Twilight Series Movie (movies?): Official Thread!!!

[saveus1011]

I gotta be honest, for the first time I'm actually looking forward to a Harry Potter film. Those have really evolved nicely.

[Sparkle~Girl]

I still don't see Twilight as anywhere near Harry Potter good book wise or movie and i gotta believe if Harry Potter would have stayed Twilight likely wouldn't had a big weekend. Now that twilight moved too November.
.
Obviously not. That's why I don't get the comparisons magazines and such keep making between Twilight and HP, they're completely different things.

[Matrix_Fan]

Was there really any relevance to this?

No, actually. Just me being me. :P

Psh. Like every post has to be relevant. You funny guy.

Sparkle, do you really think I'm against this P.O.S. because of the fanbase?

Now what have I ever done to you? Ya crazah person you.

[petergriffin246]

something tells me that Sauveus secretly likes Twilight. I mean I'm no fan of it and when I'm not a fan of something I leave the forum for it alone. People like different things

[saveus1011]

You're way off sir. I'm not bashing the fan base at all.

[JBond]

From now on, this thread is only for discussing Twilight.

Crazy, I know.

[DarthVader 2004]

I don;t get the Phenomenon that is Twilight i mean looks like Undewrold watered down or rather moved too high school setting. Harry Potter is a rare original and for me is one of the greatest film and book trilogies next too Rings ofcourse

[saveus1011]

I was.

[Angelixx]

I don;t get the Phenomenon that is Twilight i mean looks like Undewrold watered down or rather moved too high school setting. Harry Potter is a rare original and for me is one of the greatest film and book trilogies next too Rings ofcourse

mostly, for me, it satisfies the chick in me that desperately wants a new 'romeo and juliet' type feel....truthfully though i cant explain what it is about twilight that causes this pandemonium because honestly this type of book really shouldn't appeal to me. I had heard the description of twilight before i read it and was kinda dead set on not reading it because i thought "right...more vampires" but, like harry potter, i got bored one day, had some cash and gave the book a chance cus the cover art did intrigue me. i ended getting obsessed.

it just has a je ne sais quois about it for girls...and some dudes.
however i must defend that twilight does have many original things about it. the whole fact that the twilight vampire lore is fairly different from the typical stuff: the actual process of the turning, the lack of fangs (making the bites much more brutal) and yes, the sparkling lol.

Erm...no. I've talked to people who've read the book (my own gal being one of them, she hated the film BTW) and they all said it's basically a trashy romance with vampires in it, vampires and werewolves being the main appeal.

If it didn't have that, it would be a trashy romance novel lost in the dozens of others at Barnes and Noble.

[Sparkle~Girl]

I don't know where you read that because the thing this books are totally NOT is trashy. Quite the contrary actually, they're very tame.

Hahaha, I can never see the Twilight books described as a trashy romance novel. Romance novel, maybe, but defenetly not trashy.

[Necross]

Its pointless Sparkle, trust me.

[saveus1011]

I don't know where you read that because the thing this books are totally NOT is trashy. Quite the contrary actually, they're very tame.

Two people who read the books (MY GAL INCLUDED in case you missed it the first time) told me they were basically that. They only enjoyed them because of the vampire lore.

So my question is which one of you whined to Jibbs?

[Sparkle~Girl]

So who else really digged that dream sequence? It's one of my favorite parts.

Also, my favorite part of the movie is when Edward is sucking the venom out of Bella's blood and she has the flashback of all their times together and Rob's song is playing on the background. Yeah, I cried... :P

[Dan's_Gurl]

alright, off to see twilight for the second time. i'm going to try and watch it as a movie and forget the book (which is close to impossible). i just want to see if it makes sense for someone who hasn't read the books.

[Necross]

I think it does, I haven't heard anyone who hasn't read it say they didn't understand it. The only things i've noticed that were missing were backstory stuff and explanations of like Jasper's powers, nothing that would really confuse anyone by it not being there. In my opinion anyway.

[Angelixx]

Erm...no. I've talked to people who've read the book (my own gal being one of them, she hated the film BTW) and they all said it's basically a trashy romance with vampires in it, vampires and werewolves being the main appeal.

are you actually trying to convince me that my own opinion on why 'I' like a book is wrong?



So my question is which one of you whined to Jibbs?
me. congratulations you're the first poster ive ever bothered to report to a mod.

[saveus1011]

are you actually trying to convince me that my own opinion on why 'I' like a book is wrong?

No, but you're wrong anyway.

Honestly, it's nothing against the fanbase at all. It's just the film is a lump of s*** and I don't see how even die-hards could like it.

me. congratulations you're the first poster ive ever bothered to report to a mod.

Obviously, it went in one ear and out the other. So much for that. Now go back to reading your novel and wish for a romance you'll never have.

what went in one ear and out the other? that makes absolutely no sense in response to what i posted.

you've made your point that you hate the friggen movie, now move on.

Twilight continues doing very well at the box office.

'Twilight' Beats Wednesday Opening of 'Four Christmases' To Lead Thanksgiving Box Office; 'Australia' Debuts Distant #7

THURSDAY AM: For this 5-day Thanksgiving holiday, it looks like Twilight and female tweens and teens will go together like turkey and pumpkin pie. It's too soon to call the weekend movie-wise based just on Wednesday's grosses. But the expected frontrunner, New Line/Warner Bros' sour Four Christmases, came in only No. 2 with $6.1M from 3,310 theaters behind $8M from 3,419 venues for Summit Entertainment's no-sex, no-violence, no-stars vampire romance that should spend another weekend in No. 1. "All those kids out of school Friday helped Twilight. Four Christmases did not have that much family interest," one studio exec told me when first numbers came in from the North American box office. MovieTickets.com saw it coming and told me that low-cost blockbuster Twilight had sold more tickets on its site than Bolt, Quantum of Solace, Australia, and Milk combined early in the week. Still, filmgoers may be in the mood for comedy, even a mediocre one, and Four Christmases has "the best shot" to beat the movie adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's best-selling book this weekend, according to my box office gurus. They're predicting the Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon PG-13 starrer is on track to debut over $25M in its 3,200+ theaters for the 3-day weekend (which is far better than Vince's last seasonal outing of $18.5M in the just plain awful Fred Claus) and $35M for the 5-day holiday. Summit is hoping for a low $30sM (3-day weekend) and mid $40sM (for the 5-day holiday) for Twilight.

Disney's Bolt finished No. 3 Wednesday with a big comeback of $5.1M in 3,651 plays after a difficult debut last weekend when Twilight skewed younger than expected. The superpooch could also end up in the high $20sM since Thanksgiving audiences love family pics so much. New Bond holdover Quantum of Solace from MGM/Sony was No. 4 and scored $4.1M Wednesday from 3,458 runs. It should have a 3-day weekend total in the high teens. At No. 5, Jason Statham is still a reliable draw in the franchise Transporter 3, now distributed by Lionsgate after the first two were released by Fox, opened with $3.3M Wednesday from 2,626 dates. The actioner is right on pace for $14M over the 3-day weekend and $20M for the 5-day holiday. DreamWorks Animation's toon sequel Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa distributed by Paramount made $2.7M Wednesday starting its 4th weekend in release by grabbing 6th place.

