New Moon (marketed as The Twilight Saga: New Moon) is a 2009 American romantic fantasy film. It is based on the novel of the same name by Stephenie Meyer and is the sequel to 2008’s Twilight. Directed by Chris Weitz, the film stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner, reprising their roles as Bella Swan, Edward Cullen, and Jacob Black, respectively. The film begins with Bella on her 18th birthday; Edward with his not so impressive introduction into the scene brings Bella to his family house for a birthday party they had planned for her. All goes wrong when Bella gets a paper cut and Edwards’s brother Jasper goes crazy and tries to kill her. In the end Edward comes to realize that he and his family are to dangerous for Bella to be around and pretty much dumps her.
