Tournament of the Wolves: Taylor Lautner Battles Against Anna Paquin
FearNet’s Tournament of the Werewolves continues through this week with some interesting results.
“The Twilight Saga’s” Jacob Black beat “Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s” Oz in the Teen Wolf category 59 percent to 41 percent, while Anna Paquin’s Laurie made it into the final four thanks to her she-wolf from “Trick ‘R’ Treat.” Those two will face off Wednesday as the final four is narrowed down to the final two.
Considering the passionate and devoted Joss Whedon fan community, we’re a bit surprised Taylor Lautner beat out Seth Green as a teen wolf. It seems as though the times are indeed a-changing and as we enter a new decade it’s easy to have Jacob Black’s beautiful abs more clearly imprinted on our minds than the now 10-year-old werewolf from “Buffy.”
Anna Paquin didnt have it so easy with the narrowest win margin among the final four, only beating Ginger from “Ginger Snaps” 54 percent to 46 percent. Now we’re back to the time difference, as “Ginger Snaps” was a huge cult hit from 2000, while “Trick ‘R’ Treat” was much beloved after it finally made its way to DVD this past year. Add to that the fact Anna is in the prime of her career thanks to “True Blood,” and you’ve got yourself a winner.
Rounding out the final four are David Kessler from “An American Werewolf in London” and Captain Ryan from “Dog Soldiers” — an American versus a foreign classic.
Both face-offs seem like a bit of a toss-up to us, so share your thoughts below (and vote at FearNet’s site) on who you would vote for and who you think is the most terrifying werewolf of all time.

Rob Making ‘Remember Me’ Appearances
Gossip Cop can confirm that Robert Pattinson will appear on “Late Night withJimmy Fallon” on March 1 – the same day that Fallon celebrates his first year anniversary as host of “Late Night.”
Following his appearance, Pattinson will then head to the premiere of Remember Me, his film with Emilie de Ravin.
Fallon, of course, has had some fun at Pattinson’s expense in the past, showing videos of a “bothered” “Pattinson” (played by Fallon), airing grievances from a tree. (VIDEO BELOW)
Yesterday Gossip Cop reported that Pattinson and de Ravin will be appearing together on “The View” on March 2.

Robert Pattinson Makes His “View” Debut
February 01, 2010 | Posted at 6:30 AMThat’s right, the Twilight heartthrob will make his very first appearance on The View on March 2nd! Robert, dubbed as one of Peoplemagazine’s “Sexiest Men Alive,” will appear along with Emilie De Ravin, his co-star in the upcoming film Remember Me. (Emilie’s also back for the final season of Lost as Claire, so maybe she’ll have something to say about that too.)
Of course you know Robert as sultry, brooding vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight saga. Robert (aka “RPattz”) is a 23-year-old English actor, singer/musician, and model who was first introduced to movie audiences as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Later, his starring role in Twilight catapulted him to instant stardom. The highly anticipated third installment, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse will be released later this year. Robert, who composes his own music, sings two of the songs on the Twilight soundtrack: “Never Think” and “Let Me Sign.”
Got any questions for Robert? Tell us here!

Pierce Brosnan Discusses Rob and ‘Remember Me’
To shift gears a bit, speaking of media-centric figures, you’re in Remember Mewith Robert Pattinson, which must have been totally bizarre to try and film in New York City.PB: [laughs] It was. Well, I’ve seen it. I’ve never encountered such attention in my career. I mean, I certainly had it but on a day-to-day basis, this young man certainly acquitted himself very well. And I think he was just completely blindsided by everything. And here he was doing a drama, which he’s executive producer on, and he had a heavy workload every day, and it’s a hard one to be wrenched out of every time you step out of our trailer.
Especially in New York.
PB: And there’s nowhere to hide. There’s nowhere to run. You know, you’re damned if you do, and you’re damned if you don’t… You have to go to emotional places where you really need to [put your] head down and [look] straight ahead… It’s a very dramatic movie, and it’s a beautiful movie. It’s a love story. I play his father. What can I say about it? I’m very proud of that.
