A lot of people would give me grief when I would talk about the upcoming Twilight sequel and I’d call it “Twilight 2”. They’d say things like “hey moron, the new movie is going to be called New Moon cause that’s the title of the book”. I’d always reply that there was NO WAY the sequel would just be titled “New Moon”.
I mean come on. It’s all well and good that the people out there who have read the book will know exactly what it is… but for the vast majority of the movie going audience, they’ll have no idea “New Moon” has anything to do with Twilight.
That being said, it appears that the studio has officially announced the title for the Twilight sequel. And that title is “The Twilight Saga’s New Moon”. MTV gives us this:
MTV News has the scoop on the official name and logo for Chris Weitz’s soon-to-film sequel to “Twilight.” Dubbed “The Twilight Saga’s New Moon,” the film’s official title art stays true to the look of the first movie while swapping in an orange tint, a subtle crescent moon, and the release date of 11.20.09.
I like the title. It’s a perfect blend of staying true to the titles of the books, yet ensuring clarity for the average film fan.
And yes… I did surprisingly like the first Twilight film and I’m looking forward to this one.
I think the character of Bella needs to be confined in a mental hospital and given lots of anti-psychotic drugs. What a terrible example she portrays for all those lovelorn teenagers who now think its fine to damage yourself in the name of what they think is true love but is really a sick obsession.
i’m sorry all but of course the pregnancy makes sense you play with fire and youre gonna get burnt see my drift…. it makes it good it changes her personality into something she nevern thought she’d be. I loved it =)
anyone who hate’s twilight shall die a very, very painful death. i think twilight is the most amazing, most sexy, and most hot movie ever made. i crave for more, infact, i kill for more!!!
Twilight is the best movie in the world to me. I love edward cullen you guys that hate twilight beware of the CULLEN’S
personally, i think breaking dawn should be a movie cuz it was pretty good, but if there is going to be a movie for breaking dawn then there should be a breaking dawn part 1, then another breaking dawn part 2… cuz, like many long books that i know that were turned into movies, had to have some parts of the book taken out in order to make it a movie. but if that can’t happen… then at least dont have the good parts of the book excluded from the movie, cuz thats just wrong!!!!!!
if ur thinking that twilight should have stopped at eclipse w/ a wedding seen at the end… then ur crazy. yes, the pregnancy was confusing, but how else were they going to finish the saga. i mean… finishing w/ a wedding seen… come on. u can do better then that!!!
ok people who said the pregnancy didn’t make since.. um what about a vampire falling for a human does make sense?? I love the books and thats just a part of what they are. It is ridiculous to say that Breaking Dawn was a disaster bc of the pregnancy. That was the closest thing to reality in the books.
well, i’ve read the four books and it was alright. although i would say that they were very “full love.” you get what i mean? stephenie meyer shows “a lot of love” in the books. maybe because it’s not that suitable for my age now, but really i’m at the exact age to read the book. i mean, i consider myself as a young adult. but then again, i love the saga! it made me sigh when i finished reading all the four. to fully understand how i feel, please have the time to visit my site:
The Twilight Saga
i would love to hear comments from you to improve my site.
thanks!
I understand why they chose to use The Twilight Saga because that is how the book series is refered in the manner.
Rodney – you should have posted a picture of the logo, it’s kind of pretty with the gold lettering using the same font as they did for Twilight.
yeah i liked the half a moon in the middle…its actually cool and different from the twilight one…but if it just said new moon….people would get it
trust me, the word WILL spread that its twilights sequel…thats the stupidest reason to change a name, honestly
Why do people fail at keeping to the discussion? This post was about the title for the new Twilight movie, not whether or not the movies/books suck. And if you hate it so much, why do you waste your time in every post about Twilight talking about how much it sucks? Save your breath for something you like, not something you hate.
