Well, the whole premise behind the story IS to bring Jacob into the triangle…gotta have that monkey wrench thrown in to cause all the angst for the next two stories. However, I’m thrilled b/c I’m Team Jacob all the way. Doesn’t mean I hate Edward, he’s quite cool – I just like Jacob more.

I understand your point. I’m more of a team Switzerland, but if your coming from the Team Edward point of view I would be a bit unsettled too. However, New Moon is nearly all about Bella and Jacob’s friendship/relationship and I think the filmmaker is using that to up the drama a lot. After this movie we will get all our Bella and Edward scenes It will be pretty exciting to see how the movie turns out. All the hype is crazy, I agree. Totally a cult following!! Lol. Thanks for your post.

I think that this movie poster is straight forward and to the point. It reciprocates exactly what the the book is about; Jacob coming between Edward and Bella. But im also a Team Edward fan so when i see that all the alarm bells go off. I think its been taken very well but HARRAH for when Edward gets his act together and goes back to Bella.

im so team edward all the way when i was reading the book i was like screaming no when her and jacob were together. hello just like in the book jacob is protecting bella from edward from the memories and everything. notice though bellas looking for edward but she don’t know where to look and edward is in such pain from leaving her. i wish meyers would do the second book over from edwards view so we can see how much pain he was in and what he did and everything when he was gone

I think the poster is great. New Moon is pretty much about Jacob and Bella and this poster nails it. Don’t get me wrong, I like Edward, but I will always be a Jacob fan. Can’t wait for the movie:)

I am TEAM EDWARD all the way. As I was reading New Moon, I hated the fact that it was mostly Jacob/Bella story but there is no GOOD story without conflict. I can’t wait for the movie. I know a lot of people did not liked the Twilight movie but it had brought the book to life for me. I can’t wait for the preview on the MTV awards.

omfg! what is ur problem??!?!? THAT IS THE WHOLE PINT OF THE WHOLE FREAKING STORY! I AGREE W/TEAM EDWARD BUT THE WHOLE POINT IS THAT EDWARD IS THE HERO! AND COMES BACK!

This is about the zillionth commentary like this I’ve seen on the poster, and I have to admit I’m thoroughly confused. Did you really read New Moon? And for that matter, did you read Eclipse? If so, did you completely miss the fact that New Moon is (in reality, not in Bella’s seriously unhealthy psyche) heavily if not primarily about Jacob? And the fact that she needs him like a drug? Did you miss the “realization” that Bella comes to just before the climactic battle in Eclipse? I hate to potentially destroy anyone’s happy little fairy tale bubble, but it is possible to be in love with two people, to have conflicting desires. Yes, Bella is clearly meant to end up with Edward. But how boring (and how much shorter) would the series be without Jacob coming into the picture in such a meaningful way? These are all things that Team Edward groupies need to seriously consider before seeing New Moon.
In the interest of full disclosure, I feel I should say that I’m not on any particular “Team” in the Twilight fandom. Not even Team Switzerland.

Well technically Jacob’s arms are down and not around Bella suggesting more that he’s in the way. As Bella’s hands are held only on top of his arms and not circling him in any way, this suggest that she’s bracing herself against Jacob. And if you really read New Moon that is pretty much what she does she uses Jacobs strength to get her through her nightmare. Try looking up helpful tips on body language. =)

I agree that the hype over this movie is unbelievable. The poster doesn’t depict the story very well to me. She doesn’t have that kind of relationship with Jacob. It gives the appearance of more than friendship, which doesn’t exist at this point. I find myself in awe that I am responding to chat about it! In my 39 years I have never been so enamored with a series of books – which of course (let’s be honest) is what has lead to this phenomenon. I can’t wait to see the movie. My only hope is that it is truer to the story line than the first was. We know it is going to be sad because the book was about Bella’s depression when Edward left her. But we all know how the story ends!!!!

i think the poster is awesome. im team edward but i love taylor lautner and i think its great that he gets to become a part of the new moon poster.

I don’t completely agree with you, but I understand your frustration. From my understanding, we Team Edward fans are going to be getting ALOT more Edward in the movie than even the book gives us, so don’t fret. New Moon is supposed to be about the developing relationship between Bella and Jacob, and how much she relies on him to help her heal. I can see why she is next to him and not next to Edward in the poster. Don’t worry, I think Taylor will be a great Jacob in New Moon, and I think you will be very surprised at how much you are going to love the movie.

