These days, everything is about “Twilight” and the movie that will hopefully write the book on vampire teen flicks once it’s out in November, “New Moon.” Consequently, with the
first footage from the film expected to air at the end of next week, and the
first official poster already out, it’s no wonder
Us Weekly has gone to such lengths to bring fans more inside details on the plot.
One such spoiler would be that, no matter how much Pattinson insisted in the past, the “New Moon” film will be different from the book, because Summit Entertainment needed to keep fans interested in the franchise. For some reason or another, that seemed to be impossible to accomplish if the film stuck with the structure imposed by the novel. In fact, the movie is said to move so farther away from the book that even the ending has been altered, the magazine says.
Another thing that the film will change will be Bella’s way of “summoning” Edward, in that she will take a more “daredevil” approach just to get her loved one’s attention. There is also the question of turning her into a vampire at the end (in the book, Edward promises her he would if she married him), which has been subject to change in the film – but no one seems to know exactly how this scene has been altered.
As Pattinson himself was saying a while back, the producers tried to keep the story as faithful as possible to the one in the book but, understandably, some changes were in order. For instance, the British actor revealed, they had changed Edward’s “voiceover” in the book with appearances of him as an illusion, which means that fans will get to see plenty of Pattinson when the film drops in theaters. This was, as many of you may remember, one of the fans’ main concerns, namely, that they wouldn’t get to see enough of Robert.
“It’s as close as possible to the book. [In the film] it’s an illusion when he appears. I think if you do it with voiceover as they do in the book, it would end up being quite cheesy. But it’s very subtle, my presence. It’s actually quite scary because Bella is kind of going a little bit nuts. I was worried about having too much presence because you really need that relationship with Jacob to drive to the third and fourth books. You really need that triangle.” Pattinson was telling the media
a while back.
Until something more palpable on “New Moon” is out, fans need to know a one-minute long clip should be aired at the MTV Movie Awards, like
we also reported.
