Unemployment figures may be improving around the country, but try telling that to Kristen Stewart. Appearing relaxed and beautiful (in a VERY revealing gown ), the actress spoke to E! News on the red carpet of the Breaking Dawn Part 2 premiere and said she has no career prospects on the horizon. “I’m kinda desperate to get a job right now,” Stewart said . “I’m itching to go back to work.” Until then, however, Kristen is simply trying to enjoy this final run with her Twilight Saga co-stars. Despite the ongoing controversy surrounding her personal life, the star summed up her state of mind these days: “I feel really good. I’m trying to take in every single one of these moments. I don’t want to miss one.” Check out our Breaking Dawn Part 2 review now and sound off: Are you excited to see this franchise-concluding saga?
The trailer opens with a gender-bending Alan Cumming meeting a guy at a cabaret, but the frivolity appears to end there. After the pair get together with his closeted lawyer partner, Cumming’s Rudy befriends a developmentally disabled adolescent who is being neglected by his mother. The story goes from there in what turns out to be a fight for civil rights and the welfare of a child. Director Travis Fine’s Any Day Now won Audience Awards at the Chicago, Provincetown, Tribeca and Woodstock film festivals in addition to other wins in Seattle and Outfest. Official Log-line: Inspired by a true story and touching on legal and social issues that are more relevant now than ever, Any Day Now tells a story of love, acceptance, and creating your own family. In the late 1970s, when Marco (Isaac Leyva), a teenager with down syndrome who’s been abandoned by his mother, is taken in by committed couple Rudy (Alan Cumming) and Paul (Garret Dillahunt), he finds in them the family he’s never had. However, when their unconventional living arrangement is discovered by the authorities, Rudy and Paul must fight a biased legal system to adopt the child they have come to love as their own. Music Box Films will release Any Day Now in theaters December 14th. Watch the video on YouTube
Screams of elation, excitement — and at one point pure, unadulterated horror — echoed down through the rafters at the Nokia Theater last night as The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part II premiered to crowd of well-heeled industry guests and legions of Twi-hards, all craning for a glimpse of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson , who were in attendance alongside dozens of their Twilight co-stars. Hollywood suits and fans alike seemed taken with the action-packed Twilight finale, which concludes the billion-dollar film franchise with a polished touch, new faces, a welcome dash of humor, and more than a few fan service moments dedicated to Bella and Edward’s bloodsucking marital bliss. And, proving that Twilight is a universal phenomenon, the premiere drew famous faces as varied as they come: Stevie Nicks , who compared Twilight to Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre on the red carpet; Terrell Owens, spotted taking pictures with a Breaking Dawn vampire at the after party; Jaleel White, the erstwhile Steve Urkel; and even Weird Al Yankovic. Weird Al! Who’d have guessed he was a Twilight fan? PHOTO GALLERY: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson & More Hit The ‘Breaking Dawn Part 2’ Premiere Breaking Dawn Part II picks up shortly after the gory events of Breaking Dawn Part I , in which franchise heroine Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), newly wed, gave birth to her half human, half vampire daughter Renesmee. Or, rather: When baby Renesmee clawed her way out of the womb leaving Bella dying, and fast. Enter vampirism: Painful, permanent, but too convenient to turn down in a pinch. The new film opens with Bella’s rebirth as she awakens to undead life with new strength and beauty, a thirst for blood, and a hyperactive sex drive for making eternal love with Edward (Robert Pattinson). And Bella’s not alone; along with her resurrection, the franchise comes alive with renewed energy and a much-needed sense of humor, not to mention – gasp! – changes from the book that lend Breaking Dawn a cinematic drama lacking in Meyer’s final novel. Director Bill Condon, who helmed Breaking Dawn Part I and shot the two final installments concurrently, delivers the ultimate Twilight farewell for fans of Stephenie Meyer’s books and the film adaptation they spawned. Together with series screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg and Meyer herself, a guiding presence on set and in the scripting process, Condon gives the Twilight faithful all the must-see moments they want — and a few they didn’t know they needed. PHOTO GALLERY: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson & More Hit The ‘Breaking Dawn Part 2’ Premiere Suffice to say, in the service of satisfying the fans Condon and Co. have included plenty of canoodling opportunities for Bella and Edward, who are finally sexual equals now that vampire life has balanced out their 100-year age difference. If you thought Breaking Dawn Part I ‘s PG butter-colored honeymoon sex was thrilling, just wait until Bella, powered by a diet of mountain lion blood, shoves Edward onto their bridal bed and becomes entangled in a blur of abstractly unidentifiable arms and thighs and sighs until her brain explodes in orgasmic, butter-colored bliss. Scream level: 8, on a scale of 1 to 10 . And despite being saddled with the trickiest plot development of the film, maybe even the series ( Imprinting: Totally not weird, right? ), Taylor Lautner shows off his comic timing, and his six-pack, both of which he’s clearly been working on these past few films. I dare say Condon pushes the envelope a bit where Lautner is concerned; in one scene the camera leers just so at Lautner’s crotch that the entire audience gets to second base with him just by looking. Scream level: 9 . But where Rosenberg, Meyer, and Condon show they really know their fan base is in the film’s biggest departure from the book. Without spoiling it, I’ll just describe what it sounded like in the theater: Gasps and screams escaped from the fan contingent, crescendoed, and sustained for a good ten minute span. The feeling was contagious, creating a wave of invisible, palpable energy cascading from the balcony to the screen. Scream level: 11 . PHOTO GALLERY: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson & More Hit The ‘Breaking Dawn Part 2’ Premiere At the after party guests danced under the Forks High prom lights, sat in Bella’s red truck, and posed for photos in Bella and Edward’s meadow. Locations from the entire series were replicated in every corner, from the Volturi chambers to the Quileute forests to the flower-lined awning under which Bella and Edward were wed. Bella’s wedding dress stood underneath a giant hanging moon while servers dressed as Volturi brought around canapes; outside, live wolves roamed a cage on display. It was a Twilight fan’s dream, so thoroughly detailed that you wonder how long it’ll take Summit to figure out how to create a Harry Potter -styled Twilight attraction where fans can wander scenes from the films and imagine themselves in Forks, Washington, and keep the screams — and cash — rolling in for years to come.