I want the movie
to be true to the book as much as it can be
If Bella doesnt like Jacob in the movie
Will that be like the book
NOOOOO

I think Bella should have been in the middle because she is clearly torm between them. Jacob shouldn’t have been positioned as the barrier. However, instead of everyone freaking out about the poster they should be freaking out about rumors that there won’t be a proposal in New Moon!!!! Life & Style Magazine has the latest script and says that Edward has a different bargaining chip instead of marriage because it would seem too out of place and sudden since “I love you” was never said in Twilight. Scary stuff. There had better be a proposal. How could they leave out the proposal??? Adding a new motorcycle scene with Bella and some ganster…okay no big deal. Throwing in a fight scene between Laurent and the wolves…that’s cool. But leaving out THE PROPOSAL???….that’s disgusting. It makes me sick to think that they are going to RUIN the perfect ending. Nothing can replace the propsal. Nothing!!

I too am in awe to find myself posting to a chat about this poster! Anyways…I think the poster is “technically” great – for the record, Bella claims she can only be “friends” with Jacob, but even admits to herself that she behaves in ways that might lead him to think she can be more, ie. holding hands – she is not embracing him in the poster, but their closeness does indicate the strength of their relationship – the fact that Edward is front and center in the poster shows how much more he is to be featured in the movie compared to the book, and really how can you blame them? they’d be crazy not to exploit Rob’s popularity at least somewhat, and any movie based on a book shouldn’t follow it to the letter either, but capture the spirit, as they experienced as two different types of media – my only issue with the poster is that it looks formulaic, like it could been created with step-by-by step instructions from a marketing school or by a computer – doesn’t “grab” me like some of better the fan-made posters

well to start off with duhhhhh of course it’s all about jacob edward LEAVES!!!!! and doesn’t return until the end ,and it seems like friends ship to bells but remember jacob’s always loved her so i think the poster has a good appearance and i can’t wait to see the movie

First of all, it also amazes me to see the amount of thought and discussion that has gone into a movie poster! It truly does show the depth of the fans for the saga. I, honestly, don’t see what all of the fuss is about. I enjoyed the friendship that blossomed between Jacob and Bella in New Moon. I think it is a big chapter in Bella and Edward’s relationship, and it plays a big part in Eclipse. I am with the pro-Edward group, but I also know that her friendship with Jacob plays a big part as well. That being said- I think the poster is appropriate. Edward is facing away from Bella with a torn look on his face- glancing behind him back to her. Jacob is protecting her- the way he does throughout New Moon. The only thing that threw me off is the look on Bella’s face. It didn’t fit for me. I think I would have liked it better if she was looking at Edward. Its just a poster, though, lol. I actually hope the opposite- that they don’t over do the Edward infusion and ruin the storyline of getting to know Jacob. Oh, and I disagree about the proposal, too. I thought it was a bit out of the blue in the BOOK, and I could do without it. Leave it for Eclipse.

Duhh and if you didn’t notice , even though it takes her till the last book to figure it out, she loves Jacob too and yes New Moon is about Jacob and bella.

Sorry not the last book it was in eclipse

I agree with most of the comments, yeah Bella should be positioned in the middle, but if you think of it this way, Edward is distancing himself from Bella, and in a way Jacob has taken the role of Edward in the sense of “protecting Bella”. And as they both see each other as enemies, how Jacob doesn’t like vampires and how Edward sees Werewolves as dangerous as well as his “own kind” the poster makes sense, because it is showing that. Edward loves Bella so much he even says in Twilight the book I love you so much because I can leave if i need to, to protect you. So i don’t really see this poster as being much of an issue, but i can see what some of you are trying to say, I mean I am TEAM EDWARD all the way, but New Moon is basically about Jacob and Bella, the start of a friendship, the start of “new love” so they have to show this in their media campaigns for those who haven’t read the book, they are in a way preparing the fans for New Moon, and how it is in the book, because i hear that it is made as close to the book as it can be, obviously they have to change a few things around and possibly exaggerate some because they are making a movie.

