New Moon movie, Kristen Stewart vamp attacks, hallucinations, cliff diving and more, part 1
Kristen Stewart will be subjected to many a plight in this year's New Moon, indeed. Last week, we asked the fans what they absolutely could not live without in the upcoming film, and the response was overwhelming (to add your input, visit the post here).
It seems that there are many portions of Stephenie Meyer's acclaimed book that we Twilight fans can simply not stand to live without seeing portrayed on the big screen in its film adaptation.
Here are the most heavily anticipated sequences from the book (according to you all) we expect to see New Moon, or as the film producers are calling it now "The Twilight Saga: New Moon." (Warning: if you haven't read the book, the following may spoil the storyline for you.)
- Bella's "Gram" dream - In the wonderful first chapter of New Moon we saw a great sequence between Bella and Edward. Only, it was a dream. Bella was aging so fast that she was looking into a mirror and believed that she was looking at her Gram. Meanwhile, Edward Cullen remained the same. This was a scene that is crucial to the storyline, you say (and I concur) because it solidifies Bella's desire to become a Cullen.
- Bella's birthday - Ah, yes. A personal favorite of mine, and also a part of chapter one in Meyer's New Moon, the birthday scene is one for the books. It involves Bella unwillingly attending her own birthday party (a product of Alice Cullen's incessant, but lovable, party-planning-persona), getting a paper-cut and nearly being mauled by Jasper.
- Break-up - After Jasper's near attack, Edward becomes estranged from Bella, and it is heart-breaking to her even then. I dare not describe here what the scene entails for fear of sullying it with my own unworthy descriptions. Let's just say that the conversation between Bella and Edward which leads him to depart, to the fans, needs to be spot on. Gut-wrenching as it was in the book, you say, so it must be in the movie. You also want to see the disappearance of all things Edward, as promised, from Bella's possession (another factor which rips Bella Swan apart in the story).
- Catatonic - When Edward leaves, Bella is found speechless, motionless, covered in forestry goop (from chasing after Edward of course), and she remains in a cyclical state of emotional nothingness. Her interactions with Charlie (her father), her classmates, and with the world at large are robotic and worrisome. Literally emptiness passes through her life for months.
- Hallucinations - You want to see the scenes when Bella starts to realize she needs to make a friend, and tries to repair the bonds she and Jessica Stanley had in Twilight (both book and movie). Along the way, though, Bella begins to hear a familiar, lovely voice, and see a familiar-ish, un-lovely face (a reminder of her near-attack in Port Angeles). Jessica may think she's crazy, but Bella becomes exhilarated because she realizes that when her adrenaline gets pumping, Edward's promise that it would be like he never existed becomes untrue and she can hear his beautiful voice right there with her.
