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

posted by mandapanda

I'm sure, par now, most of toi 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 commentaires first! It's great to see snippets of new scenes! We got to see:
- the loup 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 plus 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 ou 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, ou 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 montrer 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 livres 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 montrer 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 ou the cast. I l’amour 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 commentaires ou 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'm sorry that this article is really short. I'll post another later tonight.

“How are toi feeling?” he asked in that musical voice.
    “Fine” I lied.
    “Hmm, doesn’t look fine. I think your leg is broken but I’m not positive. How did toi injure it?”
    “Well…I slipped out of a arbre I was climbing” I muttered embarrassed to tell him I was a 16-year-old who still climbed trees. I chose to tell him the truth, though, rather than lie because I knew he would talk to...

“Really?” I managed to get out. “Then what would be your greatest problem? That would make Victoria’s returning for toi seem like such an inconsequential matter in comparison?” I finished trying to hold onto my calm. Werewolves,...

"Calm down Rennesme." She says as she softly pushes me back down.

"Mom Where is Jake?" I ask again this time sitting up all the way.

"Honey he is in the other room. Grandpa is taking a look right now." Right as she finishes my grandpa walks in. His expression is grim.

"Whats going on Grandpa, whats wrong with him?" I ask with a shakey tone.

"Bella why don't toi let me talk to Rennesme. Edward is out in the hall." My mother stands up at his comand. My grandpa walks slowly towards me and sits down on the edge of the bed. "Rennesme Jacob is not healing. I think that the injury is so great that...

Chapter 8: What Is and What Should Never Be

My head snapped up, my attention directed away from the little cherub that I was holding. I met Emily’s eyes; they held a sisterly wisdom to them as if she was prepared to bestow some vital understanding upon me. She took a deep breath, “When Sam and I were dating I was attracted to him of course, but it was vey different from anything that I had ever experienced. It was magnetic, I couldn’t concentrate on anything except for him and he became my entire life. After we were married, we discussed having children and the minute that I got the idea...

Chapter 3: Feliz Sempre Após Começa Agora
Jake and I had decided to use my 16th birthday presents from my grandparents as well as the Denali coven for our honeymoon. We were going to visit Zafrina. For our wedding gift, my grandparents extended the stay par two weeks and Tanya had switched the reservations from a hotel to a private chalet in the rain forest. We got on the plane, hand in hand. I couldn’t remember ever being happier. My family was safe, I was Mrs. Jacob Black, my father approved of it, and Jacob and I were together forever. A smile spread upon my lips at the thought. He looked...

Here is another chapter :D

Chapter seven

Before i even turned around i knew who it was. A growl burst through my lips before i could stop it. The only reason i left was to protect them but they come here anyway.
"What are toi doing here?" I hissed at them through my teeth. My anger was slowly building up.
"Do toi really think i would miss out on a fight!" Of course Emmett was amused par the situation. I growled at him.
Then Edwards hands ran down my arms. I knew it was him because of how my body reacted to his touch. I turn round slowly but i couldnt look into his eyes. I couldnt look and see...

Chapter one

My life couldnt get any better. I was lying on haut, retour au début of my beautiful husband. I look up and see his golden eyes looking at me.
"Good morning." Edward said. I could hear the reluctant tone in his voice. He hated the sun coming up in the morning. Making us get dressed and leave our heaven, to go back to reality. I knew exactly how he felt.
"Good morning." I replied. He heard the same reluctant tone in my voice. This made him smile. I looked over to the clock suivant to our bed. It was 8:00. Time to get...

I think we need to know plus about Rosalie so I'll write in her POV often in the story. Things are going to get REALLY wierd!

When I woke up, I was in a barrier chamber suivant to Alice. Alice woke up before I did.
" Alice! What the HELL just happened?!?!?!?!"
" I warned toi to run, but toi didn't listen." she sighed.
" Well, now that we are here, can toi tell me what's going on!?!?!!?"

When she was about to speak someone came in the room.
" Hello Rosalie." the man a dit in a solemn voice.
" How do toi know my name?" I demanded.
" Can toi remember me at all?" he asked.
Then I saw something familiar......

SO this isnt my best just read it!

Bella's POV

I couldn't endure it because while everyone was fighting i had to focus on my sheild. I already know what his gift was and it was like yesterday that he annouced it.
Everyone was trying to rip Trenton's head off i found it kinda funny. Hmmmm..... I was right about Trenton wich is really wierd because Edward was usually right.
" Bella start a fire!" Jasper shouted. Then pieces of vampire skin flew past my head and i got the feu started in no time. I threw the pieces into the feu and purpleish smoke started to appear on haut, retour au début of the cottage.

