Pre-Order your New Moon DVD

The New Moon DVD is now available for pre-order. But which one to choose?? MTV helps with this pre-order guide...

Both Target and Barnes & Noble are offering special edition versions of "New Moon." Target's is arguably the best, offering a second special edition disc (three discs in all) and a "collectible film cell." The only details they had about the third disc is that it contains "never before seen content," and also commented that quantities are limited for the film cell (so make sure you ask when you pick up your copy). The special edition runs at $36.99, but is $10 off for pre-order, making it $26.99. The Blu-Ray version is $29.99.

Barnes & Noble doesn't offer an extra disc, but does offer much better doodads than
a collectible film cell. According to the bookstore's website, the special edition comes with "a 'New Moon' Dreamcatcher Bag Clip, a metal dangle finished in antique brass that combines a circular dreamcatcher, a sculptural Wolf Pack-tattoo charm [and] a Wolf Pack jewelry tag, feathers, and crystals." The list price for this special edition is $33.99, but online B&N is offering it for $27.19. The Blu-Ray version is $31.99.

If you don't feel like spending some extra money on the various special editions, we found Amazon.com to be offering the best prices, with $21.99 for the two-disc special edition DVD, and $24.99 for the Blu-Ray. Wal-mart was 33 cents more at $22.32/$25.32, and Target was $1 more at $22.99/$25.99, so it all depends on your preferences.

Borders is offering the DVD at $22.99, but the Blu-Ray at a competitive $24.99. Fortunately, they're all well below the market prices.

As for what the DVDs contain for special features, UK website Play had a pretty specific rundown of what will be offered, but we can't confirm that they are going to be the same in the US as they will in the UK. According to Play (who's selling the DVD with a "New Moon" keychain), the documentary included is called "The Journey Continues," and the six parts will be called "1. Life after Twilight, 2. Chris Weitz takes the helm, 3. The subtle details, 4. A look at production, 5. It's not magic, 6. Ready for the World" (Target confirms this).

There will be four music videos: Death Cab's "Meet Me On The Equinox," Anya Marina's "Satellite Heart," Mutemath's "Spotlight" and Muse's "I Belong To You" with behind the scenes rehearsal footage. There will also be a piece called "The beat goes on: the music of 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon'."

There will also be a Fan Event Q&A with Rob, Kristen, Taylor and Chris — probably
from Comic-Con or one of the Hot Topic tours, as well as a bit called "Fandimonium" with a look at the "Twilight" fan culture. There will be a "Team Jacob vs Team Edward" piece, some deleted scenes, introduction special features for the Volturi and Wolfpack, an Edward and Jacob "Fast Forward," special videos on Edward going to Italy and Taylor Lautner becoming Jacob, and finally a feature called "Frame by Frame: Storyboards to Screen."

Phew! Now that you have all that information, where are you pre-ordering your "New Moon" DVD from?

Kristen Talks About Breaking Dawn

Kristen Stewart was at the Sundance FilmFestival to promote two of her upcoming films. While she was there she spoke to MTV about Breaking Dawn...

"I don't even know if it's going to be one [film] or two, or who is directing it, or when it's even going [to start]," she admitted. "I know that it's going to go, but not when yet."

The most important issue facing Kristen's character is the birth of Edward and Bella's baby daughter Renesmee. In Stephenie Meyer's novel, Renesmee's birth is so graphic that Bella nearly dies but is ultimately converted into a vampire and saved by Edward. While the scene is currently unwritten as far as the "Breaking Dawn" script goes, Kristen is eager to learn how it will translate from book to film.

"I haven't seen a script, but I'm not alone in really, really wondering how they're going to handle that," she said.

As important as the birth scene itself is the baby that is born. Will Renesmee be played by an actual baby or will she be given the CGI treatment? It's a tricky question that Kristen doesn't have an easy answer for, but one thing is certain — Renesmee has to be adorable.

"Little Renesmee, she's got to be cute," said the actress. "She can't just be this scary superhuman teeth baby!

Yeah, I am afraid of the creepy teeth baby thing too!!
(Note to spellchecker: Renesmee is not spelled wrong although I am sure you will tell me that everytime I type it :-)

A Little Late But...Happy 2010!!!

So I kind of went MIA for the past 2 weeks, in my defense there really wasn't much "Twilight Saga" news to report. Well, yes there was plenty of news and tabloid stuff going on with the stars of the movies, but we steer clear of most of that here.

Here's to a happy and healthy 2010 to you all! Looking forward to Eclipse this Summer (and our VIP Viewing plans for the midnight release)

AND thanks to Lisa & Marianne we know that Jackson Rathbone's band 100 Monkeys will be performing in Scranton sometime this year.

ECLIPSE Script Leaked?

There are several on-line reports that the ECLIPSE movie script has been leaked. Reportedly it is available as an on-line download.

I'm not sure how true this is, it may or may not be the real deal. I am not going to click the download link to find out, for two reasons....

1. I don't need/want to deal with any more computer viruses!
2. As hard as it for me, deep down inside I want to wait for the movie and don't want to ruin the surprise.

10 Things Hidden in the New Moon Movie

Chris Weitz has released 10 things that they 'hid' in the New Moon Movie...check it out here!

Bryce Dallas Howard Talks Eclipse Fight Scene

I believe someone referred to the Eclipse Finale as EPIC. Cannot wait! Bryce Dallas Howard, our new Victoria spoke to MTV recently....

