MOVIE TRAILERS

Lets face it everyone is gonna be bitching, "It's not as good as the book"

The movie will probably be just as good as the book, boring & forgettable.

cute chick, thats about all this film has going for it

Was i supposed to laugh? Because their performances were laughable...hope this was a trailer for fans... ditto #7 Alex if this is the way this project is going YOU should stop giving it publicity. "You shouldn't have said that." whoosh

meh...this looks a little better then The Covenant and The Convenant was quite possibly the worst movie I have ever seen!

*snicker* *snicker* ^

Looks really stupid. They did put a nice filmic feel to it, but from what I gathered from the plot and of my experience with teenage romances, it will undoutably disappoint. You know what, scratch that. I saw it again. No nice filmic feel at all. Its going to be shit through and through.

the preview isn't a lot to go on, really, but it seems to cast the film as more action/thriller than romance. I wonder how much that'll change as we near December. and the few lines we get seem stiff and cliche. but I suppose some audience members (of the younger, female variety) probably don't really care, since Edward is so swoon-worthy. but anyway...I do like the Volvo C30

OME!!! Trying to breathe...this movie is going to be better than we first thought! Thank you')

I would comment on how ball-shrinkingly lame this looks, but I don't want to comment here because the last time I commented about this stupid-looking film I had my e-mail Inbox engorged by 30 bazillion girls crying about how all their boyfriends loved the books and the movie is going to rock. A.B., you could have also thrown in "Wolf" (the deer chasing scene) and ANY Dawson's Creek/The OC/Gossip Girl-type show from WB/UPN/CW into that mix of yours. No doubt about it, the style-over-substance paradigm is here to stay!

Why do people always say "angsty" it's so very annoying. So just because their teens it's a teens only film? People are so short sighted it's insane. I'm looking forward to the film and the chemistry between Rob and Kristen is AMAZING. I literally couldn't breathe. I have high hopes for this film but i don't want to get to hyped up in case it lets me down but i don't think it will, i hope now. I just have to add that Stephenie's novels are best sellers for a reason. And also since we're talking about it we're giving it more publicity, it's a vicious circle. And trailers always are different to the finished film, they need catchy stuff to pull people in, one liners and great shots and isn't that just what they've done. I rest my case.

Something that needs to be cleared up right now is that nobody is saying anything about these books. I know I'm not because I haven't read them and really don't have any intention on reading them. I understand that fans of the book series take critical comments about the movie to be taking a swipe at the books, but that's not what the majority of naysayers are doing. If this movie ends up being as bad as it looks right now, you'll have my sympathies because I understand what it is to have good material turn into crap. Want proof? Look at the Corman Fantastic Four movie, the 90's Captain America movie, or Nick Fury starring David Hasselhoff. It took a long time for comic movies to be taken seriously, so I understand and empathize with you. I said "angsty" because that's what it looks like: brooding, whiny teens in a CW tv show. That's what the initial photo looks like and the trailer didn't change my mind at all. I will also be the first to admit that I'm not the target audience. I'm not saying it's going to bomb at the box office. I hated Disturbia, but it did just fine. I'm not broken up over it and fans of the movie aren't either. As for saying that trailers are supposed to have one-liners and great shots to pull you in, Kirsty, you are absolutely right. The problem is that I saw neither in the trailer. Now, to be fair, it's entirely possible that these scenes in the context of reading the books create an entirely different reaction in you, but it did absolutely nothing for me. I hope the film makes fans of the books happy, but I'll be passing unless it gets amazing reviews from people I trust.

"…WHY THE F#CK ARE THESE SUPPOSED VAMPIRES HUNTING DEER & SAVING TEENAGE GIRLS FROM AUTO ACCIDENTS UNDER BLUE F#CKING SKIES & DAYLIGHT!?!?!?!" If you would bother to read the books, then yes this would all be explained to you.

Never Been Kissed? WTf??

