The sexy vampire movie Twilight is set to take over, well, just about everything. Summit plans to promote the film pretty heavily at Comic Con, and now the movie will take over Entertainment Weekly’s cover.
That’s the cover there to your right. You’ll see it on the July 18th issue of the nations number one entertainment mag. The only odd thing here is that the movie isn’t even due in theaters until December 12th. The fact that it’s getting on EW’s radar so early is a testament to the amount of hype there is out there for this thing. Right now The Dark Knight seems to be dominating just about everything, but not far behind it in sheer, over the top fan hype is Twilight.
The movie is based on a series of vampire novels written by Stephenie Meyer and originally targeted at teens. It has since been taken up by obsessive adults everywhere, who you’ll find corralled together on the internet, lining up in mildly creepy fangroups like “Twilight Moms”... who will now no doubt come here and prove how not creepy they are by calling me names. Sorry ladies, it just seems a little creepy to me. Maybe it’s simply that I can’t imagine my Mom being interested in anything sexy, and really don’t want to. I’m sure however, that I’m totally wrong and you’re all entirely awesome. Please don’t fang me to death, should we encounter one another at Comic Con.

Hi Josh! I'm a TM (Twilight Mom) and I have to say that was a good article. LOL. None of the Twilight Moms will fang you at Comic Con. We might instead bake you cookies as that's what Moms do. hahaha.
The only thing that pisses me off to NO END is Rob's hair!!! COME ON! are you telling me that the Photo directors could spend hundreds of dollars on photoshopping it, yet couldn't spend 5 bucks on some hair gel for him?? -_-
other than that I like it. Kristen looks effin gorgeous..and c'mon its ROB and his CHEST! thats more than enough for me...
and besides, the pictures inside of the magazine SO make up for it!!!
So yeah..set aside his hair and tone down the paleness and makeup, and it would be amazing (not that it already isn't great)
And Hell yes Twilight is finally getting the publicity it deserves!!!!!
Oh and ps- theres some typos in the article...(just a heads up, because websites tend to be ripped apart by us crazy twilighters) the movie is made my Summit, not Summiet. and it comes out December 12, not the 18th :P
And the Authors name is spelled Stephenie not Stephanie. (and the Twi-vamps dont have fangs!!)
I think that the entertainment weekly cover is disgusting, and oh my gosh Robert looks soo un attractive in that picture, and what is with the like porn pose seriously. i'm vey worried about the movie.
Just for your information... the vampires in Twilight don't have Fangs...just saying... and I love Twilight and I'm SOOOOO excited for Breaking Dawn and Midnight Sun(Twilight from Edward's POV) and for the movie. I just can't believe we have to wait FIVE months for the movie...oh well, hopefully it's worth the wait:)
and Its not creepy that moms (not that I'm a mom) are interested in Twilight. It happens to be a VERY great series of books. plus, who DOESN'T love a fantastic love story filled with intense suspense and action? :)
Well, just because it's creepy to you doesn't make us any less crazy over the books/movie. Hey every great book/movie has to have its cult following. Thanks for the article, even though you sort of called me and fellow Twilight moms creepy. That's o.k. I won't fang you. LOL.
You should know that this TwilightMOM is thoroughly amused that you find my obsession mildly creepy. As for calling you names, well, that just wouldn't be nice. I understand your point of view, however; I don't want to know what MY mom thinks is sexy, either.
By the way, you've misspelled the author's first name: StephEnie.
(I'm a language arts teacher.)
This cover doesn't do justice to the film/actors at all! I despise it! (Though I am happy to see that Twilight made he cover of EW). Oh well, the interior photos make up for it.
And: HAHA! The Twilight Moms freak me out a bit as well.
I think the EW cover is great! Do i think it's a tad misleading? In a way, yes. Edward Cullen was portrayed as some unbuttoned shirt sexbomb which is totally different from the image he is given in the books. And Bella was portrayed as some sexy, suave goddess and her character is really a klutz. However, I do really like the concept. But they did stray a little TOO much from the characters.
Despite all of this, I think Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart look beautiful in the pictures and I know they have put 110% into their characters!
Yes, we are awesome! I find it is actually the younger audience who usually resort to name calling, but I hope I am proved wrong and nobody stoops to that level.
Yeah, no one wants to think of their mom as thinking about sexy things, but come on moms are still human and thus sexual beings. Thankfully, Twilight is deeper than just the romance (which is great by the way) and that keeps us interested, talking and 'creepily' grouping together! Wow, that sounds wrong, but you know what I mean! Thanks for the attention! We love it--there is no such things as bad press...
For the amount of money EW makes, you couldn't by any means do a spell check or background info into the books/movie.
If you did do the proper check you'd know that the vampires in twilight does not have "fangs" and that Edward isn't that damn pale and Bella is a girl next door not Barbie going to prom!!
The cover does NOT give the book or the movie justice!!!
PS
TM isn't the "creppy" ones for crying out loud!
You want to talk about creppy talk about the hardcore role players.
Thanks for writing this article ! I'm so excited for this movie and I just recently got into the series and LOVE IT !
