Official Movie Poster for Michael Welch’s New Movie ‘Unrequited’

by LMCullen on January 3, 2010 · View Comments

Eclipse human Michael Welch (aka Mike Newton) is the starring in a new movie Unrequited due to hit theaters on June 8th in the US. He is playing the part of Ben Jacobs.

Here is a synopsis from the Official Unrequited site -

Psychological thriller UNREQUITED tells the story of Ben Jacobs, a troubled young man who, on his 18th birthday, must leave the group home for “troubled teens” where he has been living for the past several months. After moving back in with his mother, Ben discovers that his girlfriend, Jessica Morgan, has moved on with her life and is now dating an older college guy. Desperate for love and unable to cope with losing Jessica, Ben’s troubled past catches up with him as he kidnaps her in an attempt to regain her affection. Spiraling out of control and on a very dangerous path, Ben must ultimately decide whether to let her go, or hold on to the one person he loves, even if it means destroying them both in the process

Wow! Looks like quite the thriller! I think Michael is an awesome guy, I truly hope this movie does well!

If you haven’t seen the official trailer yet, you can check it out after the break!

2 rpattz_dreamer(TeamRobsBeanie) 01.03.10 at 2:57 pm: The film sounds great one i must look out for
3 CF911 Kristen is my MILF 01.03.10 at 2:57 pm: I would love to go see this, but June 8th is a really bad time for me, considering I am a Twilight fan.
But we shall see if I can squeeze it in. I want to support the Twilight cast as much as possible.
4 MaryJaneTwilight 01.03.10 at 2:57 pm: Mike looks so good!
5 eva6kora {THE LEG HITCH LOVER} 01.03.10 at 2:59 pm: Wow! I mean this looks like a very good movie!
I like Mike playing a psycho role, it kinda fits him, he seems to be playing it really well.
Go Mike! Psycho! lol
6 Vampyre_Wolf_Lover 01.03.10 at 2:59 pm: Mike Newton the psycho. Always new he had it in him. I could see him going this route trying to save Bella from herself, i.e., having Edward and Jacob in her life. Such unhealthy obsessions she has…
7 BellasLoveFlippy TeamEmotional 01.03.10 at 3:00 pm: Why am I having New Moon deja-vus with some of these lines?
8 MrsRobynCullen 01.03.10 at 3:03 pm: Ewwww im not gonna go see thins *shiver*
9 IndiesR 01.03.10 at 3:04 pm: I'm really happy to see that these guys are all getting roles and doing things outside of Twilight. I want to see the trailer of this, I'm sure he'll do a good job.
10 MythicalMonster 01.03.10 at 3:07 pm: Aww, and here is another movie that I want to see… There are so many this year…
The trailer looks good!
11 sagrario 01.03.10 at 3:09 pm: I hope that he gets roles and makes a career of his own…I really do.
12 Adriana Sanchez 01.03.10 at 3:21 pm: I love love creepy movies, not mindless slasher flicks, but psycho thrillers? bring it on, though I will probably see this movie on dvd, June, hello Eclipse.. Now picture Mike Newton in his bedroom caressing Bella's picture saying “we will be together, my love soon”, and did anyone notice, the girl's name is Jessica?
13 Majnona (H.N) 01.03.10 at 3:31 pm: He's a phenomenal actor! I saw this trailer some time ago and man was I blown away..he's 'really' good..you can really tell how he's so into character! I can't wait to so more of him he's so underrated!
14 treclaire 01.03.10 at 3:41 pm: LOL!
HER NAME IS JESSICA! XD
15 treclaire 01.03.10 at 3:45 pm: aww…Hmm..:(
I love Mike so much[I do mean Mike Welch]….hes so sweet
I don't know if I wanna watch him be all scary/crazy/mean O_O
or if I cannnn…[I don't do well with scary movies :O lol]
16 Majnona (H.N) 01.03.10 at 3:51 pm: Hmm that girl with him can't act though
17 Team BritishInvasion&Emotional 01.03.10 at 3:52 pm: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
This is one TALENTED cast
Not like HSM lol
18 Rachel K 01.03.10 at 4:17 pm: In the beginning…some of the lines…Edward rip offs…
Does anyone besides me find it funny that the girl, the love interest of MIKE Welsh who plays MIKE Newton, is named Jessica?
I guess I don't really like psych horror…
19 robfan1st- teamFamousLadiesMan 01.03.10 at 4:21 pm: I'm gonna see this. One of my purposes in life now is to support the Twilight cast beyond their work in this franchise.
20 leahreallyitis 01.03.10 at 4:38 pm: okay I am definitly going to see that movie! it looks good!
21 leahreallyitis 01.03.10 at 4:42 pm: hello mythicalmonster I am new here and I want to see this movie too it looks really good and I am happy also that the cast is doing other movie projects outside of the Twilight Saga