Hot guy who's nailed brooding. Rhetorical questions on immortality. Hot guy saves girl from danger and has supernatural powers. Teengirl who could be any girl. Over 5 million copies of the first book alone in print and another in release this summer making it a hot topic in every high school in America. What part of this trailer isn't appealing again to the majority of the 12-25 year-old female target audience? I must have missed it.

Edward goes after that deer because he is a "vegetarian" - he doesn't kill humans...I don't understand why saving teenage girls from auto accidents contradicts the vampire myth, or any sort of logic whatsoever...and he's in daylight because Twilight vampires aren't affected by it. There you go, jason...now go read the book x_x And the trailer is awesome, b.t.w.! =)

AH I LOVE it!

to Garrett.king: if you want to know what Twilight is, quit bitching about it and go look it up yourself! go to wikipedia for god sake! and to jason_md2020: read the book to find out why... and to all the people who compare this movie to the craptastic Covenant... where to begin... 1) In the covenant, THERE ARE NO VAMPIRES!!! in the covenant they are fucking warlocks dammit get your facts straight! 2) The plot line is completely different... and who the hell would compare this to Kill a Mockingbird? thats just stupid!

looks kinda of lame and typical almost Underworld/Convenant type movies though ill give it a chance ill see what its like when we see the next full trailer and decide then. Kristen Stewart is looking hot and it will be a least worth a rent.

"...1. Why are Bella and Edward in the woods when she finds out he's a vampire? I'm pretty sure they were somewhere else (I think they were at La Bella Italia unless i'm mistaken) 2. Wasn't Edward supposed to tackle Bella onto the couch in his bedroom after saying "You really shouldn't have said that"? I was looking forward to that scen and I do wonder why he jumps out the window after pulling her onto his back… kinda odd but still a bit cool 3. Victoria is going to be at the prom. WTF. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Hopefully a good thing...." Actually, Jacob Black tells her about him being a vampire, then she confronts him at the restaurant. I was looking forward to the couch scene, too...I guess they just couldn't make it work. And Why the HECK is Victoria at the prom? She's not even a major character until New Moon! AND she's the bad guy. I love the books, but from watching this trailer I'm afraid it's not going to be even close to what it should be. I guess it's hard to capture on screen, but they aren't doing Stephenie Meyer justice.

Listen, guys: the teaser trailer will look complete different to a fan of the books than it will to someone wo has never heard of Twilight before. Take, for example, the few sentences that are spoken in the video. To those of us who know the series by heart and can recite paragraph after paragraph, "a while" and "you really shouldn't have said that" are incredibly important to us. The scenes that encompass those lines are extremely vital to the books. But, to a person who watched the teaser purely for enjoyment, the lines do seem quite "stiff and cliche." Then, take into count the movie's summary. "A girl falls in love with a vampire." Honestly, guys... here's a question to you extreme fans out there. When you try to explain the plot of Twilight to someone, don't you feel sort of silly sometimes? You want to explain how deep and provocative the book truly is, and how realistically the characters are written, but when your thoughts try to come out of your mouth, it sounds like: "It's about this girl, and she kind of falls in love with a vampire... and he falls in love with her, too. But he really, really wants to kill her, too." ... I don't know about you, but I've certainly blushed once or twice while attempting to explain the premise of the story. And when you add the summary together with the cast image, of course non-readers are going to think it's just an angsty, brooding teenage drama. I'll admit that. At the moment, when you've got no background perspective on the story, it looks like a angsty-ridden supernatural episode from The OC. And when you combine every component of the movie that has been released -- the teaser trailer, the behind-the-scenes footage, the official cast picture, and now the official poster -- it doesn't look too hot. But, for those of you who haven't read the books, you've got to acknowledge that the teaser trailer is only one minute long; it's not nearly long enough to give a good enough explanation of what the movie is all about. This is just one video; the cast picture is just one image; there are still seven months until the movie is actually released. If I were you, I'd try to keep an open mind until you see the full-length trailer, or merely here some more information on the movie. Of course, if you want to classify it right now as "an angsty teen drama with supernatural elements" and call it "ball-shrinkingly lame", then be my guest. You have your own opinions, and I'm not going to bash them. If you don't want to see the movie, fine; save your seven dollars. It's your money -- your choice. And if I sound sarcastic right now, I'm not trying to be... truly, you're the one making the decision. I'll just try to tune out the bashers, and take in the good criticism you guys are giving. I did come here to say something positive, though. I think the teaser trailer looks pretty good. The scenes have been changed up a tad, and some new parts have been added in -- but I'm not complaining. I'm still eager for the movie's release, and I still love all the cast members. Things are looking good to me. Thanks for the article.

