Jack's Mannequin Stephenie Meyer and Mermaids working together 2cc57361

Jack's Mannequin, Stephenie Meyer, and Mermaids working together?

Yes, you heard it people of Buzznet. Jack's Mannequin and the one and only author of the best selling Twilight series Stephenie Meyer will be working together. Meyer will be making her directorial debut on Jack's Mannequin's new music video for "The Resolution" off of Jack's Mannequin's upcoming album The Glass Passenger (hitting shelves on September 30).

Before you get too excited, note that there will be no guest appearances by any vampires in the video. Andrew McMahon (singer/songwriter for Jack's Mannequin) has dropped several hints about the video to MTV in an article that you can read at MTV.com. He mentions that there will be a lot of water, and that there may be a mermaid? As if we weren't all curious enough!

How did these two talented artists come together? Most of you Twilight fans know that Stephenie Meyer makes it widely known that she is very inspired by music. She has dropped Jack's Mannequin's name several different places including the back a few books in the Twlight saga as inspiration. The word spread to Andrew McMahon who then contacted Stephenie Meyer. The final product is due for release in September. This epic collaboration shocked me (to say the least), but apparently it was something many fans have been waiting for. For a more in depth article and interview with Andrew McMahon on the subject, hop on over here.

There has already been a lot of talk about this collaboration, and I have to say that I am excited to see what is to come of this. What is your opinion?

	mizery: 08/29/2008 12:33 PM i wonder how she will do directing she should have directed her own movie too because it looks like crap now with many unwanted scenes but once you sign your book over thats the end of your say in what goes on in the movies but i think she'll do a great job with this she has a great imagination :}
	breesays: 08/29/2008 1:10 PM I wonder if thats a typical leap? From author to director, I mean. Hmm
	xxletterbombxx: 08/29/2008 1:56 PM Ahh. B.S.! I mean, I'm always stoked for anything Andrew McMahon does, but I don't like Stehenie Meyer. Basically, she ruined vampires for me. I just... can't look at them the same way. Haha, Nah. But the Twilight books do suck. I may be the only person in the human race who thinks so, but whatever. I'll deal. "The Resolution" is an amazing song.

	xxmondayeyes: 08/29/2008 2:09 PM I don't know, I'm excited (as you can tell from the last couple lines of the article. I thought it a bit strange that she is jumping from author to director, but I think something great can come of it. I loved the world that Stephenie Meyer created in Twilight, so I'm confident that she will be able to create something just as imaginative for 'The Resolution.' I am also a very large (to say the least) fan of Andrew McMahon and his music. I feel that two people that can create such amazing art will work well together. Granted, that's just my opinion. =)
	xxasleepordeadxx: 08/29/2008 2:43 PM Since I was reading the Twilight series before it became popular, I have a right to say that I'm happy. Stephenie's a very talented person, and Jack's Mannequin are also a great band, it's cool :]

	shotgunbananas: 08/29/2008 2:53 PM stephanie mayer is definitely a talented person, and no matter when you read the books they're all still good stories. she's got a very creative mind and i'm really happy that she's applying it to her love of music as well. its going to be exciting to see what it turns out to be!
	swirly: 08/29/2008 3:13 PM i don't knw about you guys, but i'm excited. i loved the Twilight books, and JM is one of the favorite bands. =/
	xxcallmecrazyxx: 08/29/2008 8:03 PM LOLWHUT. I don't know how I particularly feel about this. I can imagine Stephanie Meyer's beyond excited to direct a music video for one of her favorite bands, I mean, who would'nt. But seriously. It sounds like it's taking this too far.
	Soon-to-be Auntie B: 08/29/2008 8:15 PM Oh.My.Blog. If she makes mermaids neon, I will explode. MERMAIDS ARE NOT NEON! THEY SING!
	wrappedupinmusic: 08/29/2008 9:35 PM skintight said: Seriously. I don't get how she can become a part of this from telling good stories. If you critcically read her books, they're not even that good. But the characters are what makes the books.
	myhelena: 08/30/2008 12:51 AM I'm not into Twilight yet, but I was wondering when the next album was coming out. :) Thank you Jack's Mannequin and Buzznet!
