Film synopsis
Official one from Summit: Bella Swan is devastated by the abrupt departure of her vampire love, Edward Cullen but her spirit is rekindled by her growing friendship with the irresistible Jacob Black. Suddenly she finds herself drawn into the world of the werewolves, ancestral enemies of the vampires, and finds her loyalties tested.[/i]

Synopsis from IMDB: After Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) recovers from her run in with a vampire with a lust for the hunt and her blood, she celebrates her 18th birthday with her vampire boyfriend Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and his human-friendly "family." However, an accident during her birthday party results in Bella's blood being spilled and the newest vampire in the family, Jasper (Jackson Rathbone), finds it hard to resist. Edward realizes that he and his family have endangered Bella's life with their very presense and so he decides that erasing his family (and himself) from her life would be the best for thing for her. Edward leaves Bella with only one request: that she not put her self in danger. Completely devastated by the loss of her true love, Bella finds friendship with Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) and also realizes that, against Edward's wishes, putting her life in danger through daredevil antics helps her get through this tough time. But this is not the only danger she is in...

After overcoming each setback that her relationship with Jacob throws at her, Bella concocts a stunt that outshines all the others. After a miscommunication, Edward is lead to believe that Bella has killed herself and makes plans to follow in her footsteps. Edward's "sister" Alice (Ashley Greene) learns of his plans and alerts Bella, realizing that she's the only one who could stop him. They begin the race against time, knowing that if they do not succeed in saving Edward's life, their lives will most certainly be at stake, too.[/size][/i]

Awesome! Even though i havent seen twilight yet im still really excited for this!
New moon is my second fave in the series behind twilight, and theres a lot of scenes i want to see on screen!

So will everyone be watching this also? Its a long wait! But heck..

[xCloe]

I know!! hahahahahahahah

Mesa happy!

[emma23]

I seriously think im going to cry at this movie, when I read the book the first time and Edward left, I cried for ages, I had to stop reading for a while! Luckily no one was there apart from me.. and my cat. LOL.

But yeah, I can just imagine breaking down at that scene in the cinema, while people -hint, hint, Cloe! laugh at me for it! Haha..

I hope they do that scene well though, if it isnt sad then it means that they ruined it afterall!

And I wonder if they'll keep the Cullen's in it through out somehow? Because people are saying it will get boring if its just Bella and Jacob fixing motorbikes etc..
Ha, movie speculating already! Its still 26 days until I can finally see twilight!

[~ ♥ Mariska ♥ ~]

OMG, this is such great news!! I really want to see this movie and I hope they work it out great!!
I can't wait to hear Edward's voice while she is being so stupid!!! That would be awesome!! I hope that Twilight and this movie will be worked out great!!!

[xCloe]

Yeah, i'd probably be laughing (yes emma i promise i won't laugh at twilight but come on, to me, Titanic is the funniest movie ever made!)

I can't see one funny thing about the dramatic of Titanic and I might cry with Twilight or New Moon too! But it's good that Em already knows that you might haha.

[emma23]

Yeah I agree Anna, I dont see whats funny about titanic either, its a tragedy! Like R&J, and one of my fave movies ever (weird how i always seem to like the romantic movies..), so say that again Cloe, and ill kick your ass!! haha!
But there and again, as long as you promise to not laugh at the twilight movies, you might just save your ass! LOL

Hopefully they do keep the Edward voiceovers!
I'm curious as to how they will do the cliff diving part, like her underwater and everything..
Should be a great movie! Theres loads of parts i want to see! ;D

[xCloe]

Emma, you'll never be able to kick my booty! I'm the ass-kicking *friendly* around here (gotta stop watching Bad Boys, honestly)

Oh, and Romeo and Juliet? Second funniest film i've ever seen!
(that's gonna set her off. Just wait for the explosion and so called ass-kicking!)

LOL, funny that you know this would set me off, but unluckily for you, ill keep calm this time haha!
All i will say is, R&J is the most important and best love story ever! After all its the original, that so many others are based off of, including new moon!!
And its not even cheesy! Not really, i would say that 'ever after' is cheesier and funnier (though that is also a really great film..)
but yeah ;D

Btw, I'm really excited also! ;D

EW: NEW MOON RELEASE DATE AND OTHER DETAILS

Summit has tentatively released November 20, 2009 as the release date for New Moon. Keep in mind that this isn't necessarily permanent, and it can change!
They also talk about Chris Weitz being the possible director and whether or not Taylor Lautner will be recast to play Jacob.
Summit Entertainment has tentatively slated Nov. 20, 2009, as the release date for New Moon, the Twilight sequel, which means any director who signs on to replace Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke has to be in Vancouver by Dec. 15 to begin 12 weeks of preproduction before a mid-March start date.

