A New Moon will rise on Friday 20th November as Stephenie Meyer’s novel of the same title finally gets its long-awaited cinematic airing, and its fan base of ‘Twi-Hards’ can return to the holy ground of Forks, Washington, to see their heroes battle the forces of good and evil, as well as their raging hormones in the lush greenery.
Returning in Part II is Kristen Stewart as emotionally volatile Bella Swan, Robert Pattinson as porcelain-skinned and brooding vamp Edward Cullen, and Taylor Lautner as the mysterious, but friendly Jacob Black who matures into his true feral self in this episode. It’s set to be more intense, even more exciting, and the waft of hysteria will be felt like a tidal wave a mile off around any cinema complex. This is something that still surprises its young stars, including the newly buffed Taylor:
“I guess, after Twilight, we expect anything, but it’s still a constant surprise to me. I’m always surprised by the fan reactions and the amount of fan support behind us, just because none of us expected it.”
