New Moon

http://i41.tinypic.com/2yx3amo.jpg
Scheduled for a November 27th release for the UK and November 20th for the US.

[MrGaryy]

I can;t wait for the soundtrack lol. There have been so many great artists rumoured, Madonna, My Chemical Romance, Jonas Brothers and personally I hope Paramore contribute again.

In terms of the movie I'm a bit meh towards it as New Moon is my least favourite of all the books.

[BigSister]

Im gonna have to read the book first this time as i didnt before I went to see Twlight

[Sarah.]

YAAAAY. Can't wait! I really enjoyed the book.

[MarkWaldorf]

Finally starting the book properly this time and can't wait to finish it.

[Hugo]

Can't wait.

[melanie]

They're filming in my city at a couple local high schools. Teenage girls gone crazy.

[Firewire]

Never seen the first 1 or never read the books.

[Harry!]

Never watched Twilight, I will only watch New Moon if Madonna does the soundtrack.

[M X]

I can't wait for the film, and kind of think it's funny Dakota Fanning is going to be in it.

That video isn't rocky plus Madonna's style just doesn't fit. It'd be weird.

ew twilight.

[Tom4784]

Okay but she doesn't fit as an artist, she's not relevant to a young audience anymore. It'd be like Bob Geldof soundtracking the next Disney film or something.

You are not an audience though. You alone would not generate the profits that the Twilight album made. Soundtracking a film is serious as music can serve to create the mood and emotion in a film, the music is also picked and created carefully so that the Soundtrack album will be liked by a film's target audience so they'll buy it. Putting Madonna on would not appeal to a young audience as she doesn't suit the tone of the film at all. I know a fair bit about marketing and media Harry.

She still wouldn't fit, I can't explain why but she wouldn't. It's her as a person she just wouldn't fit into a teen vampire film no more. It'd be like Miley Cyrus doing the soundtrack for A Clint Eastwood film. I'm not being nasty i'm just saying.

[Ninastar]

I well cant wait to see it! My friend and I are gunna see it in cinema! I am sooooooo excited! Its like 6 months! THATS TOO LONGGGG x Does anyone know if eclipse and breaking dawn will be films too?? x

dont tease me/

[pinkmichk]

i love that poster i cant wait for the film even though new moon is my least fav book (not enough edward:love: for my liking )
as for music no way would madonna be on it that would just be ridiculous and personally i dont think watching new moon alone without twilight would make much sense espically if not read the books (read them first) anyway there is a track on the new prodigy album called run with the wolves which is pretty damn apt for the film

[Benji]

I cant wait for this film. it looks soo good! :D

[MrGaryy]

TRAILER!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-v3Xrnwu-Po&feature=player_embedded

[pinkmichk]

i love the trailer and am quite excited about the papercut scene as thats one of my fav bits in the book

Oh, well one of the twiwizard characters was 26. :laugh:

[Hugo]

The trailer is WOW.

[Ninastar]

Omg amazing! and OMFG HE IS SO SEXY!! I cant beleive I thought he was ugly!!!!

[MrGaryy]

AWW:

Paramore have hinted that it is unlikely that they will contribute any further songs to the Twilight franchise.

The rockers, who contributed two tracks to last year's vampire romance, told MTV News that they are more than happy to let other artists take over.

"We're not the Twilight house band... just making that statement now," explained frontwoman Hayley Williams.

"I'm a fan of the series and I think that Stephenie Meyer is a great author, and I'm excited to see the films, but we kind of did what we did for Twilight and I feel like it's time to let other people [contribute]."

My Chemical Romance recently dismissed speculation that they will write a song for New Moon, saying that they are "very choosy" about which soundtracks they contribute to.

DS.

grr, I loved Paramore's songs on the Twilight soundtrack.

[MarkWaldorf]

i thought they were doing the new moon song?

[MrGaryy]

I thought this was in order as the Book Discussion thread is getting crowded with movie talk and the New Moon thread seems to have died so here feel free to discuss all thing vampire and werewolf, future installments and past movies.

[MrGaryy]

Harry Potter star Tom Felton has again laughed off speculation that he is considering a role in the third Twilight instalment.

The actor, who plays Draco Malfoy in the magical series, was rumoured to be in contention for the part of Riley in the highly-anticipated Eclipse.

Speaking to J-14, he said: "I heard that, I have no idea [where it came from]. The internet is a great source for rumours!

"My agent's ear is to the ground so you never know what's going to happen. I'd be thrilled to join that franchise!"

When asked who would win in a fight between Draco and Twilight's Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), he replied: "I think Edward has got me there! Draco's a wimp! He has no chance against that guy."

Felton was first linked to the pivotal role in June, although screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg recently admitted that she wanted Fighting star Channing Tatum to land the part.

DS

aww such a pity, i think Tom would have made the perfect Riley :( much better than Channing Tatum.

[pinkmichk]

:hello: i really cant wait

[MrGaryy]

neither can I especially as the story of New Moon is so much more exciting than Twilight.

I can't WAIT to see the Volturi scenes.
we're getting a new trailer July 24!!

[Sarah.]

I loved New Moon, so I can't wait to see the movie. I think it'll be better than the first.

[pinkmichk]

i cant wait for the 24th i'm hoping to see a bit of volturi action and some wolf pack action too new moon is my least fav book (pretty much due to the lack of edward)
apparently they doing the film a little different
there will be more edward he wont just be a voice in bellas head but will come as like a vision in her head

[MrGaryy]

yeah so do I sarah.

i was just wondering if they're gonna incorporate Jacob's epilogue at the end of Eclipse in the movie. They might do it like they did with the scene with Victoria at the end of Twilight.

[pinkmichk]

that would be good if they did set the scene ready for eclipse does anyone know how far in advance you can get tickets cos me and my friend are planning on going oh and there is only 126 til its here:laugh:

[MrGaryy]

I'm not sure but my friend is thinking of going to the premiere!
I'd love to go too, I might talk my parents around.

[pinkmichk]

i would love to go to the premier
eclipse filming starts aug 14th i think it is

[pinkmichk]

just seen this on facebook its a movie still i havent seen before so guessing it could be part of the slow leaking stuff now leading up to 24th july for the new trailer

you can just smell the sexual tension coming off that pic in waves :hugesmile:

[MrGaryy]

oooer! loving the look of that. I can;t wait to see the cliff diving scene.

