The Twilight Book Series (Discussion Thread)

[pinkmichk]

i hope so i saw earlier that bellas house has been covered up to protect it til aug when eclipse filming starts did make me giggle that its mostly made of styrofoam:joker:

[Christina]

I'm loving it!! It has soo much more detail than the film [probably should of read the book before seeing the film though]. Can't wait to read more :D

And lool Michelle i don't blame you for being excited the books and brill and thanks for the warning! And lol i'll look out for the footage [just been looking at the links you guys posted]

Seriously, so glad i got into this whole Twilight stuff :spin2:

[pinkmichk]

i'm having a new moon get together with some equally obsessed friends we're gonna have a bit of a party before going to the film together
yeah the books go into way more detail but only so much you can cram in 90 minutes or however long it is

[Christina]

Yeah, same with the Harry Potter books. But i'm sure they sort of rearranged the events in the film to what they were in the book?

For example in the film Bella meets Jacob straight away whereas in the book she meets him later on at the beach. And they changed the way Bella confronted Edward about being a vamp too.

And ooh the party sound soo cool, hope you have a great time :hugesmile:

[MarkWaldorf]

Oh check out Christina and her knowledge already :tongue:

[BigSister]

have fun at the party mich
Ill prob have to go on my own again like i did with Twlight

[pinkmichk]

i didnt even see twilight at cinema didnt even know there was a film til my friend said she had preordered her copy:hugesmile: (oh just watched it again:lovedup: :whistle: ) we're gonna show the teens how to be proper obsessed and most prob embarass ourselves in the process :joker: (current plans include some t shirts and cullen inspired jewellery each:whistle: )

[pinkmichk]

i stayed up til 3am finishing eclipse :love: but i feel a bit sad that i'm almost through them again:sad: might just have to read the books on a endless loop:blush: will be starting bd with my mid morning tea and taking it with me

[DrunkerThanMoses]

I just bought all four books yesterday. me and my friend are going to read them and disscuss them as she is readign them now. Im half way through Twlight so far, its really good, i didnt think i would enjoy is this much... its much better then the film!

[pinkmichk]

Its a shame I only got Twlight and New Moon on me at the mo, I left the other two in my flat, but cant go back till monday now because of wet paint. So im gunna have to read New Moon slower then i have read twlight. Im still shocked by all the sexual tension know. The one part where there in the woods, and he was telling her why he was ignoring her was freaking pages after pages of sexual tension. I was like they let children read this?

[pinkmichk]

yeah they kinda shocked me a bit first time with the sexual tension but seriously what is in twilight is nothing compared to breaking dawn

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Ah your spoiling it..... Breaking Dawn is the last one..... stiill got ages now.... I got like 2 chapters left on Twlight.... i might quickly read them during the show tonight.

[pinkmichk]

hello all i'm back nope not spoiling it but i cant wait for those still reading to get to bd there is so much i want to say about it but dont want to spoil for those not read it
i finished it last night :love::love::love::love: and i loved it just as much 2nd read as i did the first time

[pinkmichk]

i agree i think i'm destined to be single forever now cos noone is going to match up to edward are they? is there such a thing as a real life edward if so i need to find him:laugh:
i've put my step bro on watch cos he works at the airport and as a supervisor is often the one dealing with celebs coming through so told him he needs to add rpattz to the list of celebs that if they come through he needs to get them to speak to me on phone get autograph and a photo:laugh:

[Tom4784]

I thought Edward was an interesting character in Twilight but he never really develops into anything more. Well I'm only talking about the first three since I haven't read BD yet (Thanks Play!).

I have one of those drawing things which someone done of me lol, we gave it to my dad years ago as a fathers day gift. Would be great to have a Rob one though :lovedup:

[pinkmichk]

cheers for that link

[Tom4784]

Argh I think some divine force is trying to stop me getting BD. I've been Ill all day so I sent my sister out to get a few things and she couldn't find it anywhere.

Oh well, I'll have a good look around tomorow if I feel better.

