It was supposed to come out tonight at 9 p.m. EST on Myspace, but the new “Twilight” trailer has leaked a few short hours early. How awesome would it be if despite all the hype, the tweener-vampire melodrama went nowhere? Anything’s possible, right? It could just be a super-dedicated, but small core audience that doesn’t translate into big numbers. We really do think this won’t connect on as massive a scale as everyone thinks, but we could be wrong. This trailer looks so over-the-top and cheesy. Kristen Stewart is so above this material. As you’d imagine, the YouTube clip got pulled, but it’s up on Myspace now.
Oh, God. My wife read all four of these books in like a week, and is now dying to see this movie. I feel bad cause it’s not often that she really wants to see a movie, when I drag her to dozens, but why does it have to be this? On paper it didn’t sound THAT bad, and could have been Lost Boys-esque I guess…but these trailers show it for the shit it seems to be. Like an episode of Buffy or Charmed (i’m guessing here cause i’ve never seen either, i swear to God).
I’m also being dragged to the Duchess over Body of Lies this weekend, but that one i think i can handle.