I agree with Lina they cannot leave out the proposal – that would STINK!!!! The poster conveys to me that Jacob is protecting Bella from Edward – to me that kind of happens in Eclipse not New Moon. In Eclipse Bella comes to the realization of her true feelings for Jake and Jake tries to always be there for her
I don’t like the poster since throughout New Moon Bella is paralyzed by Edward not being there in her life and as much as she consumes her time with Jacob, the thought of Edward always lingers – she jumped off the cliff w/out Jake so she could hear Edward’s voice in her head this happens right before she goes to Italy which is past the first 3/4′s of the book. I can’t wait to see the movie as well.

I agree with most of the comments, yeah Bella should be positioned in the middle, but if you think of it this way, Edward is distancing himself from Bella, and in a way Jacob has taken the role of Edward in the sense of “protecting Bella”. And as they both see each other as enemies, how Jacob doesn’t like vampires and how Edward sees Werewolves as dangerous as well as his “own kind” the poster makes sense, because it is showing that.

I think the poster is a great representation of the book. Bella isn’t IN Jacob’s arms, he’s just standing between her and Edward -Jacob didn’t want her to go back to Edward, so this makes sense. And she isn’t looking at either of them, she’s looking past both of them, like she can’t make up her mind. The book was a bit more about Bella and Jacob’s relationship (friendship) than Bella and Edward -since, as said before, Edward did leave. I’m just hoping the movie is more true to the book that Twilight was. Hopefully the movie will be awesome! Can’t wait for the clip!

i am team edward, but i dont really get why he is in the poster! he was in the book for like 5 seconds!

I love the new Poster

I love the poster. I think it says a lot about the book. I am more of an Edward fan than a Jacob one, but a huge portion of the book (and of those to follow) is about Bella’s unconditional love for Edward, but her inability to stop loving Jacob in the way that she does. Thus, her hand on Jacob’s arm is kind of like saying that she doesn’t really want to let him go.
I think Edward’s stance in the poster is very relative to his actions in New Moon. He turned away from Bella and barely looked back at her. And Jacob looks fitting in between Edward and Bella, because all of his time in New Moon and the following books is spent trying to keep Bella away from the vampire. Can you think of a time in New Moon where Jacob didn’t try to come between them in some way?

I am really psyched about the poster. I think that the poster is just showing us that Jacob is protecting Bella, not from Edward, but who Edward could become. I am for Team Jacob, but my opinions are not biased. I agreed with some of the other comments. If you would have read the whole series, then you would understand the story. Bella seeks friendship in Jacob that may go beyond what she really feels, and I also agree with the other comment, you can love two people at once, it is possible. I had no idea what a huge Twilight fan I became until I read these books. When I got started I was hooked. I am excitingly waiting for the movie to come out, can’t wait.

The poster is the least of my worries. Let’s not forget that although Edwards reason for leaving was understandable, Jacob is the one who brought Bella back to life. She is in the middle of them, only as a mediator, not in the sense of confusion over who to pick. Any twilight fan knows who Bella wants, and she would ultimately desert everyone in her life it meant she could be with Edward. My real concern is the changes made from the book to the movie. I understand everything from the book cannot translate into a movie. However, why change the scenes that will be in it. They did this with Twilight. Although I couldn’t help but watch the movie (over and over), I couldn’t understand why they put a senseless field trip in it, when that wasn’t at all in the book. Also, the visit to the house was completely different. She wasn’t even introduced to the Volturi. They should have developed Edward and Bella’s relationship more, and kept the scenes they were using exactly like the book. With that said, let’s get back to the present. Because they did such a poor job developing the story, New Moon will more than likely be another disappointment. I really hope I am wrong, and that New Moon is geared around the book, but these rumors worry me. The wedding and honeymoon was my favorite aspect in the entire saga, and an absence of his desire to be married to Bella will devastate all Twilight fans. Why not give the fans what they really want, quit changing things and go with what we all love.

I actually heard that Edward’s in this movie quite a bit. I’m excited and nervous at the same time to see how this movie will turn out. It’s a different director, but it’s the screenwriter I’m worried about and that person is the same. They left so much out of the first movie that’s relevant to the rest of the movies to come so we’ll see if they’re able to dig themselves out of that whole.

Why is this person going nuts? Edward was not in the movie much at all.And for a bit Bella thinks she may like Jacob.I think this poster shows are good pic of the book and movie. I like it.

