[Daydreamer]

Direi che è assolutamente ora di lanciare il topic su New Moon, visto che ora è confermato che le riprese del seguito di Twilight incominceranno a Marzo e buona parte si terranno nientepopodimeno che in Italia!!
I fan sapranno che il film introdurrà anche il mondo dei Licantropi e le vicende aquisteranno tutto un altro spessore...Non c'è tempo da perdere, gli attori rischierebbero di invecchiare troppo! Così dice la regista riconfermata Catherine Hardwicke in questa
prima intervista su New Moon! Enjoy!

Catherine Hardwicke: After Twilight

December 5, 2008


Although Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke always comes off as utterly laid-back and Zen-like in person, her familiar smile seemed to show just a little more teeth (but no fangs!) in the wake of the film's remarkable run at the box office. She gave ShockTillYouDrop.com the down-low on if, when and how she plans to sink her teeth in the next installment of Bella and Edward's epic romance.

ShockTillYouDrop.com: We talked before opening weekend and you were playing pretty cool as far as box office predictions. Did that opening weekend response exceed your wildest expectations?

Catherine Hardwicke: It was a pretty rocking weekend! Everyone is pretty shocked, I think. I mean, like the week before it was like "Hey, if we make in the $30 million [range] it's going to be cool." And then we'd already made $74 million.

Shock: Which kinda makes you a lock to get the job on the next one. Has that been formalized yet?

Hardwicke: No, but we're working that all out, which is awesome. Summit [Entertainment] is doing it and we're trying to figure it all out, if it'll work out for me or whatever. So it's cool. It's all exciting.

Shock: Is there anything you'd want to do differently in the Twilight sequels? Somewhere that you didn't go in the first one?

Hardwicke: In the other books, Stephenie [Meyer], like she went in completely different directions too. She created whole new back stories with the werewolves and everything. So in a way they're just automatically different, each book. She took it to a new place. She didn't rest on what was successful in the first book. So that's what I think the film would have to do, just take you on that journey.

Shock: Is there an element of the second book you're especially intrigued or excited by, as far as bringing it to life on screen?

Hardwicke: New Moon's really taking a whole other leap with this new story and there's really a lot of new characters in it. There's the werewolves which is pretty crazy. All the wolves. Then there's also going to Italy in the second book and there's motorcycle riding and cliff-jumping and diving. I love jumping off of cliffs. So it's kind of up my alley – into water, yeah.

Shock: Do you think that you'll do a separate film in between, something away from Twilight?

Hardwicke: I think that what Summit wants to do is make the next one right away so I don't think there's really an in between because we don't want the kids to get any older because they're not supposed to age. They're vampires, man, they've got to stay young!

Shock: You have two newly christened superstars in Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson. What do you see in the future for Kristen? It seems like there might not be anything she can't tackle as she gets older.

Hardwicke: I can agree with that, because she has this incredible depth. She's so soulful and so solid. Our movie is kind of a fantasy, but you believe her. She keeps it grounded and she just puts her heart into it. She's incredible. The camera loves her, that skin that just glows. She can do any stunt. She can kind of do anything.

Shock: And we're hearing Rob might be into playing a superhero, like Gambit or one of the other X-Men?

Hardwicke: That would be so cool. To me Rob is really like an otherworldly creature. I think it'd be awesome if he created a whole strange and interesting character, like a Johnny Depp with weird Tim Burton characters. He's also a beautiful musician. He's a writer, pianist, guitarist. I think he's kind of great. I've been amazed when I've been in the studio and watched him sing and create music.

Shock: Has the sound of teenage girls screaming finally stopped ringing in your ears?

Hardwicke: I like it, man! I think it's awesome. Most of the time in our lives we're supposed to behave properly, fit in a box and do what everyone tells us to do and you go to a premiere or a football game you get to scream. You get to have fun. That's so cool!

che bello non vedo l'ora!!!!!!

[BennuzzO]

Can't wait!

[Prince Philip]

Can't wait!

Me too... spero però sia più articolato del primo e soprattutto doppiato meglio

[Daydreamer]

Notiziona!!! Catherine Hardwicke non sarà più la regista di New Moon!!
I produttori mirano a far uscire il film già per fine 2009 / primissimi giorni del 2010 e a causa di tempi stretti e impegni, la regista è costretta a lasciare spazio ad altri...Chi sarà mai al timone del sequel??? I produttori ad ogni modo sono molto fiduciosi, perchè si tratta semplicemente di adattare romanzi già scritti e non creare una saga ex novo...Han ragione, gli attori rischiano di invecchiare!!! Io girerei i due seguiti tutti assieme (1-fusion di New Moon+ Eclipse e 2-Breaking Dawn), stile "Signore degli Anelli" e quindi li farei uscire a tempi separati...

Summit Begins Search for New Moon Director
Source: Summit Entertainment
December 7, 2008


Summit Entertainment and director Catherine Hardwicke jointly announced today that the filmmaker will not be directing the next installment in the newly minted "Twilight" film franchise. Summit's targeted end of 2009 or early 2010 release of the film, New Moon, does not work with Ms. Hardwicke's required prep time to bring her vision of the film to the big screen. Thus as has been done before with many successful film franchises, the studio will employ a new director for New Moon.

"I am sorry that due to timing I will not have the opportunity to direct 'New Moon,'" said Hardwicke. "Directing 'Twilight' has been one of the great experiences of my life, and I am grateful to the fans for their passionate support of the film. I wish everyone at Summit the best with the sequel-- it is a great story."