But the big surprise was the mere 7th place opening Wednesday of 20th Century Fox's sweeping period epic Australia with only $2.5M from 2,642 theaters. This means that Fox was right to predict only $13M for the 3-day weekend and $18M for the 5-day holiday. Rival studios who thought the pic could do $25M and finish No. 4 are quickly pronouncing the pic DOA with a debut like this. ("Fox wasn't lowballing. I guess they knew how bad it was. And with only 52% positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, it isn't likely to have legs or get Oscars," one studio exec told me when he saw the numbers.) But Fox is pointing to rave reviews in both The New York Times and Los Angeles Times, plus counting on very strong international appeal because director Baz Lurhmann's films (Moulin Rouge, Romeo & Juliet) do 2x overseas what they do here. ("They have never been sprinters, they have been marathons. It takes awhile for audiences to catch up to his movies, which is why they have such large multiples," a Fox exec told me.). All along, Hollywood questioned whether Baz and fellow Oz countrymen Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman working for a media conglomerate founded Down Under could be a hit in North America. Meanwhile, Fox has marketed the pic less like a tentpole and more like a specialty film since its primary audience is women over age 25. But Australia now looks like a low-grossing Far And Away with Vegemite that's more about Aussie Pride than profit. As for whether financially this is Rupert's Folly, Fox keeps insisting that the film's cost of $125M was tempered by 40% Australian government tax credits to bring Australia's negative cost down to $75M. (As an insider explained, "If you believe in a project and believe in a filmmaker, then the thing to do is to try to responsibly protect the economic downside with partners and investments." Yet again, Kidman proves box office poison while Jackman has only made money playing Wolverine. Worse, Australia follows a summer and fall series of box office losers for the studio.

At No. 8, Universal's rauchy comedy holdover Role Models hung in for $1.1M on 2,195 plays. The Wednesday opening of Gus Van Sant's Oscar-touted pic Milk starring Best Actor nomination shoo-in Sean Penn made $264K, good enough for 9th place. Focus Features has released the well reviewed biopic into 35 theaters in 19 major cities. Look for it to score the best per screen average of the holiday weekend. Two other award-buzzed films continue to stand out in limited release: No. 10, The Boy In The Striped Pajamas from Miramax, with $250k on 582 dates, and No. 12, Slumdog Millionaire from Fox Searchlight, with $200k for 49 runs.

Not surprised to see Twilight continue to be strong at the box office, but WOW look at Australia. Never was interested in it, but what a flop hahaha.

[Tolkien]

so what did ur brother do?

Oh, no, he just uses his one-two system. After two seperate outlashes during a movie, he goes to the manager and makes up a story to get the persons who pissed him off kicked out of the theater. Hasn't failed me yet, lol. And if you sneak in without a ticket, trust me he will find you. Actually, that brings me to another case. If you sneak into a theater without a ticket, wouldn't you keep your mouth shut and enjoy the movie, rather than making a scene and constantly talking out loud?

Hardwicke Plans For Twilight Sequel She's Yet To Be Offered
1 December 2008 8:06 AM, PST


Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke is already making big plans for a sequel to the hit film - even though she's yet to be handed the job.

The filmmaker scored the biggest debut ever for a female director when the vampire love story shot to number one in the U.S. late last month - and talks of a follow-up movie are already underway.

Hardwicke has been in talks with Hollywood bosses and is excited about the prospect of shooting New Moon, the second installment in author Stephanie Meyer's cult books.

She tells MTV, "Well, right now we're trying to figure out if the studio people, and me, and everyone's on the same page.

"I want to do (New Moon) better than we did Twilight, and do it really cool. I definitely don't want to do it as something just tossed off, like a Saw II or something like that. We want to be sure that it's really going to be great and that everyone's on the same page.

"I would say that the film could be finished by the end of 2009, if not the beginning of 2010; cameras could be rolling in about five months. We spent about a year and three months getting (Twilight) ready, between writing the script and casting. We could probably do things a little bit faster this time, but who knows? It depends."

But Hardwicke confesses she's yet to sign on the dotted line - so her efforts may be in vain.

She jokes, "Where's my crystal ball? I need a crystal ball, I need a fortune teller. I hope (I make New Moon), but you just have to see if everything can work out. I don't know."

[Sparkle~Girl]

Box Office totals so far:

Domestic: $119,706,509 92.4%
+ Foreign: $9,836,346 7.6%
= Worldwide: $129,542,855

[Rogue]

So Hardwicke is already planning on directing and it hasn't even been offered to her? Wow, she's gutsy.

[Sparkle~Girl]

Yup. They're still without a director, though Hardwicke is in talks.

[Sparkle~Girl]

Box office update:

Domestic: $125,355,346 (85.5%)
+ Foreign: $21,325,749 (14.5%)
= Worldwide: $146,681,095

[Dan's_Gurl]

from E!Online:

Catherine Hardwicke delivered the biggest opening weekend ever for a female film director—not to mention Robert Pattinson to the screaming fans—but it doesn't look like she'll be getting the chance to top that record with the next Twilight film.

The helmer has parted ways with the series. The story broke today on Nikki Finke's Deadline Hollywood Daily, and by Sunday night Variety had a statement from the director.

"I am sorry that due to timing I will not have the opportunity to direct New Moon," said Hardwicke. "Directing Twilight has been one of the great experiences of my life, and I am grateful to the fans for their passionate support of the film. I wish everyone at Summit the best with the sequel—it is a great story."

[Necross]

Hrm, so, do I call Bull**** or not? Really timing issues or do they not want her back? There were things i thought coulda been done better in the movie, but I also know director's learn and change, and I always wish they'd leave one director to a series if they do great or at least show potential to be so. She did imho. So I hope it REALLY is timing issues and not just that they want someone else.

[DragnFire22]

Please let Michael Bay do New Moon.

Kthxbie

[Matrix_Fan]

Get Lexi Alexander. :P

[Darth Maul]

hahahaha

[Neverending]

So, wait, what other female director is out there? Penny Marshall? But seriously...they should get Mary Harron. She directed American Psycho.

[saveus1011]

Get Lexi Alexander. :P

Don't insult her like that.

Questionable move getting rid of Hardwicke. Really don't see why you after success.

Hurm...

[Necross]

So, wait, what other female director is out there? Penny Marshall? But seriously...they should get Mary Harron. She directed American Psycho.

Who said it has to be a woman ;) Like countless men haven't directed love stories. :P

[Sparkle~Girl]

I call bull**** on that statement. It's as much bull**** as WBs HBP move statement... :rolleyes:

Summit was just pissed at Catherine because she kept asking for a bigger budget and a new non-rushed script, both of which they denied.

[DragnFire22]

The scripts for all the movies have been out for awhile now, they are sitting on shelves in bookstores around the world in the form of novels.

[Sparkle~Girl]

There's a big difference between a script and a book. ;)

Hardwicke 'Not Chosen To Direct Twilight Sequel'
8 December 2008 4:09 AM, PST


Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke has reportedly been turned down as director of the smash hit vampire film's sequel New Moon - despite vocalising her desire to be involved with the project.

The filmmaker scored the biggest debut ever for a female director when the bloodsucking love story shot to number one in the U.S. late in November, and was the favourite to take the follow-up movie's helm.

But, according to Hollywood Reporter, bosses at Summit Entertainment - the franchise's studio - have confirmed Hardwicke will not direct the sequel, stating the moviemaker's proposed preparation time did not fit in with their plans to release New Moon in late 2009 or early 2010.

Industry rumours reportedly suggest Hardwicke did not see eye-to-eye with Summit Entertainment during the making of Twilight.

And, in a recent interview, Hardwicke spoke of her excitement about possibly filming the second installment of author Stephenie Meyer's cult books, insisting the movie would be finished by early 2010 - the same time period Summit have slated for the film's release.