I absolutly am a die hard taylor lautner fan…. i dont like the poster because he’s mine not hers!!!! But it does go excellent… with the film i mean

Tbh I Agree With You
She Should Be On Her Own Not In The Arms Of Jacob
But I Have A Realy Good Idea For An Eclips One
Having Her In Edwards Arms While Jacob And Victoria Are Looking At Them Cos There Both Jelos But In Difrent Ways xx

I like the poster because it captures the book. Bella trying to get to Edward but Jacob getting in the way. I am so on team Edward but Taylor is hot. This is the start of the whole love triangle that really makes the books so great and the poster captures that.

It doesnt matter which team u are on. Twilight is about bella and edward. New Moon is about Bella and JACOB. and last time i checked they r putting lots of edward in there. I love taylor lautner and im team jacob but that doesnt make me biased. i used to be team edward the first time i read through the series and i still felt the same way about the new moon movie being about bella and jacob, not edward.

I think the poster is pretty good. It explains the whole story. I advise people to actually READ New Moon so they can understand the poster concept.

Read the books. I’m all for team edward. So the ending of the book was wayy worth her being with jacob. =)

I really feel she should have been in the middle of them both but guess you probably wouldn’t have been able to see her. I just remember who gets her in the end. Got to remember Jacob is the one who desperately wants her she constantly tries to reel it in but the magnetism is there because of what is to come.

Alright, this is completely ridiculous.
You’re worried about not seeing enough Edward? Well Edward is barely in the book! The movie should be focused on Jacob, considering he does become the main character in it.
I personally hope the movie stays true to the book and barely focuses on Edward.
Love them both, but let’s get real here.

Are you kidding?
I think it’s a bit ridiculous how the studio is emphasizing Rob way over Kristen, when BELLA is the voice of the story. It’s HER story.
Why is Rob front and center (yes, I love him, but come on already).
Plus.. did you notice on the Twilight DVD the menu has just Rob standing alone in the woods. Then they gradually bring Kristen onto the screen. It’s so funny! They are completely switching around who the story is about. I guess because Rob gets all the fan girls. I just think it’s annoying that one of the few movies made with a female lead, from a female point of view, and they’ve switched it to Rob.

Just enjoy it. How about that.

This is so stupid! I agree with you! Why is Bella in Jacob’s arms???
Are they gonna date in New Moon because they didn’t in the book!

i think its perfect. its just an overview of the idea of the movie, jacob trys to replace edward but cannot because bella is so in love with edward. jacob is clearly trying to keep her from edward which is what he is trying to do the whole book, seeing that he despises him so much. and bella is looking out away from jacob like hes not even there. she does find comfort in him in the book. shes only in jacob’s arms cause she cant be in edwards. and edward is so seperate from them, but still there, just how he is forever in bella’s head when he is away. i think its perfect.
also, i agree that bella should be more focused on but edward is the looming and fasinating figure in all the books. bella would put him in the forefront if she had a say.

also, bella is looking at us because we are the ones who relate to us, no one else is.

i meant to say she is the one that relates to us and no one else is loooking at the audience.

Ok im team edward i love the poster! bella isnt in anyones arms she is just standing there touching jacobs arm! dont freak out and plus i think it fits the book just fine considering her and jacob hold hands through the whole book

she’s not really in his arms cuz his arm is down like he’s trying to keep edward back like in the book he trys to get her to forget about him

It’s funny but I didn’t initially see Bella in Jacobs arms – I thought she was leaning on him, which she clearly does in the book. Also, in the book she hates herself for relying on him so much. Jacob doesn’t like Edward and that shows in this poster. I’d like to see more longing or torment in Edward because even though he was the one who decided to leave, he’s suffering.
The poster is okay. Some of the fan posters were stronger. It’s my new wallpaper and I enjoy seeing it. Countdown to 11-20.

I like the poster, it has the essence of the book,just look at Bella’s face it has a discontent look to it, Jacob is standing as a protector while Edward is facing away with his back to Jacob and Bella,Bella is not in Jacobs arms his arms are at his side while Bella is holding on to Jacob for support,also the poster is dark symbolizing the darkness in Bella life.I think it is a good representation of New Moon!

