SDCC Contest: ‘Twilight’ Comic-Con Swag

Empress Eve   |    |  

Geeks of Doom Invade SDCC 2008

Twilight CardsAs most of you Twilight fans know, Summit Entertainment had a Twilight panel at this year’s San Diego Comic Con this weekend (see SDCC 08: Summit Entertainment’s ‘Twilight’). On the Con floor, there also a Twilight booth, which had freebies, contests, and a chance to get your picture taken with cardboard cut-outs of the stars from the upcoming film.

It’s safe to say the Twilight booth was one of the more frequented ones at the Con. I mean, the whole place was a madhouse, but that booth did real well this weekend. I fought my way over to it to see what kind of swag I could get my hands on. I missed out on the t-shirts, but I did snag a small poster and trading card sample set for myself and also for my niece … and extra ones for you guys who didn’t get a chance to go to the Con.

I have five extra sets of the Twilight trading card samples. If you want a pack, then just leave a comment here telling me why you think the Twilight movie will be awesome. I’ll pick 5 winners from those who leave a comment on this entry and one person will also get one of the posters.

The poster is the previously released teaser poster of Bella and Edward (see it here).

There are four cards that come in the pack; you can see images of them here above (actual card looks much better, I’m still on the road without a scanner so I had to take a picture of the cards just so you could see what they look like). Each pack contains the same four cards. The back of the cards have character bios and quotes. These cards are just a sample from the premium trading card collection from Inkworks, which goes on sale November 2008. The full collection will include scenes from the movie, character cards, and more. In addition to the base set, the collection will contain randomly inserted bonus cards.

And I want all of you Twilight fans out there to know that I braved some crowd to grab these items and did so twice. But, it was worth it, especially since the second time I went I was given a ticket to get a shirt at the Paramount booth (don’t ask me why, but this practice is fairly common at the Con), so I walked away also with an Indiana Jones t-shirt (yes!).

Ok, now start commenting for you chance to win! I’ll pick the winners in a few days when I’m done traveling and back in the real world. I’ll update the post to let you all know. Good luck!

    Dear GOD(.com),

    I’m truly blessed by you. Everything I know, feel, love, think, dream and pray about stems from you.

    And as you know and have planned for eons, the time has arrived. The Second Coming of Christ can wait.

    Twilight is upon us.

    The ground shall tremble in the stampede of pubescent chicks driven to watch pale people leap-frog through the woods.

    Twilight is upon us.

    May earth’s denizens find shelter against a torrential river of blood (synchronized she-cycles).

    Sisters wrought with Edwardian obsessions, when given GOD(.com)’s free swag, should be able to forgive their thoughtful brother of any past sins.

    It’s another adaptation of a book to a movie, why wouldn’t it be awesome? The characters are incredibly well developed, and the plot hooks you at first “bite.”

  4. Amy Says:

    Hrm… well. its twilight.. a cult classic with in the first couple of years half way to being the next harry potter and starting out of the gate with movies a bit quicker… the casting is perfect the love story is perfect and even if the movie turns out NOT to be awesome we will all go see it again just to gawk at the chemistry between Edward and Bella that we have dreamed of when first setting eyes on the words that made up the romance that is epically destroying Ginny and Harry, Ron and Hermione, Ross and Rachel, heck even to the standards of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy….quite possibly Romeo and Juliet.Nothing is better than forbidden romance…book or movie….and thats why it will rock….

  5. laura. Says:

    There is a spirit to the books, a vivid feel to everything that both grabs the reader, and presents itself as a film in the imagination, if not the big screen. It seemed inevitable for a film to be made, if the success warranted it - and it has. The books are a phenomenon, and I usually veer away from such, but these books are addictive, mesmerizing, and impossible to put down. I am happy by the choice of actors, and director, and even screenplay writer - and pleased that Stephenie Meyer has taken a role in the film. I think Rob Pattison and Kristin Stewart will be wonderful as Edward and Bella - and I look forward to seeing how the supporting characters (and actors) bring those key players to life. I predict a new film saga, in the vein of LOTR, Potter, Star Wars - this time one I think I’ll find myself signing onto, for each opening night.

    Laura.

    My 13-year-old son (yes, my son!) got me to read the Twilight series and now we enjoy listening to the book CDs together. We’ll be there for the midnight showing together. The books and the movie(s - hopefully plural) have really made it so that my son and I could come together and enjoy something that not many parents get to do with their kids. It’s been a very exciting time for us! And there are many more (including this Friday night for the Breaking Dawn release!) to come! For that, I am eternally thankful to Stephenie Meyer and Summit Entertainment!

  7. Amber Says:

    I think the movie will be a wonderful representation of the book. What makes the story so great is that these characters are not perfect. They all have their flaws. They want to do the right things but each of them has a different interpretation of what the right thing is. I think the cast is going to be amazing in the film. From the sneak peeks we have seen, they seem to really inhabit the characters. You can see that they have inner turmoils as well as intense feelings for each other. I can’t wait to see the entire thing brought to life! It’s an amazing thing for all of the fans that Summit has been so great about sticking to Stephenie Meyer’s vision and not going off in some other crazy direction. I hope Summit decides to pick up adaptations for the other 3 books as well so we can all have a complete series on film. Thanks for picking up the great stuff from Comic-Con for those of us who couldn’t make it. You were brave to face those crowds twice!!

  8. Kelsey Says:

    The twillight movie will be awesome because it is based on the book by the all time best author ever…STEPHENIE MEYER! Her imagination brought these so real scharacters to life that oddly, everyone seems to be able to really relate to.Also because of the character’s relationship. Bella and Edward want each other sooo badly but they know it is also dangerous to be together. That will be great to have in a movie and Robert PAttinson and Kristen Stewart have some chemistry in real life too which will def. make the cutt! Plus who else to play a better jacob than taylor lautner! He is perfect! (Im till team edward though) he! Even thought, we know from the trailers so far that some things are a little off from the book, it makes us and everyone else want to see it for sure becuase we want to see how the movie will relate with the book!
    Even if you dont choose me I want to thank you soo much for doing such a nice thing. It must not have been easy going thru dat huge crowd twice. Good luck to everyone and as long as those cards go to a TWILIGHTER ill be okay!

    Twilight is a influence for many people to read more and express yourself. It has also inspired me to right more of my own material. The movie will reach out to even more people. It has such a great cast, a great author, and great producers/directors. Taylor, Robert, Kristen, Catherine, and Stephanie combined will make Twilight the Movie break records. With Twilight, anything is possible.

  10. Nicole Says:

    The movie is rapidly following in the tradition of great literary adaptations. It’s not necessarily that the books are works of great literary art, but its that on some level they have managed to pierce something deep inside the soul. They capture those basic of human emotions love, freedom, pain, jealousy, fear, joy, anger, lust, but most of all…choice.

    It is because of these basic tenants that the film will become a smash hit, so long as it embraces those themes that drove the book into the hearts of a generation of girls (and from what I have seen it has)…it will be an unstoppable box office success.

  11. Kayley Says:

    I know Twilight will be awsome because, it is a story that all girls can relate to and want, the unconditional love from Edward is like a dream to anybody, so just having a movie that shows that will be absoulutly fabulous!! Also all the loyalship and family that the Cullens show to Bella is something that all people want as well. Overall this book shows what is like to be LOVED! And hopefully the movie will show all of this,and stay true to the books!

    ********************************************** *******************

  12. Anjeline Says:

    i think the Twilight movie will be AWESOME because the books were! and also because Taylor Lautner will be in it! hahaha
    and may i just say that i think Twilight will and should do better than the next Harry Potter movie!!!

  13. Krystal Says:

    I think that Twilight will be awesome because of the fans’ devotion! As you have probably witnessed thus far, Twilighters are the most dedicated and amazing fans out there, creating as much buzz themselves as the books and movies do. Add that to the fact that the filmmakers are trying to be as faithful to the book as humanly possible (I did say human!), it should be an amazing experience! Much love to Geeks of Doom for this!

