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!

Sorry this one is so short and it took so long to put up. like i 発言しました i'm a horrible typer.

Chapter Three- Stranger

The シャワー was hot. I didn’t take long because I knew he was waiting. When I got out there was a bandage on the sink counter. Supposedly he left this for my head. I put it on the cut carefully, so it wont smell as good to him. I’d have to be careful on cutting myself around him. As I walked back to the ソファー, ソファ to find Keith looking at the food.
When he saw me walk in he said, ”How do あなた stand eating this?” I shrugged, “ I...

Bella's alternative- chapter 2

While Bella is unconscience Jacob is still with the boys so he doesn't really know that bella passed out. Christy is a new girl in town, a nurse so when she sees Bella she helps her feel a little bit better. Jacob finally runs into Bella and asks Christy what was wrong with her. "Nothing serious she just hit her head, does she fall down a lot because she doesn't really feel shocked at all?!"
"huh, yeah she tripps over a lot," Jacob sighed awkwardly. [i]Jake, pull yourself together man, what's wrong with you? it must be the weather. Who is this girl anyway?[i] After that 日 on Bella and Christy...

Breaking Dawn: Can They Film It?

posted by laureng114

Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse are already in the works, but what about Breaking Dawn? Unlike the first three books, this one may pose a problem. In this book (spoiler!) Bella goes through a transformation that makes her inhumanly beautiful like the rest of the Cullens and she has a beautiful girl that grows at an alarmingly fast rate. The 質問 is, can they really film these things? In my opinion, Kristen Stewart is just as pretty as Ashley Greene and Nikki Reed. Not only that, when she is standing 次 to Robert Pattinson あなた do not notice a huge difference between the two like in the books. Another problem would be Renesmee. How are they going to cast a girl that grows that fast without using any type of アニメーションまたは graphics? Well this is just an opinion from a concerned twilighter and i hope that others feel the same way.

Felt like I've been howling for - forever (?).
It seems like it's all I did these past few months.Geez...MONTHS!

Howling in grief, in desperation. Does she care? I don't think so. She's happy - happy beyond the borders of sanity, I realized bitterly.

I pushed forwrd with all my might, as fast as these four legs can. The bloodsucker drove even faster, I thought disdainfully.I howled once more.

I could hardly see their vehicle - the vehicle that would bring her to her doom - a doom she happily embraced.

I will kill you! I swear I will! I vowed.
I wished with all my ハート, 心 the bloodsucker could still...

sorry its so short! doing a change in my writin. instead of skippin a whole chunk of the story im startin off exactly where I stopped! yea me!

I used the first spell that came into my mind, the one I use to freeze someone, no matter where they are. It worked perfectly, and he was アナと雪の女王 in mid-jump, with his mouth open revealing very sharp looking teeth.

When I was done I breifly remembered giving a charm to Bella that would protect her from any harm または evil, but that wasn't what was filling my mind. What was filling it was WHAT THE HELL IS ALEX DOING HERE?! and in the Cullens living room, about...

As あなた will have noticed I 愛 cliffhangers. I 愛 to write them but I felt slightly mean after giving あなた like three in a row. So here, I have 投稿されました this on early. It wasn't supposed to go on til later but as I 発言しました I felt mean. So here it is.

Emmett was obviously taller than me. Edward would never have hurt me. He had calculated his attack well. He would soar over me and get Emmett in the face. But not if I got Edward first. As soon as Edward’s feet left the floor I was up in the air. We met mid-air crashing into each other. I put all my strength and force (and possibly used some telekinesis)...

Surprise for Bella - One Shot

こんにちは guys.
This is a short piece that I wrote for the contest, but apparently it's not going to be happening, so I decided to post it anyways.

I'm sure I could have expanded it, but I was trying to stay in the 1500 word limit, and I think I like it better this way.

“Are your eyes closed” He whispered from behind, sending shivers down my neck.

“Yes!” I grumbled, my hands on 上, ページのトップへ of his, which were covering my eyes.

“Promise” He whispered again

“I promise!” I laughed , my body tingling from the contact.

He dropped his hands and I felt him 移動する from behind to face me, I'm assuming to make...

I was in the Cullen's living room again with Bella. After I told Sam a huge fight happened and now the pack was スプリット, 分割 in two, and Jacob had his own pack with Leah, Seth, Embry and Quil in it. Since I was Seth's imprint and had no problem what so ever with the Cullens I was now staying there and was to protect Bella while Jacob's pack circulated the area, and Sam's pack was protecting their ホーム on the Quiluete rez.

I didn't make あなた guys wait too long, did I? If I did I am truly sorry. Here we go then, Chapter 20. Will this series ever end?