[BigSister]

Whsmiths will have it or waterstones or Tesco. Hmv might have it as well

[pinkmichk]

yeah i got mine in tesco was in there today and they had at least 8 on the shelf

[Tom4784]

Well either way I'm getting it tomorow, BD hating Divine force be damned! I should be able to find it I think, There's loads of shops that I can think of that'll have it.

[Tom4784]

Okay the Divine Force won this battle but it hasn't won the war yet! I went shopping and I went to EVERY shop that sold books, not one had any in. BD, New Moon and Twilight were sold out in most places. I was contemplating going to Dudley (Couldn't be arsed) or Birmingham (but didn't, my bulletproof vest is at the Laundrette today).

My sister's gonna get the Play thing sorted out, she thinks I might have made a mistake.

[MarkWaldorf]

I found mine in WHSmith.

[MrGaryy]

christ you must be itching to read it. Think how rewarding it will be when you do get it though. :P

[pinkmichk]

i hope after all this its not a let down for you:laugh:

[BigSister]

Yeah I agree *crosses fingers*

[Tom4784]

Hopefully it'll be here by Friday/Thursday.

[pinkmichk]

:dance2: lets hope so

[Tom4784]

It's like an ongoing saga :laugh: It could be on Eastenders except it'd be dragged out for a year and when I finally get the book it gets run over and dies.

:laugh2:

[pinkmichk]

:laugh2:

Ah, i'm so lazy.. you lot are all on the last book and i'm not even half way through the first. I'm a really bad reader lol i'm so undedicated [except for the Harry Potter books] :laugh:

[BigSister]

Dont worry i bought New Moon in Febuary and only started reading it in May. It was only because i was on holiday that I read the last 2 ones

[pinkmichk]

anyone know how to do a spoiler post on here so can chat about breaking dawn without spoiling it for those not read it yet

[Christina]

You do [spoil*] spoiler here. [/spoil*] without the gaps and stars :)

[Tom4784]

I started reading Breaking Dawn about an hour ago, I'm on Chapter 6 now.

I can see why a Breaking Dawn film hasn't been green lighted yet. The sexual tension! The sadomasochistic sex! It'd be a hard sell for a 12a :laugh:

I'm enjoying it so far though, It's very different to the other books. Finally I nearly had myself a moment of silence for Bella's truck. Possibly the most tragic Twilight moments since Alice nearly had to give back her Mercedes 911. :laugh2:

I've had an idea, it's best not to quote posts with spoilers as the text is visible, save us from spoiling it for Christina and others. :thumbs:

[Christina]

Aw thanks Dezzy :hug:

[pinkmichk]

lol didnt take you long to read that much
i cant see how they will be able to do bd film on same age the others, although does anyone else think that twilight new moon and eclipse are like the longest fore play in the history of forever

[BigSister]

Haha yeah i know what you mean about the film. They might make it a 15 or possibly an 18

[Tom4784]

I'm a fast reader lol.

the BD film will either not have any of the sex in it or they won't have Bella looking like she's gone 10 rounds with Tyson after it :laugh2:

What in the blue hell were they doing? :laugh:

No problem Christina! :bigsmile:

[pinkmichk]

one of my fav quotes of the whole saga is
"why am i covered in feathers?" " i bit a pillow or two" :joker:
they will have to change the age i think cos will loose too much from the book

[Christina]

I'm so tempted to read all of these spoilers haha!

[BigSister]

Nooooooooooooooooooo dont hehe

[pinkmichk]

step away from the spoilers christina

question for those who have read all of bd
so was reneesme concieved first or second time i think first time

[BigSister]

I think first as well although i might have to re read that bit to be sure

[pinkmichk]

i think edward had a knowing she was pregnant but didnt want to accept it before she realised she was just in how he acts its like he is aware but not completely

[Tom4784]

I'm on Chapter 21 now. I think it's a personal Twilight record, 15 chapters in one day.

I LOVED Jacob's book although I don't like the fact he imprinted on Renesmee, that was weird. I also liked the little diferences in his book like the chapter titles being sentances and such. I think Leah's became one of my favourite characters now and I hope her role in the films isn't reduced too much.