  14. Alissa Says:

    Well…
    First of all it is an adaption from the most amazing book ever so of course its going to be absolutely amazing!
    In the clips summit has shown us it just feels like twilight…it has a certain twilightness( I know not a word, but I said it)
    And that sneak peek scene of Edward and Bella in Edwards room and they started to dance (from penelope DVD) they had that chemistry about them that was just like Edward and Bella’s but yet they were still kinda of unconfortable in their new relationship and dont know how to move on with it…
    And then there are the actors…
    They could not have picked a better guy to play Edward. Rob Pattinsons face just has that bone structure that I always imagined Edward having…and then his american accent is just amazing..he just becomes Edward!
    Then Bella… Kristen just has that thin fragile frame that is perfect for Bella and helps show how voulnarable she actually is!
    And Cam..He is james! That Ballet studio scene just made me shudder when he bit Bella…He wasnt just playing a Evil vampire he was an Evil Vampire!
    All the actors where perfect…they chose well…escpecially Emmett..Kellan is perfect for that part escpecially that smile…
    Its Twilight!
    Its been and Always will be an amazing book..
    And i am absolutely positive The movie will have the same effect on people as the book did.

  15. selene Says:

    Ah!! omg. i want those trading cards, you guys are amazing! for giving them away. ahhh. ;]]]
    i hope i win.
    hehe,
    good luck to all.
    :)

  16. Marla Says:

    Ok, I am a divorced and single 49 yr old Mother and Grandmother who LOVES the books.
    When I first read Twilight, I read the whole book in one day and then off to finish the other 2 books.
    I know that the movie will be number 1 at the box office but what it means to me is this, Twilight pulls you into the story and you feel like you are there,going through the love,the pain,the heartache.It mesmerizes you and fills a void in you that you didn’t even knew you had.You can feel the love that Bella and Edward have for each other, not just in your mind but, in your heart and I know the movie will do the same.
    There are not enough words to describe how this book and the movie makes you feel,I guess what I am trying to say is that you are there and yet you aren’t.It has made me believe in love again and that there is someone out there for me.

  17. Kristin Rielly Says:

    I know the Twilight movie will be great because of all of the sneak preview footage I have seen (ie: Greenhouse Scene, Ballet Studio Scene). I am convinced this film will be the talk of the 2008 movie year. There will not be one year in review list that Twilight won’t be included on. When you watch Edward (Rob) and Bella (Kristen), the chemistry is just right. Two people you wouldn’t necessarily expect together at first glance who are perfect for one another. I remember when I first saw the teaser trailer “How old are you” …. “17″ …. “How long have you been 17?” …. “Awhile”. It sent chills down my spine (much like the director Catherine Hardwicke). I discovered Twilight because I am a fan of Robert Pattinson. His decision to take this role opened me up to an amazing series of books. I don’t think I’ve read for fun in 7 years. I just finished my MS degree and reading was the last thing on my mind. However, I wanted to see why there was so much fuss over this movie. After having read all three books and eagerly awaiting Breaking Dawn this Saturday, you will see me at every midnight release for each sequel because Twilight is going to become an International phenomenon. You think Comic Con was electric? You ain’t seen nothing yet! :)

  18. Christin Says:

    I am a new fan of the Twilight Series, having just heard about it in mid June. While attending a showing of Prince Caspian with one of my best friends, the first Twilight trailer was included in the previews. Due to the ghostly pale skin color of what looked to be the male lead (I now know this was Edward), my friend commented, “Well, he looks like a vampire.”

    My curiosity got the best of me and I googled the movie to see what it was about. Sure enough, she was right! How she ever received the “gift” of identifying vampires is beyond me, but she’d probably be handy to have around if you were ever going into vampire-infested lands and needed someone to pick them out for you, haha.

    So now with my interest peaked, I learned that the movie originated from a New York Times Bestseller, the book’s author had a website, and three books had already been written. Thus, I discovered this incredible Twilight phenomenon.

    I have since read the books and enjoyed them very much. It’s hard to resist being captured by the powerful relationship Bella and Edward share. For the movie, the second trailer has definitely got me excited. Some of the facial expressions and attitudes I saw coming from the actors (especially Pattinson) are exactly what I imagined them to be, and with the more I see, the more impressed I become. If the previews are any indication, then the Twilight movie will be amazingly awesome due to the actors’ portrayals of the characters. I tell ya what…December’s just won’t come quick enough.

  19. corinee Says:

    Twilight is the moving story that captured all of it’s readers. The Twilight movie will do that, but also take it farther. It will take us to places that Bella’s mind couldn’t go. It will show us action, love, and VAMPIRES like we have never seen before. The Twilight movie will be awesome… No… It will be VAMPTASTIC!!

  20. Michelle Says:

    I think the Twilight movie will be awesome because it’s an adaptation of an awesome book. Stephenie Meyer wrote her characters and settings with so much depth. I believe the fictional characters are portrayed by the best possible actors that could do so. The setting of the moive is perfect because it actually takes place where the setting of the book does.

    Twilight is a dream come true, literally. Stephenie’s dream of a vampire and a girl falling in love is becoming a reality through the art of a movie. It also became a dream of mine, and so many others once it was published. From what I’ve seen of the actors and the movie, I don’t think there could ever be a better adaptation of Twilight or it’s characters.

  21. Jasmine Says:

    Twilight is going to be the best movie ever for the simple fact that this movie involves 100% true fans and that the Cast and the crew are truly making this movie because it means so much to them, the fans and Stephenie Meyer. They will put all the effort into making it an awesome movie!

  22. Jasmine Says:

  23. Elizabeth Cullen Says:

    At first, when the first cast photos were released, I wanted to cry. Jasper’s and Rosalie’s hair looked like wigs. Rob’s face was horrible, not my Edward at all. And Kellan’s hair was short, not curly like Emmet’s should’ve been. And I never pictured Charlie Swan with a mustache (maybe because my uncle is named Charlie and I pictured Charlie Swan to look like my Charlie).

    But now (with all of the footage we’ve seen) I believe the Twilight movie will be to die for.
    Seriously though, the trailers have kept me on the edge of my seat, even though I know how it’ll end and I’ve watched them over and over a buzillion times.
    The music so far has been better than Harry Potter’s famous theme song (sorry all Potter lovers), I care more about music than just about everything else-so yeah, music is uber important.
    The Cullens are gorgeous. They fit their roles, appearance wise and behavior wise, perfectly. They are everything I pictured and more.
    Kristen is just perfect. She’s got the right blend of average yet beautiful, rough yet soft, and shy yet bold. Rob is, well let’s face it, HOTT!!!! I love the way Edward (Rob/Spunk) looks at Bella (Kristen), I love his crooked smile, and the way he talks.

    I’m glad the movie will be different from the book. If it were the EXACT same I’d be bored. I want to know MORE about Edward and Bella’s beginnings, and the movie will take me deeper into the love of Edward and Bella. It’s the perfect way to get better visuals.

    That’s only part of the reason why Twilight will be friggin’ amazing.

    I’d continue, but I’m already sounding like a cheesey, love-struck, obsessed teenager. So I’m done… for now anyways. L.O.L.

    ~Elizabeth~

  24. McKell Says:

    I think this will be the awesomest movie ever, because they have such a great story to work with and they have the best cast imaginable :D Rob and Kristen have amazing chemistry. and Jackson! oh my goodness its almost scary how well he does, everyone has done so well with their parts, they took a classic character and made them their own, and they are just AMAZING! Or there is one other answer i could give… IT IS ABOUT EDWARD CULLEN OF COURSE ITS AMAZING :D

  25. Rachel Says:

    The Twilight movie will be awesome because it is much more than a story. The Twilight series has created a community of die-hard fans (something the world got a taste of in hall H). But its not only the fans that will make the movie so great. After seeing the interviews I can tell that the actors have really immersed themselves into the movie. From covering themselves in chicken to composing songs….The clips and trailers are just samples of what looks like an amazing show. So in conclusion: Twilight is a good book, and will be a great movie.