[pinkmichk]

cliff diving is one of the parts along with motorbike riding that i hope they kept in my other fav part i know is in cos its in the trailer (the papercut bit)

[Christina]

I should really try finishing the 1st and 2nd book before watching this film haha.

well all those parts are totally essential anyway, they can;t tell the story with out them. the cliff diving scene is what prompts Edward to go to Italy and the motorbike scenes are Bella's whole plot to be reckless, plus they're a bit of a running gag throughout the saga, Jacob uses them for revenge at the end and uses them as an excuse for his injuries in Eclipse.

I saw the trailer in the cinema yesterday when I went to see HP, it was so exciting seeing it on the big screen, me and my friend were like squealing LOL. And my other friend said 'I really wanna see this even though I don't like the books!'

so yay!

i wonder how they will do the victoria on the water bit
i gotta say i've seen some pics of the wolf pack and while i couldnt be a team jacob i could be wolfpack girl:love:

[MrGaryy]

I'm thinking they might just put a dash of crimson moving across the water as IIRC all Bella saw was the red hair flying across the water.

[pinkmichk]

i'm just watching twilight again and something is bugging me the meadow in twilight is seemingly right behind the school and we know from new moon trailer that bella is there with laurent and in new moon it takes her ages to find it so how are they going to backtrack that one in the film cos its another key part of the film i would have thought

[pinkmichk]

and i forgot in twilight there is not one mention of the volturi but when alice gets her vision bella knows what italy means without need for explanation

[MrGaryy]

ooh I never noticed that. the meadow in the NM trailer looks way bigger than the one they used in Twilight. and of course the whole ordeal of them ****ing up that scene by having it that Bella see Jacob transform.

[pinkmichk]

it does doesnt it the new moon trailer one looks huge much more like the baseball field in twilight than the meadow
oh and in the trailer the jacob bit and laurent bits are actually 2 seperate parts taylor confirmed this in a interview i was a bit confused first time i saw it

[Tom4784]

I'm looking foward to it, I wanna see the Volturi vamps.

[pinkmichk]

me too i dont think there has been any leaked pics of them unlike the vamps (obviously) and the wolfpack

[pinkmichk]

just seen this interview from new moon director can i just say the romantic in me is so happy about the proposal :lovedup:

sorry its a bit long but got lots of exciting info in
When HitFix, along with a few other outlets, had the opportunity to visit the set for the highly-anticipated "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" this past may, one important crew member we didn't have the chance to talk to was the director, Chris Weitz.

Having spoken with the always kind and professional Weitz about his previous film "The Golden Compass" and having worked with him way back when on the online campaign for "Down to Earth," I knew he was seriously busy if he couldn't stop to chat. And considering how frantic the shooting schedule for "New Moon" was, we took the production at their word that he'd speak to us down the road. This week, that promise came to fruition and Weitz was relaxed and open as he took a break from editing the "Twilight" sequel. The entire transcript of the interview is below, but here are some newsworthy items he revealed.

*Even Weitz was surprised with how quickly Phil Tippet's company turned around the Jacob wolf shot at the end of the first teaser trailer. The shot has gone through numerous iterations and is much more photorealistic than that version.
*He'll be submitting a director's cut of the film to Summit within the next two weeks.
*Alexandre Desplat is currently working on the movie's score. It may include hints at Carter Burwell's original "Twilight" theme, but will sound different.
*Thom Yorke and Kings of Leon are interested in contributing to the film's soundtrack.
*A couple of new scenes from the film will be shown during the "New Moon" Comic-Con panel on Thursday, July 23.
*The movie within a movie, "Facepunch," will only be heard -- not seen.
*Shooting in Italy with all of the fans that trekked across Europe to see the production was like Beatlemania.
*His vision of the Volturi is very much like the book and unlike a number of fan inspirations that have hit the web. He also sees them as having gone slightly insane after living for 2,000 years.
*He's met with David Slade and expects the filmmaker's vision for "Eclipse" to be different than what he's doing with "New Moon," but with the same actors and visual effects team.
*He's flattered that fans want him to direct "Breaking Dawn" without seeing "New Moon," but thinks the fans will want Slade to do it by the time "Eclipse" comes out.
*Weitz needs to turn the film in by Oct. 30 to strike prints or if not, they are in "big trouble" to make the release date.

Look for Day One of HitFix's journey to "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" set tomorrow and Day Two on Saturday. Additional interviews with cast members will also be posted tomorrow morning.

Thank you for being interested or pretending to be at least.

Q: The day we were on set you shooting in the headquarters of the Italian vampires.

Yes, that's a gigantic sets.

Q: Just so you know, I purposely don't read the books because I want to enjoy the franchise as a moviegoer...

Many people purposely don't read the books. They are called men. (Laughs.)

Q: Can you talk about that then? What was your interest in coming on board a franchise that predominately been more popular with women then men?

Actually, in that regard my brother and I often end up doing movies whose audiences are predominantly women or tipping point of success relies on a female audience. Even 'American Pie.' I think the thing that distinguishes it more than the gross-out humor, because there is a lot of that going on. The way we tooled it was so that girls could be interested in it as well. And, in as much as the 'Twilight' series has a great appeal to women, I think it really concentrates on the emotions of the central character and romance and I think that unfortunately that the studio system has not been very good at getting boys to be interested in. They think and maybe incorrectly, that the male gender is interested in just thing blowing up. And I don't think that's true. I certainly didn't make this movie towards only girls or women being interested in seeing it. There is a lot for diverse audiences including older audiences than the first one drew. Really, we are drawn to the cast. I thought the central cast were great and I wanted to work with them and it also employed some skills that I picked up along the way including working with special effects and working with younger actors and working on emotionally structured stories.

Q: 'Twilight' is very emotional at its core, but it also has a lot of CG elements. Would you say you are in a comfort zone? Is this familiar ground?

