New Moon Set Visit, Day One: Twilight's Volturi Unveiled

Jason C Wilkerson on 07-17-2009 04:26 PM

How about we forget the New Moon write up and we get the last installment of Deconstructing Harry which we should have gotten on Wednesday? Where is it Matt????!!!!!!

Jen Yamato on 07-17-2009 04:40 PM

Hmm. While I understand your anticipation of the last Deconstructing Harry article, I cannot comply. More New Moon!

Great article! I'm feeling more and more confident that New Moon will be better than Twilight was.

Bigbrother on 07-17-2009 04:55 PM

I think it almost has to be. Twilight, aside from the casting was a pretty mediocre adaption which was severely shortchanged on the budget. For New Moon, we're getting the same cast, same story, but a lot more money put into making it good. Should be an easy success. One of my few concerns is the ability of the film to maintain Victoria as a credible villain with limited screen time. She wasn't exactly overdeveloped in the first movie and I have to think Robert Pattinson is going to enjoy most of the manufactured screen time. I just hope by the time Ecclipse rolls around we won't be like "Oh yeah, Victoria. Kinda forgot about her".

Jen Yamato on 07-17-2009 05:47 PM

Bigbrother, I wouldn't worry too much about Victoria. Rosenberg has alluded to taking the liberty mentioned here to insert more of the missing characters - Victoria, the Cullens - in the film...

Rachelle on set spoke with us about the extensive stunt work she was doing, so they certainly kept her busy.

I wonder though that when they do 'Breaking Dawn', are they going to adapt it according to the book or are they going to change things........ I am not much of a Twilight fan, but I am not a hater and I read almost anything I can get my hands on. The books are entertaining in a guilty pleasure way. However, 'Breaking Dawn' book sucks a hell lot. Even my mom and my friends who are Twlight fans hate the last book to death. I have no idea how they might be able to edit out the crappiness of the plot, but I wish that they would do it somehow.

'Twilight' was a so-so film, but 'New Moon' 's trailer looks great. Since I know that I would have to see this film with my friends (and again with my mom), I hope that it would be a much better film.

Janice Aries on 07-17-2009 06:14 PM

I agree with Whitey-Mcwhite... gimme the Deconstruction Potter Day 6! :D

GST on 07-17-2009 06:29 PM

Evil, evil, EVIL!

Somebody needs to make a Twilight/Buffy the Vampire Slayer crossover, I'd love to see Buffy show Bella how a REAL woman deals with pretty boy creepy vampires.

(no offense Jen... I think?)

Sean H. on 07-17-2009 08:32 PM

If your male and you like this movie/book series then well......your a douche bag. And not just any douche. Like, Summer's Eve' douche. Maybe even a nice Spring Fresh Linen scent. But a douche none the less! Goodnight Cleveland!!!!

Bigbrother on 07-18-2009 06:58 AM

You seem to know a lot about douche my friend. Perhaps first hand knowledge?

JettaJameson on 07-18-2009 10:13 AM

If you're going to insult people, perhaps learning the difference between "your" and "you're" would be a good idea, first. You're the one who looks like the douche.

Christine M. on 07-19-2009 07:56 AM

Sean H., why is it that a guy is a douchebag if he likes this movie? Because, honestly, I think all guys could take a lesson from Edward about how to treat a girl. I'm talking about the chivalry, being a gentleman, not liking attention-needing girls like Jessica, old-fashioned values, etc. And, guess what...I do know guys who are like this. Honestly, any guy, like you, that puts down this kind of stuff, is someone that is a total douchebag in my, and many girls, minds. Thanks for gracing our earth with your presence. :-)

Bigbrother on 07-19-2009 11:35 AM

Whew, You had me worried a bit there Christine. When you initially said guys should treat women more like Edward I thought you were going to go to the more bitey aspects of his character, but you brought it back and saved it. Don't sweat Sean H., There's always guys who come onto these because their ESPN isn't working and they feel the need to assert their limited manhood in some form. My advice is don't argue with him because he seems the sort who's too dumb to know when he's losing anyway.

Dreamer S. on 07-17-2009 09:09 PM

Needs more Potter.

But I am kind of interested in how Pattinson got kicked off set.

Shauna R. on 07-17-2009 09:26 PM

Thanks Jen for providing us more New Moon news and not the billionth Potter article! I appreciate it!

John A. on 07-18-2009 02:40 AM

I think writing "your" when "you're" is grammatically correct (twice in the same post) is far more douchy than liking Twilight.