They could have done better…with that said I believe Edward and Jacob will get ample time in the script, even though they wrote much more of Edward in the script, it is still close/true to the book with just alittle creative interpetation. I read what was leaked online and if it is the real deal, we are in for a treat. SPOILER ALERT!! in the script i read, they did show us different points of view not just bellas. Like when edward calls the swan house to find out about bella, we see him in Rio De Jenero, we see his reaction–once again i will copy/paste SPOILER AHEAD .
Suddenly, the shrill RING of the phone makes them both jump. *Jacob, the closest to it, doesn’t move his face, just keeps *looking into her eyes as he reaches for the phone, answers –*
JACOB*
Swan residence.*
She smiles. But he instantly bristles, voice going cold.*
JACOB *
He’s not here. He’s at a funeral…*
Then the phone goes dead –*
INT. TENEMENT APARTMENT – RIO DE JANEIRO – SAME*
– Edward stares at his phone crazed, enraged, grief-*stricken — he HURLS it against the wall, shattering it. *
INT. BELLA’S HOUSE – LIVING ROOM – SAME*
– Jacob hangs up the phone.*
Gives me goose bumps

Well considering the fact that New Moon is focused on Jacob for a good part of it, it’s a great ploy to have him on the poster.

Don’t know why there is this concern about too much Jacob and not enough Edward….hello New Moon is all Jacob and Bella and not Edward that is how it is supposed to be. Now don’t get me wrong if I picked a team it would be team Cullen but New Moon is all about the wolves and Bella. Just get over it and enjoy!

I think she misunderstood what this poster was saying. To me Jacob is shielding bella and Bella is kind of reassuring him and trying to get around him to get to Edward at the same time. It is exactly what happens it the New Moon book, It is brilliant! I think this girl needs to realize that this is the way that new moon was written; Edward hardly had a part in it at all, he left, that is just the way it was, it was a choice that he made. And she may not like Taylor but he earned his place in this movie, he worked very hard not only in the gymn but I think in every aspect for this movie. I wasn’t a very big Taylor fan at first either but I think that he has earned our respect. Don’t get me wrong I really hope we see a lot of edward in this movie too but we have to be realistic, they have all told us ahead of time that this movie is going to be kind of depressing.

I LOVE the poster. Probably because I love Jacob and wish Bella had chosen him all along. New Moon is by far my favorite book. LOVE the poster. Not trying to rile you up, just sharing my opinion that you asked for!

i dont agree at all … it is so new moon and new moon is what it is
i am team edward too but he did leave bella to the wolf so what can we expect…. the poster is lovely and i love it edward looks gorgeous and they have captured the sadness of bella and edward very nicely and also jacob’s rage… very nice

Ok iam Kevin And i go to coronado high school. I understand that ur mad but iam sure that shes going to stay with edward ive never read all the books only a bit of new moon and all of twilight iam a big fan of all the books and i cant wait for the movie!!!!!!!! i like that poster alot so dont say that u hate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

im such a huge jacob fan and i LOVE the new poster!!!!! TEAM JACOB ALL THE WAY!
im not saying i don’t like Edward, but i just like jacob better. =)

I’m Sorry But Taylor Lautner so DESERVES to be JACOB BLACK he earned it and anyway it wouldn’t be the same if they changed any of the actors it just wouldn’t be the same. I’m not a big Edward fan but if they would change him I wouldnt even bother watching noe likes it when movies change the charaters. As for the poster I’m not a big fan but as others has pointed out it kinna tell how the story is Jacob is trying to guide her i a different direction but all bella wants is edward.

I really don’t like this poster although Edward does look adorable. I am all about Edward and I suffered through New Moon until the end. It stinks to see her so close to Jacob in this poster. I am sure they did the poster this way to cause chatter because they know a majority of the fans loooooove Edward.

The poster is amazing and captures new moon to the fullest. I was upset in the choice for Jacob at first but I really believe Taylor is going to pull it off! Also sorry to break this to everyone but it is just a movie and we all know the books are 10x better!!!!!

I think that the poster really shows how Jacob is trying to lead Bella down another road (into the woods) but Bella still only wants Edward.

