Writing from the set of The Hobbit , Peter Jackson took to Facebook Monday to blog his thoughts on filming at 48 frames per second — the increased frame rate championed by folks like James Cameron, who will use it to blow minds in Avatar 2 and 3 . Jackson is currently filming The Hobbit in 3-D at 48 fps instead of the industry standard 24 fps, and as a result, the Lord of the Rings follow-up will be the first wide release to pave the way into a brave new digital world of filmmaking — whether or not theaters around the world are ready for it.

‘Water for Elephants’ star calls for ‘the ‘Twilight’ troops to mobilize.’ By Aly Semigran, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Robert Pattinson Photo: MTV News Twihards, your call to action for retribution and justice has come. And, the call, by the way, is coming from none other than Robert Pattinson . When MTV News caught up with “Twilight” star Pattinson on Sunday, a hot topic was those leaked ” Breaking Dawn ” photos that hit the Web (and were swiftly taken down), and the star was obviously fuming mad about the whole thing. “It’s just ridiculous. I literally can’t believe that it happened,” Pattinson said regarding the photos, which show his character, Edward, and Bella (Kristen Stewart) on their honeymoon and Bella going through what appears to be her vampire transformation. Pattinson, who said he wanted to speak to us about the leaked pictures “because MTV seemed like the right place to do it,” immediately asked for help from the series’ most hard-core — and equally ticked-off — fans. “I want the ‘Twilight’ troops to mobilize, all the good fans, and find out who these little sh–s are and just hack into their computers and destroy them,” RPattz said with a laugh, later adding, “I’m being genuinely serious, ‘Twilight’ fans … Punish them.” In fact, the 24-year-old star — who is promoting his latest flick, the period drama “Water for Elephants” — then asked Twihards to do him another favor while they are bringing down the culprits: “Find out who hacked into my e-mail address, too, and destroy them,” he urged. It wasn’t just the content of the leaked images that bothered Pattinson so much — “It’s raw footage: It’s not even what people are going to see,” he noted — but the intention behind it. “Why do this maliciously? You’re not a fan. You’re just a di–,” he said, once again with a laugh, adding,”That’s all there is to it. “I’d understand it more if they sold the stuff,” he continued, referring to those who pulled the online stunt. “But, it’s like, ‘Oh, you just want to be annoying?’ ” At one point, with an exasperated sigh, the actor called the people responsible for the leaks “idiots.” Pattinson also said he was angry on behalf of all of those who are currently working on the final two installments of the wildly popular saga, saying the leaks are frustrating “especially when you’ve been working on something for eight months.” “It’s an exciting movie, and everything is so different, and a lot of people have worked really, really hard.” Of course, Pattinson wasn’t the only one upset by the leak. On Friday, Summit Entertainment, “Twilight” author Stephenie Meyer, “Breaking Dawn” director Bill Condon and producer Wyck Godfrey released a statement on Facebook that read, “As some of you may know, pictures and screen grabs of ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn’ as a work in progress have leaked on the Internet. We are extremely proud of this film and also extremely heartbroken to see it out there at this stage. The film and these images are not yet ready or in their proper context. They were illegally obtained and their early dissemination is deeply upsetting to the actors, the filmmakers and Summit who are working so hard to bring these movies to fruition to you in November 2011 and November 2012.” The message went on to urge, “Please, for those who are posting, stop. And please, though the temptation is high, don’t view or pass on these images. Wait for the film in its beautiful, finished entirety to thrill you.” Luckily, the photos, which have mostly been all but erased from the Web, didn’t even reach Pattinson. The star, who revealed that he and Stewart haven’t filmed their “Breaking Dawn” wedding scene yet, nor has he seen Bella’s wedding dress , noted, “I didn’t even see the leaks.” Sound off about the leaked “Breaking Dawn” photos in the comments section below.

‘I am now part of a new family,’ Thomas tells MTV News of reconnecting with the world through the social-networking site. By Eric Ditzian Thomas Ohlson at Facebook headquarters in Palo Alto, California Photo: MTV News & Docs These days, Thomas types with just two fingers. By the time summer rolls around, there is a possibility he will only be typing with one finger or maybe not at all. Thomas suffers from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, a disease that causes motor neurons to die, leading muscles to waste away while cognitive abilities remain unaffected; the life expectancy of an ALS patient is two to five years. But here’s the thing about Thomas, who first started to feel the effects in 2005: ALS might have robbed him of his body, but it hasn’t changed the type of person he truly is. That’s the big takeaway from his appearance on MTV’s “Diary of Facebook,” in which Thomas shines a spotlight on his affliction and the way the social-networking site has allowed him to interact with the world around him despite his limitations. Flown out to the company’s headquarters as part of its Stories.Facebook.com event, an effort to highlight how the site has effected profound change in users’ lives, Thomas spoke to employees via a speech device, saying, “These days, I am confined to a wheelchair and require a mechanical ventilator to breathe. My inability to interact only serves to frustrate and depress me. One year ago, I joined Facebook. Although physically I was isolated, virtually I was around people, submitting opinions and making jokes. My life again has purpose.” Indeed it does, and in an email interview with MTV News — during which, yes, he responded to questions using only those two fingers — Thomas expounded on how Facebook has allowed him not only to become a social creature again, but also an activist. “Aside from reconnecting with old friends from my past, I am now part of a new family — the ALS community, who, like me, have also found their voices,” he wrote. “Every 90 minutes, someone is diagnosed with ALS and every 90 minutes someone dies from ALS. It has been over 140 years since the disease was first diagnosed and we still have no cure, no viable treatment, and no known cause.” Thomas never planned to become an activist or a public face of his disease. He joined Facebook only after hearing his wife and children’s stories of connecting with friends. But when he did sign up and began sharing a journal he was keeping for his kids, the effect was remarkable. “The support my journal has received has been incredible,” he wrote. “I am most proud of how many heretofore uninformed people are now aware of ALS and offer their support.” His hope is that his story — as told both on MTV and Facebook — spurs action and understanding about the disease. Yet Thomas doesn’t possess a botThomasless well of hope. He suffers. He rages. In a recent Facebook update, he hinted at a time when he’ll no longer be able to silently suffer the effects of ALS. Cruel and unfair though his disease may be, though, Thomas is adamant that his torment ultimately have meaning. He urged people to visit ALS Therapy Development Institute for further information about the disease and ways to get involved with the community. And he made clear that while ALS has taken away so much from him, it has also given him a searing insight into what it means to be happy and human. “ALS has taught me one invaluable lesson: Stop always looking to the future for happiness and appreciate what you have right now,” he wrote. “My memories are now my treasure, and every day is another gift to be enjoyed and then added to that treasure. You can never be too rich or too healthy!” Related Videos The Diary Of Facebook
