I really have to take some female friends to this or I'll end up on Dateline.
-
Terrible acting across the board.
-
when it was called The Covenant.
-
mark my words.
-
Seriously. This looked cool, until about halfway through, until the "action" kicked on.
-
So when does it start on UPN?
-
right?
-
mark my words, again!
-
keep these shitheels in fucking teen people magazine.

So she says hes never out in the day, when we clearly see him-
by mike_d
out in the fucking day in the trailer. NICE.
-
enough said.
-
I was thinking that myself. I liked Kristin Scott better as Jodie Foster's androgynous daughter in Panic Room. Am I allowed to admit that?
-
Kristen Stewart. Well, I guess it's better that I *don't* know her exact name.
-
So apparently their way of fighting is restricted to aerial collisions and shoving matches. Looks good, I can hear the teenies screaming as we speak. Poor Cedric Diggory.
-
Hardawick, she gets critical acclaim with Thirteen, pretty good with Lords of Dogtown, about the same with The Navity Story, and now this, it's like she peaked with her first feature film

And this is taken more seriously than The Covenant or Lost Boys
by jimcurry
Looks absolutely terrible.
-
You know, The Tribe.
-
P.S. Why do you feel the need to include a "quote" in nearly every damn headline? Cut it out, it's pointless. ("You know him as Sawyer.")
-
Thought I recognized that dude.
-
I was teaching my class in Introductory Psychology in hormones and their effect on gender. I put the new Twilight poster on the data screen, and the class went nuts. Half the girls in the class have read *all* the books, and were busy sharing, until I got the class back on track. I predict a minimum 50 million first week, more likely 70 million.

"You don't go out in the SUN LIGHT"
They can be out during the day...direct sunlight is a different story. -
They made a vampire movie I have no interest in seeing. How the hell do you screw up a monster movie this much?
-
But supposedly they're popular with a certain demographic. The trailer looks like it belongs to made-for-TV movie though.
-
Look at the popular stories, now look at all the Herc items... ALL FUCKING QUOTES!!!!
-
such shit production values. The trailer was poorly done. And I haven't read this shit but why is he out in the sunlight the entire time?
The Lost Boys 2 looked bigger budget than this pile of shit.
Fuckin' hell. Oh btw True Blood is a pretty sweet show. -
There's a whole group of chicks at work all they fuckin' talk about in the break room is these TWILIGHT books and the soon-to-be-released TWILIGHT movie. Fuck me sideways.
-
in the book sunlight doesn't kill vampires, it makes their skin all sparkly - ie, easily noticable to non-vampires.
-
It's the sound of millions of tween gussets simultaneously being filled.
-
As a librarian who has to deal with multitudes of requests for this series, that trailer made me die a little inside. I'll just have to replace all the copies we have with Let the Right One in.
-
PLEASE!! That book is magnificent, and the movie looks equally great.
-
dooka dooka dooka dooka
-
goes out in the day? And this couldn't be more "Shot in Vancouver" if it was called Smallville
-
Seriously. Vampire lore keeps getting fucked with. Sunlight, crucifixes, garlic and holy water can fuck up a vampires day. Why keep amending the rules. I hate that shit. And yeah, thanks jedihillis for pointing out the Harry Potter connection. I was wondering why the dude looked familiar.
-
I've not read the book, i care very little for teen books. I just wanted say if they are ment to sparkle in sunlight what there to be scared of ?
A glittery vampire walking around town would make me worried that he or she turning me would mean me waking up in the morning with one of the YMCA lads holding me tight!
What the fuck is this shit ?
By the look of the trailer its a classic same old bullshit story nothing new at all if anything a complete rip off of buffy but buffy has not power she's just a lame piece of jail bait. -
Its a decent book, obviously aimed at a younger audience. As an adult male I find it entertaining in a cute way, but am not emotionally invested in it. If I was a 15 year old goth chick, though, I'd be obsessed with it. Anyways, in the aggregate, its an entertaining book thus far, but I'm unsure if I'll continue reading after book one (think I'm gonna switch over to the True Blood / Sookie Stackhouse books instead).
All that said, this trailer looks awful. With the exception of Bella (who is gorgeous), the rest of the characters look NOTHING like what I picture in my head. And Edward just looks creepy and slightly retarded here, not the otherworldly beauty he's written as in the book. -
I have no clue.

