20 Good Differences Between New Moon Movie and the Book
Jen Yamato, from FearNet, has a comparison of New Moon the movie vs. the book and how the differences are good in her opinion. Check it out!
If you’re a diehard Twilighter, you might wonder just how different New Moon the film is from the book. Below, we name 20 ways the movie deviates from Meyer’s tome – and works all the better for it.
Twilight scribe Melissa Rosenberg faced an enormous challenge adapting Stephenie Meyer’s 500+ page novel for the screen, but it’s clear that the filmmakers chose to remain steadfastly faithful to Meyer’s book. (Perhaps to a fault, considering the reviews.) Still, for fans, New Moon should feel just authentic enough to drive it toward an enormous opening weekend. So how do Rosenberg’s additions, changes, and omissions from the text affect New Moon on film, and which ones work the best?

Way more shirtless boys!
We all hoped to get a glimpse of Edward’s alabaster chest in Volterra, but who knew we’d get to see so much hot werewolf skin? Thankfully, the Wolf Pack run such high temperatures and explode away their clothes so frequently that cut-off jeans and no shirt are their shared ensemble of choice.
We get more fights, including an awesome Volturi throw down.
New Moon the book is infamous for its slow pacing, thanks to Bella’s crippling depression (see below). So it’s a good thing that the film throws in fistfights, wolf skirmishes, and chase scenes to liven things up a bit more. Our favorite: watching Volturi guard Felix put the smack down on our precious Edward, a scene crafted for the film.
Instead of talking to herself, Bella sends emails to Alice.
New Moon, like all of the Twilight books, makes frequent use of Bella’s internal voice-overs to tell us what’s going on in that angsty head of hers. In New Moon, Bella writes emails to her lost BFF, Alice, to work through her issues. We still get the voice-overs, but they’re cleverly disguised as Bella’s messages to Alice, and therefore much less “Vampire Diaries.” (Also, creating a movie email address for Alice was a clever way to sneak in product placement for Apple’s MobileMe email application.)

The Sunday Paper Interview With Peter Facinelli

The Sunday Paper interviewed Peter Facinelli, who along with: Billy Burke, Catherine Hardwicke, Kellan Lutz, and Ashley Greene are going to be at the Buckhead Westin in Atlanta for Creation Entertainment’s Twilight Tour.
“Are there any scenes from the books that you hope make it into the films?
For “New Moon,” there’s a scene with Bella (Kristin Stewart) where I stitch her up. I was excited to shoot that scene because it was a pivotal scene. It kind of sets up the whole reason why Rob’s character doesn’t want to change her into a vampire. I hope it stays in the movie because I feel like it’s essential and it’s a really nice scene for Carlisle and Bella; it’s an intimate thing. It’s a scene where a lot of information is being given and it shows another side of Carlisle, a soft side of him that I like. I’d be bummed if that was out. “
