How quickly time flies! Just a year ago, the Twilight train was on its way to ComicCon, and just reaching the ears of the mainstream. Now, you'd have to live under a rock to not know who Bella Swan or Edward Cullen are ... and we've got the trailer for the rushed-into-production sequel, New Moon. This premiered during the MTV Movie Awards and is officially hosted over at My Space Trailer Park. But seeing as that one isn't working too well thanks to the insane amount of traffic it's getting, we're bringing you the embed courtesy of Trailer Addict. But if you want to watch it bigger and in higher definition, pop on over to MySpace, then come back and talk to us.
Twilighters who know New Moon inside and out don't need me to break this down. For those unfamiliar with the phenomenon, the sequel follows the ongoing and troubled love affair between the vampire Edward, and the human Bella. Things start to go a little sour this time around (like sharks, vampires get a little crazy when they smell blood) and Edward leaves Bella in order to protect her. This leaves her rather vulnerable to enemy vampires but luckily, she's got a pack of werewolves at her back. Rather fittingly, the last shot of the trailer is the newly beefy Taylor Lautner, who nearly lost his part due to lacking muscles. Looks like he rectified that.
Let us know what you think, Twilighters. We're dying to know your thoughts.

'Twilight' Sequel(s) Moving Forward!

What, did you really think they'd only make one? According to the Hollywood Reporter, Summit Entertainment has decided to hang on to the property that has made them, and, heck, why not make it a franchise? Though the first film hasn't arrived in theaters yet, initial buzz from critics isn't horrible (our own James Rocchi told me it was "pretty good"), and so Summit has gone and acquired rights to the next three novels and brought Twilight screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg in to write the screenplays based on New Moon and Eclipse. Breaking Dawn, however, does not have a screenwriter just yet. Though nothing was announced, I'd expect them to shoot two of these suckers back-to-back, but I suppose we'll see which route they take.
As you're probably already aware, Twilight mania has taken the world a bit by storm. The source material has amassed a whole ton of fan sites, the soundtrack has hit number one on the charts and the flick is certainly poised to open big. How big, we do not know, though we'll certainly be asking for your opinion at the beginning of next week -- as well as shoveling out some pretty awesome Twilight interviews; one of which might just be with a girl named Bella -- so stay tuned.
Twilight hits theaters November 21.

Here's a question: Should any studio greenlight a sequel based on advanced buzz and before the original even hits theaters? Sure, if you're a fan of the Twilight novels, I suspect you'd want the studio to greenlight, like, a billion Twilight sequels, like, right this second -- but wouldn't it be a risky move? Nikki Finke over at Deadline Hollywood claims Summit's already prepping the sequel (New Moon), though that's about as far as she goes with it. Finke, however, does state the obvious: that even though the first Twilight film isn't due out until November 21, the latest trailer was viewed over 3.5 million times in 48 hours, the Twilight soundtrack has already hit the Top 5 Best-Selling Albums on Amazon (despite the fact that it doesn't come out until November 4th) and the merchandise for this sucker rivals that of the boy wizard, Harry Potter.
Okay, so obviously there's an audience for not one film, but two -- yet what if that audience doesn't like the first installment? Is that even possible? Is this the sort of film fans will love no matter what the final product looks like? And do you really take a chance greenlighting a sequel with a film whose audience is not comprised of the oh-so-lucrative teen male population. Are teen and pre-teen girls (and their moms) enough to carry this entire franchise?
And for you Twilight fans out there: While early, is there anything different you'd like to see from the sequel?
