From the man without a last name comes the urban thriller Ecstasy. This is an anti-drug film, as suggested by the trailer. Drug deaths, sexual assault, and misfortune all lead to destruction in the first trailer for Lux's Ecstasy, which is quite graphic. Ecstasy was shot in Vancouver, British Columbia and Seattle, Washington. The film is currently available through digital-on-demand and Ecstasy stars Charlie Bewley (Eclipse), Elisa King ("Psych"), and Christy Andersen. More details are below.
The synopsis for Ecstasy is here:
"In a college community, four teenage school girls find escape in a mysterious new party drug that brings them to new heights. A mother tries in vain to stop her daughters as she watches them become addicted and lose control, and all the girls begin to be haunted by the withdrawals, which makes all their fears, guilt and demons become real" (Ecstasy).
Director: Lux.
Writers: Lux, Raymond H. Law,...

Before Charlie Bewley was cast as "Demetri" in The Twilight Saga: New Moon, he was just finishing up Vancouver Film School, and he had few credits to his name aside from a couple of film school shorts ("Stuffed" and "Robotron"). Now, he's scoring roles that take him Sundance (Like Crazy).The latest from Bewley is a cameo in Slightly Single In L.A., and you can see a snippet of him in the trailer (attached).Given the context of his appearance and the dialogue given in the video, Bewley's character, Hayden, is obviously not the hero of the story in this film.He's got a couple of other new projects under way as well, per IMDb, called The Outback (an animated film) and The First Ride Of Wyatt Earp; and he's completed working on Soldiers Of Fortune and Ecstasy (the trailer …...

Before becoming "Demetri" for the Twilight series, Charlie Bewley hadn't had a lot of experience in the film world, but The Twilight Saga: New Moon and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse have helped Bewley garner not only a passionate fanbase but also a few new forthcoming projects.

Though Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and the rest of “The Twilight Saga” cast are best known for their “Twilight” roles, most of the actors in the Saga have more brewing during and after “Twilight”. After researching multiple sources, below is a thorough list of upcoming projects that the actors are involved with or pursuing. ( If you’ve heard differently, or have something to add, please add a note in the comments. )
So, if you’re wondering what on earth you’re going to do once you’ve seen “Eclipse” for the 17th time, you have these other films to look forward to!
Authors Note: “Breaking Dawn” is not greenlit. Therefore, any reference to “Breaking Dawn” is speculation at this point.
Kristen Stewart:
