New Moon On It’s Way

by Liam on November 23, 2008 · Comments

On Friday Twilight was released in the US and earned a whooping $35.7 million, which was the second biggest opening day gross outside of summer after Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, which grossed $40.4 million on its first Friday in November 2005. After those big numbers it doesn’t really matter whether it was any good or not (it has a Rotten 44% on Rotten Tomatoes), therefore Summit Entertainment are moving forward with the sequel, New Moon.

From the press release:

Summit Entertainment announced today that the studio is officially moving forward with the production of NEW MOON, the second installment of its filmed franchise TWILIGHT, the action-packed, modern day vampire love story. The movie will be based on the second novel in author Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series titled, New Moon. The first movie in the TWILIGHT franchise, the self-titled TWILIGHT, arrived in theaters this weekend to sold-out showings.

Stephenie Meyer stated, “I don’t think any other author has had a more positive experience with the makers of her movie adaptation than I have had with Summit Entertainment. I’m thrilled to have the chance to work with them again on NEW MOON.”

    best movie ever made i went and seen it twice

    Worst Vampire I've ever seen and I like the books. The actors lacked any charisma with the exception of Jacob. Way too many uncomfortable staring (like the end of a smallville episode). For that matter it felt like a tv movie. I really wished they would have fleshed out the out the rest of the cullens, they barely had any lines.

    BESTTT MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN ...i loved all the books and i felt the movie really did an exellent job bringing it to lifee....I AM OBSESSED..especially with edward :) cant wait for new moon
  • Ashley
    I believe they could have extended to movie so that it lined up with the book. Things weren't as she has described. I do believe they need to do better on New Moon. This movie was good nontheless, even though the facts weren't all lined up. I will be looking forward to New Moon. =]
  • courtney:The movie and the book twilght were wonderful! Although the book was better with more detail.
    tory:I think that the movie producers should stick with the script from the book

  • Nisi
    As Edward Cullen proclaims, "Are you afraid". Well, I'm not but I am afraid of falling in love I love my Brooklyn Boy but Edward is EeDdWwAaRrDd.
  • Kaitlyn
    I agree with that, I don't like Jacob very much.
  • Kayla
    i really loved it
    the characters were very attractive as told in the books
    and Jackson rathbone did an excellent job of showing his fear of attacking bella and his avoidance to her
    Jacob's teeth were VERY white and Nickki Reed did a wonderful job of showing her hate for bella
    Edward was pitiful as in the books
    Carlisle was very caring and charasmatic
    BRAVO!!!!
  • I LOVE THIS MOVIE! .. i dont wach many movies but now this one i went t wach again 4 more times..the only letdown was that they didnt include the scene i the airport and they skipped parts i would have liked to see..i red new moon yesterday and i am reading eclipse between riting and i do think that new moon was not as good as twilight tho i like eclipse better than the rest and i cant wait to start readin breaking dawn and then when she publishes midnight sun i am just gonna freak I LOVE TWILIGHT!

  • Some suggestions for Summit and Catherine, if they ever read these blogs. You are definitely in need of a new screen winter/writers. My suggestions would be firstly, the very top of the list, Grant Cogswell, and whoever else writes for “Bones”. They are able to portray chemistry without touching, action, humor, and everything else that is so desperately needed for Twilight and the rest of the books. Gavin Scott could possibly collaborate with him, he wrote for The Mists of Avalon, which was very well put together.

    Also, I think Catherine needs a partner to collaborate with on the directing. My suggestion would be Mark Hanlon, and John Pogue. They directed Ghost Ship and did a great job. She can still be the “main” person, but also have another talented perspective that has already had success as well.

    These changes should seriously be taken into consideration and thought about honestly, unless keeping it an “all woman” thing is more important than anything else.
  • . When watching Kristen doing an interview, she wants/feels she can do better roles for herself. This was disappointing when I heard her say that the role she is waiting to get, a book she read, would be the best thing to ever happen to her, after she dropped all the lawyers ect that were negotiating. WHY would she express that when promoting Twilight? She didn’t even read the books, and just acted. Per her words. Why wouldn’t she prepare for the movie, knowing how many books were selling? And she seriously shouldn’t smoke pot while filming. That contributes to lack of personality, and lethargy. The very last scene, I DID see potential in her, but again, in watching her interviews, she just didn’t seem too thrilled about playing Bella, when this character is kick-starting her career in a serious way. Catherine should not cast Nikki in everything she does. Nikki just did not fit the role of Rosalie in anyway. But this is irreleva nt now. I did LOVE Alice, Jasper, Charlie, Carlisle, Esme and Emmett. Wonderful choices there. They all did so well with what small parts they had.
  • i do like the drawn out chemistry. What REALLY got my attention in the movie and kept me waiting for more was when Edward said, “hell o”, and introduced himself. I loved the different ways Catherine watched him through Bella’s eyes, his wry smiles, smirks, his eyes, that, I DO give, her was great, and I was hoping for more of those scenes. They are better than the make-out scenes people want you to jump to. But, to point out, in case it’s failed anyone’s attention, Edward, despite all of his passion, is a gentleman, and wants to do everything correctly for Bella. He and Bella do NOT have actual SEX, until they are MARRIED. Another big plus for this story believe it or not. The chemistry, and flirting, and interactions between them but not acting on, leave this sweet, intense, frustration, but it’s very wonderful.