  26. Pooja Says:

    the twilight movie will be awesome because all of the cast and crew are putting so much effort in the movie to make it great for all the fans. it will be amazing to watch, because you know that you(not necessarily, YOU, but the fans) were thought of while the movie is being made. the whole reason that a movie is being made in the first place is because if the strong reaction to the book. stephenie put so much effort into the characters and story, and now we get to experience it visually! and…it’s the twilight movie!!! how can it not be awesome!?!?

  27. Jenna Says:

    Hmmm… Let me think… Ok. The twilight movie will be so totally awesome because, well first of all, we get to see it hopefully from Stephenie’s view. Of ocourse, It’s not going to be exactly as she imagined it, but she helped put it together! It’s close to looking into Stephenie Meyer’s head as if we were all little Edwards! It’ll also be awesome cause come on, movies move faster than books! We can all see Twilight infront of our eyes with real pictures! It’s going to be a highlight of my December 2008.

  28. Teri Says:

    The Twilight movie is going to be awesome because of all of the care that is being put into it. With many movies based on books, the movie is changed to make it more “movie appropiate.” However, the book is so well written that it can act as a movie script on its own. The characters are so real that they literally jump right off the pages. And Summit’s approach to making the film is literally a fan’s dream come true because they are taking the characters right off the pages and putting visual representations of them on screen for us to enjoy.
    Not to mention the cast is the best. Robert Pattison and Kristen Steward really understand the characters of Edward and Bella. The whole cast seems to have a good idea of the characters they are playing and they have actually READ THE BOOKS! This is an extra bonus that cannot be said for many book turned movies (*cough* HARRY POTTER *cough*).
    So yes, of course the Twilight movie will be fantastic.

  29. Inez Says:

    I was never into the Harry Potter books, so I never really understood the huge media that radiated off of it.But, after becoming a loyal twilight fan, I finally understand all this frenzy.

    After hearing in one interview, Stephanie Meyer said that she believed the setting was just right (for the movie) and that was how she pictured it, I just had to automatically agree with her. Because, she was the one who wrote in and visualized it I will trust her judgement.

    The cast has great chemistry and I believe they will portray just what loyal fans are expecting. The movie, will hopefully pull in more than just average twilight fans, but reach to new fans as well. Many people can relate to this book, because the characters are not perfect and have made mistakes but they still love and feel just as every human does(even thought they may not all be human).Everyone has loved someone and can relate in one way or another to this film. That is one reason why, it can reach so farther out than to just loyal readers, but to also too a diversity of people.

    I just know, with all the hype already surronding the movie, come Dec. 12 those box offices will be selling out of twilight movie tickets. Whether it is because people loved the books, think the film looked amazing during trailers, or because they think robert pattinson is gorgeous? who knows. but twilight is going to be huge—and i think so many people are finally starting to realize that.

    p.s. sorry this is so long, i hope you can understand what i wrote and thanks for doing this—- i’m sure you had to endure many fangirls to get those cards. :]

  30. Bonnie Says:

    I think the Twilight movie will break records b/c it’s really every person’s dream I think. Vampires are known for their beauty but most of them don’t let their walls down the way Edward does with Bella. I think Robert will do a great job of showing Edwards inner struggle. The line “If you can live forever, what do you live for?” Pretty much sums it up for me. That line alone may have people lining up to find out that secret. The answer appears through out Twilight…if you can live forever, you live for love. Once you have seen the brightness of the stars, how do you go back?

  31. Jessica Says:

    Upon hearing the fact that they were taking on this project and making this book come to life, i was very excited to say the least… no scratch that, i was as happy as a kid on christmas. Now after seeing the cast and some of the scenes, trailers, behind the scenes footage, i can only say that this movie is gonna be one of the best of the year. Not only are the actors and the director, fans of the book, but in my opinion, it looks as though they really do understand these characters and the struggles that they face, especially rob and kristen, which i see as two of the hardest characters in the entire story to portray.

    Not only are the cast absolutely perfect in the sense that they are some of the best up and coming actors in hollywood, but there is also the fact that there’s not only just romance and inner struggle that we get to see, but there is a ton of action (especially some that we dont get to see in the books, since it is from bella’s perspective) that can satisfy many guys who get dragged to this movie by their girlfriends. From the visual image of the fighting scenes, to even just seeing the city of forks (filmed in Oregon),i don’t think anyone can deny that you feel a sense that you are there and that this place and these characters are in fact real. In a way the movie does get to show us much more than just when you’re reading it and trying to visualize it in your mind.

    What i think this movie does that sets it apart from other book adaptations is the fact that they (i believe) catch the soul of what this story is really all about. Catherine and all the actors really understand the inner core of the story which is the romance between two people who by nature should never be together but are so drawn in both a good and bad way, that you can’t help but fall in love with the story and only hope that in the end their love can prevail against any obstacles that they face.

    Overall, i believe that with the direction Catherine has taken it in, the way all of the actors have tackled these roles (that are very important to a lot of fans), that this movie will definitely be a December hit and here’s to hoping that a sequel will soon be in the works!!

  32. Cynthia A. Says:

    The Twilight movie will not be awesome, it will be incredible. The movie is based on the book, which is absolutely amazing. It truly encompasses every feeling there is to be felt. The book is filled with a sincere raw emotion that can’t possibly be reproduced. Aside from the incredible story behind it, the people involved with the film are amazing. Everyone, cast and crew, are so involved and putting in an unbelievable amount of effort into this project. And the multitude of fans backing this project and everything it stands for, is what’ll help this film reach it’s full potential. All these things combined are what makes a film thrive, and i don’t think anyone can disagree.

  33. The Book Girl Says:

    this movie is going to rock! Its got some amazing people playing our beloved characters and even if it didnt its Twilight! They can completely screw it up and it’d still be amazing simply because we can see it all come to life! It cant wait <3 And even if it sucks at least there are some cool posters and trading cards to gain from the event :-p

  34. TwilightMOMS Says:

  35. marcela Says:

    Urgh. Though I feel my chances are quite slim, I imagine an attempt couldn’t hurt.

    The plain and simple reason the Twilight movie will be awesome is due in HUGE part to the fans. The book’s story is a great one, to say the least, which an enormous following. That alone I imagine is quite intimidating for every person involved in the making of the movie. But it’s happened before where the movie hasn’t lived up to the hype (case in point: Eragon). However, this book just sucks you right in from the beginning and leaves even the quietest, shyest girl a raving fangirl when it comes to the characters. Due to the enormous fanbase, there’s an equally large amount of raving, unabashed and clever fangirls, and the studio might want to remain on their good side. If they ruin the story, it’s probably likely they’ll ruin their movie and careers.

  36. Ness Says:

    Twilight is going to be awesome because the director and cast truly wanted to bring Stephenie’s work to life. Stephenie is happy with the screenplay and the casting. I’m thrilled. The action scenes are going to be so cool! Go Team Edward!

  37. Kylie Says:

    1. The actors and actresses are so in love with what they are doing, you can see it in their faces when they talk about the film. And they look so much like their characters, Edward is every bit as beautiful and flawless as I had imagined. And Kristin as Bella?! Who would’ve thought it, I certainly didn’t. All of the vampires also look to be their beautiful best :)

    2. The crew are obviously some of the best on the planet. Have you seen the trailers?!?! Edward runs in the exact way I had pictured, and when he stops the car from hitting Bella, oh, it was breath-taking.

    3. Stephenie herself helped pick out the people who worked on this and helped out with many aspects of this film. If there’s anyone who wouldn’t let it be ruined, it is Stephenie. She has put so much thought into this entire being that I am more than sure that no one will be dissapointed in this film.

    4. The fans. I myself am only a newcomer to the series but by page 18 I had already fallen truly, madly and deeply in love with Edward Cullen :) I know there are LOADS of people out there who have been loving this series longer than I have and I know that NONE of them would miss this for the world. Even people who have never read the books must be intrigued enough by the trailers and the hype. Not to mention the sheer beauty of the actors :) Even if I had heard nothing of these books before, even if I hated how industrialized it all was, I would still go see this film because of how awe-inspiring I know it will be.

