The first official clip from New Moon premiered Monday on Entertainment Tonight. Entitled "Jacob's Transformation" and running a lean 53 seconds, only about half of its material is new; if you've seen Taylor Lautner's midair wolfcake morph once, you've seen it a hundred times. Unless, that is, you watch it and his lupine nemesis in hi-def on iTunes, in which case you might start to see it as a comedy. Read on for a closer look.
There's not a lot of context to go on plot-wise, except that Jacob will never get into Bella's pants if the angry werewolf in his front yard devours her. You have to hand it to Kristen Stewart, who's trying as hard as she can -- or at least harder than the visual effects team that inadvertently inserted a taxidermied-bear-stage into the transition between man and beast. See below; the complete clip is on page 2. Who's excited?
