The Normal Mormon Husbands are back. This time they have their own ideas on New Moon casting, or should we say recasting. They also have a quiz where you can voice your opinion on their recasting choices.
examiner.com The Examiner has a 4-part series/debate featuring book fans who did and didn’t like the Twilight movie.
Newsweek analyzes the latest trend in vampires.
MovieWeb has a post Twilight release interview with Peter Facinelli.
Box Office Prophets just doesn’t know what to make out of the Twilight selling pattern, because frankly it’s not following any pattern they are used to.
BOX OFFICE MOJO Now if you want the really interesting stats, you go to Box Office Mojo where you soon find out that:
- Twilight is the most successful vampire movie of all time
- Twilight(despite a week 2 fall off followed by a week 3 climb) is the number 16 (and still climbing most successful movie this year)
- Movies that opened on what is considered Holiday weekend it ranks 7
- Earnings as of December 7th estimated are
-
Domestic: $138,552,000 + Foreign: $21,325,749
= Worldwide: $159,877,749
Yay, Twilight dominates the Box Office! Well sorta…
Who’s going on the 12th? Twilight Moms are recommending seeing it on its “original” release date. We could get that $200 million yet!!!
I probably am going on the 12th, so I’ll be contributing.
I think we all need to try to see it again on the 12th. All the “naysayers” say Twilight is fading. We need to show a real bump in the numbers on the weekend of the 12th to shut them up! I am sooo sick of reading articles talking about Twilight numbers drop and fade even though the actual numbers prove otherwise. We need to really make it obvious for them!
I still havent seen it! So I am sure there are peeps just like me and we will keep it going. I am planning on next week seeing it with my sis!
sweet we’re doing amazing!! hopefully i get to go see the movie again friday =D
I say we do what the others have said. Lets all go out and try to see it on the 12th. Lets show everyone who is doubting Twilight and saying that its fading what we have to say!
recasting?? whats this about recasting???
Okay, it’s starting to bother me, so I have to tell you that it’s not “The Normal Mormon Husbands”. It’s just one guy who calls himself the Normal Mormon Husband–his blog is titled that because it is in theory supposed to be a gathering place for mormon husbands. Anyway, just thought I’d mention it for future reference. So if he does another Twilight related blog, it’s just one Normal Mormon Husband!
Thanks!
I thought that i was the only one who thought that jasper looked like edward scissorhands! thats amazing
but it scared me because i thought they actually were replacing people in the movie
so i was reading comments on the normal mormon husband site and i found out something shocking about kristen stewart(certain pics i won’t mention)… have i been living under a rock or did everyone else know about this?!?
*no one else know about this*
Catherine Hardwicke fired from Twilight?
http://www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com/hardwicke-fired-from-twilight-franchise/
**Or New Moon, even. xD
Yay!! definitely going on the 12th!!
I can’t believe she was actually fired. That is ridiculous. I know she said she was unsure about New Moon, but I didn’t think she was serious about it.
I love this line at the end of the Box Office Prophets article (about Twilight)… “and the birth of a what could be a very strong franchise.”
Well, DUH. It already is. Sillies.
I can’t believe they fired her. Who else will direct a movie like that without liking it. I bet they fired her cuz she was asking for more money to make New Moon but Summitt doesn’t want.
I really hate summitt now.
I just saw a very disturbing video of Robert Pattinson kissing another guy for the movie Little Ashes. I was crying, how could he do that kind of movie.
Mary Alice Cullen: Do what kind of movie? A movie where he happens to be kissing another guy? Why did that make you cry?
NO NO NO NO NO! they can’t fire catherine! i am going to be so freaking pissed if that’s true. i say if it is, we all write letters to summit asking them to change their minds.
cus i only see him as stright Edward and then i see that and that made me very sad.
But what ever its just a movie. i got over it my friend on the other hand is not handling it well.
I’m with Kismet i’m totally going to do that too.
Mary Alice Cullen, your logic is EXACTLY why it’s stupendous that Robert is taking on such a roll. You’re typecasting him, and that really sucks for an actor because once they’ve been generally typecast they only receive scripts for the same type of roll over and over and over again.
Okay use words i cant understand please what is stupendous and typecast.
sorry i’m never a very good dictionary.
stupendous means very, very good.
typecasting is where people, both the general public and casting directors, see an actor in one role and then can only visualize that actor as that type of character, so then the actor ends up getting offers to play the same type of character over and over again and no different characters. it really sucks for the actor because they don’t get a chance to show their skill in acting and play different parts.
Oh well good for him, but because I’m Jewish and I really don’t like to see the guy i have a poster of in my room doing that kind thing, i’m just really glad he really isn’t like that.
It’s just a movie. and i understand thats good for an actor but thats just my opinion.
and no body is going to change it.
sorry.
“Oh well good for him, but because I’m Jewish and I really don’t like to see the guy i have a poster of in my room doing that kind thing, i’m just really glad he really isn’t like that”
are you implying that there’s something wrong with gay people?
This is completely unrelated to these articles (which rock, btw) but have you guys heard about the rumor concerning Catherine Hardwicke being fired from directing New Moon? I’m totally freaking out!!

i just saw this im not sure if its true or not.
apperently catherine hardwicke isnt doing new moon!
Thank you so much for leading to that NMH website.. Hilarious.! Made me laugh so hard.! Just when i needed it
It is true! Catherine was fired! I dint know about you but I am happy about this bit of news. I left about a 2 paragraph long commet saying as much.=]
Well, Robert is portraying the artist Salvador Dali, who was gay–so that’s what the story includes. That doesn’t mean that Robert is gay but that he’s stretching his acting ability by portraying all kinds of characters. That’s what actors do: act like the people that the story is about.
I love how Robert completely ‘became’ Edward for the Twilight movie–I can hardly even see the Robert that we see in the media and in interviews, since he’s so immersed in the character!
I have seen the movie 5 times and I don’t mind watching one more time on the 12th.
i think robert is will be a much better dali than edward(even though i like him as edward)
I fell in love with the Twilight Saga. I went to see the movie and it was “good”. It didn’t portray the love between Edward and Bella like the book. They acted so nervous the entire time. He never said how much he loved her. I think more money was spent filming climbing trees than showing the love they were supposed to feel. Too much of the book was changed.
I agree with you Mandy and I’m afraid the next one is going to be even worse. The love between Edward and Bella is central to the series and they didn’t establish that in Twilight so they will have to make up for that in New Moon. Or, the movie will just make no sense at all.