I hated that Coppola made Dracula capable of being out in the sun. I've read Stoker's book eons ago and that is not remotely how Dracula is and there's really no need to change it since it's such a common trait that sunlight kills vampires. Plus, it's actually a plot point in the original text! (including Murnau's work)Also, in terms of the lore, Vampires are NOT typically killed by silver or even a stake through the heart but are instead pinned and rendered immobile. Granted, variations are all over and as a fictional archetype, you can do anything you want with it but when you remove some of the core aspects of the archetype, it basically becomes something else. I hate that. Vampires don't have to turn into bats but they have to be deathly allergic to sunlight...a stake can kill them but the more lore-based death of immobilizing them by staking them and then cutting off the vampire's head and stuffing roses into the mouth is the more 'historically traditional' way of killing them.If vampires can go in the sunlight then they're basically "Superman" with no overt weakness (sunlight = kyptonite). Stupid idea, period.
-
My guess on percentage of AICN viewers who are female between 14-20 ... 2.2 Just as the average viewer on here (myself included) is baffled by Tyler Perry's success, so we shall be mystified by Twilights appeal. Oooh - new Metro Station remix - gotta go!
-
"I KNOW WHO YOU ARRRRRRREEEEEE!!!"
-
They usually either take what they want by force or hypnotize their victims into a more lucid state, as if they were drugged. Sounds like rape to me. And the vampire in Twilight is apparently a hundred years old. That makes him a dirty old man and a felon.
-
Sorry, I have to disagree about vampires and sunlight. In Stoker's DRACULA, he was able to move about in sunlight, although his powers were diminished by it. In a lot of folklore, vampires can move about in sunlight, too, even though they "prefer the night." For the most part, sunlight became more of a factor because of Hollywood: NOSFERATU used it because they were trying to vary the story from Stoker's since they didn't have permission to film the book, and it went from there....
-
According to my co-worker (although, not in those exact words). She's 37 and read the first book a while ago with her book club and said she was appalled by just how bad the writing and dialog were. We really need an end to the romantic vampire tale.
-
It takes place in a small Washington town, so shooting in Vancouver makes sense. It's not like it's supposed to be NYC.
-
But admittedly it has been a long time. I could have sworn that the Dracula of the book could not go out in daylight without suffering from it and could not withstand direct sunlight at all. I was thinking that he was killed in the end by Van Helsing, et al, attcking the gypsy caravan carrying him back to his home. But now I'm thinking they attacked Dracula which broke his hold on the gypsy's and then they killed him...but wasn't it by exposing him to sunlight?Regardless, Vampires that can travel about during the day is dumb and honestly, I was not blown away by Stoker's novel in the first place (altho I will admit to the need to read it again...it's been probably 15 years at least!).
-
...natch!
-
The books were pretty decent for teen reading, that is until the last one.
*BIG SPOILER ALERT FOR THOSE WHO PLAN TO READ THE BOOKS... you've been warned!* Bella and Edward end up getting married with Bella still being human, and they get it on. Bella gets knocked up because, you know, vampire and human DNA are so close that it allows them to breed, but the kid turns into a human/vampire hybrid that grows at an extraordinary rate, creating an impenetrable ambionic sac around it, nearly killing Bella before it's born (which is why there aren't more of them). Despite the fact that every day she comes closer to death, and suddenly starts craving blood, Bella fights with all her might to keep the baby inside of her until it's ready to be born... even if it kills her. It was one of the stupidest stories I've ever read. Pure blech. We get treated to a couple hundred pages of Bella being completely unable to move and even having to be carried to the bathroom to do her business. It was like reading "What To Expect When You're Expecting a Vampire Baby"... -
Darth, I would've thought the same, except I coincidentally just read DRACULA again recently. He was killed in the end with Quincy Morris's Bowie knife (not even a stake, LOL, as I recall), but I'm fairly sure they got to him before nightfall when his powers would get stronger.
