NewMoonMovie.org: What Will Edward’s Sparkles Look Like in New Moon?

  • Skylines · 7 months ago
    I didn't really imagine the sparkles as glitter like in the movie, I thought they were more like... Hmm, I don't know how to explain it... Like little rainbows reflected off his skin? Does that make sense?

    I think Chris will do a better job with the sparkling in NM, I'm hoping that this time Edward will truly dazzle us. As long as they don't use that stupid sparkling sound effect again...
  • TeamRenegadePack(TRP) · 7 months ago
    Same for me, the sound effect was the turn off but didn't mind so much the sparkle effect; it was like, 'huh? Edwards sparkles make tinkling noise?????'

    But hopefully it won't be too, too different. I'm expecting CW's NM end product to be way better but I hope it has some, just some, similarities to Twilight so it doesn't seem like a totally different place, Forks and their homes, with completely different character looks.
  • TeamSpaceHeatersX♥KissedPauleX · 7 months ago
    lol yes that sound effect was not needed!!
  • midnight_meteor · 7 months ago
    I just joined to make that point, the effect was fine, the sound effect was the hideously cheesy part, lol
  • NICNIXS :) · 7 months ago
    LOL that's right :) i forgot
  • apprintz · 7 months ago
    Me Too! I don't like to comment on anything, but something had to be said about the "sparkle sounds"...

    They were awful!
  • i love rob · 7 months ago
    Hey....you changed your picture!!! Cute!!!
  • TeamSpaceHeatersX♥KissedPauleX · 7 months ago
    thanks I'm all for the wolf...although I could go to jail for these thoughts! ;-)
  • ErynJE - Team Chris Weitz · 7 months ago
    HA! *tinkle, tinkle, tinkle*

    *grimacing*
  • Team Wolfpires =D · 7 months ago
    yh i know wat u mean, i was definatly thinking rainbows. i know chris will do a better job than NM and i can't wait for all these half naked guys!
  • tweter76 . . . vamplover · 7 months ago
    Exactly! Like rainbows reflect off a crystal in the sun. And you are soooo right, the sound effect was laughable!
  • Carmen Richter · 7 months ago
    I have to giggle every time I hear that sound effect. I mean, really? Was that REALLY necessary?
  • tweter76 . . . vamplover · 7 months ago
    Cracks me up!
  • ilovetaylor · 7 months ago
    to be honest i thought the sparkle effect in twilght was really good, i dont know why everyone is knocking it.
    it was excatly how i imagined. eveyone has a different thought abou things when reading the books, like what some characters looked like.(i know that Aro in New Moon looks just like i imagined him to, well picked!) So i think that you can't knock it as they can't catter for everyones images of what someone sparkles like. If Stephanie approves it, it must look like what she imagined !
    sorry don't mean to natter on :)
    just my view
    i love this site and check it every day
    thanks for reading xxx
  • nadia · 2 weeks ago
    I really would agree, (even though I didn't see him reflecting anything --he isn't a mirror, ((and his skin isn't glass and cut to be like a crystal, with all those sharp angles)) nor did I seem him looking like Tinker Bell got ahold of him; I just saw him glowing, really...like tiny rays of shivering, muted light would hover ever-so-slightly around his skin, growing dimmer or brighter depending on what parts of his skin faced the sun; like the sunlight couldn't even touch his skin, just get very close and build up there.) but it doesn't seem to me like a lot of Miss Meyer's visual descriptions (or character portrayals, if I may be so bold) were followed very carefully, and with what technology can do these days..?? there's no excuse! oh wellll.
  • Kristy · 2 months ago
    You are totally right. I also think that the sparkling sound was kind of weird. And the look on Kristen Sterwarts face! They do it every time!!!

    I love the first picture. Kudos to the artist.
  • NewMoonMovie.org · 7 months ago
    It's fantastic, isn't it? I made this post really as an excuse to share the amazing fan art with you guys =D
  • Stephy8 · 7 months ago
    Thanks for sharing the fan arts are awesome!!
  • suitejuju · 7 months ago
    It really really is. Edward looks amazing in it.
  • tweter76 . . . vamplover · 7 months ago
    Thank you! It is just awesome!
  • Tia_jb10 (Team Pants Explode!) · 7 months ago

