  • Bigelow for Breaking Dawn

    Let just say I have the feeling this movie is going to hit out of the ball park.

    I love the music and the whole visual of the trailer was beautiful.
    David Slade and his scenery ;)

  • alp ♥ robsten ♥er

    I thought it was perfect too. I didn't even mind not seeing the rest of the Cullens because Eclipse is all about the ♥ triangle and looks like we're getting plenty of E/B/J. ♥

    I agree completely! The perfect balance.

    The music for New Moon was God awful! The score that is, not the soundtrack.

    Twilight had such fantastic, memorable music….now Eclipse sounds right on par with it. It's perfect.

    YAY! I'm so excited!!!

  • Bigelow for Breaking Dawn

    Yeah I'm glad they kept it simple and did give EVERYTHING like in New Moon. Folks lets leave something for I-MAX! I-MAX people. You can be patient.

  • mschicklet

    Love love love ALL of iiiiitttt :)

    I loved the music for NM too. Twilight—notsomuch.

  • vampwannabe

    it was like ALL of the BEST fanmade trailers rolled into ONE! seriously! everything i always loved about the fanmade trailers…the bg music, the fade to black, the text, the EMOTIONAL scenes…perfect!!!!!!!!!

    I love the music 4 the last New Moon's Trailer. “Moving mountains” from Two steps from hell, but this is very good too.

  • ~NestingUpInRobsBotheredTree~

    I actually have 3 Two Steps From Hell cd's…. does that make me weird? A actually recognized a few of them from New Moon. :D But OME…Hurry up June 30th!!!

  • Krista

    I really liked the trailer, everyone was going off about Bella's wig. I don't mind it, I think it looks fine, They really like Two Steps from Hell, they used that in the New Moon trailer too, I like it.

  • vampwannabe

    IMAX with sexy protective EDWARD in black V, yummy hair, husky voice….
    o
    M
    GGGGGGG!

  • Taylor_is_a_sexy_BEAST

    top ten yay!

  • vampwannabe

    i can't stop hitting replay…OMG! my OCD is out of control!!!!!

  • Whitneee (aka Charlie's Angel)

    LOVED the music. LOVED the cinematography. The grayish film is perfect…not too cold, not too warm, just somewhere in the middle. Feels VERY pacific northwest to me. I have a lot of faith in Slade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • hollydolly31

    EEEEEEE its perfect!! The New Moon music was a let down, the score etc wasnt memorable at all, Twilights was amazing!! …Lykke Li was good on the NM OST and Thom Yorke but Eclipse looks like being more like Twilight!! :D <3

    The scenery is beautiful and the love triangle AHHHHHHHH <3 that shot of Edward on the mountain top before Victora comes is EXACTLY how it looked in my head :O

    GWARRRN DAVID SLADE :D Eclipse=success me thinks :)

  • Sparkles

    I am even moe excited for this movie (if thats even possible) after seeing the trailer. Kristens wig doesnt look that bad, asctually it looks pretty good. The Victoria wig on the other hand is a different story. David Slade seems to have nailed it. Two Steps From Hell=AMAZING!!

  • TheLionFellIn<3W/Ceci-ROBECI

    HIT that damn replay button… HITTTTT ITTTTTTTTT!!!!

  • Whitneee (aka Charlie's Angel)

    NO that doesn't make you weird! :-)

    I've been looking for them on itunes and amazon, but have had no luck…where did you buy the cd's?

  • RM♥Eclipse☼Ami♥W4E♣BD♂Captives

    Loved the trailer! ♥
    Love David Slade! ☺
    Can't wait for more… ☼
    And this song is perfect! ♫ It's like an upbeat, tragic, yet suspenseful piece…if that makes any sense?
    You get alot of emotions from the notes that are played…which is what Eclipse is about…HUMOR, TRAGEDY, LOVE, TRIANGLES, BATTLES, THE VOLTURI, you name it!

  • BMFIlovemuse

    love it…. is it possible that this movie will have it all…. the great music, the great color of the movie, the big and great lovestory…. I sure hope so

  • Marti (Team The Runaways)

    Yes, I love TSFH.

  • Becki_Cullen

    I was just gunna set out to find the music from the trailer – now I don't have to. Thank you!

    Two Steps From Hell are legendary. They were used in the Twilight trailer, the New Moon trailer and now the Eclipse trailer (I see a trend…)
    I love TSFH, their music is just great and this song fit so well in the trailer. It was like the first thing I noticed, it really set the mood.
    David Slade: you awesome, awesome man. :D

  • Robsten24mania

    love the music! If only New Moon had music like this it would have made the movie soooo much better! I loved Carter Burwell music in Twilight DS should use some of his music for Eclipse! Carter Burwell music is the reason i fell in love with twilight,the sweet sound of his music is mesmerizing!

