Before “The Underground Railroad.” Before “If Beale Street Could Talk.” Before his Best Picture-winning “Moonlight,” there was “Medicine for Melancholy.” The debut feature from writer/director Barry Jenkins, “Medicine for Melancholy” is a mumblecore journey through the streets of San Francisco shared by Micah (Wyatt Cenac) and Jo (Tracey Heggins), two brief lovers who share a day together after a one-night stand.

Released in 2008, the low-budget film captures a specific moment in San Francisco before it gentrified from a vibrant denizen for young artists into a moneyed landscape composed of tech giants.

In the manner characteristic of low-budget “issue” films, writer-director Barry Jenkins’s Medicine for Melancholy is a triptych of progressive themes—reluctant romance, race, and urban displacement—interwoven by the circuitous gab of an unremarkable but authentic two-person cast. Each of these three topics is given its own compartmentalized narrative thread, but unlike with other multi-layered works of metropolitan malaise (The Visitor immediately springs to mind), all three of the socio-humanist plotlines uniformly fail along with the leads’ addled relationship.

At dawn, African-American bedfellows Micah (Wyatt Cenac) and Jo (Tracey Heggins) retrace the inebriated, hormonal footsteps of an impromptu one-night stand with humiliating ignorance. Jo resists Micah’s sober advances but Micah continues hounding, suffering from the misconception that their accidental sex possessed a germ of meaning. Biographical details begin to emerge. Micah lives in San Francisco’s modest but colorful Tenderloin district, Jo in the affluent Marina with her presumably yuppy (and white) boyfriend.

It was already an emotional night at the Apollo as the iconic Harlem venue was filled by over 1,000 people for the U.S. premiere of “If Beale Street Could Talk,” writer-director Barry Jenkins’ adaptation of James Baldwin’s 1974 novel. Then the Baldwin family joined Jenkins and the film’s cast onstage for the off-site New York Film Festival event to explain why they gave their permission for the first adaptation of the late writer’s work.

Baldwin’s nephew, Trevor Baldwin, took the microphone first. “My Baldwin family, wassup?” he greeted an ecstatic crowd, establishing a tone that fit the celebratory occasion. Jenkins’ first movie since Oscar winner “Moonlight” premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September, but the Apollo screening represented a homecoming: As Nyff director Kent Jones noted at the start of the night, Baldwin was born in Harlem Hospital and lived on 128th Street and Fifth Avenue,...

Among the many impressive numbers associated with “Black Panther” is the director’s age. At just 31, Ryan Coogler has directed an historic, record-breaking blockbuster whose achievements will be studied for years by scholars and pop culture dabblers alike. He follows in the footsteps of such wunderkinds as Steven Spielberg and Orson Welles, who were respectively 28 (“Jaws”) and 25 (“Citizen Kane”) when they first helmed movies that were to become iconic cinema classics.

Coogler’s not the only young filmmaker to leave a mark at an early age in recent years. Thus, we present to you our ranking of the 25 best movies from 2000 to the present from filmmakers 35 and under. (Sorry, Jason Reitman and Xavier Dolan: you’re Canadian.) To keep the list manageable, we stuck to homegrown Americans only, and picked our favorite film from each early oeuvre. (If you disagree, feel free to share alternatives in the comments.

Director Barry Jenkins’ second feature film “Moonlight,” about the life of a young black male coming to terms with his environment and sexuality, has garnered widespread critical acclaim and has grossed over $9 million since its release. Before “Moonlight,” Jenkins has only directed one other feature film, but he has also directed a little-seen student film before that. Watch his 2003 short film “My Josephine” below, courtesy of Jenkins and Vimeo. According to Jenkins, it was written and directed shortly after 9/11 and it functions as a reminder to channel “this energy” to create.

Jenkins’ first film “Medicine for Melancholy” follows the one-day romance between two black twenty-somethings Micah (Wyatt Cenac) and Jo (Tracey Heggins) as they discuss racial identity and gentrification in San Francisco. It premiered at SXSW in 2008 and Jenkins won the Marlon Riggs Award from...

