By now, anybody with a pulse and a bookshelf knows that the âTwilightâ movie was a big hit, and that sequels âNew Moon,â âEclipseâ and most likely âBreaking Dawnâ will be following it in the years to come. But even the biggest Twilighters might not be aware of one additional, secret âTwilightâ flick that could be coming to a theater near you, courtesy of a few of the filmâs stars.
âMy brother goes to UCLA, and heâs making a documentary right now called âThe Glorification of Celebritiesâ,â 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. ââTwilightâ 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 youâll 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 theyâve gone from relative unknowns to magazine-selling celebs, Reedâs brother Nathan has been chronicling the rise of the âTwilightâ phenomenon with his camera.
âI think fans with be able to see this,â she said of the flick, which the Reeds expect to graduate beyond the little-seen world of student films. âI am trying to be as involved as I possibly can. I think âTwilightâ 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 âRosalie!ââ
âMy brother has been following that,â she explained. âAnd itâs great because I know Kristen [Stewart] and he gets to speak with her. And he has a reason to travel with me now.â
A fortunate side-effect from the experience, Reed explained, was that it has brought the two siblings closer together. âWe realize now, as we get older, that he really didnât understand me and I didnât understand him,â she explained. âI moved out when I was fourteen, and itâs a long story - but he is doing wonderful things with his life.â
âHe has been interviewing a lot of fans as well,â she said of âGlorification,â which will focus not only on âTwilightâ stars, but also on what fame does to other overnight sensations in Hollywood. âThere is a Nikki Reedâs Mafia group [that will be in the doc] - and if you guys are watching, thanks. Because they show up everywhere with signs.â
Is there an audience out there for Nikkiâs brotherâs film? Would you guys pay money to see âThe Glorification of Celebritiesâ in theaters and/or buy a DVD? Something tells me you would!
