SEQ . EXT. Shot of Forks mountains and forest to suggest passage of time.

SEQ . EXT. Forest. Shot of running of what appears to be human legs, closely

“

”

followed by the four-legged kind. More join the hunt until there are at least 5
wolves.

SEQ . EXT. La Push beach. The human legs run into the water. Wolf Jacob follows

“

”

then halts abruptly, turns back, acknowledges the Alpha, and stands at his
side. The whole pack stares out to the open sea where the silhouette of a strong
swimmer is visible. The pack howls a warning for the intruder.

SEQ . EXT. Open sea. Edward Cullen is driving a powerful motorboat and
approaching the harbor.

SEQ . INT. Bella’s Bedroom. Bella lies catatonic on her bed, hugging her torso,
staring at nothing. Charlie and Dr. Gerandy talk in hushed whispers just
outside her door.

CHARLIE
What’s wrong with her, doc? It’s been a week since Jacob Black found her in the
forest. She doesn’t want to eat or sleep. I’m going crazy here. I don’t know what
to do. Do we need to hospitalize her?

DR. GERANDY
There’s nothing physically wrong with her. I think what she needs more is
someone to talk to.

SEQ . INT. Bella’s Bedroom. Bella is talking to Renee on the mobile phone.

BELLA
I’m fine, Mom.

RENEE
Are you eating? Sleeping well?

BELLA
Yes, mom.

RENEE
I really miss you.

BELLA
Miss you too.

RENEE
How about coming over to Jacksonville, sweetheart?

BELLA
Sure, mom.

RENEE
Well, actually, I didn’t mean just for a vacation. Charlie and I have been
talking. We thought it would be best if you moved back in with me. Phil’s really
excited to see you.

BELLA
What?!! How dare you make a decision about my life? I’m eighteen, and I can
choose what to do! It’s my life! You have no right! I want to stay here in Forks.

Bella cuts off the connection. Charlie knocks on the door. Bella flings it open.

Do you want me out of this house? Why didn’t you say anything? Just give me a
little time to look for a place, and –

CHARLIE
Bells, Bells You’ve got it all wrong. Of course, I want you to stay here. I was

…

just worried that I can’t seem to help you. I just thought your mother can take
better good care of you at this time.

BELLA
I’m sorry, Dad. I know I’m being a pain right now.

Charlie awkwardly hugs Bella.

CHARLIE
I wish I can make the pain go away. It’s going to be okay, baby. You’ll be okay.

SEQ . INT. Biology Classroom. Bella automatically goes to the same table that she
and Edward used to occupy. She pauses then deliberately sits somewhere else.

ERIC
Hey, Bella. That’s my spot.

Bella doesn’t move.

ERIC
It’s cool. I’ll just go and tell Mr. Molina we’re trading places. It’s okay.
You’re still my home girl.

SEQ . EXT. School Hallway. Bell rings. Bella is the first out of the classroom as
the hallway fills with students.

SEQ . EXT. School Parking Lot. Bella hurriedly boards her truck. Mike and Angela
break away from the group and try to run after her.

ANGELA
Bella!

MIKE
Bells! Wait up!

Jessica jealously pulls Mike back.

JESSICA

What are you doing? You’re making a spectacle of yourself.

Bella ignores them and drives away. Angela stares after her truck.

SEQ a. INT. Bella’s truck. She suddenly spies the new radio / CD player. She pulls
over, and tries to remove it. In her attempts, she accidentally presses the play
button. Edward’s lullaby fills the truck, which makes her even more frantic to
rip out the radio / CD player.

EDWARD
(seated on passenger side) Bella, stop it. You’ll hurt yourself.

Bella pauses, and then continues trying to pull it before finally succeeding.

EDWARD
Love, your hands. You’re bleeding.

Bella reaches towards the passenger side.

EDWARD
No, Bella!

SEQ b. EXT Bella is alone in the truck, crying with her arms wrapped around her
torso.

SEQ . EXT. Forest. Dream Sequence. Bella is running after Edward until the
darkness engulfs her.

SEQ . INT. Bella’s Bedroom. Bella wakes up screaming. Charlie knocks and talks to
her through thee door

CHARLIE
Bells, you okay, honey?

Bella opens the door.

BELLA
Sorry, dad. It was just a nightmare.

CHARLIE
The same one?

BELLA
Yeah.

CHARLIE
Bella. When your mom and I divorced, I went to uhm, you know. A shrink.

