Dropping the ball at #SDCC2012 :

‘An Open letter to Summit Entertainment/Lionsgate and Creation Entertainment’

Via: @AbsolutTwilight

I am a huge fan of the Twilight Saga and there is no hiding my love for the bad boys of the Volturi and yes I know the books do not revolve around them, but it’s a shame when they are just plain neglected. They are part of the books, may not an integral part of the entire saga, but dare I say they are a huge focal point of the last book and more importantly the last movie ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2’?

I know I am right about that, I did read the books and with Nessie being considered an Immortal Child and the fear of the Volturi coming and being prepared for a fight, why oh why were none of the Volturi at the Comic Con panel in San Diego a couple of weeks back?

We have all sorts of new vampires that are being introduced and they were on hand, yet sadly Summit/Lionsgate dropped the ball and did not have ANY of the Volturi members there to represent our beloved saga.  Well boo on you!

It’s almost like they are an afterthought. We get promos of the Cullen’s (which I am not complaining about) and always the wolves, now we have seen a glimpse of some of the Nomads and the Amazon, but sadly not a picture of Aro, or Marcus, or even the sexy guards, Felix and Demetri ( Daniel Cudmore and Charlie Bewley). Where are they at and when can we finally expect to see them released?

Daniel Cudmore was at #SDCC this year promoting his role of Master Chief for Halo 4, and I am sure he would have been happy to represent both.  Did you even ask him to make an appearance?  By reading his very sarcastic words about “look at all the Volturi promo pictures and posters” I am going to say NO, you didn’t even bother.

Some of us just want to see more and with the upcoming film the last installment, I think it would be prudent for you to show the Volturi the justice and courtesy and get to pimping and promoting them.

There are more fantastic vampires being introduced and we would like to see more of them in the way of promo and pictures and even merchandise we can purchase! We would love to be able to be able to get some #Denali goodies and #Amazon merchandise. There is more to this last movie then just the Cullen’s.

For most of us (speaking for myself) we did fall in love with Edward and Bella and got sucked into the love story of them both. But as the story went on and we got to meet new people, Jacob, Aro, Felix new loves and maybe some obsessions were formed. Edward will always be my first love, he was the one that gave me chills up my spine, but then you introduced us to the Volturi. We got to see more of them in the movies and got introduced to them in more detail then we had in the books and for me a love was born.  I am not alone in this I assure you.

Fan Fictions were born dedicated to the Volturi and other covens as well.

The public wants more than the basics. We want more covens and pictures and merchandise!

I was lucky to meet the very awesome and sweet Judi Shekoni in Orlando via one of the many Twilight Conventions I have attended provided by Creation Entertainment, I would love to see more pictures and promos of her coven as well. I am very much #TeamAmazon and #TeamVolturi

To the lovely people at Creation Entertainment:

With the conventions coming to end (which I am not understanding why) GIVE US MORE MERCHANDISE from some of the other covens beyond the Cullen’s and the Wolves. You are having Mr. Christian Camargo at New Jersey in October, how about some #TeamDenali merchandise?  Also Daniel Cudmore and Charlie Bewley will be there, any chance of having some #TeamVolturi merchandise? I have creation spendable cash I need to use! While we are on the subject of the Volturi can you PLEASE get with the people at Summit/Lionsgate and get the updated pics of their characters for the posters that you will be hanging and ultimately auctioning off? You slacked and ONLY had Dan’s pictures of Felix from NEW MOON not even the Eclipse pictures in Nashville in April of 2012!

Please consider ALL the fans and ALL the vampires and ALL the covens when releasing the last installment of the movie. We want to see more than just the basics!

