Kellan Lutz Afraid Of Freddy

While Kellan Lutz plays a scary creature in the "Twilight Saga" -- if you call a vegetarian vampire scary, that is -- it's his next role in the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" remake that has him really frightened. You see, it seems Lutz's connection to the flick and its bad guy, Freddy Krueger, runs all the way to his childhood.

"That was one of the movies that actually scared me growing up," Lutz told MTV News about the 1984 remake, due out on April 30. "My brothers were the biggest threat growing up with all the poundings, but Jason and Chucky weren’t too scary. I laughed at them. Clowns are funny to me."

As much as a laugh riot as those creepy horror movie classic killers were to Lutz, there was something incredibly eerie about Freddy for him. So much so that it made sleeping a difficult task for the actor. Lutz, who may or may not be the Johnny Depp of the reboot, added, "But something that can attack you in your sleep, that’s scary because how do you fight that off? You're sleeping."

Awhile back, MTV News learned from the director himself, Samuel Bayer, that Kellan and his fellow dreamwalkers are fending off a Freddy Krueger who is a lot less comical than ever before. "You know, I think my Freddy is just a bit more serious," he said. "We delve into Freddy's background a little bit more. It's a very similar background to what we know about him, but... I think it's going to be a unique kind of homage to Wes's original film."

Twilight Editor Replaced

Summit replaces editor on 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse'


Summit Entertainment, the studio behind the uber-successful Twilight series, confirmed this morning that it has replaced Eclipse editor Art Jones with Nancy Richardson, the editor of Catherine Hardwicke’s original Twilight film. The studio is not placing blame on Jones, who previously worked with Eclipse director David Slade on his horror film 30 Days of Night as well as Slade’s Ellen Page-starrer Hard Candy. They do believe, however, that Slade’s material – which they call “very good” – needed a stronger edit. The studio has more confidence in Richardson, who they say understands the emotion of the characters and is an ace at balancing action with the other elements of the film.

Richardson recently completed Miley Cyrus’ upcoming romantic drama The Last Song. Eclipse is scheduled to debut on June 30.

Jacob Black Barbie Flaw


One of the things we love about John Henson who has created the Twilight Costume Collection (filled with actual and replica costumes from the movies) is John’s attention to detail. Seriously nothing, and we do mean NOTHING gets by John. He wants things down to the lining in the jacket to be correct. If you doubt us just ask him about Bella’s St. Jude’s bracelet and you will get a whole lesson in beads, pictures, stringing etc.

John is also the mastermind who designed the costumes for the Hillywood Show’s New Moon parody. John even has a bit part in the video where he plays the tattoo artist. He was so well camouflaged we didn’t even realize that it was him at first!

Anyway, John came to us with a very interesting piece of information the other day. John wrote, “I’m not sure if you’ve seen it or if it’s been brought to your attention, but Mattel’s new “Jacob Black” doll has his Quileute tribal tattoo painted UPSIDE DOWN on his arm. I noticed it when the first prototype pictures were being posted on the internet, and I didn’t call Mattel because I figured that EVERYTHING would change on the actual consumer model. WRONG! I picked up two dolls for the collection yesterday and I was a bit miffed. I can see the oversight…the tattoo is very complex and when your dealing with a replica that’s 1/4” scale…blah blah. correcteyes2So…. I called Mattel this morning. I talked to a lovely gal named Linda who took all of my information. I told her how important this little detail is to the fans and she’s getting the query to the “engineers” immediately. So…feel free to post this information so everyone can run out and buy this initial run of Jacob dolls…it was a limited supply run and now with this error they might be little investments for the future!!!”

So far Mattel hasn’t called back. it will be interesting to see it they fix this in the next run, as John says the “flawed dolls” could be a collectible.

Kellan Lutz Excited About Twilight Future


Kellan Lutz is looking forward to the future of the Twilight movie franchise.

The actor takes on the role of Emmett in the hit movies and he will be returning to the big screen this summer with Eclipse, the third movie in the franchise.

Speaking to MTV the actor said: "I love being my character, Emmett, and I love this franchise. I love the actors, the production teams, the directors.

"It's great to love a job in a way that has continuous projects with it, so I hope Stephenie Meyer writes another book that we get to act in also."

New Moon was one of the biggest grossing movies of 2009 taking $706 million at the global box office.

Despite being poorly received by the critics Twilight fans were out in their droves to support the movie.

Kristen Stewart revealed last week that no decision had been made as to whether the four book Breaking Dawn would be split into two movies.

However Lutz backs the idea of making two further movies: "I really hope we're able to do that."

Anna Kendrick Keeping It In The Family


Anna Kendrick won't be bringing any beau to the Oscars next Sunday. The Up in the Air star is planning to make the star-studded event a family affair.

The 24-year-old former actress, who pulled double duty in the Twilight Saga, told E! News she's bringing her mom and brother as dates to the glitzy awards show.

"I'm flying them out. I'm so excited," Kendrick said Saturday at Zac Posen's celebration for his new Z Spoke collection in Beverly Hills. "My mom wants to meet George Clooney."

Inside of the private dinner at Mr. Chow alongside the likes of Rachel Bilson, Emma Roberts and Nicky Hilton, Kendrick dished on how she's staying cool until the big day.

While she's trying to relax and enjoy the awards season, Kendrick admitted she's been under more stress than usual. She couldn't even watch the Oscar nomination annoucement.

"I was too nervous to sit and watch the nominations, so I went for a run at five in the morning," Kendrick said. "I just waited for my roommate to text me. And then it was actually really nice because I was sort of alone in the dark. I kind of wanted to shout, but I didn't want to wake everyone up at 5:30 in the morning."

While Kendrick has no problem talking up her Oscar dates, she is keeping mum about her Oscar dress.

"I'm not allowed to talk about what I wear," Kendrick said. "But I'm going to try it on in a few days and it's beautiful. I'm really excited about it. It's a designer that I've worn [before]."

Kendrick said that while having the top-secret gown custom-made from a sketch left her feeling a little like a "human mannequin," she is looking forward to picking out her jewels.

"That's going to be the fun part," Kendrick said. "That's the part where I get to play."