Since its premiere at the Telluride Film Festival earlier this year, Barry Jenkins’ “Moonlight” has garnered widespread critical acclaim and has grossed over $3 million. The film follows the life of Chiron from childhood to early adulthood as he struggles with his environment and his budding sexuality. Though its performances and Jenkins’ direction have received much attention, the film’s score and soundtrack are worthy of notice as well. Watch a montage below from A24 featuring clips from “Moonlight” and a selection of songs from the film, including “Classic Man” by Jidenna (feat. Roman GianArthur), “Boris Gardiner’s “Every N****r is a Star” and Goodie Mob’s “Cell Therapy.”

Barry Jenkins is about to become the next big thing, but he’s been here before. “Moonlight,” which he wrote and directed, has been celebrated as the year’s major discovery and the ultimate achievement in modern black filmmaking. That’s nothing new for Jenkins: Eight years ago, the director faced similar acclaim on a smaller scale with his 2008 debut, “Medicine for Melancholy.” However, the lag between his first two features is a testament to Jenkins’ quiet determination — and to a culture that had yet to catch up. It takes time for the world to recognize a genuine vision.

“I think a filmmaker like me isn’t on the outside in the same way that I was in 2008, even though the work itself feels very, very outsiderish,” he said. “It’s completely fucking crazy, because it didn’t used to be that way.” While “Moonlight” marks Jenkins’ transition into a major artist,...

Writer/director Sheldon Candis’ first feature is a gutsy Baltimore drama centered on 11-year-old Woody (Michael Rainey Jr.), a fatherless youth who gets a lesson in the hard-knock life from his hustler Uncle Vincent (Common). At the outset, Woody is living with his grandmother (Lonette McKee), longing to reunite with his estranged mother (Tracey Heggins), and is enamored with his Uncle Vincent, who’s just been released from an eight-year stretch in prison. Woody happily accepts a ride to school from Vincent one morning, only to be taken for an even wilder ride when his uncle decides Woody should instead spend the day on the streets with him. Vincent is trying to go straight...

All are first features by wildly original voices who are remixing potent multi-cultural heritage and inventing their own unique brand of genre. So much talent! Makes this Chicanita so proud!

Let’s start with numero uno:

1. Water & Power – from Chicano wordsmith warrior and Culture Clash iconoclast, Richard J. Montoya and produced by Mark Roberts. This is the screen adaptation of Montoya's 2006 play originally performed at the Mark Taper Forum in La. Rife with The City of Angels' legends, haunts and lore, the Chicano noir tale (how cool is that?) takes place over the course of one fateful night. An intense story centered on twin brothers nicknamed “Water” played by Enrique Murciano and “Power” played by Nicolas Gonzalez who were born and raised on the East Side streets playground - one grows up to be a senator and the other a high ranking cop. The young gifted musical artist and composer Gingger Shankar (Circumstance, Charlie Wilson's War) has contributed music to the film. The project participated in the 2007 Sundance Institute screenwriters & directors lab. A madly prolific playwright (a regular Berkeley and Yale Repertory Theatre collaborator), I got a chance to see Montoya's uproarious American history redux play, American Night: The Ballad of Juan Jose last fall (read the La Weekly feature review here). An uncompromising artist with a thundering voice all over the culture pop pulse, Montoya's first feature film tops my list of films to watch out for in 2013. Can. Not. Wait.

2. Pardon – written and directed by R.F. Rodriguez and produced by his production company BadMansSon. A story that deals with a cholo ex-con who returns to his barrio in Highland Park and sets to go on the straight and narrow but soon finds himself pulled by his old gang familia may sound familiar, but never has it been as emotionally excavated and depicted with such sensitivity and complexity. Hector Atreyu Ruizis Saul Sanchez whose driving motivation is the chance to reunite with his estranged daughter. Guided by a sympathetic parole officer, played by Tracey Heggins (from the 2008 indie African-American gem (Medicine for Melancholy), Saul tackles catch-22 circumstances towards his mission and confronts growing uneasiness from his vatos who continue to test if he's still down. At its core the film is an exploration about fatherhood and home, in particular highlighting the social phenomenon of absentee fathers because they are behind bars, an issue predominantly afflicting Latino families and communities.

