In this clip, Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) face the Volturi for the first time. Oh, Edward! And check out this clip where Bella slaps Paul. Oh, Jacob!

Specifically, the director said he wanted to keep the second film adapted from Stephenie Meyer’s books from Bella’s (Kristen Stewart) perspective, so it would be in line with the book. So when Alice has a vision of Edward about to commit suicide, she conveys that to Bella who imagines seeing it.

Do you think “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” will live up to your expectations?

“When I saw the film of Twilight, I was alternately entranced and left hungry for more. I was also struck by the extraordinary passion for the characters, story and theme that was evident in the people sitting in the seats around me. My job is to live up to that devotion.”

Weitz adds, “…I will devote myself to making the very best and most faithful version of ‘New Moon’ that can be brought to the screen. To those who doubt that as a male director I can capture Bella’s experience, I can only say that emotion is universal and that my work has often involved working with some of the most talented actresses in the world … I promise to remain responsive to your hopes and fears.”

This is really cool that he understands the whole “Twilight” fever, and is promising to treat the work thoughtfully and respect the fans’ devotion.

What do you think? Will Chris Weitz do a good job with “New Moon”?

Hardwicke said, “New Moon’s really taking a whole other leap with this new story, and there’s really a lot of new characters in it. There’s the werewolves which is pretty crazy. All the wolves. Then there’s also going to Italy in the second book, and there’s motorcycle riding and cliff-jumping and diving. I love jumping off of cliffs. So it’s kind of up my alley – into water, yeah.”

I haven’t read the “Twilight” books yet, but I went into this movie expecting big things based on the massive fan frenzy. I wasn’t disappointed. “Twilight” is romantic and thrilling, whether you’re a teenager or a mom, and even though some of the content is dark, it’s still warm and uplifting. How does it manage to do that?

More after the jump…

Based on the books by Stephenie Meyer, Melissa Rosenberg has crafted a fine screenplay that digs deep into a fantastical world of longing and forbidden love. Director Catherine Hardwicke has brought together all the right elements: a terrific cast, beautiful soundtrack, and moody landscape of the Pacific Northwest.

Kristen Stewart plays Bella Swan, a teenaged girl who moves to the rainy little town of Forks, Washington to live with her dad. Bella has a great relationship with her mom, but her mom has remarried a minor league baseball player and is moving around the country with him. So Bella decides to go live with her dad for a while.

She quickly makes friends at her new high school, but one mysterious boy named Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) is just…well, mysterious. After sitting next to him for one day in science lab, he disappears for several days. And there are other things: he stops a speeding truck from crashing into her, he runs as fast as a mountain lion, and his skin is pale and ice-cold. She soon figures it out – he’s a vampire.

The two quickly fall in love. Her dad (Billy Burke) is less than thrilled, but even though he and Bella have an awkward relationship, he still loves her and doesn’t want any weird boy messing with her. That provides for some comic relief in this rather dark, romantic storyline.

After some magical moments between Bella and Edward – he whisks her high atop a tree with a magnificent view of the Pacific Northwest – she’s welcomed into his family. She even gets to participate in a fun, all-American sport with them. But danger is afoot, and not all the vampires are as welcoming to humans as the Cullens.

Here’s my theory: The “Twilight” books and movie is captivating because it touches on a lot of things we wish we had in our lives: someone to love and protect us unconditionally, a passionate romance with a superhuman guy, and some mystery and intrigue to spice things up. Not to mention that the two leads, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, have fantastic chemistry and they’re both beautiful. Yes, he’s beautiful, too.

A movie on the next book in the series, “New Moon,” is already in motion, with a release date of 2010 planned. Looking forward to it!

Note to Parents: The PG-13 rating is a good go-by on this one. There’s some fighting that gets pretty intense, and although Edward and Bella don’t sleep together, you know they want to. The problem is that whenever he gets close to her, he has to fight the urge to bite her, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. Ah, true love.
