Yeah, here is the exact wording: For once I agree with Casablanca on something. Now, if you will excuse me I'm going to check for pigs flying.

Following the book faithfully would be a huge mistake (one I don't foresee Summit making), if only for the reason that the whole middle section when Edward leaves is painfully dull. Yes, I'm sure an hour of watching Bella literally hold herself together--when she's not riding a motorcycle or cliff diving with Jacob--will make for fascinating movie-viewing. They might as well flash up "time for bathroom and concession stand breaks" across the screen. Oh, for fuck's sake...

I try and cut Taylor some slack because he is still really young, and I think he's got that thing of trying to emulate older, suaver guys, but because he's just so immature, it mostly comes off as phoniness and trying too hard. I also get the sense that he's not that bright, so when he tries to be clever he more often comes off as lame. RPattz is extremely random and likely high 80% of the time, but he just has that natural charm and confidence where no matter what crazy shit he says, he never comes off as either dumb or trying too hard.
ETA that me trying to cut him slack doesn't mean that it always works, because he seriously does bug the hell out of me.

Yeah, I used to like Taylor and overall he seems like a nice guy (and although I think Rob's "fuck it" attitude towards the movie is hilarious, I think it's sweet that Taylor seems so genuinely excited about the series), but I'm definitely getting famewhore vibes from him. "Celebrity girlfriend"? Who TALKS like that? What's wrong with just "girlfriend"?
Well, he did show up to the Breaking Dawn midnight release party in his hometown...lol.
I still wish we could have gotten a commentary from Stephenie. Some movies will have two separate audio commentaries, so it's not like Stephenie would HAVE to be with Rob and Kristen. Just put her in a room by herself and let her ramble like the self-indulgent weirdo she is.

So who do we think his "celebrity girlfriend" is? I bet it's someone like Topanga or something.

Topanga's way too old for him by now, but maybe it's someone like Selena Gomez, and they have to keep it hush-hush because she's not allowed to date anyone outside of Disney.

If they don't sell the Bella and Jacob friendship/one-sided romance in New Moon what are they going to do when Eclipse comes around and Bella is seemingly torn between her friendship with Jacob and her love for Edward. I think Taylor needs to have a bigger role in New Moon to set up Eclipse. Although I think they should have ditched Taylor for New Moon. He's too young looking and apparently from what I've read on this thread too young acting.

Twilight was easy to adapt because, let's face it, there really wasn't much going on in the (500 page!!) book. New Moon has Edward leaving, the Jacob/Bella friendship/more, him joining the Werewolf Club, Alice coming back for Bella and them leaving to Italy to go to the damned Volterri (or however that's spelled). I'm not exactly sure what they could cut out with a) keeping a lot of things intact that set up the next book and b) giving The Pattz more screen time.

Apparently, Summit is already looking at a new director for Eclipse. Allegedly, Juan Antonio Bayona and James Mangold are interested. Also, I can rest easy about the Vanessa Hudgens rumors. According to New Moon's scriptwriter, Melissa Rosenberg, Leah Clearwater isn't even in the script.