Rodriguez, a USC film school grad, made the feature before graduating, having fleshed the story further out of the short film he made of the same name. His project mentor, Patricia Cardoso (Real Women Have Curves) encouraged him to do more with it and this is the amazing result. With earnest and raw performances, the moving and powerfully directed film marks this a sign of a true filmmaker talent discovery.

3. Recommended By Enrique written and directed by Daniel Garcia and Rania Attieh and produced by their NY based company En Passant Films. Shot in border town Del Rio, Texas (the U.S. side of the Rio Grande) with an offbeat hipster cast of young non-professionals plucked locally, the quirky, mystical tale is about an aspiring actress and an old cowboy who each arrive into town with respective plans and expectations, only to end up waiting for something to happen. Forced to wait out their time, they've nothing to do but explore the bewitching town and its people. Lino Varela plays the Cowboy and Sarah Swinwood, a Canadian newcomer actress nails the airhead wannabe star.

This is the second feature film from Texas native Daniel Garcia and Lebanese born Rania. Their first film, Ok, Enough, Goodbye screened at San Francisco International Film Festival among other world wide festivals, and the duo were included in 2011's Filmmaker Magazine’s 25 New Faces of Independent Film. Undertones of a Twilight Zone type of dimension and the spellbinding pull of the dusty town are perfect captured - as anyone who's been in these strange little Texas towns can attest. An unexpected, unpredictable and ultimately lyrical film, this definitely gets my recommendation.

4. Vincent & Luzy (Fka On the Run) written and directed by Alberto Barboza and produced by Cinético Productions. A charming, hip and modern fairy tale love story between a soulful graffiti artist,Vincent, played by Miguel Angel Caballero, and sexy tattoo artist, Luz, or Luzy played by Iliana Carter Ramirez. The film captures and romanticizes the happening, multi-culti rockabilly/emo scene and counter culture of Boyle Heights and Echo Parque, and features lots of home grown talent and spots like Self Help Graphics, the community visual arts mission center. The posters created by Vincent in the film are designed by La native, rising street artist, El Mac (Miles MacGregor). You'll recognize some of his murals around La like this one on Hollywood and Wilton, one of my favorites. He just did the album cover for No Doubt.

An eclectic soundtrack featuring local Vallenato band, Very Be Careful, Hermanos Herrera, Irene Diaz, Doghouse Lords and more. The cast also includes ol' G', Sal Lopez (American Me) and Lupe Ontiveros in what may be her last film role before she passed away last year (she also has a small role in Water & Power).

Fresh, exuberant and inhabiting a distinct, heightened magical street reality, Vincent & Luzy might be the first film to truly reflect this young, vibrant artist subculture, making this one a hot to track.

5. Blaze You Out – written and directed by Mateo Frazier and Diego Joaquin Lopez and produced by Alicia J. Keyes. Set in the rarely seen mystic world of New Mexico, this young female driven thriller is uniquely atmospheric. Starring the rising young talent, Veronica Diaz Carranza (Mamitas) along with Elizabeth Pena, Q'orianka Kilcher and Raoul Trujillo, all who ignite the screen. Diaz stars as Lupe, a DJ who is forced to venture into her town's heroin trade underworld in order to save her younger sister Alicia's life. To do so she must confront mysterious occult figures and harness the power within her to connect with the divine that surrounds her.

I was thrilled to hear that Lionsgate picked up the film at Afm a couple months ago. Lionsgate/Grindstone will release the film July 2013. 6 Sales is handling rights to rest of world. Intense and wicked and unlike anything else this is a film to look forward to. In the meantime, check out the press kit, pics and more on their site.

