According to Cineplex.com the official running time for the Twilight Saga – New Moon is 2 hours and 2 minutes!

I am loving the fact that New Moon is just over 2 hours long!

[Thanks, Amber!]

Preciously we posted about how to vote for Twilight at the Scream Awards (here).

Chris Weitz and Taylor Lautner are in the November issue of Empire and explain why New Moon is more ‘harder-edged and more man-friendly’

You’ve got the werewolves coming in,” said Weitz, “and the effects are going to be great on that part of the movie. Also, there’s more fighting and that should appeal to the boys. There is also a male character, Jacob, who is inherently a more viable character for most boys because he’s like an ordinary guy. He works on cars, whereas Edward is a perfect man, and maybe he only appeals to perfect men. That makes the demographic rather small! So there’s more of a way into this one – we do hope to up the male demographic!”

Lautner, who’s put on a huge amount of muscle to bulk up for the role, said of his role, ”In Twlight, Jacob is this happy-go-lucky kid, but in New Moon when he shapeshifts into his wolf self, he becomes a totally different person. It was almost a split personality in the same movie and sometimes even in the same day.”

More of the interview can be found in the latest copy Empire.

OK, so maybe “extended” was the understatement of the YEAR! According to many reports there will be 20 (yes – Twenty!) minutes of New Moon shown at the Rome International Film Festival.

There have been no details released: Time, Date, Tickets, all unknown! Nothing has been officially announced. The festival is set to begin on October 15th.

The Twilight Examiner (aka Amanda Bell) has an interesting article in regards to the New Moon premiere date and the Eclipse release date -

On November 16th, the stars of The Twilight Saga: New Moon will line up in Los Angeles for the official premiere of the film.

The heavens, it seems, will also be lining up on that date as well. One Twitterer made an interesting connection between the date of New Moon’s offiical premiere and the lunar calendar.

November 16th will also be the date of a legitimate new moon according to the lunar phase calendar.

Clever? Methinks so.

Moving right along, it seems that The Twilight Saga: Eclipse could be subject to a similar coincidence. The Twitterer’s research proves correct in that on June 26th (four days before the release of Eclipse), a partial lunar eclipse will occur (with the next eclipse, a total eclipse, not due until December 21, 2010). If, like with New Moon’s premiere, Eclipse’s premiere takes place four days before the film’s release, Eclipse will premiere during an eclipse, and New Moon will have premiered during a new moon.

Ahhh .. I tend to agree – clever marketing indeed!

[Thanks, JayPat and Sparks!]