We are so lucky that Summit and Catherine Hardwick took notice of Stephenie Meyer's amazing work. I've been stoked about this movie from the beginning- watching, reading and listening to anything I could get my hands on. I know that critics write this off as an unsubstantial teen story, but that is just not true. I have studied literature for most of my adult life, having my BA in English and being an avid reader in general, and Stephenie just has something special that draws you in. I am giddy after watching this teaser trailer, oh, about a million times. And I know that I, and all of her millions of fans, will be just as eagerly awaiting any small morsel that the media will throw our way. I cannot wait until December 12...in case you didn't catch that, I give this trailer 2 thumbs up! P.S. The negative commenters on this site seem to be so much more angry than other sites. Just let me remind Stephenie's fans that she doesn't condone evil behavior towards those who express their disdain for her work and the movie. Even though it may be funny, she doesn't like it. She has okayed everything throughout the filming process, so please dont be ANXIOUS about the movie shying away from the true heart of the Twilight Saga. I think we'll all be happy come December.

Before I get accused of saying that nobody outside of 14 year-old girls will like this movie, I'd like to set a couple of things straight. First of all, I said that *I* am not part of the demo for this movie. I wasn't speaking for anybody besides myself. It's been made abundantly clear that there is a broad fandom for this movie, I just don't see myself in it. Again, I'm not disrespecting the source material, I'm recognizing that this kind of movie probably isn't going to appeal to me, so I'm not going to waste anybody's time by seeing it and then saying how bad it is. As for whether it's a "teen drama" (I'm going to refrain from saying angsty because it seems to make people stabby and that really isn't my intention), I'm basing this opinion solely on the trailer that I've seen. What I saw gave me the impression that I stated before. Part of making a movie is that it's going to be exposed to people who aren't familiar with the source material. You have to make your trailer appeal to fans and non-fans alike. This teaser didn't do it. Sarah, when I was talking about the lack of big scenes, etc., I was responding to Kirsty's post that was two up from mine. If you're willing to say something, be prepared to back it up. I was calling that statement out. As for "Y", brilliant comment aside, I checked out the trailer because of the ferver caused by the other post that I commented in. It's clear that this movie has a following and I wanted to give it a fair chance despite my initial reaction to the publicity photo. Fortunately, enough fans of this series with more than a functional knowledge of spelling have prove that all fans aren't simply trolls like yourself. It is to those fans that I wish you nothing but the best and that this film does the books that you have such affection for justice. Just because I don't think this movie is for me doesn't mean that I hope it sucks and is a huge box office flop.

The trailer was great! The movie will rock! Has anyone bashing actually read the books? For the most part you just sound uninformed if you comment and you dont even have a clue about the subject matter just to piss off fans. Furthure more losers if you are trying to pick fights with "tweens" as you all seem to think we are. Im not. We are a diverse, passionate fan base, and the books are completely different than any other vampire series and hopefully the movie(s) will be too. Whether you like the teaser or not we will be going in droves to see this flick and its gonna blow up the box office!

