Twilight

Totally love the Twilight series and REALLY hope that they don't ruin them by making a stink-ass movie. But from what I've read, and seen on youtube, it looks alright so far. I don't really like who they cast for Bella though - She looks to strong as a character to play the accident prone Bella

So they are finally making a movie on the great story of "Twilight"

I expect this movie to be a great hit, I have read the book and the story is awesome.

But how this movie fares will not be known, till it is released.

Will be waiting for this one.

As far as I'm concerned, it looks like a typical teen drama movie where it has a couple having to deal with some kind of obstacle. Typically this obstacle is social standing, conflicting moralities, or perhaps a crazed parental figure. In the case of Twilight, it's that one of them is a vampire. Now that's thinking out of the box.

I agree I don't like who they casted as Bella, she seems too strong and confident. Personily looks wise Robert looks exactly how I imagened my Edward.

If you look on IMdB they already have a page for New Moon. It doesn't say anything on it but you never know it could be our New Moon.

So EXCITED!

Looking forward to this movie after finally reading the book.

I'm so excited, i'm going to the premiere in LA!

Do you have anyone in mind that you think would have been good to play Bella? I've been thinking, and I can't think of anyone. I just imagined her more frail.

It comes out in NZ on 25th of Dec - so angry. However, Im going to Canada next week and it comes out over there on the 21st of Nov. Twilight here I come

I haven't read the book (yet) but do hope I get to watch the film.

i JUST realized that the film is out on the 21st!

i need to keep better tabs of such things. shame on me and my obsession with vampire lore.

Wow thats amazing!! How was it?? Did you go to the premiere in Westwood??

Thought you might like this Twilight Zone feature... (it's on hollywood.com) There are interviews with Robert and Kristen... plus so much more on the movie.

The overall tone I've got from reviews I read is the movie is nothing mind blowing.

yeah looks so. Looks pretty tame, might even be boring. I dont expect to see many good reviews on it at all.

BUT F*** that, I loved the series and I gonna be there for the very first showing ( well when it opens here). hehe

I just perused some reviews for this movie. It's at 43% at Rotten Tomatoes (and probably dropping). Glad to see it's getting the shitty reviews it deserves. 🙂

Seems pretty true ermm

Especially the point about little girls...as supported by this thread 😐

Big-Wig Movie Exec: "How can we take advantage, and make fat bank off, of dumb teeny-boppers that'll watch anything with cute effeminate boys like we did with High School Musical? I GOT IT!! Let's take that lame novel series and make it a movie!! Even if it's crap it'll make tons of dough!! I'm so brilliant!!!"

I'd never even heard of the books before I read about the film.

I didn't know Catherine Hardwicke was the director. I enjoyed her work in Lords Of Dogtown and Thirteen. I did read a bad review on Twilight, though. That's too bad, maybe Hardwicke wasn't meant for this movie.

Apparently everyone I know who's watched it loved it...... Dunno.

Were they all female teenagers or really skinny goth dudes?

Lords of Dogtown I adore, Thirteen was nothing special except for the mother/daughter scenes towards the end. It's nice to see a woman director working on such a big well known movie though.
