Twilight Teaser Trailer

Twilight

Looks like Twilight won’t be saving Speed Racer after all. Summit Entertainment has released the first teaser trailer for Twilight on MySpace.

Based on the bestselling book series by Stephenie Meyer, and directed by Catherine Hardwicke, Twilight tells the story of 17-year-old Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) who moves to the small town of Forks, Washington to live with her father. She becomes drawn to Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a pale, mysterious classmate who is part of a family of vampires. Their unorthodox romance puts her in physical danger when Edward’s nemesis comes to town and sets his sights on Bella.

So far /Film readers have been highly critical of this film adaptation. And while I’m not far off, I’m certainly intrigued by the intense fandom. I’ve even recently discovered some of my friends, who opinions I trust, are actually fans of the series. So I really want to give it a chance. And after watching the teaser trailer, I’m still not sure what to think.

Discuss: What do you think about the Twilight Teaser Trailer?

    Wowsa, this is probably going to be the worst movie ever. Why does this shit keep getting made?

    PURE GARBAGE
  • Graham
    meh
  • radiantarchon
    just got done reading the story. i now see why its so appealing to girls. vampire is a nice piece of horror and romance pie, but this kind of story has been done too much and better. I'll still probably download it though
  • estrus
    That dude is so weird looking. Thought so in HP and this just confirms it.
  • Hunter Stephenson
    Every movie critic who reviews Twilight and gives a positive review needs to have an asterisk next to his/her byline that means:

    *i admit it, i am a lowly servant to the suspect tastes of American teens and have succumb to corporate pressure.

    Also, no movie critic with kids should be able to mention their damn kids in said review of Twlight.

    after /film first twilight post, i started reading the series (up to half of new moon) out of curiosity and being clueless like all the regulars on /film.

    i had the book in hand on the bus and a teenage girl commented that swewart is all wrong. what the hell does she know, kristen stewart is perfect if you ever seen her other films.

    personally, im not sold on the director. so there for, im not sold on the teaser. im sure a better trailer will come out in time for comic con.
  • FATALITY

    but, this movie looks like shit.

    TERRIBLE acting.

    terrible directing.

    looks like a ameature television show, and the characters all look like giant douchebags.

    this movie will be terrible but will make a lot because of the thousands of people who like the book.

    not saying the book is bad, especially if you are a young teenage girl. but that doesnt mean the movie will be the least bit watchable.

  • Hunter Stephenson
    @ GregoryV

    Personally, I think Catherine Hardwicke is a talented director, but this material has better aim than cupid with its intended audience. No harm in admitting you're not in the line of fire.
  • Jack M.
    Before the twilight moms or milfs or whatever the hell they call themselves storm this site I like to give my opinion on the trailer

    It looks like hot gabage and I know I forgot the R but it doesn't deserve to be dump in with the regular garbage.

    I haven't read the book and don't plan on reading it so please don't hit me with "you have to read the book" nonsense, only way that'll happen if I'm stumped in the balls until there grounded into dust.

    HAHAHAHAHA. Oh my god that acting is horrible. Are you sure this isn't a new crappy CW show? "you're wrong edward, she's not one of us". Hillarious.
  • Mr. X
    OMG. Terrible. Some emo kid mixed in with vampires and now hes got a crush on some girl? Why dont we all just go drink a bottle of Nyquill and go watch all the seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and then after that we can cut ourselves as we watch Charmed.

    This movie, regardless of a fan base and where its roots are, sucks.
  • Ghost
    Wow this belongs on CW or something.
  • Allison
    Ugh, I'm really hoping the movie will be redeemable. It goes back and forth for me. In the beginning, I figured it would suck. Then I saw the behind the scenes footage on MTV and it gave me some hope that it would be decent.
    But this...this I don't know what to make of.
    I'm praying that when it all comes together, the bad acting will be out shined and it won't look so cheesy. It is a film adaptation of a book, though, and I really shouldn't get my hopes up. They never seem to come out right.

    I suppose, as long as it's better than Blood and Chocolate, I'll be the tiniest bit satisfied.
  • Floppy
    Is it just me or does the guy in the middle look like a relative of Sloth?
  • Lesleyanne
    I love the Twilight series, and I was upset that they decided to make a movie. But the trailer is actually better than I thought it would be, considering this is MTV making it. MTV always tries to glamour up everything they get ahold of. They can never make anything realistic. And what do you expect when you've got Catherine Hardwicke directing. Her other movies are awful.
  • Orange Clockwork
    I really don't understand the hype behind this film.
  • Sara
    This movie is going to be awesome,so shut the f*** up people!
    Rob and Kristen are great actors,better than you!
    Stop insulting this book,actors and movie!
    Get a life!
  • Floppy
    Peter,

    Get ready to shut the teenie bopper drama post down again (i feel it in the wind).
  • Sean
    Oh dear God, I can't wait to see this film. Yes, I'm a boy. Yes, I've read the whole series of books. And, YES, I WILL be seeing this movie.

    And yes, Emily Browning would have made a better Bella! =]
  • dan
    @ Sara
    Looks like we've upset a fifteen year old girl. Everyone apologize for ruining her fun.
  • Christopher Marc
    I still don't understand about the vampires in daylight...it's part of the damn folklore...this is the dumbest looking vampire movie ever..it looks like jumper with pale kids...lol
  • Ali
    @ Christopher Marc

    In the books the vampires can't go out in the sun because when they change, their skin hardens, and so in the sun it kind of sparkles - like glass.

