The Eclipse Movie companion is now available for pre-order on both Amazon.com & Amazon.co.uk with a release date at this stage of May 2010.  I adore the pic of Rob as Eddie above.  Wonder when we are going to see some more movie stills & of the solo Rob variety.  Hopefully sometime soon.   If you wish to pre-order, all you need to do is click on either of the highlighted links above.  When details becomes available re: Australia pre-order & release date we will of course post.

MTV have an exclusive look at a the “new cover for “Fame: Robert Pattinson,” as well as an exclusive preview of interior art from the comic. Arriving on shelves in May, the 32-page comic promises to “trace Pattinson’s career from his first performance in Tess of the D’Urbervilles at London’s Barnes Theatre to his star turn in the Twilight movies.”  I’m not sure if it will be available instore in  Australia and I’m still trying to find out, so once I know when and where, I will let you all know.  It’s an interesting concept to actually bring Rob’s bio in comic book form.  Clever people at Bluewater Productions.  Here’s a look at the pics but if you want to read more of the article, click on the MTV link above.

I might just have to admit that I may have picked up and looked through a copy of this when I was at Borders doing my Christmas shopping.   Well I could always pretend I was contemplating it as a gift – haha right.  Well thanks to our awesome affiliate Grace from MrPattinson here’s two of my favourite pics of Rob from GoF days.  If  you want to see the rest of the scans then I recommend  you head on over by clicking on the link.   If you feel the urge to buy the book, then you can click on the Borders link above.

We took the opportunity of the slow news day to update (or should I say actually start and finish) the BOOK section of the site.  Michelle & I are very happy that this is now complete.  Of course now we will maintain and make sure it’s updated!  Unless of course there is a frenzy of photos like there have been for the last 3 weeks and then – well it will be updated eventually – lol. 

Please go and visit the section – you will see we have individual pages for Books About Rob, Rob’s Movies Adapted from Books and Rob’s Personal Choices.  You can do this by clicking here or you can always access the page by clicking on the ‘BOOKS” tab on the site banner located at the top of the page.  Please let us know what you think, as always we love to hear from you all.

Catherine Hardwicke says ‘thanks’ to Twilight fans for making Twilight: The Director’s Notebook, the No 1 book at the New York Times Bestseller’s list this week. That is really an amazing achievement! I’ve bought the book and I must say that I enjoyed reading it. It has some interesting stuff on the film, including how stunts were done, make up and wardrobe, location scouting, and many others.

Here’s a video from her:

While I was browsing bookstores online, I came across this information on the Australian release date of Twilight: Director’s Notebook.

Taken from online Bookstore QBD:

Twilight: Director’s Notebook by  Catherine Hardwicke

Binding: Hardcover

Released:17/03/2009

RRP: $35.00

Availability: This product has not yet been released. It can be pre-ordered and will be shipped as quickly as possible after the release date (subject to stock availability, earliest orders will be shipped first).

I have also found the same information on another Australian website.  It looks as though we will be able to purchase the book on the same day as the US.  How great is that!