I'm just one of those people who likes "different" vampires. Anne Rice even had her own take on them in a lot of ways, reinventing the creature. I'm not a big fan of sparkling vamps, but it seems lots of people dig it.
Oh, well. -
ok guys really, you all need to calm down. it's a romance novel about vampires, not the other way around. girls eat this stuff up. it is goging to make a ton of money on nov 21 whether you like it or not so....
GET OVER IT!
what we should really feel bad about is how freaking BEVERLY HILLS CHIHUAHUA got the #1 spot last weekend.
THAT is a crime -
I kind of agree with you. I've liked different takes on the vampire mythology, for the most part. Anne Rice pretty much defined the modern vampire, and I like her take. I really thought the "sparkling" vampire thing was dumb, though, from a literary standpoint. It just smacks of "I wanted to be different for no reason other than to be different!"
-
Vampires used to be a symbol of humanity's fear of the inevitable encroachment of death; the dearly departed return to drain the essence of life from those that still live. They were evil and predatory, something to be feared. The creatures in Twilight are really just super-powered humans that sparkle and love baseball. "Vampire" isn't a terribly accurate term for what Stephenie Meyer created.
As for the trailer, that was painful to watch. CW material indeed. -
anna kendrick...no doubt the most talented actor in the entire film, and a rising star with more than 10 years of experience on the stage and screen...she is also the only reason to watch the movie "camp"....when i saw that movie, she was the only character i really cared about
-
Yeah--I have a friend who calls Twi-vamps the "my pretty pony of vampires." Hee. I'm dating myself here, but they remind me of how Simon LeBon was the dangerous one in Duran Duran back in the day. (Not a slam on D2, either. I'm just sayin'.)
-
Don't be dissing on Buffy!
-
Shits on this crap. If you see one vampire movie this year, you know not to pick this one.
-
The acting is as bad as a high school play!!
-
Sorry, but if you're a male and you actively want to see this movie you probably wear girls' jeans and have a pair of pink, fuzzy handcuffs hanging off your belt. Ergo; any male who watches TWILIGHT is officially a homo.
-
I'll rent it when it comes out on DVD.
-
By that I'm assuming you mean Vancouver, B.C., Canada. Well you're close, but no cigar. Twilight was filmed in and around the Portland, Oregon area.
-
Read Brian Lumley's Necroscope series. Totally kick ass reads and a great and uniquely different (from what I've seen/read) take on Vampires. The main series is 5 books, all excellent; then there's a couple 'off-shoot' series with the main characters that are also excellent. Lumley is brilliant and his take on Vamps is amazingly creative and complex...highest recommendation! (Best Vamps books I've ever read)
-
i really want to see this and i am not gay. I just think the action in the books is really interesting with all the superpowers and whatnot...especially in breaking dawn.
oh, and by the way, if you tell a girl that u have read the books and like them, they'll eat u up.
so Max? you can take ur homophobic and judgemental remarks and put them where the sun don't shine. -
I'm very familiar with the Twilight books. I got a 14 year old sister that has reread each one at least three times.
I knew the general storyline, and when I saw the TEASER for this movie, it looked really cool. Not the one up there, the really quick minutelong one.
Regardless of my feelings towards the series, that trailer made me wanna see the movie.
This trailer is shit. It really killed it for me.
As far as the books go, I got through the first one. Gotta say, it was good. Not good enough to make me wanna go and read all of them, but certainly a decent read with lots of chick appeal. As far as the movie goes, I guarantee that it will blow gopher testicles. -

vampires are so last season.
-
...but you know, being dead is yucky, so they stay all dreamy and fresh.
-
yea, i know they were fake trailers but it got me thinkiing. sarah jellar, eliza deushku, alyson hannigan, michelle tractorberg and charisma carpenter with the other guys in that t.v. show. what a cast. make it R-rated and you have a movie as big as dark knight. id see it at least twice.
