According to several sources New Moon and Eclipse will be filming back to back with the same new director. Melissa Rosenberg is already working on the script (Gozde's note: Damn it! She sucked in the first one!) and apparently she found a way to include more Edward in New Moon (Gozde: which also sucks. We all want more Rob(duh!) but it's New Moon! We need to miss Edward, suffer with Bella that he is gone).

I kinda figured they would shoot NM and Eclipse back to back...the whole 'staying 17' thing does pose a problem after a while. But while I would obviously LOVE more Edward in NM...they shouldn't ruin the story to make more money. I'm not sure how they could do that without alienating the fanbase...and Rob.
Rob in dreams is the only thing I can think of...she DID dream about him in the book...but I'm conflicted on this whole thing.
Totally agree Goz I would prefer to see catherine stay and Melissa go she is gonna seriously mess it up if she includes more of Edward. It's not a secret that I didn't enjoy "New Moon" while Edward was gone but you have to go through that!!!
So are we all gonna audition then???!!! LOL
HI Rose!!
Hi Kate!!
Yeah...instead of being all excited about NM...I feel apprehensive now.
You are supposed to miss Edward...that's the whole point, isn't it? It's not easy to do...but necessary for the story.
Hang on a second ladies maybe it will be something simple. Not Edward in Bella's life more but just showing what he is doing while they are seperated. Like when he was hunting for Victoria.. etc.
In my point of view the problems I saw with Twilight was mainly in the script, but I haven't seen the original, I don't know who had the call to cut what parts. I loved the movie, but felt it could have been improved in several ways. One hard part for me was, if you watch the movie like you have never read the book it still doesn't follow much of a straight path. I know that most movies made off books doesn't, but it really doesn't tell the whole story. I am like alot of you, I went in there already in love with the characters, but disapointed when I never saw them say it to each other. And really it doesn't give them a reason to, just assumes it. I asked a while back if they would do like the Harry Potter films and use different directors for different books. I'm kinda hoping whoever they get, really does justice to New Moon. Its one of the most intense parts, Edward leaves, Jacob really forms his character, and Bella chances all to go save Edward. It needs someone with as much passion as CH and alot of broad insight. Don't get me wrong, I love CH and I truly think she did the most awesome of jobs with the budget she had. Summit is gonna have to cough up a better budget for this next one if they plan to keep the fanbase up for a 3rd and 4th movie.
Not surprised one bit by the fact NM and Eclipse will be filmed together. However that means Rob will not be doing any other projects inbetween like he is doing now with PPB. That is a bit of a bummer.
So what does that put Rob and the cast at....March to start and they did 2-3 months of filming for Twilight so I figure that puts them around 5-6 months of filming all together right? Well that means a Twicast decorating my city for longer than expected. Although I imagine with Summit they will try to keep filming to the shortest and cheapest schedule possible. Bastards!
Mellissa Rosenberg better not kill the NM script, that's my favorite book and if she gets Edwards return and love speech to Bella wrong, I will be livid.
I suppose showing what Edward is up to is one way of bringing him into the story...still conflicted.
I guess there is no pleasing everyone.
I agree about missing parts in Twilight, too. What I really really missed? Edward touching Bella. He was always stroking her face...pulling his nose along her neck...those sorts of intimate details. He barely touched her at all in the movie. Didn't he just hold her in the meadow? But in the movie they just stared at each other...no touching. Edward was so conflicted about touching her...but he did it anyway...that definitely should have been shown in the movie.
Morning Dani!
It's so cool that they film where you live! Lucky you!
I agree about Edwards NM love speech when he comes back...so important to get it RIGHT.
I really hate to say this, but whether they shoot them back to back or not, if she doesn't get it right on New Moon, they will lose over half their fanbase for the remainder of the series.
NM is my favorite book, so I'm really hoping they do it justice. I'm ok with more Edward but only if it's visions of him during her hallucinations or scenes of what he's doing his absence. And YES, Dani, they better not fuck up the ending where he lays all his feelings out for Bella - that's my fav part of the whole series.
Even though it's not going to be hitting the big screen all that soon, I'm still soooooooooo excited!!!
Was it me or did anyone else feel that the ast,actually no make that Kristen, was ad libbing a lot of the time?? I mean I love to count the times she say "ok" in the film. It was starting to drive me nuts!!!
I don't blame her for that but I do blame the scriptwriter!
Should be cast not ast!
LOL Kate. Yes. I got that feeling, too. And Rob says "what?" a few times as well..with a smirk on his face...
Ah hell...I have to pull myself away from my addiction for a while. Things to do, people to see. You know the drill.
Hope to see you beautiful ladies...later!