Right, I'm never really in a comfort zone making a movie which is a discomfort zone, because you're always working under pressured circumstances, because you don't have an unlimited amount of time or money to do these things. There were a number of things I was familiar with -- familiar enough so that I could do what I think is really important which is not to foreground the special effects for the action elements, but to make those kind of settle into the story. You never really want someone to watch a movie and go, 'Wow, those were great special effects.' You hope they won't notice the majority of what you are doing. Obviously, people are going to notice horse-sized wolves and realize on some level they are special effects, but they are photorealistic and they should be as expressive as a good actor if possible. So, in terms of kind of wrangling that sort of process it is something I am used to.

Q: In terms of the effects, I think everyone on this call was probably stunned after we'd been on set and we'd talked to the producer and he was like 'We're still working on some of the designs for the wolfpack' and I think it was like two or three weeks later we saw the first trailer and that great shot at the end. Have you ever worked in such a quick process from beginning to end?

It is. I myself was surprised Phil Tippet's company was able to turn out that wolf shot and I think they kind of did that as a matter of institutional pride that they could. Even that shot that was in the trailer has gone through 20-30 iterations since then, but they have done a really extraordinary job and Phil Tippet is a complete genius. He's responsible for the walkers in 'Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back' and he's kind of one of the legends of the visual effects community and it pretty amazing what they have been able to do on such short notice. We are working at kind of breakneck speed at the same time as trying to achieve something really quite elegant as well. It's not just Tippet, it's Frantic/CBS (LOOK UP) which is headed up by Mike Fink who is my old friend who was the visual effects supervisor on 'Golden Compass' which won the Oscar the year it came out. So, yeah, working very fast, but we're also trying to work as beautifully as possible to make these effect kind of settle into the amazing cinematography that Javier Aguirresarobe brought us. We are kind of moving at light speed,but trying to deliver something that's really elegant and beautiful.

Q: Just to follow that up, can you tell us how far along you are to completion right now?

I am about two weeks away from showing the director's cut to the studio. I've got some wolves with fur. Some wolves are still invisible basically and some wolves are like -- you've all probably seen the claymation versions. We are still in the light RD phases of what Edward looks like when he's hit -- what the vampires look like when he's hit with light and the diamond effect. Also, the kind of hallucinatory effect Bella has when she hears Edward's voice and she imagines him there. And then we are Alexandre Desplat has just started working on his music for the film. And we are just starting to put together what acts will be on the soundtrack, so it's kind of like keeping ten plates spinning at once, but it's all good because we've got Alexander Desplat who I think is one of the greatest film composers living and because of the kind of the strength of the franchise that I inherited, a lot of bands are really interested in working on the soundtrack and we got visual effects people. And that just leaves me hopefully not dropping the ball in terms of editing together the story.

Q: Sounds like a lot.

It is a lot, and with Comic-Con on the 24th were we are going to show a couple of scenes to whoever can get in that auditorium. And yeah, it's a lot to be getting on with, but it's fun at the same time.

Q: In regards to the music, will Alexander Desplat be using Carter Burwell's theme at all?

I think, y'know, yes, because like any franchise there are certain themes that become familiar. I suspect he's going to transpose it in some manner and most of the music will be entirely new to the franchise, because his style is somewhat different from Carter Burwell's, but I think there is some value to having a familiar -- I believe the words are 'light motifs' -- running through the entire series.

Q: Really quickly on the music. The first movie probably made Paramore as a band. Were you surprised by the number of acts wanting to be on the sequel and have you had to turn anybody down?

Well, fortunately I'm not at the stage where I have to turn anybody down yet, because everything is still kind of up in the air, but I am surprised by some of the bands that have said they are interested. It's kind of great. The criteria will still be what's right for the movie at that given moment, but y'know, Thom Yorke is interested. We might, if we're very lucky, get Kings of Leon to do something. So, it's exciting to have access to this kind of talent.

Q: Can you talk about the mini-movie 'Facepunch' that plays on the three-way date?

Yeah, well, actually nobody is starring in that. The funny thing is I had to come up wit h the name of the movie, within the movie. In the first one I think was named in the book -- I think it's 'Crossfire' -- or 'Crosshairs' or something like that couldn't be cleared because it had already been used. And you'd be shocked at the number of stupid action movie names that have been turned into movies. So, I eventually turned in a list of ten to Summit's lawyers and they had to see which ones they could go and clear. "Facepunch" was actually one of two of ten they cleared. And I chose that over "Kill Hunt." I can actually go and make 'Kill Hunt'.' And it was always the joke between me and my brother that there should be a movie called 'Facepunch' which is just about people punching each other in the face. It's kind of a movie within the movie. It's the least romantic thing Bella can go to because her friend essentially asks her on a date and she wants nothing romantic to happen at all.

Q: Did Stephenie give you any thoughts on that?

Well, she gave me a T-shirt with the 'Facepunch' logo on it. She's kind of a fan of popular culture as well or the absurdity of popular culture, so I think she was kind of tickled by the name of the movie.

Q: Will it be on the DVD?

The movie itself? (Laughs.) Sadly, there is no 'Facepunch' although maybe that's something the fans should be left to make. You'll hear the sounds of 'Facepunch' which will be a lot of people being shot and hacking each other to bits. In a way there are a few other imaginary movies that are referred to within this movie in the way that is satirizes other genre films in a very brief and lighthearted way. And this is the example of the stupidest possible action movie imaginable.

Q: Chris, there is a Rotten Tomatoes mention in the book for this scene. Do you know if it stayed in the movie?

I'm afraid it didn't. I don't think the reason would be because of Rotten Tomatoes, but Summit Entertainment got in trouble for using some cards from a casino in the first movie and they are very careful about not quoting any existing property. Probably if we had bothered to go and ask you guys would have said, 'Yeah, that's really cool.' And some lawyer would have said, 'Oh, it doesn't matter' and all that sort of stuff. So, I'm afraid not. It might have been because of the Tomatometer response to 'Golden Compass' as well. (Laughs.) It lowered my overall Tomatometer score.

Q: Was there a lot of pressure in taking on a project that's become a huge cultural phenomenon?