“There’s quite an extraordinary finale,” Howard told MTV News of the scene that took weeks of intense fight training to prepare for. “That was very fun to do.” Howard was careful not to reveal any details about the pivotal scene, but she did concede that the battle will likely trump the ballet-studio fight in “Twilight” and the Volturi rumble in “New Moon.”

“The producers were saying it’s the biggest spectacle filmed thus far in this
franchise,” she said. “There’s a newborn army that’s been raised for battle. It’s a true battle scene.”

Cafe Press: Taylor Lautner Switches Teams

Cafe Press has a cute little feature on Taylor wearing a Team Edward shirt last night on SNL. Both shirts worn in the Twilight sketch were from Cafe Press.

Check it out here.

Taylor's Team Edward vs Team Jacob SNL Skit!!! AWESOME!

OK this is just HILARIOUS!!!!! I absolutely LOVE this, Taylor was great, didn't even crack a smile.

Taylor on DNL Tonight

Don't forget that Taylor Lautner will be hosting Saturday Night Live tonight! I'll bet there'll be some Twilight spoofing going on :-)

Lots of Talk About Breaking Dawn

It seems everywhere you look on-line, they are discussing Breaking Dawn and what Summit will do with this book-to-movie. Many people think they should break the book into two movies, while others aren't so sure (I, btw am one of those NOT sold on two movies). Whichever side you are on, one thing we can all agree on is that it SHOULD and WILL be made into a movie. Reports are popping up all over claiming that Summit wants to make it into two movies to a) capitalize on the financial success of the saga and b) be able to keep true to the very lengthy book (754 pages).

This morning Yahoo reports...

Big Questions Surround the Final 'Twilight' Film
by Chrissy Le Nguyen · December 3, 2009

Independent film studio Summit Entertainment has got quite a gem on their hands, and its name is the "Twilight" series.

The first movie quickly became a blockbuster box-office hit in 2008 despite early concerns that the book series' rabid fan following wouldn't translate to ticket sales. The second, "New Moon," has grossed over $481 million worldwide since its premiere on November 20. The third installment of the franchise, "Eclipse," wrapped up shooting back in October and is slated to release June 2010.

With the enormous success of the franchise so far, Summit is already working to adapt Stephenie Meyer's fourth and final book in the series, "Breaking Dawn," into a movie. Currently, the studio is deciding whether or not it's best to split the 754-page book into two pictures, along the same lines as "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."

According to Variety, a two-parter is the path Summit is pursuing for "Breaking Dawn," with hopes that "New Moon" director Chris Weitz will return to helm both pictures. If the two-film route does come to fruition, Summit would have to negotiate new deals with the main cast -- Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner -- since they are only under contract for four features.

But there's a bigger issue to worry about here: How will they transfer the complex and graphic storylines in "Breaking Dawn" to the big screen? With even the biggest "Twilight" fans split on whether they love or hate the book, there's no question that its content will pose a handful of problems for a movie adaptation.

"Breaking Dawn" contains -- SPOILER ALERT! -- huge sections addressing
the complications of vampire/human sex, an unconventional pregnancy, and the
gory birth of a half-vampire, half-human baby. On top of that, there's a chunk in the middle of the book where Jacob takes over narration duty from Bella, leading up to him "imprinting" on the newborn child (translation: The teenaged werewolf falls in love with an infant).

Nowadays, nothing is impossible with a bit of movie-making magic. From
a sparkly vampire to a boy who transforms into a wolf the size of a horse, computer-generated effects can work wonders. But just because it can be done
doesn't mean it will live up to expectations. Stephenie Meyer has even expressed her worries on her official site: "The one thing that I've never seen is a CGI human being who truly looks real. An actress can't play Renesmee [the half-vampire baby], at least not when she's a few days old... She would have to be a construct, and CGI isn't quite there yet."

Special effects aside, the mature and explicit nature of "Breaking Dawn" will be a challenge for the studio to keep at a PG-13 rating. They'd have to leave out a lot of the material or figure out a way to tone it down. But in doing so, they run the risk of upsetting fans. On the flip side, if the film version requires an R rating, parents may be wary of sending their teen girls to the movies. Tough call.

What do you think? Can "Breaking Dawn" be successfully transferred to the silver screen? Will it be able to stay true to the text? Is Summit up for the challenge?

Melissa Rosenberg Talks About My Very Favorite Scene!! (well one of my favorite scenes)

The tent scene proves (imo) once and for all how much Edward loves and what he is willing to do for Bella. Ahhhh love....

Twilight Saga screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg talked to Reelz the other day and
offered up some info about Eclipse. In particular, she teased the infamous tent
scene:

In Eclipse we’re going to see this triangle between Edward, Bella, and Jacob. And I think we’re going to see a lot of heat between these characters. Because Jacob has been so well established now in New Moon, he’s a real rival now. So I think he’s going to throw that relationship into upheaval. We had to have the tent scene. This is one of Stephenie’s favorite chapters in all the books she’s written. It had been building to this scene: Bella’s in a tent with Jacob and Edward, and they’re trapped in this tent, and Jacob’s keeping Bella warm. And it’s an incredibly tense scene — but finally these guys are talking to each other. And it’s a really interesting conversation.

Interesting conversation.....Ah, yeah I'll say.