    Yeah, these pictures are fantastic - thanks for sharing! :)
  • Majnona (H.N) · 7 months ago
    I keep coming back to look at it. Really amazing work. Edward skin and facial expression are beyond words! I think I'll have it set as my wallpaper.
  • KINALuvzWolves · 7 months ago
    I originally saw this post on my iPhone so the art was much smaller and I had to do a double take. I actually thought it was a photo of Kristen and Rob!
  • TeamEDWARD#1 · 7 months ago
    i think the first 1 is awesome
  • ErynJE - Team Chris Weitz · 7 months ago
    When I read the books, I always imagined Edward's skin pale, hard and cold like white quartz. And in the sunlight...well, we all know what white quartz looks like in the sunlight...gahhh!!
  • emmett_freak · 7 months ago
    yeah thats how I imagined it too!
  • thatsoundsaboutright..pup · 7 months ago
    Mr. Weitz~ Please no tinkle bells for any sparkling in New Moon. Thank you.
  • tweter76 . . . vamplover · 7 months ago
    LMAO
  • Eclipse · 7 months ago
    I just hope that when I see Rob sparkle in New Moon I dont become blind
  • sherryberry · 7 months ago
    i think they sparkle should have the whole prism rainbow effect....like if you put a crystal in the sun......his skin should sparkle with diamonds and millions of multi coloured rainbows reflecting of his skin....
  • isazzy · 7 months ago
    yep yep yep, this is exactly how I imagine it too. I don't even mind if they go a little over the top with that because the audience needs to understand why Edward's sparkling in the sun would get him in trouble with the Volturi... If the effect is as subtle as it is in the first movie, the whole suicide scene just doesn't make sense!
  • sherryberry · 7 months ago
    i agree it should be overdone exactly for that reason too...i can think of 2 other reasons y it should be over done (with out sound effects)... it make sence in the book these two other reasons maybe not so much with the movies.....but just to try and stay more with the books i guess....

    reason 2: in the first book when edward is trying to locate bella in Port A. from those guys....he really really wants to go and find her but is really afraid of even light reflecting off his skin.....if it was subtle then he would have risked following her scent thru the shadows.

    and reason 3: WHEN breaking dawn is a movie...and they on thier honeymoon...they wouldn't need a privite island in the middle of nowhere if it was subtle in my opinion. (Besides the fact they have the money to buy an island)

    they should just save a little extra so eventually it can be EVEN MORE spectacular thru bellas NEW eyes as a vampire.....

    sorry ...i got carried away....and yes i refuse to believe in anything else besides THERE WILL BE A BREAKING DAWN MOVIE
  • Cjean>Leader of Team Leg Hitch · 7 months ago
    yeah, I agree. It is not supposed to be glitter, it is a Diamond effect, with sparkling faucets. Also, they better get it right this time around, because the sparkling in Volterra scene is crucial to New Moon.!!
  • IndiesR · 7 months ago
    I have no idea how it would look, and I really dont want to imagine, I want to be surprised when I see it. I'm sure it will look good! besides, its going to be Rob sparkling...he'll definately look good. :)
  • WetDishRag (AKA deedee81) · 7 months ago
    I better see sparkles and no bloody wind chimes!
  • thatsoundsaboutright..pup · 7 months ago
    Bloody wind chimes!!LOL!! I know~ I had to tell my "already reluctant about the sparkles husband" to ignore the cheesy sound effect!

    Please give us better sparkles Chris!! Sans fake sparkle sound!
  • IndiesR · 7 months ago
    LMAO
  • StephanieDJ · 7 months ago
    dito
  • tweter76 . . . vamplover · 7 months ago
    *laughing herself out of her chair at work* EXACTLY . . . no freaking wind chimes!
  • The Original Paulex Girl (TWP) · 7 months ago
    LMAO! Aw the wind chimes are just Eddie's sensitivity creating the ambiance.
  • joanna86 aka Charlie's Angel · 7 months ago
    haha they could get rid of the sparkling and we probably wouldn't even notice! LOL

    to me Rob ALWAYS sparkles! *swoon*
  • IndiesR · 7 months ago
    Of course he sparkles, he's a gift from the Gods!
    Sparkle on my little spunk. LOL
  • joanna86 aka Charlie's Angel · 7 months ago
    LMAO!.... I mean: I so agree that we have to find a new word for "agree"!! :D

    (and Rob sooo sparkles that we DEFINITELY have to find a new word for "sparkle"! LOL)
  • bean... I neeeeeeed iiiittt! · 7 months ago
    Some new words for 'agree':
    concur
    comply
    acquiesce
    accede

    Some new words for 'sparkle':
    dazzle
    shimmer
    twinkle
    glimmer
    glint
    coruscationn (!)