    5. The music, Robert Pattinson (who portrays Edward) composed Bella’s Lullaby straight from his head on the set. He said it just came to him, like a thought or a dream. I have studied Robert’s acting, he gets into his characters a LOT, this piece that means so much to all of the fans (including me :D) will be even more fantastic than any of us had imagined since Robert would have been thinking of himself as Edward. And there is also a band who will be making a special “Twilight” song especially for the movie!! How amazing is that?!?!

    To tell the truth, I did not expect anything to do justice to these phenomenal books. But I was more than surprised when I found out about this movie, everything fits so well, and it’s even better than I had imagined it. Even just the trailers take my very breath away, Catherine Hardwicke does this story justice and I am beyond proud of her!

    Thanks,
    From Newcoming Twilighter,
    Kylie :)

    Twilight is a beautifully written story about the love shared between two people ~ Edward and Bella. The challenges they face help to build the momentum in the story. I am very excited and looking forward to seeing this wonderful tale unfold on the big screen. I’m sure that the cast will bring their own talents to help make this story one that all can enjoy. Stephenie Meyer’s books are a work of genius. Twilight fans around the world are counting the minutes until Edward and Bella take on the big screen!!! I can’t wait!!

  39. Frozen Fire Says:

    How many reasons do you need? jk…

    There aren’t that many things that can incite fanaticism around the world these days. With technology like the iPhone and Wii it is hard to believe that a book has created such buzz. Twilight, with its sweeping romance, intense action and subtle humor has managed to jump start the literary world in a way similar to Harry Potter…and best if all it is being made into a movie. I and millions of others can’t wait!

    The thing that makes this movie great though is the dedication behind it. Dedication from the cast into bringing our beloved characters to life. Dedication from the crew to create our world. Dedication from the author in bringing her dream to reality and lastly dedication from the fans encouraging everyone involved every step of the way.

    When you have fans rallying behind the cast and crew months before the movie’s release and websites that track and anxiously await updates, photos and everything else movie related, it’s hard not to get excited about the movie’s release.

    Now if you need other reasons here are a few more:
    It’s a way for people to connect! Girls who would never meet or talk can find something they all relate to in someway or another. Mothers can bond with their daughters over the likes of Edward and Jacob.
    It combines religion, sports, drama, sex all into one compact wonderful story.
    It’s a fast, fun and easy read for all ages.

    I know I, and plenty other fans have enjoyed the series. We’ve recommended it to countless others (more like begged and pleaded until they caved in and fell in love with the series after reading it themselves) anyhow…Twilight is fun, thrilling and heart pounding at times, all the stuff that translates well into film. When you see something you love so much get transformed into something bigger with lots of hype and romance, you get excited. Twilight will rock, for lack of a better word, and I can’t wait.

  40. Tracy Says:

    I think the Twilight movie will be awesome because of all the visible determination and passion of the cast and crew of the movie who care for what we ,the fans, think. They want to please us and they worked hard to give us what we want. The movie will be great because of its wonderful plot: it has a little of everything…romance,action, and drama. It’s going to be great because our favorite book will really come to life. You can see the great chemistry among the actors that they really become the characters we have grown to love. The best part is that if Stephenie Meyer approved this movie…it will be great :)

  41. Brittney Says:

    The Twilight movie will truly be a dream come true for all twilight fans. Through reading Twilight, Bella and Edward’s story captivates readers, and we literally become emotionally attached to the characters. While we read we can feel what Bella feels and live vicariously through her. When we put down the book and leave Forks,so to speak, we are rudely reminded that it is just a story. That fact is devastating. The movie will allow us see Bella and Edward’s love unfold and deepen, instead of just read about it, which will add a totally different dimension to the story. It will verify what every reader imagined while reading the story. It still sadly won’t be a reality, but the movie will be the closest thing to it, and that will make awesome.

  42. Teygan Says:

    The movie is going to be perfect, because, like the books, the trailers and the teasers make me _swoon_. I’m 30 years old, and when I see the trailers, and the pictures, and the interviews . . . I giggle with excitement like I’m 13! It’s _crazy_ the effect these stories have! _Everyone_ involved in the movie just totally get it, and they’ve just completely gotten into the spirit of it all. It’s just so . . . AMAZING!

  43. Kylie Says:

    i believe that when someone puts their best and truest effort in making something great, it always turns out better than great.
    i have seen how much it has taken for these actors to get through everything. they get asked the same questions over and over but they always make it a better answer than what they said before. they stayed up and shot scenes then woke up early the next morning to shoot some more.
    everyone in this movie and has done 110% so that this movie could be great. its gonna be better than great

  44. Molly Says:

    Why will Twilight the movie reign supreme?
    Because it will take the talented Stephenie Meyer’s version, a version that she literlly dreampt up and wanted to see on the big screen, and turn that into a reality. Twilight the book really is something that people dream about, as Kristen Stewart said. This movie has given the fans the greatest thing of all time…a chance to see their favorite fictional characters and story in a visual way. This book, and this series, turned film will make the dreams of so many people all around the globe a reality. And, most important to me, it will give Stephenie Meyer some of the credit she deserves. She is an AMAZING author who deserves to be mentioned with fellow author J.K. Rowling. She has written a fantastic piece of fiction about forbidden romance and shocking danger. Shes made us all fall in love with her characters and her books. And now, we’ll fall in love with the movies.

  45. Julie Says:

    I just think that the fact that Stephenie Meyer has stated that the cast is perfect, that the plot is wonderful, that the movie has meet the standards of the author that created the world of which they are representing. I also think that the fact that they went out of the box, trying to see the book from different views, makes the movie different from the book yes but also makes it more indepth than what Stephenie wrote, which was from Bella’s p.o.v. why not see Twilight from the other characters and I feel that they added the other character’s p.o.v’s to the story making it just as great as the book.

  46. Nikki Says:

    The movie will be great because it’s based off of am awesome book! The characters and actors are well thought out and have a great presense.

    A regular high school girl meets a riduculously beautiful boy who turns out to be a vampire; hot cars zip through dark roads and superhuman creatures run through forests at the speed of blur; a family of immortals dedicates themselves to being forces of good; a trio of the most dangerous predators on earth chances upon a friendly baseball game; the list goes on and on. Really, what’s not to like? For the girls, there’s the perfect, mysterious man of their dreams; for the guys, there’s all the speed, power, murder and mayhem that any adrenaline junky could ask for. The movie has adapted Twilight well to the silver screen while staying faithful to the spirit of the book, so it will appeal to the absolute newbie and to the Twilight fanatic who knows the stories chapter, page and paragraph. Awesomeness? It’s guaranteed!

  49. jaz Says:

    welllll..
    the twilight movie will be ABSOLUTELY AWESOME BECAUSE well..
    aanything relating to twilight is VAMPTASTIC.
    but ANYWAYS,
    its going to be an ENORMOUS HIT because of the fan base.
    every twilighter HAS BEEN anticipating this movie since april.
    also, the cast is absolutely perfect.
    every girl wants rob jjust how every female on earth wants edward cullen.
    its amazing how a dream (literally) is going to hit the big screeen.

  50. MargaretJ Says:

    “Twilight” will be the best. Movie. Ever. because it’s got everything. It’s got love and romance, it has family, it has funny parts and sad parts and action, and even a prom at the end. And, oh yeah, vampires. And, double oh yeah, Edward. How could this movie NOT be awesome?

  51. Lauren Says:

    Twilight is the best. It will be seriously awesome. OMG OMG OMG.

  52. Kelly Says:

    Hmmm… let’s see. The Twilight movie is going to be fabulous for three reasons:
    1) It’s Twilight.
    2) The cast and crew are the most perfect and dedicated people ever. I mean hello! Robert pretended to be American for two months to work on his accent. Major props to everyone involved.
    3) People like you brave all of the other rabid fans to get their hands on merchandise.

