Twilight: What Did You Expect? Coffins, Dungeons & Moats?
Well according to Bella (played by Kristen Stewart), moats were not expected.
I just finished watching the bonus footage of "Twilight" on the "Penelope" DVD, due out on July 15th, 2008, and I already want more. The sneak peak contains some silly off-camera fun with the actors, director and of course Stephenie Meyer, the writer.
It also contains a scene from the movie where Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) invites Bella to his home for the first time after she discovers he is a vampire. She is amazed by the immaculate and beautiful home, and he responds with, "What did you expect? Coffins and dungeons and moats?" Which she quickly banters with "No, not moats"
He then leads her to the staircase where she finds a piece of art on the wall made entirely of graduation caps. As she speculates to the strange reasoning behind this display, Edward simply responds that it's an inside family joke, since they "matriculate a lot."
We assume he would have numerous graduations, since Edward has not aged since 1918 and remains trapped in the body of a 17 year old boy who has been searching for his soulmate for 90 years.
And then their was Bella. The young, beautiful girl who finds herself drawn in to the exquisitely handsome, yet seemingly dangerous, Edward Cullen, who can stop moving cars with his hand and run faster than a mountain lion. Yes, he was different, yet Bella has never been one to stick with the trendy groups, she is unique in her own way, which draws her more to this amazing creature.
The bonus footage ends with Edward twirling Bella around, to which she responds, "I don't dance." Edward in typical bad boy style states, "I could make you." But Bella knows deep in her soul she is not scared of him, and as she exclaims, "I am not scared of you", he proceeds to grasp her tightly as they fly through the open window. A brief cling to a tree gives him a moment to say, "Hold on tight"
What is the phenomenon that is "Twilight"? Vampire movies and TV Shows have often popped up and most times disappeared as fast as they arrived. Now, there are the fan favorites such as Buffy and Angel, but "Twilight" is a different type of vampire movie with a fan following that has kept the "twilight" book series on the New York Times Bestseller List for more than 30 weeks.
"Twilight" has started a fan frenzy with young girls everywhere hoping to trade lives with Bella and be Mr. Edward Cullen. Over 100 fan pages have popped up online and there is even a group of "Twilight Moms."
"Twilight" is uniquely different. It is a suspenseful thriller with superhero vampires, almost comic book style. It is the forbidden tale of vampire and mortal love. The struggle of good and bad.
The Cullen family of vampires is different, they want to live a normal life, well, as normal as you can be and still remain a vampire. They contain their thirst for blood by feasting on grizzly bears, deer and other creatures in the woods.
Here's the official teaser from Summit Entertainment and the link to more videos.
Oh I remember that house part. I can't wait for New Moon. I heart Edward so much.
