STEWART ON MEXICAN BILLBOARD


A photograph from Kristen Stewart's 'W' magazine spread was spotted on a billboard in Mexico. 

Yesterday, Stewart's 'Twilight' co-star, Michael Welch, tweeted his opinion raving about the covergirl as well as the infamous Paris Hilton being conveniently photographed carrying the 'W' magazine with Stewart's photograph facing the photogs.  It appears that this will be one popular photo shoot.

Thanks to @TwilightPoison for the photograph.
SECURITY IS TIGHT


(Source: Loving Dalston)

The Loving Dalston tweeted that they attempted to get near the filming area of where they reported Charlize Theron would be at the famed 900-year old church in Clerkenwall. But security was so tight they could not get near it.

Nice try and the fans appreciate the effort LD!  We're sure the Loving Dalston will obtain some type of filming information and when they do, we'll report it.

Also, as fans have noticed, there have not been a lot of tweets coming from the cast here lately.  Something tells us they may have been placed on Twitter lockdown which we totally understand Universal wanting to keep a lid on things since competition is fierce. But you know fans just cannot help themselves, we need to be fed or we'll starve. So, hopefully something will sneak through soon.

Everyone keep their eyes and ears open.  If you find out something, let us know via Twitter @SWATH4Fans or by email at swath83@gmail.com.  If you want to DM us, we have to follow you on Twitter, just let us know.  Thanks everyone!!


IS THIS RAY?

 The Sun is reporting that Ray Winstone "looks a right mess" while filming the television series 'Great Expectations' on the Essex marshes. 

Winstone is starring in a "BBC adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic Great Expectations, playing escaped convict Magwitch. The three-part Christmas drama also stars The X Files' Gillian Anderson."

The Sun states Winstone said: "I've wanted to play him for ages. I'm really excited. It's my favourite novel."

SWATH fans will see Ray Winstone play a dwarf named 'Trajan' in Snow White and the Huntsman.

TWILIGHT CO-STAR PRAISES KRISTEN'S MAG COVER





Kristen Stewart's 'Twilght' co-star Michael Welch gave a wonderful compliment via Twitter regarding Stewart's 'W' magazine cover.


He tweeted:

" BTW, have you all seen Kristen on the cover of W this month? Holy Moses, she looks AMAZING! Incredible picture."


It's nice to see her former castmates continue to be supportive.  Well said Mike!
ANOTHER FAN PICTURE!!




She says it's only one picture but to us it's the world! This is a shot at Black Park.  Thanks Jesm30 the fans will take anything we can get. We love it!!
KRISTEN MUST BE "HOT" TO BE SEEN WITH A HILTON

 She definitely knows how to work a camera and angles.  Paris Hilton was "conveniently" seen carrying the W Magazine the Kristen Stewart's cover.  Do you really carry a magazine with the main cover not facing you and not in a bag?  

Oh Paris.  You got what you wanted, a picture of you carrying the "hottest" covergirl this year.  In this case, we sort of don't mind.  Just don't crease the book.

You can see more pictures of Paris carrying Kristen here

SWATH CREW GIVING TO A GOOD CAUSE





We all hear of the charities the actors are affiliated with but it is nice to hear when the crew gets involved with charities as well.

The electrical and electrical rigging department donated to a worthy cause known as The Jessica Rose Foundation.

According to its website, Jessica Rose was diagnosed with a craniopharyngioma which is a
"benign brain tumour situated in the pituitary field."  She has had several surgeries and will require extensive radiation therapy.


Here is the thank you notation to the crew posted on the site on August 12th:

"Many thanks to Snow White and the Huntsman…
A massive thank you to the electrical and electrical rigging department working on Snow White and the Huntsman at Pinewood Studios for the very kind donation."

NAME THE FANDOM


(Source: Moviefone)




(Source: Google Images)

From Trekkies to Warsies to Twihards to Ringers, major fandoms have a recognizable nickname for their obsessed fans.  When the world was obsessing about the last Harry Potter film, we were geeking out creating the first fansite for  'Snow White and the Huntsman' because...well...we're proudly obsessed.   


(Source: Google Images)
SWATH fans have the potential to look like this at the next Comic-Con.  Imagine dressing up as a dwarf or as the Huntsman or even carrying a sword and shield like Snow White herself.  Imagine the possibilities.


(Source: Google Images)

So for fun, we thought we would see what nickname the obsessed fans of SWATH could create for the SWATH fandom. Heck, why wait until someone from the media to create one. We can boldly make up our own name and use it because that's how we do things with SWATH.  We roll into Comic-con without a stitch of film and blow the roof off and now we can make up our own name because we're just that rad. 

We had some quirky entries such as "SNOWhooked" or "SNOWMEN" (female fans were omitted) or how about "Snowbabies". 

(Source: Google Images)
With that said, here are the ones that were either repeated as entries or made it out of the quirkey cut.  We gave you a blank so you can still fill in your own ideas.  So let's vote and narrow it down.

Here's the first round of voting and depending upon the results, we may have more than two rounds of voting. You can vote as many times as you want.  So, let's see which name survives.  Voting will stay open until Saturday, September 3rd 12am E.S.T. (USA).

So here we go SWATH fans, let's have some fun and see what happens.  Start voting *smiles*!

Myanna Buring who plays 'Tanya' in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn and 'Lilly' in White Heat recently spoke about both Kristen Stewart and Sam Claflin via video and on Twitter.

Buring tweeted this morning that she was headed to make up for her role in White Heat.  She confirmed via Twitter that it was the same White Heat which stars Claflin (he recently tweeted he just wrapped).  Buring says "he's brilliant in it".

