I had the pleasure of attending AT&T's Atlanta premiere of New Moon last night. A VIP and media meet and greet was followed by a private screening before the midnight nationwide release.
The meet and greet was with Justine Wachsberger who plays Gianna in the movie. She happily posed for pictures and talked to fans. She also was in the movie Sorority Row, and with this part in New Moon she is now part of the Twilight Franchise and is hoping this is a springboard to bigger and better things. While she is reading more scripts now than she has ever before, she is hoping to do some independent films and I feel a bigger role in future Twilight installments may be upcoming for Justine. There is no better movie franchise to be involved in for an up and coming actress than this series.
AT&T has some great tie ins with New Moon and I'll talk more about them later, but they include New Moon graphics for your AT&T Phone and the ability to watch New Moon clips and trailers right on your AT&T phone.
I never saw the first movie, or have read any of the books, but I was able to follow the storey very easily in New Moon and it was a visually pleasing movie to watch, nice special effects and scenery. The plot is a little cheesy to me since I'm not a 13 year old girl, but it kept my interest and kind of makes me want to see the next one. There are too many slow motion sequences in the movie, and most of guys in the movies are shirtless for no apparent reason. I'd give it 3 stars. How about some pictures.
