WARNING: DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T READ "NEW MOON" YET.
Isabella "Bella" Swan is thrown an eighteenth birthday party by Edward Cullen, the vampire she loves, and his vampire family. While unwrapping a gift, she receives a paper cut. Jasper, although attempting a non-human diet, is overwhelmed by the scent of blood and tries to attack Bella. In an attempt to keep Bella safe from the world of vampires, Edward leaves the town of Forks. Bella becomes depressed and seeks comfort with Jacob Black, an old family friend who eases her pain over losing Edward. Bella and Jacob begin spending a lot of time together, and Bella soon discovers that the rush of adrenaline present when she places herself in dangerous situations stimulates a hallucination of Edward's voice. Bella begins seeking out dangerous behavior, such as riding a motorcycle, to keep Edward's voice with her. Meanwhile, Jacob finds out that he is a werewolf. Initially, he tries to keep this secret from Bella, but he eventually reveals as much as he can without betraying his pack. After Bella attempts cliff-diving, she gets caught in a riptide and is rescued by Jacob. At the same time, Alice Cullen, Edward's vampire sister who has visions of the future, has a vision of Bella jumping off the cliff. Presuming Bella is dead, Alice rushes to Forks to check on Charlie, Bella's father, while Edward calls Bella's home. Jacob answers and informs Edward that Charlie is "at the funeral", referring to that of a man in town who had a heart attack, but Edward draws the conclusion that he means Bella's funeral. Desperate after Bella's supposed death, Edward flees to Italy to see the Volturi, peace-keeping vampires who would be able to kill Edward, granting him leave of a world without Bella. Bella and Alice rush to Italy to stop Edward, and save him before it is too late. Before they leave Italy, the Volturi tell them that Bella, a human who knows of the existence of vampires, must either be killed or changed into a vampire herself. After they return to Forks, Edward explains to Bella that he only left in order to protect her, and she forgives him. The book ends with the Cullens voting in favor of Bella being changed into a vampire, much to Edward's dismay.

yay... I guess. lol, hopefully the actor for Jacob will look better, I suppose. personally, he doesn't look that bad for me. I felt bad for him though when he first came on screen and I heard so many groans from many annoying teenagers in the theatres.
cant wait for more of Rob-Kristen chemistry...
fabrications.
Nov 22 2008, 06:24 PM
....*breaks down crying* I'm not too sure about this one. I still feel really disappointed from the first one.

Nov 22 2008, 06:51 PM
i thought the first one was pretty good, and the actors are going to be the same in new moon right?

kinda excited for it (: hehe
juhee
Nov 22 2008, 06:56 PM
im wondering how they are going to make Jacob/Taylor look taller than Rob...
btw when does Jacob cut his long hair....
does he even cut it at all in New Moon...
i thought Jake thought that Bella like it long so he kept it long throughout New Moon...
and then in Eclipse he cut it....
im wondering because im a bit disturbed by the wig....
Also what is the scene that you're most anticipating for film New Moon??
me i want to see when (even though this might sound soooo mean) but when Edward tells Bella that he doesn't love her anymore
i just want to see how Kristen portrays the emotion of becoming completely broken...
and of course the Volturi!!
i want ben barnes as aro!
sweetea
Nov 22 2008, 07:06 PM
^ Yeah I was wondering the same thing. How are they gonna make Jacob tower over everyone else?
And this is how Kris will react to the break up "N-n-n-n-n-n-o y-y-y-y-yo-yo-you c-c-c-ca-ca-a-a-n-t s-s-s-a-y t-t-t-t-t-th-th-that" xD lol jp.
I'm really looking forward to Bella & Jacob's relationship AND Jacob's haircut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That picture's cute! He's so hot. He's just really ugly in Twilight cus of the hair. hahaha
You know what they forgot in Twilight? The part where Bella goes to Edwards house and he tells her the story of the picture. Doesn't that connect with the Voultri (if my memory doesn't fail)? New Moon is going to be sad, I know it.
sweatea LMFAO!!!!!! I remember silently laughing to that part in the movie hahahahahahah

The 1st one was pretty disappointing ><'
Hopefully jacob's gonna be hotter in new moon hahah

I can't wait, especially for the part where Edward is about to reveal himself to piss off the Volturi so they'd kill him...and yeah, the Volturi themselves.

wish they'd change the production company to Warners or somewhere else.
i was sorely disappointed by twilight. (eg: HORRIBLE graphics, cheesy scenes, etc) :3
maybe they'll LEARN from their MISTAKES? lol

New Moon thread! Nice!

I'm so happy the sequel is really confirmed now!

I hope they make the reunion of Edward and Bella an epic!
I'm excited to see the volturi.
I dont mind if they'll change the director and the scriptwriter!
juhee
Nov 22 2008, 09:12 PM
I reallllyyyyy want Alfonso Curon as the new director... he did Little Princess and the 3rd HP film
i want him because i love how he incorporates nature as a character itself... and Fork's weather is a character haha if you know what i mean
especially in New Moon!!!
i completely dislike how sometimes Catherine zoomed into the actor's eyes when it wasn't necessary...
and a new screenwriter!!! Melissa Rosenberg was soo chessy at times... T_T
she relies heavily on the book....
although the whole stupid lamb & sick masochistic lion was from Stephenie's request....ugh
i almost died from laughter and cheesy-ness when i heard that line coming from Rob and Kris...