Bye for now.
Morning ladies! Getting my Rob fix before I start work.
About CH and all this stuff.. hmm, I was reading an interview with Paul Morrison, Little Ashes' director (BTW, in the trailer it seems like he really did a GOOD MOVIE with a lower budget than Twilight, so the budget it's not an excuse) and well, he said this:
"I think your job as a director is to tell a really good story, so your job starts when you work with the writer to hone the script. To make sure every scene is working, make sure there is no dialogue that doesn’t belong. That the movie as a whole has a rhythm to it, with the highs and the lows, and that it is coherent. So that’s your first job. Then you have all kinds of arguments with the producers about what they want to cut out of the script because it’s too expensive, and we don’t have the money to shoot it! So you try and figure out other ways of maybe achieving the same thing, combining scenes for example and working with the writer as well. They really are your main jobs."
Dani said she has a copy of the original script which was better than the flawed version we saw in the movie. But after reading Paul's interview, I think the FINAL version of a script is a director's job.. So, we have our answer about why CH was fired and not Melissa. IMHO :S
Morning Kate, and in several interviews they said that they were given the freedom to adlib quite a lot and if anything good came out it would be added in the film. For instance when in the trees and Edward and Bella were talking, the line about how it is normal in HIS world was Rob's. There is also quite a few scenes cut, in the trailers, it shows Emmet telling Edward that Bella isn't their kind. But never in the movie. And several scenes they talked about at Comicon was cut.
Hello Rose! Morning coffee is good, I thank my hub for my Sumatra. Ben is a man who is still after my heart.
I agree they really need to nail NM. Get the elements right so that they hook folks in for Eclipse. I have no doubt they will make BD although I wish they wouldnt, they have a big and fickle fan base to please.
The writing better improve, that was one of the major issues with Twilight. I dont think she captured SM's words very well. Sure she used some stuff strait out of the book but she didn't have that special touch that SM brought to the books. I am curious to see what she does with NM. I hope I can get a script leak like I did with Twilight. So many people in the industry over at IMDb.
Dani babe, your avatar just ROX the hell outta this blog!!!!
Bye Rose.
Hi Mona and Mich.
Good point Mich so that might well explain why Catherine is he one to go;-)
Did ye see the fangirls ar enot impressed with "Little Ashes" ? I had to laugh when I saw that!
Mona, I saw that to about the tree shot etc and I like that scene a lot bit sometimes it's very obvious they're ad libbing, you know??
yes I agree with ya Kate. Sometimes a little too obvious
Sorry for all the typos but I think you got what I meant:-?
I'm making christmas cards and checking the blog at the same time LOL
Dani, when you get half a minute, could you shoot me a copy of the script in email pretty please?
Hi Mich - great find, thanks for posting that interview. Interesting to think of CH's departure this way...
Kate - lol re: the fangirls not into LA. It will be good to get rid of them for awhile, actually. Let the screaming go away so Rob can see his real fans are normal. Well, sort of normal.
Mona --Hi, lovie...I saw the tree scene where Edward's about to jump...your daughter's right!!! :o
"Let the screaming go away so Rob can see his real fans are normal. Well, sort of normal."
LMOA, Trixie!
LOL!!! Made ya look! hahahahaha
So weird the way little things are caught the 3rd or 4th time you watch.. hahahahaha
Exactly what I thought Trixie ;-)
They're only fans for his body whereas us............emmmmmm......
LOL
No seriously we're fans of more than JUST his body!! {blush}
I was hoping they would shoot back to back. Maybe Catherine wasn't all that keen on doing that since now she's gone they are announcing it.
Love your avatar Dani nice to see your lovely face again.
I promise sometime soon I will sign up for Google Blogger. But the damm husband is always bugging about my addiction So I feel I'm always just doing fly bys (trying to keep my addiction secret)
OH Dani can you add me to your list of script senders??
cosaak1@excite.com
That would be great!!
Mona--I figured out what you said to me about that site...I already had it on my computer and didn't know it.
You have my heartfelt thanks xoxoxo.
I checked it out last night and that's why I only got to bed by 1:00...You are such a bad influence on me...LOVE IT!!!
Ellie, the worst part was.. since I was talking to her and her friends, I had to stop myself from saying, "Well if I were in her position I would volunteer to do it too!"
Good morning, lovelies!
Dammit, I just wrote my thoughts and my dog hit a button with his nose and it deleted. I will try this again in a bit!
I agree with you all that Melissa Rosenberg should have been the one that got the boot, but what's done is done. And yes hopefully they do New Moon justice and don't stray too far from the original story wth their Edward add-ins. And I am happy that they are going ahead with Eclipse as well.