    Yes. I’m convinced it will be the best movie ever. Too bad I’ll die once I see the trailer in theaters.

  53. Stephanie Says:

    Besides it’s Twilight! The greatest book in the world! The characters are real. It’s not like some cheesy vampire movie that has been done a million and one times. The heroin (Bella) isn’t over the top goth girl that only goth people can relate to, she’s a normal girl that just happens to be in love with a vampire. The special effects are amazing! The actors that play the characters are exactly like the book. And Edward Cullen is in it! That should be reason enough! :)

  55. Carmen Says:

    Edward Cullen is, as Orson Scott Card said recently in TIME magazine, today’s Mr. Darcy. Now, look back on another adaptation: the A&E Pride & Prejudice. It wasn’t even a film in a theater, and yet it’s a cult classic with waves of influence still steadily reverberating throughout pop culture to this day. I’m one of those who tends to see movies in the theater only if the theater will add something to the experience for me; I also will not buy movies unless I know I’m going to watch them more than once a year. (Hence why I don’t own any of the LOTR trilogy; while they’re breathtaking masterpieces, they’re just not something you want to watch every other day. When I want to see them, I’ll rent them or borrow them.) Twilight is going to be an awesome movie because, like Pride & Prejudice, it’s going to send shock waves around the world and they’ll never stop going. Edward is now as much a part of the fabric of pop culture as Mr. Darcy, an archetype unto his own, and the film will solidify that beyond anyone’s reckoning. Also, Twilight fans are going to see this movie countless times in the theater. I mean countless. (What are you doing today? Oh, nothing. Want to go see Twilight again? YES!!) And when the film goes to DVD, fans will be waiting at midnight just as they’ll be waiting at midnight for the release of Breaking Dawn this Friday night. Every Twilight fan will own this DVD, and they’ll watch it repeatedly and know every line. Twilight the movie is already a cult classic and it’s not even in theaters yet!

  56. Nicole Schroeder Says:

    Twilight the movie is going to be amazing because it the adaptation of an extraordinary book that not only has romance, action and adventure, but also invokes an almost tangible connection to the emotions being portrayed by the characters. What’s going to make the movie even more amazing is that it’s being directed by Catherine Hardwicke, who has been adamant about staying as true to the books as possible.

    And I truly believe that us twihards, ourselves, have a little bit to do with why the movie will be awesome. From the moment it was discovered that an adaptation of Twilight was going to be made, we have been actively following its development and the cast and crew have been very accepting of our enthusiasm. Enthusiasm has a way of trickling down the lines, and I believe our support will be reflected in the character portrayals by the actors and the attention to detail by the crew.

    Oh, and the complete and utter sexiness that is Robert Pattinson isn’t going to hurt either.

  57. Amanda Says:

    Like any film adaptation of a beloved book with obsessive fans, it’s an uphill battle to create a film that is at least within the ballpark of most fan’s vision of how the story should be played out visually on screen. After all, it’s hard to capture the thrill that a reader first got when absorbing the book for the first time. But I’m optimistic about the film. What has impressed me about all of the interviews of Twilight cast, crew, and particularly the director, is that there is a genuine dedication to solid performances that are true to the characters and a storyline that is loyal to the original book. I think that the care and dedication put into the film will pay off (literally and figuratively) in the end and fans will walk out of the theater satisfied… and go back for more. And more. Even if there is outrage at such and such scene or disgruntled reaction about someone’s performance, at the end of the day a visual adaptation of a vivid and compelling story will satisfy (and drain the wallets of) even the pickiest of fans. After all, the Entertainment Weekly cover featuring the film’s two stars sold out, despite the outrage many voiced at the way they were portrayed… just goes to show actions speak louder than words! Regardless, my actions will include seeing the film on the first day of its release, although I’ll never forget the feeling I got when reading the books for the first time. That’s the magic that an author provides to his or her reader, that even the best of actors and directors can’t ever completely replicate.

  58. Emma Says:

    Twilight which is going to be adapted into a Film, will be by far the greatest acheivment for Stephenie Meyer, the Twilight Cast Crew, and Everyone who put they’re hard time into making a simple dream, onto the Big Screen. What I find amazing, is how involved Stepenie Meyer was with the Film’s script. When most Producers buy legal rights to make a movie, They leave out the Author completly. But! Stephenie was active, voicing her opinions when asked, and editing tid bits of scripts. That’s going to be very good for us Twilighters, because- Hey, The movie wont be that Different from the book. Of course, Everyone (when reading The Twilight book) Must have seen it played out in they’re brains like a movie. Its so interesting to see The all the actors Catch the Characters essence and then chanel it onto a camera. The best part? The actors couldnt protray the characters any better. Sure, everyone has they’re different views on how the characters looked like- But, Hey! Twilight is being made into a movie, so I’m not complaining! :)
    They put a lot of time and effort into filming, so I can already tell by the teaser trailers that this movie is no doubt-
    going to be vamptastic. :D

    ♥,
    Emma

  59. Mary Ann Says:

    The movie will be awesome because
    1. It is based on an awesome book by Stephenie Meyer
    2. Catherine Hardwicke directed it - and she loves the book
    3. Robert & Kristen are in it and have great chemistry
    4. It is full of fabulous vampires and humans…Rachelle, Cam, Edi, Kellen, Jackson, Ashley, Nikki, Elizabeth, Peter, Anna, Billy, Taylor

    Need I say more?

  60. Stephanie Says:

    Twilight will be the best movie ever because ….

    1) EDWARD CULLEN

    2) ROBERT PATTINSON

    3) THEY ARE BOTH SEXBOMBS! ;)

    That should answer your question right there lol. This movie is will be the start of a MOVEMENT….a SEXBOMB MOVEMENT that is…

    I have developed TEET (Twilight Excessive Eye Twitch). I actually went to an opthamalogist. He told me that it was caused by 1 of 3 things. 1-too much computer time, 2-stress, 3-too much caffeine!! Ya think? I paid money for him to tell me this? I spend too much time on the computer checking out Twilight the Movie, I am stressed and high on adrenaline and caffeine waiting for December 12!! This is going to be a blast!! Now, let’s just hope that I don’t go blind until December 13……..

  62. Andrea Says:

    I think Twilight will be amazing because it’s going to be an adaptation of something that’s already marvelous. It has an amazing cast that I’m sure will bring this great story to life and add to it at the same time.

  63. Joyce Says:

    It will be awesome, well, because the book is awesome. That about sums it up.

  64. Emily W. Says:

    When I heard there was going to be a movie, I was estatic. I didn’t really think hard about anything but, there was going to be one and I was happy. Then, the pictures started to come out. I almost cried when I saw how some of the vampires (like Jasper) didn’t look anything like I thought they would. I was glad to see most of the characters looked like I thought they would, but some I cringed at.

    Not long afterwards, the behind the scene’s clips started coming out. I jumped for joy when I saw that all the characters looked so much better in the movie then in there photo shoots.

    Then, after a lot of waiting, the first teaser trailer was released. Once I saw that trailer, I knew I had nothing to worry about. You could tell that each character got into there part (Like an interview with some girls at Twilight Theory Series, showed that Rob, stood in a little isolated area for a few minutes and got into character before he went out to film).

    However, that is not why I think this movie will be great, but it is part of it. I think this movie will be great because you can see the effort that everyone put in. Not only did the actors/actress get into character, but the director was just as excited about making the movie as Stephenie Meyer was with writting the books.

    I am so happy that we are getting a movie out of one of my favorite books of all time and that is why the movie will be great. I think, even if they mess up a few parts, the fact that someone actually wanted “Twilight” to become a movie makes this movie great without even seeing it yet.

  65. Andrea Says:

    I know Twilight will be amazing because it’s got a story that is very powerful and very much loved. Everyone involved has done their best so the movie can be amazing and all of us Twilight fans can finally have this story come to life.

  66. Christina Says:

    This movie is going to be osm!!! omg rob is so freakin hot!! the best edward ever!!! i luv the books so much!!!

