Elizabeth Reaser Talks ‘Breaking Dawn’ Contract Negotiations

‘I think everyone’s pretty much replaceable at the end of the day,’ ‘Twilight’ co-star admits. By Jocelyn Vena Elizabeth Reaser Photo: MTV News Elizabeth Reaser knows she will be back for more action as vampire mom Esme Cullen when “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn” begins shooting. But if she’s got the inside scoop on what’s up with co-stars Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene , who are reportedly renegotiating their salaries for the two-party conclusion to the franchise, she’s not letting on. “I mean, I go online and try and figure out what’s going on on the Internet,” she revealed to MTV News this week, when she stopped by the offices to talk about “Eclipse.” “That’s really how I get information for the most part, but I’m really excited. You probably have more up-to-the-minute information than I do. That’s how I find stuff out, on weird websites. “I think we’re still, like, ironing out [my contract], but yeah, I’m doing it,” she continued, noting that if you want any more info on the rest of the gang, she’s not the girl to come to for it. “I try and stay as far away from these types of situations as much as possible.” So, how would Reaser feel if Lutz and Greene couldn’t come to an agreement on time? “I don’t know. I think everyone’s pretty much replaceable at the end of the day. I think that’s true of everyone everywhere, except for the Beyonc

‘Transformers 3’ Signs Patrick Dempsey, Not Jamie Kennedy

Previous reports that Kennedy would appear in next ‘Transformers’ film denied by actor’s representation. By Adam Rosenberg Patrick Dempsey Photo: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images “Grey’s Anatomy” star Patrick Dempsey is onboard for “Transformers 3.” Jamie Kennedy is not. Cinema Blend reported earlier this week that both actors were in — the Dempsey news came from a translated interview with a Brazilian outlet and the Kennedy news came from an appearance he made on an Arizona radio station. MTV News reached out to Kennedy’s representation for confirmation, and they replied with the following statement: “This was taken out of context from a radio interview where Jamie mentioned he had auditioned for ‘Transformers 3’ and as a huge fan of the franchise, would love to be a part of it. At this time Jamie is in no way attached to the film.” No other details about Kennedy’s involvement are known, including the part he auditioned for in the first place. The Dempsey news comes from Paramount, via Variety , which is also reporting the studio’s confirmation that shooting will get going on “Transformers 3” sometime this month. Stars Shia LeBeouf and Megan Fox are, of course, returning. Dempsey, who revealed that he’ll play a “dark” character, will fill the role of Fox’s boss. Before he joins director Michael Bay and his fellow “Transformers 3” actors on the set, Dempsey will first fulfill his commitments to the indie comedy “Flypaper.” He stars as a guy who has a crush on a local bank teller (Jessica Biel) and ends up trapped in said bank during two simultaneous robberies. The script for that one comes from “The Hangover” writers Jon Lucas and Scott Moore. For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

Ben Roethlisberger Police Report

The police officer who took the initial report from the woman who accused NFL star Ben Roethlisberger, seen here in January 2010, of s-exual assault has resigned, law enforcement officials said. Ben Roethlisberger and Steelers fans alike thought that maybe, just maybe, the worst was behind the franchise quarterback when news broke that he would not be charged with s-exual assault. Big Ben may avoided any legal trouble, but the details of objectionable behavior are now coming to light in the fo

‘Breaking Dawn’ in 3D – Yay Or Nay?

With all the buzz about upcoming releases possibly releasing as 3-D, MTV thought it was wise to get a list going of those said films, one of which is The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn . Here’s the bit about Breaking Dawn from the article. You can check out the rest HERE . During MTV News’ 3-D Week, we’ve suggested films that deserve a conversion into three dimensions (“The Matrix,” “Predator”) and certain scenes we never want to see in 3-D (the birthing scene in “Breaking Dawn,” Leo DiCaprio’s death in “Titanic”). We’ve also previewed the next three years in 3-D releases: animated flicks like “Cars 2,” comic book adaptations like “Green Lantern,” genre works like “Sucker Punch” and more. Now we turn our attention to films we’re not exactly sure will get the 3-D treatment but we have a pretty strong feeling will. From the “Twilight” franchise to big-budget action productions to live-action/animation hybrids, here are the movies we think might well be in 3-D when they hit theaters in the future. “Breaking Dawn”: In February, The Hollywood Reporter announced that Summit Entertainment was exploring the possibility of making the final film — or films, as has also been rumored — in the “Twilight” series into 3-D movies. That possibility has split both the “Twilight” community and the franchise’s cast. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson seem to find the idea a little nutty, while Ashley Greene is keeping an open mind. {via MTV }