    Actually, they're all pretty bad! LOL
  • joanna86 aka Charlie's Angel · 7 months ago
    the last synonym for 'sparkle' sounds like a name of a tropical disease or sth :D

    haha TWINKLE! LOL! I'm so using that from now on!
  • bean... I neeeeeeed iiiittt! · 7 months ago
    Be warned - in the UK , 'twinkle' can also another word for a female body part (usually used by small children)!
  • joanna86 aka Charlie's Angel · 7 months ago
    haha you actually made me google it! LOL
    maybe if I shout it at Rob (if I ever see him :P) I'll get his attention ;)
  • bean... I neeeeeeed iiiittt! · 7 months ago
    Look it up on urbandictionary.com
  • joanna86 aka Charlie's Angel · 7 months ago
    thanks! :D I have a feeling I'll be using this dictionary a lot ;)
  • IndiesR · 7 months ago
    I have a couple words ...but I cannot mention them on NMM. Lets just say they are private, yo0u know, like your books. LOL
  • joanna86 aka Charlie's Angel · 7 months ago
    oh I see... *wink*
    I'd guess that some of the words may even appear in my books' titles
    LMAO!
  • IndiesR · 7 months ago
    I can guarantee you, those words are in your book., no doubt about that! LMAO
  • XcyberQueen · 7 months ago
    How about "Spunkle" ? ^_~
  • The Original Paulex Girl (TWP) · 7 months ago
    LOL! "little spunk" haha!

    Go, go Spunk Ransom go!
  • IndiesR · 7 months ago
    LOL. That's what I like to call him....he dosent mind. LOL
  • thatsoundsaboutright..pup · 7 months ago
    IndiesR~ He absolutely IS a gift from the Gods! Sparkle or no sparkle, could anyone be more desirable?!!!
  • IndiesR · 7 months ago
    No, I dont think its even possible for anyone to be more desirable, not mention perfect! LOL
  • thatsoundsaboutright..pup · 7 months ago
    IndiesR~ He absolutely IS a gift from the Gods!! Could anyone be more desirable??!!!! Sparkle or no sparkle........
  • i love rob · 7 months ago
    I figure....it can't be worse!!!
  • Nicole · 7 months ago
    HAHA! I totally agree with that. I think that was a horrible way to make him sparkle, and the sound... I just looked at my friend astonished that they were stupid enough to put that in.
  • suitejuju · 7 months ago
    I'll appreciate the improvement but honestly nothing will match my imagination.
  • twilightchic28 · 7 months ago
    i honestly think the effects were ok in the twilight film but there is always room for improvement with everything so we will see!~!
  • Irishgirl · 7 months ago
    Agreed. I didn't really have a problem with them visually. As you said, I'm sure they could be improved upon. My big issue was the sound. Did we need tinkling wind chime noises when he sparkled??? I don't recall Bella saying in Twilight that Edward sounded like a wind chime when he stepped into the sun. LOL!
  • emmett_freak · 7 months ago
    bahaha nice
  • Hazeena · 7 months ago
    yay,you`re welcome .those fanarts are amazing.
  • Elgrego · 7 months ago
    The second picture looks like she is laying on a dead body. Does not look like sparkles. Lol. Well that's just my thoughts. I think that chris w. will do a great job on new moon dealing with the sparkle effect. Cathrine wasn't really working with a good budgit so she couldn't afford the kind of sparkles we wanted to see. Chris has a good budgit this time so let's just hope and see what he can do. But I belive he will do New moon justice. I can't wait.
  • midnight_meteor · 7 months ago
    Agreeing with Skylines, it was the sound effect that was truly cheesy in Twilight
  • honey_bee · 7 months ago
    Wait...I don't remember Edward even sparkling in New Moon! Bella stopped him in the nick of time in Volterra. Do I need to revamp a third time? Not that I mind, of course. ;}
  • rukiafae · 7 months ago
    i dont think he did (and I've read the series 3 or 4 times now)...but they may be using 'flashbacks' or dreams or something similar and do it for those...
  • TeamSpaceHeatersX♥KissedPauleX · 7 months ago
    I've re-read the book 3 times too and I don't remember sparkles in New Moon. If they are going to add sparkles for the sake of it I'd rather then spent the money on something else like add another 15 minutes the film.
  • i love rob · 7 months ago
    Good call....probably flashbacks of the meadow, when she goes back to the meadow!!!!
  • tweter76 . . . vamplover · 7 months ago
    No, no sparkles in New Moon. hmmmm . . . .
  • hartsafire · 7 months ago
    it sorta mentions it as bella is running toward Edward, hollering his name, but its not enough to raise attention to himself. nevermind, looking at page 451 now and it says " the light refelecting from the pavement of the square gleamed dimly from his skin." make of it what you will, ya know.
  • sherryberry · 7 months ago
    i'm thinking that mabye the opening scene in the book....bella's dream..where she is old and he IS already in the sunlight...could be how they plan to make edward sparkle for us in the movie......i have no idea ofcourse....just a thought....i think they really should included bella's dreams in the movies....makes bella that much more special her dreams r usually close to to what will happen.....
  • hartsafire · 7 months ago
    good point totally forgot about that
  • joanna86 aka Charlie's Angel · 7 months ago
    maybe they'll make him sparkle once or twice just to show off the improved sparkling effect! LOL
  • ErynJE - Team Chris Weitz · 7 months ago
    Definitely revamp! (LOL)