  68. Elise Says:

    I think it will be awesome because I think they picked the cast very well. I think they will please the fans.
    Robert is a perfect Edward, and Kristen is the perfect Bella. All the other cast is perfect too!
    I think they will be really close to the book even though it’s a movie. The sneak peeks are really good. They really have put a lot into it, and I’m impressed by that. :)
    I can’t wait until the movie and I would LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE these cards more than anything…
    So, though this probably won’t win, I just wanted to let you know that I really want those cards! lol…

    cant wait to buy the next book this saturday! even tho it makes me sad that this will be my last chance to feel like bella! *tear*

  71. Maria I. Says:

    -I think that “Twilight” the movie is going to be awsome is because of the same reason we all twilighters love the book.
    1st.
    The actors have told us that they have done the best they could.
    2nd.
    They has Msr.Meyer as a guidance.
    (hello she’s the creator of the Twilight saga)
    3rd.
    (at least uptil now)they have the key points that made us fall in love with twilight in the 1st place :Bella&Edward, their love and intensity of thier relationship, james&victoria&laruent, and the danger&suspense.
    4th.
    if we are true fans will love the movie anyways and it will rock!
    -from: a twilighter.

  72. Emily Says:

    Why will it be awesome? One word: EDWARD.

    And also because I think that Catherine Hardwicke, the writers and the cast are really committed to the essence of the story while still wanting to make a great film.

  73. Pamela Says:

    The movie is guarenteed to be great no matter what! Stephanie Meyer is awesome! The book was incredible and there is no way they can get away without making the movie just as good. In order to portray what the book is giving to all it’s fans, the movie has gotta be as close to the book as possible or everyone will be lost, confused, and dissappointed!! But it will be wonderful no matter what. i think that they picked a great cast and everyone i’ve watched interviews with is even getting into thier character as much as possible. They do not want all the fans dissappointed at all and i know that none of us will be. It’s gonna be wonderful and i think everyone knows that, there is no other way around it. A FANTASTIC BOOK = A FANTASTIC MOVIE!!!!! This isn’t just a movie like any other. The Cast and Crew are putting all their heart and soul and hard work into it as much as they possibly can. They know how many fans there are and how big of a deal this is to everyone and i know no one will be dissappointed!! I can’t wait!! I am so freakin’ excited!!!
    :)

  74. Kiana Says:

    I think Twilight will be a awesome movie because it’s Twilight!! It’s a great book (understatement) adapted into a movie. It has a really good cast and director (and crazy fans). I know they will all put in their best effort to make this movie truly awesome!!

    GO TEAM SWITZERLAND!!

  75. Courtney Says:

    duh we all know it’s gonna be the greatest ever because of EDWARD CULLEN!!!
    no one will be at all disappointed with this movie because he is the sexiest alive!!
    There is no way for it to be bad at all. it’s a great book and a great cast ROBERT PATTISON!! YAY!!!
    i am so excited and there are billions of others who are just excited and feel the same way =]

  76. Mary Says:

    I started reading the twilight series around this year. i was never much of a reader, even for school reports i just couldnt grasp the stories that were being told. Twilight was the first real book i have ever read that i actually finished. Im very happy that this book was my first. Once i started reading twilight i was so intersted with the high level of compassion edward and bella had for eachother i couldnt put the book down! As the story went on it just kept getting better and better and it was so unpredictable which is one of the many reasons why i couldnt stop reading it. After i read twilight i read new moon and then eclipse and eclipse kept me wanting more. A few weeks later after i finished the series i found out they were making it into a movie, i was super excited and i was very happy with the cast the whole cast was how i pictured them to be and i loved it! I ended up keeping tabs on everything between having countdowns and watching all the interviews and sneak peeks it looks like its really fitting the book it may not be exactly the same but honestly its hard trying to take a 498 page book and narrowing it to like a 100 page script, that must be tough. they still have alot of the parts in there. the ballet scene looks incredible! i think this movie will be number 1 in the box office without a doubt. while watching a lot of stephenie meyers interviews it shows how much she feels for her characters and it seems that she wouldnt want to let the story behind the book and the characters go. Also there are more then millions of fans (including me (: ) out there all ready going crazy about the trailers, sneak peeks, behind the scenes, and the completed scenes. If fans are already crazy about that then wait to the whole movie is put together. i believe it will be one amazing movie the story behind it is unvelievable and the cast is very well chosen. i realize that twilight is premeiring a couple of weeks after the next harry potter, i think that twilight will deffinetly beat harry potter. when the movie comes out i will be first in line and i will be amazed by the movie. i can’t wait! :D

  77. Amanda Says:

    Twilight will be the best movie of the year, all of the the actors and actresses are what I pictured the characters to look like. I know Summit Entertainment will do a very good job putting together this movie, I believe in all the actors, and supporst them all 100%. This movie is filled with romance and non stop action and thrill, the actors capture the characters so well. The Twilight Saga made me feel like I was seeing everything Bella and Edward went through with their relationship, and now that it will be a movie I can see what the book looks like from a professionals point of view. I am so excited that Twilight is being made into a movie. I can’t wait until August 2nd, I’m going to a Breaking Dawn party so I’m getting the book quite early in the morning (around 12:00am). I want to read the book when I get home, but my mom has to make me go to bed, but I really can’t wait, only four more days!!!!!!!!!!

  78. ariany Says:

  79. Michelle in New Mexico Says:

    The Twilight movie will be beyond awesome for so many reasons, hot actors, EXCELLENT story, rockin’ director and so on! However, above all I think (hope) it will help settle some differences my 13 year old daughter and I have regarding plot, intent, inference etc. It’s like, you know how 2 people can read the EXACT same words on a page but have 2 TOTALLY different ideas of what really happened? Someone will “read between the lines” or someone else will think they actually MEANT to say it this way… and so on! How do you decide who’s right? Since we all know how closely Stephanie worked with the production of Twilight the movie, we’ll all see first hand, for SURE, how she intended the story to go… and settle a few wagers in my house too! LOL!

    Thanks for the opportunity to speak out - we are anxiously awaiting Friday night and will continue to “endure” the months until the Twilight premiere - my daughter and I will be there together. Who knew a series of books and movies could draw a mother and daughter so close and actually have something we can talk about? Thanks a million to Stephanie and thank YOU Empress Eve for braving the crazed Twihards to grab some extras for the rest of us poor saps who couldn’t make it! :0) If we win a set, my daugher will think I rule!!!!!!

  80. Nichole aka Nikki Says:

    I am not ashamed to admit that I walked by Twilight on the book shelves since it came out. An avid movie fan I was clicking through teaser trailers not known that my life was about to be changed forever. “Twilight” based on the best selling novel. I couldn’t stop watching that minute long tease, click, click, click, click. I went out and bought all three books at once, read then within 5 days (a person has to sleep and work ya know) and at 29 years old I became a Twilight fan. Every new glimpse of an extra second from the the very best Christmans gift possible, Twiligh - The Movie, brings me in deeper and deeper. I have already hooked two of my co-works, several friends, and my roommate into the wonderful world of Twilight. Robert Pattinson’s intensity while he is Edward it remarkable (all you have to do is look into his eyes) as for Kristen Stewart… I can’t even find the words to describe how amazing I feel she is going to be as Bella. Not many movies taken from books have had the author behind it so vocal about their approval and here we have Stephanie Meyers just about shouting it from everywhere, even Comic Con. How can this movie not be AMAZING?