She told MTV, "I would say that the film could be finished by the end of 2009, if not the beginning of 2010; cameras could be rolling in about five months. We spent about a year and three months getting (Twilight) ready, between writing the script and casting. We could probably do things a little bit faster this time, but who knows? It depends."

So timing does seem like its the issue, not timing for other projects though, Summit wanting it out faster and her maybe wanting to take some more time with it, which I would prefer, god movie studios become such idiots after the success of the first part of a series. They should all do what New Line did and just film them all at once damn it! Except for Harry Potter cause that wouldn't work LOL.

[Angelixx]

wow. i had a strong feeling she was gonna get replaced. i kept thinking "it would be really hilarious if they just ditched her and didn't bring her back for new moon after she has gone and talked about it". totally jinxed herself by prepping and talking about new moon before actually being signed.

well i just hope the new director understands the steady cam a little more than hardwick.

[Sparkle~Girl]

Hardwicke doesn't understand the steady cam, she doesn't have to, the camerographer should though. ;)

[saveus1011]

Hardwicke doesn't understand the steady cam, she doesn't have to, the cinematographer should though. ;)

Fixed.

[Sparkle~Girl]

Oh yay, you're back... :rolleyes:

[saveus1011]

:D

Sorry, filmmaker here. Camera guys/cinematographers don't like being called that.

[Angelixx]

Hardwicke doesn't understand the steady cam, she doesn't have to, the camerographer should though. ;)

hahaha she uses the same filming style in all of her films and it bugs the crap out of me lol

[Matrix_Fan]

What is her filming style? Just wondering.

[Angelixx]

well for one thing: lack of steady cam is noticeable.
overall its very chaotic and really resembles a teenage perspective on drugs. not sure how else to describe it. it's very distinct though if you watch all of her films, Lords of Dogtown and Thirteen in particular.

[saveus1011]

She does the documentary-type thing. Similar to Greengrass in the Bourne movies right?

[Angelixx]

similar yes. i find it's a little more effective with the bourne movies though.

[saveus1011]

It is. Peter Berg could use a lesson from them too.

BTW, Chris Weitz has been contacted for New Moon according to CHUD.

[Sparkle~Girl]

I just read that and I do NOT approve.

[UnicornBlood3]

I don't approve either. Just throwing that in there.

[saveus1011]

Apparently the Weitz's are friends with someone at Summit.

Bottom line, it's not gonna matter to them what you guys think*. They have enough money to do whatever they want with the material and hire someone with a little more bravado.

* - Not a rip on you guys. Just the truth.

[Sparkle~Girl]

True, but if everyone hates the movie be sure they won't be making the same amount they did for Twilight. If the rumors are true and this guy gets the job, I wish him the best and I will hope for the best, but at the moment I'm not impressed.

[DragnFire22]

You can't go wrong with the the director of the smash hit The Golden Compass

[UnicornBlood3]

Eh I never said it mattered what I thought. Just saying I wasn't thrilled with the idea.

I liked the Golden Compass to be honest. Made me go read the books anyway.

[Necross]

Yeah, the failure of the Golden Compass, its was the Catholic League and their "It'll turn your kids into Satanists!" Bull****. The Golden Compass was a good movie imho, nothing breathtaking but enjoyable. Which is all I come to hope for from Book movies.

[DragnFire22]

The Golden Compass was a horrible mess of a movie. Pure trash.

[Matrix_Fan]

well for one thing: lack of steady cam is noticeable.
overall its very chaotic and really resembles a teenage perspective on drugs. not sure how else to describe it. it's very distinct though if you watch all of her films, Lords of Dogtown and Thirteen in particular.

Ah, I know what you mean. Like a "Dammit! Stand still!" vibe.

[Angelixx]

^ exactly! it makes it hard to focus on the actual plot.

[Matrix_Fan]

Yeah, it works well with thrillers or action movies like the Bourne films, but to put it in Twilight is just plain odd to me.

[Sparkle~Girl]

Summit continues to do the wrong thing...

Summit Entertainment has tentatively slated Nov. 20, 2009, as the release date for New Moon, the Twilight sequel, which means any director
who signs on to replace Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke has to be in Vancouver by Dec. 15 to begin 12 weeks of preproduction before a mid-March start date. Reports have speculated that Hardwicke was fired for being difficult on set, but sources close to her suggest Summit's aggressive production schedule turned her off. "She'd love to do the sequel if she could do it better than Twilight,” says one. “It *became clear that Summit didn’t have those same priorities."

Indeed, at press time the second movie appeared to have *little more than a rough first-draft working script. As Summit’s production president Erik Feig told EW during Twilight’s *record-busting first weekend, “There is that first...script. All the finesse that turns a screenplay into a movie hasn’t *happened yet.” Two weeks later, Summit is saying it’s happy with screenwriter *Melissa Rosenberg’s progress.<

Another of Hardwicke’s primary concerns was that hunky vampire Edward remains MIA throughout New Moon’s middle portion. In her own opening-weekend interview, she told EW, “You have to get the chemistry as strong *between Jacob and Bella as it was between Bella and Edward. You also have to do *some*thing with that arc: She’s in love with somebody, he disappears, she falls in love with someone else, and the first guy comes back. Movies like Pearl Harbor have tried it. It absolutely didn’t work.”

With or without Hardwicke, Summit *faces other snags. Two sources tell EW the studio doesn’t want to rehire baby-faced Taylor Lautner (pictured) as Jacob, though Lautner’s agent has apparently reached out to the *imaging company behind The Curious Case of Benjamin Button in an attempt to demonstrate to Summit how a digitally bulked-up Lautner could work. (Summit says it won’t make a decision until a new filmmaker is on board.) There’s also the matter of finding a cast of Native American actors to play Jacob’s werewolf clan — a difficult challenge Hardwicke was also faced with before *settling on Lautner, who isn’t completely *Native American. And with a slightly increased budget of $50 million — much of which is *assumed will go to leads asking for heftier paydays, location shoots in Italy, and ramped-up F/X — Summit will have to scrimp somewhere.

So what director would want to take on such a big headache? Well, at press time, an offer was out to Chris Weitz (The Golden Compass), who put Summit on the map years ago when its foreign sales operation made tons of cash off of his first film, American Pie. (One source says Weitz has already had conversations with below-the-line crew for New Moon.) “We are in a recession,” *reminds one Hollywood insider. “It’s a hit franchise. Whoever steps into it is guaranteed a $100 million gross. Everyone wants this movie.” Adds an exec at another studio, “You’d have to have a very high standard for art, hate the movie business, and hate *money to walk off this sequel.

[Haylie]

Weitz could actually do a good job with the film, The Golden Compass sucked because it was boring but the cast looked amazing in it, and that's just what twilight was missing. The cast didn't look stunning like they should. Also the bear scene's in Golden Compass prove that he could do the werewolve scene's in New Moon. Let's just hope that they don't rush it to much, and they get a decent sized budget this time.

[saveus1011]

Summit's going to drop the ball with this one.

[Angelixx]

im kinda on summit's side with the whole recasting jacob thing. there is just no way i can see taylor lautner pulling off the Jacob role in New Moon. It's just not gonna work.

[Sparkle~Girl]

I agree with that, I just don't agree with the rest, hehe :P

[Sparkle~Girl]

News is coming in like crazy!

The hectic pace planned for filming the next two Twilight sequels might have played a larger role in director Catherine Hardwicke's decision not to work on the film's follow-up New Moon.