    Who couldn't resist improving this?
  • NICNIXS :) · 7 months ago
    Is there any word on if he bothered to get abs this time??

    Not that i care in at all :) He's just lovely either way :)
  • ErynJE - Team Chris Weitz · 7 months ago
    Didn't he try in the first one and everybody told him to stop cause he started to look like an alien? LOL.
  • NICNIXS :) · 7 months ago
    LOL true

    I'll take him any which way at all :)
  • RustyHalo · 7 months ago
    Nice pun! ..."revamp" LOL
  • MoreThanMyOwnLife · 7 months ago
    Yeah...he doesn't sparkle in New Moon BUT....she does go back to the meadow. Leading up to it she says something like..."I remember my first time there..seeing Edward sparkle" or something like that. I'm sure it will be a memory...plus they need to explain it so people that have not seen the first movie and see the second will know what the heck is going on LOL.
  • darkelvenprincess · 7 months ago
    I do remember sparkles, when Bella is running towards the tower, there is a family close by and it describes it here it is:

    "Edward stood, motionless as a statue, just a few feet from the mouth of the alley. His eyes
    were closed, the rings underneath them deep purple, his arms relaxed at his sides, his palms
    turned forward. His expression was very peaceful, like he was dreaming pleasant things. The
    marble skin of his chest was bare–there was a small pile of white fabric at his feet. The light
    reflecting from the pavement of the square gleamed dimly from his skin."
    New Moon Ch.20. VOLTERRA
  • cassius666 · 7 months ago
    i kinda liked how they made him sparkle..it didn't really look like embedded diamonds, but what can you do when your not the director right.
  • hartsafire · 7 months ago
    I thought they did a wonderful job in the first movie. It actually exceeded my expectations, wonder how they can improve upon it. Can't wait to see myself.
  • edward_addicted · 7 months ago
    I agree with you they did a wonderful job and they didn't have as much money to work with as im sure they do this time. Im sure there will be improvements though ...Just can't wait till november.....it needs to hurry up and get here!!
  • MCJesus · 7 months ago
    I think with a bigger budget it'll be able to be better. You have to remember the first movie didn't have a blockbuster film budget like New Moon does.
    Although, I could have done with out the sparkling sound effects as well... those were unnecessary.

    Is it just me or did you ever picture him shine really bright, like not like glitter but more powerful?
  • rukiafae · 7 months ago
    i don't think anything they can do will match the imagination- am hoping it is at least better than in twilight!
  • lizhaas · 7 months ago
    I like the fan art. They represent more of what I pictured the meadow scene to look like in the movie.
  • lizhaas · 7 months ago
    I like the art work here. It represents more of what I expected the meadow scene to look like in the movie. And yes, the effects were cheesy in Twilight. Looking forward to the improved look.
  • YvettexD · 7 months ago
    It better has to be good, but it probably will be. The sparkles in Twilight were kind of weird. I want sparkles, and damn, they should be good :D!

  • Daniela23 · 7 months ago
    In the movie we see him sparkle two times and the second time was great.
    I loved how he looked when they were laying on the grass and sun shows. He really looked like a stone that glitters.

