New Moon To be Directed by Golden Compass Director

Director Chris Weitz has been elected to direct the Sequel to Stephenie Meyer’s Best Seller “Twilight”.

Even though Catherine Hardwicke had brought in 140 million from “Twilight”, She was not Chosen to return and film the sequel.

The scheduled release for New Moon is 2010, but they’re not going to rush production until the Script is the best it can be.

“This is not a rush job,” Summit CEO Rob Friedman told the Los Angeles Times’ Big Picture blog. “The movie only gets released when it’s finished. I’d like it to be next year, but we’re not going to put out a bad movie to hit a release date.”

Twilight: The Movie Review

Disclaimer:
I’d first like to say, the movie takes bits and pieces from the book and also includes its own new features, but since I am reviewing the movie for the purposes of it being worth seen and not its correlation to the book, I will keep that to myself.

Review:

Twilight-

With the hordes of crazed teenage girls racing to the box office to purchase their ticket to Stephenie Meyer’s Best Selling Book “Twilight” realized on the Big Screen, reminded me where the word “Fan” originates from, Fanatic.

To me, it seemed like the “Twilight” hype formed over night out of nowhere, so I decided to see what it was all about for myself.
As I waited in line for a good hour just to be let in to see the movie, I thought to myself, this movie better be worth it. I looked around and saw the FANATICS crowded around, also as impatient as I was, some reading their “Breaking Dawn” novel and some prancing around in “Bite Me Edward” T-Shirts. As the Usher’s allowed us in, I kept thinking “this better not suck, this better not suck, this better not suck.” When inside, I climbed the rows of stairs to the top, walked down the aisle to the middle and claimed my seat, the lights went dim, and on Came the previews.
Again, the thought replayed as if it were on a never ending loop. The movie began after 10 minutes of previews, and I was finally about to put my thoughts to rest…
To my surprise, my thoughts were indeed false, the movie did not suck. On the contrary, in my personal opinion, I found it better than last weeks 007. Although it did take awhile for the movie to speed up, for an Action-Romance film, it was quite good.

We arrive in Forks, an ill-lighted, damp, and misty hole in the wall in North eastern Washington. Bella, a livid 17 year old girl, who relocated to her Father’s abode from her Mother’s home in Phoenix, Arizona,is the protagonist in “Twilight.”
Soon after moving in with Charlie, her father, she embarks on her journey into Forks High School where her life as she knows it will take an unexpected turn. While at lunch, Bella spots 4 individuals who stand out from the rest of the crowd of students, that is when she and Edward Cullen lock eyes for the very first time. Edward being a “Cold One” or in laments terms, Vampire, perceives Bella as a Human equivalent to the addicting drug, heroine. Edward lives with 7 others, which are also vampires, but they are pacifists, in a sense, they have learned to ignore their instincts and prey on animals instead of human blood. The other 7 being Dr. Cullen, Esme (his wife), Rosalie & Emmett (which are a couple) and Alice & Jasper (who are also a couple). With each passing day, Bella and Edward become closer and closer, even though such a relationship is forbidden.
Meanwhile, all around forks, reported killings from an unknown animal have been showing up. This “animal” is no other than another group of Vampires who thrive on Humans for sustenance…
