An essential, behind-the-scenes look at how the DIRECTOR envisioned and shot TWILIGHT.

A pocket-sized (5.25 x 8.25 inch) hardback book, in full color, with hundreds of photographs and illustrations (including storyboards), this book delivers exactly what it promises: a "Director's Notebook" that tells "the story of how we made the movie." Hardwicke's journey on this film, as she has made clear in numerous interviews, was an adventure: shooting on location under weather conditions that included driving rain, sleet, numbing cold, or various combinations thereof, hardy Hardwicke persevered to deliver a film that far exceeded box office and studio expectations.

This book is a behind-the-scenes look at how Hardwicke envisioned the movie from start to finish: a rare glimpse at a film maker's diary, complete with Hardwicke's own sketches (she was an architect before she became a film director), handwritten notes, candid photos from the movie, conceptual artwork, storyboards (black-and-white drawings that frame a shot for the camera), and film stills.

The result is an intimate book, one in which Hardwicke's infectious enthusiasm makes you appreciate just how difficult it is to produce a movie--much less one shot on location under such challenging (an understatement) conditions.

Fans who want a nuts-and-bolts "Making of" will certainly want to buy the authorized film book, TWILIGHT: THE COMPLETE ILLUSTRATED MOVIE COMPANION. (It's excellent, thorough, and at 8.5 x 11 inches, shows off the full color photos very well.) But this little gem belongs right next to it on the bookshelf.

PS: It should be noted that Hardwicke chose not to helm NEW MOON because she felt the budget was inadequate and there wasn't sufficient time allowed to shoot what is obviously a more demanding (film-wise) movie than TWILIGHT. More's the pity. Chris Weitz is certainly up to the challenge, but I really felt Hardwicke's sensibilities made her the ideal choice to for all four Twilight films.

We don't have Hardwicke on NEW MOON, but we do have this little gem of a book, which is really her extended love letter to the TWILIGHT movie, to Stephenie Meyer, and the small army of people that were mobilized to bring it to the screen.

Interesting, but same as the DVD extra documentary

This was a pretty cool book that had some interesting information about how the novel was turned into a movie. It answered a lot of questions about the creative choices that they made while making the movie. However, I felt cheated to spend money on this when there was nothing in the book that isn't already in the extra documentary that's on the Twilight DVD's extra features. It had a few extra drawings and sketches, etc. but overall there wasn't much information in it that wasn't in the documentary. For that reason, I'd say that if you've seen the documentary, there isn't much of a point to buy this book unless (like me) you are a die-hard Twilight fan who simply must own everything Twilight :)

I have never read a book in two days until now!

I am over 30, work full time and am the mother of 2 young children. The only books I read is "If you Give a Mouse a Cookie" etc. My husband bought me Twilight and I laughed at him when I saw how may pages were in the book. I don't have time alone to read the mail much less a large book. I started in and never put it down. I became obsessed and in love with all the characters. I could not sleep at night because I wanted to read it so badly, I am sure I have black circled eyes like Bella. I have never experienced this much passion about a book. I told my husband that I felt like a teenager obsessed about a boyfriend or something silly. As soon as I finished Twilight, I bought the second one and read over 100 pages when I meant to only read the introduction. I never want it to end! A writer that could produce this result is simply amazing.

Very Interesting

I did not like the movie of Twilight very much, but I loved this book. This is Catherine Hardwicke's journal of how she made the movie. It tells you about the special effects in the movie, how they designed the costumes, and more. I loved this book.

Book title and author: Twilight by Stephenie Myers Title of review: Number of stars (1 to 5): 4

A teenaged girl, named Bella, moves to Forts Washington to live with her dad. On her first day of school she meets a mysteriously peculiar boy in her science class. He's different from most kids, but in an odd way.

The boy is always on the edge of his seat. He and his brothers and sisters never associate or eat with other people. Their appearances are god like, and their voices are like wind chimes. Bella sees something in him, although they hardly ever talk outside of their science class. But when they do start talking more, Bella knows he is different some how.

This book will keep you on the edge of your seat, and make you want to keep the pages turning.

I would recommend this story to both boys and girls alike. Due to some vocabulary grades 7 and above would enjoy reading this book.

An interesting book.

I thought that it was interesting to see how things were done and how they intended on doing things. I really enjoyed it. I wish that she elaborated more on certain things, but other then that It was worth reading if youre a fan of the Twilight movie.

Twilight

I have loved the Twilight series, and I am sure that this book, describing Catherine Hardwicke's work put into the movie, will be a greatly satisfying read. I can't wait until it is officially published, so that I may read it myself!

Fair Warning....

I love this book; I read it in like a day, and it's perfect for people who want to know more about how a movie gets made- all of the aspects and hard work that goes into making a film but I must tell you that it is a tiny book. It could fit into a lunch box. I was not entirely pleased with that, but its just a small problem for me (no pun intended) It's an interesting read!
