I'm going to update something important tomorrow. Not a good thing though.

Tales of Beedle the Bard & New Moon movie

The tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K Rowling is out! And, I'm going to get it, after the mid-semester tests. It's quite cheap at Popular.

At first, I'm not very enthusiastic about the book. It's afterall not Harry Potter books. But now that it's out, I want to read the wizard tales, comparable to us, muggles' fairy tales. The titles already makes me laugh.

Another note, I'm a little worried for the NM movie. Filming has not started but it seems that Summit Entertainment wanted to "do more with less". Please, no. Many times, less is not more.

They feel that Twilight movie, with a low budget did pretty well, and thus, want to continue using this technique. (I did not read the report whatsoever, I got this news from twilightlexiconblog's message board, so if there's misinformation here ...)

I can't judge Twilight the movie yet, but I really hope that NM movie will be better with a higher budget and better special effects. NM will definitely need a much higher budget than Twilight because of the different countries (Italy) they will be going for shooting. NM will also need a lot more special effects than Twilight. Werewolves (shapeshifters) is one big issue, and the Volturi too. A lot of new vampires and members from Quileute tribe will be needed.

New Moon movie must be longer, bigger, better. Longer than 2 hours, bigger with the sets and props, better in its plot: sticking as closely as possible to the plot in the book.

With no delay, NM should be on screen in 2010.