I respect your opinion, but I do not agree. The movie poster is perfect. Bella looks depressed but she is leaning (not in his arms as in holding, but leaning) on Jacob for support (for being depressed). Jacob looks protective as he should. He had to help Bella through her depression. He is strong and protective and it portrays well in the photo. Edward is great also, you can tell he is sad, but it looks like he is trying to stay strong and stay away from Bella (because that is what he feels is right).
The only thing that I dislike about the photo is Jacobs hair. Where is the wig? He is suppose to have long hair. My only complaint.
Now about the movie. There should be more Jacob then Edward. Edward was barely in the book, so he should barely be in the movie, no matter how many girls are drooling over him. Bella went through the pain without him, and the audience needs to feel that too. If they keep showing Edward, we wont feel the loss and pain Bella is feeling and this book is in her point of view. And her point of view = no Edward. Jacob needs to be in a lot of it because it will show the bond they have. We need to see them connect.
And about the hype this movie is getting. It deserves every hype it is receiving. The books are a great read. They are not the best written or story I have ever read, but it is one of my favorites and I reread the books all the time. I have been a fan of this series for 5 years when only Twilight was out, and i loved it and couldn’t wait for the next books to come out every year. I am so happy for Stephenie Meyer. She deserves it and she shows she is truly thankful for all her fans.
Now for the MTV awards. Sadly I will not be by a TV on the night it comes out, but I will be sure to YouTube it and watch it. I am so excited to get a little taste of what they are creating. These stories have been in my head for so long, that it is such a wonderful feeling seeing it on the big screen even if Twilight wasn’t the best movie I have ever seen. But it had a budget and that is understandable. Now that they have a bigger budget, I hope it will reach to one of the best movies I have seen. Fingers Crossed.

Pocketsize, you are right on. I agree with everything you said. The “Team Edward” “Team Jacob” stuff is pathetic and stupid.
Here is a sugegstion- Love the books, love ALL the characters and let them shine in their own spotlights at the correct time. New Moon is JACOB’S time.
Get over it people. I LOVE the poster. Its a true representation of THE BOOK, not your imagination of what actually happened.

I completely agree. Team Edward or Team Jacob doesn’t matter in the book through and through we all know Jacob had no chance. I’m also worried that the movie will make it more than it is completely going away from the pain and loss Bella felt. The one thing that I loved in New Moon was how well written her heartbreak was and how as a reader you could actually sympathize with her. The poster depicts something that might muddle the true story line.

I think it is important that we make the struggle between Edward and Jacob for Bella happen now so it can more fully develop the hardship of Bella choosing Edward in Eclipse. I do not believe that Edward and Bella’s relationship was developed enough in the first movie, but I think it will be showing up even more throughout the films. Especially Breaking Dawn. By the way I am Team Edward!

I 100% agree with you on everything you said!
New Moon is the only book I liked LESS than all the others because of the Edward absence and the Jacob presence!
And the poster shouldn’t have Bella in Jacob’s arms!
That’s just not right, haha.
Oh well…
I really hope this director does a hell of a better job than Catherine Hardwicke. She’s ridiculously horrible.
The best though, I think, will be the director of Eclipse: David Slade (director of 30 Days of Night – an amaaazing vampire movie for those of you who haven’t seen it!)
I can’t wait to see what he does with Eclipse.
As for New Moon…
I guess we will just have to wait and see, won’t we?

As much as I hate it, the poster is right on. I do not expect to see Edward much in the new movie (sucks) but that is the way it was in the book. I felt Bella’s pain word by word when I read the book and my only hope is that the director can translate that to film.

Like Kimberly, I respect what other people have to say about the poster, but I think everyone’s being altogether too harsh in their criticism. For heaven’s sakes! Are we going to react this way about everything Summit sends out? Every site I’ve been to w/this poster, there has been intense criticism going on. Personally, I think that Edward is absolutely perfect; physically and expression-wise. Secondly, Kristen DOES have a rather blank look, but she looks depressed. Thirdly, Jake is, well, just great.

i love the movie poster. they couldn’t have done better. & to your comments, New Moon is jacob’s book. there should be less edward.

I just think the poster is awesome!
And it’s good that there’s a bit of less Edward it would be kind of boring if it’d be perfect love story and they’d be together all the time don’t you think?
They’re going to end up in eclipse together so what’s wrong w/her dating other people in the meanwhile
Both Jacob and Edward are just great!
^^’

lol edward and jacob are glaring at each other and bella is like “okay pose for the picture now guys” hahaha
just kidding tho this is a good poster for the movie (;
i heard that they were putting more edward in it than the book does. that he was gonna be in like all of bella’s dreams and stuff.
they’re pretty much only doing that cuz half the world is obsessed with robert pattinson hahaha xD

i hate it. it’s like the person who made it didn’t even read the books. she would never be holding onto jacob. it would be a different story, if he was holding on to her. she should be in the middle reaching for edward (since he is all she thinks about during new moon) and jacob should be trying to hold her back. i also hate the paint like look the poster has. some of the fanmade ones are SOOOOOOOOOOOO much better.

