Frequenters of this column will know that this Examiner is slightly more than optimistic about the box office fate of our dearly anticipated sequel to Twilight, The Twilight Saga: New Moon.
Pungent in the air (no pun intended) is the aroma of Twilight stardom all across the globe. With Robert Pattinson taking Cannes by storm (as his plate of post-Twilight saga film options continues to grow), Kristen Stewart keeping her cool in Vancouver (and her dream film The Runaways nearing production), and Taylor Lautner, well, making photographic waves with his apparent sweetie (and impressively instantaneous athleticism), these Twilight stars are on the world's radar - and everybody knows it.
Yet, that is to say nothing about the ears, eyes, and hearts of millions who wait anxiously for news and updates about production of the film itself.
For months, the New Moon news has been on a steady streamline, here and everywhere on the web. It's not because the film is tomorrow, next week, or even this summer - it's still many moons (pun intended) away. It is because the anticipation for this film is so incredibly high that every detail of the production process is of massive importance to Twilight fans. In some cases racing to and fro from location (Vancouver) to location (Italy), fans of the Twilight saga wait on pins and needles for that precious day in November.
That said, it is no surprise that the crew and studio are fully aware of fan expectations, and are scheduled to deliver as promised. What with Chris Weitz at the helm of The Twilight Saga: New Moon, David Slade behind the lens for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, cast members like Michael Sheen, Jamie Campbell Bower, and Dakota Fanning added to the heavy-hitters on thespian-duty for the films, and with an increased budget and fan awareness, the coming portions of the Twilight saga films are, indeed, a cut above the already magnanimous force that was 2008's Twilight by Catherine Hardwicke.
In reviewing the hot-item sure-to-be-top-of-the-weekly-summer-charts blockbusters making headway the past few weeks, more than a few commentators had their share to say about the future of New Moon in the box office. Claiming that it is a ridiculous, unfounded, and lofty dream to anticipate that our beloved film will make it to the top, these nay-sayers put to the proverbial bed any hope that The Twilight Saga: New Moon would make it to the top.
However, knowing the fandom of Twilight as I do, I (still) predict that those voices can and will be silenced come November. Once, twice, three times a Twilight-er.
So, for all those who agree and think that The Twilight Saga: New Moon stands a fair shot at the number one spot for 2009, raise your hand