And, of course, you’ve also got Percy Jackson coming up. It’s great how you go between these very different roles.
PB: Well, I don’t know. I was taught and trained and was told and learned to believe that I could do anything so I’m endeavoring to do that, having done the same thing most of my life, and I’m finally becoming a character actor, I hope. Going back to what I did in my early days before I became whatever I became. I don’t know. It’s just lovely right now to have the freedom to do anything, and I’ve said to my agent, I said, “Find the most interesting roles.” I said, “They don’t have to be leading roles, I don’t need that. My ego is quite happy. Just the best, most interesting work that will captivate me and keep me alive and [keep my] career going.” You want to be able to have as many colors on the palate as possible, and some will be purer than others, but Percy Jackson was a great joy [and] to be reunited with Chris Columbus, who I’d worked with on Mrs. Doubtfire all those years ago, was magnificent. A real joy.Sounds like it could give Harry Potter a run for his money.
PB: Yeah, I think so. I mean, it’s darker than Potter, and it’s scary, but I saw it with my wife and children. They put a private viewing on for us at Fox the other day, and it really is a beautiful film. And Logan Lerman and Alexandra [Daddario] and Brandon [Jackson] – you know, off to the races with being movie stars! They’re all three of them are fantastic.

Emilie De Ravin Discusses ‘Remember Me’
Australian actress Emilie de Ravin has moved from the small screen to the big screen in the upcoming romantic dramaRemember Me (out March 12).
In the movie, de Ravin (Claire on the TV smash hitLost) plays Ally who becomes the object of affection of one brooding young man named Tyler, played by super hunk Robert Pattinson. Tyler has a strained relationship with his father a (Pierce Brosnan) due to a family tragedy and didn’t think anyone could pull him out of his funk until, he met Ally (Emilie de Ravin) through an unusual twist of fate. Love was the last thing on his mind, but as her spirit unexpectedly heals and inspires him, he begins to fall for her. Through their love, he begins to find happiness but soon, hidden secrets are revealed, and the circumstances that brought them together slowly threaten to tear them apart.De Ravin recently spoke to Tribute’s Toni-Marie Ippolito to discuss filming Remember Me, how hard it was to concentrate with the paparazzi on set, what Robert Pattinson is really like to work with and, of course, her feelings on the final season of the hit seriesLost, which made her a household name.
Congratulations on this film. It looks fantastic. So, what did you think first think about this love story?
DE RAVIN: I fell in love as soon as I read it. It’s one of those few and far between scripts that you read that you’re like, “This is just something that I would just kill to be a part of.”I understand there were about 180 women that were up for the part and then you got it! How does that feel for you as an actor?
DE RAVIN: It’s pretty amazing. Also, they were going in a lot of different directions with the look for Ally to start with and sort of ended up, I think, the furthest from where they started [Laughs]. I’m happy though.What was your reaction when you found out that Pierce Brosnan, a.k.a James Bond, and Robert Pattinson were going to be a part of this film?
DE RAVIN: That was, you know, even better. We’ve got a really talented cast. Pierce is playing Rob’s dad. I’ve got Chris Cooper playing my father. Lena Olin is amazing and we’ve got a wonderful little 11-year-old girl, Ruby, who’s playing Rob’s sister who’s just a sweetheart and really talented. Everyone sort of ended up working together really well too, which is, you know, difficult—especially when you’re dealing with family units.It looks like it’s a really intense, emotional story. Can you tell me a little bit about it?
DE RAVIN: The premise for the movie is really a romantic tragedy. My character and Rob’s character both have dealt with tragedy in our family and our past and we sort of meet unexpectedly, fall in love unexpectedly and then sort of the way the circumstances that we meet basically threaten to tear us apart. It’s really about just treasuring and appreciating every moment you have with loved ones and family because you can never go back.What do you think it is about romantic tragedies that we just love so much? They’re heart wrenching!
