“Yes, there will be a movie. I can understand people are a little trepidatious because of the franchise around the world and how well it’s doing. Usually people leave it until a series has finished – they did that with the X-Files and Sex and the City. But it’s about finding the right story – there has got to be a real reason to do it. You don’t just do it because you want to make money – you do it because there’s a story that can’t be told on TV and needs to be told from CSI‘s perspective and the audience wants it. And we can’t wait for CSI to end or Grissom will be about 90,” he told The Radio Times.

Petersen previously said that the prospective of a film outing was the reason why his character was not killed off. “I’d love to see us make a CSI film. That’s the reason Grissom isn’t going to die of a brain tumour,” he said. [1]

I really hope this happens not only is CSI a brilliant show it would be a brilliant film with a huge fan base already it would be a box office hit and if Grissom and Sarah came back the fans would instanly be drawn in. I have watched the show for the last 9 years so watching on the big screen would be amazing, fingers crossed this happens.

Twilight was one of 2008 biggest movies and in November, New Moon the next instalment of the saga hits our screens. This movie should be darker more emotional and more intense than Twilight.

If you haven’t heard the hype surrounding The Twilight Saga where have you been, go and rent the film and buy the books and see what you think you might just fall in love with Edward Cullen yourself?

These are a few things director of Twilight, Catherine Hardwicke could have included in the film. I know this upset some fans.

*Why did James bite Bella on the forearm not her hand?
*Why didn’t Bella and Edward wear matching outfits in the meadow scene?
*Why are Jasper and Rosalie Cullen’s and not Hale’s?
*Why did they change/cut out the meadow scene?
*Why was it never mentioned that Jasper has a gift?

It will also be interesting when New Moon hits cinemas how it is perceived by the fans, with a new director in Chris Weitz (American Pie) what can we expect? In a letter from the director himself addressing the fans Chris states that

“I will devote myself to making the very best and most faithful version of New Moon that can be brought to the screen. To those who doubt that as a male director I can capture Bella’s experience, I can only say that emotion is universal and that my work has often involved working with some of the most talented actresses in the world.

For the rest, the proof will be in the pudding, But I promise to remain responsive to your hopes and fears.

I thank you for this opportunity and for your faith”. [1]

The third instalment of the saga Eclipse is due for release in 2010 and will be directed by David Sade when Stephenie Meyer was asked what she thought of this she stated

“I am thrilled that David Slade will be directing Eclipse. He’s a visionary filmmaker who has so much to offer this franchise. From the beginning, we’ve been blessed with wonderful directorial talent for the Twilight Saga, and I’m so happy that Eclipse will be carrying on with that tradition.”[2]

Breaking Dawn the fourth instalment of the series will be made into a film but it is unclear when this is due to happen, this could be due to Robert Pattinson’s busy schedule. New Moon and Eclipse are also due to be filmed pretty much back to back so this could be why a date for filming Breaking Dawn hasn’t been nailed down yet. The actors will also need a well deserved break before filming the hardest and most demanding of the saga. In my opinion Breaking Dawn should be split into two films as it is a huge book and being the last in the Saga it needs to be finished off flawlessly.

When New Moon is released in cinemas in November sides will have to be picked are you Team Edward or Team Jacob?
