Сумерки (серия романов) Article: What is Summit Doing With the Trailers?

I'm sure, by now, most of Ты 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 Комментарии first! It's great to see snippets of new scenes! We got to see:
- the волк 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 еще 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 или 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, или 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 Показать 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 Книги 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 Показать 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 или the cast. I Любовь 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 Комментарии или 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.

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!
