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?

I love this picture, and the movie looks amazing.
Also, edward doesn't look a thing like he does in the actually preview. He looks just like a vampire- not the beautiful creature he's written (and in the trailer) to be.
:)I'm so fell in love with the books(:
Yell that your proud to be a Mexican
im praying and hoping that the movie will be
fantastic.
love the poster they look -hott
Can't way to see them together on screen.
simply that..
at the beginning i didn´t like robbert much,
but now,with all the photoshop and that sort of things,i can see he´s a really good choice!!
can´t wait to see it!! :P

Its an awesome poster-the dark theme is really cool. Robert looks good but it reminds me of another movie poster i saw a few months ago...Anyway the eyes are perfect but Kristen looks a bit too soft and "babyish," other then that it's faultless. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see the next ones.

I wish it didn't look so photoshopped though...
and he should be looking at her or have his arms around her or something.
I still think it's great though =)
ILL STILL WATCH THE MOIVE THOUGH! even if edward is not hot!!!

Its edgy,love edwards eyes and bella looks just gorgeous.
i also like it how edward is above her almost like he's protecting her,which we all know he does very well. =)
looks awesome
The best book ever. And the poster is.. .WOW
(sorry my english, i'm from sweden :P )
other than that, the poster looks great!
I cant wait for December! It seems like a long tome though. :)
cant wait!!!=]]
The only thing I would change would be Edmund's eyes. That's all - the redness doesn't look good.
Apart from that, it's brilliant - just like I imagined and more
her lips and his look..
it is in this style perfect, but ich had maybe let bella (kristen) look or better stare at edward and edward(robert) look like it seems he looks anywhere if there could be danger..
but in its way it is completely perfect.. dark romantic and secretly...
(another german right here.. sorry, too.. i hope you can understand it, though)
It also looks like Edward is really far away from Bella and way too creepy-looking, and it looks like he's wearing lipstick. The poster's only redeeming feature is that it's Twilight
i really like it..
i mean it really shows their relationship really well,
How edwards always so protective and Bella's always needing protecting from his world and everything.
it shows by their body language well,
i love the way he looking out aswell, it's like he's watching out for her.. (You, Know For james and all the other evil vamps!)
LOVE IT! ^_^
GREAT JOB
poster looks GREAT!!!
Not bad.
TEAM EDWARD!
But I like their embrace and the way Kristen looks in the camera.
Btw, Rob has a perfect face!