Must Mention

Chavez – written and directed by Diego Luna and produced by Canana Films, Mr. Mudd and backed by Participant Media. The biography of an iconic Chicano figure, labor rights activist Cesar Chavez, and Luna, who is an international name talent, has obviously been given major press coverage ever since it was first announced so it doesn't really fit my 'Discovery' profile. That said, it is a highly anticipated and eagerly awaited film. I truly hope the film opens wide and mainstream - although Participant will likely need a partner to make this happen in the U.S. Michael Peña, the Puerto Rican actor catapulting towards leading man roles and more regularly Hollywood roles (he's also in Gangster Squad opening this weekend), embodies a young Chavez. It wasn’t quite ready for Sundance so it’s possible the film will bow at a high profile festival like Cannes or Toronto. Although I'm hoping Stephanie Allain, director of Film Independent's La Film Festival will go hard after the film to wrangle what would be a fitting La gala premiere. Diego Luna proved his salt as the filmmaker of Abel, an eloquent and heart-stirring portrait of a little delusional boy who pretends to be the man of the house since his father left. Peña recently shared his approach was to be truthful to Cesar the Man not necessarily the legend or myth generated by his colossal perseverance and labor rights feats. All eyes will be on the representation of such a querido and influential figure. My bet? All in. I trust the filmmakers and cast will deliver a resonant and accomplished cinematic film worthy of the inspiring civil rights story, and more importantly re-introduce Chavez to mobilize our millennial generation.

Tracey Heggins, who portrayed Senna of the Amazonian Coven in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2, has spoken up about what it was like for her to interact with Stephenie Meyer on the set of the film last year and as it turns out, she got an oh-so-great little writing tip direct from the Twilight queen! Speaking to BlackFilm.com, Heggins explained that she's a "closeted writer" herself and seized her first opportunity to speak to Meyer not about her character details and whatnot but rather about whether she had any suggestions for a would-be fellow author. View slideshow: 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2' "She said, 'Just write,'" Tracey Heggins remembered. "Don ...

One of the things I’d missed about ‘Breaking Dawn – Part 2′ was the lack of the Amazon vampires’ presence since they were so vibrant in the books. In this interview with blackfilm.com , Tracey Heggins gives us some insight into Senna’s backstory and explains the Amazon vampires’ attachment to Renesmee. She also revealed a little-known fact about herself, which led to her excitement about meeting Stephenie Meyer, and shares her ‘Breaking Dawn – Part 2′ experience.

How was the premiere on Monday?

Tracey Heggins: It was such a blessing because Sunday night, we had gone to tent city and we connected with the fans and we gave out so many autographs and they gave us so much love. We went in on Monday feeling endowed and after we got that fan love, we felt we could come down the red carpet knowing that there’s a ton of people behind us wanting us to be successful; and they haven’t even seen the film yet. We started out the door with sheer confidence.

How much has your fan base grown since you were cast in the film?

Th: Literally, Brazil, South America. We they found out we were cast in the film, they were so loyal and ready to go. That was exciting. People from Brazil and South America were ready to support me and Judi (Shekoni).

How would you describe Senna ?

Th: Well, my character Senna was turned at a time when they wasn’t any modern technology and the last time she’d seen “modern” people, it devastated her community. That’s where you see her apprehensions and fears and cautiousness throughout the film. My back-story is that Zafrina has her friend Carlisle and it’s like, “Look Zafrina, what are you getting us into again?” We end falling in love with the Cullen and I end up personally helping these people I didn’t think I would like.

Senna and Zafrina also seem to have a liking to Edward and Bella’s daughter, Renesmee.

Th: That’s where I fell in love. Senna came out and fell in love with the baby. She’s such an amazing little vampire there. You would do anything to help fight for her life. She deserves to live.

How was shooting the battle sequence?

Th: When we shooting it, it was literally on a green screen. We just shot the fight sequences and to see it put together, it’s different from shooting it. There’s not a lot of upfront continuity in the beginning when you’re shooting that scene. You have no idea what it’s going to look like.

Is this the first time you have filmed behind a green screen?

Th: Yes. This is the first time I shot behind a green screen. This is the first time I did a stunt on a crane. With ‘Twilight,’ I did a lot of firsts. I am amazingly blessed to be a part of this.

Having met author Stephanie Meyer, what did you pick up from her?

Th: I love that you asked that question because I’m such a closeted writer and that was the first thing I asked her. “What tips do you have for closeted writers?” She said, “Just write.” “Don’t think about going to school to write. Read,” she also added. She mentioned that she went to school for literature and just read. She read all the greatest science fiction writers. Octavia Butler won an Hugo award. She wrote and Stephanie said to just read. That literally changed me as a writer. Everyone talks about great American literature and no one can define it, but if you were to or had to define it, it would be based on how many people you have touched by the writing. Stephanie has touched so many people and I think that’s great American literature at its finest. For me to get a tip of the trade and I’m obsessed with Robert Jordan, who wrote ‘The Will of Time.’ Hopefully, I can write a book and get it published. I love Stephanie Meyer. She’s so gracious and always takes that moment to talk.