22 robfan1st- teamFamousLadiesMan 01.03.10 at 4:49 pm: I gotta say, he's a cute guy. Some of the “humans” of Twilight are really good actors…including Michael Welch. He doesn't really look like he's trying too hard…he seems to have some natural abilities…I mean, so what if he plays Mike Newton in the movies, he can't play Mike newton forever…I mean Rob plays the gentleman Edward in this franchise…but if he gets a part where he has to be a total @$$hole, I'll still support him.
23 leahreallyitis 01.03.10 at 4:52 pm: you so right on Team Britishinvasion&Team Emotional! please, HSM is so cheesy one of my best friends loved the movie I looked at her like have you lost what's left your mind but I did not say anything kept it to myself LOL it is nothing like the 1980's movie FAME which was awesome but HSM I am not intertested
24 leahreallyitis 01.03.10 at 4:59 pm: I am really happy for him this is huge for Mike I wish him a lot of success and happiness and it is good to see him play a bad a** he looks very convincing in this role I am looking forward to seeing it June 8th then Eclipse! then in November HP and the Deathly Hallows yes I am a Harry Potter fan I have read all the books and have seen all six movies so far now number 7
25 leahreallyitis 01.03.10 at 5:01 pm: I know that is so creepy! the chicks name is Jessica! that poor girl
26 MythicalMonster 01.03.10 at 5:11 pm: Hey! Welcome to EM.org!
Now all there is missing is a nice profile pic!
And yeah, It will be interesting to see them perform in other movies!
27 leahreallyitis 01.03.10 at 5:19 pm: thank you I am so thrilled to be on here! I have been on here but never posted you all totally crack me up I sit and just and laugh my butt off and when you all talk Rob or the cast members when it comes to rob that is when I climb abroad the “smut”wagon! LOL!
28 Team BritishInvasion&Emotional 01.03.10 at 5:28 pm: I just love musicals but those two just make me want to jump off a cliff or something ((((((((
29 leahreallyitis 01.03.10 at 5:28 pm: oh I so agree he will definitly have a awesome and be the best actor he can be and have fun with it and yeah if Rob were to play an @$$hole, I would support him all the way I'd like too personally LOL!
30 BellasLoveFlippy TeamEmotional 01.03.10 at 5:30 pm: nice Bella reference.. LOL
31 Team BritishInvasion&Emotional 01.03.10 at 5:31 pm: LOL
Hehehehehehe I just waited until someone got it
32 Team BritishInvasion&Emotional 01.03.10 at 5:32 pm: LMAO
I didnt notice that
I mean what are the chances right??????
33 BellasLoveFlippy TeamEmotional 01.03.10 at 5:33 pm: I'm TRAINED by now.. LMAO
34 Team BritishInvasion&Emotional 01.03.10 at 5:37 pm: LOL
I dont know about you but I feel like rereading the whole series again
Quick question do you read fan fics ????????
35 BellasLoveFlippy TeamEmotional 01.03.10 at 5:41 pm: I'm re-reading Eclipse right now.. Edward just ripped Victoria's head off..
Yeah.. I'm reading one that is called “Whispers of a Dream” it's good, but it's so sad.. I want to find one where I can just LOL, you know.. How about you?
36 Team BritishInvasion&Emotional 01.03.10 at 5:45 pm: I love that part in Eclipse
I cant wait to watch it in the big screen
Oooh what is that one about ????
Yeah I read one. I forgot the name but its about the continuance of the saga 6 years later
I really liked it
37 robfan1st- teamFamousLadiesMan 01.03.10 at 5:57 pm: Hey there, Leah…
haha yeah I think one of Rob's upcoming roles he;ll play an @$$hole…Bel Ami…a womanizer who does some bad shizzz…
Are ya new to EM.org and NMM.org? If so, welcome…and get a little avatar like the rest of us…”gray faces” sometimes get a bad rep even if they're good people…
38 BellasLoveFlippy TeamEmotional 01.03.10 at 5:57 pm: Can you imagine how Rob's gonna be when he is first all persuasive and then jumps and rips BDH's head off.. Ops, I used the wrong names.. Oh well.. LOL
It's about Edward and he's this kid who's been put in and out of foster homes for most of his life and then he starts dreaming about Bella. Finally he's put in the Cullen home and he discovers that Bella is real but she's in a coma and then suddenly she disappears from his dreams and he gets all depressed…
Oh, I think I heard about that one.. Isn't it called “An Untitled Continuation of the Twilight Saga”? I haven't started it yet, but it seemed to be interesting.. Is it?
39 MythicalMonster 01.03.10 at 6:01 pm: lol, yeah I remember I've been on here for a while too before I first commented… hehe
40 teamjalice 01.03.10 at 6:30 pm: Hey everyone I just made a blog . I know it sucks right now but I would love if anyone has made any fan fictions to send them to me!!!! thanks!!!!!!!

