Last night, The Hollywood Reporter released a statement about Breaking Dawn. How certain actors, revealed to be Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene, were demanding meer money for the movies.
Yes, the Twilight films are not at all Oscar worthy. They are films that are based on the boeken we all seemingly love. They don't showcase the actors' talent, if they have any. commentaren from different communities jokingly state that Summit would need to pay them alot of money to ster in the movies. Which, I'm sure is true for alot of the hardcore fans who believe that the films haven't done the book series justice.
Setting all jokes aside, and into a meer serious note, I am somewhat troubled door this, of door what the fans are saying. The Twilight Fandom has erupted into pandemonium meer than once: Twilight cast revealed, Twilight's release, Rachelle Lafevre's recast, New Moon filming in Italy (Bella/Edward kiss), Rob and Kristen at Kings of Leon Concert, Robert and Kristen seen holding hands (arguably for some), etc. This "salary dispute" has cause a minor uproar in the fandom.
Some people are saying that Summit should just pay them. Some are saying that they wouldn't be missed if recast, and that they are replaceable with a better actor/actress.
What do I think Summit should do? Based on this report, not all the details were given. We don't know exactly what is going on besides there is a bit of a money issue. Drama, to put it into loose terms. If Kellan and Ashley are demanding meer money, let's look at the cold, hard, evidence.
1) How big is Emmett's character in the books? And how big is Kellan's role in the movies? Answer: Not very big. And in the movies, maybe ten lines tops. Of course that's only Twilight and New Moon.
2) How big is Alice's character in the books? And how big is Ashley's role in the movies? Alice has a bigger role in the book than in the movies, but still, not a major character. Ashley is barely in the films as well. Of course, her part is probably growing due to a meer complicated plotline.
Should they be demanding meer money? I mean, we ALL know Summit is cheap and we are always ready to point fingers at them, but let's look at this closely. Why should Kellan and Ashley demand meer money when their characters are minor? Surely their paychecks get a little bigger due to meer lines in Eclipse, I'm sure, but why ask for an amount (unknown) that may risk in them losing the parts?!
Now, before I go ANY further, let me clarify. I HATE cast changes. I LOATHE them. When Rachelle was replaced, I WAS FURIOUS. And I would be quite upset with Summit if this fiasco wasn't settled, of didn't find a compromise, and that the actors would be replaced. However, why would they request meer money? Their parts are probably not that much bigger than Jackson's of Peter's. Jackson has about 5-10 minuten screentime, gathered door the Eclipse screening reviews and early draft of the script. Without Twilight, Kellan and Ashley wouldn't have had a career. At least, not like this. They aren't sought out stars because of their talent, they are sought out because they ster in Twilight. Once this franchise is over, I fear they won't have anything to rebound off of, and they will struggle to find jobs, just like it was before Twilight came along.
And do they "star" in Twilight? I wouldn't even consider their minimal work in Twilight, "starring". Ashley, yeah, she had a bigger role in New Moon, but it didn't leave an impact. It's not something u would remember if u weren't a hardcore fan of the films of books. It pains me to hear the actors demand for meer money when they had barely anything to toon for it. Kellan was in Nightmare on Elm Street... for 5 minutes. I hardly call that sought after.
Is Summit in the right to threaten kicking them of the wagon? I think so. I'm not one to side with Summit, but if this is how it went down, then I think so. For their egos to be that inflated and to be that high on the horse, I think it's time that this incident brought them down to earth. Time to humble up. Because demanding for a paycheck, just because the films are doing successfully, isn't professional. It would be nice if Summit did pay them a generous amount, but since their parts are rather small, I don't see why they are complaining about it.
Like I zei at the begining of the article. We don't know what happened. We don't know all the details. But, if the incident happened in a similar way to what I had been describing, then Summit has the right. I don't want them to be replaced. I'm not saying they're bad actors because they are mediocre (and Twilight doesn't showcase talent), but because I hate recasts. And, because, they own the characters. Their faces are linked to the characters for a while, and to replace that, it wouldn't be fair to the fans. But, they put themselves in that situation if they are demanding meer money. So they are doing it to themselves, and the fans.
My mind is an utter mess right now. I have so many mixed emotions about this subject, and it was hard to write out this article. So, I apologize if it doesn't make sense.
Please comment. I would really love to hear what u have to say about this incident. Let's pray it will get sorted out. It'd be a shame if they were replaced. They are loved in the fandom: as the characters and they themselves. It doesn't mean people will boycott the movies, but it would take the fandom further into the blackhole of pandemonium, further than we already are in. There's no going back to the good ol' days when it was just Twilight Tuesdays and no hatred. Just pure excitement that the films were being made. *sigh*
My opinion is they should "recast" the screenwriter, Melissa Rosenburg. She's the cause of alot of this mess! But again, that's my personal opinion :) But I'm sure I can find a few people that agree with me ;)
Sorry for rambling! commentaren are welcome!
EDIT: The amount Kellan and Ashley are demanding is 4 million each. 4 MILLION DOLLARS. Rob and Kristen get about 10-12 million and they are leads. 4M is a bit high, especially since Emmett and Alice are minor characters.

