The Twilight Eclipse Movie Trailer

The Twilight Eclipse movie trailer is finally here and we've got lots of juicy tidbits from the Eclipse book featured here.



(1) Of course, there are the Edward / Bella moments:



(2) And then there's Jacob making a love triangle out of things:




Cutest Jacob picture by far, in my opinion ;)

At the latter portion of the trailer, Jacob tells Bella he's gonna take care of her till her heart stops beating - which is a very appropriate thing to say considering his disdain for the idea of Bella being turned into a vampire.


(3) And then Jacob Black and his... abs??(?)

Is it just me or has Jacob Black's abs vanished or lessened? Perhaps he got depressed and ate one too many Ben and Jerry's thinking about Bella Swan? None the less, he still looks fine ;)



(4) The Volturi make an appearance, and red-eyed Dakota Fanning (Jane) warns Edward and Bella that she must be turned real soon or else:







(5) Finally, the grand entrance of the new Victoria, now played by Bryce Dallas Howard. Personally, she doesn't look as fierce and elegant as the previous actor, Rachelle Lefevre, but let's wait and see how she delivers when the Eclipse movie shows:






One more leaked Eclipse movie screen shot can be seen here!

Eclipse Movie Leaked Screenshots / Photos + Updates

For those who are having Twilight-related withdrawal symptoms, here's one screen shot of the Eclipse movie that have been revealed, which shows Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) being all lovey dovey:



I can't wait for the day they release action-packed Eclipse movie screen shots like the new breed of vampires, a glimpse of the skirmish among the werewolves, Cullens, and the Volturi, and Jasper Hale being in charge. I'd also love to see more of the Bella/Jacob vs Bella/Edward moments.

The Twilight cast has revealed that they have done intense training to prepare for the epic battle to take place in the third installment of the series.

Let's hope we get more Eclipse movie updates, teasers, photos, and screen shots soon!

The Eclipse movie is scheduled to show on June 30, 2010.

Eclipse IMAX to show 30 June 2010 + movie poster

Here are two reasons why Twilight fans should rejoice!

1. Eclipse will be shown on IMAX which means that we can experience the epic werewolf-vampire battle more dramatically (hopefully, the movie will not disappoint in terms of the battle scenes)

2. According to IMDB, The Eclipse movie will grace the theaters on June 30, 2010. Yep! you read right, that's just a few months away from now. Of course, we should expect some delays here and there, but suffice to say, they're working on the movie as we speak. In fact, the director even tweeted last December 11 that they have "200 days to go", which is roughly 6+ months :)

The Eclipse movie will be directed by David Slade, who's also done some music video directing in the past (notably for Stone Temple Pilots!) but aside from that, he's done just a few projects here and there (based on his IMDB at least), so I'm actually pretty excited (okay, maybe a tad anxious too haha) about what he's going to bring to the table for the third Twilight movie.

I'm surprised Chris Weitz didn't stay on for the second movie, seeing as he did quite a good job for the New Moon movie, but I'm hopeful this new guy will do just as well.

Some tweets of his to whet your appetite:

"Jacob & Bella are matching with intensity, & it's all even with the action sequences. Right now we are in a great state of balance."

"As we cut. Edward seems to be a really strong presence, the intensity of the love story & rivalry between Jacob is in the driving seat."

I agree with him, the rivalry between Edward and Jacob is a crucial part of Eclipse, and is something I'm looking forward to. With the intensity Jacob showed on the New Moon, I'm sure I will be pleased with how he delivers this next movie.

Last but not the least, here is a look at the Eclipse movie poster!

Now that the Twilight Series over, it's time to choose your favorite Twilight book!

The four-book epic Vampire romance novel series that is Twilight is finally over and now it's time to ask the most important question: Which book did you like the most? Do you think that the first is always the greatest and choose Twilight? Did the werewolf-centric New Moon tickle your fancy the most? Was the vampire-werewolf collaboration of Eclipse exciting? Or did you enjoy tying all the loose ends of the story the most?

I know it's a hard decision, so I'm putting up five (yes, 5) polls for this: Best Overall book, Most romantic book, Best in Drama, Best in Character Development, and Most action-packed book. Hope ya all vote!

Personally, Book 1 wins hands down for the romantic category. I caught myself smirking and smiling like an idiot to myself while reading through the pages of the first book, enjoying the relationship between the human (Bella) and the vampire (Edward). New Moon may be my pick for Best in Character Development because of the whole werewolf transformation that went through Jacob Black and his turmoil as he tried to stay human and maintain a normal relationship with Bella. Most action-packed? I'd say all four Twilight books are tied. None of theme had me up to my toes wondering what's going to happen next. But the premise of a pack of wolves and a group of vampires working together must have been the most intriguing, so I'm leaning towards Eclipse. Overall? I'm having a difficult time choosing, so I'm probably going to base it on your votes ;)

Twilight Bracelet - wolf charm's not made of wood

The Twilight fandom has been in quite a flurry, looking for the Twilight bracelet, the one that Jacob and Edward had given to Bella. I was also extremely excited to find myself one, but I was a bit disappointed to find out that the wolf charm in the official Twilight bracelet is not made of wood. :(



The beauty of the bracelet, for me, rests in the sheer fact that the wolf charm was handcrafted by Jacob. The wooden charm gives the bracelet a rustic quality that I associate with the werewolf. To replace it with a copper charm makes it less authentic and more commercialized.

Twilight Teezers explains the reason behind this change, and I quote:

6 - How come the wolf charm isn’t made of wood?

This is probably the most anticipated question relating to our interpretation of the bracelet. The answer is very simple; wood is too fragile. We consulted with Stephenie on what she had in mind for the actual design of the wolf charm. The design she showed us was a very detailed, near-scale wolf pendant. After some research we determined that a wood charm as small and intricate as the one she demonstrated would break far too easily. The only way to mass produce such a charm would be to use a wood-based casting material, which does not have the strength necessary to withstand the normal wear and tear that this bracelet could receive. The head, feet, and tail would be likely to break off. And it simply would be impractical to hand-carve a wolf out of a stronger wood material for every bracelet we sold. So we decided to make it out of copper. This is[sic] allows us to mass produce the bracelet in a timely fashion while still maintaining the strength needed and keeping the color tone that we were looking for. We would have loved to make it out of wood, but we felt durability and long-term satisfaction with the product was far more valuable to our customers. Had the wolf been a more stylized piece, it might have been different. We went with the official vision that Stephenie had.

I understand their line of reasoning, but at the exorbitant $65 price they're offering it at, I can't help but look twice at that line above that I highlighted in bold. I don't want to make accusations here, I am just still disappointed. Couldn't it have been possible for them to create a less detailed wooden wolf charm OR couldn't they have scaled it a little larger so that the details would be easier to make?



Bottom line, if you're not a huge Jacob fan, you would love this bracelet. Otherwise, you might be as disheartened as I am.