This week, we'll be giving a big farewell to "The Twilight Saga" with the release of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2" on Friday.

Judging by the clips and trailers we've seen so far, we can expect to see some serious vampire Bella (Kristen Stewart) action and get to catch up with the one and only Cullen coven. But, with a ton of other bloodlovers coming into the fold for the final film, Twi-hards should probably also brace for some new faces.

To help remind you who's who among the new coven vampires in "Breaking Dawn - Part 2," we put together this handy dandy little refresher guide.

Denali Coven

Sure, the Denalis were introduced as wedding guests in "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1," but these Alaskan vegetarian vamps have a much bigger stand in "Part 2." They're super-tight with the Cullens — even considering themselves faux cousins...

Carlisle might not ask you to fight, but I will. For the sake of my family. But also for yours and for the way you want to live. Jacob (Taylor Lautner): The packs will fight. We've never been afraid of vampires. Tanya (Myanna Buring): We will fight. Garrett (Lee Pace): This won't be the first time I've fought a king's rule. Benjamin (Rami Malek): We'll join you.

We’re still a couple weeks behind on Summit Entertainment’s “New Face Fridays” with the Twilight Fansites, so bear with us as we catch you up! First we had the chance to hear from Denali Coven members Casey Labow and MyAnna Buring, then Amazon Coven members Judi Shekoni and Tracey Heggins, Egyptian Coven members Rami Malek and Angela Sarayan, Irish vampires Patrick Brennan and Marlane Barnes and Romanian Coven Vampires Noel Fisher and Guri Weinberg. Now we’ve got our very first Nomad Vampire with Joe Anderson. Read more below:

How much did you know about Twilight before you auditioned or before you got the part?

Joe Anderson: I wasn’t living on Mars so I knew a lot about it. Friends of the family as well were a little younger than I am, young girls, and they were huge, huge fans so when they found out that I was going to have something to do with it, my street cred went through the roof. So there was a gathering and watching of films together and getting excited about it. I’d seen all of them (the movies) I think by the time I was shooting in Canada.

Does that mean you haven’t read any of them?

Joe: No, you know interestingly enough, no, I did pick around the books. The interesting thing with Alistair is that the way he is used in the film versus the books is slightly different. For me it was more about taking this rather aloof character and developing him. And as an outsider, you know I wasn’t part of the previous movies, so I sort of felt like I had a bit of room to kind of play with this guy because none of the other characters quite knew what to expect and what have you. So it was quite freeing – quite fun to sort of go in there and really sort of invent something.

He’s (Alistair) a loner. Except for his history with Carlisle, you almost wonder why he decided to come and join up with the Cullen’s. He’s leaving pretty early on. Did you have an idea or did you talk to Stephenie about what his motivations were?

Joe: Yeah. It’s a really interesting question. I think, obviously without giving too much away, that the notion of just a general sort of right and wrong. One of things that serves Alistair is that he’s a tracker – his senses were quite strong. I think the reason for what he does is more to do with morality and right and wrong, and I think that he just doesn’t feel he is necessary because whatever will happen will happen. But I think it will explain itself, without giving anything away, more clearly in the film.

Did you do a lot of that character building before hand with Noel Fisher or did you build on your own and tell him “Hey this is what I came up with?”

Guri: I don’t want to speak for Noel, but I will speak for myself, I did it by myself at first. Noel and I met briefly in wardrobe fitting in La, and then in October we had to go to Baton Rogue to camera, lighting tests, makeup tests, you know with Bill Condon, with everyone else. And so what happened was we had a meeting regarding our character. He wanted to hear what our ideas were and he wanted to let us know what his ideas were. And out of that meeting, really all three of us talked about what we wanted. We flushed it out and that’s how we came to be on the same page.

