Two Movies For Twilight: Breaking Dawn?

Rumour has it that movie bosses are planning to begin filming on the fourth and final installment of the Twilight franchise later this year. But whether the book will be split into two movies is unclear.

Producer Wyck Godfrey told the Los Angeles Times: "It's a work in process. The issue is not going to be resolved until we get the full treatment and see whether it's organic.

"If it's not organic, I don't think it will be done, and if it is, it will be. It really has to do with how much level of detail from the books there is, with all of these new vampires that appear in Breaking Dawn, the whole section about Jacob... It's a very long single movie if it does become a single movie."

Writing on her official website, Twilight author Stephenie Meyer commented: "My personal feeling is that it would be very difficult to cram the whole story into one movie (as I've said in many interviews previous to this), but if a great way of doing that surfaces, I'm all for it. Two or one, whichever way fits the story best is fine by me, and everyone I've spoken with at Summit seems to feel the same way."

She added: "We're all excited to move forward on this, and we are slowly and surely getting there."

The GG♥SF can't get enough of Twilight, so we're happy to see the franchise run as long as possible - but what do you think?

True Blood Season 2 Return Confirmed

Good news for True Blood fans. GG♥SF fave dirty vampire drama is set to return to UK screens on FX on Fri 26 Feb at 10pm.

The second season will see the stakes raised in Bon Temps when a Christian mission attempts to wipe out the vampire race.

Hmm... with show star Rutina Wesley (Tara) suggesting that the show could run for "six seasons or more", we doubt the haters will succeed.

Rutina told SciFiNow: "People seem to think that True Blood is going to be one of those shows that will run for five or six seasons if not more."

She added: "It's going to depend on audience ratings and stuff like that, but I can't imagine it not running for a long time because the books are just so juicy and Alan Ball has also made everything so vibrant, colourful and imaginative.

"I think it's going to be a show that people are going to be dying to watch for a long time."

Is Heroes Here To Stay?

We confess, we were certain that the axe was set to swing after Heroes' fourth season, but apparently the series may be given another chance.

After months of speculation, US network NBC has described the chances of the show returning for a fifth season as "very good".

Speaking at the TV Critics Association press tour, the network's president Angela Bromstad revealed that the show's creator Tim Kring will be pitching his ideas for a new season in the coming weeks and she believes it stands a decent chance of coming back.

Hmm... it all sounds very non-committal to GG♥SF. We'll believe it when we see it.

Facinelli Talks Twilight: Eclipse

With all the Team Edward / Team Jacob fuss, a few easy-on-the eye cast members of the Twilight franchise are often overlooked.

In our humble opinion, Peter Facinelli, aka the gentle and adorable vampire daddy Carlisle Cullen, is one of those who are woefully short on screen time.

Thankfully, the actor says that we're set to see Carlisle come into his own in Eclipse.

"What I love about the third movie is that you get to see a side of Carlisle you haven't seen before and what his vampire capabilities really are," Peter revealed at a recent press conference. "There are some really great battle sequences. It's my favorite book."

The actor went on to explain his approach when it comes to his character: "Because Carlisle has been around for so long, I think that he's very well educated and what I love about him is he has a real love for humanity. I'm playing a vampire who is trying to be human.

"When you look at something like Twilight, the good vampires aren't necessarily good, they're just eccentric. The bad vampires are just doing what they're born to do and made to do. It's kind of like domesticating a lion. For me, Carlisle is just holding on to that humanity. He doesn't want to be a vampire."

Strength, speed and supernatural good looks? We'd swap places with him anytime.

Tovey For Torchwood?

We all loved Russell Tovey's innuendo-heavy cameo in David Tennant's final episode of Doctor Who, but Torchwood star John Barrowman has hinted that the wink-wink, nudge-nudge moment could mean bigger things for Midshipman Alonso Frame.

The actor reckons Alonso could be "the perfect companion" for Captain Jack. Ooh-er.

"What I'd love, what I think would be great, is if Midshipman Frame became Jack's companion in Torchwood," John told Doctor Who magazine. "It'd be like Batman and Robin. Of course I'm Batman. He's Robin."

Yeah, sure you are John.

The pair also got a bit gushy, insisting they have great chemistry.

"You don't have to think about it much," said John. "I can tell that Russell is probably flirtatious in real life."

Russell added: "It's in the writing as well, isn't it? The dialogue between us is only four lines, but you know that Captain Jack and Midshipman Frame are flirting outrageously."