  81. April Says:

    Hey GOD! :D
    Thank you for doing this for us Twilighters out here!
    You know we all live and Breathe it :]

    You must be crazy because “awesome” doesn’t even begin to describe it!
    AMAZING! THRILLING! BREATH TAKING! ;]

  82. Kristen Says:

    Its simple. The Twilight series are amazing books. And great books get made into movies. :)

  83. Kelsey Says:

    Twilight the book and soon to be movie inspires so many people including myself. At least for myself, the Twilight story and the characters give me something to care about.
    The Twilight story also comforts so many people. Stephenie Meyer has such a creative imagination and has done a great job on her books, and with her giving her opinions on the movie, THE MOVIE WILL BE COMPLETELY AWESOME AS WELL!!!!! The characters in the movie…..Kristen Stewart as Bella, Rob Pattinson as Edward, Taylor Lauter as Jacob..Cam as James,Nikki Read as Rosalie…etc…are such talented actors/actresses that are perfect for their parts and they (from what AWESOME trailers and scenes i have seen) have done an AMAZING job with capturing their characters. Kristen and Rob have PERFECT CHEMISTRY!! The Catherine Hardwich, and all the producers will do a GREAT JOB on the movie as well!!

    Twilight will be an awesome film and a world wide phenomenon because…my husband worked his magic on the film! I was introduced to Twilight Fandom when my husband accepted a job working for the movie. I decided to read the books and I have to say…I’M HOOKED! My world turned upsidedown after reading the series and listening to my husband’s stories of the set. I found crazy mom’s like myself…waves to Twilightmoms!…and through Stephenies magic I have found a new group of friends and fellow Twilighters.
    I look forward to watching the film as many times as I can…is it December yet?

  86. Bella Says:

    I believe that the Twilight movie will be AMAZING because all of the actors are SERIOUSLY talented! All of the Cullens and Bela are VERY well represented. The humans also look the part of their individual characters. And I trust that Stephenie Meyer has take very good care of her beyond words,amazing, book and Im sure that all the major and important parts that make up the book that we all love will remain in the movie. I also think that Catherine Hardwicke, is a very good director and that she had us fans in mind when she made this movie. SO, in which case I KNOW that Twilight the movie will spectacular!

  87. Alyson Says:

    Well Twilight was an amazing book. I mean it seems underground, but once you uncover a small piece, you are sucked into this world. I think that just seeing the trailers with these actors really portrays the characters well. I mean that I think that the director chose good actors to portray such characters. I think Robert Pattinson (aka Spunk Ransom) shows his emotions very well and will prove to be a good Edward. I don’t think that it matters that these actors don’t necessarily look exactly like the characters. Who can portray the most gorgeous creatures? But the trailer gives me chills whenever I watch it because the chemistry that these actors have is mindblowing. We should all be excited because there are some great people, who I think, will be able to become these Twilight characters that all of us love so dearly.

  88. Chelsea Says:

    The Twilight movie. It is destined to be great, just as Bella and Edward are destined to be together. The casting is perfect, especially Robert Pattinson as Edward and Kristen Stewart as Bella. They exude these characters. Kristen’s voice is the voice I hear in the books and Robert has the best smile. Peter Facinelli is pretty great too. :)
    I think this movie will be great because the cast and crew and everyone working on the film really get how much this movie means to the Twilight fans out there. They know that we care that Alice’s hair might be a little long or Edward was actually wearing a blue shirt in the books in that scene, thank you very much. The actors also really care about their characters and really get into their roles, which means a lot. It’s great to see that Stephenie Meyer herself worked closely with the film and helped out with developing the characters even further. It’s extremely hard to read Twilight and not picture Forks High School, the Cullens’ Mansion, Charlie’s house…So to see this on the big screen is totally and completely Awesome.
    From the teaser trailers and clips that have been released, I think this film will blow us all away.

  89. Totty Says:

    I am extremley hopeful that Twilight the movie will be more than awsome… it will be spectacular! I’ve spent my entire life thus far, searching for a book that would not only entice my mind but would touch my heart. This saga devotionally written by Stephenie meyer to her characters and her fans, has done just that and much, much more. This saga has reached millions of people with its genuine love, and I strongly believe this movie will reach trillions on the big screen. With its brilliant actors, amazing director, and bright, bold, author(screen-play), this movie will make history. I believe in it and I know people all over the would will too.

  90. Emily Says:

    I KNOW the Twilight movie will be awesome because I think the actors representing each of the characters match perfectly. And seeing that Stephenie Meyer put all of her heart and soul into writing the series, I know she’ll make sure the movie will be just as good. (If not, better.) I’ve made so many new friends because of the Twilight madness. This is the biggest obsession of mine yet!

  91. samantha Says:

    well to put it simply…at first i wasnt sure how amazing the movie adaption of twilight would be because usually books turned movies can be let downs, but twilight is different, it gives out a different message than most fantasy type books and thats why people are drawn to it, because its so..relatable.

    for all i care (and dont get me wrong im so addicted to twilight its sickening) the movie could have been made with apes speaking spanish and i would still love it just because for me its not about what the actors look like, who they are or where it is…its about the raw emotion thats being shown and the inevitability of the whole situation that matters to me, they cant help falling in love no matter how hard they fight it nothing can keep them apart. so i guess THAT is why i think the movie will be so amazing. :]

    *and from what I’ve seen the actors have been doing an amzing job portraying the characters…and Catherine Hardwicke is just plain brilliant!

  92. Andrea Says:

    I think this movie is going to be amazing. Sure die hard fans are going to be a little miffed that their favorite character doesn’t look exactly like they imagined when reading it but they need to get over it and go see the movie. I think it will draw in a lot of new fans for the book, a movie is such a great way to acquire more fans, take Harry potter for example, yes a huge book before the movies but once the movies came out it exploded. I can only hope the same happens for Twilight. I am also depending on the Twilight movie with all its glorious action and fight scenes to lure my boyfriend who has been boycotting the book for months. I even stole all his “toilet readers” from the bathroom cupboard and replaced it with twilight one day HAHA but alas he did not crack. I love to hear when boys read Twilight and they get hooked into it, I have a feeling that the movie will help draw in those male fans more. I personally think the actors look amazing and seem to fall right into their characters. Rob and Kristen are great and in my opinion Emmette looks like he jumped out of my head in his full teddy bear awesomeness. I am thankful to not be in school right now because if I was I would be failing all my classes because if I am home I am researching the latest news on the movie lol. We are so lucky that Stephenie Meyers got this cast and crew to bring her book to life and I could only imagine how magical that feels to her if it is taking my breath away. I really hope all the fans just let go and accept the movie for what it is and support it with their full force. I can’t wait to see it blow Harry Potter off the number one list!

  93. Heather T. Says:

    I think this movie is going to be breathtaking. To bring a most beloved book full of the most amazing characters to life is almost unreal. To see the emotions of the characters and feel them again as you did the book. This movie will be one of the best in history. Not only where the cast very carefully picked, but also to know that Stephenie Meyer herself had some sort of say and involvement in the film will show how hard they have worked to make it everything we Twilight fans expect.
    Not only will it be Twilight fans who fall madly in love with the film, but others will be watching who have never read Twilight and this will spark the interest in many more readers. The Twilight fan base is already so huge and will become even bigger. The book has really changed the lives of many fans and the movie will do the same.
    Where people of all ages can relate to the characters because even if they may not be, they are just so human. They have flaws and make mistakes. They try to live in a constantly changing world. These characters have so much emotion like our own that it’s impossible to not think them real.
    What I love is that people who are all so different can come together because of Twilight. They can sit down and discuses a book and all feel alike for a moment. It’s a great feeling to know there are others like yourself out there.
    But the best part of all is those people who constantly make fun of the Twilight fans for our love and obsession, will finally come to terms. Those who never had an interest in reading the book will watch the film and finally understand what we see and feel. They will realize how amazing and real it is and they will have to apologize for their constant nagging. They will realize that Twilight is not just about vampires, but about love, and the inner struggle of each character. That these characters can be even more human then themselves at times.
    I just know this film will change the perspective of others takes on just another popular teen book. They will come to realize how different it is and how amazing. This film will truly be beautiful.

  94. Amber Pederson Says:

    Ultimately, the dedication is what will make this film spectacular. It won’t be EXACTLY what the fans imagined or with scenes that mirror the book EXACTLY, but there were fans of the books involved in the process. Right there, that instantly ensures that the crew involved will take care of this production. Not only that, but they respect the story, fans, and Stephenie enough to allow Stephenie to be involved. That is never a requirement. If all they had wanted was to make a quick bag of cash, they could have slapped something together. Instead, they took the time to consult Stephenie on aspects of the movie so that it could remain true. I think that guarantees us a success from the start.