Yeah, definitely there is. It's largely self-imposed because the fans are tremendously supportive and very kind. One of the things thats interesting about the 'Twilight' fans is that they are not like fans boys who start cynical. They actually begin from the point-of-view of being enthusiastic and wanting things to be good and done well. I do feel a tremendous amount of responsibility to the readership than to the movie franchise in a way, because I think that's the core experience you are trying to get at. Someone reading the books for the first time, but just galloping through it for the first time when one reads books when you're younger and you are completely absorbed in it. To try and provide an experience that kind of compliments that. That means keeping in very good touch with Stephenie without trying to second guess ones self. Thinking about things to a degree of loyalty to the fans.

Q: What was your favorite scene to shoot?

There were a lot of fun scenes to film frankly. I really did enjoy the sequence in the Volturi headquarters, although it's a tremendous logistical headache. In a way, it's the scenes that you dread the most because they are so time consuming and you have to get it just right which is like the stuff in the Volturi headquarters, that has to be my favorite sequence because it is kind of the high point of the movie when Bella goes to try and stop Edward from killing himself. We had 1,000 extras in this medieval town square in this little town in Tuscany in the most beautiful country on earth and it's just an extraordinary opportunity to work there. It was also kind of surreal, because every 'Twilight' fan could make it from all over continental Europe and even further and had gotten by hook or by crook to Montepulciano, [Italy] and booked a hotel room. Sometimes in the very hotel room in which the cast and crew were staying. So, there was this weird Beatlemania thing sort of going on in this very small, beautiful hill town. So, for five days it was this bizarre festival atmosphere. And it really wasn't bothersome at all. It was incredible gratifying that all these people would applaud after every take whether or not we'd screwed it up. They had no idea because they weren't close enough to hear. If you looked down any alley in which the camera wasn't pointing you'd see hundreds of these young girls who had come to touch a piece of what they really loved.

Q: Can you talk about what it was like to work with the cast after they'd already played these parts before?

Well I always go into any movie that a competent actor is going to know about as much or more about what their character is about than I will even if it isn't a franchise, because that's their job. But that's especially the case when they have already played these characters falling in love. They have kind of lived with the characters and the franchise for quite awhile. I'm mean you'd have to ask the actors if what I say is true, but my first job is to talk to them and listen to them about what they thought about the script and what they thought their characters would be up to. And to kind of work along with them. Obviously, it was going to be a different experience for them. It was going to be a different kind of movie, because in a way I'm a lot more old fashioned than Catherine Hardwicke in terms of my film tastes and in terms of the way the film was going to turn out. So, it was sort of just a balancing act between respecting everything they brought to the table and the characters and what they did and what I thought I could bring. Also, it was kind of great to be with Taylor as he went from a character that had three small scenes in the first movie and only worked three days on the first movie or something to one of the dominant characters in the movie. That was a really fun process because he's a really great guy. Actually, all of the kids as I like to call them because I'm 39 and that sort of makes me twice their age were fun to work with and clever and smart and thoughtful about it.

Q: Can you tell us about the proposal scene at the end of the book? Fans are worried that it's either been altered or cut out of the film. Can you address those concerns?

They haven't been cut out. I can tell you that much. It's not going to hit them the exact way they think it's going to, but I will say -- how can I put it? It's going to be quite special. I could have saved all of my gusto for that moment. I don't think it will disappoint.

Q: Can you tell us about your vision for the Volturi?

No matter how strange one of the characters is in a work of fantasy, I think you have to approach them as people and then so you start to think, 'Oh they've been around for 2,000 years. How would they interact with one another?' The conclusion was that after 2,000 years you'd probably be more than mildly insane. No matter how cultured or gracious you appear on the surface. And I think that's what Michael Sheen managed to portray in portraying Aro, the head of the Volturi, in that on the surface he's terribly gracious, warm, a wonderful host and at the same time he's absolutely lethal and frightening. It's also what Dakota [Fanning] conveys as Jane. She's sort of this in appearance innocent looking, harmless looking almost teenager, but she's absolutely deadly. The first thing I wanted to do was put them in a setting that wasn't Dracula's castle. I feel like that's been done. There have been so many vampire movies and werewolf movies and horror movies where everything has been dark and dreary and everything is blue or green or something like that. Instead, their headquarters is surprisingly light and crisp. And the characters that they play have a kind of a tactile reality to them in spite of how bizarre their situation is really. The whole point is not to leave kind of Forks, Washington where everything has really been quite realistic and then suddenly go to a location that completely throws you out of the movie. So, that's the difficult balance to achieve. And the set although it's huge and grand and magnificent actually kind of feels like a real place. One always has the option in these kind of situations of shooting everything in green screen and adding everything later. I've done that before, but in this case it felt really important to actually build something that surrounded the characters that they could interact with and had a real sense of existing in a real space.

Q: There is a lot of fan speculation about what the Volturi will actually look like and from what I've read or seen from photoshop manipulations people have done, they are really off the mark. Curious, will we see the Volturi in any of the upcoming trailer or publicity stills or is that secret until the movie comes out?

I think there will be some publicity stills about them coming out eventually and I'm not sure whether they will be in the trailers or not. I think essentially our aim was to make them look like what they look like in the book and not to be too fancy. I think that y'know it was very important to [Stephenie] that the werewolves transform very quickly, they look like wolves and we not have this kind of magical Lon Chaney-esque long transformations and I think the reason behind that is to give a sense of their reality. I think that was important to the Volturi as well. They are not levitating off the ground, they are not surrounded by mystical auroras, they are creatures that actually exist and they are very specific. They are very stylish, they are very elegant, they are very dangerous, but essentially it's very faithful to the book.

Q: Would you talk about these rumors or fan speculation or hopes that you might come back to direct 'Breaking Dawn'? And is there any carryover between 'New Moon,' 'Eclipse' and 'Breaking Dawn' in terms of planning?

