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

posted by mandapanda

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. 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!

I woke up! My head hurt ! I remind of Kellan leaving me!

Part 26

I couldn’t stay with vampires. That was insane. I shook my head in answer to Carlisle’s Вопрос “It’s impractical” I sighed. “Why?” he asked. “It’s dangerous and I sleep and eat and…” He cut me off gently “Wait. Take a moment to collect your thoughts. Come up with a Список and we’ll go through it.” I stayed in his arms quietly and made my list. I nodded when I was done. He smiled encouragingly “Go ahead” I decided to start with one that had to do with his family, rather than my safety. “I have to eat and sleep it would be a significant incontinence for...

Emmett's POV

My chest ached from were my сердце was beating against it. My throat was sore probably from all my screaming. I haven't screamed so much in my life. I felt a soft hand on my arm and what felt like a damp cloth on my forehead. I was very soothing. The pain wasn't there anymore, I felt the aftermath of it though. My Кости hurt, my chest ached, and my throat is sore. I was afraid to open my mouth to speak, I was afraid if I did, the screams would start again. I settled for opening my eyes, a large room...

Alice

Jasper touched my shoulder lightly so that I would face him. "Are Ты alright?" I asked him, holding him tightly. He didn't hold me back. He stiffened. When I looked into his eyes, they were hard and for once, I could read nothing in them. "You know what happened?" he asked me, as if he already knew. I nodded "Are Ты alright?" I asked again. He looked at my forehead sourly, refusing to meet my eyes. He shook his head "I killed a man. You're worried about me?" He demanded brusquely.

I let go of him and sat down, moving my head so that he wouldn't see how his words had hurt me. Of course,...

The train station was packed. It was dark out so we didn't have to worry about attracting attention. или we wouldn't have if Jasper wasn't eying everyone suspiciously. When we were alone, he's always preferred to stay behind me. Now, he stayed a step ahead and kept looking back at me as if he thought I would disappear или run into danger. "Nothing is going to happen." I assured him, so quietly no one else could have a chance of hearing. "There are no other Вампиры here." He relaxed slightly. He still looked wary, but not so paranoid.

He left me momentarily to buy our tickets, bringing the...

Leah called that afternoon. She сказал(-а) she was babysitting Claire and wanted me to come hang out with them. She was watching Claire until ten and Claire would be in постель, кровати at eight. It sounded nice. In a weird way. I figured I was as безопасно, сейф there as I was with the vampires. As I was wondering how to go about obtaining the Cullens' permission, Alice skipped in. She looked curious "Your future just disappeared" She сказал(-а) matter-of-factly. Edward was passing by the hall and paused. Bella wasn't near, so he had full access to my mind. "You don't have to ask permission. Ты are our guest. Just let...

The Jasper Diaries

*I did not write this*
Dear Diary,

So today was like any other day. Almost killing every human who starts to smell too good, toying with people’s emotions and kicking Emmett’s butt at chess. Ты know same old, same old.

Though, today was exceptionally hilarious. I was playing a game of chess with Emmett, with 9 boards, and I was winning, naturally. So because I was winning Emmett got all upset and broke my all time fav chess piece, the little night on his little horse. God I was mad about that, he knew it was my fav and he had to go and kill it! So I went and did something a LOT worse! Haha...

Missing Ты could turn from pain to pleasure, if I knew Ты were missing me too..

"I feel the Half of Me Missing when You're Not Around.. I Miss Ты with every Breathe.. Ты mean the World to Me.. или May be even More..." Jake whispered in My Ears on the Phone & a shiver ran down through My Spine

I've been floating these days in the Air. I feel hideous 'cause I can't Help Smiling and So I feel an Urge to Hide My After-All-She-is-Insane Expressions. My Heartbeats weren't Normal these Days and so was My Body Temperature. My Nights were Sleepless..