#TeamNomad – WE want more Toni Trucks and Eric Odom

#TeamAmazon More Judi Shekoni and Tracey Higgins

#TeamVolturi MUCH more Jamie Campbell Bower, and Daniel Cudmore and Christopher Heyerdahl

#TeamDenali WE NEED more Christian Camargo, Mia Maestro

#TeamWolfpack more of the very awesome Julia Jones and Boo Boo Stewart

#TeamRomanian WE NEED more Noel Fisher and the awesome (yes I am biased) Guri Weinberg

We all have our fave moments from Comic Con, do yours stack up to MTV?

'Breaking Dawn' At Comic-Con: Our Favorite Moments

Let's relive the best moments of the 'Twilight' victory lap in San Diego.

By Terri Schwartz

SAN DIEGO — Comic-Con bid a bittersweet farewell to "The Twilight Saga" this weekend as "Breaking Dawn - Part 2" marked the series' fourth and final panel at the convention.

It was as hard for the cast to say goodbye to the franchise as it was for the fans, and Summit sent "Twilight" off with a bang in San Diego. In honor of the series' dominance of Comic-Con for the past five years, we've pulled together our favorite moments from the weekend to share with you guys:

The First Seven Minutes Debut
Though Bill Condon couldn't attend the"Breaking Dawn - Part 2" Hall H panel , he said he wanted to kick it off by picking up exactly where we left off in "Breaking Dawn - Part 1." That meant showing off the first seven minutes of the movie, which included Kristen Stewart's favorite scene: Bella's first hunt. It only helped that we got surprise "Host" footage from Stephenie Meyer too.

And Then There Was the Animal Sex
If you thought "Breaking Dawn - Part 1" had some steamy sex scenes, just wait until you see what's in store for "Part 2." "We just wanted it to be animals, you're not humans anymore," Stewart said during the movie'sComic-Con press conference. "Yeah, how do you do that? We tried, and they told us it was rated R, and we were like [snaps]." That was about as inappropriate as the time Robert Pattinson said he wanted to "lick the pages" of "Fifty Shades of Grey."

A Time to Look Back
"Twilight" first premiered at Comic-Con back in 2008, meaning the series has spent its entire run being promoted in San Diego's summer movie festival. With "Breaking Dawn - Part 2" being the last film in the franchise, the cast spent a lot of time looking back. Nikki Reed said Comic-Con was the moment she realized how big the series was, while Stewart said she enjoys the "blast of energy" from fans every year.

It's Not Easy Being a Parent
Mackenzie Foy and her swear jar were two of the funniest topics of our "Breaking Dawn" Comic-Con takeover live stream. It turns out she made quite a few bucks from catching her fellow castmembers accidentally "cussing," just like Stewart did during the movie's press conference. Robert Pattinson admitted that on-set fatherhood was "a strange experience" that meant he's "not a kid anymore."

There Are Many New Vampires
One of the coolest parts of the "Breaking Dawn - Part 2" panel was the introduction — in person! — of all the new vampires we meet in the movie. Some of them stopped by the MTV News Comic-Con headquarters and proved to be just as charming as the big three stars are. What we would have paid to have seen the "Thriller"-style dance-off that Maggie Grace, Mia Maestro and Casey LaBow teased during our interview.

Say Goodbye to "Midnight Sun"
Meyer might love "The Twilight Saga," but she is done with vampires for the time being. She said as much during the "Breaking Dawn - Part 2" panel, but specifically told MTV News that "Midnight Sun" isn't coming anytime soon. She also doesn't think Summit will reboot the series without her. "I think that obviously that could happen, and in the right scenario, it might be something that I'd be excited about," Meyer added.

Gone But Not Forgotten
Casting a somber pall over the "Breaking Dawn - Part 2" panel was the death of "Twilight" fan Gisela Gagliardi. Both the fans and the cast offered kind words about her tragic passing. "Whenever you're faced with horrific tragedy, it's important to remember love at all cost," Jackson Rathbone said. "It takes time, but if you just remember that the love is with you for the rest of your life, your memory of them will be with you the rest of your life, that is beautiful. My condolences and my heartfelt sympathy for everybody."
