After the trailer for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse debuted yesterday, we got a lot of questions about whether a second, longer version was already planned for release.


Gossip Cop spoke with a rep for Summit Entertainment who told us there will (of course) be a new trailer at some point, but right now there’s “no talk… nothing in the works.”


So it looks like Twilight fans will have to make do for now with the trailer being shown before Remember Me this weekend… and, of course, YouTube, where nearly 5 million people have already watched yesterday’s release.


Gossip Cop will report on future Eclipse clips as soon as we hear.


Stay tuned…

The first official trailer for this summer’s The Twilight Saga: Eclipse debuted today (and is embedded at the end of this article), which means one thing: June 30 can’t come fast enough. After careful deliberation (read: re-watching the trailer over and over again), we’re more curious than ever to see genre director David Slade’s take on the teen vamp franchise. Here’s why you should be, too.


Fans were spoiled with a bounty of sneak peeks at both Twilight and last year’s New Moon, but since Summit’s playing this one close to the chest we haven’t seen much of the David Slade-directed third film, Eclipse. Until now. What kind of new vision did Eclipse director Slade (Hard Candy, 30 Days of Night) bring to the franchise? Has he fixed any of the awkward elements of the first two films, i.e. vampire make-up and special effects? And what tone has he chosen for the third and arguably most exciting chapter in the Twilight Saga, a story filled with romantic entanglements, big choices for Bella, and the looming threat of not only Victoria, but the Volturi as well? All of those questions and more get answered below as we highlight the best parts of the first Eclipse trailer.


David Slade’s Naturalistic Cinematography
It’s been clear through Slade’s on-set Tweets that the man has an eye for gorgeous photography; that sensibility is evident in the way he’s chosen to film Eclipse, with naturalistic cinematography unlike both Catherine Hardwicke’s lo-fi Twilight and Chris Weitz’s crisp and polished New Moon. The landscapes we see in the trailer, all mountains and sparkling rivers and muted light peeking through the clouds, emphasize the setting of Eclipse’s big showdown (without a single glimpse of Victoria’s new hunting ground, Seattle) with location filming that looks fantastically authentic.


First Look at the New Victoria in Action
No matter how you feel about Rachelle Lefevre’s departure from the Twilight franchise, you’re just going to have to get used to Bryce Dallas Howard’s new Victoria. So it’s a good thing that the trailer introduces her in a big way, by leaping across a river in one impressive effects shot. More importantly, it also shows how Slade’s vampire action might solve the weightlessness problem of Twilight’s wire work while feeling more realistic (i.e. not too CG heavy) than that in New Moon. (Then again, we don’t know how his fight action will look just yet.)


No Mention of Vampires
Okay, we all know Eclipse is a Twilight film, and therefore about vampires. And unless you’ve been under a rock for the first two films or have never read the books, or have never spoken to a single person who has, you may not know that heroine Bella Swan has a vampire for a boyfriend and therefore a BIG CHOICE to make in Eclipse. But the trailer avoids any specific mention of the word “vampire,” leaving us to focus instead on the swirling interpersonal dramarama building between characters: longing, hesitation, doubt, revenge, and good old-fashioned lurve – step one to making Eclipse more accessible to more than its core fan base, if such a thing is possible.


The Volturi Come to Forks
Hardcore Twilighters know that Jane (Dakota Fanning) and Co. only briefly show up in Eclipse, but their appearance in the trailer emphasizes the Volturi as a constant threat throughout the film. We may not actually see them until the end, but it’s nice to know there’ll be more of Dakota’s sinister Jane, who is incidentally rocking some new blue eye makeup.


Jacob Black is All Grown Up
Finally, little Jacob Black looks like he could actually give Edward Cullen some competition for Bella’s heart!


Quotes from the Book are Worked in Naturally
In this 90-second trailer alone we get a handful of familiar quotes from the book, which should delight those who know Eclipse by heart. Thankfully, lines like “I’ll be there when your heart stops beating” sound a LOT more natural than lines about lions falling in love with lambs.


The Proposal Scene!
When we spoke with screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg, she told us to watch for Eclipse’s proposal scene… and we get (part of) it right here in the trailer! (“Isabella Swan, I promise to love you every day of forever.”) Squee away.