I loved the little exchanges between Rosalie and Jacob and the somewhat friendship that sprung between Jake and Edward. I hope they keep that in the film is a BD one is ever made. It's gonna be a hard book to adapt, the first part's like something off the top shelf in a shop and the second part's gorier then a Saw film. :laugh:

Edward's 'ow' comment made me laugh when Bella became a vampire.

For the love of God Christina resist the urge of the spoilers, you'll only regret it afterwoods! :spin2:

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Im on the last book Breaking Dawn... really enjoying them! Im at the part were the wolfs are about to attack Bella and the Vampires..... ah.

[Tom4784]

That's a good bit but remember to put spoiler tags up when talking about BD. There's a few members who read the thread that haven't got that far. :thumbs:

You do spoilers by typing what you want to hide between [*spoil] and [*/spoil] in case you don't know. Oh and remove the stars or it won't work. :bigsmile:

[Christina]

Nearly finished the first book.. well i have a few more chapters but it dosen't look alot :laugh:

[BigSister]

The last few chapters are good in twlight:hello:

No problem, I wasn't having a go at you. :hug:

[pinkmichk]

wow fast reading
i didnt like that jacob inprinted on reneesme either it just didnt seem right to me but i can understand why the book went that route cos he needed to be a part of bellas life even though he knew it wouldnt be with bella
i love the edward/jacob friendship and i laughed so much at all jacobs little digs at rosalie

[Tom4784]

I'm on Chapter 29 now, Should have it finished by tomorow.

I'm really liking it at the moment, I was unsure if Bella as a vampire would work at the point they changed her because I thought the vamp Bella would lose a lot of Bella-isms (before I knew she was gonna change I expected it to happen at the very end). But it's worked very well I think. I'm very intrigued to see what a film Vamp Bella would look like as well as how they'd do Renesmee.

If they even do Breaking Dawn that is, I don't envy whoever has the task of adapting it into a 12A/PG-13.

[pinkmichk]

i wasnt sure how bella the vamp would work but it does i really like where she picks up details and the time it takes her and stuff like that and the first hunting trip is one that if they do the film i want included
not a clue how they could do reneesme unless they go the cgi route cos of her being super fast growing

[Tom4784]

Stephanie Meyers also said that, due to the fact no baby can ever be that self aware to act the part.

One line and scene that HAS to be in the film.

'You nicknamed my daughter after the lockness monster!?'

That whole bit made me laugh.

I put the spoilers as a quote then, I was like ARRRRRGGHGHG!!!!! Edit Edit Edit!

[pinkmichk]

:joker: i love that bit

i've just read on a blog that the actress who plays alice has said in a interview that they will be starting breaking dawn straight after eclipse :hello: they get the eclipse scripts next week

[Tom4784]

Ooooooh I wonder how much will be cut out?

They'll do the birth scene from Bella's point of view so they can have her pass out I think so we won't see too much gore. I think the sex scenes will be like the books, fade to black scenes. I can see them changing the Renesmee/Jacob thing though or just make him overprotective of her and omit the details about imprinting. I could see the tabloid media making a mountain out of an ant hill with that one if they went down the imprint route.

[pinkmichk]

i agree with all of that could work on the level as keeping it a suitable age and i reckon they prob will change the not only jacob and reneesme bit but the other wolf (name escapes me) who imprints on the 2 year old but seeing as i'm 25 i'm all for the older age if it means the book is stuck to better cos out of the 4 i think bd needs it the most as its the conclusion of it

[Tom4784]

Yeah all the imprinting with kids stuff will probably go, I think Jacob's book will be condenced down as well. When I think about it, it could work but It'll be quite rushed I think. Plus the teenage rough sex and pregnancy will cause a stir with tabloids although they'll probably use it as an advertising tool.

[pinkmichk]

the media will have a field day with bd espically if its at the same age the other 3 are but then given the main characters are 17/18 in book and its aimed at around the 16 age range (:blush2: makes me feel old to love a set of teen books :laugh: ) so in theory sex and pregnancy shouldnt be too much of a big deal espically given the fact its very obvious that its not true given that there isnt vamps and wolves in high schools over the world :laugh:
just remembered another bit i want to see in the film the emmett and bella arm wrestle

[Tom4784]

The problem is that tabloids will spin a story about anything as long as it sells papers, look at the sh*tstorm a prank phonecall from Jonathon Ross caused. Never undestimate how much control the papers have. I could see them using the film to run a few stories about BD being a bad influence to teenage girls because it influences them to have kids young or something stupid like that. Of course media like that can only help the film really.

