Twilight star Xavier Samuel claims he doesn’t “tailor his appearance” to look like the British hunk Robert Pattinson.

Xavier, 26, was pictured at the Flickerfest short film festival at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia.

He was there to promote his new drama Drowning – and he won over one fan, model Lara Bingle, who was in the packed audience.

Speaking before the event, the Aussie actor, who appears in the third Twilight film, Eclipse, said it was a compliment to be compared to Robert Pattinson, described as a “good-looking guy”.

But he added: “I don’t really, like, tailor my appearance to look like him. • Read full story…

Rising Aussie star Xavier Samuel has been learning to fight like a vampire on the set of Eclipse.

The third movie in the Twilight Saga, which is due out in the middle of the year, is set to make Samuel a big name.

But the 26-year-old actor hasn’t forgotten his roots, signing on as a judge for the Optus 180 Project – a competition that gives aspiring TV makers a chance to bring their show idea to the small screen.

Two years ago Samuel starred in a pilot called Dream Life, which won the competition and was produced as a drama for MTV Australia. • Read full story…

FANS have had their first bite at the third instalment of the Twilight saga, with a leaked copy of the script circulating the internet.

And according to the screenplay for Eclipse, Aussie actor Xavier Samuel wastes no time making his mark.

Appearing in the opening scene, his character is dramatically turned into a vampire.

Although it’s the second such leak for the cult series, studio reps are unfazed by the development, claiming the script, belonging to cast member Jackson Rathbone, was only an early draft.

Given that the movie is based on Stephanie Meyer’s best-selling book, we’re sure plot spoilers aren’t exactly an issue.

Eclipse opens in June.

Before joining the cast of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, Xavier Samuel was certainly no stranger to the film world, and he’d completed a handful of other films – including one (The Loved Ones) which debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival this September.

According to a recent feature in his local newspaper, though, his Twilight-related celebrity status has thrown him for a bit of a loop.

“I wasn’t used to that sort of attention, so I just took it in my stride, I guess,” he told Adelaide Now. “I think Robert [Pattinson] and Kristen [Stewart] do a really good job in dealing with fans. They seem to handle it really well, so if I can take a leaf out of their book I should be OK.” Good rule of thumb? • Read full story…

DRESSED in jeans and scuffed boots and climbing out of a beaten-up Ford Falcon, Xavier Samuel looked like any other young bloke when he turned up for his city hair appointment on Thursday.

That was only because the hordes of teenage girls who have been following his every move on the internet for the past few months were nowhere to be seen – they didn’t even know he was in town.

International paparazzi have hounded the former Adelaide drama student since he landed a role in the third Twilight movie, Eclipse, which completed filming in Canada two months ago. • Read full story…

Summit Entertainment has announced The Twilight Saga: Eclipse will be released in both conventional theaters and in IMAX on June 30, 2010. While the film was shot with regular cameras, IMAX is going to digitally re-master the movie with their proprietary IMAX DMR (Digital Re-mastering) technology so it can be shown in IMAX theaters.

With the huge money The Twilight Saga has been making at theaters, it’s no surprise everyone wants it in IMAX. This way, theater owners can charge more for tickets and everyone involved can make more money. It’s just unfortunate that they didn’t film any of the movie using IMAX cameras. Of course, with The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn still to be shot, perhaps the final chapter will be a real IMAX release. • Read full story…

’Twilight’ star Xavier Samuel got one of his big breaks after appearing in the 2008 winning OPTUS ONE80PROJECT flick, ’Dream Life’.

And now the thespian – who has recently gone on to bag a starring role as Riley in the ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’ – has returned the favour.

The actor will be one of the judges deciphering 2010’s winning film.

Xavier said: “The OPTUS ONE80PROJECT is a wonderful initiative that encourages and nurtures emerging filmmakers. I was part of the ‘Dream Life’ cast in 2008 so I’m thrilled and honoured to continue my association with the project this year on the judging panel, alongside some stellar industry figures. • Read full story…

Aussie actor Xavier Samuel–who joins the cast of The Twilight Saga as the vampire Riley in Eclipse–stopped by the Teen Vogue offices this week. We quickly learned a few things about him: he’s got an awesome taste in music, he knows his menswear (he used to sell shirts at a store called Herringbone in Sydney), and he just bought a ‘92 Chrysler Fifth Avenue with red plush interior. Want to know more? Keep reading and be sure to check out our exclusive video after the jump.

How was filming Eclipse?
Playing Riley was cool–I get to boss around a bunch of newborn vampires. I had a really good time hanging out with everyone in Vancouver. I play the guitar, so Jackson [Rathbone] and I had a few jams together–Rob plays as well, he’s really good. It’s kind of awesome when you go to the other side of the world and find a bunch of people who are all into music and like the same bands as you.

What kind of stuff have you been listening to lately?
I’m really into this new African band called The Very Best. There’s this amazing track on their album, The Warm Heart of Africa, called “Chikondi.” It’s got that kind of magnetic feel to it–like Sun Kil Moon or Bon Iver.

Are you hooked on any TV shows these days?
Bryce [Dallas Howard] actually got me a DVD set of Lost which I really want to get into. I don’t really watch that much these days, but I’ll admit I used to watch Dawson’s Creek and The O.C. growing up in Australia. Yes, we do get American TV there–though people think Australians have like one public phone and all ride kangaroos to work. • Read full story…