We saw a still with you guys sitting around the campfire and it looks like they are looking at you and Noel as Vladimir, will we get to see some of that backstory looked upon? Like his war story that he’s talking about at the campfire?

Guri: I don’t know how much I am allowed to reveal, but I’m just gonna put it more on the wide scope where we all talked about our experiences. You are not going to be able to pull it out of me.

How much did you have to give Mackenzie in the swear jar. You are the one that kinda started it with her. How much did you have to give her?

Guri: Well I was lucky enough in the spirit that I didn’t have as much money as Rob and Kristen did, so she let me get away with it. But I was the one that told her to start a swear jar cause I felt that I was not a big help. She’s like a ninja, the way she comes up you don’t hear her. So at first you think it’s just us adults and then Mackenzie is there looking at you with that really disappointed look.

Did you get a chance to talk to Stephenie Meyer about the history or the background of your character at all?

Guri: Stephenie and I never talked about that. Stephenie and I when we were hanging out and talking, we talked and joked about everything else. The cool thing about Stephenie is that she trusted the actors and Bill Condon to do our jobs. And our jobs as professionals is to come up with the characters, understand she wrote and bring it to life.

Well I figured that it wouldn't take long. Yesterday, I reported that there was a film version of Shay Youngblood's novel, Black Girl In Paris, currently in production, starring Tracey Heggins from Medicine for Melancholy, and British actress Zaraah Abrahams. I even posted a short video interview with Ms. Abrahams in which she confirmed that she was currently working on the film. The only problem was, as hard as we tried, we couldn't find Any information about the film, especially with regards to who was involved the behind the camera.  Well, guess what? I was contacted by the producer of the film (Kiara C. Jones) who let me know that...

Summit Entertainment’s “New Face Fridays” with the Twilight Fansites was back again this week last week, and this time we get the first member of the Romanian Coven. First we had the chance to hear from Denali Coven members Casey Labow and MyAnna Buring, then Amazon Coven members Judi Shekoni and Tracey Heggins, Egyptian Coven members Rami Malek and Angela Sarayan, Irish vampires Patrick Brennan and Marlane Barnes. Now we have Romanian vampire, Noel Fisher who plays Vladimir:

If you could create your own fan site, what would it be about? What are you really passionate about?

Oh, man, there’s a lot of stuff. I’m kind of all over the place with it. It depends on what I am currently obsessed with. Like right now I am really obsessed with a Showtime series called Homeland that I’m just totally falling for. Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead. Anything that’s fantasy is right up my alley. So anything involving that stuff would be pretty sweet. Breaking Bad is not exactly fantasy, but is another one that I’m pretty into.

Could you share some of your jokes, pranks or experiences with you and Guri [Weinberg] on the set?

The story that comes to mind a lot of the time for me, I was doing a scene where I had to — well, it’s not so much a prank because it wasn’t done on purpose, but I had a scene where I had to kind of squat down for a moment and it was right at the end of the day, and it was literally the last shot of the day and we were trying to wrap and everything. I remember they called, “Rolling!” and then, “Action!” and we started doing our stuff, and I do a squat and I just heard this big rip. I had basically ripped the back of my pants completely open, so everybody got a nice shot of my underwear. So I had to go over to the wardrobe lady and she literally sewed it back up while I was still wearing the pants in between takes. I had to run back out and get it one more time, and it ripped again. That was a good moment!

Did you and Guri try to work together to come up with the Romanian accent, or how did you guys work to make a cohesive Romanian coven?

We both sat down with Bill. That was something — I was just constantly impressed with Bill Condon because he sat down with all of the new covens and new vampires, including the Romanians, and he basically just sat us down and asked us what were we thinking? What were our thoughts on the characters? It was obviously something that we both wanted was to be able to do the accent and to do that in a way that was going to be really interesting and kind of unique. He was totally down for that and we got this dialect coach and came up with this — not a modern Romanian accent because they are so old, it had to be like an amalgamation of ancient Romanion and a lot of influence from the surrounding areas around Romania because they’d been around for so long and you add all of that into it. So we just created our own unique dialect. That was one of the really cool parts about doing the character, something that really helped me fall into the character, getting to put on that accent. I’m really glad that we got to do that.