Let me see, I think it's really charming that having not seen 'New Moon' people would be enthusiastic about me wanting to do 'Breaking Dawn.' That's really -- y'know I think the proof is in the pudding and they should see it before they decide there is anything else they want me to do. But I would hope to earn that kind of rumor. We haven't really spoken with Summit about that. All I knew is that I would be too tired to do 'Eclipse' and that somebody else take it over as well so that they could put their own imprint on it. Also, the way the films are being shot would have precluded it anyway. In terms of the planning. David Slade came in while we were still shooting 'New Moon' and I showed him everything I could to sort of give him a sense of what direction we were going. He is going to take it into whatever way he wants to, because he's his own guy and will have his own style and particular take on things. But, just as I was inheriting certain things from Catherine Hardwicke, he's going to inherit certain things from me and make the choice whether he's going to keep them or alter them. So, we have had discussions about -- Tippet is going to do the wolves for 'Eclipse' so there is a continuity for the look of the werewolves and obviously the cast is going to remain the same. Dakota is Jane and all the Volturi are the same people who you are familiar with, but other than that it's sort of David Slade's show to run on 'Eclipse' and by the time that comes out they will probably want him to do 'Breaking Dawn,' not me. I would certainly consider it, but it's funny. I find all my time avoiding the internet, because I end up getting into arguments with 15-year-olds in Germany and I have to concentrate on making the movie, so I don't even know the positive rumors out there. I don't know the negative rumors, I don't know the positive rumors. I"m just trying to do the best job I can, but it's really sweet that people would like me to do that. I think that's very cool.

Q: Do you think 'Breaking Dawn' would be very doable?

No, it a tough one. I mean, yes it's doable. Anything is doable, but it's a hard one, because the series gets more and more ambitious as it goes along. Yes, it's doable. Anything is doable.

Q: Chris, real quick, what's your drop dead due date that you have to turn the film in to make the release date?

Ironically, I think it's the day before Halloween. I believe Oct. 30 is our drop dead date. It's our time to start striking the prints or we're in big trouble.

A relatively unknown Australian actor has landed a pivotal role in the third instalment of the Twilight franchise, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Xavier Samuel is reported to have signed on to play Riley, a college student who becomes part of vampire Victoria's (Rachel Lefevre) revenge plan against Bella (Kristen Stewart).

The 25-year-old has appeared in a series of films in his home country, including Newcastle and Road Train. This will mark his first US acting role.

Earlier this week, Harry Potter star Tom Felton laughed off speculation that he would be starring as Riley in the highly-anticipated movie but admitted that he would be open to the opportunity if it came along.

Screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg had previously revealed that she wanted G.I. Joe star Channing Tatum to take on the character.

Eclipse is scheduled to begin filming in August for a June 2010 release.

If so, I'll leave and never come back! LOL

[pinkmichk]

lol
dont think that has been but i just read it on a blog

[MrGaryy]

[pinkmichk]

and our friend who hates the books said she wanted to see it even though she didn't like the books cos it looked good from the trailer.

[pinkmichk]

[MrGaryy]

I didn't think they'd get anyone well known for the role since it's quite a small one, unless they expand upon it in the film.

[Tom4784]

I wanna see the Volturi Vampires, there hasn't been much shown about them.

[pinkmichk]

another still (there is more when you follow this link) but wow at this the papercut scene is one of my fav new moon parts
http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/photo.php?pid=2183017&id=8526405673&ref=nf

i am blog stalking like mad to get some details from comic con i'll share as soon as i find anything

[pinkmichk]

:hello: official site is here looks good and lots to look at
http://www.newmoonthemovie.com/

[MarkWaldorf]

me and my friend squealed when the new moon trailer came on today in the cinema :love: everyone looked at us like wtf.

[pinkmichk]

i'd love to see it on big screen cant see me getting to cinema at least not to a film that would be showing the trailer
according to the blogs rob said in the press conference earlier that clip they will be showing is one of his ghostly voice in bellas head ones but as of yet there isnt any more info but i am still blog stalking

[pinkmichk]

i've just read that the clip shown is alice and bella rushing to save edward with edward taking his shirt off *SQUEE* no video as yet but i'm doing my best to find one

[pinkmichk]

this is from someone who was there they showed 2 clips but were very strict over no filming when clips shown but on the new site says media an film clips when you go to it says coming soon

the first one was when Bella gets on the motorcyle for the first time. Bella gets on the bike, Jacob is adjacent to her. He’s teaching her how to clutch and hold the breaks. As she starts to understand he lets go. He tells Bella to let off the clutch, when all of a sudden you see ghost Edward reach down and clutch one of the handles on the bike. Bella reacts and Jacob says “What’s wrong?”. Bella replies “nothing” and gets rolling. When Bella is riding there are flashes of Edward. She crashes, starts to bleed, and then Jacob takes off his shirt to stop the bleeding.

- the second one goes right into the chase. Bella is twitching and freaking out the entire time while Alice is driving with a scarf on her head. They zoom past lots of red cloaked figures. Bella wonders what’s up and Alice explains it’s St. Marcus Day. Bella gets stopped multiple times to find the clock tower. She stops at the water fountain and finally sees Edward. She scrambles, and sees Edward between two huge doors. His shirt is slightly unbuttoned. You see Bella run with full force in slow motion. She does a heroic jump when she leaps into the fountain while yelling “No Edward don’t! No!”. You see a shot of Edward’s foot and a bit of sunlight. As his foot gets just an inch away from the sun light, it suddenly cuts to “NEW MOON”.

booo :( i wanted one.

It has to come out soon if it's released in November, A proper trailer is always released a few months before the film comes out.

Two OFFICIAL NEW CLIPS from ComicCon - they were premiered there last night by the cast.

I AM SO EXCITED. <3

[pinkmichk]

there is still a trailer due in august so maybe some volturi and wolf pack action in that
but to the matter at hand those clips :cheer2::cheer2::cheer2: wow you can tell the budget was bigger the motorbike one is fab i love the ghostly edward and while i'm not a taylor/jacob fan he did look hot
the second video :lovedup: rob looks so hot and i think kristens acting has got better
and i gotta it admit i just teared up watching them i am going to need shares in kleenex come november

[MarkWaldorf]

aww!!

[Christina]

Omg them look amazingg!!!

[MarkWaldorf]

IKR Christina

[Christina]

Haha! Just made my mate watch Twilight [she's never seen it before] and she loved it sooo much :D

[MarkWaldorf]

Yay for Christina's friend losing her Twilight virginity.

[pinkmichk]

i've done a bit of searching and managed to find this pic of dakota in her jane costume
http://www.shockya.com/news/2009/06/01/first-photo-of-dakota-fanning-as-jane/

[MarkWaldorf]

Not what I imagined :shocked: I still think she's too young for the role of Jane.