Criticism

posted by melikhan

Despite Twilight's popularity, the Книги have received criticism. Stephen King stated, "the real difference [between J.K. Rowling and Meyer] is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer, and Stephenie Meyer can't write worth a darn. She's not very good."However, King understood the appeal of the series, adding, "People are attracted by the stories, by the pace and in the case of Stephenie Meyer, it's very clear that she's Письмо to a whole generation of girls and opening up kind of a безопасно, сейф joining of Любовь and sex in those books. It's exciting and it's thrilling and it's not particularly threatening...

The phone conversation took a long time. At one point I heard Bella say "Yes I know she hasn't even met Sam yet" in a slightly exasperated voice. Edward must have heard something I didn't form the other end because he took the phone and сказал(-а) "Do not ever talk to my wife in that tone of voice Jacob Black... She's a human in a house full of Вампиры with Волколаки visiting frequently. Be reasonable... Thank Ты Jacob... If Ты would like I will give her contact information and she can keep in touch if she wants to." He started Письмо something on a notepad near the phone then сказал(-а) goodbye...

Alice wouldn’t let me go until she and Rosalie had дана me a complete makeover; I didn’t complain though, it was nice to have girl time. Jacob gave me a dazzling smile as I walked back into the living room a full час later, he and Emmet and jasper had probably been chatting about some new turbo engine.
“Wow Ты look... amazing,” Jacob breathed as I walked into his open arms while Emmet wolf...

"Ok sorry about that" Jacob сказал(-а) to me "Can Ты phase back?" I found I could. I heard Jasper mutter "I wonder..." then he spoke louder with purpose "You phase when you're angry right?" Jacob nodded "She doesn't. I think she phases when one of Ты are upset. She does have to be relaxed to phase back but so do all the Волколаки in the room." They all found this interesting.

"Did phasing hurt this time?" Embry asked me "Not as much" I lied "Is Quil alright?" I asked hesitantly. I didn't want to sound heartless nor did I want to be nosy. They hesitated too "Yeah... a friend of his fell...

The huge vampire spoke for the first time. Utterly terrifying. "Are Ты human?" he demanded, eyes wide. "Yes" I answered, too defensively. The huge one's mate, the one who had kidnapped me, started making a Список out loud:

1. Her eyes change to Золото when she's around us and they turn red when Bella is the closest to her (I hadn't known that.)

2. She picks up a small bit of the gifts around her.

3. Her skin becomes a few shades paler when she's near us.

4. She's a bit too strong and fast for a human (I added that these were also only around vampires.)

At this point Emmett came near me and sat...

New Moon, chapter thirteen, New.

posted by New_Moon_Master

Her heartbeat fast by the second. I watched her from the chair that I sat in Далее to the bed. It had been three days. She had not moved a muscle. My family stood at the Стена behind me, saying nothing, not even breathing. I had not spoken to them. I hated them. They had gone behind my back, and turned Bella into...what? I did not know. A monster without a soul? I could not picture Bella as that, but the thought was excrusiating. It was almost over, almost all her human scent gone. She smelled amazing, the same yet differant. Sweeter, and I did not want to kill her, which was very odd for me....

"Bella...it's good to see you..." I pulled away and he was starring at Alice, who was standing several feet behind me. We had just arrived, after what was supposed to be a twenty four час drive but was only eleven. Alice had gone over twice the Опубликовано speed the entire way. Rosalie and Emmett-thank goodness-weren't there at the moment. Esme, and Jasper stood in the room behind...

I jumped at the sound of her voice. She was back already? But I couldn't focus on that for long. What had Jacob just said? Had I really heard right?
"Over my dead body!" he rowred at her.
He took a step вперед and tried to pull me over to him by my waist. Alice's hand grabbed mine, and I started to get scared that a tug-o-war would begin. That would be painful. Jake growled. I looked back at Alice. She was glaring at him in such a terrifying way...she honestly scared me a little. She yanked on my arm, and I came flying towards her, out of Jacob's grasp. She flung me behind her body. My mind...
