Sink Your Teeth Into a New Teaser Trailer for 'Twilight'

Oh man, the kids are going crazy for this one. I predict
that in two months time, Hot Topic simply will not be able to keep logo and
character t-shirts from this movie on the shelves.
Back when I was in high school, the big vampire/outcast
movie was The Lost Boys, and I believe the DVD follow-up is due out in
the next week or two. Yeah, that's good timing. And then there were some high
school kids who had Interview with the Vampire to "relate" to. Fast
forward another few years and it was Underworld, although if you were really thinking those characters shared your problems, you need a drastic change. And now there's
Twilight. It's based on a wildly popular young
adult novel, and since the studio was kind enough to send me a copy, I promise
that I will read it between now and when the film opens, even though I rarely do that sort of thing.
The short story is that a high school loner (Kristen
Stewart) falls madly in love with a boy she doesn't quite understand
(Robert
Pattinson). Turns out he's a vampire. Isn't that always the way it
goes?
Here's the brand new second trailer for Twilight,
which is directed by
Catherine Hardwicke, who does quite well with
teen-themed stories:
