Talulah Riley's Summer House an iTunes smash; Keira Knightley and Rupert Friend's short film to be released on iTunes Sept 21st

According to NY dBusiness News, the iTunes release (last July 13) of The Summer House, starring P&P's Talulah Riley and Twilight star Robert Pattinson, has debuted at number one in 4 territories.

Within hours of it hitting the iTunes Movie Store, the film had already topped movie sales charts in the US, Canada, Ireland and Germany, fending off competition from key blockbusters like Avatar and Green Zone.

“Audiences have spoken. Short movies rock!” said Carter Pilcher, CEO of Shorts International. “As The Summer House’s record-breaking dominance atop the movie chart demonstrates, short movies are the entertainment sweet spot for fans who are shifting to shorter, sharper bursts of entertainment.”

Also, speaking of short films and iTunes, Talulah's [former] Pride & Prejudice co-stars, real-life couple Keira Knightley & Rupert Friend's own short film, The Continuing and Lamentable Saga of The Suicide Brothers, which Rupert co-wrote (and co-produced) with his other co-star and friend Tom Mison (Lost In Auten's Mr. Bingley) will be released on iTunes exclusively in September!

Short Film: Talulah Riley and Robert Pattinson's 'The Summer House' available on iTunes July 13th

Before vampire Edward Cullen romances clumsy human Bella Swan in the popular Twilight movies, he was trying to get it on with Pride & Prejudice's Mary Bennet...J/K! But then, if you just think and imagine them for a second as Mary & Edward (see Summer House promo still of them to your left ^), can we say, "Team Maward" (lol)? that would been interesting, wouldn't it? haha! :D

Anyway, lets talk about the actors (not their characters from other films), P&P 05's Talulah Riley (Jane) and Twilight's Robert Pattinson (Richard) co-starring in a short film, The Summer House, which they had filmed back in 2006 (or 2007) post-P&P and pre-Twilight movies. It was screened at the Canadian Film Center’s Worldwide Short Film Festival (CFCWSFF) during the first week of June and is available for download on iTunes this month, July 13th! (US, Canada, UK, Ireland, France, Germany). I previously posted about this last May: Talulah Riley's short film, 'The Summer House' with Twilight's Robert Pattinson to screened at CFCWSFF in June 

The short film is an adaptation of a coming-of-age story in which a teenage girl Jane (Talulah Riley) summering at an aunt’s chateau in rural France discovers the complexity of romantic relationships—both those of certain family members, as well as her own.

FYI: Here's another interesting Twilight/P&P connection, Besides Talulah co-starring with Robert Pattinson (pre-Twilight saga films) in this film, The Summer House, her P&P co-star (youngest sister Lydia) Jena Malone co-stars with Cam Gigandet (who played evil vampire tracker James in Twilight, the first film from the Twilight series) in the upcoming film Five Star Day, while eldest P&P sister/co-star Rosamund Pike and former Twilight and Twilight Saga: New Moon star Rachelle Lefevre (who portrayed baddie vampire Victoria in the first two films of the Twilight saga films) co-starred in two films Fugitive Pieces and the upcoming Barney's Version.