–

BELLA
(reluctantly) I’ll check out the school’s guidance counselor tomorrow after my
last class.

SEQ . INT. English classroom.

MR. BERTY
Even better than seeing Shakespeare being performed is performing it
yourselves.

JESSICA
You mean the guys have to wear tights?!? Oohhh Nice.

…

The whole class laughs and jeers. The boys tease and taunt each other.

MR. BERTY
(shakes his head) No need. We can make a modern version of Romeo and Juliet with
everybody in jeans and shirts. We’ll study it in class first.

SEQ . EXT. School grounds. Baseball class.

COACH
Bella, don’t hit the ball, okay? Bella, did you hear me?

Bella nods.

COACH
(to the pitcher) Let’s just go for a walk. (under his breath) For safety’s sake.

Bella stands still as the ball passes her. Bella has a flashback of Edward and
she driving to the baseball field, Edward fixing the cap on her hair, laughing,
etc. During the fourth pitch, she remembers James and his hunt. She
accidentally drops the bat on the catcher’s head.

MIKE
OW!

BELLA
I’m sorry.

MIKE
It’s okay. I’m okay!

SEQ . INT. Guidance Counselor’s Office.

COUNSELOR
So, Bella, how did your day go? Is there anything you wanted to talk about?

BELLA
Is it normal to have, uhm, hallucinations? I think there’s something wrong with
my brain.

COUNSELOR
Well, it’s very normal to daydream. What do you mean by hallucinations? Would
you like to tell me what you saw?

Bella remains silent.

COUNSELOR
That’s alright, dear. When you’re ready.

SEQ a. EXT. Forest campsite.

HANNAH
Matt, are you sure you cleaned the pans? If a bear smells them…

MATT
Yeah, yeah. Hannah, it’s not exactly my first time, you know.

HANNAH
Sorry, there has just been a lot of talk lately about giant grizzly sightings.
It’s making me jumpy.

MATT

(teases) And, just like it says in the Top 10 Things to Do to Avoid Bear

‘

Attacks,’ I will now go 200 yards away from the campsite to hang the food and
pans on a tree.

HANNAH
I’ll go with you.

MATT
Don’t be silly. I’ll be back in a sec.

HANNAH
Hurry back, okay?

MATT
(soothingly) I’ll whistle so you’ll know where I am.

SEQ b. EXT. Forest. An indeterminate shadow is stalking Matt. The shadow attacks.
The whistling abruptly stops.

SEQ c. EXT. Forest campsite.

HANNAH
Matt? Matt? That’s not funny!

Hannah hears rustling and assumes it’s Matt coming back.

HANNAH
I hate you. Don’t do that e

—

Hannah screams as she is attacked as well.

SEQ . INT. Bella’s Bedroom. Bella wakes up screaming. Charlie knocks.

BELLA
I’m okay, dad.

CHARLIE
(through the door) You sure?

BELLA
(sharply) I said I’m okay! Sorry, dad.

SEQ . EXT. Forest in autumn. Leaves falling from the trees to indicate change of
season.

SEQ . EXT. Forest. Wolf Jacob is in pursuit of a vampire. A babble of wolf voices
can be heard.

WOLF PAUL
Get that bloodsucker!

WOLF SETH
Careful, Jake!

WOLF LEAH
We’re right behind you.

WOLF SAM
Close in fast and corner him.

SEQ . EXT. Swan house’s street. Children are running about in Halloween

costumes.

SEQ . INT. Swan house hallway. Doorbell chimes. Charlie is in the living room
watching TV.

CHARLIE
(from the living room) Where’s the candy bowl?

Bella goes down the stairs towards the front door.

BELLA
I’ll do it, Dad.

Bella steels herself and opens the door and sees the three children dressed
as a vampire, princess and werewolf.

KIDS (VAMPIRE, PRINCESS & WEREWOLF)
Trick or treat!

Bella is visibly shaken at the sight of the child vampire. She hurriedly
gives them candy.

BELLA
Here you go.

KIDS
Thank you!

SEQ b. INT. Swan House Living Room. Charlie hears the sound of breaking
glass.

CHARLIE
Bells?

SEQ c. INT. Swan House Hallway. Charlie sees the broken glass bowl with
candies strewn all over the floor. Running feet going up the stairs and then
a slammed door are heard.

SEQ . EXT. Forest. Shot of wolf legs phasing into human ones. Agitated

“

”

whispers are heard from everyone as they get dressed.

