5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing and very interesting, October 16, 2008

Reader of myth and faerie - See all my reviews

This review is from: Twilight: The Complete Illustrated Movie Companion (Paperback)

This book is really fantastic. There are great shots from the production of the film along with still shots from the film itself. What truly makes this book are the stories from people behind the scenes. Ever wondered how they found their locations, why costumes were chosen, how things progressed? This book covers all aspects of the making of the film with great commentary from the people who were involved. The photos just enhance everything - especially the final shot of Bella and Edward as he decides he "just wants to try something" - i.e. the kiss!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book For any Twilight Fan to add to Collection, October 17, 2008

This review is from: Twilight: The Complete Illustrated Movie Companion (Paperback)

This is an amazing book and completly worth the price. Anyone who is a Twilight fan and cannot wait for the movie's release date will really enjoy this book. Many images are never before seen pictures from the movie. I was truly blown away by the amount and quailty of the images. There are great pictures of stills of the movie and production shots, especially a number of great shots of Edward and Bella, along with the rest of the Cullen family. I truly was able to grasp a better sense of the movie and how the filmmaker's created the world of Twilight. Many scenes of the film are shown throughout the book that I was very happy to see in the Twilight movie that I had not seen before in any trailers or previous movie stills. The book also contains many interesting details about how decisions were made along the filmmaking process from the director, set designer, stunt coordinator, and hair and make-up artists. Details are included you won't find anywhere else, right down to the progression of each character's distinct appearance through the film and how they got Edward to sparkle.
