Hey, I am new to this thread but have been reading. I am just about to finish up twilight and midnight sun. I did see the movie before starting the book and just saw it again for the second time over the weekend. What is it with how addicting it is? lol

I am glad I saw the movie first before reading the book. The one thing with the movie that really bothered me was that Bella never cracked a smile once in the whole movie. She just seemed depressed so it was hard for me to see her as in love with Edward he seemed to be with her. Seeing the movie first I didn't realize how in love both of them were till I read the book. Now on to start new moon today.

I love the blue banana gang symbol. hehe.

This isn't the "romantic" way I want to be turned into a vampire... OLD school vampires are SO out.

Anyway, I was just going to add that I thought the guy who played Jacob was pretty good in the film. He still has some time to grow a bit taller maybe for the next film. Perhaps they will use him in the earlier scenes and then when things change, use another actor? They could always use the ol' forced prospective film style that we saw in the Lord of the Rings with the hobbits.

I am also kind of happy about the potential director change, but will only be really happy once that person is named. I really think it would be great if we could have one film during the holidays for the next few years. Also, perhaps they will film like they did for LOTR and PotC and do a few films at once, so as to not allow too much time to pass for the actors to look older.

I loved Taylor Lautner and thought he embodied the young, friendly Jacob well. I'd be interested in seeing him continue in the role but he does need to look a little bigger. I'm not sure what to think about Catherine not continuing with the series. Hopefully they will pick someone else who is as excited about the books as she is.

I'm gone from this thread for 2 days and you guys got all gangsta on me!

Yes, it took me a little while to catch up on this thread while I was gone, too!

I also really like Taylor as Jacob. To those who wonder if they will use him through out the movies, it has been reported that he had signed a contract to play Jacob in all the movies. I have said it before, if they can make a normal sized man look like a hobit and a normal sized man look like a giant, then I am sure they can make Taylor look taller. Actually, maybe they will leave that fact out of the movie totally. What I really liked about Taylor was how him and Kristen were together. They really seemed like Jacob and Bella and were comfortable together. You can see how she was at ease around him especially at the end. She really looked happy to see him. I can't wait to see how thay will really translate on screen for New Moon.(even though I am so TEAM EDWARD!)

I am excited for a new director, but nervous they won't stay true to the book. I really hope Stephanie will be really involved and make sure the new director will not try to throw some crazy things into the movie.

I remember thinking that there was something about vampire bites that felt like a sexy thing. It's an age old debate the whole Vampire bite she wants it/doesn't want it sorta thing.

Woo hoo! Have a great time!

 

[tofubeast]

I still can't get enough of your sig travelmel. Everytime I see if I laugh. Just priceless!

Your Dancing Edwards reminds me of my awful thought:

Twilight- The Musical

"The [Midnight] Sun'll come out... tomorrow..."

Bella in the science lab scene ""I'm going to wash that man right out of my hair!"

New Moon... Belle singing "On My own" or "Hopelessly Devoted to You"

"Tonight...tonight...won't be just any night..." ---white feathers....

The meadow 'diamond' scene... "Let the Sunshine In!"



oh great..now I am going to be thinking of other musical references to play on this. Just trying to enjoy my lunch break.

 

[Iluvthemouse]

Just talked to my BFF and we are going to see Twilight this Thursday afternoon. It will be her first and my second. I trust when everyone says the second time is better, they are right?

I certainly thought so. I thoroughly enjoyed the second viewing. Plus I just stared at Edward the whole time.....can you really top that?

I think I need to see it again. I was so excited that I was seeing it for the second time and by myself ( which I now prefer seeing movies this way!) that I don't think I paid enough attention.

 

[sunnyday123]

I am dipping my toe into this thread....

I JUST got my copy of Twilight from the library, and will begin reading it soon..Cant wait!

hope all your Christmas shopping is done. And buy lots of cereal, pb & j for the kids.

This has got me very worried...

Hardwicke for 'Twilight' sequel
Timing conflicts cause for director's departure

The problem that stalled negotiations was that Hardwicke had strong opinions about what to do with the next installment, and so did Summit. The debate was how to focus the adaptation of the second book, which deals more with giant werewolves than vampires, as well as the long depression of Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), after her vampire lover (Rob Pattinson) leaves her. One issue was how to get more of teen heartthrob Pattinson into the film. (Rosenberg has figured out a device to achieve this.) But Hardwicke, burned out from her "Twilight" labors, simply wasn't willing to jam this movie with a script that still needed months of development.

Summit Entertainment has wasted no time moving ahead with the next installment in Stephenie Meyer's bestselling "Twilight" series, "New Moon." But in an unusual move after the successful launch of a franchise that has already generated $138.6 million, the upstart distrib is not bringing director Catherine Hardwicke back to direct the picture. Summit and Hardwicke cite Summit's wish to rush the movie into production as one reason for their split. Summit wants to release the picture, which will demand substantial CGI work, by the end of 2009 or the start of 2010. A former production designer, Hardwicke wanted more prep time.
"Twilight" scripter Melissa Rosenberg handed in a draft of "New Moon" the weekend that "Twilight" opened. Hardwicke wanted more time to work on it; Summit announced it was going ahead with "New Moon" on November 22, with no director attached. Negotiations lasted two weeks before Hardwicke formally passed on the film Saturday.

As word spread through Hollywood agencies that the talks might not result in Hardwicke's return, reports surfaced that Summit was checking out other directors for the "Twilight" franchise while they insisted they were still negotiating with Hardwicke, who delivered the biggest opening weekend ever for a woman. (CAA denies that they were soliciting other directors.) The movie is still going strong as the director and cast promote it overseas; it came in second this weekend with $13.2 million, grossing a total $138.6 million.

The problem that stalled negotiations was that Hardwicke had strong opinions about what to do with the next installment, and so did Summit. The debate was how to focus the adaptation of the second book, which deals more with giant werewolves than vampires, as well as the long depression of Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), after her vampire lover (Rob Pattinson) leaves her.

But Hardwicke, burned out from her "Twilight" labors, simply wasn't willing to jam this movie with a script that still needed months of development.

"I am sorry that due to timing I will not have the opportunity to direct 'New Moon,'" said Hardwicke. "Directing 'Twilight' has been one of the great experiences of my life, and I am grateful to the fans for their passionate support of the film. I wish everyone at Summit the best with the sequel -- it is a great story."

"Catherine did an incredible job in helping us to launch the 'Twilight' franchise, and we thank her for all of her efforts and we very much hope to work with her on future Summit projects," said Summit production prexy Erik Feig. "We as a studio have a mandate to bring the next installment in the franchise to the big screen in a timely fashion so that fans can get more of Edward, Bella and all of the characters that Stephenie Meyer has created. We are able to pursue an aggressive time frame as we have the luxury of only adapting the novels into screenplays as opposed to having to create a storyline from scratch."

Hardwicke has other balls in the air, including two projects in the works with Groundswell Entertainment's Michael London, who produced "Thirteen.

I really hope they don't f this up.

 

[court4short]

I am not sure if I'm alone in thinking this, but I think swapping out directors might be a good idea. Catherine was fine and everything...but all the close-up scenes were a bit much, and the shakey filming left me a bit dizzy at times. New is good.

 

[LCTsMom]

Definitely sounds scary but at the same time, maybe she is burned out. It'll be very interesting to see how it all plays out. I hope Stephenie is able to maintain some control to keep integrity in place.