According to sources that talked with Entertainment Weekly, the fast-paced schedule for production which begins with pre-production on Dec. 15 in Vancouver, was a big turn-off for the director. "She'd love to do the sequel if she could do it better than Twilight," the spy said.

In addition, the role of Jacob is now up for grabs as Taylor Lautner will not be reprising it in the sequel. Summit Entertainment deemed him too young-looking and slight of frame to play the maturing werewolf.

So now, the hunt for a Native American young man who fits the description of Jacob Black AND who demonstrates incredible chemistry with Kristen Bell is on.

That should be easy. While they're at it, why don't they fetch me a unicorn and a the other half of this golden amulet?

Source and Pics here: http://www.newmoonmovie.org/2008/12/michael-copon-as-the-new-jacob-black/


Rumors are swirling that Michael Copon, most noted for his work in One Tree Hill, is the new Jacob Black. According to his seemingly official Facebook page, his status update is “Michael is the older Jacob Black”. Now, this could easily be doctored, but I think it might just be true. He would be a good fit–he really does look like a bigger, older Taylor Lautner. Copon is 6′1″ and 26 years old, Lautner is 5′6″ and 16 years old. You do the math. Check him out below in his role in Scorpion King: Rise of the Warrior:


Sources tell Entertainment Weekly that Summit Entertainment is about to hire Chris Weitz (The Golden Compass) as the shepherd for New Moon, the second installment of Stephenie Meyer's best-selling Twilight series. http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2008/12/its-official-ch.html

Weitz is best-known for his work with his brother Paul. The two directed and produced American Pie and then were nominated for an Academy Award for best screenplay for About a Boy, which they also co-directed. Chris' first solo directing gig, The Golden Compass, didn't do well stateside but was a hit internationally.

Twilight, directed by Catherine Hardwicke, has grossed more than $141 million so far, but Hardwicke had clashed with the studio during production. It was announced early this week that she would not be making New Moon. Weitz has a solid relationship with Summit's top brass; he's considered easy to work with and has experience with special effects. "He's the quality-of-life-choice," says one source. While Summit insists "we have not yet signed Chris Weitz to do New Moon," and Weitz's agency says no deal has been signed, other sources say the deal is imminent, and that Summit has stopped negotiations with other potential Moon directors. Summit had planned to announce this hiring decision on Sunday, Dec. 14, and could have Weitz in Vancouver, B.C. as early as Monday to start pre-production on the film.

[Angelixx]

please PLEASE GOD LET THE MICHAEL COPON RUMOR BE TRUE! PLEASE PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE! he is who i always imagined as jacob! he was my original casting choice pick! when i saw him on one tree hill i turned to my friend and said "HE NEEDS TO BE JACOB BLACK"
its probably a rumor but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come true!! haha

[Rogue]

So why does Jacob Black have to have chemistry with Kristen Bell? Did I read that snippet incorrectly?

[Necross]

The Golden Compass was a horrible mess of a movie. Pure trash.


And I think you're purely wrong and thats not going to change.


And god damn it, everything is like a swirl of confusion around New Moon now. The Jacob replacement can work, I just thought they might ignore the whole growth spurt thing for the film, but if they can find someone who looks like an older version, that'd be cool.

[Haylie]

I don't know how to feel about the whole Jacob Black thing. I really don't like when they switch actor's, it's like watching a bad soap opera. But if he can't pull off the part what can you do? Summit better not screw this up. And has anyone heard anything about Breaking Dawn? If they just make the three I'll be way disappointed.

[DragnFire22]

And I think you're purely wrong and thats not going to change.


And you are in the minority, for good reason. The Golden Compass was hard to watch, a description I don't use lightly. It is one of the rare movies that I had to force myself to sit through. I didn't even want to see it in the first place, but was talked into it my a female friend. She had read the books and promised me that they provided a great story to work off of. It's just too bad that the movie dropped the ball. Even she wanted to leave after the first 45 minutes, but we stuck it out in the hopes of redemption. There was none. They butchered what was provided in the book, and the acting was simply horrible. And the ending? What a ****ty way to lead into a hopefully never created sequel.

Weitz was a horrible choice to direct The Golden Compass. I don't know how he will handle Twilight either.

[Dan's_Gurl]

Michael Copon is NOT Jacob. no, no, no, no, NO!

[Angelixx]

Michael Copon is NOT Jacob. no, no, no, no, NO!

but he's pretty! and the boooooooooooooooddddddddddddddyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy yyy **whines**

Press release from Summit. Note how Taylor is not mentioned...

CHRIS WEITZ TO DIRECT
SUMMIT ENTERTAINMENT'S NEW MOON

Los Angeles, CA, December 13, 2008 — Summit Entertainment announced today that filmmaker Chris Weitz has been hired to direct the second film in the studio's TWILIGHT film franchise. The film, NEW MOON, is based on the second book in author Stephenie Meyer's blockbuster book series. The announcement was made by Erik Feig, Summit's President of Production.

Weitz, an Acadamy Award®-nominated writer, director and producer, has a proven track record working with a broad range of material dealing with youth-oriented characters, fantasy and action. As such, he has the potential to bring alive in NEW MOON the dimensions and depth that fans will demand in the next installment.

Feig stated, "We love Stephenie Meyer's fantastic TWILIGHT series. Thinking long and hard about how to turn NEW MOON into the amazing movie we know it will be, and working with Stephenie Meyer to find the right candidate, we are thrilled to announce Chris Weitz as director of the film. Chris very much understands the world of NEW MOON and has the skill set required to bring the book to glorious life as a movie. We think he will be an excellent steward of Stephenie Meyer's vision."

"I am honored to have been entrusted with shepherding NEW MOON from the page to the screen," said Weitz. "The extraordinary world that Stephenie has created has millions of fans, and it will be my duty to protect on their behalf the characters, themes and story they love. This is not a task to be taken lightly, and I will put every effort into realizing a beautiful film to stand alongside a beautiful book."

Weitz previously penned ABOUT A BOY, which led to an Academy Award Nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay in 2002, and adapted and directed THE GOLDEN COMPASS (2007), which was nominated for two Academy Awards and won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. Additionally, Weitz co-wrote the 1998 animated film ANTZ and went on to produce the major box office success AMERICAN PIE and executive produced the film's two theatrical sequels. Weitz also produced IN GOOD COMPANY starring Dennis Quaid and Topher Grace and executive produced AMERICAN DREAMZ starring Hugh Grant, Dennis Quaid and Mandy Moore.

In NEW MOON, Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) is devastated by the abrupt departure of her vampire love, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) but her spirit is rekindled by her growing friendship with the irresistible Jacob Black. Suddenly she finds herself drawn into the world of the werewolves, ancestral enemies of the vampires, and finds her loyalties tested. Production on NEW MOON is scheduled to begin in the coming months and the studio is planning to release the film towards the end of 2009 or early 2010.

Feig will oversee NEW MOON for the studio along with Summit Entertainment's Director of Production Gillian Bohrer.

Weitz is represented by WMA and by Alex Kohner of Morris, Yorn, Barnes & Levine.

Statement from Stephenie.

Hey guys,

There's been a lot of worry and speculation on the boards lately, and I want to let you know what's going on.

First of all, like you, I'm sad that Catherine is not continuing on with us for New Moon. I'm going to miss her, not just as a brilliant director, but also as a friend. She has such a distinct, authentic voice that did amazing things for Twilight. I'm looking forward to every movie she does in the future.

And she didn't leave us empty handed. We still get the benefits of her amazing casting and the beautiful visual world she created. This foundation puts us in a good place for New Moon.