PAUL
We lost the damned bloodsucker!

The pack becomes silent as soon as the Alpha speaks.

SAM
Jake, where did you smell this new vampire trail?

JACOB
He’s from the north. It’s not the same female we chased into the sea a couple
of months ago.

SETH
Do you think this new one is the female’s mate?

LEAH
If we kill either one of them, the remaining leech will come back for
revenge for sure.

JACOB

If those bloodsuckers think that they can just go into our territory,
they’re dead wrong. We’ll teach them not to mess with us or they’ll end up in
pieces in a blazing bonfire!

PAUL
Let them come! More fun for us!

SAM
Brothers and sister, remember to follow our rules. Make sure it’s not one of
the Cullens. We must uphold the treaty.

A chorus of protesting growls are emitted by the pack members.

SAM
I am the Alpha! You will obey!

The pack acquiesce reluctantly.

SEQ . INT. Cullens dining room.

CARLISLE
Alice has seen the possibility of Edward going to the Volturi…

ESME
No!

Esme starts to moan incessantly. Alice tries to comfort her.

ALICE
Esme, it’s not certain yet. It’s just one of the many possibilities of the
future. But, I do know what will cause it. Whether it’s going to happen when
she’s 18 or 85, it doesn’t matter. There can only be one reason behind it —
Bella’s death.

ROSALIE
(suspiciously) Why isn’t Emmett here?

CARLISLE
He’s out hunting at my request. I’m sorry, Rosalie, but I’ve asked Emmett to
help Edward track Victoria down. I’m hoping that the search will go faster
with Emmett assisting Edward. When that is accomplished, I’m also hoping
that Edward will come home with Emmett so that we can watch over him.

ESME
Yes! Carlisle, please bring him home.

ROSALIE
That isn’t all, is it?

CARLISLE
Please understand, Rosalie. Emmett is the only one who might be strong
enough to stop Edward if he suddenly decides to act foolishly, such as
provoking the Volturi. I told him to follow Edward to South America.
(warningly) And nothing else.

Rosalie goes into an attack crouching position in front of Carlisle. Jasper
goes into an offensive position as well. Carlisle holds up a hand to
restrain Jasper. Esme watches, horrified at the scene, while Alice is in
the middle of a vision to view the possible outcomes of the confrontation.

ROSALIE
You don’t want Edward to know that you intend to stop him if he decides to
commit suicide by breaking the rules of the Volturi? Don’t you care about
Emmett? He’ll be executed by the Volturi as an accomplice, even if he
doesn’t help Edward with this idiocy.

CARLISLE
It will not come to that. We can prevent it. Let me be very clear I will NOT

—

lose any of my sons! Even if it means biting Bella myself and turning her
into a vampire despite Edward’s wishes!

Emmett arrives from his hunt and is oblivious to what has just transpired.

EMMETT
I’m now swimming in blood, ready to be around thirst quenching senoritas y
senoritos. (laughs) That bear was no match for me.

Rosalie rushes to Emmett, crashes him against the wall, which breaks apart,
all the while kissing him fiercely.

EMMETT
Wow! What brought that on? I’m not complaining, baby.

Emmett sees everyone’s strained expressions and mistakenly thinks it’s
about his trip.

EMMETT
I didn’t realize you guys would miss me so much. Maybe I should go away more
often.

SEQ . INT. School Canteen. Bella gets a soda and sees a group in the Cullens’
usual table. She gasps, having a flashback of the Cullens, until a movement
of the group reveals it’s not them. Angela breaks away from the group and
sits with her on a vacant table.

ANGELA
Bella, the guys are thinking of caroling during Christmas for extra pocket
money. Would you like to join us?

BELLA
I don’t sing.

ANGELA
Well, actually, none of the guys can really sing. That’s why we pulled in
Tori. (refers to a girl with the group) That’s the blonde girl with the
short hair. She’s the only one who can really carry a tune and she’s
teaching the rest of us. She used to be part of their church choir or
something. She just transferred here.

The rest of the group comes nearer.

ERIC
C’mon, Bells, we haven’t seen you in ages.

MARK
We miss you.

JESSICA
(peevishly) Yeah, we miss you. And, Tyler here sorta feels left out with…

You know. Because I’m with Mark, and Angela’s with Eric, and Tyler is…

TYLER
Hey Bells, it’s cool. Just hang out with us. We’ll have a great time. We’ll
sing jingle bells.

