Casting Breaking Dawn Updates

‘Breaking Dawn’ Adds Egyptian Vampire Benjamin to Cast

By: Erik Davis on September 1, 2010 at 2:22PM (originally posted on Fandango, here)

During their Emmy Awards party, Entertainment Tonight let loose that Rami Malek (he played Ankmenrah In both Night at the Museum films) has joined the cast of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn as the vampire Benjamin, who’s part of an Egyptian coven that assist the Cullens by acting as witnesses for them during a key part in the movie. Malek will most likely be joined by several other vampires who still need to be cast, including more Egyptians, Romanians, Irish, Amazonians and nomads.

What do you think about the casting, and which new character are you looking forward to seeing on screen for the first time?

Ed says...Honestly i'm excited about this casting. I never really pictured him as a character, and i've always been happy with the choices. Since I actually watched the movie before reading any of the books, I had those people in my head as the characters. So I know he did an amazing job in the second Night at the Museum I'm sure he'll be up to the task to being in Breaking Dawn.

The Paparazzi Reform Initiative

Mission Statement

The restoration of an individual's right to privacy in ou

r rapidly advancing technological age through education, legal action, lobbying and other effective methods.

The PAPARAZZI Reform Initiative was founded in February, 2009, to educate the public on the paparazzi industry, push for new stronger privacy laws and effect reform that restores order to our streets and privacy not only for those in the spotlight, but for everyone.

The intent for this website is to act as a clearinghouse for information regarding the paparazzi: news stories, video, commentary, comments from readers, an overview of the industry and our progress toward reform.

Ultimately, this Initiative* is part of a much larger issue confronting all Americans in this ever increasing digital age: personal privacy. Though this site specifically details the situation facing those with fame and the paparazzi that pursue them, the issues are the same for everyone. Does a coworker have the right to put your photo on the internet without your permission? Could they sell your photo to a marketing company in Russia to use in an advertisement without your knowledge or consent? New digital technology emerges constantly and the laws in this area are undefined. In the end, we believe all individuals, famous or not, have the right to personal privacy while engaged in non-newsworthy events.

Causing the needed change to this industry and in the broader sphere of personal privacy rights requires like-minded people and groups banding together for a common beneficial purpose. It requires all media to agree to a new CODE OF ETHICS regarding the use of paparazzi-generated photographs. It requires brilliant lawyers finding effective ways to enforce reform. Ultimately, it requires everyone getting educated on the problem and TAKING ACTION. We at The PAPARAZZI Reform Initiative invite your ideas and help to make reform a reality.

Though this is really a blog about recommendations for fan fiction, i do post about some other things relating to Twilight and such. This is something I learned about at The Cullen Boys Anonymous (link to their blog about this issue), and it was something that I felt was worth taking some time to repost and say something. This is the exact reason I think being famous wouldn't be so great, I love my privacy and the fact that they don't get theirs is sad. I think this is something that we can all help and work towards. Seriously, they are famous for making movies that we enjoy, the least we could do to thank them is to help get paparazzi off their backs.
