I like the books and can’t wait to see the movie but this poster does nothing for me…..I think it kinda sucks…..I wouldn’t mind seeing what it looked like before they photoshoped it sooo horribly.. Yes you need to make Edward pale and his eyes stand out but not even Bella looks like a real person. Too over done. Dark mood is great but make it look real.

I just found where you can also read the first chapter of Midnight Sun. I don’t know how long it has been there, but here it is: http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/pdf/midnightsun_chapter1.pdf

Yeah, they needed to show more of his face. It barely looks like Robert on the poster. Well, to me it doesn’t. They could have got someone more experienced to help or do it completely. But I have read the book and I think the movie will be really good too. Stephenie Meyer, the author of Twilight, is also helping direct a little bit to. She has been with the actors on set a lot since they started making the movie.

the poster is okay but its not great…i wish you could have seen edwards face more, but personally i dont think they should’ve let an 18 yr old do the movie poster

Okay, the poster isn’t really that attractive. Unless you have read the books, you probably would not be interested in it…I mean, just by looking at the poster.
I agree with the people that said it is too tweeked and airbrushed — and so on — they, or whoever did the poster, went a little overboard with it.
I still would like to see it though. I mean it isn’t literal. People know it is just a movie poster. It would be boring without the airbrushing. I agree with Izzie, completely.

izzie isn’t having a tizzie, is she? haha, sorry couldn’t resist. Um. Yeah, good for all the 18 year olds who get to do awesome things because they really wanted to do something awesome. Too bad these movie posters aren’t really awesome.

Duh, its photoshopped. Robert Pattinson is NOT a vampire, and they had to make him look like one. And, just because the guy is 18 doesn’t mean he doesn’t know what he’s doing. The world if full of hypocrites. I bet when all of you were 18 you wish you could do something awesome but someone told you you couldn’t because you were too young. Well 18 is an adult so they gave him a chance.

And boring, bad from a graphic design point of view? This is NOT a graphic designs class. Its just a MOVIE POSTER! It shows the two stars of the film.

And “When you can live forever, what do you live for?” makes it clear that someone here is immortal. Its a mysterious poster, thats why its a TEASER.

Okay..first of all, give Rob a left shoulder…then, for godsake fix Kristen’s man hands….jeezzzus…no wonder people are scratching heads about this movie….

Umm, –YES… that poster really sucks. Who IS in charge of marketing this movie? And the 18 year old kid that did this job…He’s gotta be related to someone involved in the project….Damn, I’ve seen fan work FAR better than this.

I hate the poster, personally.

I don’t get it, though . . . I’ve followed Joey Lawrence for a couple of years and I’ve always LOVED his stuff. You should go to his site and check out the work he did with Panic at the Disco. It’s awesome! And then we have THIS.

Edward literally looks 10 feet tall. His eyes are over-emphasized. YES, they are supposed to stand out, but they don’t GLOW like they’ve made them in this photo. The angle that he’s put at is unnatural - no one can stand at that angle and remain upright.

And Kristen - she’s ok. I’m not crazy about the lighting. You can tell they had to tone down the shadows on her in post-processing and it looks bad. But her I can live with.

They just screwed up Edward. Horribly. I really hope this isn’t THE poster.

@ Sarah
Step back, take a breath and turn off the caps. This is merely peoples opinions. If you don’t like it, voice it in a non annoying way please.

@ Analeigh
The guy that did the poster was a fan and also a photographer for the movie. And my thoughts on why Robert is so tall is because he wanted to show that he’s protecting Bella.. But that’s just a thought.

I personally think that poster could have been better. I think for the offical movie poster it should just be the tagline and the title. Or maybe something small like the Cullens in the background.

the poster is…HORRIBLE. but the books are AMAZING. and as long as the movie doesnt leave out every single scene it should be pretty good too. but I dont understand why Edward (Robert) looks so freakishly tall or why Bella (Kristen) is so creepily small. its just…so bad.

and I HAVE seen better fan posters…they should have gotten a fan who was also a photographer to do the poster.

Sure it’s airbrushed… but so are all movie posters these days…

I think it’s great, I’m very excited..

I read an interview from the photographer who said he made it this way (with Edward all ‘hovering’ over Bella) because of the characters and how protective Edward eventually becomes of her

And of course they have to show the contrast in skin colors between them, so they had to make him look a bit paler…

The eyes thing had to be brought out… his eyes change colors based on how ‘thirsty’ he is…

You know it really annoys me when people judge a book or a movie before they even give it a chance! I mean come on! And as for the poster it is just the first one, and it doesn’t look as bad as others I have seen before, I think It looks pretty decent. People are just so full of themselves.

I have better shoop skills than that, and that was not an attempted ego-boost by any means.

Not my favorite poster. The composition is rather bad and I think they could’ve done without Edward’s googly eye and excessive airbrushing.
Edward appears to be looming out of place, not really protective. However, the dual light sources is a nice touch on Kristen’s face.

@ sanguina
thanks for at least supporting this poster intelligently.

beware everyone, i have reason to beleive that twilight is actually a cult of blind mindless zombies that will worship anything stephanie meyers can shit out. be on the look out for blind support and mindless praise of crappy posters and shitty teaser trailers.
