Bokus (160 kr)

Något ni tänker köpa?

För ett tag sen släpptes en tecknad serie bok om Stephenie Meyer och boken gjorde succe! Efterfrågan på den var väldigt stor och den såldes i stora upplagor.

Nu har man besämt att göra en förnyad upplaga som är bunden (ej pocket), inför Eclipse filmen! Den har ett förnyat innehåll om New Moon + med en ny framsida! Såhär ser den ut och info ifrån artikeln kommer under:

This new version will include updates on the success of New Moon, the most recent Twilight film, and a look at Meyer’s future plans for Edward and Bella, the romantic leads of her vampire books. The book will also be stuffed with extras, making it a must-buy for Twilight fans.

The collectable version with new features will be the first hard cover for Bluewater retail for $12.99. Written by Ryan Burton with art by David McNeil, the comic is just the latest in Bluewater’s popular biography line. This series of biography comics has already highlighted such influential women as Oprah Winfrey, J.K. Rowling, Sarah Palin, Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton. The series’ goal is to examine the lives of these important figures in an objective and balanced manner without resorting to sensationalism.

Favorit i repris på stark nivå!

När jag sitter och skriver på skolarbeten på datorn tenderar jag alltid att sväva iväg ut i Twilight-världen. Hittade ett väldigt gammalt inlägg på en gammal blogg jag hade, som jag skrev just när jag hade hittat böckerna i början av 2008 och då första filmen skulle börja filmas.

Nu till det intressanta:

Stephenie Meyer hade varit i Tyskland för att marknadsföra Eclipse och där berättade hon för första gången vad hon tyckte om skådespelarna. Mycket om Rob och hur perfekt hon tyckte att han skulle bli som Edward trots att många inte riktigt trodde det..

Här är Stephenie Meyers ord från den tyska presskonferensen:

I am really excited about I would say 95% of the actors, which I think is a really good margin. Particularly I think they did a great job with Edward and that is the most important. It could’ve been a really bad thing but I had a chance to meet Robert Pattinson and actually have a really involved conversation with him about how depressed Edward was in Twilight. And I have to tell you, I know there is a lot of people who didn’t like him right away and there is some who are still holding out for some other actors… uhm… I gotta say I’m not getting this whole Gaspard Ulliel thing, I’m sorry. But, uhm, when I got the chance to talk to him we were having lunch and we could see him walking up the road and his hair was already dyed red and he had that long black coat and you could see the people on the street kinda stopping and looking at him and thinking… and it wasn’t like ”who is that?” it was more like ”What is that?”  He doesn’t even really look human. I mean, he looked more like an Angel than a person. And he got such an interesting face and you sit there and talk to him you hardly know what to say. He would say ”Why are Carlisle and Edward so close, they aren’t even real family” and I was looking at him saying ”what is… what was that again?” I think that he’s going to be amazing and that the actress who is playing Bella, uhm, you should’ve seen her when we were all together, she was over there and was like *Stephenie shows the way Kristen adored/drooled over Robert* He is perfect, really, you don’t need to worry.

Ni som följt med från början av karusellen, kommer ni ihåg detta? Detta väcker väldigt starka minnen för mig! Jag minns hur ivrig och galen (nog för att man är det nu också), man var när Twilight skulle börja filmas. Det är kul att tänka sisådär två år bak i tiden och inse att Twilight har dominerat ens liv sen dess!

Entertainment Weekly skriver följande:

I’m delighted to announce, exclusively, that Yen Press will publish Twilight: The Graphic Novel, Vol. 1 on March 16, with a first printing of 350,000 copies.  Here’s a first glimpse at the book’s cover, as well as an exclusive peek at one of its panels (for a full ten-page excerpt, and the entire Q&A with Stephenie Meyer, see the issue of EW that goes on sale this Friday).

What strikes me, looking at the book, is how faithfully, and how beautifully, artist Young Kim has translated Meyer’s original vision. Kim, who has a fine arts background—in fact, this is her first foray into graphic novels—didn’t just read the book; she absorbed it. Her Bella is the Bella I had in my mind’s eye the first time I read Twilight; her Edward is the Edward I always imagined. It took me back to reading Twilight pre-movie: Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson faded into the background.