Bella’s Mom is Back
After all of the time we’ve spent in dreary, rainy Forks, it’s nice to see Bella basking in the glow of the sun again – and hugging her mom Renee (Sarah Clarke), who we haven’t seen since Twilight!


Edward Cullen Almost Looks Like a Real Boy! (Almost.)
Real talk: the vampire make-up in Twilight bordered on theatrical. Though Chris Weitz toned it down in New Moon, it’s never looked as subtle as it does here in Eclipse, where Edward looks only slightly otherworldly and Victoria just looks like a girl who’s never been out in the sun. We’ll reserve judgment until we see more of the vampires in the full film (and see how Slade handles sparkling, if at all), but if the trailer’s any indication, Eclipse could give us the most realistic looking Twilight vampires yet.



More Shirtless Jacob Posing, If You Like That Sort of Thing
Of course, there’s the obligatory shot of a shirtless Jacob, standing tall in the mountains as his bare chest glows in the sunlight. And he’s upgraded to khakis.

As we’ve seen, everyone has their own opinion and breakdown of the newly release Twilight Saga: Eclipse trailer, and of course MTV is no different! One of the original Twilight Guys, Larry Carroll, has taken his own unique look at the trailer and has singled out five things that are missing from it. Check it all out below:


Jasper’s History
In “Eclipse,” Bella discovers that Jasper has scars all over his arms from vampire bites — setting off an eagerly anticipated flashback that will likely serve as Jackson Rathbone’s meatiest scenes in the series. The novel depicts Jasper weaving a wild story of Southern vampires who come out at night to do battle, a young vampire named Benito and his own history as a confederate soldier in Houston. Depending on how thorough Slade decides to be, the flashback could include his first meeting with Alice, old encounters with the Volturi and, of course, Maria (Catalina Sandino Moreno), the woman who turned him.


“Twilight”: The College Years
In a particularly intriguing series of moments early in Stephenie Meyer’s novel, Edward and Bella rendezvous in her room late at night for an evening of hot-and-heavy … college-brochure reading. The duo speak hesitantly about their future together, planning a life at Alaska University that could keep them together while Bella continues her education; Charlie, natch, ain’t down with that plan. Although it’s a minor plot point, the scene should give Kristen and Rob a unique moment to have some fun and show the bond between the two characters; let’s just hope Slade deemed it worthy for inclusion in the finished film.



Jacob’s Long and Winding Road
Take a look at Taylor Lautner in the trailer, and it seems like he could just as easily be doing scenes from “New Moon” — he’s trying to win Bella’s heart, he’s conflicted, he has no shirt, etc. But in “Eclipse,” so much more happens to Jake. Most significantly, he shares a crucial kiss with Bella; in the battle with the newborns, he is badly wounded; and after Jake learns of Bella’s plans to take her relationship with the vampire to the next level, he is arguably wounded even more thoroughly. Suffice it to say, Taycob will not be having a good time when we see him onscreen in June.


The Graduation
An extremely pivotal scene for Bella, who is beginning her “transformation.” The moment is very important in the “Twilight Saga” universe, and all eyes are eager to glimpse it. When, oh when, will we see Bella in that cap and gown?


The Tent Scene
Bella and Edward are hiding out in the forest, and the weather becomes unbearable for Bella’s human body to withstand — so guess who’s there to warm her up? Jacob! This is the scene everyone is talking about. In fact, even Taylor Lautner himself has said he couldn’t wait for this steamy sleeping-bag take.

Robert Pattinson, the smouldering star of the Twilight franchise, is the most besieged heartthrob on the planet, and you can’t blame him for being embarrassed by the adulation. He acts as if he’s been confused with someone else—which is true, in the sense that his fans seem to have him hopelessly mixed up with his Byronic character, the vampire Edward Cullen. He can’t leave his hotel room without being mobbed by teenage girls. Last week, when he showed up for a taping of The Daily Show, the screams from the teenage audience reduced Jon Stewart’s high altar of smart satire into The Ed Sullivan Show waylaid by Beatlemania. Which Pattinson seemed to find no less ludicrous than his host. But the more he sloughs off the attention with that twitchy, self-deprecating English charm, the more charismatic he seems. He’s Hugh Grant trapped in the body of a young Brando.

In an age of carefully groomed celebrity, Pattinson is a rare thing: the self-effacing superstar. The 23-year-old actor has good reason to feel sheepish. All we’ve seen him do is pose as an oddly chivalrous vampire in a couple of jejune vampire movies. There’s no denying his screen presence, and it looks like there may be a pretty good actor lurking behind the pretty face. But as his fame outstrips his work, he must feel pressure to prove it.

Now we can see Pattinson tackle a (somewhat) more serious role in Remember Me. Directed by Allen Coulter (Hollywoodland), it’s a more mature movie than Twilight, and his character is painfully mortal, but it’s still a romance. Despite some promising romantic comedy that bubbles up as boy meets girl, it soon gives way to earnest drama. With a backstory rooted in tragedy, the film is set in New York in the summer before Sept. 11, 2001. Which means someone is on a collision course with destiny: tears before bedtime.

 But Pattinson gets to relax into the role of a leading man who seems a lot like himself, if celebrity interviews are to be believed—a shambling overgrown adolescent with a messy room and a big heart. As Tyler, the estranged son of a callous tycoon (Pierce Brosnan with a Brooklyn accent), he’s a harmless wastrel. And he spends the first act with his Adonis features cut and bruised from a nightclub brawl. On a dare from his roommate, Tyler tracks down the daughter of the policeman (Chris Cooper) who arrested him, and talks her into a date without revealing the connection. Ally (Emilie de Ravin) is a college student who has her own issues with her dad, a hard-boiled cop from Queens. Tyler and Ally meet, cute and romantic repartee ensues, and for a while the movie comes alive—until family secrets emerge and the, uh, healing begins. Pattinson and his frisky co-star have good chemistry, but they’re stuck on a narrowing road to cheap sentiment.

Pattinson may seem cut out for an iconic role as a rebel without a cause, but these days it’s not easy for a heartthrob to find that kind of heft in a Hollywood movie. Brando exploded out of the gate fully formed, as a matinee idol with gravitas in A Streetcar Named Desire (1954). James Dean led a revolution in ennui with his film debut, East of Eden (1955). And Warren Beatty ignited his career as a leading man in the potent melodrama of Splendor in the Grass (1961), his first film. All three movies became classics and all, coincidentally, were directed by Elia Kazan.

So what’s a renegade heartthrob to do in an era where romance, not just sci-fi, is ruled by formula, and where the actors are so much better than the movies? Like Brando and Dean, Pattinson is an insouciant sex symbol with an alluring sensitivity, but Twilight is no Splendor in the Grass. Until he won the Hollywood lottery, he felt like a misfit—ever since landing his first serious stage role in London’s West End, and being fired before opening night. He tended to get cast as weirdos, from the vile Alec in a stage version of Tess of the d’Urbervilles to the young Salvador Dali in the film Little Ashes. Now he’s like a rock star without a band.

While he waits for a mentor to rescue him from the teen hordes—the way Martin Scorsese adopted Titanic’s Leonardo DiCaprio—Pattinson is making some bold choices. Co-starring with Uma Thurman, he’ll indulge in some dangerous liaisons as a Paris womanizer in Bel Ami, a film saturated with steamy sex scenes. A virtuous vampire needs to rough up his image. He’s also starring in Unbound Captives, a low-budget western in which he speaks mostly in Comanche. That’s one way to leave your fans in the dust.

Usually, MTV News waits to bust out a cheat sheet — one of our handy guides to everything you need to know about a major film release — until a film actually hits theaters. But we already have so much “Eclipse”-related content, and fan enthusiasm is so high for Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner’s new film, that we’ve gone ahead and put together a cheat sheet for the teaser trailer of the third flick in the “Twilight” franchise.

Read on for every casting development, every cast interview, every sneak-peek photo and much more. With over three months to go until the movie’s release, here’s MTV’s “Eclipse” trailer cheat sheet.

Beginnings
Even before “Twilight” hit theaters, Summit Entertainment optioned the rights to “Eclipse” in mid-November 2008. By early 2009, with the first vampire flick on its way to a $385 million worldwide haul, “Eclipse” got a release date: June 30, 2010. Names like Drew Barrymore and Juan Antonio Bayona were tossed around as possible directors before David Slade won the job in April of ‘09. Two months later, we found out that filming would begin in mid-August and wrap in late October 2009.

Gathering The Cast
Obviously, Pattinson, Stewart and Lautner would be back for “Eclipse.” But filmmakers had to flesh out a new cast of characters for the third film. In July came word that Xavier Samuel had signed on to play a “newborn” vampire. In August, Jodelle Ferland was cast as another “new” vampire. Other actors like Julia Jones, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Tinsel Korey, BooBoo Stewart and Jack Huston joined on as well. But the biggest casting move came in July, when Bryce Dallas Howard controversially replaced Rachelle Lefevre in the role of Victoria.

“Eclipse” Stars Dish
As the months went by, the stars of the film started to share their excitement about “Eclipse” with MTV. Jackson Rathbone and Kellan Lutz spoke about their intense preparation for some fight scenes. Lautner revealed his excitement about working with a new director. Ashley Greene gushed about Slade’s gritty vision for the film. Howard admitted to the trickiness of taking over Lefevre’s role. And Stewart dished about one of her favorite “Eclipse” scenes. The list of interviews goes on and on.

First Looks
Shortly after the start of filming in August, we got our first look at the cast in action: Howard and Samuel locking lips. Slade also posted pictures on his Twitter account, including a stunning one of Lautner flipping through the air. The first official still arrived in October: Pattinson and Stewart together in a field of wild flowers.

Enter The Trailer
Word dropped in February that the “Eclipse” trailer was set to debut during screenings of Pattinson’s romantic drama “Remember Me,” which is poised to hit theaters on March 12. Early this month, Pattinson revealed that he’d already seen the trailer. The rest of the world can now say the same thing: the love-triangle-displaying, vampire-action-revealing trailer hit the Web on Thursday (March 11).

Well it’s here. The “Eclipse” trailer has hit and been graded, and now the countdown is ticking down the (112) days until the latest installment in “The Twilight Saga” hits theaters. We’re sure many of you have watched, rewatched, watched again and analyzed every last minute detail of the trailer, but we’re here to toss in our two cents just you don’t miss a thing!

The meadow scene. Oh the meadow scene. What a way to kick off the “Eclipse” trailer. This seems to be another one of Bella’s dream sequences since the visuals match up so well to what we saw at the beginning of “New Moon,” but there is also a chance this could be an actual sequence.

Fans have taken to MTV News to react to Thursday’s (March 11) premiere of the “Twilight Saga: Eclipse” trailer. And judging from comments left on blogs and articles about the preview, Twilighters can’t wait to see what happens next for Bella, Edward and Jacob.

Mark Anthony Sanchez wrote, “So excited for ‘Eclipse’ … it’s gonna be epic.” Darkheart26 added, “That was perfect! So far so good! Looks like they are staying true to the book so far! Loved it all. The love triangle, Victoria, and Volturi and freaking Jane looks awesome. Love it!”

The trailer confirmed for some fans that David Slade was the perfect director to take over the franchise for the third flick. “I am still in shock that David Slade made the trailer look very cool,” Ajosk wrote. “I am so sorry I doubted him. I can’t wait to see my favorite book that will become a movie on June 30.”

And while fans have gained confidence in Slade’s decisions as a director, there are still some fans questioning the replacement of Rachelle Lefevre with Bryce Dallas Howard. Soccerbabe111 wrote, “This was amazing!! But I still think that Rachelle would have been better for the part. Bryce just looks too fake and I feel like she’s gonna be really bad!!!”

Fellow fan Maury agreed. “I loved the trailer. However, when Bryce was shown I didn’t like her. I still prefer Rachelle. She looked too fake. Can’t wait till June 30 (even though I will probably see the movie until July 1 lol).”

However, Sandi probably summed it up best for all the fans. “OMG I have chills! I CAN’T WAIT!”

Movie: Official Eclipse trailer review: C

Pros: The official Eclipse trailer promises more action, more drama, and more teenage boys without shirts. Take that as you will.Cons: It’s more of a teaser, really. Doesn’t hint much at the plot.
Well Twi-fans, here you go. The official Eclipse trailer is online. And yes, it features some hot Edward and Bella action, a half-naked Jacob (does he ever wear shirts?) and that crazy redhead evil vampire, Victoria. In a nutshell, the official Eclipse movie trailer shows Edward and Bella coming closer together/drifting apart, and Jacob evilly trying to steal Bella away. The official Eclipse trailer doesn’t have a lot of plot information, but so what? It’s not like people aren’t going to see it.One thing I don’t understand (and isn’t addressed in the official Eclipse movie trailer): why doesn’t Edward want Bella to become a vampire? In the Twilight mythology, there are practically ZERO downsides to being a bloodsucker. But I digress.

Here’s my breakdown of the official Eclipse movie trailer:0:15 – What a pretty field! Seriously, that’s a great shot.0:24 – The return of the Voltari, after chasing Victoria.0:27 – Nothing is creepier than a red-eyed Dakota Fanning.0:33 – “Why are you so against me becoming like you?” GOOD question.0:38 – Creepy mustache.1:06 – Cool jump. See, what human wouldn’t want superpowers?1:16 – “You don’t know what you’re getting yourself into.” Jacob’s not immortal, right? He’d better be careful…1:19 – Slice of beefcake, anyone?

Check out the official Eclipse movie trailer on the left. If you’re not familiar with the Twilight series, it will be confusing. If you’re a fan, you’ve probably already reserved your tickets.

What can you say about a girl of 21 whose mother died? That she was young and beautiful and that she loved dessert, the Big Apple and Robert Pattinson.

OK, so I’m clearly no match for the late Erich Segal. The point is that Remember Me is a romance in the vein of Love Story – not so much with the whole fatal-illness subplot, but in its story of a sensitive, slumming rich boy (Twilight’s chief vampire, Pattinson) who falls for an impossibly winsome working-class lass (Emilie de Ravin of TV’s Lost) against the glittery backdrop of New York City. It’s sappier than maples in March, which means some folks will lap it up while others may suffer a kind of moviegoing diabetes.

The movie opens on a Brooklyn subway platform in 1991. A little girl sees her mother mugged and then murdered before her eyes. Later, her police-officer father (Chris Cooper) shows up to set the mood of keening grief that rolls like a wave through the movie.

Cut to “10 years later.” (Briefly cut to me trying to figure out if this is before or after 9/11, then giving up.) The little girl, Ally, is now played by de Ravin, and attending the same college as Tyler Hawkins (Pattinson). Tyler is nursing his own wounded soul, and although it will be a while before the details are revealed, he wears his broken heart on his sleeve.

After Tyler and his goofball roommate get arrested for mouthing off to a cop (no points for guessing which one), the troubled youngster strikes up a relationship with the arresting officer’s daughter. The family connections are convenient – Ally’s dad can have him jailed, but Tyler’s dad (Pierce Brosnan) is a big-shot Wall Street lawyer who posts bail without a second thought. In fact, he doesn’t generally give even a first thought to his offspring, which include the clichéd precocious 11-year-old daughter (Ruby Jerins).

In fact, between the preoccupied dad and the whip-smart sister, Tyler’s life unfolds like something out of a movie – which is seldom a good idea when it’s also unfolding in an actual movie. He and Ally bond over a shared sense of loss and the unfairness of the world, while Cooper’s character flails about at losing his only daughter to another man. The young couple have a demure roll in the hay that ends in a tasteful blackout. You know the score.

Allen Coulter, whose directing career encompasses a lot of TV and the 2006 Ben Affleck film Hollywoodland, does an admirable job of shooting New York as an additional character alongside the human co-stars. And the acting is uniformly excellent, with Pattinson proving he can emote without the aid of immortality and sparkly skin, and de Ravin shrugging off her Claire character from Lost. If Remember Me is intended to tell casting directors, “remember me as someone other than my last/most famous role,” it’s a success.

Unfortunately, CSA members are likely to represent only the tiniest minority at screenings. The rest of us are interested in story, and the script, by first- time screenwriter Will Fetters, seems content to push the various romance buttons with all the enthusiasm of an accountant working a calculator. You could set your watch by the timing of the innocent lie, the misunderstanding, the spat, the speech, the reconciliation, etc.

Your timepiece won’t warn you of the film’s final twist, however, which left this critic fuming. “Violation of trust” might be too strong a term for what happens at the end of Remember Me, if only because I hadn’t invested all that much trust in the first place. Nevertheless, it feels as though a rule has been broken, and the unwritten law of cinema is that you have to be a much better movie than this one before you go breaking rules. ½