Buring in a recent interview spoke about Kristen Stewart.  She was asked did she "get on well" with Stewart and Buring said, "Kristen is amazing"; "she's cool"; "I think she's got great opinions and I think she sticks up for them and that's rare in this business"; " she's great fun to work with and I loved it".

Buring also discusses Breaking Dawn's wedding scene as well and Tanya's relationship to Bella.

You know what's next right? Six Degrees of Kristen Stewart!!!  But it only takes two:

CAN YOU NAME THE FANDOM?




Studios hire public relation and advertising firms to come up with promotions and logos etc...  Then some things just come naturally like calling Star Trek fans "Trekkies" and Twilight fans "Twihards".

So we've been asking fans of 'Snow White and the Huntsman' for ideas for a nickname for the obsessed SWATH fan because they do exist.  Fans wanting to know every morsel of information. 

Fans standing in the rain to take pictures of a sign or the building of a prop.  Fans that are excited just to speak with  an extra from the film and comes on Twitter to share it with everyone.  THE OBSESSED!! 

So far we have received several entries.  Here are a couple ideas: @sparkybitchface suggested "SWATHard"; or how about "SNOWIES" by xJazzix; or "SWATHers" by @imloco2.

Have something better?  Then post it below or send us a tweet at @SWATH4Fans.  We are going to put together a poll and narrow down the best of the best and let fans vote.  What should SWATH fans be called?  What will sell tee shirts, cups, hats etc...? 

Think about it and submit your entry and see if it's catchy enough for the fans. Good luck!!

NO FILM FESTIVALS FOR STEWART'S 'ON THE ROAD'


(Stewart & Hedlund pictured here)


Variety is reporting that 'On the Road' starring Garrett Hedlund, Sam Riley and Kristen Stewart will not be ready for any film festivals this fall.

Variety states that Tom Luddy, co-director of the Telluride Film Festival, "has been tracking his pal Walter Salles [director]  for "On the Road," but Salles told Luddy he's still working on the sound and won't be ready for any fall festivals."

Fall film festivals have become a barometer for future Oscar nominees (Juno, The Hurt Locker).  This does not negate any nominations for 'On the Road' it only means that people will not see it at the festivals.

Read the entire article about courting films for festivals and their importance here.

THOR REVEALED IN NEW 'AVENGERS' COMIC BOOK PROMO ART



(Marvel)

If you look at the photo who sticks out really?  Captain America may be up front and center by you just can't take your eyes off of the guy with the long hair and the hammer thingy *chuckles*. OK, OK hardcore comic book fans, Thor and his "Mjolnir" stands out.

Yes, Marvel Comics unveiled this promotion art poster of the cast of 'The Avengers' as " part of their advanced solicitations to bookstores", according to Coming Soon.net. This is the working cover for Marvels new collection of comics called "Road to the Avengers" which provides tie-ins of the characters as well as a prequel.

Marvel describes the new series as follows:


"Gear up for the upcoming Avengers movie with these official in-movie continuity stories starring Avengers mainstays Iron Man, Captain America and the Agents S.H.I.E.L.D.! First, it's an expanded re-imagining of the original Iron Man, featuring bonus scenes not in the movie! Then, it's an all-new Iron Man adventure! What happened between the events of Iron Man and Iron Man 2? How did Tony Stark put a new chapter in the history books? And how did Iron Man break and rewrite all the rules? Then, it's Black Widow, Nick Fury and Agent Coulson in espionage action! Think you know S.H.I.E.L.D.? Check out what you DIDN'T see in the movies! And finally, it's the official comics prequel to the blockbuster Captain America! Steve Rogers is the inspiration for millions during the dark days of World War Two -- but where did he get his inspiration from? How did he meet his best friend, "Bucky" Barnes? And what set him on the path to becoming the First Avenger? Experience an all-new Cap adventure on the European battlefields."


So fanboys and fangirls, you have some reading to do before the movie comes out.

A THOR SIGHTING, A MAN DOWN, A PHONE DILEMMA & A LITTLE HEARTBREAK


(Cecily Fay)
 There's a potpourri of information being tweeted today by the cast and crew of SWATH. 

First up, the Prince.  Sam Claflin tweeted that today is his last day on the movie set of 'White Heat'.  He's sad.  Understandable but you are about to begin to be with SWATH permanently and the fans are excited.  So, hugs to Sam on his last day there.

Stuntwoman Cecily Fay made the earth shake (sorry for the pun but I just went through my first major earthquake & it's still on my mind *smiles*) when she tweeted that she met "Thor"!  OK, fanboys and fangirls, let it out *covers ears*. 

Next up is one of the stuntmen who's down for the count, at least for today.  Ashley Beck tweeted that he is getting some physical therapy done because he tweaked his neck poor baby.

Got a tweet from a possible dwarf stand-in/stunt double, Edd Osmond (he never admitted it *winks*).  He wanted everyone to know that he is up and running under @EddOsmond and to disregard the @EddOsmondUK account.   

Also he's having a "new cell phone" dilemma. iPhone or Blackberry. We understand.

I also found out that Palak Patel was from my hometown of Philadelphia last night which is just totally rad.  He tweeted telling his us to be safe because we are about to get hit with a major hurricane. So prayers to all the people in the Delaware Valley area and up and down I-95.

Last but certainly not least, our friend and stuntman Jess will continue acting although he is a busy guy and couldn't continue on with SWATH.  If you didn't get a chance to read his thoughts about working on SWATH, you can read them here. Just click "News".
