It’s true:
If you have doubts, check out Summit’s website and click news.
I think a major part of this decision is the fact that the movie opened at #1, which only happened because of the amazing dedication of all the Twilight fans. Already, it’s grossed over $35 million. In a way, our movement paired with an independent movie studio to topple the giants — and did anyone ever really doubt that Twilight would come out on the top?
For the comments: now that you’ve seen what they can do for Twilight, are you excited for New Moon?! What part of the New Moon movie will you be hoping to see the most?

That’s really cool, I can’t wait! New Moon isn’t my favorite of the books, but it’s going to be interesting to see Jacob with more screentime, and I really think Kristen and Rob could pull off the emotions of Edward leaving. Plus, I bet all the Italy stuff will translate really well on-screen, seeing as the Forks settings looked so awesome.
Okay, I haven’t seen Twilight yet, since it’s not coming here until January 9th, but I have to admit, I’m dead exited!
I’m really looking forward to seeing the Volturi! Especially Jane, because Rob will have to do a very convincing writhing in pain and stuff. And I’m going to disappointed, ’cause I have Johnny Depp in my head as Marcus. I blame MTV Spoiler.
Also, I look forward to know how they will do the werewolves, and I look forward to seeing more of Jacob, and hopefully more of Jasper! Also, Bellas birthday party and when Edward leaves… I really want to see that.
Bella’s pain when Edward leaves her.
the werewolfes!
Aro, Caius, Jane, Felix…
the Porsche 911 Turbo 😀
I really loved New Moon, because it is such a sad book… and because I really like Jacob’s sense of humor haha!
As depressed as I was while reading New Moon..I still loved it…it was one of the most emotional books I have ever read! And after seeing Twilight, I am convinced Rob and Kristen will be ale to portray that emotion.
I am REALLY looking forward to the Italy scenes and more Alice! I just loved her in Twilight! I’m so pumped!
I’m SUPER excited because after rereading it, New Moon became my favorite book of the series. Yes, it’s sad, but it makes you appreciate Bella and Edward’s relationship more.
As for the movie, I’m eagerly awaiting for when Edward leaves and the clocktower scene. Those two moments have such potential in being put on screen.
Imagine if they actually went to Volterra…. Goodness gracious.
I’m so thrilled to hear the announcement!! I’m still on a high from watching Twilight yesterday, and now this.
New Moon is not my favorite book as I’m definitely Team Edward, but I think that I will be looking forward to seeing Alice and Bella on the way to Italy, everything with the Volturi, and Edward and Bella after they get back to Forks.
YAY!!!!!!! This just makes this weekend perfect. I can’t wait. I’m really excited to see how they do the werewolves. I could never exactly picture in my head how big they were. Also everything in Italy is going to be amazing!
Words cannot express my excitement. Excuse me as I go get a brown paper bad to hyperventilate in.
Twilight the movie was awesome @ first I was mad because it was over and it left me wanting more
I want New Moon to come out NOW!!
P.S. In twilight the movie my fave part was when Alice ripped off James’s head that was wicked
The main thing I am looking forward to seeing in the New Moon movie adaptation is Volterra. Not only that but I would definitely love to see more Billy and Charlie because I thought they were amazing in the movie.
Twiguy,
Ok, I was woundering if you new anything about the Casting for New Moon, because i wanted to adition for Jane…can you help me… i cant find anything?
WinniePooh
i just came back from seeing twilight, and it definitely left me wanting for more, and i get home and see this..its so exciting to hear that NM will be made!!
im looking forward to seeing when edward leaves bella, bella doing all those things just to hear edward’s voice again, and of course, Alice’s 911 Porsche turbo 😀
woooooO!
Yay omg now i cant wait!!! the next movie is going to be great. i really hope they develope jacob and bella’s relationship more because he wasn’t really in twilight the movie much. edward is awesome, but i cant wait to see more of jacob and the pack!