Don't get me wrong, Twilight does suck, just not as bad as grammatical errors.

Sean H. on 07-18-2009 08:55 AM

I love you too!

Melissa K. on 07-18-2009 06:44 AM

It won't be hard for Wietz to do a better job than Catherine with New Moon... but I hope he does a MUCH better job... I have confidence, I've liked everything I've seen thus far. If the movie is half as good as the book this time around I predict a much bigger box office draw for it... Look how much Twilight made and that was ONLY because of the books...

Sean H. on 07-18-2009 08:54 AM

Internet grammer? Ha! You can't be serious. And yes, it does seem like first hand knowledge yea? Bah, I remember when the retorts were at least kinda witty...

Kasey C. on 07-20-2009 02:13 PM

Why does everyone who does not have a 'witty' comeback to a remark always resort to commenting about someone's online grammar? It just makes you look even more retarded than you did with your previous comment. I will read forums like this and see that someone had to be 'teacher' and point out someone's mistakes which tells me 2 things: 1 that this person obviously has way too much time on their hands, and 2 they have no friends to point out to them that commenting on someone's online grammar in a forum is dumb. So here is my friendly advice to all of those who think that commenting on how poor someone's online grammar is going to make that person cry all night into their pillow... you're wrong, and just wasted your time because no one cares. I hope this helps or hurts... either way it had to be said.

Rusty Broomhandle on 07-18-2009 12:18 PM

I opened this thread expecting to find people insulting the franchise and its fans, and I did.

Sean H. - you are the crusty remains of an over-spiced chilli's hasty exit from the rear-end of a coyote that found this meal unwittingly in the garbage heap of an organ disposal unit. Your journey through life is like watching an asthmatic gerbil attempt to suck an olive through a straw - could be entertaining, but ultimately of no use to anyone. When your relatives hug you hello, they make it brief, for they are reminded of what it's like to squeeze the bloody puss out of a bulbous boil.

Bigbrother on 07-18-2009 02:50 PM

Yes my friend, because calling someone a douchebag for reading something is the height of wit. Bravo Sir. You have really put us all in our place.

Bigbrother on 07-18-2009 02:52 PM

Thanks for the info Jen, now I only worry that they're not going to stick close enough to the novels to satisfy the hardcore fans who have made the original a success. As you can probably tell I'm determined to find something to worry about so I don't go into this too content.

TheVampireEd on 07-18-2009 04:02 PM

Hurrah! Hurrah for more awful awkward acting from amateur pretty boy Luke Perry wanna bes and dead pan expressionless girls!

Seriously, the first Twilight movie was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. With the same actors and actresses I can't imagine a sequel being much better. Besides, Disco Ball vampires are a joke.

Sean H. on 07-18-2009 04:23 PM

Awww! You guy's get a B just for trying!. A lil more effort and I think you guy's might get it. Mwah! God bless you for trying, really. What happend to all the heavy weights? No one cuts me down like Hank69.....sigh.

Rusty Broomhandle on 07-19-2009 04:01 AM

Sean H. - Ack! You and the bad grammar again. It's "guys", not "guy's". Never use an apostrophe to pluralise a word. "Guys" is plural for "guy", and "guy's" is possessive, as in "That guy's grammar is foul."

... and it's "heavyweights" - no space. "heavy weights" is an adjective / noun combination, whereas "heavyweights" is just a noun.

That's it, two weeks of detention and extra homework for you.

Kaitlyn S. on 07-21-2009 03:17 PM

Hmmm you're single aren't you... NOT suprising!!!

lolalovely on 07-18-2009 05:39 PM

Lovin' the New Moon coverage, Jen! Keep us posted no matter what the haters say. I'm confident that this one will turn out to be great and a big step-up from the previous one. Chris Weitz has a pretty good idea of how to fully develop the story, emotions and all. Plus, Fanning and Sheen seem exceptional.

Jessica W. on 07-18-2009 06:03 PM

I found the description for "Twilight" on here to be inacurate. I've found that the lifelong fans of Twilight, ie: the "diehards" and/or novel enthusiats' were greatly disappointed with the movie, while the viewers who had not read the books loved the movie. I happen to be one of the former. They didn't stay close enough to the books, imo, and somehow the dialogue seemed corny. Pattinson was a dreadful Edward. Hopefully he's improved in the mean time. However, I am really looking forward to seeing "New Moon", as the previews alone send a zap of excitement through me. Hopefully, with the many changes, this one will live up to expectations.