  • Becki_Cullen

    I agree about the scenery, it looks really beautiful (and that ain't a word I use often…)

    Another thing that – to me – looks more like I thought from the books, was the Volturi. It's the robes more, how they're like sleek and black. In New Moon, I just wasn't feeling it. Jane looks amazing; her eyes are a bit… too red? But still looks gooodd!

  • Whitneee (aka CB's Angel) 3/09

    I completely agree with you…there was something about Carter's music that I hadn't heard before in other movie scores…Alexander Desplat is great and all…it just sounded different. Twilight music felt very twilight-ish and unique…if that makes sense.

  • Becki_Cullen

    I love how when it goes to the cut that has writing, it's not just a solid black. It kinda has the clouds behind it. So … gah! The whole thing was perfect.

  • Becki_Cullen

    It totally makes sense!

    And I don't have anything against Alexandre Desplat (Who I recently found out I've been saying his name way wrong xD) but his music's just… not the same. It was great in its own way, but not the feel I got from Carter Burwell's work. Frankly, I thought it has this… sorta magically feel to it. Which just isn't what I thought for New Moon.

  • my alter eggo ♥ ♫ ♫

    I really like this :) It sets the mood.

  • vampwannabe

    i know! friggen brilliant! always with the eclipse theme running through it….*sigh* im supposed to be offline now, but i can't pull myself away from the trailer…. im losin it…i seriously gotta go
    *hi5s* to the most perfect day!

  • SnowyHedwig since 05/09

    *sneaks in*
    Loved the music! *sneaks back out*

  • vampwannabe

    lol!!!!!!! omg…you are not helping…hahahaha

  • Bigelow for Breaking Dawn

    I'm glad they put the Volturi back in their dark robes! they finally did their homework and got it right!

  • TSC <3 Flying Ninja Rob (8/09)

    personally, I loved the music from both Twilight and New Moon, soundtrack and score. :-D

    BUT, just because this music was part of the trailer, doesn't meant it will be in the final movie.. we'll just have to wait and see..

    And yes, I also loved it! :-)

  • Robertsgirl

    The music was perfect for the trailer.

  • dying.to.b.a.cullen

    agree…carter Burwell music was enchanting, it fir Twilight soweel and NM music really sucked.I love this music, kinda haunting..

  • Becki_Cullen

    Haha, me too. I just keep watching it again and again.

    *highfive* Perfect day, indeed.

  • csellars

    totally with you on Jane's eyes. It took me a sec but i think what bothered me is that they are way too red to be over looked the second she passed a person in the street they would know something was up, and i feel like if they (the Volturi) were going to kill Edward for barely sparkeling in public then they should be a little more conserned about the fact that Jane still has new born eyes.

    wow that accidentally turned into a rant…must hit replay to get back into a love place….ahhh there we go. mmmmm edward.

    also is it just me are does jake look a little tired…or heartsick…it really works. Like when belle is depressed in NM when charlie confronts her at the truck, she's a little swollen and pale, and that is what you really look like with a broken heart I hate it when they still look fab but with a little bit of running mascara.

  • Whitneee (aka CB's Angel) 3/09

    Exactly! I've spent a lot of time in the pacific northwest and I think that Carter's score captures the feel of that place PERFECTLY imo. Hopefully the eclipse score will “re-capture” that feeling?! LOL

  • Just_Me88

    I love the music they used for the trailer..

  • TheLionFellIn<3W/Ceci-ROBECI

    *shrugs*
    Glad to NOT help… bwahaha…
    =0)

  • Whitneee (aka CB's Angel) 3/09

    AGREED! Ahhh…if only MR & company would put as much effort into nailing the details as WE all do…

  • hollydolly31

    YES the eyesssss!! Edwards dont look as garish in this one but i think thats the sort of tint on the lense, not as bright as NM, but i dont think anything can tone down that red, its wayyy over distracting!!
    But yesssss, the Volturi look more like how i saw them, i liked them in NM and i know theyre meant to be really old, but they looked a bit TOO old fashioned, straight out of a period drama style…thumbs up for Eclipse :D

  • lady danag

    cool!

    but i'm more excited to hear some original scores from howard shore.

  • hurryupandwait

    Perfect accompaniment. Serious, dramatic, ominous, yet not overpowering. And the choir!

  • EmmaApplePie

    I love this. Two Steps From Hell always does a perfect job. (:
    I'm really curious for Eclipse's score, Alexandre Desplat did so well in New Moon!

    Ok since this is my first post on here, I'm Emma and I come from the Netherlands. I'm following nmm.org & em.org for about a year now without taking the time to make an account, a quiet reader thus *blushes*
    Hmm I'll go hunting now for a nice avi (:

  • Twlightlover21

    I love this soundtrack! They should put more rock band in to this movie. This movie is dark and need some heavy guitar sounds. And for romantic moment more piano would be perfect.
    Eclipse is my favorite book! If they will screw up i will be very disappointed!!!
    Trailer looks boring until now. I am hoping the movie will be better!
    Go team Edward!
