But with New Moon I can see so far that it is going to be fantastic, I think Chris Weltz is a fantastic Director, he is doing amazing things with this film and I think it will set the bar for Eclipse and Breaking Dawn, the next director (which I hope will be Paul Weltz) will want to live up to the fans hype and follow in Chris' shoes.
I've NEVER followed a movie this closely and don't think I could ever follow a movie this closely again. Some of my friends tell me about these other really good vampire novels but try as hard as I might, I can't get into them. I get all wigged out when the vampires have fangs and turn to ash in sunlight.
Chris Weitz rocks and I really really hope that Paul will direct Eclipse so they can work together. In a couple more weeks/months we can start a petition...
Wow...sorry that was so long!
like in pineapple express when the guys like 'i run hot' and the other guy say something like 'oh, i run cold' and i was thinking hm...just like Jacob and Edward...
one is about vampires - one just fantasy like stardust!
i havent read the vampire one but sabriel is really cool
I'm a little apprehensive about Chris Weitz though, he has had such a hot and cold career! Does anyone agree or is everyone super-hyped about him?
Did I mention that I think Chris Weitz is going to rock?
I liked the Gold Compass too, I was bitterly disappointed with Dakota Blue-Richards though and I feel she let the whole film down with her fake London-accent that slipped oh so many times.
Didn't Chris Weitz produce American Pie?
But...then again...with my busy schedule, if I have time for a movie, I'd rather watch Twilight again. LOL.
I'm only completely fan-girly when I'm with my friends...honest 0=)
Unfortunately, all my local friends are 'so over Twilight' that I am forced to obsess online.
I am sooooo glad they chose Chris as director for NM. I really hope that his brother gets to do Eclipse and it would be so AWESOME if they could TEAM UP to do Breaking Dawn. I think it will be a huge undertaking but something the 2 of them together could pull off!
Or..it better...
:D
all us fans will make it number one!!!!!!!!!!!
move out the way harry potter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its edward cullen to the rescue waaahooooooooo yum
Wow, I'm amazed at what a hectic day at the zoo can do to you. You are so serious as well as inspirational today. LOL
Is this really you???? LOL
I can't wait for the Twilight blu ray disk to come out on May 5, which features the New Moon teaser trailer. I wonder what the highlight of the trailer will be? Bella’s sadness/jumping of the cliff, Edward’s departure, Jacob & Bella together, Volturi scene, the list could go on and on. I'm really excited to see NM! I can’t wait! To see the final NM product and everything just makes me shiver. Darn, France will get to see it first though on 11/18 (I’m so jealous). I just hope I won't be disappointed when I see it. I would be very sad like Bella . . . Okay, I should be thinking positive now.
Gosh, this movie is really making me extreme. I'm hoping that the spirit that's in the book will be captured in the movie because that's really the reason why we fell in love with the Twilight characters in the first place. I can't wait to see Kristen portray Bella's emotions when Edward left her. That was the saddest part of the book. I was so touched by it - it made me cry. I bet if she plays it well, she will have her first Oscar for best actress.
Yes, we are the money! :)
I really think that it will be #1 because it will be more epic than the first one. New Moon has cliff diving,shapeshifting,Love triangles, and more! I think New Moon the Book was amazing! And I hope the movie will be just as good. The first one was just lik Vampire,Human,Fall in love,Oh no bad vampy is going to kill you, Thats pretty average. But New Moon is going to be great!
IM REALLY EXCITED TO SEE MORE OF TAYLOR LAUTNER (AKA) JACOB BLACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<3
The Twilight film, brought a whole new wave of fans to follow the Twilight Saga books, and then there are the people that are just curious about the film.
Then there are the fans from the books on top of that!
It will be hugely popular no doubt about it.
Most popular of 2009...only time will tell, but it is being released in Nov when the rest of the big films will be released in summer giving them a few months advantage.
number one all the way
we can do it lol
And also...Do you think there will be underwater scenes in New Moon...or Eclipse...or Breaking Dawn? (if they make it, fingers crossed!)
I wouldn't under-estimate the series either or it's potential and power. That is what every critic, from what I understand, did with Twilight. It was panned, people scoffed and it was the sleeper hit of the year. I think there is a bias out there that since this is female driven base *mostly--not completely* that it has less power then something like HP or Transformers that have the more male driven, or equally driven base. However, there is a lot of passion for the characters, the series and loyalty--stuff that I'd say equals or perhaps in some instances rivals the HP chain franchise. Not to mention there is a great affection for the cast, namely Rob, that also drives this train.
