Pure Imagination

I just thought I would catch you up on some of the New Moon news out there….you know in case you haven’t had a break from drooling over Jacob yet.

Summit Entertainment now estimates that The Twilight Saga: New Moon took in $140.7M from 4024 theaters this weekend. 
This puts the film in third place for all-time opening weekends, behind The Dark Knight ($158.4M) and Spider-Man 3 ($151.1M).
Go Twi-Hards!!!

Chris Weitz gives us some hints about the New Moon DVD:

“There will be a commentary track,” Weitz revealed, saying that he’ll soon head into the recording booth with his three big stars, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner. “It’ll just be us riffing off each other in our intimate way,” he grinned. “We kind of like each other, so that should be fun.”

You can read the whole article here.

MTV also has a great article on why they made some of the changes they made from book to film:

Edward’s Chameleon-Esque Car
If his lousy parking job distracted you, perhaps you didn’t notice that when Edward pulled into Forks High, his famed Volvo was no longer gray, as it was in the novels and the first movie. Hey, Chris Weitz, what gives? “I’ve taken a real spanking for this, a lot of heat,” the director explained. “I’ll tell you exactly why: Volvo wanted to give us a new, different car so I didn’t want to paint it exactly the same silver color, because then [Twilighters] would be saying, ‘Why are they trying to say that it’s the same car; it’s obviously not.’ So, I thought, ‘Well, I’ll choose a new color!’ And I thought I would choose slate black, not a reflective black, because it actually absorbs light and it would reflect the mood and melancholy and depression [of his character]. I know I got it wrong, I apologize for that. But that is my reasoning.”

And…Taylor Launter is going to be on the cover of Rolling Stone. I’ll go ahead and say your welcome before you see the picture…