Hey Kaleb thanks for posting this for all of us! im super excited that they have decided to keep going with the movies. I can’t wait for New Moon. im really looking forward to bella cliff diving and of course seeing volterra!! yay
I would be super excited for New Moon if they got a new actor to play Edward Cullen. I cringed so much during Twilight because of his acting skills, or should i say lack there of. I would have loved the movie except for his acting and weird ass expressions he made….I think i will prolly watch the movie again, just to give it a second chance, but Robert, you need to take acting lessons.
OMG! IM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!
im looking forward to when edward leaves.. well not ‘looking forward’ exactly i just want to see how theyre gonna do that part..
i know im gonna cry lol
oh and the cliff scene, mortorcycle scene, VOLTERRA SCENE!, i want to see who gets cast to play the Volturi! WOOOO!
OHH AND WE GET TO SEE MORE OF TAYLOR LAUTNER!! ahh hes so hot :]
I just want to watch it NOW! haha i cant wait!!!
I mostly want to see how edward leaves bella and i wanna see bellas face when after the whole “October…November…Becember…January” thing
I’m super pumped for New Moon after seeing Twilight. I’m definitely looking forward to the scene in Volterra, but even more, seeing the Volturi. Not to mention, how they’re going to flesh out when Edward tells Bella the truth. Yay sequels!!! 🙂
Yay! I know!
I was thrilled when I found out. NM is my least fav, but has some of my favorite scenes.
I want to see the birthday party, since I adore that part.
I want to see the October Novemeber December January part, as that part makes me cry every time I read it and want to see it translate to film.
I want to see the cliff diving and Alice coming back.
I want to see the Volturi.
I don’t, however, want to see Jacob. BLEH JACOB! I’m a cruel person, during the credit’s when Taylor came up I shouted “JACOB SUCKS” at the top of my lungs.
I am excited to see the development of Jacob’s personality and his growth on the screen
omg!!!
i just got this email and im so excited!
something new to look forward to…
i personally want to see the cliff diving!
how frickin awesome will that be?
I cannot wait until New Moon comes out! I am so excited to see it already!! I thought Twilight was fantastic and they did a great job with the movie and I am very impatient to see New Moon! I cried at the end of the movie when Bella tells Edward not to leave her because I knew he was going to. I was ready for it to start immediately after the movie. What I want to see most is the cliff diving and the part in Italy where Edward and Bella are finally reunited! That scene will be completely worth 2 hours of disgusting Jacob!
as long as jacob isn’t replaced, i’m insanely excited for new moon!
YES! New Moon is my favorite out of all the books. I want to see more of Jacob, the werewolves, the Volturi, Bella trying to hear Edward’s voice, going to Italy… I think it’ll make an awesome movie!
I can’t wait until New moon is out! Though, i haven’t even seen Twilight yet! So jeaslous of America at this moment in time! Grrrrrrr, why can’t it be out here!
Anyway, new moon will be the best. Can’t wait to see Edward going to Ltaly, where Bella sees him again, oh and Bell’a dream, if they put that it. I hope they do, where Edward says he’s not leaving and bella thinks it’s a dream.
I haven’t seen the movie yet..and I won’t be able to see it till janaury 15th (yeah living in germany sucks)…but I think it will be great and I can’t wait for the new moon movie .I’m really excited.
What I’m looking forward to most?
Probably the volturi and jacob. I haven’t come up with any working idea how they’ll make taylor grow *lol*…
im looking forward to seeing everything about the werewolfs. and mostly how all the emotions play out. and im curiouse who will play leah.
Yay! New Moon is my second favorite book out of the series – second only to twilight of course! I loved it because you can see how strong Bella and Edward’s relationship is. I am excited to see the Volturi. OHH and of course the werewolves! I’m wondering if they’re going to leave the whole movie as Bella’s POV or maybe add Edward’s in there also.
WWWWOOOOOWWWW! I can’t wait, even if it won’t be until next year sometime. I haven’t seen Twilight yet as it isn’t out here yet. But everyone has told me it is fab, and I bet New Moon would be fab on screen, especially the parts in Italy!!!
