Oprah had us waiting for hours on end, to be able to see the newest movie trailer of “Eclipse”, out on the movie theaters on June 30. There were a lot of “Twilight” fans that were really unsure of this movie, because of all the book series, “Eclipse” is a very intense, action-filled story. I read all the books, I have diverse opinions on them, and I really wish it ended with a trilogy. Below is an embedded YouTube release of the latest trailer; enjoy! PS: I don’t own nor have any rights over this movie, I am sharing with the blogging world that is not directed towards “Twilight” series. Therefore, no responsibilities here.
Stephenie Meyer herself should redo almost the whole thing. In a nutshell, she wrote on the first books all the ground rules that establish how the story should unfold. To my disappointment, with “Breaking Dawn” she broke all the rules. It is very difficult to work with a publisher that wants you to go strictly to a “Young Adult” category, which makes it even harder to write several scenes that require more details, especially when it comes to intimacy. This leaves all of us adults to use tons of imagination, especially in areas where I feel blindfolded and cannot see or picture in my mind the scene in front of me. Let me explain without spoiling anything:
When I grab a book (especially one that will make it to the movies, or I saw the movie, then got the book), it’s like hitting “Play”, and while I read, I can picture if not everything, almost everything. I bet most people read like this, as if they were watching a movie. If it’s a hard-to-put-down book, like the “Twilight” series, I can finish a book in no more than three days. Born a bookworm? Still a bookworm! Of course, when I have to put the book down I hit “Pause”, and that continues until the end. If the storyline starts to become ambiguous, takes you in a direction where the character herself cannot give you any details of what’s going on around her, what are you supposed to do, especially at the cusp of the whole thing? The less description of any surrounding, or a dress, adding a continued and enhanced effort to display the character as annoying as possible is really frustrating. Jasper would work overtime to control Bella’s weird mood swings. Especially when vampires don’t sleep at all, according to Meyer.
I advice any of you that have seen any movie and you feel that there are some flops here and there, please pick up the novel; it’s worth it. It’s extremely hard to find a movie director that will do the this book justice. Therefore, my queasiness for a possible “Breaking Dawn” movie, either in one or two segments.
The only exit I see for a good “Breaking Dawn” movie would be if Peter Jackson, director of the “Lord Of The Rings” series, grabs it. It has to be a very bold, famous movie director that can pull this off. This is just my opinion, of course based on the control and vision of how things should play out, despite the content of the book itself. If you still don’t trust my asessment, click on my link to the left, and read the book reviews. If you don’t follow the series, you won’t understand this thread; if you do, you will be extremely biased and this varies by age.
There are many websites out there, but one that I like a lot is Twilight Lexicon (off of WordPress) that is quite detailed, keeps fans informed and has many clips and videos. There’s where I got this little piece of jewel:
