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?
But yeah, back to the question that I was SUPPOSED to respond to. Haha. The poster is beautiful. The lighting, the mood, everything. Just by looking at that poster, you can automatically see the relationship Edward and Bella have. And the love they have for one another.
I love it. =]
and cryssi, i agree. everyone should be excited about this movie!!! i'm so happy that its being put onto film- i think robert makes a great edward, and kristen is good for bella too. i like the rest of the cast as well, even if its not exactly how i imagined them :D
thanx!!
I love it good job :)
it is exactly as i imagined it would be!!
great job on everything so far!!!
he is a talented photographer!!
its jsut the hand that seems really out of place..doesnt it look sorta of whats the word/...
not..??plain? i guess
only saying this since everything else looks indredibly awesome.
and omg look at those freakin eyes..
real vampire
:]
WOW, Joey great job!! I think the poster is really good. But in't Edward's face suppose to be really pale?? And I agree, they should have been looking at each other, or Edward looking at Bella..I have to admit at first I was very dissapointed that Robert was going to be Edward, but know I'm thinking he will probably make a great Edward =D I so canno't wait till the movie comes out!! or the next book! It's driving me Bannanas!!!! Please have the next poster ready soon!!! Thanks! good luck!!
But otherwise, it looks a little fake.
Hardly looks like they're in the scene together at all.
For one thing, what the hell is Edward doing in that position? It looks like he's standing at an angle, not even next to her.
I don't know, I think it looks strange.
For another thing, have you noticed her hand?... It just doesn't look right.
..I don't know, I expected something different.
Perfect.
Edward and Bella look amazing here!
By the way, Edward is my husband! =]
HA!
lol.
I love it! I love Edward's eyes. Amazing job.
neways hit me back id love to hear from you it would brighten my day.
hopefully you'll make this movie really good cuz they're my favorite books
xoxo u know u love me!
I don't like the poster. My imagination is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better. *sigh* Oh well... 78 More days till book 4... I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will Bella become a vampire, will they get married, will Edward keep his promise??? I WANNA KNOW!!!!!!!
love the poster
cant believe its so good
you think you have to wait
i live in england
thats a wait about twice as long
twice the torture
twice the anticipation
twice the excitement
i cant wait!!!!!!!!
i love this poster!!its perfect...though i would have loved one of edward's half smiles that drive bella CRAZY!!! but otherwise its just PERFECT!!!!
im lovin edward's eyes!! and bella looks beautiful!!!
so many unanswered questions
what will be the problem this time
what happens to Jacob: imprinting?
I am in england so i have to wait for so much longer than you lucky peole in America
This poster is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo amazing that i cant find the right words to explain
but i was slightly hyper-ventilating when i saw it
also when i read the books
i confess to nearly crying when edward left
i felt like i was bella and it was real
he really had left
i am below the age of 15 and havent experienced anything of love but the way stephenie writes is so realastic i cant help but feel like it's happened to me directly
waiting is torture!
I am not digging the direction they are taking at all.
just wish they we looking into each other's eyes with love and passion/protective and curious...
Still love it - good work!
God bless all those involved in the movie and book...and especially stephenie for enhancing my imagination :)
But I must say I'm insanely jealous of the photographer because shooting the pictures for the "twilight" movies is my dream.
I wish I could work on the movie's picture too.
But the guy taking the pictures is really good, so congratulations on your opportunity :-)
Edward is just so.... omg is he HOTT!! he is just so yummy. he sweats HOTTNESS.
i would love it even more if it was just edward.
i am not to happy with bella though. i mean not in the poster but in the movie. there are better and prettier actors to chose. I LOVE THIS POSTER!!
mostly because of Edward.
I AM A EDWARD CULLEN FANGIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i LOVE it
♥WOW♥
