Jul 18 2008New 'Twilight' Trailer Establishes That Vampires Are Pale Supermen

twilight-teaser-trailer-2.jpg

Knowing that I'm a huge fan of vampires-with-Superman's-powers-based teen melodramas that have painfully obvious wirework, Kelly has sent over the second teaser trailer to Twilight. This latest preview has somehow managed to one-up itself in terms of looking like a rejected WB series. Even if Dawson's Creek suddenly involved vampires, they'd still be above including the line, "You brought a snack." I hope boyfriend vampire's response is, "Stop trying to drink my girlfriend's blood, bro!"

SECOND!

FIRST!

ugghhhh the EW cover looks SO bad.

This movie might suck.

So the script is somehow even sillier than the actual book was (which I enjoyed, FYI,) the acting is roughly on par with a high school theater class, and... I'm still vaguely excited. But only vaguely.

wow thats "maybe" a renter at best.

I DRINK YOUR GIRLFIREND'S MILKSHAKE!! Wait, uh, BLOOD! No, uh...

Oh crap.

Alls I know is there ain't no vampire sex in the first three books. WTF!

Woah, im sure that cheesy dialogue wasnt in the book (which i liked). I think i might just wait for this to reach the bargain bin...(im thinking 2 weeks after the dvd release, 3 at the most?)

wow... that looks... terrible.

almost makes that movie about the flies in space look acceptable...

:/

@Abel: that line was in the book in exactly the same context as it was in that scene.

There are PLENTY of cheesy lines in the book. Still can't wait for the movie, tho....

you were right on about the rejected WB series. that looks awful. lol

I love the books. LOVE. Which is why I'm disappointed at how extremely cheesy the movie looks, and the fact that they picked an ugly guy to play Edward. I really hope its better than the trailers make it out to be.

Well, that sucks. Too bad I liked the book too...

@ Tina - uh, no its not. She does the how old are you thing in a car, not a forest and by the looks of this that is taken from the same scene. Those bits are not that near to each other.

Um, Twilight fans, remember that the dialogue in the Twilight series IS as cheesy as it is in this movie.

Now that yoy guys will be able to listen to the dialogue being told aloud, you're finally going to realize how cheesy it truly sounds.

This show looks and sounds horrible in every way. I've considered reading the book, but if it's anything like this...nah.

so nice film, it seemed appeared on http://multiraciallove.com . would you love to enjoy more details about it there, you may be surprised to enjoy more as you love to

Jumpin_J has given me my Line of the Day.

Its a queen ass homo trying to act straight. Ya this one will suck ass...

this trailer really looks terrible. Im not saying this because Im busting on fan girls or anything but damn the trailer just honestly looks really bad.

what the fuck is up all these goth emo rejects hangin out here...grab ur book and piss off bk in ur cellar where u can read ur shitty vampire crap and listen to my chemical romance....

the only ever acceptable vampire movie was nosferatu. since 1923 nothing was that good or even close.

1: LEARN ENGLISH.

2: If you want to play the movie buff card, you'll have to reference more than just Nosferatu chump (and I bet you've never even seen it). Herzog's Nosferatu and Dreyer's Vampyr at the very least should be on anyone's poser list.

Of course, you've never heard of them because what you know about films could fit on the back of a stamp. u r dumass hoo try to lok coool on websight.

Anne Rice writes better vampires.

This looks Craptastic, PASSSSS, will never watch it unless I am strapped to a chair and the tv is stuck on the channel that decides to play it. And you know it will be the WB

Still going to see it....

I'm not promising I'll be sober when I go.

Vampires suck. They suck almost as bad as that pun I just did.

Seriously though, why is it that vampires seem to have their own GENRE in movies and literature? What the F is so great about them? They're lame.

Is this a made for TV movie? Why were the Vampires out in daylight? This movie looks like a major FAIL.

/weak

It's a movie based on a YA book written by a Mormon. What did you really expect?! It's filled with cheesy lines (even without saying them out loud) and a very predictable story line but I loved it anyway.

I love the guy they chose as Edward. I don't like the girl they chose as Bella but she'll do. She says her lines awkwardly at times. But when she's trying to be hysterical, she gets shrieky which is annoying much like her character is.

Ah, how I wish Stephenie Meyer just made a book out of her other book, The Host. It's an adult book. It has less cheese. And the story line is less than predictable. It would have made for a better movie but I think the tweens would start World War 3 if they didn't make this into a movie.

James is totally gonna be a scene stealer.

@ Abel--Tina is correct, in Twilight (Book 1), the Cullens are playing baseball with Bella in tow, when a trio of hunting vampires appears: James, Victoria, and Laurent. They are puzzled as to why Edward has brought Bella along--since humans are normally only a food source to these guys--and one of them says, puzzled, "You brought a snack?"

As for the rest of the scenes, of course there will be some condensing and shuffling from book to screen; the book is approximately 500 pages, and a 500-page screenplay would translate into a 4-5 hour movie.

I am amazed by the number of people proclaiming that the book is lame who haven't actually read it. Whether the movie sucks as bad as its casting apparently does, remains to be seen. Stephanie Meyer is a phenomenal storyteller and most readers finish each book in under 48 hours.

That dude is a straight up fag. He is really playing a straight character? Wow man he comes off like a complete and utter homo in the trailer and posters. No way am I watching this shit!

Book is decent, not great, not good, plain decent. I know one thing for sure though, the main dude was not supposed to come off like a flaming homo in the book. This dude really sucks at acting, wow man he must not have read the book.

Its not brokeback mountain tool boy, drop the homo looks every 2 seconds. The gay eye he gives non stop bothers me.

I don't like my vampires to be whinny, emo bitches.

"I know what you are! You're so fast, so strong, your skin is so pale and cold and your hair is so...volumnised."

^^lol. It makes me laugh when she says the pale part. She is just as white as he is.

hmmm this movie doesn't look good just by the trailer I've never read the book either I would love to watch Nosferatu and for other vampire movies I loved interview with a Vampire and Dracula 2000 (I think thats the name of it there sooo many Dracula movies)

not at all like the book.

i dont remember the security guard part
