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 went to the movies this past weekend and saw it up on the wall and had to contain the girly squeeling that came out.
It's exactly how I imagined. It definately portrays the feeling of intensity you should get from just looking at Edward in Bella.
I so can't WAIT for this movie, or the next book!
with love ~Frosh~
The poster makes the imagation came to live
YAY only 80 more days till the next book comes out from may 13th to August 2nd!!!!! yay!!
XD
Robert and Kristen go perfect for each other as Edward and Bella
OME!!
Can't wait for the next ones:)
AWESOME JOB MY GOOD FRIEND LAWRENCE (even tho u don't know me)
TWILIGHT IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lawrence did an excellent job. I cant wait to see the others. :)
just amazing
Where do I get one, huh? Ha-ha!
Okay, I called my friend over, who usually is not in the best of moods, her eyes lit up like a chrismas tree!!!
She lved it that much, Thank you guys for this, seeing it has made my day better!
Thats how much of a twilight freak I am!
Also, it does look a little photoshop-ish, but thats all becouse of Bellas face, I mean, make it do that a little, but still make her look a little human, you know?
I mean, if i didnt know what Twiligth was, and saw this, I would think, "Oh, this movie is about two vampires who fall in love." But I know better.
Also, have them looking at eachother, you know, with Edward staring at her, and her shyly looking up at him.
That would be better, dont ya think?
Otherwise, It is Great! I love it!
I'm sure many readers have been worried over how it would turn out but you seem to be doing great.
keep it up
Apart from that. the colours and contrast is really well done.

All I would change is the Edward! I realize he's already cast, but how disappointing. I mean, I'm a boy, but that Edward is U-G-L-Y, he ain't got no alibi.
But it doesn't convey the vampirism that would draw vampire fans it. It just looks romantic, which will draw people away. They should have made the little quote much larger.
And Edward's eyes are just way overbearingly gold. They're supposed to be topaz, but not UNNATURAL. And his hair ISN'T BRONZE.
WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?
Kristen actually looks better than Rob, and the difference between them is supposed to be almost comical, but not that way.
Kristen and Rob should totally trade hair colors in this photograph. Honestly.
I like it, though, despite all my critique.
