Hollywood Reporter:

Keri Russell, JJ Feild and Bret McKenzie will star in Austenland, an indie romantic comedy that is serving as the directorial debut of Jerusha Hess, who co-wrote Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre with her husband, helmer Jared Hess.

In a twist, the movie is also serving as the producing debut of Stephenie Meyer, author of the best-selling vampire books The Twilight Saga.

What is it about vampires that we find so compelling and fascinating? They're scary, but also charming, sexy, and sophisticated when not playing into the cliché of dramatic capes and slicked-back coifs.

John Mesjak: "The Market Is Even Bigger Than We Thought." Maybe.

A shiny new Kindle or iPad or Kobo or Nook won't convert a non-book buyer into a rabid book buyer. It might give us some incremental growth. But not revolutionary growth. The market isn't bigger than we thought. It's exactly the size we were afraid it might be.

Austenland is a book by Shannon Hale, if anyone is wondering.

This is a lousy writer. What a crime to give this no-talent any further chances to ruin literature.

I was really hoping that she would have been the one writing the screenplays for the Twilight movies and I think if I was ever to meet her that would be my only question as to why she didn't. As anyone who has read anything I've written knows, I love film and it tantalizes me when I'm captured and seduced by a film. Due to that joy of film and intriguing dramas I require a service that provides me with the necessary options for my needs. It was a bit shocking that Direct TV requires an online rebate application to get new customer promotions which take 6-8 weeks. There are no extras for the basic package if that is all I can afford. Meaning no free HD for life, or an upgrade to a DVR should I need one or premium movie channels once I'm a customer as I found with Dish Network once a customer. This is not an option due what I’m looking for. I ended up changing jobs and started working for Dish Network, I’m still traveling a lot but I have what I need now. I am clear that whatever makes it easiest to work and enjoy my own hobby is what is necessary. I'm anxious as I said before to see Meyer in a new area to see how far her creative talents reach, let's hope she's multi-talented. http://www.besttvforme.com/
