What was left out of 'New Moon' & maybe 'Eclipse'?

The TW-abulous Melissa Rosenberg.She talks about some of the flashbacks in Eclipse and how not all of them will make it into the final cut. Speaking of, I am so bummed (unless it shows up on the DVD) that the quote Edward speaks when you enter the Cullen House on NewMoontheMovie.com wasn't in the final cut of New Moon.
In case you don't visit the site every frickin' day like me, the quote is: "Every second that I'm with you is about restraint. And you're too fragile." Also, the dream sequence with two Bella's on her bed that was featured in the
NM Illustrated Companion was edited out of NM. I'll be livid if they aren't included in the deleted scenes on the DVD.



Chris Weitz told MTV what we can expect on the
New Moon DVD, and why our favorite shiny silver Volvo was black. (Rookie mistake, Chris.)

"There will be a commentary track," Weitz revealed, saying that he'll soon head into the recording booth with his three big stars, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner. "It'll just be us riffing off each other in our intimate way," he grinned. "We kind of like each other, so that should be fun."

In addition, fans can look forward to picking up a copy of "Twilight in Forks," the independently made documentary that teased fans with brief glimpses of its exploration into the real-life town that inspired Stephenie Meyer, only to be snatched up by Summit in September. An insider told MTV recently that the film will not be re-edited but will hit DVD alongside "New Moon" with all-new packaging and artwork.

Judging by the insatiable appetite of Twilighters, they'll be filling DVD stores in the first quarter of 2010, eager to glimpse the deleted scenes Weitz plans to unveil for the first time.

"There will be probably about 20 minutes of deleted material," he explained, promising some meaty footage. "It really is good stuff and a bonus for the fans."

Among this bonus footage could be several moments MTV knows was shot but did not make the final "New Moon" cut, including:

» A scene with Rachelle Lefevre as Victoria driving to Forks in a car, snacking on a dead human. It was one of the final moments the actress filmed as the nomadic vampire.

» A scene with the human characters eating Burger King.

» Another scene with the humans, this time with Justin Chon and Michael Welch expressing jealousy over Edward's car.

» More scenes with the Volturi in Italy.

» An extended cut of the scene where Mike Newton quotes Shakespeare to Bella in the Forks High parking lot; in it, he does a Marlon Brando impersonation.

» Scenes alluding to the ongoing breakup between Newton and Anna Kendrick's Jessica.

"When I made the film, I wanted it to arrive at a certain kind of flow and cadence," Weitz said of why he had to leave so many scenes on the cutting-room floor but hopes to restore many for the DVD. "[They would have affected] how the movie worked, and they didn't completely fit. But there'll be some groovy stuff in [the DVD]."

Here's the Volvo fiasco explaination. I don't know if it was intentional, but I also noticed that every car in the FHS parking lot in
NM was silver except a Jeep the humans are standing by and Bella's & Edward's cars.

“I’ve taken a real spanking for this, a lot of heat,” the director explained. “I’ll tell you exactly why: Volvo wanted to give us a new, different car so I didn’t want to paint it exactly the same silver color, because then [Twilighters] would be saying, ‘Why are they trying to say that it’s the same car; it’s obviously not.’ So, I thought, ‘Well, I’ll choose a new color!’ And I thought I would choose slate black, not a reflective black, because it actually absorbs light and it would reflect the mood and melancholy and depression [of his character]. I know I got it wrong, I apologize for that. But that is my reasoning.”

Who else is still peeved about Edward's Volvo?
