Have you ever had the urge to visit Forks, Washington, even though you know that you are not going to run into Bella or Edward? A new documentary, Twilight in Forks – The Saga of the Real Town, is the next best thing to being there. Here’s the description from Amazon:

“Filmed in HD by three-time Emmy Award-winning Director Jason Brown, this DVD documents the true story of the rainiest city in the United States, and the untold tales of its unique history, mysticism and culture. Since the Twilight movies were not filmed in Forks, this is your opportunity to see the town that Stephenie Meyer based her epic teen romance books on. Visit Forks High School, hear from the Chief of Police, the Forks Outfitters employee who gets mistaken for Bella, and the vampire transplant who plays the real-life role of Alice. Also hear self-described Jacobs grandfather tell the legend of how the Quileutes descended from wolves, walk on the La Push beach, and see many other sights from Forks area.”

You can pre-order Twilight in Forks now from Amazon and it will be released October 15.

With so many Twilight DVD editions coming out, it’s hard to figure out which one to order. Most of the Twilight DVDs are special editions, and they each come with something different. Below is a breakdown of some of the various options that we have found.

Amazon 2-Disc Special Edition: Amazon is selling the standard 2-Disc special edition but if you want to watch it on release day, this is the place to order. It doesn’t come with any fancy pictures, but it DOES come with a code to be able to watch the digital version of Twilight instantly on release day through Amazon Video on Demand. Plus it’s only $18.

Walmart Standard DVD: This is just the standard Twilight DVD for $17.00. The 2-Disc special edition is $17.97 and includes the movie plus a 7-part documentary on the making of the movie, deleted scenes, and director commentary.

Borders Twilight Special Edition with Booklet: As far as we can tell, this edition comes with the 2-Disc set (including Borders Book Club interview with Stephenie Meyer) and some kind of “booklet.” The descripion shows 10 exclusive postcards printed on pearlescent paper.

Barnes and Noble Twilight DVD set with Exclusive Free Phone Skin: B&N is selling the standard 2-Disc set but including a customizable Twilight skin for your cell phone, PDA, or MP3 player (from Skinit.com). Price depends on whether or not you are a B&N member (from $23.75 to $26.39).

We’ll be adding different Twilight DVD Editions as we come across them.

I just recieved my copy of Twilight: The Complete Illustrated Movie Companion and had to share it with you. It retails for $16.99, but I bought mine for about $10. Borders, Barnes and Noble, and Amazon are selling it for between $10 and $16, with Amazon selling it the cheapest at just over $10. 

Here’s a quick video of my book. I’ve only had it about an hour, so I haven’t read much of it. But what I have read is terrific. The pictures of Edward, Bella, the Cullen family, Forks, etc. are incredibly vivid. You can almost guess what scene all of them are from–including the baseball scene, prom, and the scene in the ballet studio. There are some incredibly hot pictures of Edward. There’s also an interesting picture and discussion of the Cullen Crest.

If you are looking at doing Twilight Halloween costumes, this book would be extremely helpful. You can see the eye colors of the characters, what Bella wears to prom, and how all of the characters are dressed. You can also see how subtle the vampire makeup is.

I don’t want to spoil it all for you, but I think you will agree when you watch the video that Twilight: The Complete Illustrated Movie Companion is worth the money!

I had been waiting all day for the final Twilight Movie preview to debut on ET, and it ended up being a little lame. Then I hit YouTube and found the full movie trailer. YEA!! It absolutely did not disappoint me. The preview seems to indicate what everyone has been saying–that the movie is going to be true to the Twilight book.

The preview gets me even more excited about seeing the movie! The characters, the soundtrack, the kiss between Bella and Edward. ACK! I’ve been ordering Twilight Shirts like crazy lately. But enough small talk–check out the Twilight Movie Preview and let me know what you think!

Many of you have been shopping for the Twilight Premium Trading Cards but are not wanting to pay the price for the full boxed set. Good news! We’ve located the Twilight Trading Cards in individual packs for only $3.00 if you preorder them now! That is a great deal!

The cards will feature pictures of the characters in the movie, along with facts about the characters and the movie. According to TFAW, additional cards will contain the following: “In addition to in-depth character and movie story cards, look for the bonus cards including Autograph cards, Pieceworks Movie Memorabilia cards, the ‘Always’ 9-card puzzle set, the ‘Different’ 6-card insert set, and ‘In Pursuit’ 3-card insert set.”

Sounds like they will be fun both to collect and to trade. You can pre-order your Twilight Trading Card single packs at Things From Another World for a limited time.

The first is the Twilight Cast Key Chain and has a picture of the main characters from the movie, including Edward and Bella.

The other key chain actually has two different images, one on each side. Here are pictures of the Twilight Bella and Edward Key Chain:

I could do without the picture of Bella, but that picture of Edward is h-o-t! Check out Hot Topic for these and other Twilight products.

They also now have a couple of new Twilight posters that I have not seen anywhere else–Edward, Jacob, and a new Edward and Bella:

My personal favorite of the new Twilight Posters is the one of Edward alone. It absolutely captures the essence, in my mind, of the Edward in the book. And who wouldn’t want a hot poster or Robert Pattinson?

If you are thinking of ordering posters, I would order them soon. As the movie release gets closer, everyone is going to be wanting these.
