With four blockbusters in the bag and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 ready to cap off the hugely profitable film series, Summit Entertainment could probably market the last film in the franchise with nothing more than classified ads reading, "One last Twilight, November 16th." Nonetheless, there will be giant marketing campaign to ensure that the second half is Breaking Dawn is appropriately huge, and today's two new images are but a hint of the promotional fatigue that will set in by Thanksgiving.
Ladies and gentlemen – but let's be honest here, mostly ladies – here we have a teaser to a teaser trailer for a movie based on half of a book. By which I mean to say that a video excerpt from the teaser trailer for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2.
It's a really quick look, clocking in at under twenty seconds and consisting of basically five shots. Not a word of dialogue is spoken, nor does anything overly dramatic happen, but presumably fans of Stephenie Meyer's novels and the films will see much to get them psyched.
What with the big happenings like interspecies marriage and vampire baby-making, so far the marketing for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 has been focused squarely on Bella Swan/Cullen and Edward Cullen, the newlyweds played by Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. Yesterday, for example, the first official clip from the film teased their honeymoon, with their pre-coital arrival at a South American love nest. Today, though, Summit Entertainment has dropped a promotional spot that puts the focus on werewolf also-ran Jacob Black, played once again by erstwhile Sharkboy Taylor Lautner.
Mostly, Jacob is making like a downtrodden Charlie Brown in this spot. Understandable, given that his lady love is gets a) hitched and b) knocked up by a filthy vampire with inferior abdominal muscles. Towards the end, though, he starts getting his righteous werewolf on, going toe to toe with some other murderous werewolves.
At San Diego Comic-Con in July, a jam-packed Hall H was treated to several clips during the panel for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1. At the first sight of the honeymoon bed – a neatly-made, unremarkable bed on which vampire-human copulation would later happen – the crowd let out plenty of catcalls and suggestive sounds. Now you too can growl, "Ohhhh," from the comfort of your own home, as Summit Entertainment has released the first official clip from the penultimate film in the Twilight movie franchise.
It's a truncated version of the aforementioned Comic-Con clip, with Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson as Bella and Edward, respectively, arriving at their South American honeymoon love-nest, a far cry from the overcast environs of Forks, Washington. All the Hall H excitement was based on the fact that these two exceedingly good looking people have been repressing their sexual desires for three consecutive movies, but now that they're safely within the bounds of marriage, they'll be rogering roundly in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1.
I have something in common with Jacob Black, the lovestruck lupine teen played in the Twilight films by Taylor Lautner. When I found out the love of my life was marrying a vampire, I also ran off into the rain, removed my shirt, and turned into a giant wolf. That's just one of the things you'll see in the first trailer for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1, the penultimate adaptation of the hugely popular novels by Stephenie Meyer. Also on display: the wedding and subsequent vampire-on-human lovemaking between Kristen Stewart's Bella and Robert Pattinson's Edward. If interspecies eroticism doesn't get your attention, I don't know what will.
Mark your calendars so that you may remember this auspicious day for all time: the very first footage from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 has debuted online. Unfortunately for fans, it is a tease of a tease, providing a glimpse at mere seconds of the adaptation of Stephenie Meyers' final Bella-and-Edward-centric vampire novel. Fortunately for fans, those few seconds depict Kristen Stewart as Bella walking down the aisle to meet Edward, played once again by Robert Pattinson, in holiest matrimony. Go on, you know you want a peek at Bella's wedding dress.
With famously lusted-after stars like Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner, the penultimate entry in the Twilight franchise is not wanting for pretty faces to slap on a poster. For the very first The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 teaser poster, however, Summit Entertainment is trusting that, by now, the world knows just how good looking the actors are. Instead, the poster consists of one surprisingly literal and very teasing image. Take a look, but expect no glittery vampires, shirtless werewolves, or pensive humans.
For three films, the Twilight franchise has been all about restraint and sublimated sexuality, but in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1, Bella and Edward will finally get down to the business of getting down, so to speak. Two images from the much-anticipated sex scene between Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have leaked online, so if you want a glimpse at two exceptionally good-looking people "bumping uglies," take a look at the two pictures over at Movieweb.
Apparently, in 'Breaking Dawn', the werewolf character of Jacob Black imprints upon the newborn offspring of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, essentially falling in love with the tyke. Novelist Stephanie Meyer is apparently considering writing a series of spin-off novels featuring the ongoing story of Renesmee and Jacob. Since the hugely profitable Twilight film franchise comes to a close with the two-part Breaking Dawn story, Summit Entertainment would doubtless be interested in adapting the potential spin-off into a series starring the frequently shirtless Taylor Lautner.
November of 2011 can’t come soon enough for those looking forward to Breaking Dawn, the latest chapter in the Twilight Saga, correct?
Well how about a early present for all of you courtesy of MTV and Summit Entertainment. How would you like a first glimpse at the Volturi on the set of Breaking Dawn?