Tyler sings with gusto and gains the canteen school crowd’s attention.
Bella just shakes her head and moves to an isolated spot in the canteen.

ERIC
(to Jessica) Don’t you think that was a bit insensitive?

JESSICA
What did I say?

MIKE
You know she’s trying to get over Edward.

JESSICA
Well, I’m sorry for trying to set her up with Tyler.

TYLER
Thanks. I think.

ANGELA
Guys, it’s alright. At least we invited her.

SEQ . EXT Forks snow capped mountains to indicate the change from autumn to
winter season.

SEQ . EXT Resort near Forks. A honeymoon couple is alone on a well-trodden
path. The wife slips on the snow and her husband hurriedly catches her.

HUSBAND
Ooops! Careful!

WIFE
(teases) That was just an excuse for a hug.

The husband smiles then kisses her.

HUSBAND
Maybe we should go back to our room..

They kiss again. The husband is suddenly pulled away. The wife screams as
she sees her husband being attacked.

SEQ . EXT. Swan yard.

CHARLIE
There’s been another attack. Whatever it is, it’s getting bolder. The
attack was near a resort. A couple on their honeymoon.

BELLA
(thinking of Victoria) Is it the same vamp person as before? They never

–

caught whoever it was, right?

CHARLIE
The earlier murders are still open cases. The problem now is we can’t
identify the prints. There’s human footprints, but there are animal

imprints too that are way bigger than a bear. I’ve never seen anything like
it before. It doesn’t match anything we have on file. I’m not sure if it’s a
person or animals that attacked the campers and this couple.

Bells, when you go to town today for your errands, please stay on the
highway and don’t stop or go near the woods for any reason. You still have
that pepper spray?

BELLA
Yeah, dad.

SEQ . EXT. Forks Street. Christmas decorations are everywhere. Bella exits
the photo shop with a package and a grocery bag. She notices two groups of
males in the midst of an argument. Sam Uley puts a hand on Paul’s chest and
seems to be stopping Paul from attacking. When the two groups move away from
each other, Jacob breaks away from the pack to join Bella. The pack notices
and looks on disapprovingly.

JACOB
Hey Bella. How you doin?

‘

BELLA
Fine. (discreetly refers to pack) Is there a problem, Jake? We can call my
dad.

JACOB
Nah, everything’s cool. Sam’s on top of it. Besides, Paul has always been
too much of a hothead.

BELLA
Right. (refers to wolf necklace) Are you, like, part of a wolf gang now?

“

”

Does Billy know?

JACOB
Just a pack of guys keeping the peace. Don’t worry, we’re the good guys
here.

BELLA
(dubiously) If you say so. (changing subject and refers to his physicality)
Jake, you’ve gotten so…

JACOB
(teases) Muscular? Strong?

BELLA
Anyway, I have to go. Dad just asked me to run errands.

JACOB
Sure, sure. Hey, why don’t I drop by sometime?

BELLA
At the house?

JACOB
You know, just hang out. If you like, we can even do homework together. I am
younger than you are. So you’re supposed to know more than I do. You can
tutor me. How about it?

BELLA

Did my dad ask you to do this? Just ignore him, okay? Or return the twenty
bucks he gave you.

JACOB
Nope. Thought of this all on my own. Pack’s honor.

Jacob touches his necklace.

BELLA
Oh. I don’t know.

JACOB
Pretty please? Argh! I can’t believe I just said that. Goes to show how
desperate I am.

BELLA
I’m only pretty good in English. I suck at Math.

SEQ . INT. Cullens’ Living Room. Alice gasps.

JASPER
What’s wrong?

ESME
What did you see? Did something happen to Edward and Emmett?

ALICE
Bella has disappeared.

CARLISLE
What do you mean?

ALICE
It’s like she never existed.

CARLISLE
Focus, Alice. Your brother’s future depends on it.

SEQ. EXT. Forks Street. Bella goes to her truck. Jacob accompanies her and
opens the door for her.

JACOB
Sure, sure. I’ll call soon.

BELLA
Well, it was great seeing you. Bye.

‘

Bella drives away. Passersby discreetly stare at Jacob while giving him a
wide berth.

SEQ . INT. Cullens’ Living Room.

ALICE
It’s okay. She’s back. Not clear as usual, but, at least, I can see flickers
of her. (fretfully) I don’t understand this.

ROSALIE
Well, when you’re sure she’s gone, make sure to let me know so I can tell
Edward personally and bring back Emmett.