[pinkmichk]

yeah get what your saying no such thing as bad media

[Tom4784]

I've finished Breaking Dawn! I'm slightly dissapointed that it took me 2 days, with the others my times were getting better with each one. :laugh:

And now my full thoughts on it.

I loved it, I'm not sure if it's my favourite but I kinda see it differently to the other 3? Like the first three was it's own trilogy while BD was it's own story? I dunno if that makes much sense.

As I said before I loved Jacob's book, I wouldn't be averse to a spin off book with him as the central character (Stephenie Meyer only ruled out future Twilight books with Bella as the main character). I really liked Leah and hope that her and Seth get good parts in the film, although I don't think they will since I can see Jacob's part being condensced considerably.

The end chapters was TENSE! I loved how Bella became the most powerful vampire in that situation although narrative wise it was predictable it was very gratifying. I really liked the introduction of the other vampires too (Benjamin and Zafrina in particular) and I was almost saddened that there wasn't a fight sequence, seeing some of the vampires and their powers in battle could have made an amazing action sequence.

I loved the bit at the end when Bella learnt to control her powers completely and let Edward in.

The only thing that springs to mind that I didn't like was the lack of Alice, compared to the previous books she was hardly in it. Apart from that I really enjoyed it. I can't wait for the film now.

[pinkmichk]

:cheer2: so glad you liked it
i agree the first 3 do kind of seem like a triology, i love the other vamps coming in although would have been nice to know more about their backgrounds, the almost fight was a bit of a let down cos a fight would have been good but on the other hand i'm glad that none of my fav characters were lost, i cried reading bd a few times one of them being when alice and jasper left and another when bella was able to let edward into her head
i agree i think jacobs part could be shrunk down in the film

[BigSister]

Yeah i agree there wasnt enough Alice in it for me either but apart from that it was great. Glad you liked it though

[Tom4784]

I reckon in the film they'll have a fight, talking can suit a book but it'd be a horrible anti-climax for a film. I don't think anyone will be killed off but I can see them putting a fight in to make it more vissually interesting.

[pinkmichk]

its quite possible given that in new moon film there is going to be more edward than the book as a vision in bellas head rather than just voices

[pinkmichk]

i thought stephenie meyers writing of breaking dawn was highly sexually charged but i've just read a fanfic story which is the lead up to the wedding and honeymoon where edward & bella take "babysteps" so that the wedding night isnt a huge shock for them both its made even me blush and i'm very opened minded

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Ive nearly finshed the last one...... 150 pages to go....... lol, i kinda ruined the story for my friends who are reading them!

[pinkmichk]

what do you think of them? i've introduced 3 friends to the saga and i hate them not being at same place as me i tend to just talk twilight with them cos they have all at least read that so i dont spoil it

[MrGaryy]

I think they will definitely have to add a fight scene at the end of New Moon. Otherwise it would get panned as anti climatic and irrelevant. Personally I really didn't like how New Moon ended but still liked the book because of the period where Edward is gone and we find out all about Jacob.

I'm almost finished re reading Eclipse. I forgot how much I love it, damn it is going to be one EPIC movie.

[MrGaryy]

also a note to anyone who is behind - DO NOT READ THE SPOILERS. seriously you will regret it SO much afterwards. by the time I got to BD i knew so much about it, though in my defense, all by accident.

some breaking dawn film info sorry its a little long

It all started back in November, when Twilight was released and The Twilight Saga: New Moon was announced, fans were thrilled about New Moon; then, when The Twilight Saga: Eclipse was not only officially going to be made, but had a release date set in stone, dreams of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn were running free in the minds of many.

Now, months down the road (as The Twilight Saga: New Moon's release date draws nearer), there is still no official confirmation that The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn will come to be (that is, Summit Entertainment has not solidly declared its intentions to make the film, and until we get that sort of word, it is not official).

