Kristen och Nikki i kändis dokumentär...
By now, anybody with a pulse and a bookshelf knows that the "Twilight" movie was a big hit, and that sequels "New Moon," "Eclipse" and most likely "Breaking Dawn" will be following it in the years to come. But even the biggest Twilighters might not be aware of one additional, secret "Twilight" flick that could be coming to a theater near you, courtesy of a few of the film's stars.
"My brother goes to UCLA, and he's making a documentary right now called ‘The Glorification of Celebrities'," revealed Nikki Reed when we spoke with her a little while ago, explaining a small film that will feature herself, Kristen Stewart and other young stars commenting on the newfound power and pressure bestowed on them practically overnight. "'Twilight' will play a role in it, but it is just about [exploring]: What is the definition of being a celebrity now?
Walk up to any supermarket checkout these days and you'll be inundated with tabloid headlines screaming about what RPattz is up to, who Nikki is dating, or what outrageous quote KStew supposedly let slip. But as they've gone from relative unknowns to magazine-selling celebs, Reed's brother Nathan has been chronicling the rise of the "Twilight" phenomenon with his camera.
"I think fans with be able to see this," she said of the flick, which the Reeds expect to graduate beyond the little-seen world of student films. "I am trying to be as involved as I possibly can. I think ‘Twilight' was a wonderful thing for him to use [in the film], because it escalated quite quickly. It went from being this little tiny book series that none of the actors really knew anything about to this explosion that happened somewhere around the summer [of 2008]; I started walking outside and people started yelling ‘Rosalie!'"
"My brother has been following that," she explained. "And it's great because I know Kristen [Stewart] and he gets to speak with her. And he has a reason to travel with me now."
A fortunate side-effect from the experience, Reed explained, was that it has brought the two siblings closer together. "We realize now, as we get older, that he really didn't understand me and I didn't understand him," she explained. "I moved out when I was fourteen, and it's a long story - but he is doing wonderful things with his life."
"He has been interviewing a lot of fans as well," she said of "Glorification," which will focus not only on "Twilight" stars, but also on what fame does to other overnight sensations in Hollywood. "There is a Nikki Reed's Mafia group [that will be in the doc] - and if you guys are watching, thanks. Because they show up everywhere with signs."
Is there an audience out there for Nikki's brother's film? Would you guys pay money to see "The Glorification of Celebrities" in theaters and/or buy a DVD? Something tells me you would!
Alla som vill se den räcker upp en hand :)
