'New Moon' will be 'bigger' than 'Twilight,' says Peter Facinelli
Beware or rejoice, Twilighters. "New Moon" will make "Twilight" look like the little independent movie it was.
The difference between the two is that "New Moon "looks a little bigger, more studio-like," says Peter Facinelli, who plays the head of the Cullen vampire clan. "The CGI is gonna be pumped up a little bit. ... It's much needed because there's a lot more CGI effects because you have a lot of werewolf stuff, and if that looks iffy then the movie won't work."
And he says that Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson's onscreen romance is strictly that -- an onscreen romance.
Glad he cleared that up.
But we also talked to him about his new role on Showtime's upcoming series "Nurse Jackie," in which he plays yet another doctor, albeit a very different one from the calm Dr. Cullen.
He kinda reminds us of Tom Cruise's cocky character in "Jerry Maguire" on speed.
What do you think about Peter's "New Moon" prediction?
I totally agree with Peter. Twilight wasn't supposed to be the phenomenon that it was, which is why when it rolled around in theaters it looked (and was) wildly unprepared and nowhere near the expectations of about 70% of the readers (though non readers seemed to enjoy it). This time, Summit is taking this franchise head on and making sure it doesn't lose its audience. They know that a ton of people gave up on the movie series because they saw how (let's be honest) lame it was, and they will do their best to bring them back. Seeing as how the trailer for this one is completely EPIC (especially compared to its predecessors), I say its going to draw in a larger crowd. I'd say those that have strayed for the most part will return, along with the fanatics and the people that aren't readers. It'll be huge, and with good reason. Twilight pretty much sucked, and this looks like its going to be about 10,000 x better. Here's to hoping!
i ah-gree that Twilight basically sucked. I read the book just so I would be in the know when I watched the movie. It did not, however, live up to my already high expectations. New Moon will absolutely be better!
