They had me at "Never Before Seen Footage from Eclipse"!!! Woot!
Ultimate fans of Twilight have a reason to howl with excitement: a sneak peek at The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Walmart announced today it will be the only retailer to carry The Twilight Saga: New Moon Ultimate Fan Edition on standard DVD, and Blu-ray, with never-before-seen footage from the upcoming The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Walmart also will feature “Twilight Saga Shops” in stores – a dedicated shopping experience for Twilight fans to bite into a variety of Twilight-themed clothing, jewelry, and merchandise, including new items to show their wolf- or vampire-fan pride.
Fans can pre-order The Twilight Saga: New Moon Ultimate Fan Edition on DVD or Blu-ray, as well as the national two-disc Special Edition DVD or Special Edition Blu-ray, today at Walmart.com. With the new movie and 50 minutes of extra footage and interviews, The Twilight Saga: New Moon Ultimate Fan Edition also contains an exclusive, 7-minute sneak peek of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. It begins with an exciting behind-the-scenes look at the production of the newest film. New interviews with stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, as well as with series-creator Stephenie Meyer, are integrated with revealing on-the-set footage of some of the key scenes and sets from the upcoming movie. This first-look at The Twilight Saga: Eclipse concludes with the world premiere of an actual scene from the upcoming film.
With the movie release scheduled for March 20, 12:01 am, fans can be among the first to own the DVD, joining friends nationwide at midnight release events in more than 2,600 24-hour Walmart stores. The midnight release last year of the first Twilight movie brought hundreds of thousands of fans together online and in stores, becoming the most pre-ordered movie and most successful DVD movie release event in Walmart history.

As excitement builds for this upcoming DVD release, Walmart will announce additional special events and activities for fans in the coming weeks.
Thanks to Walmart for sending us the info.
I just watched the New Moon London press conference with Rob, Kristen and Taylor. Looks like Rob was holding Kristens hand under the table. This confirms Robsten to me! What do you all think? Check it out at about 1:26

Oh, Lord -NO!!! Not Wal-Mart. I had going there. Itz like an endurance contest. Damn, this looks like a good version of the DVD. Guess I will be bringing my armor, AK-47 and bodyguard to survive the ordeal.
ReplyDeleteam I the only moron who can't find the "Ultimate" Edition?
ReplyDeleteAnd I might have to break my Walmart boycott, too.
What I do for Rob... it's endless.
WooT! Now that's more like it! ; )
ReplyDelete@cendrine, pre-order it online! Best way to shop, ever. No screaming masses, LOL.
Yet another version? I don't have enough $5's. lol
ReplyDeleteWill be seeing Eclipse stuff soon, anyways. I'm hanging out for the BD news. If they can deliver the director they are hoping for... I just want to know WHEN!
This is so unfair! I have already ordered the 3-disc special edition for Scandinavia, and that doesn't include any 'exclusive clips'. Really, why do they release so many different versions of the DVD?? :/
ReplyDeleteWatch out for lead content in the jewelry...
ReplyDeleteGah Walmart.. really... pfft.. I hope that they dont make him do the press/conference for Walmart again... that was just wrong..LOL
ReplyDeleteI guess i will have 3 copies of New Moon to match my 3 copies of twilight...*snickers*
Wow! I have been waiting for this-but already have Target 3-disc deluxe edition. GAH! Looks like I'll be breaking my "buy only one" rule. ;) That Eclipse footage and all is well worth it.
ReplyDelete@Suz-Yep-only for Rob....;)
@Gwen-I agree! Pre-order and save youself the grief. Although I did have fun at the Twi dvd release party at Hot Topic last year. ;)
ReplyDeleteMy credit card will blow up by the time I get all the different versions....
ReplyDeleteYep, Rob, you made me shop at Walmart....
I'll just be getting one version like I did with twilight. There's not a huge amount of choice over here :-(
ReplyDeleteI am 100% opposed to Wal-Mart, but damn it, but they had me at "sneak peek." We don't even have Wal-Mart's in the city of Chicago, guess it's off to the 'burbs I go.
ReplyDeleteNew interview with Rob as well.
Why isn't it March????
wallmarts ASDA right? - lets hope we get it too
ReplyDeleteWhy do they release so many versions? So they can make more money. 'Cause that's their job. To get the money in your pocket...into theirs.
ReplyDeleteAnd they better not haul his gorgeous ass to Wal-Mart this time to shill these suckers or else, I'm gonna burst a major organ.
And it took a, perhaps, clandestine hand holding under a table to confirm? Living together in a Vancouver hotel, spending a couple of non-working months together, and changing the status of their relationship from 'were just friends' to 'no comment' didn't do that?
Okay.
Omg...how many versions of New Moon do they expect us to buy? It's kind of not fair that they won't put all the "extras" or "exclusives", whatever they are, into one package....The walmart one will be the third for me after, Target and Borders...I won't even mention the one I'll probably buy at iTunes....I hope they all have different covers at least....lol
ReplyDeleteSigh. Already pre-ordered the target version. Guess I will have multiples just like I do Twilight. LOL. SQUEEEEE @ Eclipse footage!!
ReplyDeleteCrap, I was just going to get the Target version, but now I'll have to get the Walmart one. The question is how long will I have to wait after it's realeased, do they ship so you get it on the release date, or do they ship on the release date? I think I'll hold off ordering for a little while longer, the Lexicon is supposed to do a comparison of all the DVDs, so I can make sure I get what I want. Last time with Twilight, getting multiple versions wasn't so bad because I had a regular DVD player. This time I have Blue-ray, & that shit is expensive.
ReplyDelete@Nikola6: I thought it was all PR. I too am from LA and have friends in the business. I know this is done ALOT....I know of quite a few relationships in HW that are just PR, for show. So I assumed the same with Rob and KS, because of this "no confiming bit", never showing PDA...etc. But now after watching that video, it looked very natural the way he reached down and appeared to hold her hand. I think its great if its true!
ReplyDeleteDamn-Party at Walmart! =)
ReplyDeleteI've just ordered the 3-disc deluxe edition here in Italy for 27€ and it includes the EC sneak peak, yay!!
ReplyDeleteIt also comes with a cell phone charm and cards of E, B and J.
I wanted to buy the blu-ray too but I'll save the money for RM, Rob without all that makeup and in HD is gonna be amazing...
I already ordered the Target one; does anyone have an idea of the differences? Maybe someone helpful can make a chart of what each one has? I suppose I can get this one, too, if it has more features that I would want. Probably after I get a few more, someone will come out with a version with Rob and Kristen and Chris giving a running commentary.
ReplyDeleteOK--here is the comparison so far:
ReplyDeleteAvailable Only at Target - The Twilight Saga New Moon 3 Disc Deluxe Edition DVD with Bonus Collectible Film Cell. Included in this edition are the 2 Disc Special edition plus a third disc of never before seen content and a bonus collectible film cell- check back for further details. 2 Disc Special Edition contains over 70 minutes of special features including: revealing feature length commentary with Director Chris Weitz and Editor Peter Lambert; a riveting 6-PART DOCUMENTARY that takes you behind the scenes (Part 1: Life After Twilight; Part 2: Chris Weitz takes the helm; Part 3: The Subtle Details; Part 4: Time to Shine; Part 5: Tricks of the Trade; Part 6: Ready for the World); Band Rehersal Footage with Muse; and Music videos from Death Cab for Cutie, Anya Marina, and Mute Math!
Walmart-With the new movie and 50 minutes of extra footage and interviews, The Twilight Saga: New Moon Ultimate Fan Edition also contains an exclusive, 7-minute sneak peek of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

