Behold, Two New Twilight Movie Stills
Posted by Michelle Graham (michelle@filmschoolrejects.com) on June 6, 2008
For those who have been living under a rock for the last couple of months, Twilight is coming, so get ready. The teen angst supernatural drama features vampires, werewolves (well, not yet) and a young girl called Bella Swan (played by Kristen Stewart) who falls head over heels with one of the dazzling undead is an adaptation of one of the most popular young adult books since “Harry Potter”, by an author with an astonishingly similar story to J.K. Rowling.
The movie has already attracted a firestorm of attention, and the fires can only continue to rise, especially with sites like MTV fanning the flames through its “Twilight Tuesdays” campaign, not to mention the army of fan sites dedicated to the books. Last week, temperatures reached a new high as MTV aired the first fully completed scene from the movie (a clip from the Ballet Studio section, for those who have read it) at their movie awards, and right now, I’m not sure what I think. I’ve only read the book once so far (yes, I intend to read and re-read it, I fell hook, line and sinker for Stephenie Meyer’s story) so I’m not perfect on the details, but I do have an idea of what’s supposed to happen, and I’m not sure how in sync it is.
Of course, this makes no difference to everyone who DOESN’T expect adaptations to be spot on (Harry adaptations are the hardest to watch, the butchering, oh the butchering!) but just wants a good movie, and so far, I’m on the fence. Only a minute of uninterrupted footage has actually been released, and the trailer barely shows anything good, so right now, I’m waiting it out. In the mean time we have two new stills straight from DVD forum (which is complete German to me), one of which is pulled from the Ballet studio scene (above), and the other is a mystery (below).
From the same sequence as the first still, it seems to be further on in the fight between James (evil blond vampire with camera, played by Cam Gigandet) and Edward (hunky dreamboat “vegetarian” vampire, played by Harry Potter’s Cedric Diggory, Robert Pattinson), where the action has heated up a bit. Expect to see more and more of these as the months roll by, because with the movie not out until the 12th of December, Twilighters need something to keep them going!
Oh, and to answer whether Bella’s worth the smashing or not, don’t worry, we all know she is!

Hi Michelle, Thanks for keeping the buzz about Twilight going on FSR.com! It means alot to us at TwilightMoms.com to see all the articles and updates from various news outlets. These pics have been around for a while now, but they are pretty great! Both of them are from the ballet studio fight scene at the end of Twilight. The first one shows James getting the upper hand in the fight and the second shows Edward smashing James into one of the many mirrors in the ballet studio (Go Edward!!) Because Twilight is written from Bella’s POV and at this point in the scene Bella is passed out from injuries given to her by James, the fight scene is all new to fans of the story. I assume that it could be taken from Midnight Sun - Twilight from Edwards POV which is Stephenie Meyers next project after the release of Breaking Dawn. There was an interview with Robert Pattinson where he said that Stephenie Meyer had given him the unfinished manuscript for Midnight Sun to help him ‘get’ Edward. I am hoping that some of the ballet studio fight scene was also taken from Midnight Sun - but that is pure speculation/hope on my part. Glad you liked Twilight. Have you started on New Moon, yet? Eclipse? Breaking Dawn comes out August 2nd!

Hi Michelle! Thanks for keeping FSR readers in the loop. I too am hoping that the fight
scene is a bit inspired by Midnight Sun because in Twilight (as you know) Bella is actually
pretty much passed out for the action bits. Do tell, where are you in the series? Welcome
to being a Twilighter, love!

I’ve currently got Eclipse left to read. After reading til I gave myself eyestrain with the other two, I am almost nervous to pick it up, what with it being longer than the prior entries! I can’t wait to start it, but I don’t want to stop mid-way through. Why can’t I just download it straight into my brain?!

I just finished reading the fourth book, Breaking Dawn, all four were great books, but watching the trailors from twighlight coming out soon, i don’t think its going to be as good as the books i feel like some things have been changed. I’m going to still watch regardless but I just hope its as good