41 TeamKristen(L)RumpyPumpy 01.03.10 at 6:38 pm: Normally thrillers are crud. Like so bad. This film as well reminds me of another thriller, and i loved that one. So i'm going to watch this.
The trailer is real good and i like the fact he kidnaps her. I'd just wished he could have shown more of his potential *cough* dancing *cough*
the mike Newton bush dance is never going to get old. LOL
42 My_brand_of_Leg_Hitch 01.03.10 at 6:41 pm: Sounds good… you should write a fanfic about it.
43 My_brand_of_Leg_Hitch 01.03.10 at 6:47 pm: I watched the trailer for this on-line last month… it looks incredibly creepy. It was weird for me to see sweet, innocent-looking Mike Newton going psychotic. I think it disturbed me even more than it would if I had never seen Mike W. in a movie before. It's like Mike Newton finally realized that he was a bit pf a pansy and then went off the deep end and kidnapped this girl… idk it was weird for me!
I'm really glad to see Mike W. in a lead role though. I think that there are a lot of actors in this Saga who could handle lead roles and maybe hadn't been discovered yet. Mike's one of them, Anna K obviously, and I would love to see Ashley, Kellan and Jackson in a lead… in movies that get some wide exposure.
44 Vampyre_Wolf_Lover 01.03.10 at 7:04 pm: I should, shouldn't? It would have to be a one-shot though because I'm already behind on others.
45 JenJen81 01.03.10 at 7:31 pm: This kid has talent. One of the better actors to come out of the Twilight movies.
46 EdwardsTrueBlood 01.03.10 at 7:57 pm: i wasnt a really fan of mike..but i gotta give it to him…hes was pretty funny in new moon!!! hahah wat a marshmallow!!! hahahah
47 FortuneTellingBloodsucker 01.03.10 at 8:02 pm: Another movie for me to go see. Love supporting the whole cast it's great that they are getting more exposure. That's how many movies with them now 8 I think.
48 FortuneTellingBloodsucker 01.03.10 at 8:05 pm: Is it just me or can anyone else see Mike Newton *trying* pulling that type of s%@t with Bella.
49 CC; Miami Coven's Jane 01.03.10 at 8:12 pm: I knew Mike would go psycho on Jessica sooner or later.
*snickers*
He's an amazing actor and the perfect Mike.
His “gotta get that protein in there” line totally proves that.
50 ScarletI *Team Pea Coat!!!* 01.03.10 at 8:13 pm: The synopsis sounds incredible…
Now if only I can picture Mike a tortured teen and not a marshmellow.
51 mistyallen78 01.03.10 at 8:48 pm: Hey guys I actually know the director of this film and I passed this link on to him and he thinks its great that Twilighters are so supportive of the cast!!
52 Mary 01.03.10 at 9:01 pm: I know! This is going to be great if everyone does it right!
Haha, I was looking for that! It's too bad her last name isn't Stanley. I think we were all waiting for Mike to be some kind of “disturbed teen.” I think it's because Edward scared him so much that he just went out of his mind and started to like Jessica a lot more….
53 MadGrin 01.03.10 at 9:01 pm: Sounds amazing. *takes out list* Another movie to add the movies to see for 2010. What does that make now? 10? I fathom I'll be broke by the time I see Eclipse. Oh well, and I couldn't help but laugh about his girlfriend, Jessica. And I must say I absolutely adore his eyes. When hes asking Bella to prom, it's all I see in that scene. And Edward in the background.. LOL
54 Team BritishInvasion&Emotional 01.03.10 at 9:34 pm: AHHHHHHHHHHHH

55 BellasLoveFlippy TeamEmotional 01.03.10 at 10:00 pm: I will.. Especially because you're so enthousiastic about it.. So what is it exactly about? Is it just how the Cullens start over 6 years after Bella's been changed??
I'll send it as soon as I get to my own computer, I'm writing this comment from my mom's iPhone so I don't have it here..

