Here it is, the new movie poster for the Twilight sequel New Moon…

Okay, we’re back in the smoky woods, there is nothing wrong there. We have the main cast, check, a cool logo, double check… Ah, guys? I didn’t know that the plot of New Moon involved Edward and Bella fighting each other for Jacob’s love. But there we have it, Jacob in the middle of them, turning away from the woman of his dreams and looking like it is taking everything in him not to profess his love to the vampire with a soul who sparkles. Meanwhile, said vampire is glaring at Bella and were his arms always that disproportionate? I mean his right arm is either freakishly long or the left one is a bit too slumpy.

What do you think about the poster? Am I being too mean here?

It truly is a “New Moon” for Twilight fans as Catherine Hardwicke has been taken off the sequel to the vampire romance. Variety is reporting that Hardwicke and Summit Entertainment had very different, and strong, opinions on where they should go with the sequel.

“The debate was how to focus the adaptation of the second book, which deals more with giant werewolves than vampires, as well as the long depression of Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), after her vampire lover (Rob Pattinson) leaves her.”

Personally, I think this is the best route for Summit to take to save the franchise for future adaptations. Twilight was a mess of a film with horrible direction from Harkwicke, and while it did decent box office, it has been critically panned across the board. Fresh blood could save this series the same way that Alfonso Cuarón’s masterful Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban lifted the boy wizard from two mediocre films from Chris Columbus.

It is just really refreshing to see a company that doesn’t have tunnel vision with box office numbers, and honestly wants to make a better film.

Last week we got a handful of new photos from the film adaptation of Twilight, and now we have a new poster.  Pictured above, the poster features Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Bella (Kristen Stewart) in the foreground with the movie’s trio of villains, James (Cam Gigandet), Laurent (Edi Gathegi), and Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre), in the background.