I think the poster is O.K. It’s not the best picture I’ve ever seen in my life but who cares its just the poster anyway. However I do think if Kirsten Stewart had been looking more towards Robert Pattinson and made more of a longing expression instead of a blank one the poster would have had more emotional depth to it. But who knows they were probably all photo shopped into the same picture anyway, but shooting all three of them together would have been a better idea. Its kool though I guess.

Well i think the poster is great it shows everything from the book…
first bella looking depressed well she is depressed so y wouldnt they show its…..
second edward leave even though hes doesnt want to, he is longing to be with n to watch over her so him doing that in the poster is well perfect….
and thirdly wat i hear to be the most complaints is jacob hes holding bella because at the time she is left with nothin to her wen edward leaves n jacob “takes her into his arms” and helps her through this time with friendship!!! i think that shows alot n there is nothin wrong with it or jacob hes awsome

I like the poster however, i think it would have been a better choice to put bella between the two of them.

This poster is a really good representation of the New Moon story. It shows how Bella is using Jacob as a support when Edward suddenly exits her life. Jacob’s clenched fist indicates how he is trying to protect Bella from Edward whom he sees as a major threat to her. As for the color of the poster, I think it represents the shade of Bella’s mind perfectly. She is in a really dark place, questioning everything she ever thought was real between her and Edward. And the way she is looking away from Jacob also seems symbolic; she is holding on to Jacob, but is really looking for Edward, or at least her version of him.
Haha! Maybe I am reading too much into this and maybe I am just a cheezy romantic, lol…. but I think it’s a great poster and I am really hoping the movie can live up to the pressure it has been under.

I too am TEAM EDWARD all the way and don’t care for the poster one bit. I do hope the movie lives up to all the hype it’s been getting. I’m not a fan of the actor who plays Jacob, and am pleased he has no chemistry with the actress who plays Bella. Any time taken away from Edward & Bella is 1 second too much. I hope we see lots of Edward in this next movie.

Poster looks good. Matches the book.

i am on team edward too and i like the poster,but it does look like theres more chemistrey going on with bella and jacob. by the looks of this poster,im hoping that this movie will be better than the last since they have a better directer and money from twilight(hopefuly they’ll use it for special effects) and the cast is awesome, although im not a fan of the actress who plays bella. i think in twilight she was very stiff, had no emotion, and didn’t change her expression at all in the movie.im hopeing that she better in new moon.

I am very much TEAM EDWARD but i like the poster, the whole of new moon book is about how Bella and Jacob form a bond when edward is not there. i would love to see Robert Pattinson in the film more however i would also like the film to try and stay true to the book. i think that all of the actors play their parts great. i think that taylor will bring a new side to jacob in this film. i myself can not wait.

the poster looks really good but i think that bella should be in edwards arms and it looks like jacob is trying to protect her from edward i think its the other way around edward protects bella from jacob

I am also Team Edward, but like the poster. Bella isn’t actually in Jacob’s arms, she is behind him and touching him like she needs him for support. And that is exactly what happens in the book…she leans on Jacob to help her get over Edward. And I don;t think she should be in Edward’s arms because Edward is not there for her. As much as she would rather be in his arms she can’t, and it doesn’t make sense for them to make the movie poster with her in his arms. But that’s just my opinion

Okay enough! Look CAREFULLY, Jacob is holding Bella BACK, and she is trying to him BACK. This symbolizes the futile struggle Jacob poses against Edwards pull for Bella and Bella’s pull for Jacob.

wow. This really isnt what id expected. I mean the story is about jacob and bella’s growing friendship, so why is edward even in the picture? And most of all, why is he in the front? Why cant he just like hang on a tree in the background or something?

OMG! iluv this poster. i am TOTALLY a team edward girl but the poster totally fits what goes on in the book(not tellin what) i hate what happend but u hav to admit, it gives the story a good twist. even in the last book, new moon has an effect.