Nov 22 2008, 09:47 PM
*sigh*
I HOPE that New Moon will be an improvement from Twilight, since it was a horribly disappointing movie that completely sucked and was totally corny I almost barfed at how bad it really was.
I hope they change directors and cast better actors for the role this time around as well as have a better script writer. I'd be thrilled if this movie was done right.
and don't bash me for being disappointed at the first movie either...it really was disappointing. Rotten tomatoes gave it a 5.4/10 and a 56% rotten tomatoes. Now that's freaking embarrassing.
But I have my hopes up for New Moon, with the revenue garnered from Twilight, hopefully they can do more with it.

excited but i hope they change directors and screen writers!
and keep of course keep the cast cuz Dr. Cullen is super fine!! ahahah

wow.. we have NM thread already.. i haven't even watched Twi yet.
Although i just love the first and the ending part of NM, i'm still excited for this movie.
I do hope NM will have new director, new screenwriter,better script and effects . Catherine doesn't seem to do a good job, so many critics about camera angles, edition....
if Ed/Bells relationship was so rushed in Twilight, i hope they will focus more on their relationship in the beginning and when they met in Italy ( more intimate moments )
i hope with higher budget, the effect will be done well: Werewolf transformation, Edward stepping out into sunlight...
Here is what i need in New Moon:
1. Ed/Bella perfect summer
2. Ed and Bells watch Romeo&Juliet, Ed whispers Romeo's line in Bella's ear.
3. Birthday party and passionate kiss in Bella's bed
4. All scenes at Italy
5. When Bella wakes up and think that she's dreaming
6. Vote
7. Proposal
For soundtrack. I would love if they use "FAR AWAY" by Nickelback. Everytime i listen to this song, i think about Edward in NM

Nov 23 2008, 05:47 AM
although new moon is not my favorite among the saga...
i'll still look forward for the movie.
i hope they give them bigger budget for this one.
i haven't watched twilight yet so i don't what they should improve.

Nov 23 2008, 11:25 AM
seriously? they're actually going to make a sequel?
eh~ even though i wasn't that satisfied with the Twilight
I'm pretty sure New Moon will be alright. But this is the one
with Jacob as the main. Cause, yeah, I don't want to spoil anything
that the nonreaders don't know yet. But yeahh. hopefully it comes out.
can't wait to watch it.

Nov 23 2008, 11:38 AM
Whoa. Already ?!
I didnt even get a chance to watch Twilight yet.
Impossible to get in the theaters. Crowded.
But I cannot wait for New Moon.
Mainly because I love Taylor Lautner and I cannot wait for his bigger part.
New Moon, I will definitely watch on opening day .

Nov 23 2008, 11:45 AM
I seriously hope it's gonna be better than twilight. It'd better be!! This was my favorite book of all four.I remembered crying my eyes out reading the book especialy when it comes to the bedroom's part where Bella thought she's hallucinating after their reunion.

Nov 23 2008, 12:17 PM

From the ending you could so tell there will be a sequel and so on

HE'S GONNA GET A HAIRCUT. I hope Taylor could pull off that sweet Jacob part <3

Nov 23 2008, 12:57 PM
i'm soooo excited for New Moon now! Twilight did not disappoint me at all.
New Moon's my least favorite book in the series, i only like the part when
Bella goes and saves Edward at the Volturi. So i am excited to see that part.

Exactly my thoughts! I couldn't have said it any better xDD
Even though Jacob dominates majority of NM, I hope they'll have more of Edward & Bella and more of Bella & Alice! Those two are suppose to be the bestest friends in the book but yet in twilight it was so undeveloped.
Ohh, and I would love to see Bella cliff dive~ lol

haha, just thinking about jasper makes me laugh..really anticipate that part loll. But it's kinda sad how in the book, Jasper kinda gives off this intimating vibe and he's gifted with abilities to manipulate people's emotions and again that was not shown and instead he's turned into someone comical lol -__-
Good thing Jacobs gets a haircut in NM, cause that fugly long hair seriously needs to go loll.

I'm so glad they will be filming New Moon

. I have to say, I was disappointed with how the editing went with Twilight. It seemed as if the scenes were just clumped together. It didn't really flow. Don't get me wrong though, the movie had its good points and it was really funny and all, but I hope New Moon will be even better.

^ OMG REALLY?! Already? WOW. That's gonna be good news

I just wonder who's gonna be the whole Volturi in general.
I hope they make the glittering skin effect better than before (when Edward's in italy).
I'm bummed that Edward & the Cullens won't come out for a while in the movie T _ T Ah well.

Script already finished for ‘Twilight’ sequel Star Robert Pattinson signed on for two more movies
Access Hollywood
updated 3:00 p.m. PT, Sun., Nov. 23, 2008
LOS ANGELES - With “Twilight” rising at the box office this weekend, Summit Entertainment has officially announced its first sequel, “New Moon,” Variety reported on Saturday.
“Twilight,” the teen vampire romance that’s generated an obsessive following among young audiences, earned $35.7 million on Friday, including a whopping $7 million from Thursday midnight screenings.
Fang fans won’t have to wait long for more — the studio is already moving forward with the follow-up. Screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg has signed on to pen “New Moon” and possible third installment “Eclipse,” and star Robert Pattinson said the “New Moon” script is ready to go.
“
The script is already done for the second one,” he told the Seattle Times earlier this week, noting he’s signed on himself for two more movies.
The “Twilight” films stem from the popular four-part series of novels by Stephenie Meyer, which includes “Twilight,” “New Moon,” “Eclipse” and “Breaking Dawn.”
Copyright 2008 by NBC. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.
URL:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27877668/So Robert only signed up for 3 movies. Hopefully, he'll finish the 4th one if the sequel continues to be successful!
Seems like they were totally prepared for a second movie before Twilight was even released. lol.
