The stars of Twilight Saga: New Moon showed up to a special event in Hollywood last night, and predictably they were hit with the banshee wail of a thousand screaming teenage girls. As you can see after the jump, it’s terrifying, like an icy wind from the realm of loneliness and conformity that chills the blood and smells of cat fur. But it wasn’t all bad, as the AP soon misidentified a guy at the podium as Cam Gigandet. Haha, you idiots, that’s Kellen Lutz. Oh God why do I know that I hate my job.
(So. This where the high school chicks hang out?)
I’ve identified two kisses of death for prospective movies - Cam Gigandet and Screen Gems - and this project has both of them. Plus vampires.
Cam Gigandet will star opposite Paul Bettany in “Priest,” a horror Western that Scott Stewart is directing for Screen Gems. Adapted by Cory Goodman from a TokyoPop comic book, “Priest” is set in a world ravaged by centuries of war between man and vampires and follows a warrior priest (Bettany) who turns against the church to track down a murderous band of vampires who have kidnapped his niece. Gigandet plays a young wasteland sheriff who is part vampire. He partners with Bettany to save the girl he loves, the niece. That latter part has yet to be cast.
Let’s review:
Whoever thought this was a good idea must’ve been reading Bizarro FilmDrunk. Oh, but wait, we haven’t gotten to my favorite paragraph:
Gigandet, repped by WME Entertainment, is filming Screen Gems’ thriller “The Roommate” with Leighton Meester and Minka Kelly. The actor is coming off of winning an MTV Movie Award for best fight, awarded for his work in “Twilight.” Gigandet won the award the previous year for “Never Back Down,” making him the only actor to win it in back-to-back years. [THR]
Damn, two “Best Fight” awards in a row? Cam Gigandet makes Sir Lawrence Olivier look like a peepshow janitor.
Cam Gigandet (which is apparently pronounced “jee-GAHN-day”) recently teamed up with Funny or Die in attempt to make a hilarious video about Twilight fans, but only succeeded in further proving my hypothesis, Everything with Cam Gigandet in it Sucks. Does Cam Gigandet make everything suck, or would only sucky things be interested in Cam Gigandet? It’s like the chicken or the egg.
After the jump, check out the new trailer for Pandorum.
“From the producers of the Resident Evil franchise, comes a new movie starring Dennis Quaid, [the criminally underrated] Ben Foster and Cam Gigandet. Christian Alvert is directing the terrifying story of a couple of astronauts that have no memory of their mission or even their identities, buit quickly find out they aren’t alone on their spaceship.” [horror-movies.ca]
What if you awoke… with no memory. What if the world you knew… was gone. What if you discovered… you were not alone…. ARRRRGGGGH, IT’S CAM GIGANDET! I KNEW I SHOULDN’T HAVE AGREED TO THIS MOVIE! (I liked this better when it was called Event Horizon). (I hope that when the bad guys come, they NEVER BACK DOWN. Shut up, I was already leaving.)

Crappy movie actor Cam Gigandet (you may remember him as the bad guy in Never Back Down and Twilight) was spotted in L.A. recently wearing this felching, er, fetching kilt/argyle socks/man purse combo. You may call him douchey, but I’ll have you know that his great great great grandfather was Irish or Scottish or English or something so it’s totally cool.
How is this movie related, you ask? Well, Gigandet will be co-starring in The Unborn which opens January 9th and will suck because Cam Gigandet is in it. (Awesome poster, though)