Last born of the clan
First one to be free
Lived inside a house
Beneath the hanging tree
Loved them deadly nights
That chilled him to the bone
Words were cried at night
In unforgiving tones
Blood of his men was gone beneath snow
He picked up his mes and his bow
Killer of Jonathan Low
Violence from without
And anger from within
Crawling through the fields
Informing volgende of kin
They all turned their backs
But they all knew his name
And if he could return
They'd probably do the same
Blood of his vrienden was gone beneath snow
For all that I know, he died
Killer of Jonathan Low
The blood of his vrienden was gone beneath snow

Up with your turret
Aren’t we just terrified
Shale, screen your worry
From what u won’t ever find
Don’t let it fool you
Don’t let it fool you, down
Down’s sitting round
Folds in the gown
Sea and the rock below
Cocked to the undertow
Bones, blood and teeth erode
With every crashing node
Wings wouldn’t help you
Wings wouldn’t help you, down
Death is around
Prayer in your smile
u barely are blinking
Wagging your face around
When’d this just become
A mortal home
Ahhhh
Won’t, won’t, won’t, won’t
Won’t let u talk me
Won’t let u talk me, down
Will pull it taut
Nothing now
Aren’t we just terrified
Shale, screen your worry
From what u won’t ever find
Don’t let it fool you
Don’t let it fool you, down
Down’s sitting round
Folds in the gown
Sea and the rock below
Cocked to the undertow
Bones, blood and teeth erode
With every crashing node
Wings wouldn’t help you
Wings wouldn’t help you, down
Death is around
Prayer in your smile
u barely are blinking
Wagging your face around
When’d this just become
A mortal home
Ahhhh
Won’t, won’t, won’t, won’t
Won’t let u talk me
Won’t let u talk me, down
Will pull it taut
Nothing now
When these pillars get put down
It will be u who wears the crown
And I’ll owe everything to you
Oooohh
Oooohh
How much pain has cracked your soul
And how much love would make u whole
You’re my guiding lightning strike
I can’t find the words to say
They’re overdue
I’ve traveled half the world to say
I belong to you
Oooohh
Oooohh
And she attacks me like a Leo
When my hart-, hart is spleet, split like Rio
And I assure u my debts are real
I can’t find the words to say
When I’m confused
I traveled half the world to say
u are my muse
Oooohh
Oooohh
Oooohh
I can’t find the words to say
They’re overdue
I’ve traveled half the world to say
I belong to you
Oooohh
Oooohh
It will be u who wears the crown
And I’ll owe everything to you
Oooohh

How much pain has cracked your soul

fans tried to save the school but in the end they couldn't get enough cash together.
A populair Twilight landmark has been demolished after a fan fundraiser to save the site failed to reach its target amount. They needed $287,000 to preserve the facade of Forks High School in Forks, Washington raised just a few thousand dollars.
The school, where Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson filmed scenes for the hit vampire movies, is one of a handful of locations in the sleepy town visited door devotees of the franchise to be destroyed.
The facade was bulldozed earlier this maand as bosses make way to build a new school. So if u want to see it, see it now!
