MTV: “twilight experience”
Wednesday, July 29th, 2009Top 10 New Moon Facts Revealed At Comic-Con
Tuesday, July 28th, 2009
1. Summit Entertainment knows its audience, evidenced by the two scenes they brought to Comic-Con. Whether you’re Team Edward or Team Jacob, there was a shirtless scene for you. Who wanted to see the birthday party scene or the cliff diving scene, when they could get their first peek at Jacob Black hopping valiantly off a bike to strip naked to tend to an almost-drooling Bella? Or watch as Bella raced across Volterra in vain as Edward opened his shirt, stepping into the sunlight? It was such an amazing sight, Bella started running in slow motion.
2. Director Chris Weitz will use a lot of dialogue straight from the book. This was one of the biggest points of contention with the first Twilight, into which screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg had written quotes directly from Meyer’s text — with varying results. (”And so the lion fell in love with the lamb,” to which non-fans groaned inwardly.) In both scenes shown at Comic-Con, the majority of dialogue was taken from the pages of New Moon and filmed quite closely to what we imagined.

Q: What do you think the fans are going to enjoy the most about New Moon?
Taylor Lautner: Somebody like me would enjoy the action because I love action movies and New Moon takes that to another level than Twilight was. That, and it’s a lot more complicated this time around. It takes what her and Edward developed in Twilight and it smashes that at the beginning and then it becomes complicated until the end of the movie.
Kristen Stewart: Yeah. It’s not an easy story. I mean, not that Twilight was but Twilight was about two people who were already sort of conflicted internally, throwing themselves against each other mindlessly. It was just very impulsive. And, in this case, we had to think a lot more about what we were doing because it wasn’t instinctual, like a chemistry love thing. It was like everything in our movie is heightened. If you get sad, you don’t just get sad. It’s like you’d rather just be dead. I guess people experience that in real life, but in our movie, it’s more than that. So, it was just harder.