Okay, I'm feeling stupid here too, but I can't find the Ultimate Fan edition - only the special edition?? Am I missing something?
ReplyDeleteThank you @Martini Girl..
ReplyDeleteI feel like an idiot!
I didn't see that you said it until after mine posted! Sorry, eh, but at least you're not alone!
ReplyDeleteTwo morons are better than ONE!
ReplyDeletexxx
Exactly! It's a party
ReplyDeleteWell then darlin'
ReplyDeletemake mine a
Dirty Martini!
**shake shake**
ReplyDelete**pour**
Here ya go!
sluuuuuuuuuuuuuurp
ReplyDeleteahhhhhh that's better.
Love,
Suz, who is hip deep in Snowmagedden 2010
Wow, I haven't watched the trailer I don't think since I have seen the movie, but just watched it again and I *still* get goose bumps and choked up every time I see it.
ReplyDeleteI'm pathetic, huh? haha
Glad I could be of assistance Suz!
ReplyDeleteDon't freeze!!
Thanks, Solas,
ReplyDeleteFor Twilight, I ordered the Hot Topic edition, then was really disappointed with the 'photo cell'.
I got a fantastic 3-disc ed. from HMV later, with cool things like 'Becoming Edward' on it, and CH's video montage including the grainy, sexy kissing deleted scene.
Then I had to get my friend to buy my Hot Topic ed. so that HB wouldn't know I'd actually bought two editions.
Yeah, the things we do.
I think the link for the Walmart Ultimate Fan edition doesn't go live until tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI will NOT buy more than one version. I don't see the point of spending my hard earned money for the same movie. The extras will probably end up on youtube anyways. Another way is my sister and I get different versions.
ReplyDeleteLovesRob...
ReplyDeleteSweetie, I am so sorry. I had a bad night and a worse morning and then I came on here and first thing, I snapped at you. I didn't mean it.
Until they give an official 'yay' or 'nay', it's ALL speculation on our parts.
But that's why I stay off the blog for most of the day. If I hadn't, I'd have been snapping at people all day long.
Please accept my apology.
Thanks Marna!
ReplyDelete:from the drunk in the corner:
ReplyDeleteBurp
Thanks, Marna (and Martini Girl!)
*hic*
ReplyDeletewoulD anyone like anoother martooni?
@nickola6: Hey, no problem! I didn't think you snapped at me. I'm just as bad as everyone else...wanting to know what's going on with those two! Yes, you're right...until they confirm, if they EVER do. Who knows what the truth is right? I just always kinda thought it was a "showmance" to sell the movie...I know this sorta thing is done in Hollywood alot, why would they be the exception...but when I saw that video and it sorta looked like he leaned into her and probly put his hand on her leg or something, I thought...hmmmmm..... but who really knows but them right??
ReplyDeleteHi, which do you think is the best DVD choice? 3 disc Target's or this 2 disc Walmart's.
ReplyDeleteI'll appreciate your advice, please could you send me an email?
Thank you
