Twilight Examiner: Eclipse Trailer Quotes Vs the Book’s

Eclipse 125 280x119 Twilight Examiner: Eclipse Trailer Quotes Vs the Books eclipse trailer eclipse Amanda Bell (Twilight Examiner) took the time to compare the quotes from the Eclipse trailer vs the book. Here they are for your reference -

Trailer: “Isabella Swan, I promise to love you every moment of forever,” Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen.
Book: “Isabella Swan? I promise to love you forever — every single day of forever. Will you marry me?” Edward Cullen, page 460.

Trailer: “She’s still human,” and “the Volturi don’t give second chances,” Dakota Fanning as Jane.
Book: “We don’t make exceptions,” she said. “And we don’t give second chances. It’s bad for our reputation. Which reminds me [. . .] Caius will be so interested to hear that you’re still human, Bella,” Jane, page 578.

Trailer: “Why are you so against me becoming like you?” Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan.
Book: “You don’t want me to be a vampire.” “No, I don’t,” he said softly, and then he waited for more. “That’s not a question,” he prompted after a moment. “Well . . . I was worrying about . . . why you feel that way,” Bella and Edward, pages 272-73.

Trailer: “I know the consequences of the decision you’re making. After a few decades, everyone you know will be dead,” Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen.
Book: “You could do so much better, Bella. I know that you believe I have a soul, but I’m not entirely convinced on that point, and to risk yours [. . .] For me to allow this – to let you become what I am just so that I’ll never have to lose you – is the most selfish act I can imagine,” Edward Cullen, page 273.

Trailer: “You wouldn’t have to change for me, Bella. I’m in love with you, and I want you to pick me instead of him,” Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black.
Book: “I’m in love with you, Bella. Bella, I love you. And I want you to pick me instead of him. I know you don’t feel that way, but I need the truth out there so that you know your options. I wouldn’t want a miscommunication to stand in our way,” Jacob Black, page 327. “Just think about how it could be, Bella,” he urged in a soft, eager voice. “You wouldn’t have to change anything for me. You know Charlie would be happy if you picked me. I could protect you just as well as your vampire can – maybe better. And I could make you happy, Bella,” Jacob Black, page 333.

Check out the rest after the break!

Trailer: “You have to consider the idea that I might be better for her than you are,” Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black.
Book: “You love her enough that you have to see the advantages of that plan. She thinks you’re very unselfish . . . are you really? Can you consider the idea that I might be better for her than you are?” Jacob Black, page 502.

Trailer: “I’ll protect you no matter what,” Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen.
Book: “I won’t let anything happen to you,” Edward Cullen, page 366.

Trailer: “You don’t know what you’re getting yourself into,” Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan.
Book: “Jacob, I’m begging you. Stay with me,” Bella Swan, page 523.

Trailer: “I’m going to fight for you until your heart stops beating,” Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black.
Book: “Until your heart stops beating, Bella. I’ll be here — fighting. Don’t forget that you have options,” Jacob Black, page 330.

The only one I couldn’t find a direct counterpart for was “Edward, she found us,” by Kristen Stewart as Bella. For the most part, though, so far so good right?

Thank you Amanda for taking the time to share this with your readers!! It is very helpful

OK, now I'm even MORE scared!! You see, I didnt read the script, nor do I plan to for fear that I might react like you guys. EVERYBODY and their momma's is saying that it was a fecking disaster and that SO much was changed!! I'm scared… I”M SCARED!!

I honestly hope that all goes well and that they stick to my dearly beloved Eclipse (my fave book of the Saga) as close as possible… PLEASE!!

It's THE fans that count, Scummit!! PLEASE!
5ctBauble

LMAO…

hey hey! Dont be greedy… you got a glance at teh 8 pack….

cant have all your wolves and bite them too!!
aliceisthebest

“It gets easier. After a few decades, everyone you know is dead. Problem solved.” Edward page 226
5ctBauble

LMFAO!!!

