“Twilight” film moved to earlier release date
Post-Dispatch Book Editor
The movie version of “Twilight” has gotten moved up. It will now be released on Nov. 21. (It had been scheduled for Dec. 12.)
“Twilight,” along with a CGI-animation feature by Disney called “Bolt,” will now get the Nov. 12 date. They benefit from an earlier release because the film “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” which had been scheduled for that date, is being pushed back to July.
The “Twilight” film will no doubt help boost Christmas sales of the paranormal romance, along with any new “Twilight” tie-in books Meyer has coming out in the fall.
Yes, twilight will boost sales of some holiday items, but retailers are already up in arms over losses due to the delay of HP. Most large retailers have already spent millions upon millions in popular hp merchandise of which will now have to be stored until the release. WB’s arbitrary decision was ridiculous and effects not only HP fans but retailers who were hoping for a boost from the November release. Sign the HP petition that has over 30,000 signatures in three days and then go to http://pottersorder.blogspot.com and send WB executives a message through their email initiative.
OMG thanked god that the movie has been move to nov. 21 because I can not the wait untill i can see the movie. The books are really the best book i’ve ever read.

And soon to be coming along Midnight sun. ITs AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I AM A TWILIGHT LOVER
Well I’m pissed that I have to wait for Harry Potter to come out next summer. I would have waited 3 weeks to see Twilight, but to be optimistic I’m glad I dont have to wait as long now. And I don’t know what to expect with the Twilight movie because I have nothing to base it on, and with Harry Potter Im sure the movie will be great because they do a good job in capturing the book. I can only hope that they do the same with Twilight, or I will have to somehow find a way ro raise money and remake it myself. And I’m sure others feel the same way.