DE RAVIN: They are heart wrenching! And for this film specifically I think it’s just the reality of this story that people can (relate to), whether they’ve been through something tragic in their life. It’s not dealt with in a fluffy movie way, which I think a lot of stories are. It’s really gritty, it’s very honest and you know, especially the relationship with Tyler and Ally. You can be, “Yeah, I’ve been like that in my relationship before. That’s kind of how it is.” None of that sort of perfect “first this and first that.” It’s all just down to earth and real.
It’s real life stuff. Tyler’s character’s got some stuff going on, but so does Ally with her dad. Could you relate at all to this character?
DE RAVIN: Yeah. I mean, not in a specific writing sense or not in a specific circumstance of what happened to Ally. But yeah, I think I always draw from life experience when it makes sense. So there’s always little things that you can find to incorporate, I think, from your life, whether it be the exact circumstance or something similar that maybe brought up a similar emotion in you.While you were filming, there seemed to be a lot of paparazzi around because of Robert’s fame from Twilight. How did you guys deal with that?
DE RAVIN: Um, yeah, you know, it took a little getting used to. We really shot the majority of the film on location, you know, in and around Manhattan so there’s just people everywhere anyway. It got a little hectic at times!It must have been a bit distracting.
DE RAVIN: The first day I was sort of like, “Oh my God. How am I going to focus?” And you know there were times that we were rehearsing and you can’t even sort of think about what you’re doing. You feel all these eyes on you and you become very suddenly self-conscious about what’s going on as opposed to being in your own little world of the character.What’s it like working with Robert Pattinson?
DE RAVIN: He’s such a nice, genuine, great guy as a person. And you know that’s always nice when you’re working with someone you get along with. [He's] very giving. We sort of worked on stuff a lot together and we’d talk about things and really developed our characters together as much as we could. And that’s a real give and take thing if you’ve got one person not wanting to do that and one that does—it sort of creates a bit of conflict. But we were both sort of on the same page with everything, which was great.Being on the same page, did that help with your chemistry? How do you know things would work out well with the both of you?
DE RAVIN: Yeah, well you know, I guess you don’t really a lot of the time, do you? I tested for this with Rob so I guess they see whether your interpretation of the character and his interpretation are going to go together. But then there’s also that you can change it up a bit too to make it work better or bring it back. It’s an interesting question because it is something that I think comes more from really just getting along with that person and liking that person as opposed to sort of someone who really annoys you.Are there any memorable scenes that really stick out for you in this movie?
DE RAVIN: That I can talk about without giving away anything? [Laughs]. There’s a lot. I had a wonderful time. We had a lot of fun. There was one scene that I was really excited about doing with Chris (Cooper) who plays my Dad. We have a big fight and that was just such a sort of emotionally challenging, interesting theme because it was sort of one of those things that —we’re very evenly matched as our characters as father and daughter—it’s not sort of one undermines the other. So that was a lot of fun to play with. And, you know, Rob and I had a lot of fun playing together. We had a really fun sort of water fight scene. Just getting to do something like that that’s so sort of playful and fun.
Let’s talk about Lost. Are you excited about the last season?
DE RAVIN: I’m really excited! We’re sort of halfway through shooting, and you know, the show’s always been a lot of fun and it’s sort of just elevated that little bit much more this season, being the last season. Everyone’s sort of excited to see what happens and excited for it to come to a conclusion, but at the same time sort of sad it’s over. But it’s kind of a perfect amount of time, I think, for this show. You want to finish something when it’s good. You don’t want to be the last one at the party! [Laughs]But everyone’s dying to know about Claire. What can we expect?
DE RAVIN: It’s really a fun new side of Claire that I get to explore this season. She comes back in sort of a very unexpected way, shall we say, which is really fun for me to play and she mixes it up.Was it good being back in Hawaii?
DE RAVIN: Yeah, it’s great. You know, because I was on a holding deal for season five, which actually, in a way, made me even more excited to come back because I had sort of a year and a half off that I was lucky enough to work on a bunch of other great projects. I always love to do something different and new and be challenged by different characters. But after that time it was great to come back.Well, the more confusing the show gets, the more addictive it is.
DE RAVIN: Yeah, it’s kind of true! [Laughs]