64 BellasLoveFlippy TeamEmotional 01.03.10 at 11:25 pm: LOL! He sooo wants to be EC! He is just jealous!

*grabs Banana's hands and starts twirling around*

I am so hooked dude! I read until Chapter 3 last night and I'm lovin' it! Seriously, what is up with that Nate guy?! (Don't tell me! LMAO)
72 baufelle 01.04.10 at 1:24 pm: Funny. He really can't get over with JESSICA no matter what MOVIE he's into! BEN, JACOBS, and JESSICA…. These names are TOO FAMILIAR!
73 misstq 01.04.10 at 7:38 pm: Hi there, where can I watch the trailer?

75 JordynLautner87 01.04.10 at 8:26 pm: Jackson is the lead in a thriller called Dread. I have to see Unrequited and Dread. This year is going to be /the/ year for movies, I'm telling you.
76 misstq 01.04.10 at 9:02 pm: Hahahaa I'm all about the comments…didn't even look close enough up there hahaa. Just love to read the comments so much…You r a sweetie too!!!

78 Eli_Darling 01.04.10 at 10:55 pm: I don't normally watch 'thrillers' but this actually looks ok. And I have to say I was a bit surprised at how natural he seems. He hasn't been given much to work with on the Twilight Saga but just from the trailer he looks like he has some talent.
79 Team I luv cake :) 01.04.10 at 11:43 pm: Ok well what is up with Nate is that…… yeah right like I would tell you
Hon just read it LOL I promise you it wont disappoint
Just by reading the first chapter got me thinking that it was going to be AWESOME )))))
Just keeping telling me how much you like it so far ))))))
80 LaPushbabyLaPush 01.05.10 at 3:21 pm: Are you sure this movie isn't:
Love Spelled Backwards Is Love???
*wink*
81 cara08/TeamFrostyJunk/No_H8 01.05.10 at 3:25 pm: Love spelt backwards is puke!
Hate that scene!
82 BellasLoveFlippy -TeamCake 01.05.10 at 3:42 pm: Ok, so I came until Chapter 14 last night and I'm loving it! I thought Nathan was some kind of weird half vampire thing, I would never have expected this! LOL And I absolutely love the Renesmee parts! I wonder when Jacob is going to tell her she is his imprintee.. I'm so expecting her to get mad or something.. hehe
Did you start on Whispers of a Dream?
83 Team I luv cake :) 01.05.10 at 8:02 pm: No I didnt think he would be a vampire I thought he was something darker I did not expect it to be a warlock though . I love the Edward parts I find them to be exciting
No I havent started on it yet hon. I ve been super busy but I l start on it today I promise
84 BellasLoveFlippy -TeamCake 01.05.10 at 8:11 pm: I'm just at the part where the Cullens have told Nate and Collin, so I really wanna know what happens next you know.. I have to say though, the people in the story talk in a very different way some times, but then it goes back to normal..
Oh, don't worry about it!
You are not going to believe what my Dutch teacher said today.. We have to have read an entire effing book by the end of next week! I don't even have one picked out! I'm so gonna be all nice to her tomorrow so she'll give me some tips on books that I can read fast.. hehe (a)
85 Team I luv cake :) 01.05.10 at 8:21 pm: Oooh I love that part
I know they were saying things that Stephanie wouldnt make them say you know but its OK
I can just picture you now
-BLF- Teacher you look reallllllyyyyyy pretty today *you say it as you set a mug saying “the world's best teacher”*
LMAO
86 BellasLoveFlippy -TeamCake 01.05.10 at 8:32 pm: Bella is really all confident.. I like that!
LMAO! *goes to paint a mug*
It looks a bit off.. Should I put some sparkles on it? LOL
87 Team I luv cake :) 01.05.10 at 8:43 pm: Yeah well that is one good thing about it
Our bella is not a wuss anymore LOL
And only add sparkles if she loves VAMPIRES lol
88 BellasLoveFlippy -TeamCake 01.05.10 at 8:54 pm: Bella really is perfect as a vamp.. She has perfect self control, she is hot (according to well, everyone) and she sparkles even more than Edward!
*throws sparkles out the window*
What do I do for the extra touch then? I'm not gonna waste my precious cake on her! LMAO
89 Team I luv cake :) 01.05.10 at 8:57 pm: Uhmmm what about an apple?
LMAO
90 BellasLoveFlippy -TeamCake 01.05.10 at 8:58 pm: That is so cliché! I think I'll just settle for the mug and look at her with my best puppy eyes.. She already likes me anyway.. LMAO
91 Team I luv cake :) 01.05.10 at 9:00 pm: hey but its what works LOL
Alright hon give it your best try
