Twilight la saga Article: What is Summit Doing With the Trailers?

posted by mandapanda

I'm sure, da now, most of te 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 commenti first! It's great to see snippets of new scenes! We got to see:
- the lupo 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 più 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 o 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, o 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 mostra 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 libri 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 mostra 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 o the cast. I Amore 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 commenti o 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 in a rash movement . I couldn't remember what had happened last night. I remembered only Edward's hard, cold body against mine and then it went blank. I walked into the living room looking for Edward but i didn't see him. then i felt cold arms around me .
" Good morning Amore how did te sleep ?" Edward detto with so much Amore in his voice .
" What happened ? " I detto still confused .I turned myself to look at him . He looked confused , hurt , pained , and sad , then it became calm.
" What do te remember last , my Amore ? " He detto still confused as of i was .

Guys I know some of te don’t read this that much because te think it is kinda boring to te but it is a great story just if I don’t get più visualizzazioni and commenti I will not write.
I have not written because my sister gave birth. I am an aunt now. I needed to help them get ready to go to Pennsylvania to see her mom. The baby is a boy. My sister and I have the same father but not the same mother. My aunt gave birth, too.

Bella moved back to California with her friends. The Jonas family knows the Cullen family in case te get confused. Bella as a vampire can collect the power of other vampires...

I was tearing at the female, also taking note of Bella's faint heartbeat. The female shreiked, and tried to throw me off. When she did, she tore out of the house with pieces missing from a leg. I followed her.
"No! I'll kill her the first chance I'll get," she screamed. "You can't guard her forever! You'll see!"
She ran into the trees, me in hot pursuit.

I spent the last three days watching the babies, trying to figure out what else they can do. I've descovered that since they have both vampire and werewolf genes, they developed faster than Renesmee did. During an "experiment," I told Casper to sit in another room and try to attack me from across the hall.
The cold wave hit me about three secondi later.
"Daddy, I can't get into Bella's mind!" Karrie once thought to me. They took on Renesmee's habit of calling everyone da their names.
"Karrie, stop trying so hard. Bella has a sheild," I told her.
"Like Jeffery?" Karrie asked, surprised....

Letters From Edward Chapter 10

Chapter 10.
Shopping Around:

We got out and Gemma locked the car behind us. We started walking towards the mall doors. As we started getting closer I could see Mia, Dean, Phoebe, Marissa and some other boys I didn’t recognise standing outside the side door. Laughing and smoking.
“Uh, let’s go” I looked at them, and then quickly looked away. We started walking, a little faster than we normally would. I kept my eyes straight ahead focusing only in front of me, but in the corner of my eye I saw Gemma look towards them. Why, Gemma, why? I thought to myself. I picked up my pace, Gemma seemed...

Chapter 17: Awakening Nessie’s POV

    My eyes slowly opened. I noticed that I could see a tiny bit clearer and my sense of smell was a little più finely tuned. I didn’t feel exhausted o weak anymore and there was no pain. I looked down in a panic, I was wearing different clothes and my stomach was flat. That is when I realized that I must be dead.
“Renesmee?” Jacob asked his voice breaking
    As I sat up in confusion he was at my side. He was looking at me so strangely.

I was now the human equivalent of six months pregnant, and watching a small grey shape moving on a monitor. My child. My little baby.

My mom, Esme, and Jacob were here with me too. Aside from Carlisle, of course.

"There he is. Speaking of which, I presume te and Jacob would like to know the gender?" Carlisle asked. I didn't immediately answer. I was too mesmerized.

"Renesmee?" Jacob asked me.
"Yes," I managed to say.

"You have a little girl. Well, not yet, but te will."

A little girl.

Esme sighed contentedly, almost as fascinated as I was.

From downstairs, Alice squealed.

Renesmee

How could he? The Amore of my life, now ready to rip the thing I feel I MUST keep away from me. I could hear sobs outside the door. I could hear sobs inside this room. We were both hurt. Before he closed the door, I threw something unthinkingly at him. It's now outside with him right now. It's something that probably hurt him più than anything else in the whole world. It was my ring. I was now crying. I felt naked without it. My cuore felt ripped to shreds. It felt like a werewolf clawed at it. It probably looked like the half of Emily's face, only it may never heal.

Was that my alarm? I reached out to turn it off. I didn’t need to wake up; I had no school to go to. I touched a square box that was way too big to be my alarm and didn’t feel like anything that should be in my room.
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.

Hey!!! This is my first Story so take it easy!! Please comment!! And I'll shut up now!!

I tried to call Jacob today...no luck. I don't know what to do, ever since the Cullens came back he hasn't talked to me. Jake wont answer the phone when i call and when somebody does pick up, Billy usually says that he's not home o that he's asleep.

But tody was different. When i called Billy picked up and detto "Jake doesn't want to talk to right now Bella. Sorry." Then the line went dead.

Edward say not to worry about it. That he'll get over it...eventually.

It was dark outside, and I was in my room, finishing off some homework. My C.D player was on loud as I worked, but that didn’t matter. I was the only one in. It was late, around 10; 45pm, but I wasn’t tired. Mum and Dad had gone up to Grandpa Carlisle and Grandma Esme’s house to talk with everyone about something important. They had suggested I stay home and study. It was a huge surprise when Jacob turned up.
“Whoa Jake, it’s you!”
“Oh my God, really?!” he laughed, and I found myself laughing too.
“What I mean is; why are te here at nearly eleven pm when my parents are out?...

I flipped open my phone. Alice sounded angry on the other line.
"I saw te returning to Forks. Why? Bella's cuore won't heal in time. I see her screaming in the night right now. And yesterday I saw her do almost nothing interesting. She DID trip," Alice scolded me.
"Alice, I can't do this anymore. I can't. I-"
"Listen to me right now! If te walk back into Bella's life, she'll kill herself. I can't believe te want to go back, like nothing happened."
The line went dead. Most of my weird vampire dreams are reality. Bella screams in her sleep now. She'd kill herself if I ever appear. All my fault....

Rosalie had been especially difficult to be around for the past few weeks.

When Edward decided to play "Let's make Rosalie really, really, mad, and see if she tries to kill us!", in particular. It was scary enough to make mortals cower in terror.

Edward was stressing over the most recente developement; namely, his daughter becoming pregnant with a human/vampire/werewolf hybrid.

Carlisle detto it would be fine, no reason to worry, *normally indescernable medical terms* and about three months left.