Summit Films is moving forward with a new director for New Moon. They've asked Chris Weitz, director of American Pie, About a Boy, and The Golden Compass, to join us, and I am very pleased to announce that he's agreed to be a part of our Twilight world. I've had the chance to talk to Chris, and I can tell you that he is excited by the story and eager to keep the movie as close to the book as possible. He is also very aware of you, the fans, and wants to keep you all extremely happy. (Torches and pitchforks are not going to be necessary.)

I'm excited to work with Chris and I think he brings a lot to the table, not the least of which for me is that he wrote the screenplay for and directed one of my favorite movies of all time, About a Boy. I'm really looking forward to seeing his vision for New Moon.

Below is a letter from Chris to you. I think you'll get a glimpse in this note of how cool it's going to be having Chris as part of our community.

One more thing, unrelated but fun: I finally got around to posting a few pictures from the premiere on the Twilight movie page.

--Stephenie

Twilight' sequel speeds ahead for November 2009

(AP)Source: AP Tue Dec 16, 2008, 2:10 pm EST
LOS ANGELES - "Twilight" fans have a short wait for the next installment of the vampire saga.

Summit Entertainment spokesman Paul Pflug says " New Moon " is following just 12 months after the first movie, opening Nov. 20, 2009, over the same weekend as "Twilight" this year.

Summit has tapped Chris Weitz (" The Golden Compass ") to direct "New Moon," based on the second book in Stephenie Meyer 's best-selling series about the dangerous romance between a teen ( Kristen Stewart ) and a vampire ( Robert Pattinson ) fighting his bloodsucking instincts.

Weitz is taking over the franchise from "Twilight" director Catherine Hardwicke . "Twilight" has shot to $150 million at the box office since debuting Nov. 21.


Putting in mind that they are still in development with the script AND there's a nice portion of cgi the movie has to rely on, this seems like a bad move IMO.

[Angelixx]

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah that does worry me a little.

[Spirited Away]

Putting in mind that they are still in development with the script AND there's a nice portion of cgi the movie has to rely on, this seems like a bad move IMO.
The original X-Men film was completed, start to finish, in less than 10 months.

New Moon isn't anywhere near as big scale as X-Men was, and a completed draft of NM is already done, which has already sorted out how to include more of Edward in the story. Considering they still have 2 months until they begin shooting, that's ample time to rework the screenplay (pre-production can easily go ahead with the current draft and the novel).

As for the visual effects, are you suggesting ILM can't turnaround a feature in 10 months? Especially a film where the effects would mainly be concentrated in three or four places, and not throughout the entire film?

ILM is already working on a film where Optimus Prime smashes in and destroys the Cullens.

Seriously, ILM? They aren't going to have the budget to get them on New Moon.

And why the hell are you bringing X-Men into this other than you're still PMSing about what happened in the 'First Class' thread? X-Men had a completed script before it went before cameras. New Moon is still being written as we speak. Two COMPLETELY different circumstances.

[Kitty]

Adding onto saveus, since they ALSO are doing re-casting and possibly will change up some things due to the director's choices in the script (hey, it does happen), it still seems cutting it too close. He's right too, they barely bumped up the budget a little compared to the one for Twilight, so it would be a tad difficult to hire a big fx group like that.

Right now Summit seems to be penny pinching like hell and rebuffing a lot of things for this sequel. For me, this seems like a possible train wreck.

[Angelixx]

all I'm gonna say is I know of one obvious example of a movie series putting out a sequel only a year after the first film:
harry potter.

and look what crap Chamber of Secrets turned out to be. THAT is why I'm a little worried.

[Kitty]

Chamber of Secrets is actually one of my favs of the Harry Potter (novel) series, and yeah I know how you feel. It just overall sucks that Summit is too incredibly desperate to spit out one movie after another so quick via Saw. Then again, they know its a big money maker and big time bonafied franchise under their wing so I guess its to be expected.

[Haylie]

How much CGI do you think they'll need for this film? I can only think for the werewolf stuff but I can't think of anything else. And there's not that much actual werewolf stuff in the book it's mostly in eclipse. So I bet they could get it done and do a good job. I'm trying to keep my hopes up anyway. They just need to pull of the volturi really well and I'll like it.

There's quite a bit of the werewolves in NM and then I'm guessing they'll use quite a bit of it for the effects at Italy.

More than the effects, I'm more worried about them shooting and VERY crappy script in only a few months, it just doesn't seem enough for something that is still only a draft. On that note, I'm also not very happy with the addings of Edward when he's not suppossed to be there, it takes a lot out of his return at the end of NM.

Maybe (and this is plausible) when she 'hears' Edward he could actually be nearby or they show a shot of him or some sort of stupid bull like that. I agree though, it does take a huge chunk out of the significance of this story with throwing him in there more. Summit is really being stupid right now IMO

I saw this movie and was severely disappointed it wasn't made by Pixar. I think the directing was terrible and the performances were wooden.

The script was bad but I can't blame the screenwriter. The books were terrible. They need to be burnt. Overall, I didn't like the movie.

[DragnFire22]

Pixar...?

[Dragon Knight]

the only thing i didn't like about this was the total lack of vampire action

it felt like it was all talk about how these other vaps are such killers and it only took less then 10min to get his head ripped off by someone who had less lines of diologe then Bobba fett.

I was so dissapointed with the other 2 books

all this build up and little to no payoff.

[Sparkle~Girl]

Well, this isn't a vampire action flick. It's a love story. If you wanted vamp action this isn't the movie for you.

[Haylie]

Going back to the CGi thing, a girl answered my question in detail on another board. I love people like this who go back and do the research for me. Here is the post. Also I have to say I'm so glad Rob cut his hair, it was getting way to out of control. He looks so good now.

I made a thread about this yesterday. I took out the book and wrote down all the wolves parts and it's really not that much

See -
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1259571/board/thread/125495853?d=125495853 &p=1#125495853

1. First sight of the wolves- page 242, Bella is in the meadow, Laurent is walking to her and starts backing up shocked. Seeing first a black, then gray, the the other wolves, and the brown russet one comes the closest to Bella with dark, intelligent eyes. So a wolf staring a Bella with sincerity while the others are in attack mode.

Then they run Laurent off. And that's it. Now to make it an action, they will probably show all 5 of them vs. Edi (Laurent) and killing and burning him

2. page 316, Jacob runs into the woods and morphs to call a meeting about information about Victoria. Then he comes back to Bella and they drive to the meeting stop in the woods.

Now they might show someone else in wolf form far away because someone had to be in form to hear Jacob and morph back to human and tell the others where to meet Jake

3. page 325-326, Jacob and Bella arrive at the meeting stop and meet Sam, Paul, Jared, and Embry ALL in human form. And Paul wigs out about Bella being there and gets angry and leaps towards them and morphs. Jacob leaps into the air and morphs too. and they run into the woods fighting.

Sam tells Jared and Embry to take Bella to Emily's and he morphs and goes to separate Jacob and Paul

4. They MIGHT show a wolf or two at the beginning to show the wolves trying to save the missing hikers. To foreshadow vampires taking people to lead into Eclipse. They will probably show people telling "rumors" of giant bears


And..........VOILA that is ALL the CGI, wolf scenes. The meadow spotting and fight, Jacob morphing for the meeting, and the confrontation between Jacob and Paul with Sam stepping in.

