Like Edward Cullen eyeballing a deer in the middle of the woods, you can be forgiven if you drool a bit while looking at the first official “Twilight” poster. It’s an MTV exclusive, it’s a thing of beauty, and it was photographed by 18-year-old wunderkind Joey Lawrence.
You can read our interview with Joey over on the MTV Movies page, but here’s an extra-juicy bit of news: Lawrence has signed on to shoot all the posters for “Twilight.” When I was on the set recently, virtually everyone I spoke with brought up plans for sequels, and if those dreams come true Joey would likely return as well. (Click the poster for the high-rez version!)
“Yeah,” he told us recently, swinging by our Santa Monica offices. “I’ll be doing all the next movies.”
Lawrence knew that the first poster had to focus on the key relationship of Edward and Bella, and said he’d like to keep the subsequent images focused on the characters and their couplings.
“I think they’ll probably be keeping the mood pretty dark and edgy still,” he said of his plan. “I’ve read the first script, and I know what happens in the next books just from talking to the actors, so the mood might change a little bit, but the style will stay the same.”
Lawrence also revealed that he’s been meeting with “Twilight” director Catherine Hardwicke, so that they can synchronize their overall plan.
“I think it’s going to be interesting with her,” insisted Lawrence, who hopes to become a director himself someday. “When I read the script, I realized this is not her kind of movie. Because she’s done like ‘Lords of Dogtown’ and ‘Thirteen,’ so when I read the script I was kind of like, ‘That’s a vampire movie,’ but then to find out that she was doing something with it, I think it’s going to be different than just a normal kind of teenage love story. I think it might be interesting to see.”
We’d expect nothing less, right Twilighters? I want to read the thoughts of each and every one of you (and believe me, we all do!), so here’s your TT question of the week: Is the poster, better, worse, or exactly as you imagined? What, if anything, would you have done differently than Joey?
they are a perfect match!!! I do agree with Crystle i would like to see them looking at each other once but thats all good!!
I cant cant cant wait for the movie in december! i am so stoked!! arg!! and yes Kristen does look gorgeous!!
I absolutely CANNOT wait for the movie any longer! It's going to be great!
though the rest is perfect ^^
December seems so far away...
its perfect
i cant think of anything else to say about it
for the movie twilight....
but not the book...
it would seem better if Robert had more of a protective hold against Kirsten, and her more leanning into him.
But thats only if you want The 'Twilighters' real attention.
PS to me his eyes look red idk about other ppl
that's all I can really say to describe this poster...
I'm a three year photography student and must say that the way he captured the emotions in this image is... just amazing...
I'm so psyched about this movie coming out! and Sequels!!! [High pitched Fan girl squeal goes here/]
haha!
But Edward looks like he has red eyes!
They have to be golden.. and beautiful...!
They look exactly as I had imagined while reading the book. Edward is dark and menacing, but Bella is at ease with him.
He has perfectly captured the chemistry between the two.
Thank you so very much!!
:)
Bella is perfect.
Everything is perfect!
love
twlight lover 18

THIS IS HONESTLY THE BEST MOVIE POSTER I HAVE EVER SEEN.

I KNO THAT THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL, STUNNING, AND TALENTED ACTORS BUT,
YOU CAN REALLY FEEL THEIR EMOTIONS EXUDING FROM THE POSTER.
NOT ENOUGH WORDS TO SAY HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS!!!
