I’m a 63 year old grandmother, so suffice it to say I’ve read many books and seen many movies in my lifetime. The “Twilight Series” is the first fiction that I have read in 10 years. Like everyone else, once I read the first page I couldn’t put it down. I read the 1st, 2nd, 3rd,and 4th books back to back in two weeks. Now, I have finally seen the 2nd movie “New Moon”. I tried to find a website for the producers that would let me write a comment to them, but didn’t have much success. Finally I stumbled across this web. Hopefully, someone who has a say as to how the movies are put together will read this. I enjoyed “New Moon” but it was too abbreviated. If I had not read the book, I would have been lost as to the story line. Way too much substance was left out. I’m sorry but I don’t understand Hollywood’s idea on this. What is to point of dictating that a movie can be no longer than 1.5 to 2 hours long if the end result is a disappointment? I’m sure the “Twilight” fans would be more than happy to watch a 4 hour movie with an intermission and I’m also sure the movie would make even more money. The “Twilight” fans WANT to see their beloved stories in their entirety. They don’t want to watch a movie that is nothing more than a shell! After seeing how much was left out on “New Moon”, I can’t imagine what butchery will be applied to “Breaking Dawn”. SO MUCH happens in “Breaking Dawn” – how is Hollywood going to pare that down to even a 2 hour movie????!!!!!
As I said in the beginning of my email, I hope this makes it to the producers, to Stephanie Meyer, to anyone that has any influence over the movies. . .maybe Hollywood missed the mark when they didn’t make these books into a miniseries.

I am so with you, Aiya. Breaking Dawn would be incomplete without Jacob’s book. And I also agree with Breaking Dawn being split into two.

It sounds good to me! I think it sould be one movie. In Eclipse Bella chose Edward and we should let Jacob fade from the threesome in the movie. As a fan, we know about his feelings for Bella but Twilight is about Bella and Edward, their love story and we should stick to that point of view. I also believe that they can find a small person (about 10 years old) who has the average body of a taller person to play Renesseme. This way there wouldn’t be so much CGI involved and she can read and act the part too.

I jumped from this article to the “Hero Complex” piece on Taylor Lautner (linked at the bottom of the BD article) – THAT’S a great interview. If you haven’t read it, you should.

Call me crazy, but I think they should make BD into two movies and the first installment should end exactly where Jacob’s book ends! It would be really cool cause the folks who have never read the books will get a huge cliffhanger (and maybe go out and buy BD because they can’t just not know) and those of use dedicated Twis will know exactly what’s to come.

Oh and up at the top of the comments someone suggested they just cut out Jake’s entire book…?? I will say I’m an incredibly biased Team Jacober, but come on? That is the worst idea I’ve heard so far. It would be a complete injustice to just “cut out” any part…especially Jacob’s. His love for Bella and his pack and his suffering are such a huge part of the book. Why anyone would even suggest that is beyond me.

I believe that if to much is taken out then we may as well re-name the whole saga the Bella and Edward story. It is a saga and there are many interesting characters. As little as possible should be taken out and if it takes 2 movies to produce a piece of work then thats what it should be. I am affraid the Harry Potter movies, so far, have put the twilight saga to shame and I’m not even a fan of HP.

It’s luck then you’re not directing this movie then. Steph Myere wrote a great story including many characters. to leave the wolf pack out and the Jacob story would miss so much of the essence. To be honest the whole thing has beme more about Rob and Kristen. I know they are really popular but really guys lets get back to the story. I hope they will produce a well rounded movie that depicts what Steph M wrote and please all of the fans.
