UPDATE: These fresh stats are astounding. Summit Entertainment has a count of 4.2 million views for the New Moon trailer from MySpace, and another 1.6 million from MTV.com, so that’s 5.8 million conbined views in the first 24 hours from its two domestic online launch partners. By comparison, the 3rd (and last) trailer for Twilight received 3.2 million views in its first 48 hours on MySpace, piddling compared to viewership for the sequel’s trailer. This is what’s causing the traffic jam:
Editor-in-Chief Nikki Finke - tip her here.
Loading ...
that’s because those crazed Twilight fangirls have watched the trailer at least 30+ times…
Is it Nov 20th yet? Midnight show + million times thereafter. And no. I’m not a teen. I love Rob! He’s in NYC now in preparation to shoot Remember Me this summer, then Eclipse, followed by Unbound Captives then Bel Ami. News today reports he may play a hip, counterculture NYC gangster. Rob’s choices are amazing. I can’t wait to see all of these movies beginning with Remember Me on Feb 12th, Valentine’s Day weekend. Woohoo!!!
Hopefully after the dust settle from all of this, Lautner will emerge as the real star. He seems like a decent kid, and just look at the body transformation he underwent for this sequel in not too much time. Credit his rep for fighting to keep him in the sequel when studio brass wanted him replaced.
Kinda lame.
I wish them all the best. It’s a fun series, well-made, and I’m all about anything that will get people to read books.
i read the books just because i kept hearing women older than me raving about it (i’m in my mid-20s) and i wasn’t very impressed. actually, i was pretty pissed at myself for wasting my time on a woman who writes at a non-honors high school level. plus the movie version of twilight was horrendous (i watched the cam version online but the lack of talent in the editing and acting departments were unmistakable). can’t believe i’m saying this but i might have to go see this installment in the theater.
“Lautner as the real star.”
Really?? He’s a cute kid and obviously he has a great work ethic. He also LOVES the spotlight. But I’m sorry, I don’t think Taylor has a chance in hell of ever emerging as a huge star in the same way that is happening with Pattinson right now. I think that’s unlikely to happen with ANYONE anytime soon, honestly. People are drawn to Rob for many reasons, top of which I think is the fact that he’s not your run-of-the-mill, plastiscized, media-trained, Disney-fied robot. Just look at the interesting roles he’s choosing. Watch a few of his interviews. This man is different and refreshing and he’s got a good career ahead of him if he can follow through on this promise he has around him right now. There are a lot of people in Hollywood who believe he can. He also has a huge cross-over demographic of grown women (and even men) who are now following his career. I’m not saying Lautner couldn’t become a star…he vey well could. But as long as he’s in these Twilight movies, any star Lautner has will most likely be eclipsed by Rob’s. Uh, no punn intended! Bottom line, you’ve got a cute kid vs. charismatic man issue and I say the charismatic man wins everytime. Pattinson’s the “real” star and he’s already emerged.
Re: Kimberly
I definitely don’t disagree with you. I have nothing against Rob… from the trailer i’ve seen of the Dali flick he did he actually has some chops. I would just really like to see Lautner get more interesting work after this. Rob’s been able to make interesting choices because he’s been offered them. Lautner hasn’t had his chance to shine yet. This film will showcase a LOT more of Lautner so we’ll be able to see what he’s got. If he’s as good as I think he can be, I sincerely hope he gets some interesting offers as well.
I think Taylor seems like a sweet kid and Summit is clearly trying to make him equally as big as Rob with this, but that seems unlikely at this point. Plus Summit seems to be meddling in his personal life and causing distress, have you read Laineygossip’s report on Taylor’s relationship woes? Rob doesn’t even have a personality and for some reason people are obsessed with him, I have no idea what he has but it’s something…
worst looking CGI wolf i’ve ever seen.
wow…. this one doesn’t seem as crappy as the first one
Wow, I am amazed that you think Rob has no personality. Every interview he has done has been chock full of personality. Every interview has at least one hilarious soundbite of some sort. He has more personality in his little finger than most of today’s stars have. The man can act, play guitar and piano, write songs and sing them. Most importantly, he is smart and funny. The sex appeal is just the icing on the cake.
im going to be honest. im proud to not be part of that statistic.
…vampires DON’T sparkle.
Why does mediocrity always win out? I’m sorry, but those kids, Can Not Act. I agree with anonymous, the story is lame, and I agree they have no personality except angst.

I get it.
Eh. The werewolf looked terrible.
House of Night is much cooler.
I’ve watched it myself more than 20 times since it aired, analyzing every detail! WOO-HOO!
Poor Robert Pattison still needs some fiber in his diet.

Even their angst is lame.
I LOVE THE NEW TRAILER ! I love how there are so many people who hate on Twilight and talk negative about it all the time. I’m not a Twilight fan but the CGI on teh wolf looks cool to me.
JUST LET THE TWILIGHT FANS ENJOY what they love. I’ll be going to see the movie.
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HATE BUT IT sure has a huge fanbase that doesn’t give a shit about we or you think.
There still going to make money and well instead of people hating how about concentrating on things we love.
This got 5.8 million views? What a fucking waste of time. An awful trailer for what is sure to be an awful movie.
Watch “Let the Right One In” instead. It’s an infinitely superior movie.
omg omg omg omg omg omg..
i so want this on my ipod!!!!! hahah
<3 im in love.. i want this movie so bad its not funny at all…. its the only thing i can think about,, i have read all the books and am craving for more!!!!
Lautner’s a ghastly cocky kid. He grates on most people as soon as he opens his mouth. Humble he aint.
Pattinson is the real draw on this franchise and always will be.
Pattinson has some interesting work lined up. The original script for Remember Me was good but I hear its even better now. Bel Ami also looks excellent (very good feedback on the script) and Pattinson is lucky as hell to be working with Declan Donnellan. A very talented director to coach an excellent performance out of Pattinson. The role of Georges Duroy in Bel Ami is a really meaty one for him. The role of the white indian in Unbound Captives will certainly be testing. While the script needs some editing Pattinson’s role is very well written – a scene stealing one infact if he can pull it off. He certainly knows how to pick a good project (beyond Twilight).
Only a seriously deluded person (or his parents/management)would think Lautner will be the real star from this franchise.
