EXCLUSIVE: New ‘Twilight’ Footage Goes Behind The Scenes, Fulfills Dreams

'Twilight'“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!

    AHHH!
    Thank you Larry! You're awesome!!!
  4. That was the most amazing thing ever! I was almost in tears, and then screaming my ass off. YOU'RE AWESOME LARRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Everything looked amazing, my mind isn't really forming coherent thoughts yet. The entire cast is perfect - and Rob's American accent....*drool*
  5. Larry....you are a GOD!

    December can't come fast enough.

    Thanks for everything! You rock my world. :o)

    ps: Thanks to the Lexicon also for feeding my thirst as well. ;o)
  6. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    i cant type.. breath..i just died and went to heaven
    :D
    thanks MTV
  7. OME! Seriously how is one supposed to speak after viewing that clip? I am speechless (which is a rarity for me) I had to do as Bella does…. I had to keep reminding myself to take a breath. Holy Crow!!!! MTV! This clip far surpasses all the others video thus far. Intense action packed my head is spinning kind of Twilight stuff. Larry you are UBERCOOL!!!!
  8. Oh my gosh!
    thank you so much (:
    i literally got the chills & started screaming while watching this.
    thanks for the warning that we need to sit down before watching.
    DECEMBER IS SO FAR AWAY!!!!!!!
  9. *sigh* I can't watch the clip because I'm not in the States. That's not fair! Is MTV Canada putting this stuff on their website?? But judging by everyone's reactions and the article accompanying the clips...it must be pretty awesome!
  10. MTV you rock!! I loved this footage, thanks so much for this awesome sneek peek. It just keeps getting better and better!
  11. MTV and Larry, are AWESOME! You keep giving us more and more and we keep wanting more and more. CAn't get enough...won't last til December. And Rob's American accent...oohh baby
  12. WOOOOOOOOO I'm so excited!!!
    This video was awesome!!!!!
    Thanks!!
    But... I think that spidermonkey line is pretty cheesy. When I hear that, I think of a crazy monkey flying through the air and that doesnt match up with my picture of Bella. Hah. Oh well I love it anyways!!

  14. AHHH I LOVE IT!! I think my fave scene was the close up on Edward/Robert :D:D:D:D TEHE! But I loved the bio scene... totally got the glare down! && when Bella and Edward are sitting on the top of some little hill and he looks at her AHHHHHH INSANE!!!!!! I love you MTV!! And the Twilight Lexicon for posting the links yet again! :D:D:D:P:P:P
  15. it is not "When you can live forever, what do you die for" It says in the video what do you live for..instead of die :]]

  34. Summit + Stephenie + Catherine + Entire Cast & Crew + MTV + Larry = MAJOR EPIC WIN
  35. OMG THIS IS A GREAT VIDEO!!!! I LOVE IT!!!! THANX!!
  36. Larry you are my personal hero. We all love the dedication you put into keeping the rabid Twilight fan's happy! I just wish it was slower and longer so we could take it all in! Or you could just let Robert Pattinson talk into the camera for hours on end, I mean whatever works!
  37. "you better hold on tight, spider monkey !" is the best phrase to ever be spoken . especially by edward .
    I LOVE YOU LARRY !!!!!!
    marry me ?
    ;)
  38. I love this video, and I love you Larry! Yes, I did scream, and yes, I did give my computer a meltdown...it got dazzled by Edward! Mmmmm, can't say which part is my fav. It's a tie between the Nomads being introduced, Jasper in all his baseball glory, and Edward saying "Hold on tight, Spider-monkey".you know what, I love the whole thing. And the music! Awesome music choice!!! WOOO!We here teens at TwilightTeens love this!
  39. *Shriek* I LOVE YOU MTV! I'm seriously hyperventilating right now. I have goosebumps and I'm shaking! I WANNA SEE THE MOVIE, but I don't know how I'm gonna contain myself in theaters. I might have to ask my friends to cover my mouth and hold me down.

    Thank you, we love you!

    P.S. *Shrieks again*
  40. OH MY EDWARD! I can't even process right now...Off to watch the video for the hundreth time
  41. Wow.

    I am so glad I bought new underwear yesterday.
  42. Wowzers!!! That you so much...Now for the wait til december.
  43. i loveeee robert without the accent, he needs to jump over the pond and stay on our side! eeeee! love it!... ps i must of watched the spidermonkey part about 200 times now in the last 10 minutes.
  44. Okay, so I watched the video like 6 times.. leaving two comments. lol. I'll prob watch more later..
    BUT whoa that was just AMAZING!!!!
    What is up with Laurent's hair? Idk if that was just me..but it kinda werided me out...but anywho..
    I noticed that they dont show a lot about "Esme".. this is the first clip and like interview I have read or seen... I kind of want more..because she was one of my fav charcters in the book..she was just so motherly and so nice. lol.
    I loved the clothes they were wearing at the baseball scene! They were all dressed up! so cute!
    Bella's room! OMG! Edward's voice! "You better hold on tight spider monkey!" OMG. Okay, that line was kinda werid...but it was Robert in a american accent...like actully being Edward! =D
    I love the fight scene! I can't wait to see that! And when little poor Alice rips off his head! WHOA! I was like shocked.. but it was so cool too!
    This is just making me soo anxious for the book!!
    Oh, yea and the hospital scene! OMG! soo cute and I think that matched pretty good with the book..even though they didint say anything..but that kiss! And I liked how you had Stephenie Meyer in the vid talking! That was great!
    THANK YOU MTV!
    THANK You Larry!!!
    More videos and blogs pleaseee!
  45. Oh my god. I'm like, hyperventilating right now....
    Okay. Now. I love all the actors so much more now. I loved them before but now...!
    And I love the spider-monkey line. Oh my god do I love the spider-monkey line.
    And Catherine is pure genius. You can tell how much this movie means to her. It's not another movie to put her name on, it's a vision recreated.
    The only twitching I had was over Jackson not being specific (Jasper can induce or control any emotion, not just calm people).
    I can't wait to see the movie. My friends and I are already planning on dressing up (me as Alice because of my lovely height of 4' 10"!).
    Go Twilight!
  46. OH my gosh!
    This was absolutely incredible!!!
    WORDS cannot possible describe!!

    THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

    AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
  47. Still, shaking...I'm actually shaking...Thank you SOOO much Larry....Still shaking...how fantastic...i cannot breath...still...I think I may be dying...and thank the lord Summit changed the tagline from 'The Forbidden Fruit Tastes The Sweetest' That was soooo corny this one is perfect...I don't think I can breath..I still have not regained function....*goes to watch for the 3rd time in 10 minutes*
  48. omfg I love you forever. I followed the link from twilight lexicon. I was like expecting another cool (but unfortunately with not enough information filled) video. But this just blowed my mind...I want to see this movie sooo bad:D
  49. my god!!!!.....Thanx MTV....thank you larry ....u have no idea what you have just done to the twilight fandom with this clip....it is utter madness...madness i tell you!!!!

    once again...U RULE LARRY!!!!.\m/(^-^)\m/
