The Final ‘Twilight’ Poster Is Here…

Final Twilight Poster Header

Summit Entertainment is due to make a killing at the box-office next month (and for the next few months after I’m sure) with the release of Twilight, and today they’ve released the final one-sheet poster via the folks at Cinematical. Take a gander at it in all its Photoshop glory to the right, then join me below for a discussion…

So, first thought? Kristen Stewart looks blissfully unaware of the zombie preparing to enter her from behind. Second thought? With all the money this movie is due to make you’d think Summit could afford to hire a marketing department familiar enough with Photoshop as to avoid turning Robert Pattinson into a pink-eared corpse. Seriously, is Edward supposed to be that deathly pale? And why is blood only flowing to his ears? And could Bella look any less interested in the vampire at her back door? Other than these few nitpicks, the poster looks awesome!

I’d normally use this space to tell you more about Twilight, but if you’re not already familiar with the film or the book series it’s based on then you’ve done an admirable job of avoiding movie news for the past several months. You’re probably not the targeted demographic of girls and their mothers either. (Yes, I know some boys have supposedly read it too, but c’mon, they’re the exceptions that prove the rule.) And speaking of vampires, have you seen Let the Right One In? Now that’s a vampire movie done right.

What do you think of the final Twilight Poster?

    Ehhh...I've seen better ones.
  • Hunter, I don't know how you find time to find Twilight news while constantly reading, re-reading and writing fan-fic about the series, but it's admirable that you're keeping other informed.

    And, yeah, my first thought involves photoshop, too. What happened to getting actors in the same room for a poster shoot? I bet within the next 2 years, a movie will finally do that again, and the world will be amazed at how realistic-looking the one sheet is.
  • Cole, don't forget that I also cosplay as Jasper Hale on the weekends. Which reminds me, when will you be returning my Confederate soldier uniform?
  • Yes, Edward is that pale in the book. And very cold to the touch.

    And he sparkles.

    No, I'm not kidding.

    If you want hilarity, read some of the things that the actor playing Edward has said about the character and the book series. He is my hero.

    It's an improvement to the last poster, but it still doesn't grab me. The over photoshopping is annoying, but at least the actors actually look like themselves in this one.

    @Cole - what's funny is they did have a photoshoot together and then the photoshopping commenced.
  • Meepo
    Meli's right, they had the photoshoot together.

    Obviously Summit couldn't afford someone with better photoshopping skills on this thing, they managed to make both Robert and Kirsten look like retards.

    This is by far the ugliest movie poster I have ever seen.

    And yes, Edward is supposed to be that pale. They forgot the sparkles though.

    Well, they hired an 18-year-old photographer, so...Hire someone more experienced for "New Moon," please!

    I actually really liked the first poster. It conveyed the romance of Bella and Edwards relationship. Then they went off on that "dark vampire" tangent with the international posters of the individual characters. Why they are trying to market this as a horror movie I have no idea, because its not. And it makes no illusions to being a horror story. Its a love story that happens to have vampires in it. Edward just looks wrong in this poster. I don't know if its the angle they have him at the extra tinting they gave his skin but it looks fake. You can tell the media dept for Summit don't really understand the story they are dealing with or they would do better with this poster.
  • I think that Kristen and Robert are absolutley cute togeather, I wish that i was Kristen. Robert is so cute i love his Brittish accent. I just don't see how he did the american accent so well in the Twilight movie. My friends are always getting mad at me because i am always talking about the movie or i am reading the books for the hundreth time. i think that it is awsome that stephanie meyer can create such a strong series of books that you start wishing that you were the character. I will never be able to find a book that is as good as these are. I hope that someone can come out with something as good as this because if they don't then i am going to fail high school because there is no way that i can read the boring school books again. I WISH I WAS KRISTEN SHE IS SO LUCKY!!!!!!
