New Moon - The Motion Picture, Mania And Merchandise

New Moon, the second in the series of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga to arrive on the big screen, has had something of a bumpy ride getting here. Initial up there was the difficulty of Edward Cullen, played in the flicks by heart-throb Robert Pattinson, and therefore the limited quantity of time he’s actually in the second book, and then there was the difficulty of the lawsuit filed by an recent college area-mate of Meyer’s, who claimed alleged plagiarism against the author of Twilight.

The cast and crew soldiered on though, and the end result of their labors has rapidly become an enormously big hit all over the planet. Edward is seen throughout the movie in a way which could seem a little cheesy, but then, this is often the Twilight line, and cheese isn’t any stranger to it. That said, the movie has been obtaining abundant better reviews than the first entry in the range, which was not welcomed by many critics and criticized for some of the somewhat uneasy aspects of the relationship concerning a century-old vampire and a teenage girl.

It would seem that the makers of the Twilight films over at Summit Entertainment listened to the practical criticism of some reviews (and ignored the rants of those that disliked it) and have produced a much better movie now round. Their paid off, and predictions of the movie being a huge hit have been confirmed to be spot on. Fans have been rushing to see it, and therefore the New Moon goods scene is awash withnovel items for fans to collect.

The series of New Moon goods appears a little classier than previous efforts for franchises such as Harry Potter, as the books that every one of this comes from are geared toward a completely different demographic; namely kids in their early to mid teens, instead of children upwards. This can be why some aspects of the merchandising, such as the Twilight and New Moon duplicate jewellery, is proving to be such a robust seller.

It is also interesting that alternative New Moon goods items like posters, calendars, bookmarks and others of their type are therefore widespread with fans, together with special editions of the books themselves, as this is often rather completely different to the way that things usually escort movie goods.

The special editions of the Twilight novels are literally seen as collector’s items to many fans, with these Twilight special editions staying untouched on shelves or still in packaging while their well-thumbed paperbacks are often enjoyed. The audience is thrilled with the newest movie, while many critics are once more pulling it apart. That is an indication of something with a very robust fanbase indeed, and it can actually continue when ‘Eclipse’, the third Twilight movie in the collection, arrives.