[pinkmichk]

but both jane and alec are really young compared to the likes of aro in the books

[Tom4784]

The screaming was *****ing ANNOYING! :laugh: Did they have to scream everytime Edward was on screen? The clips look good though from what I've seen. I'll have to watch the High quality version when they come out that don't feature girls screaming.

Dakota's what I imagined as Jane really, Does it ever say their ages in the books? I always imagine Jane and Alec to be around 16 or so.

[pinkmichk]

the fan girl screaming is soooooooooooooooooooo anoying i cant wait for them to be up in high quality on the new moon site
i dont think it does say jane and alec ages but around 16 is where i pictured them at as well while there is the older volturi members i do think how jane and alec are portrayed could be pivotal for them

[pinkmichk]

pictures of the volturi vamps (as well as their crest seems the other one wasnt the real deal cos this crest is on stuff on pics taken at comic con) have been leaked online
http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2009/07/twilight-new-moon-volturi-picture-leaks-online.html

:dance2: wow they look pretty much how i pictured them

[Tom4784]

I like the look of them, Caius has got a different look then I imagined though, he kinda looks like a member of the Malfoy family. I imagined the three elder vamps to look older but I think they look cool.

Dakota's pretty much how I imagine Jane to be, she's probably the best suited out of the Volturi we've seen, I wanna see a clip of them though to see how well they pull the characters off.

[pinkmichk]

trailer is due aug 14th:thumbs: so hopefully then we will see a clip of them

[Marc]

I think the new film will be awesome, I look forward to it

[MrGaryy]

Bryce Dallas Howard will replace Rachelle Lefevre in the third instalment of the Twilight franchise, says Variety.

The Terminator Salvation star has been recruited to take over the role of Victoria, a villainous vampire with a grudge against Bella (Kristen Stewart), in Eclipse.

"We are incredibly happy that Bryce has agreed to come into the franchise," said Erik Feig, Summit Entertainment's President of Worldwide Production and Acquisitions.

"Rachelle brought Victoria to great screen life and Bryce will bring a new dimension to the character. The franchise is lucky to have such a talented actress as Bryce coming in to fill the role."

It is understood that scheduling conflicts are behind Lefevre's inability to reprise the role for a third time.

Eclipse will begin production in Vancouver next month, ahead of a June 30, 2010 release date.

DS

D: I love Rachelle, she's the perfect Victoria.

btw Bryce was in Spider Man 3 and Terminator Salvation previously.

[pinkmichk]

i'm not happy about the decision to change who plays victoria as the overlap is only 10 days and they allowed cam who played james to film both twilight and something else at same time even rejigging schedule so his scenes were done at beginning
i also feel sad for rachelle cos eclipse should be the best part of the series for her

[Ninastar]

right I am gunna re read new moon. I cant really remember how the characters are described.

bella punching jacob cos he kissed her and the aftermath when edward picks her up and emmett asks if she fell over again then when edward next drops bella off to jacob and edward says something about if he returns her in less that perfect order jacob would be running on 3 legs:laugh: (in fact that whole chapter needs to be in)
the tent scene where edward and jacob actually sit and talk and bury their differences for bellas sake

[BigSister]

Yeah i want the jasper and rosalle flashback scenes to be in as well
I want the proposal as well between Edward and Bella

[pinkmichk]

*sighs* how could i forget the proposal:love: also the bracelet bella gets needs to be in it

[BigSister]

ooh yay new trailer

[MrGaryy]

nah I doubt it, most people won't know about it, I reckon it will be at the start. But I don't really mind, I've wanted to see Bandslam for awhile now anyway.

[Hugo]

Idk if it's been posted but I just read that Breaking Dawn is gonna be split into three films.

[MarkWaldorf]

^Fail.

[Hugo]

LOL, idc. It's a rumour.

[Hugo]

There’s a new rumor out in the wilderness that the fourth book of the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn will be split into three films:

Summit Entertainment has acquired the rights from Stephenie Meyer to film and distribute Breaking Dawn, the fourth novel in her series. Breaking Dawn is in the early pre-production stages. There will likely be quite a bit of tweaking to the novel due to the explicit sex and birth scenes to avoid an R rating.

Sources say that Breaking Dawn will be filmed and released in a new trilogy – “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part I”, “Part II” and “Part III”. This has not been confirmed officially by Summit, however author Stephenie Meyer has stated “it would have to be made into multiple movies because it’s hard to imagine it fitting into ninety minutes”.

David Slade is directing Eclipse, but it is unknown if he will also direct any of the Breaking Dawn films. “Breaking Dawn: Part I” should start shooting in early 2010, with a release scheduled for 2011.

Consider this all wilid hearsay until further notice–it comes from the sometimes-accurate, sometimes-not-so-accurate Acting411.

It’s certainly an interesting topic of discussion, though–would you want Breaking Dawn to be split into multiple movies?



source (http://www.newmoonmovie.org/2009/08/wild-rumor-breaking-dawn-to-be-three-movies/)

[Hugo]

ew.
(&yh duh ik its not offical, I'm not retarded.)

http://i28.tinypic.com/20j0a4h.jpg

[MarkWaldorf]

The Twilight hype would have died before the time those three movies are released, so there's no point.

[Hugo]

ikr. I wish they could have the explicit scenes, R rating pls.

[MrGaryy]

3 films = big mistake. It could work well as two though, in fact it would pretty much have to be split in two in order for them not to ruin it.

[pinkmichk]

take that 3 films comment with a huge pinch of salt the site that started saying it is known for its bullshit rumours they can do it in one film just make it longer titanic and other work fine as a 3 hour film also a lot of stuff in the book wouldnt need to be added cos its just jacob chatting to leah and seth
also with regards to the stuff that could make it a more adult rated film (as a older fan i'm happy for that:tongue: ) stephenie does a very good job of fade to black in the books it doesnt need to be a full sex scene just enough clues that you as the person watching makes their own conclusion of what is going on same with the birth scene which is another risky one with regards to the supposed audience given the story is from bellas point of view they could do it with a hazy blackness with punctuated flash scenes rather than the whole thing


oh and side note a lot of the cast have landed in vancouver ready for rehersals for eclipse

[Tom4784]

From a financial point of view 3 BD films would be very tempting for studios as it would undoubtedly triple the overall gross however creatively it would be a mess. It just wouldn't work as a trilogy of films, if it was a TV drama it'd work but not as films.

