NEW MOON: WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING MOST

All that said, Weitz and Co. are only weeks into production, currently filming in Vancouver. While we eagerly await the first official production stills and teaser trailers for The Twilight Saga: New Moon, we've selected a handful of moments we're most looking forward to seeing on screen.

"Are you sure you don't want to see Tomorrow and Forever instead? Rotten Tomatoes gave it a better review." - Mike Newton to Bella Swan, Chapter 9, New Moon

That's right -- a Stephenie Meyer shout out to Rotten Tomatoes! Naturally, Bella Swan opts for the gore fest Crosshairs instead of a romantic comedy called Tomorrow and Forever, still hurting from her break-up with Edward. What better way to spend an awkward Three's Company moment, on a movie date with rival beaus Mike Newton and Jacob Black? Mike doesn't make it far into the movie before he has to barf from the carnage; maybe if they'd seen the better-reviewed Tomorrow and Forever, he wouldn't have left Bella in Jacob's eager hands! Rookie mistake. Always trust the Tomatometer.

We're also curious to see how director Weitz handles Bella's hallucinations; in the book, she discovers that her deep depression over losing Edward has created a psychological tic in which she can hear his voice when in dangerous situations. This leads to a handful of scenes in which Bella stupidly endangers herself on purpose -- essential plot events which are quite likely to draw criticism, being that it's an incredibly unhealthy way for a girl to nurse a broken heart. We'd like to see Rosenberg's script find a stronger way for Bella to move on with her life, in the same way that Stewart played an emboldened version of Bella in the first Twilight film.

Lastly, there's the pivotal Volterra sequence; as Bella and Alice race to Italy to save Edward, we'll see the lovers reunite, Edward's sparkling effect, and meet the Volturi vampires for the first time -- a culmination of events that will effectively set up subsequent films. The Volterra scenes have the most potential to inject excitement into an otherwise sedate storyline, given that Bella will be racing against the clock in an exotic locale, and will be introduced to a new world of powerful and dark vampires.
