Though I will say this. While I want the storyline from the books to come through on screen, I am also looking for other elements as well. Elements that make it a good movie and great experience overall, not simply a rehashing of the books. I don’t necessarily need page by page coverage of the story. Many people griped about the fight scenes in New Moon, dialogue, etc, but I thought a lot of it only served to enhanced the scenes. The essentials are fine with me if transferred to the screen in a stylish and classy way that maintains the essence and integrity of the books. I loved Weitz’s vision, but I also liked Hardwicke’s as well. I can’t wait to see what Slade brings to the table. While I know some are a little bit anxious because they feel he might focus more on the “war” than the love story, let’s just reserve judgment until we’ve actually seen Eclipse. I’m open, but that’s just me. I want a great movie that draws me in. I’m not looking for actors to just stand there and read from Meyer’s book. I can read it myself. But hey, that’s just my opinion.

“The fans just want us to take what’s on the pages and bring it up onto the screen. That’s it.”

So true.