    I think they'll certainly try to do something else...and hopefully improve it.
  • Twi30light · 7 months ago
    I picture it like when light hits a diamond. Depending on how you move parts of the diamond flash brighter than others. Like his skin would almost have different facets and depending on his movement parts would flash brighter than others.
  • anen · 7 months ago
    I guess I'm the only one who wasn't complaining about the sparkle in twilight.
    It looked how I pictured it & ^^^the fan art looks the same as it was in the movie. They should keep it the same
    and NO don't make it "more powerful" that's just over doing it cause Now that would really be cheesy just take out or improve the sparkling sound affect geez
  • Nicole · 7 months ago
    No sparkling sound!!!
  • Jenn Rowles · 7 months ago
    Personally I always imaged it like when fresh snow is illuminated by the moon...you know what I mean? the slight sparkle/twinkle?? I don't know how to describe it
  • ErynJE - Team Chris Weitz · 7 months ago
    That is a great analogy! I know exactly what you mean! I also like my original concept of white quartz...but def snow in the sun.
  • Jenn Rowles · 7 months ago
    Thanks. And while I like the fan art Edward's to grey corpsie for my personal taste...The only part I like on the first one is the reflective nature of it on Bella's arm. Sorry..they are still really great.
  • joanna86 aka Charlie's Angel · 7 months ago
    I can't wait to see all of them sparkling at the same time in BD! THAT would be something! :)
  • hartsafire · 7 months ago
    I couldn't put it better joanna, it would be something to see.
  • ErynJE - Team Chris Weitz · 7 months ago
    I can't even imagine...

    wow.
  • ErynJE - Team Chris Weitz · 7 months ago
    Actually, I hope they don't wait for BD - I want to see Jasper sparkle now...or Alice...but def Jasper... *tells self to breathe!*
  • joanna86 aka Charlie's Angel · 7 months ago
    haha if you were the scriptwriter, the action would probably take place somewhere on the Hawaiian Islands! ROTFL
  • ErynJE - Team Chris Weitz · 7 months ago
    OME - don't get me started!

    A few months ago, I swore that if somehow, someway, I could be in the right place at the right time, I would write Eclipse and Breaking Dawn...

    I've still got my fingers crossed for Breaking Dawn...(naturally, I'm watching all the comments very closely on how to actually go about turning this book into a movie, just in case I get super lucky.)

    Must. Stop. Talking. About. Scripts. Getting. Too. Worked. Up.

    *spazzes*
  • joanna86 aka Charlie's Angel · 7 months ago
    hahaha BREATHE! :D

    I'll keep my fingers crossed for your BD script too! I guess they won't be too picky - just put a lot of Rob in! ;)

    (and if you succeed don't forget to invite us all to visit the set! LOL)
  • ErynJE - Team Chris Weitz · 7 months ago
    But of course!

    I'm actually waiting to hear back from a producer this week on a script I wrote and I have another one that just screams "cast Ashley Greene!".

    Eeek. I just can't even think about it.
  • RustyHalo · 7 months ago
    First of all I gotta say the first fan art pic is super amazing! I like the second one too though.
    As far as the sparkles go...I think anything would be an improvement over the sweaty look they used in Twilight.
  • rukiafae · 7 months ago
    I think you're right! I hadn't thought of it as a 'sweaty' look, but that about sums it up. Whatever it was- it wasn't 'sparkly'! lol
  • TwiFanatic · 7 months ago
    As long as they don't play that horrid twinkly music when they show off his sparkles, it will be cool.

  • FolsomBoogie · 7 months ago
    I thought the effect was fine in Twilight. It wasn't too over the top. Yes, the sound effect could have been left out, but overall I thought it was well done. I personally think it is silly that they sparkle in the first place, so I like that it had a subtle quality to it in the film. I was afraid he was going to shoot streams of light, like the Beast in his transformation back to the Prince. And like someone said before, Twilight was a LOW BUDGET film for the genre it was. I appreciate the efforts of all the crew. I am not one for special effects, so I am glad they were kept to a minimum. And I LOVE the meadow scene when they are laying in the grass. The camera work and music are PERFECTION there.
  • TheLionFellIn<3W/Ceci-ROBECI · 7 months ago
    I think the sparkling effect in Twilight was alright and since Chris has been winning my love and appreciation, I think he'll do a great job with this... although Edward doesn't sparkle in New Moon, we shall see what they use it for! Either way, I think we all have our own personalized versions of how Edward sparkles so it'll always be different for us =]
  • TheLionFellIn<3W/Ceci-ROBECI · 7 months ago
    OH and I LOVE the fan art... especially the first one.... that one is amazing =]

