I LOVE David Slade, and after the blunder and horridness of New Moon, the only reason I am even remotely excited for Eclipse is because he’s the director. But now, they won’t even let him create Eclipse in his own vision. Slade and Jones are a winning team. I really hope Slade releases a “director’s cut” where Eclipse borders more on the horror storyline that I know Slade can deliver, instead of another sap-fest like New Moon.
If Slade wants to direct a horror film, he should find a horror film to direct.
Twilight is not a horror story. It’s a love story about a young woman’s first love, who happens to be the ulitmate “Jimmy-Dean-esque” outsider/bad-boy: a vampire.
Even in action movies, without realistic relationships between the characters, there’s nothing to hold together the fighting, car chases, vampire-blood-spewing gore, or whatever.
Look at the Terminator series. The reason the last one did so poorly is because, while Worthington created a very real, sympathetic character, the character relationship development was almost absent.
Quoting Ridley Scott, “Audiences are less intrigued, honestly, by battle. They’re more intrigued by human relations. If you’re making a film about the trappings of the period, and you’re forgetting that human relationships are the most engaging part of the storytelling process, then you’re in trouble.”
I cannot believe that people still think this twilight movie franchise is great. I think they completely ballsed it from the start. Not impressed with the actors, the direction given (please that stupid scene from the class room – I laughted out loud it was completely moronic), the editing of scenes and the complete lack of certain scenes which in my mind were pivotal to the story. Bella was made to look like an idiot, where in the book she is pretty cluey, just quiet.
I am over Summit’s interpretation of the series. I honestly hope that it will get picked up again in twenty years and refilmed. Hopefully as something that resembles the story.
This really worries me…Twilight was so….bad. Too bad they couldn’t get the editor of New Moon instead. Lets face it, its probably not the best book in the series but it made for a great movie.
OMG. LOL! NM was a tough book-to-movie challenge because there was no Edward. So Weitz’s answer–have Edward hover in the ethers, like God looking down from a cloud. THAT was LOL hysterical.
And the wolves Weitz created? They were giant plush dolls with teeth. There was nothing “wolf” about them. Wolves are very intimidating just by their being and bearing. You should already have the bejesus scared out of you by the wolf way before you ever see the teeth.
The Twilight story is about a young woman in love for the firt time, and how two completely different types of people could fall in love.
It’s not a horror or vampire flick just because there are vampires in it-just like NM is a nature documentary because it has wolves in it.