Image Entertainment acquired USA rights to All Things Fall Apart (formerly known as Things Fall Apart), last year, the inspirational sports drama directed by Mario Van Peebles and starring Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Ray Liotta, Lynn Whitfield, and Tracey Heggins, with plans to release it in theaters in early 2012, followed by a home video release. Soon after that news, the film aired on Bet, after it screened at the Urbanworld Film Festival last fall, and was eventually shuffled on to Blu-ray/DVD earlier this year. Fiddy reportedly lost 54 pounds in preparation for his role in the movie in which he plays a...

Summit Entertainment’s “New Face Fridays” with the Twilight Fansites was back again this week last week (we’re late!), and this time we’ve got another member of the Irish Coven. First we had the chance to hear from Denali Coven members Casey Labow and MyAnna Buring, then Amazon Coven members Judi Shekoni and Tracey Heggins, and then Egyptian Coven members Rami Malek and Angela Sarayan and finally Irish vampire Patrick Brennan Now we have the next Irish vampire, Marlane Barnes who plays Maggie:

Your character Maggie knows when people are telling lies. Are you good at telling when people are lying to you in real-life?

Marlane: I like to think I’m a pretty good judge of character now. I feel like that’s one of the things that acting has done for me is you get to see when people are acting.

What was it like to see yourself in your full costume and makeup and the vampire eyes for the first time?

Marlane: It’s pretty amazing, actually. You know, cause the costume designer Michael [Wilkinson] was really open with us about like ‘Oh, do you like this? Do you like that?’ and I remember just kind of being like, ‘Oh yes, yes, yes, all of that.’ It wasn’t until later that I was like why did I agree to these high-heeled boots? You know, everything came together in this way that really I feel like gave the Irish Coven a sense of time and place, and you know the eyes do a lot of the work for you. You put those red vampire eyes in and you don’t even really have to do any acting because you just are cool. I think that was pretty awesome.

What was it like working with Patrick [Brennan] and Lisa on set?

Marlane: Oh, it was great working with Patrick and Lisa. Lisa is so much fun. She’s a Broadway musical theater actress, so she’s very jolly and we joked around a lot and sang a lot of songs, and Patrick is really just the perfect example of a gentleman giant. He’s tall, he’s sweet, and he’s softspoken. You know, he’s very heartfelt, so I couldn’t have asked for a better couple of people to spend all that time with.

Yesterday MTV showed two brand new stills from Breaking Dawn – Part 2 along with a fantastic interview with Bill Condon as part of their Fall Movie Preview. Now we have those two new stills, in gorgeous HQ. The first still of course gives us a great view of Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen, all bundled up into a turtleneck. The second still shows a scene from the movie with Amazon Coven members Zafrina (Judi Shekoni) and Senna (Tracey Heggins), Edward, Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Carlisle Cullen (Peter Facinelli), and Eleazar (Christian Camargo) and Kate (Casey Labow) from the Denali Coven. Check it all out below:

See these and all of the Breaking Dawn – Part 2 stills in our Gallery Here.

This is a great still of Edward, it’s a good look on him – almost as good as the peacoat look in Twilight! I’m anxious to see what all of these new vampires look like on-screen in Part 2, there’s so many new ones.

What do you think of the latest stills from Breaking Dawn – Part 2?...

On the Road movie reedited for Toronto screening Based on Jack Kerouac's '50s novel, Walter Salles' Otr adaptation starring Garrett Hedlund, Sam Riley, and Kristen Stewart (above photo) will be screened at the upcoming Toronto Film Festival. We all knew that. What we didn't know is that Tiff 2012 will unveil a new cut of the film (via indieWIRE), which premiered last spring at the Cannes Film Festival to mixed reviews. The 2hr20m drama has been downsized to approximately 125 minutes. That's an interesting development, as Otr has already been screened in several countries, with varying degrees of box-office success. [Check out the On the Road trailer. Check out Kristen Stewart On the Road poster; Garrett Hedlund On the Road poster.] Otr movie reedit hardly unique On the other hand, different cuts shown in different countries is hardly something new. Whether as a result of poor critical/box-office reception, (perceived) local sensibilities, and/or censorship, the movie you watch in, say, Canada isn't necessarily the exact same movie watched by someone in Singapore,...