  • jessiecarlie · 7 months ago
    haha i think that everyone has such a different imagination that not everyone is going to be pleased in the end

    my best friend said she imagined like light rays sort of bouncing off his skin
    i was like wha????
    but then i get how some people could imagine that instead of just glittering diamonds


    and yeah that little sound effect is so gay!
  • Edward'sLove · 7 months ago
    I think they will show us Alice's vision as he is contemplating what course he will follow with the Volturi. They will show him walking out into the sun through her vision. At least that is what I think Chris should do

    I'm with SherryBerry on the sparkles, I was expecting to see rainbows thrown all around. The sparkle in Twilight was terrible and when I saw the movie at the theatre, I could barely see it and had to ask my cousin if he was sparkling or not. And please, SPARKLES DON'T MAKE NOISE, DITCH THE CHIMES!

    Hmm in twilight the sparkles were a bit ridonkulous to be frank but i really hope Chris Weiz can deliver Edawrd looking sexy and sparkly haha And the fan art it really cool and the first one really looks like Rob lol
  • The Original Paulex Girl (TWP) · 7 months ago
    GORGEOUS fan art!!

    Hopefully with New Moon, Edward will not look as if he fell into a barrel of glitter and wind chimes. However I can't complain too much with Twilight. They worked with what they could on their budget.
  • thatsoundsaboutright..pup · 7 months ago
    Mr. Weitz~ Please no tinkle bells with any sparkling in New Moon.
  • RunsWitWolves · 7 months ago
    He didn't actually sparkle in Twilight...it was more like he glittered. Hehe. The sounds effects were completely stupid and uncalled for. I'm hoping they stick more to the book with New Moon, so hopefully *crosses fingers* there will be no sparkling.

    Edward: "I'm Vampire ... Hear me glisten .."

    Thats exactly what ran through my head when I watched Twilight. Since when do we have vampires w/ glistening sounds effects?! I mean come on here ppl! LMAO That was horrible!!

    I always imagined it as being something soooo incredibly extraordinary that there would be NO way you could risk any human seeing you in the sunlight. That they would go running to the police and start freaking out. I mean it has to be something big .. thats how Edward tries to get himself killed in NM.

    Whatever it should be .. I truly have confidence that Chris will hit it dead on. It will be great. Or your money back!!! baahahaha They totally should have a guarantee on this stuff! : P

    loved the art!

    I pictured it a couple of ways. at first i thought His skin would be opal-like

    like this! http://www.kaijewels.com/opheart1.jpg like when the sun hit him the rainbows would appear as if they were just below the skin.

    then i pictured it as if he had millions of microscopic prisms making up his skin.

    like so http://apollo.lsc.vsc.edu/classes/met130/notes/... imagine that only times a billion and really small. i think it would make him look like he was glowing!

    the 2nd fan art...Edward really DOES look dead...Bella looks pretty though..
  • Vampish · 7 months ago
    I think that Chris will get it right, I have faith in him
  • Edward'sLove · 7 months ago
    I have always pictured Edward in the sun to be like shards of light reflecting off his skin. Almost like a prism in the sun minus the rainbows. Also he technically does not sparkle in New Moon, but if they show one of Alice's visions whe she sees him in Italy walking out into the square. His sparkle would have to be enough to draw attention from the crowds. He sees this as the best way to irritate th Volturi so it has to be something more than we saw in Twilight.
  • tweter76 . . . vamplover · 7 months ago
    Oh yeah . . . good thought! In one of Alice's visions of him in Italy. That would be cool. And I love your pic!
  • MeAndEdward · 7 months ago
    same here. the first one is pretty close, the second one is really creepy and slimy looking lol, but i always imagined the sparkle radiating from his body, not just sparkling on his skin...This might be a bad question but I've read the book a couple times and I can't remember when Edward is supposed to "sparkle." I'm pretty sure he doesn't sparkle at the end of the book? hmm
  • Anna85 · 7 months ago
    i think he looked fine in twilight but the sound effects bugged me.. his sparkles don't sound like wind chimes!! i wasn't so much giggling at his skin as i was the sound.
  • lovestwilight · 7 months ago
    Hi everyone! I'm new to this whole commenting thing, but I've been following it for a while and you all are hilarious and as absolutely obsessed with this series as I am! I just wanted to add that on page 4 of new moon, Edward does sparkle. It is in the dream that Bella has about "Gran", and I don't know if they would even include that in the movie or not, but that is the only instance I've read where Edward goes into the sunlight. That whole dream sequence would really be an amazing thing to see, so hopefully they include it!
  • Jemma25 · 7 months ago
    I thought the effect in twilight did not show he sparkled. If i had not read the books and not known he was sparkling it was not that noticable. Yeah and the sound was a little funny!
    That first picture is stunning!
  • rimo · 7 months ago
    that top one is amazing
    it makes my artwork look like complete rubbish
  • darkelvenprincess · 7 months ago
    I think that they will make him sparkle a little bit in Volterra, here is my proof:
    New Moon Chapter 20 Volterra

