Blackout

Now, I love the Twilight Saga. The books are my favourite, I love the way that Stephanie Meyer has written them, the dreamy, love-ridden prose. However I'm not such a fan of the films, I don't really like the actors, the directors have missed out some of the most important parts of the books and I wasn't all that sold on the special effects. But, even I have to admit that the "Eclipse" trailer looks fantastic!
My favourite part of the trailer is the beginning, the beautiful piano music, the arial shoot of the trees, Edward and Bella together in their meadow - where he promises to love her every moment of forever. It just makes me swoon!
The camera shots for this film look amazing, and the locations are breath taking. The shot of the forest gets me everytime, however this time we get to see Bella out of Forks and in Phoenix with her mother. One of my favourite shots is the the one of her overlooking the sea whilst the sun is setting.
So there have been a few changes, and most of them for the better. They've replaced the old Victoria - according to my sources. But I don't think thats such a bad thing. I have nothing against the old Victoria, it's just this one looks hardly any different, just maybe more flame hairer and more feline. Also the special affects have got better, 100%. This time, when the vampires run, it doesn't look like some comedic genius has pressed fast forward - only to find the button affects only half the screen, namely vampire legs. The vampires are also looking paler and more irrestibably different to the human world - I love the golden tint they have in their eyes.
Of course there's always going to be some dissapointments when you have a huge hype around the books. I'm still unkeen about Kristen Stewart as an actress, she seems to wooden for my liking but she is definitley thawing out and getting better. Jacob is looking as handsome as ever, but maybe a little squidy around the edges compared to his rock hard body in New Moon. Also Jane from the Volturi isn't nearly beautiful enough, but I expect it is quite hard to find someone in reality who makes a Botticelli angel look like a gargoyle.
But these are all minor complaints so far. Right now I can not wait until June the 30th to see the finished product. Needless to say I will probably be dissapointed, being the Twihard book fan that I am. But hopefully it can't get any worse than New Moon.