So it's not like very much of the movie will be CGI. I'm sure the meadow fight will be eh 8 minutes. It won't take long for FIVE wolves to take down ONE vampire. Jake isn't gone long calling the meeting, and the Jacob/Paul fight is cut short because Bella is meeting Emily. They HAVE to show Emily to show the danger of being with a werewolf. She already knows the danger of being with a vampire. But she has to see Emily's scars.

And after she leaves Emily's house a few days later she jumps and BOOM it's to Italy


I guess we'll see if they use any CGI for the scene's in Italy, but if they have good make-up artist's (which they were lacking last time) then maybe they won't need to.

[Sparkle~Girl]

They'll probably do CGI in the Italy scene too. Also, I could see the script showing Jacob's first transformation.

[Spirited Away]

Seriously, ILM? They aren't going to have the budget to get them on New Moon.

ILM are signed on to do New Moon, so that probably means the budget's there, considering they were also the lead VFX house on Twilight. Somebody clearly didn't sit 'til the end of the credits.

And New Moon isn't in production yet, there's still two months left. Most likely there'll be a finished screenplay by then, but as said, the other HoDs don't need the final one to start working, because they've got the submitted draft and novel.

Dear Sparkle, Necross, and Angelixx,

I am sincerely sorry for ripping on you and calling this the worst movie ever as I just walked out of it. It's called The Spirit.

[Angelixx]

^ so hold on this still means that your worst movies ever list goes something like this:


1. the spirit
2. twilight
3-? gigli, epic movie, date movie etc. there's something wrong with that haha

[saveus1011]

1. The Spirit
2. Twilight
3. Resident Evil: Apocalypse

;)

Twilight at least didn't give me the thought "I now like Pearl Harbor."

[Angelixx]

sooooooooooo you liked gigli and date movie then lol??

[Rogue]

*sigh* I wish that boy would learn how to dress a little better. Anyway.

I wonder if Meyer will finish Midnight Sun now and capitalize on the popularity of the movies? I mean, it'd be a good chance for her to do so but wouldn't it be sort of like she was selling out if she did? My friends and I were having this discussion earlier and I wondered what y'all think?

Discuss?

[Angelixx]

anything she does could potentially be selling out. she had plans for midnight sun before the movies were a success so i would say no, i wouldn't validly call it selling out. i dont think she'll write it for a long time though, it kinda sounded like she wanted to distance herself from that universe for a while.

[saveus1011]

sooooooooooo you liked gigli and date movie then lol??

I used to be good at avoiding self-torture. ;)

[Sparkle~Girl]

If she does finish Midnight Sun it won't be any time soon, maybe in 1 or 2 years. It looks like she needs a break and wants to focus on her Host series, which is awesome because I loved that book too.

6 January 2009 11:14 PM, PST

Robert Pattinson's new role as Hollywood's most wanted heartthrob is restricting his screen career - he has been forced to pull out of a new independent film to star in Twilight sequel New Moon.

The British hunk has enjoyed a meteoric rise to stardom since he played the romantic lead in the vampire love-story - which became one of 2008's biggest box office hits.

Studio bosses were eager to sign the star up for a sequel immediately - reportedly offering Pattinson a multi-million deal to tie him into future big screen adaptations of the Stephanie Meyer's cult series of books.

But Pattinson's recurring role in the franchise's next outing New Moon means he won't have time to star in eagerly awaited film Parts Per Billion, which co-stars and is produced by actress Rosario Dawson.

He was scheduled to shoot the movie in early 2009, but studio executives are keen to start the cameras rolling on New Moon in a bid to ride on the success of Twilight. The movie is slated for a 2010 release.

A representative for the actor tells MTV.com, "Unfortunately, the prep time and production schedule on New Moon haven't left enough time for Robert to work on Parts Per Billion in the first quarter of this year."

****ing studio bosses are going to ruin everything. They ****ing act like we are SO stupid that if New Moon doesn't come out in a year everyone is going to ****ing forget what the hell it is when it comes out.

[Matrix_Fan]

He bowed out of the chance to co-star in a movie with Rosario Dawson?! What a silly silly move.

[Dan's_Gurl]

^it doesn't really sound like he had a choice. he was signed for New Moon first.

[Dogbert0228]

A horse that had escaped from a nearby farm galloped into a movie theater in the U.K. on Saturday. The animal only stayed in the theater for about 20 seconds—chances are, it saw that the only open showing was for Twilight ...

...Kevin Eubanks everybody!

[Dan's_Gurl]

It's official. Taylor will be back.

Good news about New Moon from director Chris Weitz:

I'm very happy to announce that Taylor Lautner will be playing Jacob Black in New Moon and that he's doing so with the enthusiastic support of Summit Entertainment, the producers, and Stephenie Meyer.

The characters in Stephenie's books go through extraordinary changes of circumstance and also appearance; so it is not surprising that there has been speculation about whether the same actor would portray a character who changes in so many surprising ways throughout the series. But it was my first instinct that Taylor was, is, and should be Jacob, and that the books would be best served by the actor who is emotionally right for the part. I think that fans of Twilight the book and the movie will be surprised by the Jacob Black that Taylor will bring to the screen in New Moon; and I'm looking forward to working with him and the rest of the cast in realizing the film.

very best

Chris Weitz

I'd just like to add that I was very much a part of this decision. My first priority was always what was best for New Moon—what was going to give us the best possible movie. I'm truly thrilled that Taylor was the one who proved to the director, to Summit, and to me that he is the best possible Jacob we could have. And I'm very much looking forward to seeing what he's going to bring to Jacob's character this year.

Well I for one am glad. You can't change a actor in at the middle of series. No matter how crappy the 1st movie was. Not a Great big fan of Taylor but, he is a cuttie pie with a baby face ( but that was a problem with the casting director in the 1st movie) they should have forseen if there were to be addtional movies they need to cast the proper people ( Mainly the Wolves) for future movies. The boys grow big quick & Fast. You can't cast Eyecandy small boys for the part. Again, another problem with the movie was some of the casting. Eye candy for their target audience( young girls)I am pretty sure that they could have gotten someone older & bigger & just as good looking for the part of jacob. Heck even the new director seen that problem hence his 1st move was to replace Taylor. But, he caved bigtime to tween pressure. & pissed off fans. But, you have to give taylor credit for hitting the gym & bulking up for his advanced role. The boy wants to keep his job.


Is the rumor true that they are planning on chaning New Moon so that Robert has a Much more major role in this movie. Being that this book is more about Jacob the Wolves & Bella & really very little to do with Robert at all in almost the end of the boo? Just wondering because I have been hearing rumbles going on about it.

[Sparkle~Girl]

I swear, if Vanessa Anne Hudgens ends up in this movie, and as one of my favorite characters nonetheless, I will kill someone.

Keep Disney OUT.

[Dan's_Gurl]

^i second that.

[Dan's_Gurl]

Vanessa Anne Hudgens rep denied that she has auditioned for new moon. *sigh of relief*

[Angelixx]

thank GOD

[Sparkle~Girl]

We can rest for now fandom...

Vanessa Hudgens…One More Time With Feeling


So we are about as tired as all of you are on the Vanessa Hudgens did she or didn’t she audition.

Yesterday her management ,when asked by Just Jared, said no. They also linked to a casting call showing the part is not currently being sought. We figured Just Jared had it right because our gut instinct, based on a number of factors, said not possible.

Today Access Hollywood said yes and stood by their source 100% when questioned.

So we thought, OK who would know the answer, and might be willing to give us a quote on the record?"