HP is big...and I'll admit so my bias is open, I'm not a fan of that media chain. I don't doubt the fan love for the stories, characters, cast or Rowling. However, it's almost as equal to Twilight's affection for the stories, characters, cast and Meyer. Meyer has achieved something that even Rowling hasn't...all her books, her Twilight Saga have all reappeared on the Best Seller lists. Not to mention that Hardwicke's book even debuted at number one. That may not be remarkable if it wasn't for the fact that the Saga has been done for awhile now. So there is one thing different this time around, there is a BIGGER base than before, there is more coverage and much more media blitz--equal to HP then ever before. Harry Potter is probably big as it is, despite it's strengths as a book, because the series has been out quite a bit longer than Twilight. It's on it's 100th film practically with about 100 more to go...at least it seems to the ones not infatuated with the series. People have come to the series through the media, books, movies and the base has grown with that. The same is happening with Twilight.
And yes, HP has made "billions" from a somewhat younger base, sometimes a but younger than the Twilight base, but Twilight to come in seventh this year box-office wise, is no small feat given that it was an unknown cast, director who was mediocre in the media eyes, and a series critics claimed wasn't going anywhere. I know there is love to pit the two against each other--Twilight versus HP. Not to shoot down HP, but give Twilight it's due. It's a "baby" compared to the years HP has spent being able to lure in and cultivate its audience. In short, Twilight being as well marketed as it was, with the apparel, dolls, CDs, books, candy hearts etc etc etc...and it being a top ranked DVD isn't because it was "horrid" and "Crap". It's because it did something "right". Also, NM's debut in November will help it. Summer blockbusters will have died down by then, after spending their time in the theater's battling each other out.
I LOVE HP so I could easily go either way, but it's been too long of a wait and the anticipation since the last one was so long ago will either help it or kill it.
Plus, about the fanbases, a lot of us "grew up" with Harry Potter. When we were 16 maybe we'd go all out and show up at the theater for it multiple times, but now too many of us are well into our 20s and only bothering with the movies one time when they're in theaters or remembering the fandom when we're in a bind for a Halloween costume. Twilight is still new, fresh, and all over the media. You can't buy the type of craze surrounding New Moon.
They said on the show today that when they put the video up online, over 1 million people accessed it. Maybe NM will be number 1 at the box office!
(Posted this on the ET blog as well - sorry if you're re-reading)
I've never been so excited for a movie before. My stomach is constantly in a knot. I simply CANNOT wait for it to come. And I know hundreds of thousands of people think similarly aswell. I saw Twilight twice at the theatre. New Moon is my favourite book, so I'll see it multiple times.
And I live in New Zealand, and if I, and thousands of others feel the same way here, imagine what it would be like in America/UK.
There is no competition. New Moon will rule 09.
can't wait for november!!!
i really hope, that new moon will be the number one!
xo Izzy
everyone is just gonna love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
new moon will rock this thing on!!!!!!!!!!!!
while i used to not get twilght fans and be like omg nerds
my friend said the movie was awesome though a little different from book
so i watched the movie with her not in the cinema and loved the chemistry and plot story
so wat do i do get the colection of the books and finish them in 3 days actually less
and read some twice already
so yes this november i amgoing to the cinema to catch new moon you see more fans are going lol
twilight is my first obseesion ever never cared for harry or hsm like my friends
i also got them all to reading the books
so their in on movies too so is it going to top best definently
im sure it will be atleast iin top 3 but hope top 1
IF WE ALL WATCH THE MOVIE NUMBEROUS TIMES IT WILL BE NUMBER ONE !!!!
Sorry so long, but I wanted to give my reasons why I feel this will be the No. 1 movie of year. There are die hard Twilght fans from reading the novels, and then there's people like me who never heard of the books, took a chance on the movie, then read the books and I'm just as devoted to the story and how much it's sparked something in young and old. I really believe the Twilight series is the love story of the century and will be remembered for years to come. Edward and Bella for me are the Romeo and Juliett of this century and can never be replicated again.
And Chris W. seems to be doing a great job with New Moon.
I can see that it'll will definitely be on top in the box office.
Never underestimate the Twilight fans...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiZoJHBlPAw
and yeah i think new moon could do it... There id double amont of fans this time around because of the sucsess of TWilight
IM NOT SO SURE THE NUMBER ONE...LETS JUST HOPE
IM NOT A FAN OF HARRY MYSELF...BUT I DO KNOW THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE JUST AS MUCH AS TWILIGHT.
ONE THING IS FOR SURE ........NEW MOON HAS A LOT OF FANS THAT ARE JUST EAGER FOR NOV.20 TO GET HERE!!!!!!!!!!!
ONE OF THEM IS OF COURSE MEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
1. Most of the other "blockbuster" type movies are coming out in the summer (which is typical). So they're going to combat one another and knock some of the numbers down.
