One of the big complaints with Twilight was the absolutely cheesy effect used to make Edward Cullen sparkle in the sunshine. Rumor has it that this effect will be improved in New Moon–apparently even the script notes that the sparkle is “better than in Twilight”.
How do you imagine the sparkling skin? Is it closer to the fan art above or something else entirely? Post what you think the sparkles should look like in the comments.

Melissa Rosenberg, scriptwriter for both Twilight and New Moon, has laid to rest rumors that Breaking Dawn is in an advanced stage of production, noting that she hasn’t written the script yet, nor has she received direction from Stephenie Meyer on how to proceed--
“The most I’ve heard from Summit is ‘re-read it and start thinking about it,’” says Rosenberg, who is completing her show-running duties on the fourth season of the Showtime series Dexter. More telling, she hasn’t yet received one of the manifestos Meyer famously puts together before Rosenberg begins turning one of her books into a movie. Another source is also skeptical that Summit is far along in developing a fourth film. “As far as I know, Stephenie was still having meetings asking, ‘Can we really make this into a movie?’”
Fans of Rosenberg’s adaptation of Twilight to the big screen will soon have the chance to buy a copy of the script and have have it signed personally by Melissa. She’ll be at the LA Times Festival of Books helping raise money for the Writer’s Guild Foundation this Saturday in Los Angeles. Full details can be found at the LA Times.