Ahh... this is annoying. I love the books, ask anybody who knows me, and they will tell you I am obsessed. I would really appreciate it if people stop comparing it to The covenant, they are two very different movies. The teaser trailer really does not show the real feeling of the movie, nor what the whole movie is about. I you have read the books, you will now its a Romance novel, and the teaser show most of the action in the movie, which is not much either. I love Kristen for Bella, Edward I am still getting used to, especially the few lines he says in the teaser, which sound kind of stiff, but still, I know there is no real Edward out there. And even after this teaser trailer, I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE MOVIE!!! yes, that is how obsessed I am.

Oh dear, and please ignore the typos and grammatical errors I made. I was in such a frenzy to reply, I didn't even bother to go back and reread it through. My apologies.

THIS SITE IS A TWILIGHT HATER! =p

? is the best way to put it.

I think this trailer does what it should. Tease. It is not the full length trailer and honestly I think it was made mostly to excite the existing fanbase, though for an outsider it may intrigue. I don't think acting ability can be judged by seven lines in a clip less than a minute in length. I know Rob and Kristen's other works and I can honestly say they are both very talented. So do your homework before throwing stones people. I have high hopes for the film, I know films are never true to the book, in fact the only one that I can think of that is damn near verbatim is 'The Last Unicorn' and that is a CARTOON. So I just think of them as separate entities. I love the HP books and i love the films too, even though there are a multitude of changes. They had to change a lot for this film because most of the 'deep' conversation takes place in the volvo, not an interesting film concept, visually or cinematically...so they changed the scenery up a bit. All in all I think this particular trailer was to appease the fans because honestly those few lines mean A LOT more to us Twilgihters. And perhaps to cause a bit of controversy, they are not oblivious to the outrage and insanity of the Twilight Fandom (see the tree tops comment made months ago and ensuing madness thereof), smart marketing uses that advantageously. No publicity is bad publicity right? Ok, not always true in the film business but I think this one is going to be great.

Let me start by saying that I am a big fan of the books...but the teaser was really not that fantastic. I mean, it has me interested and excited, but it could have been done better. I agree, they should have taken more time on it, instead of releasing it a week after filming ended. So, it isn't the best. But, again, it is a TEASER. I'm willing to wait for the actual trailer before I start getting worried. And even if that doesn't look good, I still plan to see the movie. As for this ridiculous arguement between you "Twilight-bashers" and "Twilight-fans" can I just say, get a life? I mean, I love the books, but I'm not gonna cry because someone said the 58 second trailer looked "angsty." I have better things to do with my time and I'm sure all of you do too. So if people want to bash, let them bash. There's a chance they'll miss out on a really good movie because they won't give it a chance. Also, I think it's valid to give an opinion on the trailer being "stiff" without the fear of being named a "basher." So really, guys, grow up.

This movie doesn't look like it follows the book to much; which is a major dissapointment to some of us.

I agree with Maria, this site is full of Haters. There's no need for such insults people! The trailer was just a teaser, a sneaky peek, a present for the loyal fans like myself. I would like to see the movie do well, so they can make all 4, but I will be there whether it's a box office hit or not. People always gotta have something to complain about I swear!! If you don't want to see the movie, then don't see the movie, but tearing it apart after all of the hard work that went into making it is unnecessary.

I love the books and can't wait until the next one comes out, but seriously, not everyone's going to like what they see in the movie. Didn't that happen with Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings and so many other books that were adapted to the "big screen"? Yes. Remember that these books are anywhere from 400+ pages and the movie is probably going to be two hours at the maximum. If you really enjoy the books, then the movie shouldn't really matter, at least in my opinion. I might not even see the movie until it comes out on DVD. My obsessive-compulsive days ended back in my sophomore year of high school (a good 6 years ago). I think that Meyer has a great imagination and has a lot of potential going for her. I hope that in the end, she is satisfied with the movie.

omg, why are most of you people leaving such bad comments. I think this movie is going to leave everyone awestruck and the books were way better than the harry potter series or what ever other books you people are reading. If you dont like the books or you are not thrilled about the movie than why are you wasting your time commenting on this board.

