Is it really true that New Moon (sequel to Twilight) movie is being canceled?

Question

I have been hearing a lot of talk about New Moon being canceled due to budget issues. I am very confused because I've also heard that it is already being filmed. Another story I've heard is filming is beginning in March. If you do not like the Twilight franchise please do not answer this question. I only want clarification of the situation from fans or people that know what is happening.
Thank You.

Additional Details

Well, I'll tell you where I got the info from. A family friend stopped by and said that they where canceling it, but that friend has a reputation for mishearing things.

New Moon is NOT BEING CANCELED. BUT, the director from Twilight, the first film has decided to quit the project of New Moon. They have found a new director for New Moon and the film is progressing as we speak :) According to Stephenie Meyer's website they have hired director Chris Weitz who has directed American Pie, About a Boy and The Golden Compass.

I hoped this helped :)

Answer 2

we can only hope...

Answer 3

hopefully

Answer 4

No. It's not being canceled. Idk where the heck you heard that from. Summit and sometimes MTV are the only people who can really confirm things. But New Moon was a go the weekend Twilight came out.. So yeah.

Answer 5

I am OBSESSED with Twilight :)

Glad to see somebody else that loves in too.

I hope they don't cancel New Moon. They would lose sooo much money.

Answer 6

The film has made nearly $250 million worldwide....trust me, I doubt they aren't going to film a sequel. If studios smell money, the movie will get made one way or another.

Answer 7

no but they are changing a lot like directors and some actors like the guy that plays jacob

Answer 8

i haven't heard anything about it being canceled. i heard it's being released on November 20, 2009

Answer 9

hopefully not :S i fell in love with twilight

Answer 10

no, i just heard on the news about it yesterday and its still on. i also checked stepheniemeyer.com (her personal website) and nothing has been recorded about that.

Answer 11

no. it officially got the green light to go ahead to filming last month.

the budget will be higher this time due to the success of twilight.

Answer 12

no. but they fired the director from twilight so it'll be better.

Answer 13

no, they just got a new director. He did the golden compass and american pie. If your still not sure you can check stephanie meyer's website, it has stuff about the movies

Answer 14

I haven't heard that at all.
Actually I keep positive things about it new cast members for the new roles.
I really doubt that they will cancel it.

Answer 15

I googled it and the only thing i could find was that filming in La Push had been cancelled. They'll probably film it elsewhere on the shores of Washington.

Answer 16

OMG HELL NO I WOULD DIE!!!! lmfao seriously! They start to film in February or in March of 09. It comes out November 09! (:

Answer 17

I am a huge twilight fan and I got a email from the directors of twilight. They said ya

Answer 18

THis is not true at all. But they will have a different director. They are trying to relese it by nov. 2009. also the person who is playing jacob will be replaced

Answer 19

no

Answer 20

No, it's already in pre-production.
They're just having problems with the storyline (Bella is supposed to fall in love with Jacob.) But they're thinking about changing it slightly.

Answer 21

New Moon is in Pre Production, they start filming in a couple months.
There may be budget issues but it is not because there is not enough money, Twilight made and is still making massive amounts at the box office.
They will definately be making New Moon and Eclipse, I am not sure about Breaking Dawn due to content but they will continue till the money stops.

Answer 22

NO! If they did I'd be REALLY REALLY REALLY depressed. Rumours usually are made from facts of truth. So I bet this idea came from, the replacement of the director and Jacob Black.

Answer 23

my friend told me the same thing and i also asked this question everyone has been telling me it is still on and is coming out november 20th 2009 so i guess we will just have to wait and see twilight lover

Answer 24