"Catherine did an incredible job in helping us to launch the 'Twilight' franchise and we thank her for all of her efforts and we very much hope to work with her on future Summit projects," said Erik Feig, Summit's President of Production. "We as a studio have a mandate to bring the next installment in the franchise to the big screen in a timely fashion so that fans can get more of Edward, Bella and all of the characters that Stephenie Meyer has created. We are able to pursue an aggressive time frame as we have the luxury of only adapting the novels into screenplays as opposed to having to create a storyline from scratch."

Me lo immaginavo che avrebbero iniziato molto presto a girare anche New Moon
Speriamo bene!!!!

[trilly the fairy]

cavoli mi dispiace molto che non ci sia più la Hardwicke...ora se scelgono male il regista nuovo che succede??

[Daydreamer]

E' quasi ufficiale, voci sempre più insistenti dicono che Chris Weitz, regista di "La Bussola d'Oro" e "About a Boy" sarà il regista di New Moon!!

La bussola è un film che a me personalmente è piaciuto, mi dispiace che sia stato un tonfo al botteghino, il regista ha il merito di avere costruito belle battaglie e sicuramente ci sa fare con creature magiche ferigne, vedasi lo scontro tra Orsi Polari...Questo lascia ben sperare per Jacob & Compagni...

[Daydreamer]

Ecco la conferma del regista, pare inoltre che New Moon sia esclusivamente basato sul secondo romanzo e non una fusione con Eclipse!

Chris Weitz to Direct New Moon
Source: Summit Entertainment
December 13, 2008


Summit Entertainment announced today that filmmaker Chris Weitz has been hired to direct the second film in the studio's "Twilight" film franchise. The film, New Moon, is based on the second book in author Stephenie Meyer's blockbuster book series. The announcement was made by Erik Feig, Summit's President of Production.

Weitz, an Academy Award®-nominated writer, director and producer, has a proven track record working with a broad range of material dealing with youth-oriented characters, fantasy and action. As such, he has the potential to bring alive in New Moon the dimensions and depth that fans will demand in the next installment.

Feig stated, "We love Stephenie Meyer's fantastic 'Twilight' series. Thinking long and hard about how to turn 'New Moon' into the amazing movie we know it will be, and working with Stephenie Meyer to find the right candidate, we are thrilled to announce Chris Weitz as director of the film. Chris very much understands the world of 'New Moon' and has the skill set required to bring the book to glorious life as a movie. We think he will be an excellent steward of Stephenie Meyer's vision."

"I am honored to have been entrusted with shepherding 'New Moon' from the page to the screen," said Weitz. "The extraordinary world that Stephenie has created has millions of fans, and it will be my duty to protect on their behalf the characters, themes and story they love. This is not a task to be taken lightly, and I will put every effort into realizing a beautiful film to stand alongside a beautiful book."

Weitz previously penned About a Boy, which led to an Academy Award Nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay in 2002, and adapted and directed The Golden Compass (2007), which was nominated for two Academy Awards and won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. Additionally, Weitz co-wrote the 1998 animated film Antz and went on to produce the major box office success American Pie and executive produced the film's two theatrical sequels. Weitz also produced In Good Company starring Dennis Quaid and Topher Grace and executive produced American Dreamz starring Hugh Grant, Dennis Quaid and Mandy Moore.

In New Moon, Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) is devastated by the abrupt departure of her vampire love, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) but her spirit is rekindled by her growing friendship with the irresistible Jacob Black. Suddenly she finds herself drawn into the world of the werewolves, ancestral enemies of the vampires, and finds her loyalties tested. Production on New Moon is scheduled to begin in the coming months and the studio is planning to release the film towards the end of 2009 or early 2010.

Feig will oversee New Moon for the studio along with Summit Entertainment's Director of Production Gillian Bohrer.

[trilly the fairy]

Beh...speriamo che Chris Weitz non ci deluda!

Sul nuovo numero di Tv Sorrisi e Canzoni si dice che in New Moon si cercherà un attore nuovo e più prestante per ricoprire il ruolo di Jacob!!!
Inoltre pare che Ben Barnes (interpretò il Principe Caspian) sarà Aro, uno dei vampiri Volturi.

[Prince Philip]

Be, meno male ... l'attore non mi era piaciuto molto: sembrava una ragazza

[BennuzzO]

A quanto pare il nuovo Jacob dovrebbe essere Michael Copon.

Aspetto di vederlo con i capelli lunghi

[Daydreamer]

Madonna che tocco!!!!
Ed assomiglia pure al Jacob precedente... Bene, almeno ci sarà una certa "prosecuzione visiva"...
Bennuzzo scusa, è definitivo o ancora un rumor??
Ad ogni modo corro a noleggiarmi "Il Re Scorpione 2" dove è protagonista, così lo conosco un poco...

[Elisetta88]

bè il nuovo jacob è decisamente migliore!

[Daydreamer]

...E infatti l'ho visto ieri in azione in "The Scorpion King 2" (lasciamo perdere il film, godibile per carità...Ma il trionfo del trash più sublime: sembra un mix di Gli Argonauti, l'Hercules televisivo e addiruttura il cartone Pollon!!!...)

Lui però è spettacolare, ha una presenza scenica perfetta, inoltre la grinta e il fisico gridano Jacob Black!! Sì sì la mia scelta è per lui...

[Daydreamer]

Il bel Erik Fellows è indicato come probabile candidato al ruolo di Sam Uli, il capo del clan dei Licantropi, nonchè cugino di Jacob Black e suo mentore...Accidenti, questo film manderà in delirio le sale intere, come se Edward non fosse già abbastanza...
