And here is a report per MarketWatch.com:

Summit Entertainment announced today that the studio is officially moving forward with the production of NEW MOON, the second installment of its filmed franchise TWILIGHT, the action-packed, modern day vampire love story. The movie will be based on the second novel in author Stephenie Meyer’s “Twilight” series titled, “New Moon.” The first movie in the TWILIGHT franchise, the self-titled TWILIGHT, arrived in theaters this weekend to sold-out showings.

Stephenie Meyer stated, “I don’t think any other author has had a more positive experience with the makers of her movie adaptation than I have had with Summit Entertainment. I’m thrilled to have the chance to work with them again on NEW MOON.”

Wow, wow, wow. I know I shouldn’t be excited because I expected this to happen, but I still want to scream. Twilight had it’s ups and downs, but I have faith that with a more appropriate budget, New Moon will be amazing.

How do you feel about a New Moon movie? Are you just as excited as ever to see a sequel, or are you maybe a bit skeptical?

YAY! This is positively awesome. I can’t wait until it comes out. It’s gonna be great, but way sad. I’m ready to cry! haha. And, I want to see Robert & Kristen together again. They’re amazing actors/actress. I LOVE ROBERT PATTINSON!:)

i can say that twilight is just “OK”. For New Moon movie, i’ll be waiting for it but they have to make sure that it will make me cry when Bella and Edward break up. The best book for me is breaking dawn. But I still have to wait for years before they can finish new moon, eclipse and at last breaking dawn..
summit will absolutely earn a lot of money if they will make it a fantastic one for new moon! ^_~

I’m really excited about New Moon! I had my doubts about the Twilight movie because I knew they would just never be able to keep up with the awesomeness of the actual books. But the cast did a much better job than expected and I actually loved it (I still think they have the wrong Bella, but that’s just one opinion). I am without doubt the biggest and most critical Twilight girl in the universe, but despite that Summit did an awesome job with the first, so the second should be phenomenal

OME! This is AMAZING!! I really LOVED twilight the movie (and ofcourse the entire series)&& i cn’t believe they’re making NEW MOON!… I hope that with the big budget they have now they won’t have t cut anything from the book, because i was really disapointed when i didn’t see carlisle’s story =C…anyways i’m still excited! YAY! EC

i’m so excited that new moon is going to be made. in my school no one was a big fan of it but my friend was and she never stopped going on about the movie being which i was completely oblivious to to be frank. she encouraged me to go see it and i loved it! i love romantic films with an edge of danger i read twilight after i saw it and got so into it. i think kristen and robert played there parts AMZINGLY!. i started to read new moon and was a bit pissed that edward leaves for like the middle of the story that means robert pattinson wont be in it the whole time ! BUMMER ! but i rekon its going to be a really good magical film! i’m so going to the premier in london when it happens :D

i’m glad that they’re making New Moon though i have to say the writer and director of Twilight didn’t really bring the emotion into the movie that was in the book. i hope new moon will be as big a hit as Twilight even though Edward does ditch Bella but i guess he has his reasons. THANK U ANYWAY SUMMIT! BUT THIS HAS TO BE GOOD!
aleisha

This is great news..
I enjoyed Twilight, although I do agree with certain comments, they could have done better. And before people start arguing how could they put a 500 page book in 2 hours, think about this, there shouldn’t have been a specific time frame, they could have made it 3 hours if they wanted(take Lord of the Ring for example) and put all of the important details in it. They have a new Direction for New Moon(Chris Weitz) and he’s done other movies before, he’s experienced, so I think he’ll do really good. And the have a bigger budget for the movie. New Moon should be great, and I think Taylor is the perfect Jacob(they’re not replacing him, just adding digital stuff for all his growing, ect. ect.) and they already have the perfect Bella. I hope they make this movie phenominal, which they should. This filming is to start in March so I’ve heard and I can’t wait to watch it.

Samantha

I love the book New Moon! I am so happy that New Moon is in the production and I hope they come out with it soon! I cant wait for it and too see Taylor Lautner playing Jacob! So glad Robert Patterson isn’t going to be in the movie
Dayana

Im so happy they are making New Moon,into a movie…I know they also have a contract for Eclipse..im not sure about Breaking dawn.But i hope thay make it into a movie..it will be the best movie of all..
Lindsay

I just can’t wait for New Moon to come out, but I hope in the movie they might show some of what Edward is doing during his absence. I don’t think I have ever loved a movie or book series more than I have absolutely loved Twilight. And I have also heard some rumors going around about how they have signed a contract to make Eclipse and I really hope it is true. Can’t wait
