What kind of film is it?

Who made it?

SYNOPSIS.

New Moon is the second out of four books, that have recently been turned into film. So the storyline in this second film obviously links to the first. In Twilight, the first film, a girl falls in love with a friendly vampire. In the second film, a year later Edward the vampire realises there relationship is harder than he thought, so he and his family leave town leaving Bella crushed.

She begins spending time with her best friend Jacob, to fill the time until she finds out he is a werewolf. (Explaining why Jacob and Edward used to hate each other.) Then Bella gets a surprise visit from Edward's sister saying that Edward has gone to the leader of all vampires to commit suicide because he doesn't want to live without Bella. They both rush to stop him reavling himself to the humans (the only way he can get killed, by disobeying secret orders) They save him, and all return home and Edward and Bella resume their relationship much to Jacob's annoyance. Jacob makes her choose, and she chooses Edward. This then is ready to continue onto the third film that is in the making.