    So that explains why they can go out during the day - they just do so when it's cloudy.
  • Floppy
    So when they're in the sun they become Italian?
  • Hunter Stephenson
    Maybe Twilight is the movie that kickstarts GEEKS VS TEENS: GENRE MOVIE BLOODBATH OF THE CENTURY. I can only hope. ;)
  • Hunter Stephenson
    @ Ali

    Sorry to be a "cloudy" killjoy, but that's hilarious.
  • GregoryV
    You have a good point Hunter.
  • Ch
    Oh my god, this looks like shit. And yet, at the same time, I am so happy that this post was published, just for the simple fact that I'll be able to keep checking back every now-and-then, and have a nice laugh at the obsessive Twilight fans when they start complaining to us about our viewpoints towards this truly awful trailer!
  • WTF?
    wtf is wrong with you people? i mean yea some of the actors are bad but SHEEZSH!! dont have to be so RUDE about it.
  • Ch
    ^ And so, it has begun...
  • Floppy
    @ WTF?

    It makes me feel better about myself. Or whatever stereotypical answer you might have already got in your head. (Fuel the fire Ch!! haha)
  • "I'm not scared of you.."

    I'm not either, in fact I'm laugh at how horribly you look and act.
    This movie looks horrible, when does it air on Sci Fi again?
  • ahh it looks like a scary movie D:
  • tasito
    The books are good. They entertain you for a while.

    ps. This is not supposed to be a scary movie. It's a teen romance film. They just put suspense on the trailer.
  • Emmanuel Munoz
    (Read it and did not like it) I will agree with the people who say that this should be on the CW. But i am going to watch again to confirm it................ yep, that is CW material.

    I can't get over that "shes not one of us" line.
    Next step is to show it to my Twilight obsessed girlfriend.
  • Madeline
    for all of you who think that this movie is going to look like CRAP your wrong!

    if you would have read the book, then possibly you may have liked it.
  • Zane Valentino
    In response, to the ever so kind but blatantly ignorant words written by a mister Tyler J. on the "Could Twilight be the next Harry Potter thread" I would like to issue a challenge to a mister Tyler J.

    Find me one romance novel that isn't a sleazy sex-fest, and then find me one WELL-WRITTEN teen novel that bears this same topic.

    I believe the reason that you like smashing Twilight into the ground is that you seem to be some sort of homophobic. You feel that you have to show us how manly and butch you are by discrediting a phenomenon based around teenage girls. Before I continue I must say, GO ****ing kiss Senator Mcarthy. Now then, I want you to know that Stephenie Meyer targeted to the book to teenage girls because there is somewhat of a shortage of quality literature for said demographic. Then again, you probably enjoy all those trashy romances...

    So you know what go rip out your chest hairs...yes, I am a man and I have a GIRLfriend. MMMkay!

    Please excuse my rudeness, but I lost it. And yes, I am referring to all the others on the thread.
  • robert_b
    I'll be looking forward to this b/c I'm a fan of Kristen Stewart and it's looking "Ok" so far. I enjoyed the novels immensely, and there are very few movies I dont like, so I'll be seeing it.
  • orange cinema
    haha! i stand by my 'covenant 2' prediction. holy shit that was silly looking!
  • ADD
    um, wow. ok, i really enjoyed the books for reasons touched Zane Valentino but the movie thing kinda upset me. i like kristen stewart, but man! the acting and dialogue in the trailer made me giggle . . . and not in a good way. oh well! i am too weak to resist, so i will go see it :)
  • White Danny Glover
    How come previous generations got cool stuff like star wars and all we get is this b.s.??? @ Hunter, I'm more loyal to my fellow geeks than I am to my fellow teens. This looks like crap.
  • Ali
    @ Hunter

    Haha. I don't write the books, I just read them. People are entitled to their opinions. :)
  • The trailer was okay. I hope the movie will be better!
  • Tracy
    Dude,

    the book was amazing, and nothing can change that. I hope the movie will be good, but you have to go into the theaters thinking and knowing that the movie is going to be diffrent then the book. If you think that you wont be dissapointed,

    Personaly, i think the movie looks amazing. Screw all you guys, Robert is hott!
  • Madeline
    and just a reminder...that this is probably one of the many comments from me, but i dont care. Anywho, just remember, that there will be more trailers. And to all of you people who think that this will be CRAP. Screw you.
    If you have to talk to me, then email me at VBLuver4000@aim.com
    Bring it...
  • Madeline
    and the book is amazing...and I TOTALLY agree with Tracy, the one above me. Robert is HAWT and screw you if you dont think so...
  • looks like the 13 year olds have their panties in a bunch.
  • Lisa
    I'm thinking this teaser was made in haste, since filming just ended and the movie won't be out till December. I didn't really like the long romantic gazes, but then that's also what you would expect of Pattinson's character from reading the books. I wouldn't say the book is that well-written, just entertaining. So, they didn't have all that much to work with as far as good examples of dialogue and good characterization. I heard they used dialogue right out of the book, which is disappointing. A lot of the dialogue doesn't seem like it would translate from print to screen very well. With that being said, Pattinson is so hot!!!!!! Totally seeing the movie just to see him!!!!! lol
  • big daddy
    @ madeline

    nice job, give your email address to a room full of people that think this looks like shit. if that is your real email address, they'll probably sign you up for some bestiality porn, that should teach you.

    this trailer does look like a cheesy ball of shit. but if anything, its enough for those 13 year olds who liked the covenant movie. this shit looks like something that would be endorsed by the disney chanel or mtv. id say harry potter kicks the shit out of this, by a long shot
  • big daddy
    @ hunter

    doesnt it kinda feel like tourists are visiting the site? with all these damn kids running around commenting on shit?
  • charles
    I haven't even seen the trailer and I think it sucks.
