean, we ALL know Summit is cheap and we are always ready to point fingers at them, but let's look at this closely. Why should Kellan and Ashley demand thêm money when their characters are minor? Surely their paychecks get a little bigger due to thêm lines in Eclipse, I'm sure, but why ask for an amount (unknown) that may risk in them losing the parts?!

Now, before I go ANY further, let me clarify. I HATE cast changes. I LOATHE them. When Rachelle was replaced, I WAS FURIOUS. And I would be quite upset with Summit if this fiasco wasn't settled, hoặc didn't find a compromise, and that the actors would be replaced. However, why would they request thêm money? Their parts are probably not that much bigger than Jackson's hoặc Peter's. Jackson has about 5-10 phút screentime, gathered bởi the Eclipse screening reviews and early draft of the script. Without Twilight, Kellan and Ashley wouldn't have had a career. At least, not like this. They aren't sought out stars because of their talent, they are sought out because they ngôi sao in Twilight. Once this franchise is over, I fear they won't have anything to rebound off of, and they will struggle to find jobs, just like it was before Twilight came along.

And do they "star" in Twilight? I wouldn't even consider their minimal work in Twilight, "starring". Ashley, yeah, she had a bigger role in New Moon, but it didn't leave an impact. It's not something bạn would remember if bạn weren't a hardcore người hâm mộ of the phim chiếu rạp hoặc books. It pains me to hear the actors demand for thêm money when they had barely anything to hiển thị for it. Kellan was in Nightmare on Elm Street... for 5 minutes. I hardly call that sought after.

Is Summit in the right to threaten kicking them of the wagon? I think so. I'm not one to side with Summit, but if this is how it went down, then I think so. For their egos to be that inflated and to be that high on the horse, I think it's time that this incident brought them down to earth. Time to humble up. Because demanding for a paycheck, just because the phim chiếu rạp are doing successfully, isn't professional. It would be nice if Summit did pay them a generous amount, but since their parts are rather small, I don't see why they are complaining about it.

Like I đã đưa ý kiến at the begining of the article. We don't know what happened. We don't know all the details. But, if the incident happened in a similar way to what I had been describing, then Summit has the right. I don't want them to be replaced. I'm not saying they're bad actors because they are mediocre (and Twilight doesn't showcase talent), but because I hate recasts. And, because, they own the characters. Their faces are linked to the characters for a while, and to replace that, it wouldn't be fair to the fans. But, they put themselves in that situation if they are demanding thêm money. So they are doing it to themselves, and the fans.

My mind is an utter mess right now. I have so many mixed emotions about this subject, and it was hard to write out this article. So, I apologize if it doesn't make sense.

Please comment. I would really tình yêu to hear what bạn have to say about this incident. Let's pray it will get sorted out. It'd be a shame if they were replaced. They are loved in the fandom: as the characters and they themselves. It doesn't mean people will boycott the movies, but it would take the fandom further into the blackhole of pandemonium, further than we already are in. There's no going back to the good ol' days when it was just Twilight Tuesdays and no hatred. Just pure excitement that the phim chiếu rạp were being made. *sigh*

My opinion is they should "recast" the screenwriter, Melissa Rosenburg. She's the cause of alot of this mess! But again, that's my personal opinion :) But I'm sure I can find a few people that agree with me ;)

Sorry for rambling! các bình luận are welcome!

EDIT: The amount Kellan and Ashley are demanding is 4 million each. 4 MILLION DOLLARS. Rob and Kristen get about 10-12 million and they are leads. 4M is a bit high, especially since Emmett and Alice are minor characters.
Another long one for bạn guys. I decided to break the story up in chapters so bạn guys can keep track of the story with the actual book! ^_^

When I arrived at Charlie’s, Bella was asking permission to go to La Push. Charlie’s thoughts were ecstatic that she was finally going to be talk to Jake.

1) If bạn know a girl who despises Twilight and is crazy about hating it, send them a box with a poster of Edward with the words "My Dream Guy" on the poster
2) Tell a Twilight hater that Ron Weasley is Emmett's b***h
3) Tell them that REAL men sparkle
4) When a group of Twilight haters are surrounding you, stand in the middle of the group and shout out "I'M A CULLEN, EVERYONE!" then sing "I am a vampire" bởi Antsy Pantsy

When we arrived back trang chủ Edward was outside waiting for us too pull up. It was such an exciting ride trang chủ with all that I had on my mind.

Thomas was running after me. He'd left Lily far behind him. It wasn't my fault I was faster than both of my best friends. He called after me. “Aw. Come on Esme! Give me a chance!! We all know you're the fastest. bạn don't need to rub it in!” I giggled.

“Yes. I am fastest. This is called Tag, Tom. The point is to run away as fast as bạn can,” I kept going at a pace faster than his. Once he was far enough behind, I began to scale the giant oak cây that was convenient placed in my backyard.

The Brightest Days Form the Darkest Shadows- Chapter 1b. A Monotonous Existence

Not far from the spot where Maria had stood under the canopy of arching trees to shield herself from the steady rain, was a little abandoned farmhouse. It was a crusted old thing, with an overgrown garden and soot-blackened windows. Nobody bothered with the place anymore- it was almost worthless; ancient and crumbling, it stood silent, defending itself from the pouring rain. Only the mice and other forest-creature inhabitants appreciated the house for its shelter and solitude.
A particularly young mouse-buck, tired...

I should've known Alice was still here. As soon as I walked into the bedroom door, she was there, pushing clothes into my face. There was a large áo sơ mi with teddybears, dolls, and baby block sew-ons scattered all over it. Then there was a pair of màu hồng, hồng jeans that matched it. I looked at Alice with reproachful eyes. Alice had the same face.
"Don't ask me, Jake picked it out," she whispered.
Then she threw another set of clothes at me. This outfit had Alice written all over...

“SETH!” Jacob and I yelled. I realized the man holding me let go in shock. I ran towards Seth, jumping away again as he turned to swirling smoke, forming the shape of a man.
