As Twilight was busy raking in millions (and millions) this weekend, Summit Entertainment officially announced plans to make Stephenie Meyer's follow-up book, New Moon, into a movie.

The author herself confirmed as much in a statement yesterday:

"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," Meyer wrote. "I'm thrilled to have the chance to work with them again on New Moon."