2. People don't have the money they used to so they're going to be a bit more picky with what they can wait to get through Netflix.
3. The Twilight Saga has a HUGE fanbase and we're just crazy enough to decide not to see anything else until New Moon is completely out of every theater in a 50 mile radius (yeah, that's totally me haha)
4. Some of the anticipated big movies are for younger audiences (Ice Age, Where the Wild THings Are) and it gets expensive to take your kids out to every movie they want to see (what with snacks and all each time) so they'll wait for the DVD for the ones their kids aren't as into.
5. A lot of HP fans have jumped ship. The audience it still there, but instead of seeing the movies 15 times like we used to...once will suffice. The timing has been off, there isn't as much media attention and no new book to keep the anticipation up.
6. THe media expose for New Moon just won't quit! So it's constantly in the public eye.
7. People who wouldn't pay to see Twilight or hated the movie are looking at seeing New Moon because it's EVERYWHERE and the new cast is drawing in an even bigger audience. Plus, some people want to see things that went wrong be fixed this time around.
All in all, it stands a pretty good shot.
and I love the poster! :)
I have to admit that I didn't see it when it was in theaters cause I hadn't read the book by then (I have a rule that book always goes first :)), BUT after a month or so I gathered a group of friends and went to the theater with a petition to screen it one more time which they did :D since then some people think of me as an obsessed freak :D
anyways i saw it 2 times in the cinema. but only because i was broke and i already downloaded it :'D because - well how could i survive without it since the dvd only comes out in may here? =/
i love the whole twilight saga i think its amazing !!!
new moon will defo make #1, and that poster was really good!!
i cant wait for the movie to finally come out!!! =D :P
BUT I adore Twilight.
I'm taking the day off work to go to New Moon.
And I'm sure I'll go several times.
My bet is New Moon will be number one.
OH YEAH LOVE THE POSTER
I'm IN!!!
This will be no sacrifice for me.... lol... I'm up all for making it happen =]
P.S. this means 2 times for me.
I'm actually going to call in sick to work that Friday and meet a friend at the theater. We already know we are going to have to see it various times....mainly because we know we won't be able to pay attention to what anyone is saying.....there are going to be too many hot people in this movie that we are going to be drooling over!!! LOL!
Hey, I need to make sure I'm able to buy tickets!!! I'll go to any extreme!!
________________________________
especially given the first one was not done as well as it could have been. many will fore go seeing the movie in theaters and wait for the dvd. as much as i love twilight, i (personally) would rather pay to see HP - who has a history of amazing cinematography and special effects - than a twilight that might just not be done as well.
however, i do think HP will suffer more than in previous years, as the book series was completed some time ago, and fans have not had anything to get them ramped up and exited for the movie.
Just patiently waiting is all!!
This is probably the best book in the series... so I expect that this movie will gross more than any other HP movie.
but who knows!!! New Moon might just be that awesome!
I know a lot of twilight fans are concerned about some of the changes- the music- the cullen house, etc....I for one am very open to those changes as I am hoping it makes a better movie. the first one (again, just my opinion) was dreadful.
Am so excited we get both this year :) And hopefully both next year too :) I might invest in one of those yearly cinema passes lol
I, too, am a diehard HP fan... taking into account the trailer that was just released this past week... that movie is going to be unbelievable especially considering the fact that we have waited so very long for it!!!
I really hope to be impressed with New Moon, after being somewhat disappointed with Twilight.
But again, realistically, the #1 movie probably won't be New Moon.
Although, I would NOT mind if it was!!! =D
TEAM JACOB!!
Also, even though Twilight wasnt as well known, it did amazing and broke records. NM should not be underestimated....I say with the growing popularity, it will blow the competition away.
I personally beleive that the Twilight followers have grown considerably since the movie came out!!! And I'm sure it's still growing! New Moon is going to make way more$$$ that first weekend than Twilight did....no doubt about it!!! Plus, like already mentioned, true Twilighters will see the movie more than once!!!
People have already seen advanced showings of the new Harry Potter film and many were disappointed by it, X-men too was released over the web but since it was a incomplete version this shouldn't affect the overall success of the film. New Moon has yet to complete filming you can't really say it's going to be the most successful film of the year, without seeing previews etc. However it has got an ever growing fan base and with many people already planning on seeing it twice if not several times it will be successful and you can almost definitely say that it will be one of the films to beat, but at the moment it might not be one of the films to beat for the most successful of the year.
get real, think about it
will it actually be number one - could it be no.1, yes - but will it be no.1 wid it bein among all these big names wid absolutely massive - yes, even bigger than twilight - fan bases!
i love twilight saga - specially new moon - but sorry, i am rooting for harry potter
brung the words right out of my mouth - but seriously lowest release 700,000,000!
wow
honestly i love twilight but just because all these hot - talented as they are, they dont get cred 4 that! - you're gonna see it?
