First New Moon Poster: Who Wants Who?
Summit Entertainment this morning shipped out its first poster for New Moon, revealing a conspicuous shift in its approach to the hotly anticipated Twilight sequel. Gone is the sulky, Photoshopped wolfcake that greeted viewers of Moon's first publicity still, and gone is the youthful charm that so successfully pushed the original film on audiences last fall. There seems to be but one message here: Someone is getting cockblocked. Make of it what you will after the jump.
First, though, allow me the preemption of saying yes, I know that Kristen Stewart grows closer to Taylor Lautner's werewolf while Rob Pattinson goes off on vampire hiatus. But I didn't know that her high-schooler Bella Swan apparently aged about 10 years between the first and second novels, and I definitely didn't know about the simmering homoerotic tension between Edward Cullen and Jacob Black. That's a pretty fantastic revision to Stephenie Meyer's story, in which vampires and werewolves all hate each other. Unless I've got it all wrong, of course, and Bella isn't actually interfering but, rather, is the object of desire? And in any case, does Edward really think he has a chance against those airbrushed abs? I'm stumped.

Just looking at these pictures unleashes my long-buried 14-year-old self. There's got to be a copy of Seventeen Magazine around here somewhere. I'm feeling faint and an article about how to create "smokey eyes" in time for the 7th grade dance is the only solution.
Having seen the first film I totally get what's going on in this picture.
- Kristin Stewart totally wants to bone "the Pats"
- "The Pats" totally wants to hit it too.
- The Native American kid hates "the pats", so he lead Kristin Stewart one foot into the sacred land the he can't set foot in.
- "The Pats" has to decide if its worth crossing that line just so he can tap it.
Right?
these lifetime movie network one sheets are getting fancier and fancier by the project
Here's the synopsis that I received from Mrs.7 (she's read all 4 books): Bella bones anything that's freaky. The End.
Oh, thank goodness they gave that boy a haircut. His hair was to this franchise what Storm's accent was to the X-Men films.
Yecch.
That's right boys, ass to ass.
Also, who invited the Bratz doll?
this movie will probably drive me insane. i absolutely hate what Meyer did to the love story by adding Jacob to the mix. we don't need another Shakespeare going on! it's B.S.
Taylor Lautner looks a million times better with short hair though. and it's about time Bella stopped looking like a 15 year old home schooler...
and what's with making an article before reading the books? or are we pretending like the books and movies are completely separate? this poster describes the book to the T. poor Edward, stupid Bella, and overpresumptuous, selfish and annoying Jacob. i'm excited to see the gang members though, from what i've seen so far they picked fairly decent guys.