The talk of Breaking Dawn, however, has yet to cease, and likely will not until we know one way or the other.

That said, here is a shortened re-cap of what we have seen commence over the last few months with regard to this yet-unannounced project.

First, back when Remember Me star Robert Pattinson was walking the red carpet to present at the Academy Awards, he was interviewed and stated that he expected to film Breaking Dawn. This got us to talking about what some of the obstacles to filming could be that would stand in the way of bringing this project to fruition - namely, Renesmee

Then, in April, Dominic Patten at TheWrap.com stated that he received insider information telling us that Breaking Dawn was indeed a "go" for filming Not too long after that story was released, we saw the rise of a German reality TV show called "Mission Hollywood" that promised a spot on the Twilight series to the winner (of twelve contestants) of the challenges on the show. Looking at the women selected for the show, we then analyzed what parts - by looking at the book series - they'd be suitable for It was concluded that they'd be befitting, very easily, for a role in Breaking Dawn as opposed to the others - but that was pure speculation, of course.

So, we got to talking - who would be good for a part in Breaking Dawn? A couple of small fangroups were already starting to formulate - one suggesting that Ryan Reynolds should play Garrett in the series, and another suggesting Isla Fisher should be Kate.

Meanwhile, on IMDb, the status of the project had shifted - going from "optioned property" to "script." Of course, it held no official significance, but it was still a mouth-watering occurrence.

Then, Robert Pattinson's schedule got to be a bit busy. That said, the question was raised whether Robert Pattinson would even be available to play Edward Cullen if Breaking Dawn went to film. Concerns were heavy about that issue, until Pattinson spoke with The Hollywood Reporter while at Cannes and said he was committed to seeing the series' ending come to film-life.

So, we got to talking again about how the film would or should be cast if and when it comes into casting. Many had severe opinions about how their favorite characters should look in that discussion.

Then, speaking of looks, a photoshoot of The Runaways star Kristen Stewart surfaced, giving us a great idea of what she'd look like as a vampire in the hypothetical film.Stewart had already stated that she was in for all four films.

Enter Ashley Greene to throw gas on the flames. She indicated, in an interview back in June, that there will be four movies. Then, when I spoke with Peter Facinelli, he said that he was certainly game for Breaking Dawn as well.

In the words of Bella Swan in New Moon, "[t]ime passes. Even when it seems impossible." In the passing time, there has still been no word for Breaking Dawn. So, we had a discussion about a potential alternative to making the fourth film while still bringing one of his most beloved scenes, the wedding, to cinematic light .It may be a bit euphemistic to say that fans were simply not pleased with the notion.

That said, we moved right along, looking on to some of the fan-made posters for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn that brought some of the feel of the story to life and served as a spot of encouragement for its eventuality. We also looked at some of the potential Renesmees out there and many fans were in awe of the lovely children who captured the essence and look of the character.

Most recently, Christopher Heyerdahl, who portrays Marcus in New Moon, stated that he was indeed contracted for the fourth film . Like the others, though, his words only serve to satiate our thirst for information about the status of this picture temporarily.

So, that's basically it. That's what has happened in the past few months with regard to Breaking Dawn. While the actors are certainly on board, there remains no confirmation that it will be made. Chances are, some serious decision-making will have to be done on the issue of whether to make Breaking Dawn into a film.

On the one hand, the studio probably knows that fans want to see it made; on the other hand, it will be an extremely arduous task. Casting and length alone will be tricky, but Renesmee particularly will be a difficult being to bring to life. Not only will she be difficult to cast (in multiple stages, but especially as a baby), but the process of her conception and birth will be difficult to portray as well.

That said, hope is not lost. Even though the film has not been announced, word has also not come down the pike that it will not be made. Just as we can't be sure that it will be done, we are also not sure that it won't. Like many commentators on this column have suggested, with the on-coming success of The Twilight Saga: New Moon and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, the temptation to not make the film might be sharply contrasted with the potential profitability of it. Fans also seem quite willing to see the final chapter of the saga become a two-part film - much like Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows has become - and this may serve to bolster any willingness to do the film as well.

In any case, absent official confirmation, all we have is this - a saga of insinuation by so many.