The first chance I got I visited Charlie. I got a shock when I visited Charlie. Jacob and Billy were there, Jacob sitting on the hospital chair and Billy in his wheelchair. The biggest shock was that Charlie was sitting up, laughing and joking. This man had just had a fit yesterday and here he was telling dirty jokes to his best friend and his son. Jacob was the first to see me standing in the doorway and watching them with wide eyes.
“Hey Kayla,” he greeted me with...

Ch 3

All I remember was that I couldn't breathe and I blacked out.

Then, I had a nightmare. I was in the meadow. Edward and I. We were intwined. He was キス my neck and I was panting. Then, he just disappeared. He was just gone. Nowhere to be found. I was crying. I couldn't breathe, again. I didn't know what was happening. I couldn't see. Everything was a blur. Then, Victoria appeared. She was running at me. Then, I screamed.

I had woken up to find Charlie sitting 次 to me, shaking me furiously, trying to wake me up.

"Are あなた okay? What's the mateur? Where is he? あなた tell me where he...

Unchained Melody: Chapter Two

posted by SaraE

"Sometimes 愛 isn't enough"

Those were the last words I ever heard Jacob Black say. At first, I didn’t care. For three years I didn’t care. I was too dark and thirsty to care about any of my past. I almost forgot some of it. I almost forgot him.

It’s been ten years and those fears of mine came true. The Volturi wanted me to 登録する them and I refused. But they didn’t play nice. No, they didn’t, not at all. Instead of letting me walk away, sorry that I had refused their offer, they gave me an ultimatum. Either I joined them または the Cullen’s died. This time, they didn’t find a way out....

Twilight Becoming too Much?

posted by SaveMe620

Fanmade Poster made by me

Hasn't anyone else really noticed that Twilight may be going a little overboard? It just seems that with all the attention and merchandise and whatnot, it's becoming もっと見る like another High School Musical movie.
Not Good.
Now that New Moon is coming, all these actors and musicians want to part of all the hype.
I just wish that Twilight stayed it's small Indie film. That's what I loved most about it was that they got a lot of actors that hardly anyone knew.
I knew who Cam, Edi, Rob, Kristen, Taylor, Billy Burk, Kellen, Nikki were before Twilight.
But what about あなた guys?
There's a ton of people...

They had all told me of the Volturi and what they do, and I told them all about me and my special abilities. Oh yea, Edward had rushed Bella back to her house the 分 he heard Peter and Charlotte's thoughts, knowing that they weren't like him and his family. Apparently he had taken her back to her house to her father, where no doubt Charlie had gone berserk.

Enjoy!!

I ran home. I didn’t want to delay this anymore. I was already thinking of turning back and running into Edward’s waiting arms but I knew I had to do this. I had to 表示する Charlie that I wasn’t taking any of his crap. If I had to leave then I would. I got a shock when I saw his クルーザー parked at the house. I was hoping I could pack my case and write a note saying I was leaving. I didn’t really want to do it when he was there. I opened the door as quietly as I could and sneaked inside. I shut the door slowly and carefully so it didn’t creak and tip-toed across to the stairs. I...

This is short but I just wanted to get through it quickly. I didn't want to write it but it had to happen.

My brilliant plan that sounded absolutely brilliant wasn’t so amazing when I sat and thought about it. It seemed quite simple when I first thought of it. What was the only way Charlie would have no control over me? The answer was my mother. My plan was to go back to England, where my mother was, and Charlie could no longer have a say in what I did. Edward would follow me and he could bring his whole family to ロンドン if he wanted to. But the もっと見る I thought about it, the もっと見る I knew it...

“Bella.” Edward said, nudging me.

“Wha?!” I jumped, immediately closing my eyes again. “What time is it?” I asked, referring to the bright sun that managed to find its way through the tinted windows.

“Around 10:30” He said, as he turned off the highway, down a bumpy dirt road, causing me to jump in my seat.

“This...looks...romantic..” I laughed to myself, looking out the window at the thousands of trees surrounding us.

“Well we're not there yet” He laughed to himself, taking my hand in his. “It's sorta...out of the way. I figured privacy would be important,...

As あなた know I 発言しました I did two other versions of Chapter 10. Foreveryours asked if I could post them on and I thought 'Why not?' so here it is. あなた will see some similaraties between them and Chapter 10 but あなた know I kinda merged them together to make Chapter 10. These versions will not be accounted for in the continuation of the Kayla series. They are 投稿されました on here entirely for your interest as to how things could have turned out. They both start out the same way as Chapter 10. So here it goes!