    "The older girl, just waist high on her mother, hugged her mother's leg and stared into the
    shadows behind them. As I watched, she tugged on her mother's elbow and pointed toward
    the darkness....The older girl giggled and said something to her mother, gesturing toward the shadows again impatiently....Edward stood, motionless as a statue, just a few feet from the mouth of the alley. His eyes were closed, the rings underneath them deep purple, his arms relaxed at his sides, his palms turned forward. His expression was very peaceful, like he was dreaming pleasant things. The marble skin of his chest was bare–there was a small pile of white fabric at his feet. The light reflecting from the pavement of the square gleamed dimly from his skin."

    one of the girls from the family that was close by saw him sparkling.

    uuh evry1 i dunno if any of yoo peeps havae remembered

    buut theyll probly use thaa schparkles at tha very beginin in her dream


    read it agen doods yool c it


    team jakey all tha way babe
  • agardenut · 7 months ago
    I like the first picture, and I was o.k. with the sparkling in Twilight, but the sound effect was waaaaay bad. Light does not make sound! I keep thinking though, you know how in Breaking Dawn Jacob shields his eyes, like Bella's skin sparkling is so bright? Yeah, I think doing what they did in Twilight was ok-ish, but it needs to throw off alot more light, colors, etc. That would be what I picture. But NO SOUND!

  • Wolf_girl · 7 months ago
    Well, they can't make him sparkle the way each one of us wants them to, can they? I didn't even notice the sparkles in Twilight until I really looked carefully and moved much,much closer to the screen. I think it can't be worse. And I'd hate to hear those annoying sounds. He is shining, not making believe he's Tinkerbell.

    Oh, yeah, I really like the first picture. Really shiny. I'm dazzled.
  • edward_addicted · 7 months ago
    I think i was too focused on edward to even here the twinkling sound...lol...but i do remember it a little and yes they could have done with out that, but it was still good.
  • thebrrridgeee · 7 months ago
    ok basically in the movie he did not sparkle, it looked like there was glitter on him, what an epic dissappointment
    i really hope chris figures out a way to make him really "sparkle"
  • DaisyTango · 7 months ago
    I'm sorry, but, the whole "male sparkling" thing grosses me out anyway, so if they totally bombed the special effects on that one I probably wouldn't even flinch.

    Honestly, if I walked into a meadow and saw some guy radiating glitter like a damn child's craft project I would laugh. To me, the whole thing's ridiculous anyway so if they want to abandon that whole track and put the money in something else, I would be totally fine.

