New Moon Is Five Hours Long???

New Moon Is Five Hours Long???

Yes!

Death Cab For Cutie, the first official band to be penning a song for the movie soundtrack, revealed that they were invited to a special screening of New Moon - a five hour long version of the flick!

Guitarist Chris Walla, the only member of the band whose admitted to reading the books, explains that the cut didn't include any "effects or Foley or music or anything" and they ended up declining the invitation due to scheduling conflicts.

Fools!

Though we're positive most of you wouldn't mind sitting though five hours of vampire/werewolf bliss, we're also just as sure that it will be dramatically cut down.

But just think about the bonus features on the DVD!

P.S.- Death Cab's video for their New Moon song, Meet Me on the Equinox, will be released on MTV.com on Sept 13th. We hear it'll be a big treat for you Twilighters.

Comment by Pamella on September 4, 2009 at 3:53pm: I would be ecstatic to sit and watch this movie for five hours.. but honestly I wish it was Eclipse or Breaking Dawn.. I would much rather watch 5 hours of Edward..

Comment by Deanna Cullen:) on September 4, 2009 at 5:28pm: Is it seriously5. Hours long? (not that I'm complaining.) and is the death cab song going to be the main song?like decode was for twilight.

Comment by Linda Usane on September 4, 2009 at 11:59pm: If New Moon really is 5 hours long, then Im in paradise.. Hah. But honestly, I don`t think so. For all planty of huge fans it`s fantastic, but I don`t think that director of the film was planning only on fans. Other- plane- people, whos question is- why everybody`s so crazy about all that, won`t go to the cinema and sit there for 5 hours. Or maybe they will get so overwhelmed that they couldn`t get out of theatre, hah, but yeah.. I think it`s just rumours and film will be maybe 3 hours long or so.. But it would be really really wonderful if rumours would be true.

Comment by Larrin Wright on September 5, 2009 at 12:09am: OMGG I would LOVE to sit there for 5 hours! Shoot maybe even more! I would NOT mind AT ALL!!

Comment by Alex :) on September 5, 2009 at 1:20am: yes i agree with teamsandywolf...... this is an early cut. like there not going to have every single little detail that as in the book and put it in a film... if this is without effects and all. they haave to put them in, take some scenes out. i dont belice its that long. early cuts are, but the actual film id say would be more o less like twilight.. 2 and a half or around that....