Can aliens be bigger drama queens than vampires? Next spring will tell. With the last installment of The Twilight Saga opening this weekend, Summit Entertainment has begun priming Twi-Hards for its next Stephenie Meyer project, The Host , which hits the big screen on March 29. The scenario laid out in the trailer bears some similarities to early Twilight , except the roles seem reversed. Melanie Ryder ( Saoirse Ronan ) and Jared Howe ( Max Irons ) comprise the Bella Swan-Edward Cullen core of the story, but in this case it’s Melanie who is altered — by an extraterrestrial, not supernatural force. (It’s unclear whether that means Jared plays a really passive dude in the picture.) Parasitic aliens are using humans as hosts to take over the planet — steely blue irises are the giveaway that a person has been infected — and Melanie, who, with Jared, is part of a rebel group fighting back against the invasion, eventually becomes one of them. Or does she? Meyer’s book is about how Mel, who remains partially conscious, fights back against the parasite controlling her body using her emotions and memories and eventually forms a bond with it that could help save the human race. (Cue dramatic score.) As you might expect from a Meyer novel, romantic complications, angst and action scenes ensue. Andrew Niccol , who directed the 1997 sci-fi gem Gattaca, helmed The Host , so my expectations are higher than usual, but I hope the movie isn’t as exposition heavy as this trailer.

The Twilight Saga is finally coming to an end this week as Breaking Dawn Part II sparkles into theaters, which means tonight is the last Hollywood Twilight premiere humankind will see. This saddens me, because Twilight premieres have become one of the great constants of modern culture, at least for the past four years: Hordes of screaming fans will gather, many of them having slept on the ground in Los Angeles for days. I repeat: On the ground. In Los Angeles. That’s real dedication. The air will be thick with hopes and dreams and friendship and vampire marriage proposals. And whether or not said fans actually make it into the theater alongside the idols their devotion and ticket dollars skyrocketed to fame, they will have the best time ever just being there. How many fandoms can claim that sort of eternal, electric energy? Movieline will be Tweeting from the Breaking Dawn premiere and after party tonight — follow along at @Movieline — but those who can’t be on hand at the concrete mecca known as L.A. Live can watch a live-stream of the red carpet festivities below starting at 4:30pm PT. To help bring your premiere live-stream viewing experience to life like Bella jolting awake as a newborn vampire, you can play your own Breaking Dawn premiere drinking game at home.** Take a drink of booze, milk, blood, whatever: – Each time a cast member is asked how they feel about A) Twilight ending, B) what their favorite scene is, or C) what special vampire power they would want in real life. – Each time someone in the crowd asks one of the stars to marry them. – Each time someone Twilight -famous (as in, famous for being in a Twilight movie and pretty much nothing else) is interviewed on the red carpet and you have to Google them to find out who they are. – Each time an actor is asked to name their favorite vampire movie or about the on-set dance-off that happened during filming. – Each time someone accidentally touches on the awkward subject of Jacob falling in love with a baby (drink 2X) or the even more awkward subject of RPattz and KStew’s relationship and The Affair Which Shall Not Be Named (drink 3X). You should be sufficiently drunk within, oh, about 10 minutes. **If you’re of age, of course. Movieline does not encourage underage drinking, falling in love with (most) vampires, unplanned teen pregnancies, or befriending werewolves. Follow Jen Yamato on Twitter .

We’ve finally found something more impressive that Kellan Lutz’s body . His confidence. Featured in the latest issue of DuJour, the Twilight Saga stud looks ahead and says: “I want to act for the rest of my life. I’ll win an Oscar one day, but I’m in no rush to get there. I don’t care if that takes me 50 years, and I’m old. I just love what I do.” Among other topics touched on in the interview: The final installment of the Twilight franchise : “It really is bittersweet. It’s very much like high school…and I’m ready to graduate.” His interest in chemistry : “It’s interesting to see how you mix two chemicals together and heat starts forming. I even made some polyurethane! It’s great because acting has given me the resources and platform to help charities but also the money to create my inventions and pay for the patent process. Attorneys aren’t cheap!” You can see Lutz and company in Breaking Dawn Part 2 , which comes out on November 16.
