Twilight Series: New Moon, due November 2009

[DolphinChicaDDD]

I do need to go back and reread New Moon. I did fly though it, so I would like the chance to spend more time with it this time around. A friend sent me the http://cullenboysanonymous.com/ link, and they totally beefed up Taylor for the role. There was a picture of him awhile ago.

Potential Spoiler if you haven't completed the series:
Is anyone else kinda concerned with the speed they are making the movies? One one hand, it makes sense. Get the same actors while they are still young enough to play their roles, but if we keep with one movie a year that means Breaking Dawn will be coming up- and I really don't know how that is going to work, unless there is some great special effects or puppet child or something that can play Nessie That part is waaaay too complex to put an actual child in the role.

That's why Stephanie doesn't know if she wants Breaking Dawn on screen. It'd be way too complicated.

Something with a Spiderman/Batman/Titanic sized budget could probably pull it off...but being that Summit had issues with the speed-running and sparkling (which are probably basic when it comes to SFX), I have my doubts. Although after the success of Twilight, and the projected success of New Moon, I don't think Breaking Dawn will have the same budget issues.

If nothing else, they should go ahead and shoot the movie while the actors are still young enough (since no one is supposed to age-and I HATE when they replace actors), and then take their time in post-prod with Nessie. They're just going to have to give the post-prod people plenty of options, because if they really take their time and do a good job, reshooting isn't going to be an option.

I don't know. Once in a while there is a REALLY good child actor-another Dakota Fanning?-though for the earliest days, a doll would probably be easier.

I always saw Nessie as Kirsten Dunst from Interview w/ a Vampire. But I agree, that part is too complex. Breaking Dawn itself is too complex of a book to put to screen, especially with a limited budget.

On the Cullen Boys site, it already has a promo for Eclipse for June of 2010....That seems rather fast.... are they filming Eclipse and New Moon together?

Another note....they just cast Michael Sheen of Frost/ Nixon fame, as Aro. That sure how I feel about that one...

I always get the Volturi mixed up. Which one was the wrinkled tissue-skinned Volturi?

First movie poster is out....



I like it (and I think the actor that plays Jacob is a cutie), but it almost seems more apropos for Eclipse. I know Meyer didn't want the physical "Eclipse" of Jacob over Edward on the book cover (too much foreshadowing), but the cat's out of the bag for the movie...