I think they'll probably end up splitting it into two as then the fans are happy that much more stuff gets included and the studio is happy because they'd get double the gross. The only bad side of it is from a studio perspective is that both films would have to be placed closely together so depending on their placements the studio could end up missing a tentpole release. Unless they do what they are doing with Deathly Hallows and have the first part in the November of whatever year it'll be released and have the concluding part 8 months later in the summer. That way the studio will have two tentpole releases.

I'd probably bet money on BD being split up into two.

[pinkmichk]

on the pratical side of things there is only so much make up i mean rob is 23 now and is even now i think struggling to look 17 so fast foward to sometime next yr for the beginning of filming so by stringing it out they will be playing a big risk there i'd much rather a longer single film

[Tom4784]

If they were to film it in multiple parts though they'd film both parts back to back as one production. Like what they did with Lord of the Rings and Deathly Hallows.

Eclipse will wrap up production in a few months time. They could keep the current pace and have the first part of BD out by 2011.

He won't age badly in two years and Hollywood makeup can work miracles. It's entirely possible. I hope they do a two parter now after all this talk. :joker:

[Ninastar]

If you think about it though, most of the fans be like 3/4 years older??? maybe it will be a 15?

It'd cut off any new fans from seeing it though, they'll try and get a low rating as possible as it allows more for more of the target audience to see it.

[MrGaryy]

I just want to say for us who have read the saga to take care to as not spoil the books for people who come in here for NM news.

[MrGaryy]

Jodelle Ferland has become the latest addition to the cast of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, according to Variety.

The 14-year-old actress has reportedly been cast in the role of a "vampire who has just been turned", although her actual character has yet to be confirmed.

Ferland previously starred in 2006 horror film Silent Hill, and has recently finished production on Case 39 alongside Renee Zellweger.

She is the third new addition to the vampire franchise, following news that Australian newcomer Xavier Samuel has been cast as college student Riley and that Bryce Dallas Howard will replace Rachelle Lefevre in the role of Victoria.

Production on Eclipse is scheduled to begin later this month for a June 2010 release.

I'm guessing she'll be playing Bree?

[MrGaryy]

Jack Huston has signed on to appear in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The actor will star as Royce King II, a human who lived during the Great Depression and was engaged to Rosalie Hale (Nikki Reed).

Production on the third instalment in the Twilight franchise is scheduled to begin in Vancouver later this month.

Huston is the grandson of director John Huston and the nephew of actors Angelica Huston and Danny Huston.

He can next be seen starring in ABC's Eastwick, a television adaptation of the 1980s movie starring Cher, Susan Sarandon and Michelle Pfeiffer.

[Tom4784]

At least we know Rosalie's bit is definately in. :cheer:

There's a new small 'mini' trailer (Like 10 seconds long, more like a quick advert) at IGN.

[MrGaryy]

Oscar-nominated actress Catalina Sandino Moreno has joined the cast of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, says The Hollywood Reporter.

The star, who secured a best supporting actress nod for her role in Maria Full Of Grace, will play villainous vampire Maria in the third instalment of the Twilight franchise.

She is described in Stephenie Meyer's books as a "petite brunette with a soft voice" who attempts to create a newborn army of vampires with the help of Jasper (Jackson Rathbone).

Colombian-born Moreno's previous credits include Grace, Steven Soderbergh's Che and upcoming indie drama Frail.

Production on Eclipse is scheduled to begin in Vancouver later this month

[pinkmichk]

books > film (at least twilight) i was gonna wait and i wanted to go to a midnight showing but my cinema isnt doing them which means (and no offence all) but the cinema will be full of screaming tweens

[Callum]

.

[shane666]

should be gooood im thinking ;)

[BigSister]

Cant wait i need to reread new moon as well

[pinkmichk]

buzzing like mad from last night :D

[MarkWaldorf]

how was it? :D

[BigSister]

*is not jealous at all ^_^*
I started reading new moon again last night to get back into it

[pinkmichk]

crazy mental but wow i'll stick some pics and a report up when i get back from nursery run i've not yet come down :joker: will be buzzing for days

[pinkmichk]

right here goes i wrote this yesterday morning when i was very tired but really buzzing

we got to walk red carpet to get into venue crazy crazy experience so much fun though got inside the place had trees (kinda like being in forks in the entrance bit) then once in the room was all done out with red lights and huggggggggggggggge new moon posters (i wanted to steal a edward 1 but i think they may have noticed it under my arm )
got in crowd (UGH hate crowds) chris the director came on stage then they showed the red carpet happening outside on big screens place went mental def seemed like more team jacob (UGH ) inside they had people in red cloaks and red contacts on red carpet plus some dudes who were playing werewolves out there too (lots of shirtless men doing back flips and the like)
first band was band of skulls they were really good but my crowd hate really got to me was no room and i almost passed out everything started going blurry and such so we moved to the outer edge by one of the screens worked out good though cos we could actually see the stage plus one of screens next band was magic numbers which i didnt think much of
then the Q&A session taylor was in a suit looked lovely can see why some people fancy him but he just not my bag *hides from the taylor fans* kristen is beautiful so teeny though she actually got booed as she came on stage which really wasnt called for rob had a suit on with no tie so button open bed hair was in full force plus he had some stubble *died* he was very happy smily and laughing a lot
during questions taylor got asked a lot to remove his shirt like seriously a lot lots of chants of take it off kristen seemed the most nervous up on the stage (prob in part to her reception ) rob was very relaxed lots of giggling smiling i think he prob had a drink cos he was a tad verbal diareah sp? but in a good way he was asked what fav part to film in new moon and he put on a evil voice and said breaking up with bella and sorta did a mwhahah laugh (then said he said that to see our reactions) chris got a tad fed up with all the techinal style questions and wanted some of the fun ones others had like who is fav superhero (taylor was asked this then bloke doing questions asked chris and he said taylor lautner )
we did fan girl a bit figured cant beat em join em and screamed (gave kristen a big cheer when they went off stage as well as others of course)

few piccies for you (loads more on my facebook if your curious)
first glimpse of red carpet (i'll stick a pic on me on it in meet members)

[MarkWaldorf]

i cba

[MrGaryy]

sounds great mich, thanks for that. god that awful about Kristen getting booed.

