My friend wrote a song inspired by New Moon and put it up on youtube. She has CDs out but this particular song isn't anywhere but youtube. Acoustic/folk music with good lyrics:

DISTRACTIONS

I'm torn on it. I love the coloring and stuff, but the body language to me seems so...strange. I don't know.

I just watched E!News and they displayed the official poster. If that is the one you are talking about, it is very different from what I thought it would be. Jacob & Bella should be out front - not Edward. New Moon is about Jacob/Bella relationship and that should have been displayed with Rob in the background. Whatever.

Now, the movie has to be fan-frickin-tastic but I hope the poster is not indicative of Summitt putting more of Rob/Edward in the storyline when he is not supposed to be.

I like the way the poster is; Jacob in between Bella and Edward. Edward is out of reach, and he's what Bella wants & Jacob is in between them. it fits. i dont think Edward should be in the back at all. Even though he wasnt physically in New Moon as much, he still played just as big a role as Jacob.

But to me, Jacob is immediate and there for a good part of NM. He's right there in front of you.
But Edward is certainly on everyone's mind, but more in the shadows of the story. I don't think he should be a pinprick in the poster, but to have up front there makes it seem like they'll be following Edward as much (or even more than) Bella and Jacob. It seems blasphemous to me.

i agree. i think they should have had edward in the back somewhere and focused more on jacob & bella. i thought the poster was weird, it wasn't something i expected. it's not bad, i just think it would have fit eclipse more than new moon. i feel like they're trying to hard to make edward's role bigger than what it should be.

That was brilliant. :]

New Moon might have Jacob's and Bella's friendship development but the story still remains about Edward and Bella and that is what New Moon is all about--how it is like to be a part from each other. I was actually surprised they put Jacob in the poster with them in the first place, in eclipse? sure. But not New Moon.

I wish the poster had only Bella and Edward. And then another separate one with Jacob and Bella. And that should be it.

I think this movie poster would be perfect for Eclipse -- New Moon is about the tragic separation between Edward and Bella, not the fight between Edward and Jacob. I hope the poster's vibe isn't indicative of the movie . . .

Oh well, I'm just happy that we have something official
And p.s. I based my latest siggy off the new poster -- here's the link because I tend to change it from time to time . . .

While I understand why people are concerned about their being too much Edward in New Moon, I think that the poster is just fine the way it is. I mean, Summit needed to create a poster that will not only please the fans but also make sense to the thousands of people who have only seen the Twilight movie and not read the books. It would have probably been pretty confusing for them to see a poster for the next movie in the saga and have the heroine in the arms a character who played only a minor role in Twilight. I know that if I had seen Twilight and not read the books, then seen a movie poster (which I actually saw up in a theater in San Francisco a couple of days ago ) featuring Bella in the arms of someone who wasn't Edward I might not want to watch the next movie. It would seem to defeat the whole romantic storyline set up in Twilight.

If I would have done anything differently it wouldn't have been to remove only Edward from the poster, but Jacob as well. Though the entire Twilight saga is about the love between Bella and Edward and New Moon brings Jacob to the fore in a huge way, I think that out of all of the books in the series, New Moon focuses the most on Bella. The poster could have been especially poignant if she had been alone. Her feeling of abandonment and solitude is kinda the whole point of the book anyway.