This is the first time I’ve looked at your website – and I have to say I’m really impressed. I read through a lot of your commentary and I agree with a lot of what you said – actually I felt like I enjoyed the book more after reading what you had to say about the subtleties of Stephanie Meyer’s writing.
Anyway – about the New Moon movie, although I didn’t like the Edward Cullen pick (look – not acting because I thought he did a good job, even though he brought in his own touch which wasn’t exactly how I saw Edward in the books), I’m really looking forward to the new movie. The first movie did an amazing job keeping witht he book, even though they changed some of the dialog (which annoyed me), as well as the new tires versus chains — which makes me want to see the New Moon movie even more. I especially want to see how they show the transformation of werewolves (also how the actors need to grow larger/taller) and their communication between the pack – though some of that might be not shown until the 3rd…. I also want to see how they handle Bella dealing with Edward’s disappearance and how they show Bella and Jacob’s relationship develop.
I really hope they do a good job, because I do not think I can enter into the theator with as low of expectations as I did with Twilight this go around. They did too well keeping to it, so they better do the same 🙂
-really, really, really loud fangirl squeal- Oh my God I am so excited!! I think the scene I am looking forward to the most is when they deal with the Volturi. that will be really cool. I also can’t wait for taylor to get rid of his wig. so I am looking forward to Jacob becoming a werewolf. haha. 🙂
I’m looking forward to just seeing the movie in general! But I really want to see the werewolves, Volturi, and the reunion between Edward and Bella.
I’m really looking forward to seeing how they make the wolves look. That’s gonna take some creative minds.
And if they’ll manage to keep the some level of the humor in Twilight in such a sad story.
And Voltera… it’s my home!
I wonder how well Kristen will be able to portry the depths of bella’s sadness. And of course the important question…. WHO WILL PLAY THE VOLTURI????? I am wondering most about Jane and Aro. I was blown away by the first and am eagerly awaiting the next one.
Oh and KCurls has a point. How ill the wolves look?
oh, i love aro so much. new moon doesn’t have quite so much character introduction to slog through. yay!
Ahhhh New Moon! I am excited to see Alice coming back until the end with the vote at the Cullen dining table. All of that is so amazing! I really hope they keep at least part of the conversation between Edward and Bella in her bedroom at the end, especially the lines: “When I told you I didn’t love you, it was the very blackest form of blasphemy” and “Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night”. And I really want the Edward voice Bella hears in her head to be extremely prominent throughout the middle, because it’s so hard for me to read the depressing middle section, and that’s one of the few times Bella feels happy is when she hears his voice. And I think it will be cool to see Kristen play that out on screen, especially cool voice overs about how she thinks she’s going crazy lol.
Now, before seeing Twilight, I was dreading New Moon because of the middle Jacob-filled section. But after seeing Twilight I love the teensy bits of friendship chemistry Kristen and Taylor had on screen and I’m excited to see that develop in NM. I like Jacob a whole lot better in the movies than I do in the books.
I’m definitely looking foward to Kristen’s performance in New Moon. I loved her hysterical breakdown in the hospital when Edward mentioned leaving. Her crazy desperation was obvious, and I think she’ll do a great job with this in New Moon. And I’m happy that they set the stage for NM and made various references to the next book (Edward mentioning wolves coming to Bella when he left her for a few minutes). If they do as good a job with NM as they did with Twilight (only with better special effects and less awkward camera angles) it’ll be great as well.
Catatonic Bella! That’s what I want to see the most. That and Jake teaching her how to ride the motorcycle. I’m actually dreading the goodbye scene. I have a feeling that it will have me in tears, I know the book did.
Ooo, all of the scenes with the Voultori! That should be really cool!
OME I’m so excited that I’m calm 🙂 I seriously can’t wait!!!!!! If Eclipse or BD ever comes out we’ll be the like 20 years old :P…. imagine how old Rob and Kristen will be!!!!! The scene they HAVE to do is the cliff diving scene. I’m giddy with excitment ahhhh!!!!!!!!!!