We wouldnt be us if we didnt disect every shot of the trailer!!

and my my Edward was looking FINE in that trailer
Robaddict Team Leg Hitch

Thank you! I was trying to find that line in the book!!…:DD
TeamTKRJ

I thought CH gave him a list of uberly corny lines to choose from and Rob chose that one?
Ah, well.
soprettyandrelaxing

MR writes the twilight scripts with notes like posties notes from Steph, Scummit and the director/producers. She pretty much alone in it.
musiclikelove

I just feel like sometimes the paraphrasing cheapens the story. As much as I love these movies, I honestly think that they could be written better. And the fact that they aren't, only seems to give people more reason to harass us as fans. It's obviously something I expect, but some of the lines just don't sound as sweet or romantic as they do in the books. Some things should just be left the same. Especially really important lines like the proposal. Most women swoon over the way it's written in the book, but in the trailer, it just sounds…incomplete.
stopdbreathn

mmhmmmm don't think you're the only girl who may have been thinking that….. i wouldn't have stopped him with the RIGHT NOW either … i would have said SHIT YEAH!
TeamDelish-CarolinaCullenCoven

SB!!! I found you!! How are you doing, my sweet? Is it morning there? I'm time-zone challenged. lol
stopdbreathn

TD!, it's me… Hiya hun…. was looking for you this morning, but couldn't find you on the 1200 posts for trailer… Just got home from work, it's 1:30 PM…
So, what do you think? Im loving the trailer…. It was also on the morning show here, so i had txt messages flying around between me and a couple of excited friends at about 6am.. (mad keen freaks like me i think – even though they laugh at me and call me way too obsessed.. HA! Ive got them now…..
I am so exstatic…… It got released here at 1am last night, and so ive been u since about 4am commenting away…. it's been so good…..
RM tonight? I prayed to the twi gods to give us a sight so that everyone that has watched RM can talk about it, and they promised me it would be on tomorrow, so that's good – we'll be able to chat about it (finally, can share it with someone…) Vampwannbee is going tonight too, so it will be good to get both your opinions on it…. ive been like chomping at the bit to talk about it…. (im going again tomorrow night with my neice aswell-phew)….
judycaban

“Edward she found us”……not sure where it is in the book but it when Bella finds out that the person the took the shirt was after her and that it might have been Victoria. She tells Alice and tells her not tell Edward but then she tells him after graduation (in the parking lot)….
I'm thinking that in the movie she will not be telling Alice…..
http://www.bookworld.ambasolutions.org Midnight_Sun_believer

Really? In my opinion, New moon was one of the BEST representations of the book to movie I have seen in my life, if not THE BEST.
I think we have to face the reality that no filmmaker is going to capture the exact essense of Steph's beautiful novels, and the directors of these movies( Catherine Hardwike does NOT APPLY) Are trying to get as close to it as they can….
Rant completed. lol.
judycaban

I agree with you….i found the book so romantic and the movie not much…..to me Edward looks so depressed…..I will of course still buy go see it and buy it but it's just does not give me the same loving feeling that the book gave me.
TeamDelish-CarolinaCullenCoven

Wow!! You got up early–that's some dedication, baby! Yeah, I overslept this morning and had zero time to hop on here before I had to jet out to work at 7 am…and by jet, I mean putter down the road in my soccer-mom mini van. Gah…I NEVER thought I'd drive a mini van, but HEY…those doors that slide instead of open out are LIFESAVERS when you have kids. But, I'm getting off-topic! lmao

I still have one more sleep before I see RM. I have to work tomorrow so I didn't plan to go to the midnight showing tonight. It feels like tomorrow night at 7:10 will NEVER arrive. lol
There's gonna be a site for us to talk about RM???? REALLY? Is it going to be connected to this site or do I need to do a google search for it?? It kills me to not be able to talk about an awesome movie after I've seen it. You're going tomorrow too??? Awesome!…wait a minute..what DAY is it there? Is it Fri already there? Oh geez…I'd better just give up on this time zone thing. I feel like an idiot. *swigs frosty beverage* ok…that's better. hehehe
stopdbreathn

yes yes yes, it's friday here… woopie! i live in your future!… weird….
I too have a mum car – erkk… used to drive a cool car, now have station “carry kids sh*t” wagon car….
RM Site is gunna be on here – stay tuned – should be up tomorrow……
bugger, gotta go – hubbard has me on a mission… back in hour or so – will you still be here? catch you then *hugs*…. yiipppppeeeeee more RM……woohooo!!!!! (damn hubbard getting in between me and my robward swooning… this has got to stop)…… growls…..
More_than_My_Own_Life

You are 100% correct, which is why most of us are team MR (the writer) SUCKS!!!! or team Fire MR, or team F U MR, or . . .well I think you get the point . . .
http://www.fanfiction.com/~youroasis MCNutters [Team Nessie!]

