The Pure Power of the Twilight Series
Posted by Josephine Archibald | Filed under Arts & Entertainment
Twilight is modeled upon a vampire-romance involving a young couple - one vampire and the other human being. It was composed by the well-known author Stephenie Meyer.
Strangely enough, Twilight came to be rejected by no less than fourteen agents when Stephenie Meyer was initially looking for publication. I can’t help but visualize what exactly those agents went through emotionally Possibly just a little like having a night off from the lotto, just to find that the actual numbers you decide on week-in and week-out have been picked out on the one day you resolved not to buy a ticket.
As most people presently know, Twilight grew to become a hit and even best-seller when originally it was released in 2005 in hardback. The actual publication first showed at number 5 upon the New York Times listing of Best Sellers within just a month of getting published, and after that moved on to get number 1.
Within the same 12 months, Twilight the novel was provided with the accolade of becoming named one among Publisher’s Weekly’s Best in Children’s Books. Additionally, it proceeded to go on to end up the biggest selling book in 2008 and also has spent over 91 weeks on the New York Times Best Seller list. The book has also been translated into thirty seven languages.
The earliest book of the Twilight series introduces 17 year-old Isabella “Bella” Swan who relocates with her papa to Forks in Washington. So there, while attending school, she meets Edward Cullen and falls in love with him. The fact is that, little does she realize that Edward is in fact a creature of the night - a vampire!
Right after the first novel - Twilight, New Moon was next to be released, then Eclipse and afterward Breaking Dawn.
The film version of Twilight was released in 2008 and turned out to be a commercial success making profits in excess of $382 million US throughout the world. An extra $157 came as a result of DVD and blu-ray product sales within America exclusively, up to and including July of 2009.
In the earlier days - in 2005, initial critical reviews pertaining to Twilight were overall fairly favourable. Publishers Weekly went so far as to point out that Stephenie Meyer “appeared to be amongst the most talented new writers of 2005″. Appears to be that they got that right then, to say the least!
The Times stated the novel harnessed “flawlessly the teenage emotion of sexual anxiety along with alienation”. Good way to say it, really!
Amazon.com portrayed the novel as being “profoundly enchanting and astonishingly suspenseful”. Seems true-to-type vampire meets girl love tale, but yet with a lot more subtleness, intricacy, delicacy and romance, agree?
And I quite enjoy this one myself - Publishers Weekly’s starred review referred to Bella’s “infatuation with outsider Edward, their high risk romance, and also Edward’s inner struggle” as “a metaphor for sexual frustration accompanying teenage years”. Next to nothing new there then, is that not the usual adolescent relationship we are all certainly familiar with found in modern day society? Simply goes to reveal just how true -to-life the actual Twilight novels and motion pictures truly are; though needless to say - with a twist
And now is the time to go learn a bit more about Stephenie Meyer and Twilight. Add a lovely Twilight poster to your collection while you’re there!

Information On The New Moon Dvd Release Date
Posted by Rose Moore | Filed under Arts & Entertainment
Scores of eager aficionados of the Twilight series impatiently wait for the release of the New Moon DVD, and there is finally some news for them. However, it is possibly subject to change, but the New Moon DVDs tentative release date is announced as somewhere around mid-late March, 2010. Twilight fans congregate by the thousands at movie theaters when New Moon came out in the fall. New Moon is a sequel to another big box office hit, the exceedingly popular movie Twilight. It is projected that once the New Moon DVD hits the markets it is going to sell many copies in a hurry.
The producers of movies are often reluctant to release the DVD dates too early as they are hoping that their film will remain in theaters for a long while. The New Moon movie is likely to remain showing in theaters well into the end of 2009 and beginning of 2010. The first movie in the series, Twilight, was in theaters on November 21, 2008, with the Twilight DVD being released March 20, 2009, so the New Moon movie seems to be following suit as it was released in movie theaters on November 20, 2009, it is likely to be available on DVD in March 2010.
Those fans eagerly following the lead female character Bella Swan, or anyone who stakes a claim to be on “Team Edward or “Team Jacob” should be delighted to find that the end of the New Moon DVD includes personal commentary from some of the main actors such as Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, and Robert Pattinson as well as Director Chris Weitz’s commentary. It will also have the behind the scenes data and information about the making of the DVD as well. Weitz revealed in deleted scenes, probably around ten minutes worth of them, will be available at the end of the New Moon DVD. He also indicated that the DVD will have deleted scenes actually placed back into the scene from which they were deleted. In this way, they can show them in context rather than simply showing deleted scenes at the end. An extra ten minutes of brand new information, particularly the commentary from the actors for the New Moon DVD is exciting news for Twilight followers.
The New Moon DVD is based on one of the books in an extremely popular series by Stephanie Meyer. The series outline the loves, the lives and of course, the adventures of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen among many other characters. New Moon is the book and movie that show Bella’s 18th birthday party at which she gets a small cut and the sight of her blood causes a vampire attack. To keep Bella safe from vampire threats, Edward Cullen and his entire family leave town. Heartbroken, young Bella ultimately finds some form of comfort with werewolf Jacob Black. New Moon depicts her trying to choose between clinging to the past and to her love for Edward Cullen, or moving on with new friends and a new love.
Twilight saga enthusiasts can look forward to the New Moon DVD being released sometime in March 2010, but meantime, they can anticipate seeing around ten extra minutes of never before seen footage, 20 minutes of commentary and a ‘how did they do that’ section that will surely be a lovely surprise for all of the fans….
The New Moon Dvd will quickly be available for get yours. And the New Moon Dvd release date is fast approaching. To find out where to get yours or for more New Moon DVD information go to New Moon Dvd.
