Auditions for 'Twilight' film are scams, says Portland casting agent Lana Veenker
sejak Margie Boule, The Oregonian
January 05, 2010, 12:57AM

The possibility of sharing a set with "Twilight" stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart might lead many a teen into a scammer's arms. All your teenager wanted for Krismas was a part in the seterusnya "Twilight" movie.

Since the first two films in the "Twilight Saga" series, "Twilight" and "New Moon," have been released and the third, "Eclipse," has been shot, teens all over the world are getting desperate. Their last chance to be the kid sitting in the back of the lunchroom, atau the teenager behind the counter of the coffeehouse, atau even the brown dot on the horizon in a crowd scene, could soon be gone.

So your teen jumps on the Internet and starts searching for audition opportunities. atau your daughter, who belongs to a "Twilight" peminat site, gets an e-mail out of the blue from a "casting scout" for "Breaking Dawn," the fourth film in the series.

Don't fall for it.

According to Lana Veenker, who owns Lana Veenker Casting in Northwest Portland, "It's all a scam."

Lana should know. Not only is she a legitimate casting agent, but she's also the casting agent who gave people real parts in the first "Twilight" movie, which was shot in Oregon and Washington.

Which puts her in the hot kerusi, tempat duduk these days when teens want to know how they can be in "Breaking Dawn."

"I'm getting messages on Facebook, on MySpace, on Twitter, on my blog, in e-mails, on voicemail," Lana says. "They're tracking me down any way they can."

A good number have been asking Lana about ads they've seen online atau e-mails they've received offering chances to audition.

Lana says the ads and e-mails claim "the deadline is approaching to audition for 'Breaking Dawn,' very imminently. They say 'on Monday,' atau 'in a few days.' And they say, 'You'll miss your opportunity unless anda register now,' and 'it's free for anda to register.'

"But when anda go there, anda discover 'register' means anda give them all your contact information."

Lana followed the pautan in a few ads and in e-mails that folks forwarded to her. She got to a page that claimed to be a casting call for "Breaking Dawn."

"It says sejak checking 'apply,' anda will send a link with your profil directly to the casting agent."

People who signed up berkata that once they sent foto-foto and contact info, they started getting messages, supposedly from the casting director. But they couldn't read the messages unless they paid for an account.

It's all a scam, Lana says.

"Anyone who is saying click here to audition for 'Breaking Dawn,' atau the deadline is coming up, is lying. 'Breaking Dawn' is not in production. No casting directors have been hired. Nobody is hiring extras."

First of all, "they haven't even announced what city atau country they're going to shoot in," Lana says. "They may shoot in Vancouver again," in British Columbia. If they do, "they're not going to hire American extras to shoot in Vancouver. American kids wouldn't be legal to work in Canada anyway without work permits.

"There's no way the production company would hassle getting permits for extras when thousands are dying to be in this who live right there."

Even if Summit Entertainment, the company that produces the films, chooses to shoot in Oregon again -- and there have been rumors it might -- Lana says casting directors would never sift through individual applications for extras. They'd have a casting call and check out thousands at a time.

Kids who think they could be cast in actual roles need a reality check, Lana says. In the first film, a few roles did go to actors who weren't yet famous. "But they were known to casting directors around the country," Lana says. "They weren't just plucked up off the jalan because they were fans."

Lana thinks "Breaking Dawn" won't be shot until the third film, "Eclipse," is released, which is scheduled for June. "Publicity will need the lead actors until then for press, to go to premieres all over the world and appear on shows like jay Leno's.

"But even if, say, they were going to start shooting on June 1, the principal casting company would be hired maybe eight weeks before then, and it will work with actors who have talent agents already. There may not be any open calls."

So anything that says casting is "imminent" is wrong.

"And extras won't be hired until a week atau so before production."

One last thing: "No bona fide casting director charges anyone money to audition. That's the bottom line."

Your kid wants to be in "Breaking Dawn"? Get him to an Berlakon class. Get her an agent. But you'd better do it fast.

I have thought about Penulisan my own story for quite some time, with my main influence being twilight-7. She has an amazing Penulisan style and has kept me and many others enthralled sejak her captivating story. I don’t want anyone to think that my stories will be in any way shape atau form nearly as good as hers but I will give it a try and if no-one likes it then I will simply give up and try something new.
Suggestions and komen-komen will be kindly welcomed throughout.

