“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!

did i mention amazing???
i am seriously freaking out. i can't wait till december :O
OH MY GOD.
that was AH-MAZING !
I fainted the first couple of times through. Then watched it again and again.
Thanks so much for bring this to us!
THANKYOUUU LARRY THANKYOU MTVVV.
*faints
My life is over. Because now I can't sleep. Ever.
I literally am shaking...this movie is going to be AMAZING!!!!!!
I was screaming the whole frist time I watched it...I had to rewatch it like 5 times!!!
thanks Larry, you rock!
And I am still SPEECHLESS. =)
Kudos to you, MTV, for keeping me wonderfully distracted from my responsibilities.
Larry, all of us Twlight Moms thank you from the bottom of our hearts! You are amazing. You really know the way to a TMs heart.
i had to take a break from writing this comment to go back and watch the video about five more times before i was able to slightly calm down. That was almost too much for my poor heart...keep it coming please! =D
Thank you so much for that!! Any doubts I was still harboring that the movie might be an embarassment to the book (which weren't that many by now) have officially been thrown out the window.
The best part? We finally hear Edward's voice!!!!!! Well, and the part where he kisses Bella's forehead in the hospital. Oh ya and the biology scene where they are first up close face-to-face. That was so great to see.
I'm curious as to how far into the story Edward will want to show off (or in Rob's words "have fun with the powers") because wasn't it mentioned in one of the past interviews that he jumps the tree tops with her before he tells her he's a vampire? so does that mean that Edward's character is going to be a little more show-off-y than in the book? It'll be interesting to see how that plays out...I can't wait! December is just not coming fast enough. Gah, now I'm gonna be watching that over and over and over, until my computer breaks down from over-use, haha. =D
*sighs* Edward's voice was great...I wish we could hear a little more Rob's voice in character, even better, some more Edward/Bella interaction (not just seeing them act, but also hearing them talk, too). when will we get a trailor?
Thank you so much for bringing us this MTV!! =)
My favourite scene? THERE ARE TOO MANY. I love it when Rob is kissing Kristen. OMG. I was like crying. I feel so unbelievably teenie right now. HAHAHA.
And I love it when they rip they guys head off. HAHA.
and spider-monkey? HAHAHAHAHA. Holy crap.
but im totally speechless!!!
just by watching this stole my heart away. i soo want to see it NOW!!