well i think they could've given more time for new moon. others think the editing was choppy and over all it was SO rushed. i didnt feel anything long enough. which is sad and the point of any movie.
http://www.fanfiction.com/~youroasis MCNutters [Team Nessie!]

i dont have a problem with the quotes or lines as long as it was taken from the book and done a bit better and it sounds good im fine. my beef is the acting, the emotion and where they said it. but someone told me its voice overs to random scenes. maybe thats it.

overall though, i wasnt jizzing my pants over this. wasnt much of a tease for me. i did jizz when i saw my BB shirtless though lol that never gets old, and his line: “i'll fight for you till your heart stops beating.” /le sigh/ *melts into a puddle of goo*
HHIMC<DS_gotScrewedByScummit

…and u shouldnt, leahreally…….
cuz the script was horrible :S

The dialogue being compared above just shows that MR is a simpleton when it comes to adapting romantic novels. (SM's lines, albeit corny sometimes, have a magical resonance, and flow so well in those above lines)

And MR just DOESNT CARE enuf. AND she thinks she's doing a good job. Ugh…

(Hope i keep the cringing to a minimum while in the theatre in July )

**Edit: Still keeping positive for the moment. The trailer has done good things for my mood–and bad things for my addiction! ~~~***
HHIMC<DS_gotScrewedByScummit

Thanks for the list.
If i wanna start nitpicking the trailer (which i didnt wanna do yet! I'm still riding the high:P) I will start w/ Bella's line:
“Edward…she found us”
I luv how it's used in the trailer…….but accuracy wise?
BELLA would not be the one to know she was there. That is just SILLY.
ANd that is MR messing w/ character traits again (FU**!) cuz we all know Edward would be the only one able to smell Victoria coming. Bella was oblivious.
Really dont like how MR makes Bella the hero and the know-it-all in EVERY scene in Eclipse script. Cant stand it.

~~~Ok. Rant over. PHew~~~
HHIMC<DS_gotScrewedByScummit

Absolutely agree, twilover21!!!
I'm sure u have read the script….
OH the BILE i was forcing back when reading that thing……
Ohhhhhh it was a horrible day, the day that was leaked :S

~~~Team TwiBookSaga~~~
And Team Edward forever~~!! Of course =)
HHIMC<DS_gotScrewedByScummit

thank u for posting your reply, Riss.
I was about to explain just that.
(I guess we've read the script and have more insight into where certain lines will be )
HHIMC<DS_gotScrewedByScummit

No matter how many critiques i have about the saga,
i enjoyed EVERY second of that trailer!
Still smiling thinking about it
HHIMC<DS_gotScrewedByScummit

I think LOTR would be tops on the book==> movie adaptation list, i believe. I mean, along w/ other movies that i havent seen; i couldnt write a list anyhow, cuz i dont read much (sad, i know).

I thought Bridget Jones' Diary was awesome, as well (Was that random? lol)

—Just the first thing that came to my mind, cuz LOTR is truly incredible
HHIMC<DS_gotScrewedByScummit

I just have to be nitpicky and say:
14 weeks.
109 days.

3 1/2 MONTHS

Until Eclipse glory and IMAX…..and *Thuds* heard around the world.
pixievamp

Didn't Bella say in the trailer: “Edward, has she found us?” In the book there was a moment where they're realizing that someone was near the tent where they were hiding: Something was coming for us. “Who?” I whispered…. “Victoria,” he said.
TeamVampiresWearModestyPatches

Now we're talking! It's the acting, not necessarily the quotes (although MR's lines would be hard to act out, I guess). I hate to admit it, but it's true. I was kind of okay with it in Twilight, as in, I forgave them coz it was low-budget, etc… but I had really hoped they would get it down by Eclipse.

I'm a bit bored by Rob's rendition of Edward… he's always moody and depressed, and honestly, no fun to be with at all. Taylor doesn't really do Jacob justice, either…

Good thing they look good, LMAO.
TeamVampiresWearModestyPatches

LOL, yeah it is. I just wanted to make the point that until we hear the quotes in their full context.. and IN FULL, there's no need to get all depressed over them.