*Lightbulb…screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg*

So we asked Melissa if Leah Clearwater appeared in her script, because in the novel Leah is barely a blip on the radar. She’s in the spaghetti dinner scene talking on the phone. It seemed to us that they probably wouldn’t be introducing Leah this movie given that fact.

So…drumroll please…according to Melissa Rosenberg, "if Vanessa is auditioning for the role of Leah, she’s written her own pages to read, ’cause I didn’t write ‘em. "



Furthermore, EW, is now backing our what we have been saying.



So for the sake of our sanity, let’s save the Leah obsession for Eclipse where it actually belongs. The main female character that we all want to know about in New Moon isn’t a werewolf at all. It’s a pint-sized vampire with a hell of a wallop named JANE!

[Rogue]

Ugh, when People broke the story about Hudgens auditioning I about spit my coffee all over the place.

Anywho... from stepheniemeyer.com

Or burn it. ;)

[Rogue]

Oh, I figured you would at least find a use for it. You need a coaster, right? Throwing star? Burning it seems a little dramatic, if you ask me. Everything has a purpose.

[Matrix_Fan]

It'll go well with my Resident Evil: Apocalypse coaster. ;)

Heck with that. I'm getting it cause I need a new Ninja Star for my Ninja costume!;)

Since it's a two disc special edition, I can have TWO Ninja Stars!

[Rogue]

It'll go well with my Resident Evil: Apocalypse coaster. ;)

I wholeheartedly agree with that.



I, for one, liked Twilight so I won't be using mine as a coaster or throwing star. I'll use it as a medieval torture device. :) My best friend hates Twilight, says watching it threatens his manhood. :funny: We will be watching it...many times.

[saveus1011]

Forget Comic Con, I'm going to be using this costume to run around the city, killing criminals with sharpened Twilight discs!

[Big-Lead5]

I Just read all 4 books in a week and 2 days i gotta say they were lot better than i thought they be.

MY favorites besides Edward and Bella were Emmet and Alice.

I know shes planing midnight sun with Edwards Point of view in Twilight But is she going do any more after that.Like do we get know what happens with the baby and werewolf.

i wanna know if the Volturi comes back

[Sparkle~Girl]

I, for one, liked Twilight so I won't be using mine as a coaster or throwing star. I'll use it as a medieval torture device. :) My best friend hates Twilight, says watching it threatens his manhood. :funny: We will be watching it...many times.
I'll be doing that with my BF. XD

[Jason Krueger]

So like now I'm scared to see this after hearing complaints from a friend about how bad it was. (They know who they are.)

[Sparkle~Girl]

Why don't you judge by yourself? Don't be scared, it's a movie. :P

[IanTheCool]

So apparently Dakota Fanning may be in the next one? As some Italian vampire?

[Sparkle~Girl]

As Jane, yes. Still a rumor so far. Awaiting confirmation.

[Jason Krueger]

Why don't you judge by yourself? Don't be scared, it's a movie. :P

Yeah I'm still gonna see it of course, I mean it can't be as bad as The Day the Earth Stood Still.

[Necross]

As Jane, yes. Still a rumor so far. Awaiting confirmation.

I think that would be sweet.

[Rogue]

Agreed. I think she's has the acting chops to pull of a convincingly sadistic Jane.

[Panther2000]

Dakota Fanning. Good God, :angry:

I was hoping that they could find someone else & a better actress.

But, thengain, she would need very little makeup. She is pale enough & already looks vampirish.

This is just another nail in the coffin for the up coming movie for me. Damn. Once again very little for cross over appeal ( for bringing in More adults & reaching a bigger audience) .

[Necross]

How can you not like Dakota Fanning? Panther, you never are satisfied with anything involving any book or movie.


McCord Keen To Vamp It Up In Twilight
13 February 2009 5:25 PM, PST

90210 star Annalynne McCord is desperate to land a part in the Twilight sequel - because she's obsessed with vampires.

The actress is hoping producers of New Moon can come to an arrangement with her 90210 bosses and resolve a scheduling conflict, so she can play sexy bloodsucker Heidi, alongside boyfriend Kellan Lutz, in the sequel.

She says, "I haven’t gotten a final yes or no yet, so it’s still up in the air, but my fingers (are) crossed. I’d love to do it. I’m obsessed with vampires."

The character Heidi lures humans to Volturi vampires with her beauty, according to author Stephenie Meyer's books.

Meanwhile, Lutz, who played Emmett in the first Twilight film and will return in the sequel, also co-stars alongside pretty McCord in 90210.

Dakota Fanning is also reportedly a favourite to appear in New Moon when shooting on the sequel starts in Washington state and Italy this spring.

1. Before a single frame of “New Moon” is shot, MTV is thrilled to present an exclusive piece of imagery from the film you all can’t wait to sink your teeth into come November.

So at 10PM tonight, come right back here to the MTV Movies Blog for your first look! And by way the there’s more than just an image you can look forward to. There’s some interesting news in what we’re debuting too. Trust us. You’ll see.

http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2009/02/19/new-moon-exclusive-coming-at-10pm -tonight/

and

2. “Tonight on ET, we’re showing you what no one else can — artwork for the upcoming ‘Twilight’ sequel ‘New Moon’!

Tune in to tonight’s ET to get your first glimpse of materials from the highly anticipated new film from Summit Entertainment. Bella (Kristen Stewart), Edward (Rob Pattinson), Jacob (Taylor Lautner) and the rest of the gang will be back in ‘New Moon,’ in theaters on November 20.”

[Sparkle~Girl]

And so it begins...

Twilight’ Exclusive: ‘New Moon’ Art And Official Title Revealed!

As Juliet once said to Romeo: A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Now, modern-day star crossed lovers Bella Swan and Edward Cullen are getting ready to carry on with their cinematic love affair. But will the second “Twilight” movie smell as sweet now that it has a brand-new name?

MTV News has the scoop on the official name and logo for Chris Weitz’s soon-to-film sequel to “Twilight.” Dubbed “The Twilight Saga’s New Moon,” the film’s official title art stays true to the look of the first movie while swapping in an orange tint, a subtle crescent moon, and the release date of 11.20.09.

Although the look of the new logo will undoubtedly get Twilighter tongues wagging, it’s the five-word official title that is the most prominent variation from Stephenie Meyer’s simple “New Moon.”

With roman numerals now considered taboo in Hollywood, and sequel names like “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer” and “Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li” in vogue, it makes sense that Weitz and crew would label the future films as “The Twilight Saga.” At the risk of reading too much into five words, it also seems to imply that “New Moon” will boast a more epic feel than the first movie.

As for the logo itself, Weitz has chosen to stay with the lowercase lettering, personable font and light-streaks-poking-through look of last year’s hit film. In switching from blue to orange, the movie’s upcoming posters will be instantly distinguishable from those of the original “Twilight” – which should make them look a whole lot cooler when teenage girls all over the world add them to their walls. The presence of orange also begs a new question: Now that blue and orange are taken, which colors should be used for “Eclipse” and “Breaking Dawn”?

It’s one of the most anticipated movies of the year. It’s the next installment in a worldwide phenomenon. And now, it’s called “The Twilight Saga’s New Moon.” Stay tuned, Twilighters, as MTV will continue to bring you all the latest news from now until November.

Emmmmm, not ture at all. & there are Mega tons of people who don't like Dakota at all. Just go to some Adult Movie & Award board & type in the word Dakota & see the mega million of responses that you get. I will say this for her. He won't need any white makeup to play the vampire. Heck even she has stated this.

& I love movies & books. If I don't like & think that it is crap I will call it like it is.

