“This looks just right.”
Our friends at Summit Entertainment premiered a mind-blowing new “Twilight” clip for the lucky crowds at New York’s Comic-Con this weekend, featuring that quote from a set-visiting Stephenie Meyer. Quite frankly, we’re inclined to agree.
Now, we’re passing the clip on to you, along with a warning: For all of you who’ve memorized every line of the novels, hungered for each tidbit of info you can find on our site, and cursed every month between now and December, please make sure you’re sitting down as you press play. Also, a crash helmet might come in handy. (CLICK HERE TO PLAY IT, AND RETURN TO READ THE REST…)
The tasty video tidbit yet begins with footage of Jackson Rathbone swinging a baseball bat, and leads into several others shots from the beloved baseball scene. Not only do you get a look at the uniforms that clad the Cullens, but you also get a quick peek at a showdown that looks half Rugby-scrum, half Jets vs. Sharks-like rumble.
Feel free to indulge in your shrieking as you glimpse Edward kissing Bella’s head in the hospital, giving her the “I want to kill you/no I don’t” stare in Biology class, and getting ready to give her a piggyback up a tree with the warning “You’d better hold on tight, spider-monkey!” OMG, Robert just spoke without his accent! And, could this be the beginning of the notorious “treetops” scene)?
Giving us what might be an early peek at the film’s marketing campaign, we get the tagline “When you can live forever, what do you die for?” and uber-cool trading cards introducing Bella, Edward, Dr. Carlisle Cullen, Esme, Alice, Emmett, Rosalie and…wait for it…The Nomads!
Try not to give your computer a meltdown with all the pause-play-pause you’ll use to glimpse at footage like the wire work, the vampires using movie magic to walk quickly towards the camera, what looks to be a Slip ‘n Slide, some poor dude getting his head ripped off, and a sweet preview of Bella’s scream.
“Not one shot is easy,” grins director Catherine Hardwicke in the clip. “I love it. Welcome to Twilight!”
What’s your favorite shot in the clip? Anything look particularly authentic or incorrect to you? Discuss, Twilighters!

this was so awesome.
all of the actors seem so down to earth and
amazing.
my favorite clip was
probably when Edi Gathegi
says "We killin' some people today"

and then when Rob says that
"You better hold on tight spider-monkey"

“You’d better hold on tight, spider-monkey!”- Best line ever! -faints-

that was AMAZING OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To answer your questions:
My favorite sceneS are of edward in the dark when the words flash up saying "when you can live forever...." and i LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE edward kissing bella in the hospital. i nearly died from my heart stopping.
Something that was a little iffy to me? Bella waking up to see edward watching her sleep. She wasn't supposed to find out that way. Plus, it's a little creepy for me to watch him watch her. if i were bella, that'd be fine HAHA
thanks for the video larry and thanks for the link Lex
To me, the important thing is getting the story right. Stephenie deserves to have her first book brought to life in the best most possible way, and I do believe Catherine Hardwicke has done just that.
I'm no longer hesitant about the film because I believe that though there are some differences between the adaption and the book, that as soon as we see Twilight in theaters, it's going to be breathtakingly surreal.
It's difficult for me to choose a favorite scene in the clip, just because everything looks so fantastic. But I do love the scene where Edward tells Bella that she'd better hold on tight (as they're leaping through the trees.) And then the scene with Bella in the hospital, where Edward kisses her lightly on the forehead.
Both are adorable.
Great job Summit. You've definitely done it. I can't wait until December. :)

Kudos times one thousand.
Amazing. No, way more than amazing.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
*DIED* *ALOT*
I played it only 4 times in a row, I dont think that is TOO much, for now, do you?
WOW, thanks MTV. That just made my day. I LOVE that Alice is the one to rip off James head. LOVES IT!!!! I am one of those "stick to the book" fans, but I actaully liked the "spider monkey" part. Oh to be a spider monkey,lol!!!!
LOVED IT!!!!!