Hey Melissa? The daylight thing was all me. Thanks for the explanation...But I still prefer the traditional vampire sunlight myth. Keeps 'em creepy...I think I explained my outburst better in post #65...

I personally am very excited about the teaser trailer...pretty good for just having wrapped FILMING the movie like a week and half ago And have you seen how many places people can watch this trailer? Myspace, the official twilight website, IMDB, this site, /film, a random article in the las angeles times (I suppose because they finished filming the last few scenes there??), youtube, two different places on mtv.com... and have you noticed how many times it has been watched in ALL of those places?? I'd love it if someone would visit all the sites that show the trailer and count the 'hits' it has just so we can see how many times it has been watched in less than a week And to some Twilight fans... of course things will be different, it's a movie!!

OMG.........I think its going to be pretty good movie probly not as good as the books, but still you never know! Did whos playing Jacob Black (HOTNESS)!!! SO..........ill be watching Twilight the day it comes out. I wish it came out sooner.........Bye =p

I have an idea if you dont like the books then dont go see the fucking movie. I still think it looks good.

this book was a fucking awsome book it covers alot of the truth about vampires and i know alot of guys who like it like me.... the movie does seem very loosly based on the book i hope it is more correct then what the trailor shows. this better come out in aus or i will be pissed off its TWILIGHT need i say more

This movie is going to be horrible. The book was horrible and repetitive and this movie will be too.

ok i have to say i am 100% in love with the twilight series. i dont only love the neverending drama between edward and bella i love how the author makes every single character ome alive. i wont be stupid i know the movie will be a disopointment...but that doesnt mean me and all of my other twilight obsessed friends will be there opening night:))) before i leave i have to say i amcompletly in love with edward cullen!!!!!! i hope it doesnt bother you that ilove a fictional vampire. hahahahaha,,,, well i suppose thats it. you know i could write soooo much more but i will restrain myself.....just one more thing GO TEAM EDWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i cannot wait for the movie. and all of you who are constantly complaining about it but haven't read the books, then of course you don't understand this anticipation we hold for the movie, so read the books than go complain to someone who cares.but other than that i am so content at the moment and hold high hopes for the movie to be as good as the book.

mmmmmmmmmmm i lyk loved the book but the choice of actress 4 Rosalie and Bella is well disapointing....:( scrummyyummytwizzleytoes Edward tho....... yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

i love reading the books...but this movie looks whack

I agree with#91 Your Right on Abz!!

OMG I love the book i love the look of the movie I Plain love edward And jacob suckkks :]

I'm gonna be honest here ok. Kristen (I forget) is not & never will be Bella she looks the part but that's it, the movie is LOOSELY based on the books-that much is blatently obvious-& is sadly a HUGE dissappointment. The person who wrote the script should be bitchslapt (sorry) for wrecking the most amazing book(s) in the world-personal opinion-& the movie is going to be an epic fail amongst the real Twilght novel fans.

I LOVE YOU EDWARD CULLEN!!!!!!!!!!!1

edward root me to the moon and back

i like how boys are the only one's who are dissing the movie lame i love the book and i will love the movie. now, keep you're opinions too yourself. i also and praying for New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn to be realised as a movie.

Carolyn I love you. I don't know you but I love you. The books are my favourite books of all time, every thought I have relates to Edward or Edward & Bella (that's not a lie, yes I'm sad) & this movie is going to destroy the books just like the Harry Potter movies did the books. It's not just guys ripping the movie, I am & I'm deffinately female. So yeah Carolyn I agree with everything you said.

THIS BOOK IS COMPLETELY UNBELIEVEABLR AMAZING END OF STORY!!!!!; )

#107 grow up the movie does look awful but there is no denying the books are absolutely amazing

the movie is... very very very BAD The books are awesome