    When the final loceng rang and I drove home, I thought about my day. Wow. It had to be the strangest hari in the history of weird days. First, my Angel from my dreams shows up at my school the seterusnya day. Plus, he has all my classes and sits near me in every one. And, he asks me on a tarikh when I’ve only known him for a day. Oh, I almost forgot about his mind Membaca sister. I am SO taking a bubble bath tonight.

Chapter 2

    I was hyperventilating as my Angel walked past me on to his first class. He walked into the door of Mr. Emmi’s class, which was also my first class. I learned that my Bidadari name is Stefan . His sisters names were Colleen and Carmen. His brothers, Jacob and Leo.
    His voice was heavenly. Sweet and daring. He walked to the last empty desk. It was beside me. I moved my dompet, beg tangan from off the desktop and smiled at him politely. His answering smile made me hyperventilate again. I could have sworn I heard him chuckle.

"Wondering why your shield can't work Bella?" A girl's voice from the back room asked.
"Yeah! And who are you?" I asked. The two members going for the kill stopped and cleared out of the way as a girl walked up in a jean jaket and black leather pants.
"Well, my name is Ili and I can totally block any body's power. Including yours!" Ili berkata and she walked toward me and the two Going-For-The-Kill members went back to what they were doing. They leaned in to there necks, and Ili grabbed my arms...

I packed all my stuff as fast as I could. I mean, if I could leave with this guy, no this angel, and he liked me, like I liked him, then I would go anywhere with him. Even if he didn't, I would still go anywhere he asked me to. I made sure that all my stuff was where I could easily locate it. One box for kitchen, one for DVDs and VHSs, one for my bathroom, two for my clothes, one summer, one winter, and a box for my shoes. I used a sejuk for drinks and I was planning on grocery shopping today, but since I'm leaving, I decided against it. I just packed things that weren't opened into a smaller...

I sat down on the dresser as I watched her sleep. Listening to her dreams. She was dreaming about me, I mused. I remember that Bella used to dream about me, she talked in her sleep. It was interesting, the things she said, but she berkata my name too often. Now I was glad she didn't choose me. If she had, I would have never met Liz.
She was dreaming that I was a vampire. That would certainly make it easier, the sooner she figured it out the better, she already had the slightest inkling that I was one. And I would follow through with my promise. I would tunjuk her, and she would still Cinta me, hopefully....

I watched the gun pointed straight at my head, and looked twice at Mile who was grabbing his side from the pain. I wanted to help him through the pain, but Mandy wouldn't have it. I stared into the chamber of the gun, trying to see the bullet that would kill me if I did something wrong. I couldnt see it.

After about 4 hours of lifelessly laying on the floor, I decided to get up and do something, anything.

I went to the bathroom to go take a shower. My reflection was........well........just horrible. I barely recognized myself. My eyes were red and puffy. My nose was flaming red. My face was so red, I wasn't zaitun skinned anymore. I was a little bit redder than a normal Fork's face color.

"HAHA! anda GUYS ARE HILLARIOUS!" I laughed. I laughed so hard that I fell out of my chair. Bella helped me up and the others just stared at me.
"You have to be joking, vampires?" I asked with a chuckle.
"We are Katrina, and we are offended that anda take this as a joke," Carlisle said.
"I am very sorry."
"Its alright Katrina, but we are telling the truth. Please believe us," Jasper asked. I nodded.
Vampires--you cannot be serious.

Kristen Stewart heard about the obsessive peminat-peminat of Stephenie Meyer's best-selling book "Twilight" before she took the part of moody teenager Bella angsa, swan in the film adaptation, but she refused to let them affect her work during the film's Portland, Ore., shoot. Even as small crowds of the books' peminat-peminat would follow from one outdoor location to another, she says she "kept her head down the entire way."

"I just didn't pay attention," Stewart recalls. "I was like, 'You guys are celebrating something that has not come true yet. So, anda are really retarded...

Hello My Fellow Twilighters,


as anda may be wondering, what the heck is this artikel about, and the truth is very simple, i'm in the mood to be random. i've read many stories, on how people have come across Twilight, some say they got it from a friend, some say a family member bought it. well in my case, I wasn't so Lucky.
so when i was in High School (in 2005 i was in 10th grade) i was a major Bookworm, i read buku on a daily basis, different kinds, and most of them I finished within one day. anyways, i went to the buku store almost everyday, looking for buku with Covers that attarched attention,...