I understand what you mean. But I sort of see Jacob protecting Bella, not really holding her, I think she’s leaning into him, because he saved her from herself. Edward left dear, all she had was jake, I think the movie will try and show that. Edward all the way though!!

Obviously I am a huge fan of Jacob. I thought this poster did a great job in foreshadowing what the book/movie had to offer. Jacob looks AMAZING in this poster…and personally I would prefer the poster to just be a big picture of him and leave out the other two…
I am hoping the movie does the book justice. I know some people were upset because they thought there wouldn’t be enough Edward in the movie since 3/4 of the book he is just a figment of her imagination, and I am worried that the movie studios are going to change the story too much to appease these people.
Stick to the books, they are golden!
Plus, Taylor Lautner stepped up his game to earn the part of Jacob for this movie, so everyone just relax and just enjoy the abs, the smile and of course, how much he loves Bella.
Can’t wait to see the movie!
p.s. Does anyone have any thoughts about the soundtrack??

I dont think Bella’s in Jacob’s arms in that way, its more like she’s pulling him away from Edward in the way that kids do. you know, 2come on lets go play somewhere else” etc
I think its deliberately like that to mislead the viewers, which is actually pretty futile since most of us have read the book. movie looks unreal, cant wait the May 31st!!!

Honestly, reading New Moon was totrture, since I’m a big Edward+Bella fan. I believe the story is about THEM, and I don’t like Jacob AT ALL and don’t believe whatsoever that he should be made a main attraction in the movie. Edward FTW

I am super pleased tho with Jacobs makeover for New Moon.

ive already posted on this once but imma do it again. i absolutely love the new moon poster. it really shows whats up with bella. shes got two really great guys she has to choose between. i think the poster shows jacob tryna protect her from somethin thats hurt her before. i think this poster is better than the first. and we all know that taylor lautner is gorgeous of course. i wanna marry him(: lol. but yeah i think this poster is awesome i hope that they continue with the awesomeness of the posters.

I am really excited to see the preview on May 31st too! As for the poster, I really like it! There’s no need to worry about Edward…Bella has just found a really crucial friendship in Jacob…I guess you must have read the books, if not you HAVE to! They are so great and then you can decide if you should worry or not!Cheers

New Moon is very much about Bella getting over Edwards departure, and her growing friendship/almost romance with Jacob. Making a movie focusing on a character who was there for maybe 5 chapters through the whole book would be stupid because it wouldn’t convey the tone of the book at all.

The symbolism in this poster is very easy to decipher. In the novel, Bella clings onto Jacob for life. Literally. She was only healthy when she was around him. He became a huge part of her life. And yes, we all hate Jacob because he confused Bella with whom she truly loved, but of course she love-loves Edward. She only loves Jacob because he had been there for her when she was lost. Hence, I believe this movie poster is absolutely perfect.

i think the posters great. new moon is mainly about bella and jacob and the poster shows that. i mean edward is not so much in the second book as jacob. An plus im a total jacob fan cant wait to see his sexy bodii lol.

I absolutely HATE! this poster, it makes me feel upset
I mean Edward looks absolutely devastated!
They should have made a different poster for the movie, this one is too much for people on TEAM EDWARD!
I swear I was about to cry when I first saw the poster, I was like NOOOOOO!!

Well of course theres gonna be alot of Jacob Black new moon is mostly about him and her… theres should only be a little bit of Edward like in the book… And personaly i love the poster came out great

Jessica, this whole saga is about edward and bella but if you even read the books you would know that they belong together. Sorry for kim (go to youtube and search “you could be happy” and click on the one of bella and edward. A real tear filler movie scene.

oh come on! i think hey’re BOTH amazing in the books! i don’t exactly luvvv Rpattz as Edward in the movie but Taylor….ahh….they nailed it as Jacob for the moive. but edward is allll wrong. wait! breathe. calm yourself. he’s just an actor. an actor i think is completely creepy and not wat i was hoping for. but watever. i can deal. and so can you with Jacob holding bella. and i dont see it as too much jacob. i see it as conflict. cant u seeee the way they’re looking at eachother??! jeeez. woah. talk about hatred. its more like a fight over a woman kinda thing. and yeah. belaa is in jacob’s arms becuzzz edward was being dumb and RAN AWAY. so understand sweetie. ur precious edward is doing it all. i rellleee hope the movie will be as awsome as the poster loooks.
