The Twilight Saga: New Moon
(USA, 2009, 130 minutes)
Vampire Edward leaves Bella to protect her from his own kind; she finds solace in the arms of a Native American friend who turns out to be a werewolf at immemorial war with the vampires. Second of the four Twilight books to be made into a film, unsuccessfully introducing the series' more fantastical universe into the central romance; the serious intensity of the romantic plot doesn't jibe with the campy horror movie elements, but fans of the books won't really mind.
Summit Entertainment presents a Temple Hill production, in association with Maverick Films/Imprint Entertainment and Sunswept Entertainment.
Starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Ashley Greene, Rachelle Lefevre, Billy Burke; with Michael Sheen; and Dakota Fanning.
Directed by Chris Weitz; produced by Wyck Godfrey, Karen Rosenfelt; screenplay by Melissa Rosenberg, based on the novel by Stephenie Meyer, New Moon; music by Alexandre Desplat; director of photography (DeLuxe, Panavision), Javier Aguirresarobe; production designer, David Brisbin; costume designer, Tish Monaghan; film editor, Peter Lambert; visual effects supervisor, Susan MacLeod.
