I’m not worried, the movie is always going to be different from the book, thats just how it is.

I’m having faith that they will adapt the book in some ways but still keep the incredible emotion of the book the same. I think it will be hard to see the changes since we all have read the books several times and love them just as they are but we’ll need to go in with an open mind. I agree with the other comments about Port Angeles. That scene is perfect. Perhaps what Rachelle is speaking of is when Edward truly exposes his vampire abilities to Bella. In Port Angeles he just verbally tells her who he is. Maybe we’re looking to far into their comments. ?

When I think of treetops, I automatically think of Inuyasha, an anime where the main character can run really fast on treetops and carries a girl on his back. *lol*

Er… what treetops scenes in the books? There’s a couple of them? Are they like in the author’s cut of it?

I get that the movie needs to be more visually exciting and really all this drama about the tree top scene is ridiculous… but… there’s no tree top scene in the book. Edward breaks a branch off a tree, Jake and Bella sit under a tree… oh! Jake climbs up the tree outside Bella’s window, but I was always under the impression that Edward just scaled the house all Spiderman like.

I’m not sooooo worried. but I’m kinda anxious and practically screaming “are you changing it or not?”
but its okay.
my favorite part is how Bella figures out he’s a vampire. so as long as they have the Port Angeles conversation or something, I won’t mind.
the first time they mentioned the treetops, I thought she meant in the meadow. that would make more sense, you know, when Edward is demonstrating his abilities and all…

like Lucy, “when I go to see movies based on books I always try to go in with a this-will-be-absolutely-rubbish-compared-to-the-book attitude”
for Twilight I am trying to keep an open mind =]

I don’t think they’ll take out the Port Angeles Scenes, that entire conversation is such an important part of the book.

It’s not like Bella just goes to Port Angeles with Jessica and goes back to school on Monday and is like, “Hey Edward, you act like a jerk sometimes, but its ok, because your a vampire. Lets go run in some trees.”

So even if they do take parts of Port Angeles out they’ll keep at least some elements of it. And if not…meh.

When I go to see movies based on books I always try to go in with a this-will-be-absolutely-rubbish-compared-to-the-book attitude. That way, running over treetops doesn’t really affect me. Except I think they’ve done well so far, with casting and everything.

I don’t want the Port Angeles stuff taken out. It’s one of the best things ever xD I love it.

I believe the Tree Tops are more like, him demonstrating… rather then just him telling her.

Well, i’m not freaking out so don’t get on my case. But my favorite part in the whole dang book was the
Port Angeles scene and if they take that out I will be upset…thats when he tells her he’s the dang vampire not
in no tree top…
