The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Movie Companion

review 1: A MUST-HAVE FOR TWILIGHT FANSThe New Moon illustrated movie Companion gives us an intimate look at the creation of the film. Written again by Mark Cotta Vaz who gave us the original Twilight companion, this one in my opinion is even better. Crammed full of lavish, full color and never before seen photographs (okay, yes most are available on different fan sites but isn't it nice to have them all together here?) Inside we get; exclusive cast and crew interviews, personal quotes, behind the scenes information and a tour of the film sets. Interviews with the actors and director Chris Weitz, wardrobe, hair and make-up secrets, a technical movie making section (revealing location and color change information as well as editing, special effects etc) We then get answers to questio... morens about costume and set design and learn the secrets to the stunts and how a person can become a werewolf. At 141 pages this book is a must-have for any fan and once you've looked at the pictures a couple hundred times and stopped drooling at Edwards Italian reveal and all the shirtless, buff werewolves there's actually tons here to read and discover. For example did you know Edward and Bella were plagued by mosquitoes during the break-up scene? and that Edward wears the same suit throughout the movie because he's seen only through Bella's visions and that was the last thing she saw him wearing? (it gets progressively more tattered as the movie progresses) In a really interesting chapter we get to know the history of the Volturi and see some really cool period costumes (hello Carlisle) as well as details of Edward getting beat up by Felix. We hear more about Taylor's fight for the role of Jacob and explore the world of the Quileute which has been totally integrated with the forest except for the scenes within Emily's house. And with my eternal gratitude we learn that there will be "a fresh interpretation" for Edwards sparkle effect. After devouring this book I now can't decide if it's made the wait until November easier or harder? On one hand it's easier because I have all these gorgeous photos and information to tide me over but on the other its now harder because I'm even more excited to see
review 2: I know- I have some kind of Twilight sickness. This movie was so much better than the mangled version of Twilight they made last year.It was interesting to read how they adapted new sets and locations, since they filmed "Forks" in Canada instead of the US. I'm glad they fixed the clown-like make-up from the first movie. I thought they might explain why Edward's hair looks shorter in New Moon (and why Jasper's bad wig made him look like Beethoven), but not much is mentioned. Lots of references to changing the lighting and mood to create a new look for the second installation of the series.Though the technical CG details of the book did not interest me, the special effects in this second film looked much more sophisticated. Techie folks will love the detail about creating realistic wolves. Let's hope they don't bring back the awful and cheesy-looking "running" that Edward did in Twilight. less
