Article on the Twilight Graphic Novel

So made a post just a few minutes ago about my Twilight Graphic Novel, so excited about it, well USA Today has an article about it.

They talk with people associated with the graphic novel adaptation and how Stephenie Meyer put her input into it.

Check it all out here.

“When it comes to really seeing Stephenie Meyer’s personal vision of the Twilight property, this is as close an opportunity there is to accomplishing that,” says Yen’s Kurt Hassler. “Stephenie was very specific and has very clear images of what the characters look like in her head.”

Meyer likes what she sees in Kim’s depictions of sexy teen vampire Edward Cullen and Bella Swan, the girl he loves. She writes in the introduction that seeing Kim’s drawings “brought me back to my first Twilight experience … suddenly I would be feeling all the same things I felt that first summer while I was writing their (Edward and Bella’s) story.”

Comparison of Eclipse Quotes between the trailer and the book

The Twilight Examiner has up a pretty cool article that compares lines from the Eclipse Trailer to lines in the book.

Check them all out here.

Below are a couple:

Trailer: “Isabella Swan, I promise to love you every moment of forever,” Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen.
Book: “Isabella Swan? I promise to love you forever — every single day of forever. Will you marry me?” Edward Cullen, page 460.

Trailer: “She’s still human,” and “the Volturi don’t give second chances,” Dakota Fanning as Jane.
Book: “We don’t make exceptions,” she said. “And we don’t give second chances. It’s bad for our reputation. Which reminds me [. . .] Caius will be so interested to hear that you’re still human, Bella,” Jane, page 578.

Thanks Alison!!!

What scenes should definitely be in the Eclipse Movie?

One of our readers, Arianna, found this at goodreads.com. It’s a list of scenes from the Eclipse book that they think should definitely be in the movie.

Below is what they listed.
Do you agree?
Did they miss anything?
What scene are you most looking forward to seeing in the movie. I’m sure most of the regulars readers here know I am dying to see the tent scene. It is my favorite scene in the entire series!!!!

1. Charlie passing notes between Bella and Jacob. – To me this just shows how bad things got between Jacob and Bella. And just how bad its hurting Jacob (Arggg, I cant believe I just said that because I am so not a Jacob fan. Team Edward all the way!!)

2. All of the newspaper articles about Seattle. – If we didn’t have this then a lot of people who didn’t read the book would be very lost.

3. The trip to see Renee. – I think this is a must because, otherwise Renee would never see how Bella and Edward act together.

4. The English note conversation.- Ok I’ll admit it, this isn’t a major thing but I just love the scene so much. I had to throw it in here, plus it’s a good follow up on the trip.

5. Save the Olympic Wolf/ Jacob scene – This Scene shows how much Bella misses Jacob and the fact that you have to work fast when there’s a psychic vampire involved.

6. Angela and Bella – Its nice to see Bella hang out with other people, other than the Cullens.

7. Alice kidnapping Bella – The amazing Porsche finally comes into play. Bella and Alice get to spend more time together. Also Rosalie becomes a little bit like-able.

8. Jacobs school rescue. – it’s a nice little touch.

9. (MIA) Room – When they really start to realize that someone is after Bella

10. Knife incident – Edward gets to be light-hearted and funny.

11. Bon fire – Bella first gets the idea of the third wife

12. Jasper’s Story – Who doesn’t love hearing about Jasper’s past, plus it helps Bella understand being a newborn vampire a little bit more

13. The kiss – Jacob trying to make Bella realize that she loves him to, so he kisses her. Really how can this not be in it. And a bonus Emmett gets to have his very famous funny line.

14. The bet – I know that this one is small, but I like it

15. Graduation/party – A lot happens Bella figures out some major information and everyone finally gets to see the Cullens’ house. Jacob also makes Bella a bracelet (which I own)

16. Training – MAJOR

17. Comprise – MAJOR, MAJOR. Hello this is like the biggest must have ever. I say every little detail should be in the movie.

18. The tent – Bella realizes she loves both Jacob and Edward

19. The fight – need I say more

20. Poor Jacob – Jacob’s whole right side of his body is broken. Bella gets to spend time with him alone. it’s a very cute scene

21. Planning – Alice finds out she gets to plan a wedding.
