Kristen Stewart's character Bella Swan will be the subject of many a plight in this year's film The Twilight Saga: New Moon.

A survey of the most fan-anticipated moments in the film revealed that the following scenes must make it into the film.

[ * Warning * if you haven't read New Moon, some of these items may serve as a spoiler ]

• Bella's "Gram" dream: In the very first chapter of New Moon, Bella has a dream in which she comes across her grandmother and is nervous about introducing her to Edward Cullen - only it's not her grandmother. It is her. Bella was aging so fast that she was looking into a mirror and believed that she was looking at her Gram. Meanwhile, Edward Cullen remained the same. Bella's desire to become a vampire is somewhat solidified by this occurrence.
• The "birthday" scene: It involves Bella unwillingly attending her own birthday party (a product of Alice Cullen's incessant, but lovable, party-planning-persona), getting a paper-cut and nearly being mauled by Jasper. Undoubtedly, this scene will be one of the more important ones for the film.
• The "break-up" of Edward and Bella: After Jasper's near attack, Edward becomes estranged from Bella, and it is heart-breaking to her even then. The conversation between Bella and Edward which leads him to depart, to the fans, needs to be spot on. Gut-wrenching as it was in the book, so it must be in the movie. The disappearance of all things Edward must occur too - even the lovely CD.
• The "catatonic" state: When Edward leaves, Bella is found speechless, motionless, covered in forestry goop (from chasing after Edward of course), and she remains in a cyclical state of emotional nothingness. Her interactions with Charlie (her father), her classmates, and with the world at large are robotic and worrisome. Literally emptiness passes through her life for months.
• Hallucinations: Edward's voice chiming into shake Bella from her dangerous behavior? Gotta be in there.
• Motorcycles: Enter Jacob Black and his mechanical skills ... not to mention Bella's motorcycle. Bella has a scheme to make Edward's voice return to her - get in as much danger as possible. This is when she gets to know and trust Jacob, and Bella is reintroduced to the world, at least in part. A significant bit of that part is in La Push - with the werewolves. The motorcycle sequences should also involve a major crash - one which Edward's voice has numbed Bella from truly feeling the pain from.
• Werewolves: The werewolves, especially the russett one with friendly eyes, have to and undoubtedly will make a big appearance in the film.
• Movie theatres: In several important scenes, a movie theater is involved. Particularly, fans want to see Mike Newton (as portrayed by Michael Welch) get a little green from a certain zombie flick. Afterwards, too, Jacob Black should be feeling a little un-well himself . . .
• Cliff-diving: Bella needs to take that leap ... and so do the werewolves before her.
• Black Mercedes: Alice's return is certainly in style, as Bella's heart races upon the sight of Carlisle's black Mercedes in the drive. That particular detail signifies the class and culture associated with the Cullens, and it'd be nice to see it make an appearance in The Twilight Saga: New Moon.
• Yellow Porsche: In style she remains as Alice Cullen takes a chance at "grand theft auto" in Italy with a nice yellow Porsche. Many fans want to see that particular detail in the film for sure.
• The Volturi, Jane, and the Italian square: Volterra, to say the least, is a point of interest for future New Moon film goers.
• The "vote": The final sequence in New Moon, fans say, should be brought to the big screen. Particularly, people want to see the Cullens speak the very lines they were given in the book.

Still, there were other scenes that were not in the book that readers want to see also. Like Rosalie's call to Edward on the outtakes or Edward's traipsing through South America (to keep him in more of the movie). Others disagree, saying keeping Edward at a distance is an important fact of the New Moon story. The viewers, like the readers, need to feel Bella's loss in his absence, some say.

In any case, there is a lot to look forward to in The Twilight Saga: New Moon if these sequences come to the big screen properly.