    But alas, if they did take it away, I'm sure many people would be upset because it is a crucial element but I don't understand how they're supposed to make it better. What else can you do? Make digitally-rendered sparkles? The whole thing's laughable.
  • janat4peace · 7 months ago
    I imagined his sparkle to be like that of fresh, powdery snow (I live in New Hampshire), the way the sun glitters off of that.
  • LadyLautner · 7 months ago
    the first drawin is AAAAAMAZING!!!!!! kudos to the artist and what guy can look even sexier in a drawing SERIOUSLY?!!!!
  • sugar_3482 · 7 months ago
    I think the drawings are great, I just don't like how gray they made Edward in the first one. And I was very disappointed in the sparkle effects of the first movie. But I have to say that when I picked up my Blu-Ray copy of Twilight that the effects were a bit more impressive than just the regular disc. I remember reading a story somewhere about how Catherine Hardwicke was working on making the sparkle effect better for the high definition disc and I think she did a real good job there. But I hope to see a better effect in the rest of the movies :)
  • Nicole Barile · 7 months ago
    The first picture is absolutely breathtaking! <3
  • Carmen Richter · 7 months ago
    One of my friends commented that Edward sparkling in Twilight looked like one of those sparkly glitter graphics you make online. I REALLY hope Chris Weitz does better than that. And the sound effect...yeah, as someone else on here already said, I don't recall Bella saying that Edward sounded like electric wind chimes when he sparkled. That was SOOOO cheesy.
  • bella425edward4445 · 7 months ago
    i hope the sparkling will be better but i have faith in chris and i know he will do a good job :D
  • justme2583 · 7 months ago
    Wow great fan art!!
  • bella425edward4445 · 7 months ago
    ya i agree major props to the people who did them
  • ILoveStripperStew · 7 months ago
    The sparkling in Twilight was.. okay. Hated the crappy noise.
    I know hes supposed to *SPARKLE*
    but it looked over the top.
  • Kimoppi · 7 months ago
    I liked the sparkley effect in Twilight because it was glittery without obscurring his features. That was how I pictured it: The sparkles accentuate his looks, not distract from them.
  • Jenny · 7 months ago
    I think that the sparkles should throw rainbows out, like Stephenie said in her books. I also thought that Rob's skin
    looked sallow and it didn't look good with the sparkling effects. I really hope they don't use that strange noise for the
    sparkling either. Besides that I think it will be okay. =D
  • KINALuvzWolves · 7 months ago
    Ok I'm prepared to get beat up for this opinion but...

    The idea of a boy who sparkles in itself is beyond cheesy, let alone trying to recreate it in real life. Best of luck to Chris Weitz.

    Anytime any one of the vamps sparkle in the saga I'm like, "Ugh not again! Go indoors, please." It doesn't help that after the movie I always have the damn sound effect ringing in my ears as I read it, too!
  • cutesweetiezzz · 7 months ago
    I thought the sparkle in Twilight wasn't that great. It was sort of...painful to watch that part. I feel bad for saying that, but it's the truth. I expected more from the sparkle part. Catherine Hardwicke made it seems so great, but it wasn't. Edward was suppose to sparkle like millions of diamonds reflecting off the sunlight and I didnt' see that in Twilight. I hope it'll be better in New Moon.
  • aussiegrlnz · 7 months ago
    The first fan-art of Edward's sparkly skin is exactly how I pictured it to look. It looks like thousands of tiny diamonds, and that's exactly how Bella described it in the meadow. Hopefully the people of New Moon will go more towards that look than the cheesy rainbowish sparkles and the twinkling sounds used in Twilight.
  • pauu* · 7 months ago
    haha I love the first image....and the way I imgined edward sparkling in the sun was....idk how to describe it but Im sure it was not as they put in in twilight but oh well...Im sure chris is doing an excellent job and btw I love this page!!!!! keep it on!!!
    ps...srry for my english =/
  • twilight_lover · 7 months ago
    i think the sparkle in twilight was great!! no change needed!!!
  • brillobee · 7 months ago
    I totally agree, the sound effect was corny. The people who made twilight obviously have never seen snow sparkle in the sunlight. They said it was so hard to make something that wasn't faceted sparkle. I was thinking come look a the snow sparkle in sun. It's hard, smooth, but still sparkles and is very beautiful. Thousands of sparkles, that's what I think Edward should look like.
  • Erin Eigenberger · 7 months ago
    i thought it was hokey as all get out in Twilight, and you could barely even tell it was there. Plus the sound effect sounded like the sound clip they play in basketball games when someone makes a free throw.
  • ilovemasochist · 7 months ago
    Its eerie how these posters make him look as if hes decaying... exactly how I saw him in a dream of mine... yuck :(
  • sa10014321 · 7 months ago
    My thoughs would have been like looking at a prisam the sun light hits Edward and his skin shines like sun shining though clear water spliting colours of the spectrum i can see it clearly in my mind it is not outwardly dazzling but in the same way absorbingly beautiful. Because as Edward explaines in the meadow in the film everything about him attracts his prey so his sparkle should be the same it should be mesmerising other wise there would be no point to it on a preditor like a Vampire.
  • Azlina Mahbob · 7 months ago
    I think the picture made Edward looked dull and grey instead of sparkle and glowing....hmmmm
  • sandra · 7 months ago
    In the movie look's like Snow, when the sun hit the snow. Glow.
  • Areana_1999 · 6 months ago
    um....................................ewww

    That last one where Bella wears the red dress.. Edward looks like Lestat (from Anne Rice) after he crawled out of the swamps (Interview with a Vampire)
    - Sorry, no offense -