I booked my tickets for Friday today!!

[Callum]

.

[MrGaryy]

I don't care. :)

[Twilight]

Aww kristen's hair looks really nice<3

[Callum]

I don't care. :)

Aw :hugesmile: Shame that.

[MarkWaldorf]

two threads? lol

[pinkmichk]

i have my ticket for friday :D who else is going opening day? i'm currently re reading for 5th time am bout half way through nm

[pinkmichk]

. god that awful about Kristen getting booed.



my only guess is cos the crowd were mostly female with a average age of about 16 they are bitter towards bella and thus kristen cos she gets to kiss rob and taylor

[Callum]

.

[pinkmichk]

what time showing is everyone going to see it friday the latest my cinema had is half 8 (really gutted wanted a midnight showing)

[MarkWaldorf]

oh i just noticed your thing mich! sounds like you had an amazing time. :D i'll probably go on saturday, it'll be hysteria midnight friday lol.

[pinkmichk]

its gonna be full of screaming fangirls at half 8 on fri (hence the wanting of a midnight showing) but i endured them wednesday as long as they dont ruin my viewing pleasure or i may have to slap a few crazies
yeah i had a amazing time wednesday truly was once in a lifetime type thing

[Shaun]

i'm watching Twilight now. and it's actually not bad. I can see why young/teenage girls are so obsessed about it, it's very appealing I guess...

basically i hate the book, like the movie.

[Ross]

I am the other way round, love the book and hate the movie.

[pinkmichk]

*cough* shaun i'm 25 lol and loads of my friends same age as me and older are just as obsessed if not more so than some of the teens
the books are miles better than twilight film (which i do love btw) but i can tell from spoilers i have seen new moon is going to be a million times better than twilight

[BigSister]

im 23 and i also love the books as well rather than the film im re reading new moon in preperation and forgot how good some of it is

[Callum]

Sad

[Firewire]

I'm going on Saturday at 13:50.

[Callum]

:bored:

[Callum]

You read the book yet Jon? :)

[Firewire]

I have read 3 chapters of Twilight.

I have had no time to finish it lol.

I'll do some more at the weekend.

[5ara]

Im gonna see NEW MOON
On Saturday xD
Waiting for it (HaPPy)

[pinkmichk]

omg less than 12 hours for me to see it i have heard lots of reviews and everyone has been raving about it am so excited

[Sam!]

I saw it at 11:45 today with the gf and two friends. Was pretty good actually, not as good as the book but they never are. :thumbs:

[MrGaryy]

everyone was talking about it today, seems to be creating a real buzz. I'm going in like an hour, can't wait!!

[Beastie]

Who dies? I have not read the book!

[Sarah.]

Going to see it tonight, can't wait! :D

[pinkmichk]

i have no shame and clearly returning to being a teenager while buying my new moon calender today i also happened to buy a team edward t shirt *whistles* i'm going alone tonight i just know i'm gonna cry cos even on 5th read of book i cried
films are never as good as books but as long as it better than twilight (which i love a lot but lets be fair catherine hardwick did muller it) i'll be happy and from what i seen of spoilers and what i heard from those who seen that is case oh and as long as i dont come out of there considering switching to team jacob :joker:

[CiaraD]

Everyone that was at the midnight one last night said it was amazing.
I'm going tomorrow can't wait :D

[MrGaryy]

I got my 2010 calendar too Michelle :P I got mine for free though, which was great cos I was planning on buying it anyway.

[pinkmichk]

i was looking on play and they were £9.99 but i got it in a discount book shop in next town for £4.99 so well happy even more so cos edward is on january so for my birthday month i get to look at him

[Callum]

.

[Firewire]

Going tomorrow at 13:50!

[pinkmichk]

was amazing despite the very blantant jacob loving in the audience i'm team edward always have been and its even stronger after seeing the film i hate jacob even more now than i did in the books and from twilight
rob as edward obviously loved him but kristen really needs a special mention (i'll save other cast members til everyone seen i hold no punches on twitter though so u may get spoiled if your following me) i liked her in twilight but she did pee me off a lot but she has well and truly stepped up her game and was amazing in new moon forget the topless men for just a moment (yes i said that i know that there in there for the crazy fangirls) and you have a truly astounding young actress based on this performance i am now fully a kstew fan and will be seeing her other stuff

[MrGaryy]

Saw it earlier, really enjoyed it, the Volturi scenes were epic, Dakota as Jane and Aro in particular. Thought K-Stew's performance in the scene where Edward leaves was poor but that was the only lowpoint. Everyone in the cinema gasped at the very end tho obviously me and my friend saw it coming. Then everyone clapped, it was cringe LOL. Though I joined in, obv.

[Firewire]

Off to see New Moon now!

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Going wednesday! :) Im seeing it later then everyone else :(

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Btw enjoy Jonathan

[BigSister]

ill be seeing it one of the last im going after next week
And mich your not alone i dont really like jacob either hes cute but i much prefer edwards esp after re reading the book again I didnt realise how much he was hitting on Bella until i re read it

[pinkmichk]

aro and jane were my fav volturi although felix was pretty good too
my friend has just text she is on her way in cinema now grah i wish i was there am going again next weekend with some friends
i've been moaned at by my team jacob friends even my team switz friend has been having a moan cos i hating on jacob so much :joker:

[MissKittyFantastico]

Seeing it tomorrow and can't wait! New Moon is my favourite book of the series so am hoping it doesn't disappoint, but listening to friends who have already seen it it sounds amazing! Wooop!

[Callum]

I loved Dakota as Jane, she really surprised me at how good she was.

[pinkmichk]

Seeing it tomorrow and can't wait! New Moon is my favourite book of the series so am hoping it doesn't disappoint, but listening to friends who have already seen it it sounds amazing! Wooop!

well put it this way new moon is my least fav book of the 4 yet the film could easily be in my top 10 films

[Firewire]

I loved it.

[Callum]

.

[Ninastar]

Going to see this tonight. I really cant wait!!!