Well gotta go run a ton of errands this afternoon. Talk to you lovely ladies later :)
hahaha Morning Lynn and doggy!
Mona--She probably already knows you would... :)
Hi, Lynn!
Just checking in and writing periodically, when I get a quick chance...
So if my writing is sporadic, you all know why.
I'm not getting into who's at fault with CH and Melissa Rosenberg...I'm just hoping that "they", whoever it is, gets it right for NM and Eclipse. No matter which way they turn out, it won't matter to me. I'll be there...
Well, I have to say that I am very disappointed that Catherine was canned from NM and Eclipse, whether it was truly her decision or not...I will miss her character driven vision of both films. And, I also believe that Melissa Rosenberg lacks the experience to write a great screenplay and it showed in the "queso" of Twilight's dialogue.
Hey Ellie, you start saving for your plane ticket and I'll save a seat at the theater and spring for the popcorn
Hi everyone! This is my first time posting since lurking for about a week, but felt the urge to say Hi!, because you all seem like a very nice, friendly bunch :)
hiya Talent, welcome!
Mona--Thank you sweets! Extra butter.
Actually, I would get into the issue, but I'm really supposed to be doing Weekend Reports with the class. Maybe tonight I can get into details...
To bella's mom--Thank you for the welcome :)
Welcome, Talent!
Hi, Talent---Welcome to the madness that is us!! :)
Ellie---I hope that your day goes well with your kiddos. I am fighting a cold and have to face my own carrier monkeys...I swear I want to wear a spacesuit!
and Ellie... bring Miss Kate and we will make her and Cassie sit wayyyyyyy away from us.. lol
aww Lynn I'm sorry you are feeling rough, I'll send you some cyber chicken soup
Mona---are you planning for the Twiconvention in the summer? BTW, I love your take on the whole CH/NM/Eclipse thing...very insightful!
Ellie - yeah, we are about as normal as obsessed fans can be :) And, I'm with you - not going to speculate as to whose fault the final Twilight product was, but am going to hope that the new team will get NM and E right. If we have too much Edward in NM, it will be ruined, imo.
Lynn - LOL "queso" of Twilight's dialog! Love that spanglish!
Hi Talent - it took me months of lurking before I finally posted. Welcome :)
Excuse me why are myself and Cassie Sitting away from you !!!!!!!!
Hi Talent welcome!!!!
Hello Lynn and doggie can't remember if I said hello to Ellie if not hello Ellie!!
Mona--It's a date! mmuuaahh!!
And Lynn, honey, I'm sorry to hear you're under the weather.Be glad you're not here. The temp when I woke up this morning was 8 degrees; Yikes! anyway hugs to you and have some hot tea with lemon and honey.
xoxoxo
Thank you, Mona! I felt it coming last night and was able to get some quality sleep.
My dh is still ranting about my obsession (his words) with Rob and he was bugging me last night. I finally got to calm down after I asked if he wanted to see LA with me...he backed off.
Aah Lynn sorry you're not feeling well. Hope you feel better soon {{{HUGS}}}
Off to have my dinner back in a while!
Ooh new hair post to keep ye busy while I'm gone!!!
Ooh that hair!!!LOL
lol Kate sorry babe I would NEVER make you sit away!! I was refering to Ellie's and my daughters. lol You my dear are MOST welcome to join me!
Good one Lynn! You get 2 points for that one, the old reverse psych!
Trixie--thanks, I live in San Diego, so, I jump back and forth with my limited Spanish. I often will switch back and forth with the kids that I work with.
Ellie---I am downing the Airborne and tea...I am sure that I will weather it well. My sister and I kid each that our ironclad immune are do in part to the fact that our parents weren't immunized until adulthood.
Kate--the Katie with Csssie is my daughter. And hi, girlie!
Lynn--It's a "date" with Mona and her daughter to see NM and Eclipse when they come out (yeah as if I could afford the travel!) :)
Mona---count my 15 year old in, she needs the input of other girls! Well, I am off, I will be back on this afternoon!
Olive juice to you all!
Lynn - bye and feel better!
Ellie - are you in NJ? I'm in CT. I was just a tad bit cold waiting for the train this morning. Hate winter.
Thank you for all the warm welcome wishes! You all are great and very friendly :)
This is actually really sad. It seems that Summit is more concerned with make money rather than making a good film. Does this bother anyone else? The reason they're not having Hardwicke back to direct it is that she was pushing for more prep time and a better screen write, Summit wants it to open at the beginning of 09 so they're going to have tons of special effects. You can kiss what you saw in Twilight goodbye, it's going to be a totally different feel bc Summit just wants to make money.