I read these books & liked them enough, ( Found them immature & geard for the Tweenies) but, I was soooo looking forward to the movie. & Then waiting for the reviews on the movie. Well, it the critics got it right. I saw it anyways. Money wasted. Hell even the fans I think felt the same way pretty much. It has no legs at all. after the 1st week it dropped out real quick. Sorry, I am not a 15 or 16 girl crying over robert & Kristen. Hell, even Robert & Kristen are so tired of those characters & they still have 2 more movie to go. I saw A clip of Kristen Promoting another movie & she comes right out & says it. So tired of Bella.

I like the books ok, But, I won't drink the Kool-Aid when it comes to these movies.

I know this is random, but at the IMAX midnight showing of Watchmen, someone had on a Twilight shirt. One of my friends saw it and asked "anyone got a gun?"

I really thought they would take opportunity on this one to make Taylor's hair look better. **sigh** oh well.

well it should get chopped off at some point, so he won't have the wig anymore.

while we're on the subject of hair, i really don't like rosalie's wig.

I can't believe their not combining the last 3 books together, new moon was soooooooooooooooooooooo borning, wahhhhhhhhhh I"m depressed wahhhhhhhhhhhhh, they should skip this one completely

[Kitty]

please, not another twilight.

Your set to endure at least two more movies out of the four book series. You know, an easy way to avoid it is not going to the movie. Believe me, I'm going to take that advice this time around. Is this random photo shoot day or something? Kind of surprised to see everyone on set right away. Either that or they're still trying to put together the last inklings of the script (honestly, at this point with Summit being how they are, I wouldn't be surprised)

haha I'm glad my bitter sarcastic outlook is appreciated ;)

[Sparkle~Girl]

Just a reminder...
Get your DVDs at Midnight tonight! ^^

[Angelixx]

omg thats right haha! i completely forgot it was coming out tonight. Yay spring!

[sshuttari]

I watched it on blu-ray a week back.

I enjoyed it for what it was but I didn't find it amazing or anything...

[Necross]

Thats pretty much my feeling. I'm buying it tomorrow and will be happy, and I'll watch it like I watch all my other movies, and it was a good book movie. The book is much better, but the movie was very well made. Its not on the level of Lord of the Rings as far as book movies go but I thought it did it very good justice and I can't wait to see New Moon.

[sshuttari]

I surprisingly enjoyed this flick, but I think that has a lot to do with kristen stewart and robert pattinson being decent actors. The rest of the movie with the random kids coming in and out of scenes was kind of stupid. Where one person would say something to another person and then disappear for the rest of the scene.

The baseball scenes corny but I didn't hate them as a lot of my friends did, and the battle scene near the end was not as bad as a lot of people have made it out to be. In any case I never realized how beautiful the state of Washington is, granted this probably has a lot to do with the fact I watched on blu-ray and all the scenes with the background of green trees and beautiful scenery is probably looks better on HD then it did on a theatre screen.

I don't really have many complaints of the flick just questions regarding the story and where it goes from here. But I think I'll just wait to see the sequel film whenever they plan to release it.

8/10

FYI I really enjoyed Golden Compass and that's because I've read the "His Dark Material" trilogy.

So I am hoping Chris does another outstanding job with adaptating New Moon.

[Dragon Knight]

I went with my wife to buy this at the midnight release and my thoughts on it are.

When you get past the fact that its a love story lets face it almost every vampire movie ever made is one. The movie is actualy good. Yea a ton of stuff is left out from the book. The acting is ok but a lot of the movie just seems like filler stuff. I would have liked to see more the Vampire family in the movie, and not just them standing in the background.

New Moon comes out in November I think but from what I hear it's more drawn out then this one is. Not a lot of action and a Love Triangle between Bella, Edward, and Jacob.

I do like the movie not as much as my wife does but I agree it gets an 8 but only due to it being so slow up till the fight scene.

[Necross]

Yeah, New Moon in my opinion is the worst of the books, I still liked it, but it is drawn out, the middle is rather slow, the beginning and end are very good though. 3 and 4 will be the best movies in my opinion, I don't care how many fans ***** about part 4, it will translate very well onto the big screen I think I have a feeling they will make the encounter at the end of Breaking Dawn an actual battle to a point.

[Dragon Knight]

The only problem I see with Breaking Dawn is that one charator that is seemly Impossable to make. Even the Author doesn't know how it will work.

[Necross]

They'll figure it out, they can do anything nowadays.

[Big-Lead5]

I Watch twilight it was pretty good but why didn't they add Alice's story

[Necross]

Cuts for time, I blame the studio, its like that with most book movies though. I don't know a single book to movie adaption thats done everything. And in the long run, the bit of story about her in this doesn't play a huge role in the series its more of an interesting tidbit. I woulda loved to see it no doubt but it doesn't hurt the film.

[Big-Lead5]

Gues your right Necross they didn't even have it on Thr Deleted scenes.

Alice, Jasper, Rose, and Emit's back story don't have much impacked to the over all story. So they are left out. The only dleted scene that got me was when Edwarad and Bella are in the medow and he bites her finger, Doesn't he not want to hurt her? so why would they even film that?

I went to school through elementary, junior high and high school with a guy who got cast in the sequel. Tyson Houseman, he got cast as some sort of werewolf. Not familiar with the books, so I'm not sure exactly what he's playing.

New Moon is looking much MUCH better than Twilight so far, probably because of the bigger budget. Too bad there's so much Failcob in this one... -_-

What was the point of this ???? Went to see the movie right before a Ducks/Avs game and boy oh boy did that kill the night. All the Margaritas in the world couldn't fix this mistake.

[Dragon Knight]

well its not for every one. Not every one can like every movie that comes out.

I understand it's for young girls and older lonely older women. I am neither, thank Jeebus!

So I finally saw the film yesterday and while hearing a lot of bad things (you know who you are) I have to say the film was ok, it wasn't good...but it wasn't bad either. As far as I could tell it stuck close to the books, the only thing I noticed that was cut out was the blood biology scene.

And I didn't really like the effects for the vampire speed or the sparkling, just looked a little weird. But besides that it was an alright movie.

7/10

Twilight Is Top-selling Release Of 2009
31 March 2009 5:22 AM, PDT


Hit vampire movie Twilight has topped yet another chart - it is now the biggest home release of the year in the U.S.

The film, which stars Robert Pattinson as a teenage bloodsucker, sold 5.6 million DVDs and Blu-Ray discs in its first week on sale (21-28Mar09) to overtake Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa as the most popular release of 2009.

It follows the movie's huge success in cinemas, when it topped both the U.K. and U.S. box office charts last year with estimated worldwide takings of $376 million (£263 million).

The film's highly-anticipated sequel, New Moon, is due out later this year.

I saw a poster on Yahoo Movies with Rob Patterson wearing a coat and a castle in the background, is this fan made or did they release a new post?

[Sparkle~Girl]

It's a fan-made poster. There are no posters for New Moon yet.

Can anyone tell me whats the main story about New Moon. Does it profile the werewolves more or does it go into why the two clans hate each other. For i hear Ed is more savage which scares Bella. So my guess is he does something bad to her new friends.

Actually, there was an extensive rewrite a few weeks ago and Lionsgate and Summit are going to merge this with the next Crank film. Apparently Chev Chelios (Jason Statham) is injected with some African bat virus and the only way to stay alive is by drinking vampire blood. They will title it Crank: New Moon.

Funny i am serious cause haven't read the books and not sure want too since seen the movie first.
