After watching this trailer, I am convinced that I DO want to see this movie. I want to see it in order to witness that such crap is going to make a lot of money.
miss_sophia, we must make a date to see this movie. Maybeshantih will make it down here to see it with us. What do you say?
Watch the trailer again, and then watch the parody trailer. The juxtaposition is hilarious.
The best parts about the real trailer are (1) it reveals a plot (evil vampire hunting Bella), whereas in the book, that plot comes in about 75% of the way through the book, which means that everything until then was all Bella and Edward angsting over their OMGTRUEBUTFORBIDDENLOVE, and (2) the dudes ripping up the floor in the dance studio as they slide across it.
The worst part about the real trailer is NO SPARKLING! :( Hopefully there will be lots of it in the movie anyway!
Well, shantih said she was in, so come November, we can go see it! I will be bedecked in sparkles from head to toe, and I will donate the amount that we pay for our tickets to charity to make up for the egregiousness of funding this craptacular enterprise.
I'm still in. I think I will dress as a grunge vampire: flannel shirt and jeans a la Nirvana, but with body glitter, because the vampires must *sparkle*!
Egad, this is why they're delaying Harry Potter? If the craptastic acting alone is anything to go by, this should make a real thud at the box office. (Just look at the success of Moonlight ... and the similarity in titles.) The story looks like yet another inferior rip-off of Dark Shadows, Interview With the Vampire, Forever Knight, Underworld, et al.
