MTV has an article talking about 5 differences in the movie New Moon. Chris Weitz and Melissa Rosenberg explain to MTV why the changes. They talk Edward’s car, Grandma, Victoria, Taylor and the last scene.
Read all about it here.
There are spoilers!!!!!
Here is an explanation on Edward’s famous car:
If his lousy parking job distracted you, perhaps you didn’t notice that when Edward pulled into Forks High, his famed Volvo was no longer gray, as it was in the novels and the first movie. Hey, Chris Weitz, what gives? “I’ve taken a real spanking for this, a lot of heat,” the director explained. “I’ll tell you exactly why: Volvo wanted to give us a new, different car so I didn’t want to paint it exactly the same silver color, because then [Twilighters] would be saying, ‘Why are they trying to say that it’s the same car; it’s obviously not.’ So, I thought, ‘Well, I’ll choose a new color!’ And I thought I would choose slate black, not a reflective black, because it actually absorbs light and it would reflect the mood and melancholy and depression [of his character]. I know I got it wrong, I apologize for that. But that is my reasoning.”

The car thing ddin’t make me mad. I thought it was fine. He’s got a ton of money, why not play with different cars? Show off that Cullen wealth? Beautiful car by the way!
I know, right! But Ms. Heather doesn’t think so.
didnt notice much to busy concentrarin on him
but soon forgot his face wen wolf pack came on
all except quil
sorry to all that like or luv him
I absolutely adored this movie. I hated the ending though– me, and about the entire theater (each of the 4 times i went to see it) came out cursing about the ending. Maybe that’s just me.
Just sayin.
Spoilers every were… that why I can wait till December (That’s when they release it here in Dominican Republic, so lame!) but I just have to wait 2 hours to get home and watch it… I’m so happy
lousy parking job? who flippin cares?! it was what happened AFTERWARD that I cared about! (talk about hyperventilation)
I love your name!
Alice,
That’s one the one thing i don’t agree with u but everything else i agree
That’s okay, we don’t have to be exactly alike, we still think Heather sucks and that’s good enough for me ^^.
Yay!! and i just don’t like edward… for some reason…
Me too! Although Jacobs nice sometimes . . .and Seth is AWSOME!
I was really disappointed when I saw Edward coming out of a black, kind of suburban-looking vehicle. I wish he kept the silver Volvo. I mean, it’s a huge part of the series!!!! But, I guess I do understand his reasoning.

Oops…. I wrote that twice.
is it just me that thought the movie was rally and that the bad out weighed the good the good being Taylor’s acting the wolves and there transformation and Bella screaming besides that i thought the rest was bad…… alot of jumpin from scene to scene that made no sense and yes i have read the book a couple times and i love them but the movie does no justice to those books it was just bad…… i thought it was goin to be some what good because everyone keeps sayin it good but it truly isnt but that’s just my opinion i hope david dose way better than chris did….. and you know what the whole silver volvo thing yeah i dont like the change the volvo is in every book it does make a difference they should have kept it silver…..
i thought the movie was amazing. that pays for the car. i mean, WHO CARES ABOUT THE CAR??? i was fixed on edward.
Wow, who actually cared that much about a car? I thought the car was sexy actually. Any car Edward came out of would be amazing. The movie needs to be able to have SOME creativity anyway!
