As indie filmmakers continue to try new ways to get their films out--with or without conventional distribution--Five Star Day, an astrology-themed feature that overemphasizes the significance of place and time, premiered Wednesday November 2 day-and-date in movie theaters and Facebook. Gravitas Ventures and Breaking Glass Pictures claim that it's the first film to open simultaneously on both silver and laptop screens. At the same time that the film is available on Facebook--$7 gets you access to the film for 48 hours--it will continue to roll out in theaters across the country. One month ago, the low-budget horror film The Perfect House premiered on the social network, but after a thirty-city tour. The Five Star Day trailer is below. Danny Buday's debut film, Five Star Day ...

Twilight alum Cam Gigandet has certainly had his fair share of film role announcements of late. From Five Star Day to present film project Easy A to Priest, Gigandet has not taken his character's death from the Twilight series (and thus inability to return for The Twilight Saga: New Moon and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse) to heart. Most recently announced, according to Variety, is Cam Gigandet's involvement in The Experiment. Says Variety, Adrien Brody, Forest Whitaker, Elijah Wood and Cam Gigandet will star in...

Coming off of the huge Twilight Saga success during last week’s MTV Movie Awards, Cam Gigandet, who plays James, the vampire baddie in the first film, has just been cast as yet another vampire.
This time, it will be in a Screen Gems film adaptation of the comic book Priest. From The Hollywood Reporter:
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.

Just yesterday, we discussed Twilight star Cam Gigandet's new film Five Star Day, noting that "Cam Gigandet is shedding his "bad-boy" image for a more thoughtful role in Five Star Day." Last week, we noted that Gigandet was joining Friends alumnus Lisa Kudrow in a new comedy film Easy A. Apparently, though, comedies and astrology-debunking aside, Gigandet hasn't forgotten what it tastes like (pun intended) to be a vampire on-screen.

After having won two MTV Movie Awards for "Best Fight" for his performances in Never Back Down (alongside Sean Faris) and Twilight (alongside The Twilight Saga: New Moon star Robert Pattinson), Cam Gigandet is shedding his "bad-boy" image for a more thoughtful role in Five Star Day. The trailer for the film, which was recently released, shows that Gigandet's character is much more subtle and withdrawn. Though he is a man on a mission (to disprove the validity of astrology), he is certainly not the high-ego rough and tough personality we saw with James and Ryan McCarthy. Five Star Day will also feature Stepmom star Jena Malone. Below is the trailer, and m...

An indie film about a journey of self discovery featuring mega-hot Cam Gigandet? Count us in! Five Star Day begins with Jake, a Uc Berkeley student, who has the crappiest day ever. Everything that can go wrong does, so he sets out to disprove astrology and turn things around. Meanwhile, he meets Jena Malone, who changes his outlook on life and perhaps falls in love with our dashing bookworm. Pretty damn far from the bloodthirsty vampire he played in Twilight, that's for sure. Check out the above trailer and let us know: Are you excited to see Cam's new movie? ...

Rumor has it, Cam Gigandet already has girlfriend. His secret leading lady reportedly is actress Dominique Geisendorff. Star magazine breaks the report and claims the supposed lovers have been living together in Los Angeles.
"Dominique thinks that Cam is the one she's going to marry," Dominique's grandmother, Helen Feldman, tells Star. "And I believe Cam feels the same way about her. They're very serious."
Cam, nevertheless, refuses to comment on the dating report. "I can't talk to you," so he tells Star when the publication reaches him at the apartment he shares with Dominique for comment.
Star offers further details about the love relationship of Cam Gigandet and Dominique Geisendorff on its December 8 issue, already on newsstands.

Five Star Day is getting two hot young actors. According to Hr, Cam Gigandet (Twilight) and Jena Malone (The Ruins, Donnie Darko) will team up in this indie drama as a couple. Gigandet's character is a man who loses everything and must take a journey of self-discovery. By his side throughout this quest is a girlfriend (Malone) and his wise best friend who'll be played by Will Yun Lee (Bionic Woman). Sounds very typical in terms of a youth drama, so it'll be exciting to get a better sense of the film's potential as more of the plot is revealed. Malone's a known quantity, but it's not until the release of Twilight on the 21st, that we'll get to see what Gigandet is capable of, beyond his role in Never Back Down. All three stars have a lot on their schedule. Gigandet, of course, has Twilight followed by the horror...