  95. Racael Says:

    Twilight will be the best movie in the history of the planet because it is Twilight. It has several different genres to suit everyone. action/thriller/romance. It has the best plot. It has the cutest quirkiest lines ever. The cast and crew are so amazing. It is being true to the book which is what the fans need. The two leading roles have so much chemistry that the sight of them together makes your bones melt. And it also has ROBERT PATTINSON!! What more could you ask for???

  96. Emma Cooper Says:

    The Twilight movie will be awesome not because it has a fantastically gorgeous vampire in it, or because it has a massive fan base of people sighing over the drool-worthy vampires. It’s because the plot is so original, taken by an unproven author who had the strength and motivation to make it a reality. Without her, the movie would never be made and the magic of ‘Twilight’ would never be felt by millions of people across the world. With ‘Twilight-fever’ (as I like to call it) raging, the crew responsible for making the Twilight movie have a lot to live up to. I firmly believe they can do it, they’re giving people an opportunity to fall in love all over again. Twilighters are the real force behind Hardwicke’s motivation towards the movie, and I think the fan based spirit will ensure its as fantastic as they’re expecting it to be.

    Finally, It’s going to be awesome because the story is so magical and the movie team are going to make it so much more riveting by providing all us Twilighters with new faces for our beloved ‘Bella’ and ‘Edward’. (Not to mention their promotional stuff is awesome!).
    Thanks!
    Emma =D

  97. Christina Says:

    Twilight is an epic romance. From the moment I read the first book, I knew it would become a classic. A hundred years from now, when people talk about “the classics”, they will speak of Shakespeare, Austen, Bronte, Alcott, Twain and among others, Meyer. Just as Olivia Hussey will always be remembered as Juliet, so too will Kristen Stewart go down in infamy as Bella Swan (soon to be Bella Cullen!) The movie has an amazing cast, wonderful stunts, and appears to be true to the story. What’s not to love? Of course it will be wonderful! December 12th cannot come soon enough!

  98. Misty Says:

    First off, being a teacher I have seen the way that these books have influenced my students. I can’t wait to see how the movie will continue to do so. I think the movie will be awesome because it not only embodies what matters most- TRUE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE FOR ANOTHER,but it also embodies good morals. Edward is the very essence of what a true gentleman should be. The tagline alone says it all… When you can live forever what do you live for?

    I’m excited to see this movie because it will be my first vampire movie that’s not full of blood, guts and gore. Also, I have read all 3, soon to be 4, books and I have seen the characters develop. I can’t wait to see the interpretation of the words on the big screen.

    I think that it may be the best movie of the entire year. It has got romance, horror and comedy all rolled into one. As I’ve said, I’m a teacher and if there’s a midnight showing the night before… I’m going. Granted it will be hard the next day, but none the less… I’M GOING!

  99. Lindsay Says:

    The Twilight movie will be awesome because, let’s face it, even if it sucks (hah, pun. how lame) it’ll still be adored by thousands of fans for the solitary reason that they like dudes with sparkly peens. :]
    That includes me.

  100. Rebecca Says:

OMG! the romance and the tension from what i saw looks HOT!!!!!!! omg i cant wait! fampire i am and bloody proud of it!
    thanks for the opportunity

  101. Amanda Says:

    I base my expectations of Twilight awesomeness on a simple arithmetic equation: Catherine Hardwick (Thirteen + Lords of Dogtown) + Kristen Stewart [Into The Wild - Jumper cameo + The Messengers (only good thing in the movie)] + Stephenie Meyer = AWESOME MOVIE….Solve for X.

    Thanks for the contest! I’m excellent at math if you need any help with that equation.

  102. Prue Says:

    i think the twilight movie will be awesome beause f how they have stuck it to the book, they casting has been done really well and i think that they hav reall put thought into the film and have pickd great actors and actresses to play the characters. i also love the diretor i’ve seen a couple of her films and i think they are brilliant i epecially love thirteen very well done. i also think that the film will be awesome because of its a one of a kind book you ead lods of vampire an love books but they alwys seem to ave the same fatures in them twilight actally makes you feel the love bella has for edward and edward has for bella, this boo truly gets your heart rate up with the sweet kisses from edward to the fights with james and im sure the film will do excatl the same i cant wait for it

  103. Julia E Says:

    The Twilight movie will be awesome because it brought me back to reading. I am a busy mom who works full time and cares for my kids full time, yet somehow I managed to read the whole series in 3 days! The movie will be great because it is a true love story and is something most people desire.

  104. Chloe Says:

    I’m not going to use any puns to tell you how get the movie will be. The movie, like the book, will be stephenie’s vision. Because she painted the picture so clearly in our minds when we read the book, it will only be clearer when we see it on the big screen. Each of us have our own vision of how the cast of twilight looks, but I think that the actors really get the image that Stephenie Meyer was going for, so in a way the cast has a little bit of our own vision in it.

  105. Rocio del Carmen Talavera Gonzalez Says:

    I REALLY believe the reasons why the movie will rock are the amazing cast, the super vibe they have (you can feeling even on video, man!), the good script (they are making it more realistic, adapting it to this time becasue all you know, nowdays, one day or month makes a huge difference on language, modisms, and technology), the director (we don’t worth you, Catherine! YOU REALLY ROCK! Have you ever seen how much efford is she putting on this? I have never NEVER seen someone with so much anergy traying to make things right! I just love her!), we are loyal crazy maniac fans, we will give anything for this movie, even our blood…

    THAT’S WHY TWILIGHT THE MOVIE WILL BE AWESOME!!!

    CHIO SWAN

  106. Jamie Says:

    I think because the books have become so popular over the years, people are really interested to see the movie and how it relates to the book. The fact that you can feel what Bella, Edward and Jacob feel in the books is amazing and to see that on a movie would just be a dream come true. I think Twilight will be the number 1 movie this winter, because its something different than your average action or love romace movies. Its about vampires, werewolfs AND love in a teenage lifestyle. Thats unique and the fact that your vampires don’t have fangs and no garlic it makes Twilight so much more special. I know this movie is going to blow us away and I can’t wait to watch it and be apart of it!

  107. Vindicator Says:

    The Twilight movie is going to be great! The cast has said it a thousand times that they did their best to try and do the book justice. They didn’t just make a film to make a film, but they put their heart and souls into this film so that it wouldn’t disappoint! The cast is great, the director is great, the editing (so far from the clips) looks great….what more do we need than that?! The Twilight movie it going to rock, and at all the award shows next year, they’re going to have to rename all of them. Like the MTV movie awards…next year we’ll call it the MTwilightV awards! So on and so forth with all the other movie award shows! I’m extremely excited about the movie and am planning on going opening night! I’m am just amazed by the cast! They are doing a fantastic job. Plus they are wicked hot!!!! OUCH I just got burned by all their hottyness!!!

  108. Aimee Says:

    My top five reasons Twilight will succeed as a movie:

    5) Have you seen the cast???? And how teenagers respond to them?

    4) Catherine Hardwicke has mad skills.

    3) Fans of the book are evangelical — we preach the gospel of Twilight to everyone, everywhere, all the time.

    2) Stephenie Meyer’s story is timeless, ageless and scorching hot.

    And my number one reason Twilight will succeed as a movie….

    1) Tens of thousands of at-home moms like me will drag everyone we know to see the movie. Again. And again. And again. The hand that rocks the cradle might rule the world, but we definitely pay for movie night!!!!

    p.s. I’d really like the Twilight cards because my kids are all boys and I’d like something cold as ice with which to fight off their Pokemon!

  109. Amy Says:

    OK, let me break this down for ya.

    Does Harry Potter have vampires that sparkle in the sun? No.

    Yes, Pineapple Express has pot. But does it have brands of heroin? Didn’t think so.<