Good job to whoever created it!!!
I may be murdered for saying this, but I doubt it will come out as number one. As I huge fan, I understand how many times people will see it and how large the fanbase it. But, as it stands, there are many other movies with large fanbases that provide good competition. I, for one, will probably see Transformers 2 more than once. I have not watched an entire Harry Potter movie, but the trailer made me question why I haven't. We'll just have to see.
No doubt New Moon will do fantastic, though! (:
seeing the potentials of the fans - yes, it could definitely reach no.1
i think, other years, there wouldn't really be a chance some film (not saying new moon is 'some film' HELL NO :'D but well youknow..) would do better than HP or X-men or something.
But it'll be close, i think. very close.
Eclipse will do better i think as it has more action so boyfriends will want to come and see it too. boyfriends may not see new moon as they may get jealous of all the wolf pack muscle guys. TAYLOR <3
i work in a cinema so i wont have to pay to see new moon several times. lol *claps*
TEAM EDWARD!!!!
Oh and the lunch room scene :O, his stare. I think I need to go watch it again haha
about saw the 5th one - er - about 5 times in the cinema
one with me dad one with me mum and her boyfriend one with me mates one wid dis guy as a sorta pity thing cus he was sad :)
and the other with me m8 when it came out and can i jus say - i wos not that pysched to see it but i am now serious about the series
because of that movie, and my love for the books, i am now crazy pyshco fan girl when it comes to anything harry potter
i cant even tell you how many times i am going to see the 6th one - you may be sick
haha - with jealousy!
nice poster at the top of this page!! it makes me get shivers down my spine!! cant wait to see the movie.
MY FRIEND FREAKED ME OUT WHEN SHE SAID JACOB WASNT BEING IN NEW MOON!! BUT HE IS!! NOOOO WORRIES.
IT NOT OFFICIAL UNLESS ITS ON STEPHENIE MEYERS WEBSITE.
I love Twilight but I also love Harry Potter.. both have a big fanbase..
I am definetly seeing both movies the first day.
I wouldn't be able to choose between Harry Potter and Twilight. (its good for me that New Moon & Harry Potter aren't being released the same day) lol I'll probablly cry when both series are finished being made into movies.
OOO and Transformers is coming out! Im so excited for that aswell. :) Oh and I may see xmen.
Good movies are being released in 2009 :)
Im not sure that New Moon will be Number one, but I think it will be close to number one.
sorry but i think all is a bit wishful thinking
harry potter has been round for so long, people have grown up with it - well, i have - and it is long enough to now be called - and i am proud to say this - a legend!
yes, harry potter is a legend
and once twilight movies are finished, i will go back to being the same old harry potter fan freak i was, am and always will be :)
And wow some people really did go watch twilight 10 times and more? And to say my friends and family think I'm crazy because I went to see it 3 times lol
http://www.max-dan-wiz.com/forum/topics/twiligh...
Personally I think it's a load of rubbish, considering one is posted on the 10th April and we know they have been filming since then, But what do you guys think, any truth behind these articles?
well, one of em is but i think that is the second one in 2011 or something
i dunno maybe i am wrong
Even if New Moon is a better movie than HP &THBP, there are way many more HP fans that have accumulated over the years.
& I doubt that people jumped ship just because they've had to wait.
Those people are NOT true HP fans...
I think the same would go for the Twilight series if the fans had to wait years to see the next one... although I don't know how many of you would make it!!! lol
TEAM JACOB!
I'd say all series though have a pretty strong and numerous base. Meyer's books all being together, the whole saga, listed on the NY Times Best-seller list together is no small feat. I'm not sure how many HP fan sites are out there, though I'd bet they'd be quite numerous. Same goes for Twilight. And I have no clue as to the fan sites regarding sci-fi films. Will Twilight be number one? Only time will tell that...but I do definitely think it will be successful and profitable and the saga is now firmly established. The other fans out there may be sleeper cells, but then again, not every Twilight fan/viewer is on the web partaking in the websites and posting. Every series has their sleeper cells out there.
ps: god i love these fan posters, these people have some serious talent!
is there any program out their for free on the internet that can let me do this kind of stuff?
there are harry potter fans
and xmen fans and so on
to me i believe that harry potter will do better i may get alot of heat for this but...
harry potter is WAY better than twilight the books and the movies
dont get me wrong i am a big twiight fan but
harry potter just outshines twilight sorry
