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!

Kayla's Secret, Chapter 24

posted by twilight-7

Charlie’s POV

The time had come. We were going to get Kayla back and if anything stood in my way...well...it wouldn’t be standing for very long. I was taking four men with me - Mitchell, Edward, Emmett and Jasper. I needed Mitchell to montrer me the way, Edward was going to save Kayla and Emmett and Jasper was back up.
I was going to bring Loren down.

Kayla’s POV

My captor had a family. Funny, how we don’t think of the enemy as a husband ou a father. We just think of them as the evil bastard who is making our life hell. I knew that Zachariah was a good guy. So I couldn’t read his mind to...

Why was I smelling gasoline? Then James walked though the door. He was carring a dead animal. He threw it in the ground, he poored gasilone on it. Then he set it on fire.
"That's what will happen to toi if toi do mange to escape the electric bars. toi see, I don't want to hurt you. Bella, Victoria was just a test to see if I could find someone that I loved plus than her. And I was right." He chuckled. Then he left the room. Leaving the dead animal burning. It was a good thing that this room was made of concreat. 2 hours have passed. I took out my cell phone and dialed Edwards number.

I couldn't remember the last time I ate, and with Bella sitting on my lap, her blood so close I found myself starting to be distracted. I felt myself stiffen, the smell making my mouth flood.

"Oh." She a dit as she pulled herself away from me, sitting on the canapé suivant to me. "Sorry."

"It's my own fault, It's been too long since I hunted. I shouldn't let myself get so thirsty. But I was in a bit of a hurry to get here." I a dit as I glared at her. "Speaking of which, would toi like...

I realized at that moment that I was in l’amour with this woman. I had hurt her and her family, yet they all came out to find me and make sure that I was ok and didn't hurt my family. Yet when she saw me she wanted to comfort me and that meant plus then anything in the world.

Our Kiss began to get a bit too intense, my hands moving up and down her back as her hands knotted in my chemise and held me close to her.

Esme put on her veste and handed Rosalie one before turning to face Carlisle and I.

"Now be nice, remember he's new and doesn't fully understand anything yet." She demanded.

Rosalie looked from me to Carlisle and back before coming over and s’embrasser me softly. She then walked back to Esme who was smiling from ear to ear. I heard something about 'perfect' and 'love' but couldn't make out anything else.

I stood there for a few minutes after they left, watching the...

"Please Alice, please don't go looking for her future." He begged.

"Edward, I...I mean she...I mean." I was frustrated and unsure how to respond to his request.

"Yes Edward, I will not look. Jasper and I will leave tonight." I said, my voice no plus then a whisper.

"Thank toi Alice." He a dit as he got to his feet and offered his hand to help me up.

"Edward, could toi do me a favor ou two?" I asked as I stood up.

"Anything."...

"I explained that earlier, but, well...I thought toi were an angel. I thought I had died and toi were there to take me to heaven, and when I woke up and toi were still there I realized that I just wanted to be with you. Also, the way that toi spoke of Carlisle, and the way he looked I thought maybe he was God and toi were...

End of Chapter 7

I saw us all leaving, that much was for sure. Edward would say his goodbyes to Bella and then would leave town. The strange thing was I kept seeing him in different towns without any of us with him. I didn't understand that part at all, and would have to ask him about it when he calms down.

"Edward, are toi saying that toi want to leave Bella and this town?" Esme asked.

"Yes. We need to leave her before anything else happens." He a dit sadly.

“I’m fine dad” I a dit back and then he just hugged me. I still didn’t let go of Edward’s hand, it made me feel safer knowing that he’s par my side.
Charlie finally stopped hugging me and starred at me.

End of Part 20

When we were all done we all began walking back to town, everyone discussing where we would be going next. I thought this was strange because I thought that they just stayed in one place and lived their lives like normal people.

"Let's go to Alaska." Esme suggested.

"No we were there a few years ago. How about New York?" Rosalie suggested.

"New York could be fun, but too much sun." Carlisle said.

"How about Washington? It's cloudy a lot there I hear, it's suppose to rain...

Sitting on a chair on stage waiting to get my diploma wasn’t as frightening as I thought. Ok, nearly a hundred people were staring at us but it wasn’t as bad as I had imagined. Jessica, who was sat suivant to me, looked close to tears. I didn’t get what was so upsetting about graduating. We were leaving school for ever. No plus classes. Well, for me I guess. I couldn’t go to college ou université until I turned eighteen and Edward the gentlemen decided to wait for me until he went to university. So far no one in the audience had tried to kill me which was good. Charlie and Mitchell were...

"Edward?" I asked as I took a step closer to him.

He wouldn't look me in the eye. I knew this was not a good sign, he was thinking deeply again. He was contemplating things and he wouldn't tell anyone his thoughts until he made the decision.

I stopped what I was doing and looked into the future. It was unsure still, one seconde I saw Edward breaking up with Bella. We would stay in town and he would do his best to avoid her, never allowing his true feelings...

When we got to my beat up, white 2000 Ford Tempo we all jumped in and Seth took my keys. Jake carried Nessie quickly into the backseat. Seth pulled out of the parking lot a little too speedily and the car peeled out, everyone looked at us as I slunk down in the passenger seat. I truly hated being in the spotlight. We were only driving for a couple of moments before I realized that Nessie was still shaking, and her breathing was hard. “Is she ok?” I half shrieked as I looked back at her in concern. “She’s going to be fine” Jake a dit as he opened his phone,...

"Hi Jake!" Nessie looked up at him and smiled.
I ran over to Edward and Alice who were putting decorations up all around the yard.
"Need any help?" I stood on my tip toes to Kiss Edwards cheek.
"Yes, go around the trail leading up to the house and put up these lights." Alice handed me a big bundle of twinkly lights that I remembered from a number of occasions I had gone to at the Cullens in my human days.

My life had changed in so many ways in such a short time. I’d moved to Forks, met the l’amour of my existence, Lost him and found a best friend in a werewolf. Edward of course came back, neither one of us could really breath without the other. I had fought to save my life countless times, almost killing myself for our beautiful daughter Renesmee. Life seems to be almost normal ou so I thougt.
Jacob and Nessie where never too far from each other, he would do anything for her. Edward always kept a close eye on the two of them, still never really trusting Jacob. It was on this...
