RW715 - Twilight Saga Rewatch - New Moon

 

In this episode of The Twilight Saga Rewatch, Cory, Eoghan and Rose are pushing the limits of risk as they discuss New Moon.

Trailer:

Our Favourite Trivia:

New Moon spans 7 months (September 2005 - April 2006 according to the books)

The budget was upped to $50M for New Moon (from $37M in Twilight)

Production swapped to using wigs for Alice, Jasper, and Rosalie in New Moon

The visual ‘nod’ to the books covers continues (the burning bowl of bloody bandages)

They actually shot scenes on location in Tuscany, Italy. (Montepulciano specifically)

They're not true werewolves, just wolf shifters. And yes, this distinction is important, and comes up in a later film.

During production, they had behind the scenes free iTunes “episodes” you could download in the lead up to the movie releasing which showed their VFX process.

In the books, Bella has a part time job at Mike Newton's family's sporting goods store… this was omitted from the movies. (But referenced in 50 Shades)

What's Up Next?

We're curious where this will go in Eclipse.