Dom har också en intervju med Stephenie Meyer om detta:

Meyer talked to us about all this, and more. Here are a few snippets from our conversation:

The text of your original novel is boiled down so carefully that it doesn’t feel like anything is missing. Were you the one who did that?

I was definitely involved.  I didn’t do the original “script” for the book, so to speak.  But when I got the dialogue with the images, I did a lot of tinkering. In a couple of places, I asked for missing scenes to be inserted.  For example, the conversation in the car that Bella and Edward have after she faints in Biology.

How does the feeling of reading the graphic novel compare to that of reading the original? Does it bring something new to the experience for you?

For me, it takes me back to the days when I was writing Twilight.  It’s been a while since I was really able to read Twilight; there is so much baggage attached to that book for me now.  It seems like all I can see are the mistakes in the writing.  Reading Young’s version brought me back to the feeling I had when I was writing and it was just me and the characters again.  I love that.  I thank her for it.

When this project is done, are you done with Twilight?

I can’t say that I am done with Twilight forever.  I’m not working on anything new Twilight-related now, and probably not for a while.  But there’s still a possibility that I’ll go back and close some of the open doors.

Skvallersajter passar givetvis på att komma med sina ”egna” nyheter när det handlar om något så stort som Twilight (det utlimata sättet att locka besökare, eller hur? *hrmp). De senaste månaderna har det ju kryllat av falska rykten kring filmatiseringen av sista boken, vilket nog inte är en nyhet för er. I går fick vi veta att Summit Entertainment fortfarande håller på att bestämma kring filmen/ filmerna.

Men det har börjat komma rykten om att författaren Stephenie Meyer ska ha sagt att hon inte alls vill se två filmer av boken, när hon i flera andra meddelanden (på sin officiella sajt), sagt att hon tycker att det vore lämpligt med två filmer för att inte gå miste om mycket av innehållet i boken. I ett nytt meddelande har hon i dag skrivit om hur allt egentligen ligger till:

Just a quick note on the subject of the Breaking Dawn film: there is no drama over whether the book should be one movie or two. My personal feeling is that it would be very difficult to cram the whole story into one movie (as I’ve said in many interviews previous to this), but if a great way of doing that surfaces, I’m all for it. Two or one, whichever way fits the story best is fine by me, and everyone I’ve spoken with at Summit seems to feel the same way. We’re all excited to move forward on this, and we are slowly and surely getting there. I know people are anxious for news, and so sometimes gossip get fabricated to stir things up, but there’s no basis to this particular story. Steph

Nu om ni känner er sugna att se en ny fanmade trailer till Breaking Dawn, klicka på ”Fortsätt läsa”. Den är väldigt proffsigt gjord tycker jag! OBS: givetvis spoilers om man inte läst boken.

Jag blir alltid lika glad då Stephenie uppdaterar boktips på sin officiella sajt.

Nu tipsar hon om boken ”The Lonely Hearts Club” skriven av Elizabeth Eulberg, en bok som kommer ut i dag. Antar att den inte går att hitta på bokaffärer här i Sverige men man borde ju kunna beställa den t.ex. från adlibris! :) Läs mer om boken här.

Så här skriver hon:

I hope you all are enjoying your holidays! Just a quick update about a book—arriving in bookstores tomorrow!—that I’m very excited about: The Lonely Hearts Club by Elizabeth Eulberg. If you’ve ever been out to one of my signings, chances are you’ve already met this debut author. If you haven’t, but you’ve read the acknowledgements in any of my books, you’ve been introduced to her there. Elizabeth has been the publicist for my books from the very beginning, and has (clearly) done an amazing job. She’s also worked with scads of other YA authors. Now her own YA novel is coming out and I’m so proud of her. Well done, Lizzy! I look forward to reading more from you soon!

Bokens handling:

Love is all you need…or is it?

Penny is sick of boys and sick of dating, so she vows: No more. She’s had one too many bad dates, and has been hurt by one too many bad boys. It’s a personal choice…and soon everybody wants to know about it. It seems that Penny’s not the only girl who’s tired of the way girls change themselves (most of the time for the worse) in order to get their guys…or the way their guys don’t really care about them.

Girls are soon thronging to The Lonely Hearts Club (named after Sgt. Pepper’s band), and Penny finds herself near legendary for her non-dating ways – which is too bad, since the leader of The Lonely Hearts Club has found a certain boy she can’t help but like…