Summit Entertainment’s “New Face Fridays” with the Twilight Fansites is back again this week this time with our first member of the Egyptian Coven. First we had the chance to hear from Denali Coven members, Casey Labow and MyAnna Buring, and then we heard from Amazon Coven members Judi Shekoni and Tracey Heggins. Now up we have Rami Malek who will be playing the lovable Benjamin from the Egyptian Coven. Read more below:

Have you gotten to see any of your scenes on film yet- and if so what you thought of the special effects?

“Great question I had an Adr* session, I’m sure you guys are familiar with that right?? (Adr stands for Automated Dialog Replacement) So I got to see some of the temporary effects they weren’t quite done but as far as I was concerned they were good enough for me- they really looked brilliant-vibrant and felt very real- I was happy to see that because there were points that I was concerned about- I’m always concerned watching a movie- when something looks as if it was developed from a computer and you can see when it looks generated by a computer it really takes one out of the film so I was happy to see that it really just looks as if I was doing these in reality”

What were some of your favorite moments during filming?- Do you want to talk about the end where they had a dancing scene?

“Yes I’m not the best dancer- so I can’t throw that one down as one of my top moments though it was fun to see Bill’s face light up when we surprised him like that- I don’t know what I’m allowed to talk about in that sense- Favorite moments I would say meeting a lot of this new cast and the old cast and establishing some great friendships. I’m going to see one of the actors right now I’m on my way driving to see one of them-i won’t tell you who it is. I’ve established some great relationships and it’s not often through work that you really hang on to people. It’s funny on a movie set people are always telling one another “I can’t wait to see you and talk to you and keep up this relationship” and I’ve had great experiences- after doing the Pacific I still hang out with all of the boys that we make believe fought a war with- And with this group- I’m not going to say I hang out with everybody but there’s a lot of phone numbers that get used in my little call log and vice versa which is nice I think I will know these people for a long time- most of them.”

For any Twi-hards anxious to see what the foreign covens will look like, this is sure to be a red-letter day — nearly two dozen new character posters for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 have just been released. The new posters feature the new-to-the-series foreign covens, as well as the well-loved Cullens and the familiar Denali coven.

From the looks of these posters, just the right balance of very beautiful and a little scary was achieved with Zafrina (Judith Shekoni) and Senna (Tracey Heggins) of the Amazon coven. Similarly, the representatives of the Romanian coven, Stefan (Guri Weinberg) and Vladmir (Noel Fisher), manage to look handsome while still retaining an air of creepiness that makes us pretty sure we'd cross the steet if they were walking towards us on the sidewalk. In addition to those happy discoveries, we also get the first good look at the members of...

A new still from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 which was originally featured in a recent issue of Entertainment Weekly has now been released in HQ by Twilight film studio Summit Entertainment, and Jack Morrissey (partner to director Bill Condon) has explained a few details about what's going on in the image. The picture shows some of the new Breaking Dawn - Part 2 vampires sitting around a campfire with the Cullens. Included in the pic (from left to right) are Amun (Omar Metwally), Kebi (Andrea Gabriel), unknown, Tanya (MyAnna Buring), Garrett (Lee Pace), Kate (Casey Labow), Vladimir (Noel Fisher), Stefan (Guri Weinberg), Carmen (Mia Maestro), Eleazar (Christian Camargo), Emmmett (Kellan Lutz), Rosalie (Nikki Reed), Esme (Elizabeth Reaser), Liam (Patrick Brennan), Siobhan (Lisa Howard), Maggie (Marlane Barnes), Zafrina (Judi Shekoni), and Senna (Tracey Heggins). ...

When I came across this image from a poster for the upcoming Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2, my first reaction, of course, was: "You mean they've got hot black women vampires in those nauseating sparkly vampire chick flicks that you couldn't pay me to see?" Who is she? Turns out she was completely unrecognizable to me, but that's Tracey Heggins from Barry Jenkins's Medicine for Melancholy. She plays the role of the vampire Senna from the Amazonian Coven, whatever that means. Well good for her. Hope she has some major scenes and not just relegated to the background.  And she's not the only sister in the film. There's also British actress...
