Jessica Bendinger Brings It On

by Rebecca Pahle

Jessica Bendinger is expanding her horizons. She made it big in the film industry by writing the screenplay for the successful teen cheerleading comedy Bring It On. Since then, she’s written the screenplays for First Daughter, Aquamarine, and Stick It, the last of which she also directed. Now she can add “novelist” to her resume; her teen novel The Seven Rays comes out on November 24.

Bendinger took the time to chat with MovieMaker about the difference between writing a screenplay and a novel, her plans for the movie adaptation of The Seven Rays, and her “Script-a-Scene” contest, where participants will adapt a scene from The Seven Rays. [Read more →]

Twilight Watch: A Conversation With Kellan Lutz

October 30, 2009, 11:25 AM

klutz.jpgIt’s getting closer and closer to the release of Twilight: New Moon, and VF.com is eager to keep you abreast of all things vampire for the next few weeks. After interviewing Peter Facinelli (who plays Dr. Carlisle Cullen), I recently spoke to another member of the Cullen coven, Kellan Lutz (Emmett Cullen), while he was on the set of the next film in the saga, Eclipse, in Vancouver. As he was preparing to shoot a climatic Cullen-family-get-together, he discussed the cast’s love of reading, what’ll make it on the blooper reel, and his part in the upcoming remake of horror classic A Nightmare on Elm Street.

You’re currently on a break. What do you usually love to do on your downtime?

I love to read. I have a Kindle, and it’s nice to be able to download books that people refer. Rob[ert Pattinson] reads all of the time and he refers so many great books, Jackson [Rathbone], as well, and Kristen [Stewart]. It’s nice to just download books because we have so much downtime. I have close to eight hours a day to read. I finish so many books it’s amazing. I’m also doing Rosetta Stone, learning some French.

What books are you reading?

Right now, Letters from the Earth by Mark Twain. Also Jessica Bendinger, I did a movie with her called Stick It—she’s the director—and she wrote her first novel, The Seven Rays. I have an advanced copy and it’s amazing. [Read more →]

An Afternoon with Damon Lindelof of Lost!

November 3rd, 2009 by Cam Siemer
Respond

I love this job.

Last Wednesday, at Golden Apple Comics, there was a Q & A and signing with Damon Lindelof, co-creator of the televisual masterpiece that is Lost and friend to the one and only Jessica Bendinger. He discussed the recent release of his graphic novel Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk (which is fantastic, by the way) and addressed working on the final season of Lost.  Fellow B Liz and I showed up to provide our support and present Damon with a super secret copy of THE SEVEN RAYS.

Damon
Given my Lost-aholic tendencies (heck, I went as Daniel Faraday for Halloween), and the fact that comic books were essentially my surrogate parents, I couldn’t help but geek out. Who would have guessed that my job would have led to the meeting of one of my greatest creative influences? Coincidence? …or Fate? Never underestimate the power of The Seven Rays

Stay tuned for an upcoming video blog on the event and more!

One month to go!

October 28th, 2009 by Jessica Bendinger
Respond

Happy Wednesday.

You are more than you think you are.

It’s hard to believe that I first wrote that sentence for my first novel, The Seven Rays, and it’s actually coming in one month. In honor of that occasion, I decided to post my first blog.

Simon & Schuster is publishing it on 11/24/2009. Although I’ve dreamed of my first book tour, and even planned some cute outfits, I never got the memo about book tours: they really don’t exist anymore. Gasp! Unless you’re Dan Brown or Stephenie Meyer, book tours and book marketing dollars are a thing of the past. [Read more →]