SWEET! I am incredibly excited! I really love how they translated Twilight to the big screen and I am SO looking forward to this! I can not wait for Italy and the Volturi…hopefully the vote and Bella’s epiphany moment will be in there too…I could go on and on….
Thanks for posting this Kaleb!
I’m really excited for NM. It’s my favorite book out of the series.
The scenes i most want to see is the cliff diving scene (that one will be really cool and dramatic), I can’t wait to see the werewolves (i really hope that they make them look as close to a natural wolf as possible and i do want them to be as big as a horse), The Volturi (I can’t wait to see who gets cast. I wonder how old Jane and Alec will be? Pretty young i hope), and the Jacob and Bella relationship.
A scene that i’d add into the movie though is i really think that Bella and Jacob should kiss near the end in this movie. I think it would be highly confusing if there first kiss was portrayed when Edward is back. Well at least to the people who haven’t read the books.
that is completely awesome although rob wont be in much of it since edward leaves in new moon. i just saw the movie today with my friends and it was awesome although it wasnt like the book…. at… all. i still loved it but it wasnt my twilight. the scene i would like to see most in new moon is probably the cliff diving scene or the scene with the volturi, that would be cool cuz i am looking really forward 2 seeing the actors cast as the volturi and especially jane and heidi!
Ok, as soon as I post this comment I’m going to change my name and move to the other side of the world so all you people can’t hunt me down and kill me…haha…
I wasn’t a huge fan of the movie *gasp*. Actually, the movie exceeded my expectations, meaning it was sort of OK instead of pathetic.
However, I’m really excited for New Moon. It’s not only so much more emotionally intense than Twilight, but there will be more time with just Bella and Jacob, because while Rob was great in some scenes, a whole movie of him was rather dissatisfying.
I am so thrilled for New Moon, which I have grown to love exponentially more each time I’ve read it. The first movie was incredible and I know the ending definitely made me long for a second movie. Ah, I’m so excited!
I’m a huge Volturi fan, so I can’t wait to see the whole Volterra scene. I hope they cast some fierce guys for the Volturi.
Loved the movie!!!!! I have seen it three, yes THREE times, and that was all yesterday!!!! Midnight show, then two back-to-back last night. So excited for NEW MOON. I think it has the most emotional, well played ending of the books and look forward to the werewolves, cliff diving and the Volturi!!!
OK Summitt…we’ve done our part, time to pony up!! BIG freaking budget for Big Big effects!!!
Congrats to Rob and Kristin. And congrats to everyone that took our favorite book and made it real in a way we never expected.
Now, on to Italy!!!!!!!
OMEOMEOMEOEOE *hyperventilating*
SOOOOOOO excited I’m a die hard Jacob fan! hopefully this one wont be as cheeeeeeeeesy as twilight but who knows they better have awesome special effects for the whole wolf thing!!!
I LUV YOU JACOB!!!! I cant wait!!!! i hope they do eclipses too OR….. MAYBE they could put them together that would be totally awesome!! ^o^
i cant wait you better get a bigger budget summit i totally agree with wendy!!!!! I LUV TAYLOR!!!!
Alice! Alice! Alice! 😛
I want to see Edward leaving. I hope it puts me into sobbing tears, because if it does, that means the actors will have done a great job of portraying the emotions.
Also can’t wait to see the Volturi, ‘The Truth’ and the vote. *squeal*
OMG I’M SOOOO EXCITED FOR NEW MOON!! Twilight (the movie) was amazinggg!! haha, nothing like the book of course, but still very good =) I want to see the Volturi scene for sure. Plus the whole Italy thing with Bella, Alice, and Edward. Yay! I’m excited all over again, hope they do well! =)
This is such great news. I can’t wait to see this movie.
Charile and Edward.
The Bikes.
Cliff Diving.
Lets Not Forgot The Volturi.
I loved Twilight, it was sooo good. I really loved the fact that that truely brought the characters to life. I LOVED EMMETT.
