...news for all those screaming, stalking, fainting, fervent fans of Twilight star Robert Pattinson is that he is largely absent from most of the sequel, The Twilight Saga: New Moon. But that's the good news for everyone else...
...pressed to name the weakest link in Stephenie Meyer's four-book series, fans will usually point to New Moon, for the simple reason that the hero - hot, brooding vampire Edward Cullen - decides to leave his mortal soul mate Bella in order to protect her from himself and his kind. He disappears on page 73 and does not return to full-time smoldering duty until page 451. The heart of the story is about how much Bella misses him - as does the reader. When the first copies of the book appeared, Meyer had to urge some fans to read...
...screen, it's a different story. The worst thing about New Moon the book is the best thing about New Moon the movie. As Edward, Pattinson is all pale passion and tortured restraint; his eyebrows, like muskrats determined to mate, hunch together in the middle of his sunken face; the few times he smiles, it looks as if it hurts, and he still seems reluctant to move his mouth when he talks. If you had not read the series, in which Edward is infinitely more appealing and dimensional, you'd wonder what Bella was doing staring off into space...
...Twilight life like living in a bubble? And if so, tell us about your bubble. I wouldn't call them concessions, but there are alterations - and only fleeting alterations - that you need to make. Right now New Moon is coming out, and it's a big deal. I'm in Los Angeles promoting it, and everybody knows where I'm going to be. So right now it's the most intense time. But it already feels like it's going away almost as I speak. What's my life like? I'm sort of a homebody anyway...
...does Twilight continue to grow? How do you maintain the enthusiasm with the fans? The movies really stand alone. In Eclipse, we take the love triangle that is only vaguely introduced in New Moon and really explore it - all between two mortal enemies. Then they get on the same team and fight the baddies. It's all pretty exciting stuff...
