“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!
Thanks to the twilight lexicon for telling me about it!
This is not me typing, but my soul.
Just when I thought I couldn't get anymore excited that the movie came out on my birthday and the book is coming out sooo close in Aug.
This video killed me.
I'll be in heaven watching
xD
No, haha just kidding.
Thank you Larry!
"We're killin' some people today..." Yeah, starting with the fans!
Thanks MTV, Summit, and the Twilight Lexicon for the link.
Larry, where do I write MTV to tell them you need a RAISE.
Also, SCORE that I'm not the only one over 18 who's getting so excited about this!
LARRY!!!! Your going to get me kicked out of my home! I just woke everyone up by screaming and it's only 6AM!
Thankyou thankyou thankyou! although now I wanna be a spider monkey!
OH.MY.HOLY.CARLISLE!!
THIS.IS.THE.BEST.VIDEO.EVER!!
OMC!!!!
i can't stop screaming!! YAYYY!!!
Thanks to the Lex for a heads up!
I think I might've wet my pants.
It's funny 'cause I watched the video first (it took me a full 25 minutes to get through it due to the pause-play-pause actions).
Robert's Edward voice is a little more gruff than I expected, but sexy. Of course it was only a little snip it, though.
Uh, I love Kellan/Emmett and that's all there is to it.
And Cam/James shirtless? I wish he hadn't killed that man for his leather jacket--he's very nice to look at without it.
And was it Alice I saw ripping off James's head in the ballet studio? Hahaha. Gotta love Alice.
Amazing.

OMIGOSH.
I...I...I am speechless.
I love you MTV.
With all my heart and soul!
*hyperventilates*
I have watched the video at least fifteen times, and I still get short of breath.
THIS MOVIE IS GONNA KICK ASS, BABY!
And it's gonna make so much money....
...I am planning on seeing it at least three times. First family, then friends, then me and my sister wanna go see it by ourselves!!!!!!!!
OKAY ABOUT THE CLIP:
My favorite scene is the hospital one!
GAH; they look so cute together. I almost needed a bag to breath into. Not kidding. I am a dork.
Hmm, the only thing I'm worried about is that at prom, in the book, Bella was still kinda beat up and in a cast, and in the movie, she looked perfectly fine.
Also, she didn't look all scratched up in the hospital, so I am a little disappointed.
I love you, MTV!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i can only try to understand how hard they are working on this movie.
i can't imagine the dedication and work that it is taking them just to make sure that they don't get egged at the premire.
thank you so much MTV, Summit, Stephanie Meyer, Cathrine Hardwicke, and The Cst of Twilight.