Oh, get a room you two.

Five Resolutions For 2010

Join a gym; stop biting nails; stop spending, start saving; actually read one of the classic novels we claim to be an expert on; and write a journal are all former failed New Year's resolutions of the Geeky Girls.

But this year is going to be different. This year, we're coming up with a list of resolutions we actually want to keep. And we reckon you might be up for keeping a couple of them too.

1. Get a new Doctor...
New Doctor Who Matt Smith made his debut in the Tardis on New Year's day, but opinion on whether the nation will take him to our bosom in the same way we did David Tennant is still divided. In our humble opinion, the time is right for a new doc.

His unfortunate catchphrase ("geronimooo") aside, we were mightily impressed by Matt's first few minutes on screen. He's energetic, funny and just the right side of weird. Bring on Doctor Who series 5 (BBC1: Spring).

2. Pick a side...
The never-ending Twi-hard dilemma has long been discussed at GG HQ, but we reckon it's time we decided which way we swing.

So which will it be? Team Edward or Team Jacob?

Edward might have had us from "trust me", but never did a lady have a fictional suitor so devoted as Jacob Black. All in all, it's a nice choice to have. Smouldering, romantic, gentleman vampire versus hot, funny and spontaneous werewolf.

Oh who are we kidding? We're never going to be able to make this choice, but perhaps Eclipse (coming to a cinema near you in July) will help us to make up our minds. After the Edward-centric Twilight and the Jacob-focussed New Moon, this film should be a fair fight.

3. Find the strength to carry on...
As ladies, we reserve the right to be flighty on occasion and change our minds whenever the fancy takes us. But sometimes, it's character building to stick with something until the bitter end.

And 2010 could mark the beginning of the end for sci-fi fan favourite Heroes, a show which started with so much promise but sadly recently declined into a garbled jumble of gobbledegook made tolerable only by Zachary Quinto's compelling performance as super-powered psycho, Sylar.

Industry insiders reckon the show's fifth 'chapter' Redemption (BBC2: Sat 9 Jan, 10pm) will be it's finale, saying: "Everyone is expecting this to be the last season. The cast, the crew, everyone." So we're crossing our fingers and hoping desperately that the series will return to its former glory and go out with a big bang.

4. Get Lost...
Lost is another show that the Geeky Girls have had a bittersweet relationship with. But this year, as the show reaches it's (presumably epic) conclusion, we're determined to get it.

Who is Jacob? What is the island? Is Locke the second coming? Will Kate choose Jack or Sawyer?

Mark our words sci fi fans, there will be no big question marks hanging over our heads by the time season 6 (Sky1: Feb) is done. Even if we have to threaten Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse with actual bodily harm.

Oh yeah, we mean it.

5. Jump on the vamp-wagon...
Ok, as Buffy experts, True Blood aficionados and near-obsessive Twi-hards it's not like the vampire phenomenon is new to us. But since Twilight took over the world 2010 is set to be a vintage year for vamp-fans.

Described as a cross between Blade and 28 Days Later, vampire thriller Daybreakers starring Willem Dafoe and Ethan Hawke has achieved impressive reviews for its new take on an ancient story.

On the small screen, huge US hit The Vampire Diaries comes to the UK at the end of this month (ITV2: Sun 24 Jan, 9pm). A sexy cast (Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley and Lost alumni Ian Somerhalder) and a Twilight-alike plotline mean we'll definitely be tuning in.

And last, but certainly not least, we're pleased to have the Beeb's excellent Being Human back on our screens (BBC3: Sun 10 Jan, 9.30pm). We're not cheating, there's a vampire in it, and the delicious Aidan Turner has promised that series two will be darker as the threesome try to make their way in the human world.

Twilight: Eclipse Script Leaked!

The Geeky Girls have been silent over Christmas and New Year due to fabulous festivities and far too much mulled wine, but we're back with some exciting Twilight news to kick off 2010!

Jackson Rathbone's copy of the Twilight Saga: Eclipse script has apparently been leaked online! Eek!

According to Deadline Hollywood, the document is an early version of the script and not the final shooting draft director David Slade is working from.

Summit Entertainment have said the leak is a bunch of hooey. A spokesman told MTV news yesterday: "There is absolutely no merit to this claim. We noticed it over the holiday on multiple message boards and sites, and it appears that some of this was spam."

Spam it may be, but that didn't stop us from downloading immediately and devouring from start to finish.

Fellow Twi-hards who want a sneak peek can get it here.
