"Twilight" movie fans are anxiously awaiting the second installment in the series, "New Moon," which will be released in theaters this month. If you haven't read the "Twilight" book series by Stephenie Meyer, you might not know what exactly to expect from the second movie. Here's a sneak peak at what the movie has in store for you.
"The Twilight Saga: New Moon" begins with Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) celebrating her birthday with her boyfriend, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and his family. On this night, Bella experiences an accident, which results in blood, and causes vampire Jasper Cullen to want to attack her. Jasper is the newest addition to the Cullen family, and he has the hardest time not being tempted by humans.
In order to prevent anything bad from happening to Bella, the Cullen family leaves town. The loss of Edward leaves Bella feeling brokenhearted and depressed. During his absence, she becomes closer friends with Jacob Black, who she spends a lot of time with. Bella begins a new, spontaneous and somewhat dangerous lifestyle. To find out what else happens, you'll have to see the movie.
Let's tackle "New Moon" myth factors. Has Taylor Lautner been replaced? Myth. Initially, there were talks about replacing Lautner, who plays Jacob Black. The reason was because in the book "New Moon," Jacob Black's character is much more muscular than he was in "Twilight." Due to his large fan base, it was decided that Lautner would continue his role. Based on the trailer, it is easy to see that Lautner is not only more buff, but he has a very attractive new hairstyle as well.
Will Dakota Fanning be joining the "New Moon" movie cast? Fact. Fanning was asked to play a vampire named Jane. She is part of the Volturi, which is a clan of "dark" vampires. Fanning's role is fairly small in comparison to many of the other characters.
Did the director, Chris Weitz, also direct "The Vampire's Assistant?" Myth. "The Vampire's Assistant" was directed by Weitz, but it was not the same Weitz that is directing "New Moon." It was directed by his brother, Paul Weitz.
Is it true that I have to pre-order movie tickets? Fact. Unfortunately, many movie theaters sold out for "New Moon" back in September. Your chances of getting a ticket for the movie at a local theater for opening night are very slim.
Does the "Twilight" movie series end with "New Moon?" Myth. "New Moon" will be the second of four movies in "The Twilight Saga." The next movie in the series will be called "Eclipse." Although it has not been confirmed, Drew Barrymore is rumored to be directing the third installment. The fourth edition to the "Twilight" movie series is "Breaking Dawn."
Does the romance between Bella and Edward end for good? Watch the movie to find out. "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" will be released in theaters on Nov. 20, 2009.