IF YOUR HESITATING ON READING THIS DON'T ! I KNOW OTHERS DON'T LIKE IT BUT TRY IT ! We all don't have the same opinions on anything SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT OTHERS COMMENTS !
I LOVE THIS SERIES AND WILL READ AGAIN AND LOVE HOW OTHERS ARE STARTING TO EMBRACE IT !!!
Man! I wish I could come over to the Comic Con!
I'm DYING to meet the cast of Twilight!
Unfortunately, I live in Singapore... :'(
Would someone be kind enough to send me over to San Diego to meet my favourite actors?? Pretty please..
I really enoyed the article it was very interesting and really well written however i am so dissapointed in the cover its all wrong! Why is Bella in a dress with loads of makeup - thats so not bella and as for Edward well that is not a great picture of him its looks like hes just had an all nighter his lips are an unusual shade of maroon and isnt Edwards chest supposed to be muscled up and smooth??? ive liked most of the other pictures of him and hes actually pretty fit its not his fault - the photographer could have done a much better job as could hair and makeup btw i think his hair is AMAZING in the prom scene i was swooning just looking im glad theyve done a great job of making him look wonderful in that scene its just a shame for this cover but oh well :)
I agree with some of the comments posted here about the depiction of the characters on the cover of this magazine. Edward was described, in Bella's point of view of course, as handsome as some greek god. She keeps refering to that throughout the book. He is eternally beautiful. Yes, he is as pasty white as he is on the cover, she kept refering to that too- his skin was hard and white as marble.
But other than that, the pose and his expression is ALL wrong. They didn't catch Edward right (the right angle/pose/etc...) I just wasn't happy with it. I was creeped out... which isn't my inital reaction of the character when I read the book.
As for Bella. What a gorgeous picture of Kristen! She may have looked like this for her prom night, sure. But Bella was the girl next door, average. It may have been better to see the real Bella...
If ET simply wanted to glamourize the characters, they succeded with Bella.... flunked with Edward. How they made him pose or had the lighting positioned or whatever-- it wasn't right when the picture was snapped.
I am sure they took a ka-zillion photos before chosing this one. But they should have had a twilight enthusist with them. It would have at least been more accurate.
Hi Josh, and thanks for the article! I think we are ALL creeped out if we think about our moms and well . . . we are all HERE, after all, aren't we? So, there ya go! But really, don't be creeped out - Twilight is not like that! It's a love story, an adventure and so much more! You must read it for yourself!! Looking forward to your next article, after you have had time to read the book! And, the movie is going to be AWESOME!!! Thanks again for the opportunity to vent!
Yes Josh, I’m a mom of teen daughters…who kept begging me to read this Twilight series…in a weak moment I gave in. WOW, I was totally suck in…now I can’t get enough.
The Twilight Series is a beautiful love story for ages…with deep love and passion! There’s something magical about this series…you fall in love with all the characters.
My daughters and I are constantly talking about the movie and the characters…great bonding opportunities;) Thank you Stephenie Meyer and Summit!!!
There are some typos and btw these vampires don't have fangs. I mean can you imagine going to school and seeing Edward Cullen with those Halloween vampire teeth? I would love Edward Cullen at my school, and yes I'm a twilight teenager and by mother has read the series and she loves it. So it may seem weird for your mom but my mom is fine with it and so am I.
The picture is bugging me; A) Edward lips are not red, but pale, very pale. B) Bella would never stand so, how do I put it Sexy? C) Bella hates dresses and Alice would probably have picked out something different (that is my own opinion) D) Edward would never stand so modally and act sexy-he doesn't think he is sexy, Bella and everyone else does, but not him. E) Bella looks like a Barbie doll and she would never wear make-up, only if Alice tied her to a chair, lol. F) What is up with the apple? I get it in the book, but we ALL know it is Bella and Edward, the apple is a little too over dramatic for my taste.
I have other problems with the picture but am a little disappointed with the fact that ET didn't at least try not make the characters some -what like how they are in the book.
Hopefully the movie will be good, but we all have high hopes and I know nothing will live up to everyone’s intentions but am glad that someone took the challenge. Good luck with the movie and maybe try and proof read the article.
I agree completely with Chloe. I will, however, buy it to read the article. And Robert doesn't look too pale, just pasty. And he has a hairy chest... am i the only one who thinks that something is wrong? He looks drunk and his hair is all wrong. And Bella is too tan. She's not a model and she is DEFINITELY no femme fatale. Shoddy workmanship, photoshoppers. Shame on you.
OMG! I got the mag already. Robert has blue eyes in the pic....that kinda made me mad. Kristen is too tan....but the apple adds a nice touch...Bella is suppost to have an auburn color hair and that looks dark brown to me....but oh well...It looks fabulous!
Josh, the cover seriously sucked! Edward's chest isn't sculpted, he even has droopy man boobs for christs sake, he looks really feminine with the dark lipstick and the chest hair is seriously disgusting. Why is Bella extremely hot when its Edward who's suppose to look like a greek god? You guys really effed it up, and if I saw this photographer i'd throw a rock at him. What a huge mess up. On the other hand, the inside pictures were pretty good, especially the one in black and white. I say a DO OVER!!!!!!