As to the casts' belts: I seriously wish they had some, lol.
Krisfromgreece

well, I live in greece and I don't know when it's gonna come out here…for example twilight came out on 31th december 2008 and new moon came out one day before you, on november 19th. So, I don't know the exact day for Eclipse…Wish it'll be as soon as possible )
bellandedward

C'mon, from the Volturis to the end EVERYTHING is different to the book. And that's the most important part of the movie, it's supposed to be the climax. I saw positive things about it, but that's far from saying that it was a good adaptation. It was maybe a good movie, but definitely not a good adaptation.
bellandedward

“too many key elements”
For those who haven't read the books it's pretty clear that:
-Edward is proposing Bella
-Jacob finally says his feelings out loud
-Victoria keeps on tracking bella (I'm sure that sentence is totally wrong, sorry XD)
-The Volturi come back.
Those seem like key elements to me,…
atwilightmom Team By The Book

**RAISES SIGN** FIRE MR! FIRE MR!!!

I hope this isn't the “dark” people are looking for… Seriously… I really hope the film is shot with more light and these are just screwed up!
http://www.bookworld.ambasolutions.org Midnight_Sun_believer

Wait- were you reading the book the week before the movie?
I did that with the Harry potter books and each time I despised the movie! So now I don't read the book a week before the movie so I can fully enjoy it.
http://www.bookworld.ambasolutions.org Midnight_Sun_believer

I haven't seen LOTR, or Bridget jone's diary, hehe. I don't watch movies much, I suppose. lol.
http://www.bookworld.ambasolutions.org Midnight_Sun_believer

Its your opinion, I'm just stating mine.
RM♥Eclipse☼Ami♥W4E♣BD♂Captives

* high-five! * I just got slammed for thinking this way…
RM♥Eclipse☼Ami♥W4E♣BD♂Captives

Me too! Smile through the whole thing…

I even got a lickin' on here for thinking 'positive'. And that I should NOT be thankful for the fact that Summit is ruininng our precious books with these horrible movies.

I just don't see it that way, not because I don't want too, but in reality I'm just happy to go see these films. I guess makes a less dedicated fan to some…? *frowning*

But I love Twilight…♥
MrsCullen121

eww CH i know right and did u hear she was like all touchy feely with him at the VMAs i think it was =/
MrsCullen121

MrsCullen121

MrsCullen121

soz bb i think u died before i could get to the phone..but on the plus side your probably going to heaven to see the angels who are probably all rob clones, because that man is obviously a fallen angel…u will probably have a heart attack…is it possible to die of happiness when your already dead? lol
MrsCullen121

seriously though i am sharpening a big ass cleaver for her, just in case she messes up BD…hell why am i sharpening it…i want her to suffer slowly, screw it i'll let it go blunt…or i'll cut her with a butter knife …tooo much? o_O
eamcullen1901

I understand where you're coming from and I appreciate your opinion; it's manly in regards to the action elements (newborns battle) and other revelations like the histories of the cullens and wolves etc.

Of course, they have to have some sort of balance, to ensure they don’t reveal too much, but they do have to show something at the end of the day.

As far as I'm aware most of the fans who post on this site have read the material, so it's not really a surprise to them. I understand that some people haven't read the books, but they do have to cater to both audiences.

I've read the whole saga 8 times, nothing in comparison to some people, but the story has inspired me no end, in life and my career aspirations too.

I hope the next trailer is more to your liking, but for me I think they did a pretty good job on its execution.

If you would like to see some of the work I've completed, I will gladly post you the links. You may have already seen some of my work, as I’ve had numerous requests and posted it on this site previously.
The work consists of a variety of video creations, centered on Edward & Bella’s relationship, using clips from Twilight/ New Moon, along with numerous poster graphic designs, created prior to and in celebration of New Moon’s official movie release.

If you do choose to view my work, could I kindly ask that you comment and leave your own feedback, as I would like to see your thoughts on my work. If you don’t have a Youtube account, just post me your thoughts on here.

I greatly appreciate it.

I’ve posted you the links to my work below:
I hope you like them.

I’m currently working on some additional designs, and they will be posted on here as soon as they are ready.

I’m Simon btw, yes I’m a Twi guy. I'm 23 and I live in the UK.

I realise, we're probably a minority in comparison to all the women on here, but I'm proud to be a part of that group.

Anyway, it was really nice to talk to you.

We’re not all going to agree on everything but that’s ok, as long as we can enjoy the journey as a community, that’s all that matters.

Have a nice day.
stopdbreathn

*whispers* I think we should do it now….. before she gets the chance to stuff up BD…….We'll dig her heartless heart out with a spoon!
stopdbreathn

I could do endless cycles of dying if i knew robward angels would be everywhere……i like you way of thinking…. and none of us would have any fear of it anymore….. niiiyyss!!!!!!!!!
Kez_MLIT

Kez_MLIT
