The Twilight Saga: New Moon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Twilight Saga: New Moon is a 2009 American romantic fantasy-vampire film based on Stephenie Meyer's 2006 novel New Moon. It is the second film in The Twilight Saga film series and is the sequel to 2008's Twilight, which is also based on Meyer's previous novel. Summit Entertainment greenlit the sequel in late November 2008, following the early success of Twilight.[3] Directed by Chris Weitz, the film stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner,[4] reprising their roles as Bella Swan, Edward Cullen, and Jacob Black, respectively. Melissa Rosenberg, who handed in a draft of the film script during the opening weekend of Twilight, returned as screenwriter for The Twilight Saga: New Moon.[5] Filming began in Vancouver in late March 2009,[6][7][8] and in Montepulciano, Italy, in late May 2009.[9][10]
The Twilight Saga: New Moon was released on November 20, 2009, in most countries, and set domestic box office records as the biggest midnight screening with $26.3 million, which was superseded by its sequel, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. This led to the biggest single day domestic gross with $72.7 million.[11] The film also opened with the third biggest domestic opening weekend ($142,839,137).[11] The film was well received by fans,[12] but critical reception was less favorable.[13][14]
The Twilight Saga: New Moon has become the highest grossing film released by Summit Entertainment, and was also the film with the widest independent release, playing in over 4,124 theaters in its theatrical run, until it was surpassed by its sequel, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.[15] The Twilight Saga: New Moon was released on DVD and Blu-ray on March 20, 2010 through midnight release parties.[16] The film has grossed, as of April 2010, $144,808,588 in North American DVD sales, selling more than 6,367,352 units,[17] 4 million of which were sold within its first weekend, beating Twilight's 3.8 million units sold in its first two days.[18]
Plot
On her 18th birthday, Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) wakes up from a dream in which she sees herself as an old woman. She expresses her distaste with growing older than her boyfriend Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a vampire who stopped aging physically at 17. Despite her lack of enthusiasm, Edward's adoptive family throws Bella a birthday party. While unwrapping a gift, Bella gets a paper cut, causing Edward's brother, Jasper (Jackson Rathbone), to become overwhelmed by her blood's scent and attempt to kill her. Realizing the danger that he and his family pose to Bella, Edward ends their relationship, and the Cullens leave Forks, Washington.
Edward's departure leaves Bella heartbroken and depressed for months. However, when her father, Charlie (Billy Burke), decides to send her to live with her mother in Florida, Bella agrees to spend time with her friends. After seeing a movie with Jessica (Anna Kendrick), Bella sees a group of men on motorcycles. This reminds her of when Edward previously rescued her from an assault, and she sees his image warning her to stay away. Bella discovers that thrill-seeking activities evoke Edward's preserved image. She is also comforted by her deepening friendship with Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) , a cheerful companion who eases her pain over losing Edward. When Jacob suddenly begins avoiding her, Bella discovers he has become a werewolf, an age-old enemy of vampires. Jacob's pack members are on constant patrol for Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre), a vampire searching to kill Bella due to the death of her mate, leaving Jacob little time to spend with her. Alone again, Bella returns to seeking thrill-inducing activities.
Through a series of miscommunications, Edward believes Bella has killed herself after she jumped off a cliff into the ocean. Distraught over her supposed suicide, Edward travels to Italy to provoke the Volturi, a powerful vampire coven capable of killing him, by exposing himself in the sunlight. Alice (Ashley Greene), Edward's sister, and Bella rush to Italy to save Edward, and arrive just in time to stop him. It is then that Edward tells Bella that he always loved her and only left to protect her. However, the Volturi determine that Bella, a human who knows that vampires exist, must either be killed or transformed into a vampire herself. Alice stops them from killing her by sharing her premonition with Aro, a Volturi elder who is able to read thoughts, in which Bella has been transformed. Soon after, they return to Forks and Bella forgives Edward for leaving her. The Cullens vote in favor of Bella being transformed into a vampire, to Edward's dismay. However, Jacob reminds Edward of the treaty the Cullens made with the Quileute tribe: they will not attack each other, as long as the Cullens do not bite any humans. The movie concludes with Edward telling Bella that he will change her into a vampire if she marries him first.