Anyway. I don’t like the name. It is to long winded. I think it would be better titled “New Moon” and then in a sub text below that “A Twilight Sequel”. Or something to that nature. It makes more sense as it upholds the title of the book while providing the reminder that it is part of a series.
im not a fan of twilight i think its the same as any other vampire tale, but the title i think should just be NEW MOON or TWILIGHT 2….well whatever wont be seeing it anyway.
I can admit hat I’m not a fan of the books or the movie (read and watched them too… so don’t even bring that up!), but isn’t labeling oneself as a “Saga” a little pretencious? I mean… what don’t the just call it Twilight 2: The New Moon?
Twilight sucks, this new title sucks and the author sucks too cuz she can’t write.
it looks like nobody has any blood in their vains including the humans that are ALIVE
twilight is possibly the palest movie ever made
…
The title sucks. It’s like called the Potter movies: The Harry Potter Legacy Part 1: The Sorcerer’s stone
Hey Dragon, it’s only a way for people to know that its a Twilight movie. The Potter movies do actually do the same thing. If after Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone they named the next movie The Chamber of Secrets and nothing else I might not of known it was a Potter movie.
i never cared for twililght and never will
john
im sorry, it was ussually me that gave you shit everytime you called it twilight 2…lolol sorry
twilight 2 just sounds so..UGH! new moon!
anyways, i dont think this is neccesary, everyone knows new moon is the sequel, as soon as the trailers come out youll GET that thats what he sequel is called and that it WAS twilight, the posters will pretty much say it all…this is a good idea but not for a movie as popular as twilight
but
lets say they really do this, okay i can live with it
BUT!!!!
“The Twilight Saga’s New Moon”!!!!????!?!?!?
i thought that was the tittle of this post for a second, i mean it sounds good for a newspaper article or a post in the movie blog…but it sounds…unmovie tittle like…”the harry potters sage half blood prince”
sound designer dan and mr chris gave us perfect examples, they hsould have been at the meeting when they made up “the twilight sagas new moon”
twilight: new moon doesnt sound bad but THIS sounds HORRIBLE!!!
are we really this dumb that we need something SO obvious spelled OUT?!?! i think it was you john, that once said “the movie idiocracy is a prophecy..” and youre right, moments like these make it so
According to the logo, it’s displayed as
The Twilight Saga (small font)
NEW MOON (bigger font)
If it’s anything like X2: X-MEN UNITED, The whole “THE TWILIGHT SAGA” may not appear in the movie itself.
Without the 2. The Twilight Saga’s New Moon seems a bit TV-ish to me.
They could’ve just titled it “Twilight: New Moon.”
HAHAHA! Commence the NERD RAGE!!
I’d rather they DID call it “Twilight 2: New Moon.” “The Twilight Saga” sounds awkward.
I remember I used to have a big problem trying to figure out which book was which, cause I hadn’t read the back of them, but from just looking at the covers, you’d never know which one was which.
It’s an alright title, interesting, but alright, could be better
haha this one is shaping up to be awsome. the only thing is i hope they stay true to the book, or at least jacob’s MUCH larger part in the book. i hope dakota fanning accepts the role of jane she would be perfect. anyways i cant wait, the only thing is i worry part 4 Breaking Dawn wont get made ito a movie. the story is to “silly” in my eyes and disapointing.
I’m of the opinion that Breaking Dawn shouldn’t be a movie. I think it’ll translate horribly into the movie, but they now have Saga in the title…which eludes to more than three. If they change/edit a lot then maybe Breaking Dawn will turn out alright.
yes breaking dawn was a disaster. i’d rather they put a wedding scene at the end of eclipse and be done with it. there’s no way there will be a movie where a large art of it will be about a pregnancy that doesnt even make sense…
I agree that Dacota Fanning would make the perfect Jane but of course that leaves me wondering who will play Alec. I actually think that it will be easier to transform part 4 of the series (which i think is a great book with the most interesting story plus multiple points of view)far easier than it will be to transform part 2. In new moon she spent majority of the book depressed and sulking. They will have to cut most of the middle and the moie will end up have more to do with jacob as a wolf and bella saving edward with wasnt really the what the book was about the those are key as well.