ESME

Please stop, Rosalie, I can’t bear it.

SEQ . EXT. Rainforest. Edward and Emmett are in a jeep.

SEQ . INT. Bella’s truck. Due to the truck’s movement, the developed pictures
from the photo shop slide out of the envelope. The images show Bella’s 18th
birthday. The one that catches her eye is the one that Alice took of Edward
and her looking really happy. Agitated with the memories, Bella presses her
foot on the accelerator. She passes a speed limit sign, and her speedometer
shows she is way beyond the maximum speed.

EDWARD
(seated on passenger side) Sweetheart, slow down the truck. Aren’t you the
one who’s always telling me to drive within the speed limit?

Something or somebody runs across the road. Bella swerves to avoid hitting
it.

EDWARD
Brake gently! Keep the wheel steady! Easy, easy…

Truck stops violently on the side road.

EDWARD
Are you all right?

Bella recovers and puts her hand on the truck’s door handle.

EDWARD
Don’t go out. Stay in the truck.

BELLA
(to herself) It’s against the law to leave the scene of an accident. I have
to make sure I didn’t hit anybody.

Lorna Lopez aka ATwilightKiss’ Notes This script version is my attempt to
reconcile the literary world with the

more visual medium of film. Just like in

the Lord of the Rings, changes will be made to accommodate a

driven story line,

time constraints, and attention to character development.

Edward Cullen The concern regarding the presence of Edward Cullen in New Moon
is partially solved with two devices. One is showing the

real Edward and

following his tracking attempts of Victoria to Texas then Brazil in South

America.

To quote a line from Edward in New Moon, Chapter 23, The Truth, I traced

“

[Victoria] as far as Texas, but then I followed a false lead down to Brazil

and really she came here, led to port and rain forest scenes that had the

—

”

additional objective of letting the viewer think that the real Edward may
still be in the vicinity of Forks.

The second device that increases the presence of Edward in New Moon is
Bella’s

subconscious Edward who comes out whenever she is doing something to

hurt herself or being reckless and dangerous.

I also purposely included Bella’s birthday photos and Edward’s CD as
devices that show Bella’s attempts to forget Edward, so I didn’t have
Edward hide them under the floorboards.

These devices are not meant to succumb to fans’ clamor for more of Robert
Pattinson, but, a means to help the audience remember the Bella-Edward
relationship, so as to increase the tension when Jacob makes his intentions
and feelings clearer.

Jacob and the Pack To keep the story moving forward, Bella’s efforts to
recover from the depression are featured more prominently, instead of just
showing the depression itself. This way, her relationship with Jacob can be
introduced much earlier. As Stephenie Meyer wrote on her

site

, Bella falls

“

in love with Jacob in New Moon.”

The importance of developing the story of this romantic relationship is the
major driving force behind the decision to have Jacob discover his wolf
gene much earlier. When he meets Bella again during Christmas time, he
already knows he is a werewolf and he has had more time to accept and adjust
to his genetic heritage, thus, still being able to be the sunny Jacob that
Bella needed, yet, with a dark tormented side.

I also felt that the werewolves or shape shifters’ abilities would be more
exciting visually than putting in scenes of Jacob explaining to Bella what
the pack can do.

The choice of wolves to be featured was largely dependent on Breaking Dawn.
Since Seth and Leah Clearwater will become the pack members of Jacob, I
thought it best to introduce their characters in New Moon so that they can
already be familiar to the audience. Of course, Alpha Sam Uley is a must and
Paul as well. Jared, Quil, Embry and any other members of the pack may be
added, of course, but, the viewers’ attention should be focused on these
five.

The Cullens I also tried to involve the Cullens as much as possible, since
they are the future family of Bella. I thought it would be very interesting
to watch the conflict that would be created with the knowledge of Edward’s
plans with the Volturi; thus, I had Alice inform the Cullens regarding
Edward’s intentions to kill himself. Carlisle’s desire to bring him home

“

”

would be akin to a suicide watch.

“

”

The Vote chapter of New Moon, where the Cullens clarify their reasons for
their yes / no vote whether they want Bella to become a part of their vampire
family, became the basis of the lines from each of the family members.

Aside from shallow vanity and peevishness, I also gave Rosalie an added

impetus for contacting Edward about Bella’s death by having Emmett with him
in Brazil.

Although this script is based on the Twilight saga, it will be faithful to
the spirit of the books, but, not necessarily be faithful in every way as to
how it’s presented in the books per se.
