After an almost comedically abrupt hype-building glimpse last week, the first teaser for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 has arrived online in full.  It's probably a moot point, though, since this trailer was attached to The Hunger Games, and it looks as though pretty much everybody in America went to see that novel adaptation, meaning y'all have probably already laid eyes on Kristen Stewart as the now-vampiric Bella Swan.

Quick question: What's the biggest movie released by Summit Entertainment outside of the massive Twilight franchise?  It's Red, the 2010 action-comedy following older-than-average assassins led by Bruce Willis.  The film grossed $90.3 million domestically and, thanks to its internationally recognizable cast and universal language of explosions, $199.0 million total worldwide.  Naturally, a sequel's been in the works for the last year, and that Red sequel now has a director in the form of Dean Parisot.

Next month, Lionsgate is releasing The Hunger Games, a hopeful franchise-starter based on the first in series of phenomenally popular young adult novels by Suzanne Collins.  For the past four years, Summit Entertainment has been quite profitably pumping out Twilight features based on the ridiculously popular young adult novels by Stephenie Meyer.  The last installment, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2, is due in November.  Lionsgate recently bought Summit Entertainment.  You see where they're going with this, right?

Though any description of the story marks Warm Bodies as standard fare in the now-ubiquitous literary genre "Young Adult Supernatural Romance," the movie has the pedigree to transcend any Twilight-y associations.  Months ago we saw a promo image for the film, but the first image officially released online suggests that Warm Bodies will attempt make zombies brooding and sexy, with Nicholas Hoult as a pale, high-cheekboned undead shuffler in the rain.  But the novel by Isaac Marion on which the film is based suggests plenty of potential.  The story follows Hoult as R, a zombie in a postapocalyptic wasteland who begins an odd relationship with a young woman played by Teresa Palmer after consuming her boyfriend's brains.

Hold on to your butts, everybody who has been waiting years to see Orson Scott Card's most beloved novel make it to the big screen.  Ender's Game is going down, and there's no shortage of casting news to prove it.  The latest concerns a supporting role amongst the kids at Battle School, the orbiting military space station where pint-sized military geniuses are taught the ways of war.  With Asa Butterfield ready to go as the tiny military messiah Andrew "Ender" Wiggin, Hailee Steinfeld is not in active talks to play Petra Arkanian, one of Ender's closest friends and confidantes at the space-based boot camp.

Wow, Ender's Game is really, actually, for realsies happening.  Orson Scott Card's 1984 novel could clearly make a great movie, but one simply never got off the ground.  Now, writer-director Gavin Hood's take on the material has a release date and is right in the middle of casting.  A Two weeks ago we learned that Asa Butterfield had scored the lead role of Andrew "Ender" Wiggin, and today we have confirmation that the Hugo star will indeed head off to Battle School, as well as some nebulous information on which recognizable actor could play the crucial supporting role of Colonel Graff.

20th Century Fox's Singapore division has released a new international trailer that's being dubbed a "mood piece" and a new behind-the-scenes featurette for The Darkest Hour.  The film is based on a premise with which literally anyone can identify.  Just imagine: you're a good-looking young person out partying at the hottest club with your equally good-looking friends on a trip to Moscow Russia, when suddenly, interdimensional aliens composed of energy materialize as if from nowhere and start vaporizing everybody, precipitated your fight for survival in apocalyptic circumstances.  The mood piece will definitely communicate the emotional resonance, while the featurette familiarizes audiences with the cast of characters, played by Emile Hirsch, Olivia Thirlby, Rachael Taylor, and Max Minghella.

Hey look, everybody, it's three more stills from The Perks of Being a Wallflower.  Summit Entertainment scored a massive franchise adapting a novel series about vampires and sexual repression, but this take on a youth-oriented book is a whole different bag.  Stephen Chbosky's epistolary novel, first published in 1999, has a very passionate fanbase for whom the story of high school alienation and longing struck a profoundly resonant chord, but there is nary a werewolf to be found.  Instead, the story follows an introverted freshman who, in the wake of his best friend's suicide, struggles to find his social scene and, of course, falls helplessly in love in the midst of his confusion and angst.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 is mere hours away from playing in front of sold out crowds all over the nation, and with that in mind, let's all ride the anticipatory gravy train just a tiny bit longer by checking out a new clip from the film.  The waters are probably about as chummed as they could possibly be to ensure a massive turnout for the penultimate Twilight, but Summit Entertainment has nonetheless dropped a last-minute clip that takes a different tack than most of its predecessors.  To wit: Kristen Stewart is nowhere to be found, as Bella's presumably recovering from her vampire-birth.  Instead, this 30-second clip features Robert Pattinson, Ashley Greene, and Jackson Rathbone going up against a bunch of pissed-off werewolves in an attempt to defend the Cullen household.

In just over a year, the money-teat that is the Twilight franchise will be more or less dried up for Summit Entertainment, as The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 hits in November of 2012.  Not to be deterred by the closure of its flagship franchise, Summit is making all manner of moves to establish big, marketable properties, and one of note is Warm Bodies, a zombie love-story/comedy based on the recently-published novel by Isaac Marion.  Though the film has been described as a combination of Twilight and Shaun of the Dead, with plenty of comedy, the first promotional image has popped up online, and it sports a strikingly Twilight vibe.  The image constitutes our first look at leads Teresa Palmer and Nicholas Hoult.  The film takes place in a more or less postapocalyptic future, and Hoult plays a zombie in existential crisis who falls in love after he eats the brains and absorbs the memories of a beautiful military daughter's boyfriend.
