twilight1909 wrote:What?! Is that budget set in stone?? $50 mil is WEAK! How are they supposed to improve New Moon from all the flaws in Twilight if they refuse to invest more money? I don't understand. That especially doesn't make sense if Rob and Kristen are getting 12 mil each. I'm not saying they don't deserve it, but what about special effects and everything...

What the hell Summit? :evil:
Personally, I do not think either is worth 12 mil. Glad to know Rob thinks that about his salary. CH may have been a fan of Twilight, but she along with Rosenberg did not follow the core. I do not care how much they were screwed on budget. CH was the one to say in an interview that she had wanted to put more of Rob in the picture(NM) - that would go against what is in the book. Stay with the book!

This NM situation is going to be a real mess. It sounds like this Chris Weiss guy from "Golden Compass" is a terrible choice. I never saw GC, but I heard nothing but sucky reviews about it.

Summit could not find the bathroom even if the door was open and the toilet was in front of their faces! :x

Steven Strait would be the perfect Jacob for Eclipse & BD - he was the one that SM wanted originally. His portrait is on her website under Craptastic Covers. But since they have already started with Taylor and he is really showing that he can do Jacob, give the guy his chance to shine. I don't have a problem with him portraying Jacob, he looks the part and seems to have a handle on his(Jacob's) personality.

I was going to post the same thing about getting $12mil so Rob will walk around naked! :lol:

"Screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg submitted her draft of 'New Moon' the weekend 'Twilight' opened. Summit wanted to start production on the second film early next year. Hardwicke believed more time was needed to carefully adapt the second book.
Summit's production president, Erik Feig, told the Hollywood trades the studio appreciated Hardwicke's 'incredible job' in launching the film franchise, but 'we as a studio have a mandate to bring the next installment in the franchise to the big screen in a timely fashion so that fans can get more of Edward, Bella and all of the characters that Stephenie Meyer has created.'
Translation: Let's get that cash flowing!"

NOOOO! I definitely have my issues with Hardwicke, but at least she was concerned about getting the necessary prep time for NM... it seems as though all Summit cares about is a quick buck.

Even Kristen said "I sure hope they don't f--- it up." WE HOPE SO TOO :!:

Which part? The 12 mil fundraiser or the decent script?

(I've got thirty-seven cents in my couch cushions and I'm giving it all to the cause!)

i hate to say this..
well we have to thank summit for bringing twilight to the big screen..
BUT.. what the hell did they do..?
there was no HEART involved..
ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY BABY! THAT'S ALL THEY CARE ABOUT..

CH tried her best to get NM in great shape and to please fans.. BUT summit wanted it sooner to they can get their money back sooner.. *sigh*

LONG wait.. i hope it's all worth it..

I know, I was agreeing with Rob about the fact that he said he was only in two scenes and why get paid the 12 mil. That's why I am glad he is humble about that.

All we need to do is get 120,000 fan girls to donate $100 each. I don't think $100 is too much to ask to see Rob naked :shock:

He will still need to 'trim' a little for my tastes. I personally do not like 'grass on the playground', but otherwise, uh ya!!!!! :lol:
