トワイライト・シリーズ Article: What is Summit Doing With the Trailers?

posted by mandapanda

I'm sure, によって now, most of あなた have seen the New Moon Teaser Trailer 2 that was posted. Although it was in french, I'm going to talk about it and it's misinterpretation.

Positive コメント first! It's great to see snippets of new scenes! We got to see:
- the 狼, オオカミ pack
- Jacob in Bella's Room
- sneak peek of the Volturi
- cliff diving
- Victoria
- Edward and Bella's Italy kiss
- movie theatre J/B talk

They all look great! And it makes us want to see the movie もっと見る if that's possible!

Now the negativity. When I analyze the trailer and get critical, sometimes I get pretty negative if I'm not pleased. So I apologize.

WHAT IS SUMMIT THINKING!

Let's pretend that we don't know anything about Twilight または the series. We see this in the theatre. Edward leaves Bella. She's depressed, then Jacob comes and jumps in her window, they hug. They are on motorcycle's, they touch. He's in her house, they almost kiss. Oh, but then, she's in a huge crowd of crimson red, etc etc.

Is it just me, または is there too much Jacob? Yes, yes. I know Jacob is in the book more! But, isn't the trailer missing Bella's pain and depression? What did the trailer focus on? Jacob and Bella's friendship. Yes, they grow closer in the book, but why do they grow closer? Because Bella can't live without Edward! Everything in her world reminds her of him, and the only thing that helps her contain herself, is to be with Jacob.

I understand that it's a trailer, and that they can't 表示する everything. I completely understand that. And I'm not judging the movie from the trailers. But, I do believe Summit is trying EXTREMELY hard to sell Jacob and Taylor to the fans. Why not have Kristen give a little commentary during the trailer? Why Taylor? It's Bella's book isn't it?

I hate what Summit is doing. Trying to sell the series with eye candy. Yeah, the guys are amazingly attractive. But, if they are trying to "stay true to the books", then they won't doing a good job. The 本 aren't about that.

As much as I enjoyed this trailer, I was disappointed that they put alot of Jacob in it and didn't 表示する any of the Cullens. But we shall see for the theatrical trailer that comes out around October. :)

***Just a note: Please understand, this isn't to bash Chris Weitz または the cast. I 愛 them both! But, it is, in fact, a statement of what I think Summit tries to do with the series. This just happens to be a negative review. But no worries. I'm positive the movie will be great. I just hope they will focus on Bella's pain and how she can't possibly live without Edward. :)***

Thanks for reading. And コメントまたは rebuttals would be awesome!

ashesandwine I totally agree with!!!! Where is Bella's pain? Where are the Cullens ( I know that they go away on the book...but still they could have put somethiing)? I was a little disapointed with this trailer and altough I don't have anything against the director or the producers, they could have done much better:D That's just my opinion...I'm not judging anyone and please don't get offended by what I think!!!

mandapanda Twifanpire: that's fine. This article was a way to express what I felt about the trailer. I loved it, but i tend to get critical. And when I get critical, it seems that this trailer just didn't sum up New Moon like it should. :)

mandapanda ^^ Right :) I still liked the trailer, really, but when I get critical, that's when I get negative sometimes :)

cr6zym0nkeyiz i thought that since it new moon yes jacob is supposed to be in it more but i agree wit u that the bella and pain part= there almost none. i seen like one small part of bella in pain. it kinda seemed like every scene was wit jacob which im not complaining buh they couldve put a little of maybe angelea, mike, or jessica......i mean jacob was in there 24/7 almost....im surprised that they even put jane and victoria in there....thank god they did.. omg. yes. yes. yes....since jacob is in the trailer soooooo much i also think bella should have some interview thingy parts.....i didnt even knoe that was an interview at first i had to watch it a few times and then seen the translations....hahaha....XD buh i actually loved the traiiler or exclusive (whteva it was).......except for the interview ppart wit taylor lautner....thank u thank u thank u for putting that kiss at the beginning summit....meh love that.

gamegirl380 Holy crap! There's a second one out?!?! Where can I see it? TELL ME!!!!!!!!

mandapanda ^^well, it's the one that will be shown at Bandslam. But the ones that have been uploaded have been removed due to copyright. But this one still works :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrzA84wrrFQ&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcommunity%2Elivejournal%2Ecom%2Flion%5Flamb%2F5391638%2Ehtml%3Fpage%3D11&feature=player_embedded

camillia_ i totally understand you . summit could've put more of the story into the trailers . we all know that 90% of new moon is pratically the jacob & bella story , and only 10% of it is bella & edward . but still , they could've put a little bit more edward & the cullens in there , its true , they could've put more of bella's depression and pain in there too . isn't that one of the main ideas of the story and the movie , anyways .. bella's pain from the love of her life , sorry , i mean the love of her existance leaving her ? hopefully , they release a couple more trailers and put more into it , the next few months before new moon is released .

mandapanda ^^I'm glad you agree, but i do have to disagree with you on a point you made. 90% of New Moon is not Bella and Jacob. New Moon is 100% about Bella and Edward. Everything Bella does has some connection with Edward. When she buys the bikes, when she jumps off the cliff, when she goes to Jacob. It's all her attempt to distract her and to hear him. She knows she can hear Edward when she does reckless activities. So, she purposely endangers her life to hear him. He may not be there physically, but his presense is there. In her thoughts, in everything she sees. Every single thing reminds her of Edward.

nneellliii I totally agree with you!

“Don’t あなた really want to go?” Jenny asked. All freshmen were invited to attend an acquaintance party that will be held in the gym.

“I don’t feel like partying, Jen.”

“Come on, Nessie. It would be fun. Don’t tell me you’re still mad at me?”

I sighed. I am not mad, just annoyed out of my wits. I still can’t believe Jenny had pulled that cheap stunt in the cafeteria during lunch.

Starlit - REAL (Chapter 15)

His penetrating gaze made me shiver, a mixture of fear and anticipation. Anticipation for what would happen next, now that he’s finally shown himself. Shown me that he is real - TOO REAL.

My nightmares didn’t give his ethereal face justice. His light hair shone like spun gold, his brows were arched aristocratically, his nose perfectly sculpted, his full lips almost femininely enticing. I saved the best for Last – his eyes. They were like blue fire.

Never have I seen such an enigmatic beautiful face. There is an air of arrogance around him. Yet somehow, he seemed melancholic, quiet, and...

The 次日 Jacob and I went to the store and bought everything that was ジャンク food. Then we went to a movie store and got The Covenant, Sweeny Todd, and The Messenger. “Hey Jake what about バン Helsing?” I 発言しました trying to lighten up the mood. I looked over at him and he just stared blankly. “Chill, I was kidding.” He had gotten so serious and worried about me, I just missed seeing his big smile that showed all his snowy white teeth. We got ホーム and dumped every thing on the living room 表, テーブル and slipped in The Covenant. We wat ched every one of them. Suddenly I stood up forceful and...

Demetri left us in the reception area with Gianna, who was sitting behind her highly polished desk. She really was very good at her job. She still retained her detached look even with her curiosity as strong as it was.
Demetri was anxious to get back to the feast. “Do not leave until dark.”
I nodded, and Demetri quickly hurried away.

Kayla's Secret, Chapter 5

posted by twilight-7

Guys, I'm really sorry this chapter took so long to be 投稿されました but my internet decided to take a holiday last wednesday and came back today. So for that I'm posting two chapters on.
Enjoy.

I woke in the morning alone. I wasn’t surprised. Edward wouldn’t have come back in case Charlie decided to pop his head around the door. I wondered if Charlie hadn’t come to my room, how far would Edward have gone. I was pondering this while I looked for some breakfast. Charlie had gone to work early. Someone needed to speak to him at the station. He was running around in a rush and looked kind of panicked....

“So what does this mean, Alice?” I asked.
“I don’t know. Let’s just go back downstairs and see if the オオカミ are here. Maybe that’s why I can’t see the party. If anything new happens, then I’ll let あなた know. I promise,” she 発言しました heading out the door.
The whole family was gathered in Carlisle’s study, talking about the sudden disappearance of the party.
“Okay,” I said. I headed down the stairs. The first thing I did was look for Bella. I got down to where I left her. She wasn’t there. I walked to the キッチン to see...

"Benjamin, would あなた and Emmett please gather the remains of the 羊 and put them in the small 納屋 until after lunch?" He 発言しました as he lead the way into the house.

We made our way to the first animal that the children had found. I picked the poor beast up in my arms, attempting to keep the blood from getting on my clothing. I made my way over to the smaller of the barns as Ben turned to go to the field in 検索 of other casualties.

We managed to collected all 3 sheep, and made our way back to the house without ruining our clothing, and hopefully before all the lunch was gone....
