First Twilight Movie Poster Unveiled

Twilight Smacked Me Upside the Head

It has been quite the couple of days for the Twilight world. Twilight’s first teaser appeared yesterday, complete with brooding soulful looks, tense exchanges and even a bit of action, and now the flames are being fanned even higher with the first poster appearing over on MTV’s Movie Blog. Designed by the 18-year-old Joey Laurence (18 years old and already doing that? Holy crap do I feel both old and inadequate) it really is a pretty picture, with the askew framing setting up what can only be described as quite a weird relationship nicely. Is Edward hovering over her like a guardian angel, or is he a predator about to strike, with Bella as his prey? Yes, this poster will look great when printed up and plastered on the ceiling of every teenaged Twilighter’s bedroom, or adorning the screensaver of the older generation of fan’s work/home PC:

With the release of the poster comes another scrap of news. (They’re really spoiling you this week, Twilighters, how will you go back to regular weeks with only scraps of news to keep you going?) Not only will Laurence be doing the rest of the posters for Twilight, but he has been signed to do posters for all the sequels too. So hopefully his edge and mark will be as good on those as they are here.

    Ummm. Confused here. Joey Laurence designed the poster? 18 years old? If its the the same Joey Laurence I'm thinking of, he should like, 30 by now. Maybe it was his youngest brother? Love the poster tho!

    I think it's great. It is definately in the theme of the book. I also love the camera angle I
    could stare at it forever. I love how it's brought in really tight, almost too tight so that
    your like, "Whoa" You can reall see the intense feelings between them. I cant wait to see
    what the do with Jacob!
