New Moon Released! Making Lots of Money!
The New Moon release topped $20,000,000 opening night!
Fans everywhere are squealing!
Critics everywhere either like it or don't!
And so on!
I have browsed reviews of the film, and have found that female reviewers and fans of the novels liked the film better than guys and people who hated the first film.
No surprise there.
There have been some calls for 'more action! Look at all those werewolves and vampires! We need more action!'
And some complaints of things being drawn out just a bit . . .too . . . much . . .
Many people feel that Jacob Black is a great character! Surely girls everywhere will turn from Team Edward to Team Jacob based on this film!*
Other people feel that it is not good that Edward is largely absent, while many say this is good, because Jacob is a better actor, better character, wears a shirt less, more attractive, etc, etc.
Some people are saying that the loyalty to the novel is definitely a plus for fans, but some people don't like that because they didn't like the novel.**
Film stills, set pics, images galore!
I have browsed the wonders of the internet to bring you these delightful New Moon film related photos. Let us commence the viewing.
This image is a still from New Moon and clearly shows Bella and Jacob having a deep conversation on some stairs. Looks like they're in a public building, since neither of them would have stairs like this in their homes. Jacob has not yet discovered his wolfy powers, since he cuts his hair when he does and here he is exhibiting long flowing raven locks, and Bella looks a bit sad, as she does in New Moon a lot.
Here we have a happier Bella with her beloved bloodsucking fiend/heartthrob Edward. They look like they're having a private moment, so perhaps we shouldn't be ogling them. This one could be either an early picture or a later one, but most certainly not a middle one because Edward runs off for a while there.
Breaking News: New Moon Soundtrack to be released early
Amazingly enough, the New Moon soundtrack is going to be released early.As in, you can buy it on Friday (October 16th)!
And it's because everyone wants it!
Yes, demand has influenced the producers and they are giving fans a treat by releasing it more than a month before the film is released!
Now, if only they released the film early due to demand . . . but don't hold your breath.*
In other news, Robert Pattinson can't get a date because girls just want to date Edward Cullen and not Robert Pattinson.**
*Because it probably won't happen
**He could always give up the role of Edward, but that isn't likely to happen either.
Meet Me on the Equinox Music Video
Did you know that you can watch the Music video for Meet Me On the Equinox by Death Cab for Cutie (you know that one they made for New Moon)?
Well, you can. Amazing. I can hardly contain my excitement at this.
In other Twilight Saga news . . .
New Moon Official Companion Released Today
The most exciting news of the day is that The Twilight Saga: New Moon Official Illustrated Movie Companion has been released.
This means you can go to a bookstore and buy it!*
The exciting part is the multitude of stills from the movie, behind-the-scenes info, and set footage.
Libraries across the country are putting it out for people to read without buying it, but if you go this route you won't be able to look at the pitures for more than a few weeks, or however long the library allows you to keep it.
Remember, this chapter of the Twilight Saga is very exciting and even has typical guy appeal in that there is action out the wazoo. As Taylor Lautner said, and this is a direct quote, "There's a lot more action than Twilight. It's more exciting — it has werewolves and vampires, which creates fights because they don't get along. Not only does the action step up, but the whole story line does as well. Now there's a third person involved."
New Moon Posters
Amazing things are happening! There are three new New Moon posters! Lookit!
To the left is the main one, with Bella and the Cullens, all of them doing that thing where they look pretty. Jasper in the corner is looking especially 'sexy vampire'-ish with his devil-may-care glare and casually tousled hair.
Right above is the wolf pack poster, in which all the buff Native American teenage boys stand around with their biceps and tattoos and general badassery.
What's new in the world of New Moon?
First off, Rachelle Lefevre seems to have gotten over being dropped from the Eclipse cast. Her recent interview reveals that she's glad her fans sent their love and affection and deep admiration for her prowling around after Bella in the forest, and that she hopes most of the scenes she filmed for New Moon make it to the final cut.
New New Moon Trailer!
During the VMAs, many exciting things happened, such as Kanye West being a bit of a jerk to Taylor Swift, but more importantly, yet another New Moon trailer was released. This is definitely the best one yet and shows lots of close-ups of the notorious Volturi, especially the sadistic Jane (Dakota Fanning). Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart also made minor appearances at the VMAs, but even that was not as exciting as the trailer, which indeed showed quite a bit of the two stars.
The trailer is on IMDb, and if you haven't read the book, beware of spoilers. This very exciting preview reveals a lot of the plot, even showing Bella's hallucinations and cliff diving fiasco and Edward's crazed Romeo antics.
Many Team Edward fans will be happy to know that Edward appears shirtless in this trailer, and it would seem that he has been working his abdominals almost as much as Jacob. Either that or someone pulled some very impressive photoshop-type moves.
What was that I just posted about?
Oh yeah! Carmike selling advance tickets to New Moon!
And guess what?
Now Regal Theaters are 'jumping on the Twilight Saga bandwagon!'
Yup, they should start selling advanced tickets to midnight showings on Friday.
So this is good news for people who don't live near a Carmike but do live near a Regal. Now we shall wait and see if AMC wants to hop on, because if you don' live near a Carmike or a Regal, chances are you live near an AMC. Unless you don't live near any of them, which is entirely possible (I happen to live near all three, but I'm special).
Keep checking and maybe even MORE theaters will start selling tickets!
Wait, When Does New Moon Come Out, Again?
All sources still point to November 20, 2009.
And today is September 1, 2009.
So why not buy your tickets now?
Yup, tickets went on sale for certain midnight screenings of New Moon just recently. Most people at this point probably aren't sure when and where they will see the film, however, some people have known for months.
And if those people plan to visit a Carmike Cinema for their viewing pleasure, then fandango is ready for you. Some cities' showings are not included at this point in time, and if there is no Carmike near you, then you're out of luck.
A least for now.
This dramatic move comes after AMC decided to start selling tickets to Avatar, which comes out December 18, 2009, last week.
It is highly likely that Carmike was inspired to 'jump on the Twilight Saga bandwagon,' a term we are fond of here, after they saw the sales AMC was surely already racking up for sci-fi thriller Avatar.
"Hey," some Carmike executive said to another one, "look what AMC did. We should do the same thing, but for a different film!"
