The Twilight Saga continues as the most anticipated film of the year, New Moon, hits screens this month on 21st, worldwide (not sure if this is applicable here since they are only planning to release Twilight in theatres on the 20th of this month...Crazy, huh?). Following the vastly-appreciated Twilight, this sequel from Summit Entertainment will tell the continuing tale between vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and mortal Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart).
When Edward leaves the town of Forks to keep Bella protected from danger and so that she can live a normal life, Bella’s spirit begins to wither away. However, she later finds a form of comfort in reckless living, as she also develops an even-closer friendship with Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner). There are a very interesting series of events and revelations that come out in New Moon and you will need to pay attention while watching the movie.
For the New Moon Soundtrack, there are a bunch of different people on the album like The Killers, Thom Yorke (Radiohead), Death Cab for Cutie (Meet me on the Equinox is a nice track), Band of Skulls, Anya Marina, Bon Iver & St.Vincent among others apart from Muse who had a track (Supermassive Black Hole) previously on the Twilight Album. Hopefully, the music by the album’s composers should make up for the notable absence of Paramore (Decode, I caught myself) on the New Moon soundtrack.
New Moon has been massively publicized everywhere from promotional events to Bella and Edward Barbie dolls to the recent extended trailer at the VMA’s and we’ll just have to see if the film lives up to the hype and the book by Stephenie Meyer. The fans who have read the Twilight Series wouldn’t want to be disappointed with poor adaptation of the book in the film or gaping holes cut off from the book like they do with other book-adaptations (read: Harry Potter).
What to watch out for:
Dakota Fanning as Jane, the waifish-pixie vampire with an air of menace, She's never looked this menacing or intense before.
And, Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black (His character gains more ground in this movie and how)! Plus, an added fact is his gloriously toned body. It's a shame that he's barely 17 years old! :(
Other new cast members include those who play Jacob’s best friends, Quil and Embry, and others who play the members of the Volturi (including Fanning). In this movie, the Cullens aren't around as much except for Alice Cullen (Ashley Greene) and Edward Cullen.

I can't wait to watch this on the Big Screen! I'm sure that you can't wait, too. Just hope it hits here soon enough (I hope my wish is not in vain. Sigh).
