Just like all the other Twilight fans I know, I was excited when I heard that Summit would go ahead with the making of the next book in the series New Moon into a movie. I was anxious to hear if they would be replacing director Catherine Hardwicke and the writer Melissa Rosenberg. After having seen Twilight I felt that they needed different people in the production of New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn. I am a movie person. I love watching movies and re-watching movies. I didn't think Twilight had lived up to it's potential. I felt it could have been so much better. I've read all the articles about low budget. There have been other low budget films that I feel made better use of what they had. The fact is that the next movie needs to be better. Not only are there young girls who went to see this movie several times it was also their mothers and older sisters. I've read several places where surveys were done and most of the women who said they would see it more than once were over 25. Summit has to realize that if these films don't continue to get better they will lose a lot of the fan base. Let us compare to Harry Potter, the first film was good, but once it was successful they spent more and more on the sequels. Each film got a little better until it reached a plateau of great special effects. I hope Summit, Melissa Rosenburg and Chris Weitz will stick more to the book and have some good special effects . I would personally like to see Edward Cullen sparkle instead of just sweat. I am also anxious to see Jacob Black shift into a wolf. Good Luck to all of you and here is hoping for a brilliant production of New Moon the second book in the series that we love.