“Renesmee Carlie Cullen,” my mom used my full name. I glanced up at her with no idea of what expression was on my face. “I will never let anything happen to you. Do toi understand? toi mean plus to me than my own life.” As she a dit these last words she came to look me strait in the eyes. “I l’amour you, honey” she whispered in my ear and held me tight in her arms. Then she released me, but didn’t déplacer from my side.
“What do we do?” Esme asked.
“What else can we do? We fight!” Uncle Emmett answered her question while a grin stretched...

    The reception was alright. I can't get over how it was official now. Bella and Edward were married. And soon, she would be one of us. Living in this place I call hell. She was stupid, very stupid. It wasn't that I completely hated Bella. I just hated the decision she made.
    Everyone danced and laughed. We'll except me. But soon I could hear Bella talking to someone in the darkness of the trees. Then I éperlan it. Ugh, the dog. How dare he come here. It was their wedding for christ sake!

    "May I have this dance?" Edward asked....

I'm only writting 1 ou 2 today. I'm in Orlando and is going sightseeing soon!

Alice's POV

Trouble can never avoid us. Can it? Sometimes, I wish that I didn't have the gift of seeing the future. It annoys me sometimes. But, I am grateful because if I didn't have this vision, we could all be killed in about 2 weeks. This is a HUGE problem! Maybe the Volturi can even solve this mess.. unless they are causing this!

I must be somewhere in South America. Stupid me! forgot to bring a map! I'm looking thorough the woods seeing if I could find anything that is similar to my vision. I sighed. I can't find...

Renee almost touched me, then seemed to think better of it.

"Sit down," Renee whispered again, gesturing towards the porch swing. I sat, she sat.

"But Bella... died... " Renee whispered.

Lovely. So THAT was what this woman believed.

"She died. I saw her. Dead. Almost eighteen years ago. She was a victim of hit and run," Renee said, sounding panicked, as if she were only trying to convince herself.

I decided to play along, it was convenient. For my family.

"I was born a few months before that. She didn't want toi to know," I lied easily.

"And the rest of the Cullens?" Renee whispered,...

Hi! This is my first time writting for the Twilight Saga so please commentaire and toi can also add suggestions. I'm only 13 years old so PLEASE be merciful if this is horrible.

Bella's POV

It has been two years since my marriage with Edward, the birth of Renesmee, and my transformation as being a vampire. Things were normal and the l’amour between Edward and me hasn't change. Renesmee looks about 10 years old and is still growing fast. Things were getting too dreamlike, things were too perfect....

I feel like my brain is going to explode! I have nothing to do these days except to study for finals at...

"Jacksonville?" I asked Jake.
"Bella wants toi to meet Renee," Jake said.
"Who's that?" I had no idea who this Renee person was.
"Bella's mother. Your grandmother. Up till now, she had no idea toi even existed."

I was speechless.

"Why am I meeting her then?" I managed to say. "She'll get mad at Bella for leaving her out of the life of her grandchild."

"Bella didn't want to leave her out of your life any longer." Jake said, pulling into the driveway of a small white house with faded yellow trimming and pale green shutters.

Edward and I were playing chess, hilariously fun, when I saw an image that did not involve chess pieces. I stiffened; then relaxed. So they liked Isle Renesmee. Good. It WAS my idea, after all.

And suddenly, I saw something that did not make me smile. I sighed and flicked my king over. It wasn't worth it.

* * *

Edward was the only one who would play chess with me anymore, mainly because it was fair.

I was a little depressed that there wasn't any wedding to be planned, and I didn't have any new project planned. Then, it hit me. RENESMEE'S CLOSET! Well, I'd already stocked her new house's (Esme had donné them their own house, she'd designed it and everything) mega-sized walk in closet and helped furnish the house, but I could always remodel her closet to look like a boutique!

I smiled in anticipation. I had to go call Esme!

I reached out to gently brush her pouting bottom lip.
“Bella, toi seem to be under a misapprehension.” I couldn’t believe she didn’t understand. I suppose she wouldn’t if she thought I didn’t want her. I closed my eyes, shaking my head back and forth, a slight smile on my lips. How to make her see?
“I thought I’d explained it clearly before. Bella,” just speaking her name brought me so much pleasure. “I can’t live in a world where toi don’t exist.”

Once we hit the highway, I am just about to shake Jacob until he tells me where we're going. Not that I'd be able to déplacer him. But where's the harm in trying to find out?

"Where are we going?" I ask him, for the third time.
"You know it's pointless, right?"
"Just checking," I smile. "I was hoping you'd just give in peacefully."
"Not a chance."

Eventually, after eight hours, we reach the airport.

Jacpb makes sure I don't hear ou see where we're going, and once we both board the plane, I am so tired, I just rest my head on his shoulder, and the suivant thing I know, someone is shaking my shoulder....