Chris Weitz To Direct ‘New Moon’


The Golden Compass director Chris Weitz is expected to direct New Moon, the sequel to the hugely successful film Twilight.

According to EW, “Weitz is best-known for his work with his brother Paul. The two directed and produced American Pie and then were nominated for an Academy Award for best screenplay for About a Boy, which they also co-directed. Chris’ first solo directing gig, The Golden Compass, didn’t do well stateside but was a hit internationally.”

It was announced earlier this week that Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke and the movie studio Summit Entertainment were parting ways.

'Twilight' Sequel 'New Moon' To Be Directed By Chris Weitz: Report
Studio insists that a deal hasn't yet been made with the 'Golden Compass' filmmaker.

The last five days have been a wild rollercoaster ride for "Twilight" fans, as the film's director was told her services would no longer be required for the sequels, fueling speculation over her replacement, followed by a rumor about a supposed successor.

Now, it seems, a battle is going on between a studio saying there's no news to report and an entertainment magazine claiming Chris Weitz is getting behind the "Twilight" steering wheel.

"There will be a new director atop the 'Twilight' franchise: and he'll be a man," Entertainment Weekly's "Hollywood Insider" is reporting. "Sources tell EW.com that Summit Entertainment is about to hire Chris Weitz ( 'The Golden Compass') as the shepherd for 'New Moon,' the second installment of Stephenie Meyer's best-selling 'Twilight' series."

Although Weitz was indeed offered the high-profile gig, the "American Pie" filmmaker has spent much of the week contemplating his participation. According to "Twilight" studio Summit Entertainment, the deal remains unconsummated.

"No, it is not official," a studio representative told MTV News on Thursday evening (December 11). "We are not confirming anything at this point. He is not signed on as the director."

"We are not confirming," echoed a second rep.

Whether EW is hearing incorrectly from their sources or the studio is just biding time until it can make a proper announcement, this much seems certain: Catherine Hardwicke is moving on to future projects that will not involve teenage vampires, and a man is likely to take her place.

Twilighters have spent much of the week arguing with each other — and attempting to form protests and letter-writing campaigns — while debating whether they should speak out against the changes to their beloved franchise. Whether they'll warm to Weitz is anyone's guess, but at least the filmmaker can always take solace in the fact that the fanbase similarly rebelled against.

Wow, there are rumours everywhere, its been said that Taylor has been fired from being Jacob

And its rumoured that Micheal Copon (Felix from OTH) is going to replace him to play the older Jacob!!!
Source: Micheal Copen as the new Jacob Black

Note, this most likely isnt true as summit havent even confirmed that they have fired Taylor let alone find a replacement, but if it is true- OMG thats all i can say.
I dont know if it would be good or bad..

[~ ♥ Mariska ♥ ~]

Okay.... I don't know anymore!
I want Summit to hold a pressconference SOON! They have to confirme some stuff! Or atleast tell us what is going on!
I want to know what's going on with the new director!
And I just read that Taylor will be Jacob in the next movie too, so I don't have a clue anymore what is true and what isn't!
And Micheal as new Jacob... I just really don't know!

Note from Stephenie herself about the new director

Hey guys,

There's been a lot of worry and speculation on the boards lately, and I want to let you know what's going on.

First of all, like you, I'm sad that Catherine is not continuing on with us for New Moon. I'm going to miss her, not just as a brilliant director, but also as a friend. She has such a distinct, authentic voice that did amazing things for Twilight. I'm looking forward to every movie she does in the future.

And she didn't leave us empty handed. We still get the benefits of her amazing casting and the beautiful visual world she created. This foundation puts us in a good place for New Moon.

Summit Films is moving forward with a new director for New Moon. They've asked Chris Weitz, director of American Pie, About a Boy, and The Golden Compass, to join us, and I am very pleased to announce that he's agreed to be a part of our Twilight world. I've had the chance to talk to Chris, and I can tell you that he is excited by the story and eager to keep the movie as close to the book as possible. He is also very aware of you, the fans, and wants to keep you all extremely happy. (Torches and pitchforks are not going to be necessary.)

I'm excited to work with Chris and I think he brings a lot to the table, not the least of which for me is that he wrote the screenplay for and directed one of my favorite movies of all time, About a Boy. I'm really looking forward to seeing his vision for New Moon.

Below is a letter from Chris to you. I think you'll get a glimpse in this note of how cool it's going to be having Chris as part of our community.



--Stephenie

[~ ♥ Mariska ♥ ~]

I have to say that I'm convinced with Stephenies and Chris' words that they will make the movie like the book and I'm glad with that, so I think it won't be so aweful if Chris does it.
