The new trailer for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 has gone online.  Watching the trailer, I’m having a bit of trouble understanding how the plot is significantly different that Eclipse.  The werewolves and the vampires team up to fight bad vampires (in this case, the Volturi).  Additionally, this doesn’t feel like much of an epic conclusion when you see two small groups charging at each other in the snow.  Also, why would Dakota Fanning‘s character charge anyone?  Doesn’t she have psychic pain powers?  I will say that I’m definitely looking forward to watching albino Michael Sheen thrown down simply because I find the concept amusing.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer.  The film stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Peter Facinelli, Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz, Jackson Rathbone, Elizabeth Reaser, Nikki Reed, Billy Burke, Rami Malek, and Maggie Grace.  The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 opens November 16th.

Summit has released the first official look at young Mackenzie Foy as Renesmee in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2.  It’s a lovely (if also exceptionally gray) family portrait of Bella (Kristen Stewart), Edward (Robert Pattinson), and their superbaby.  Unfortunately, Renesmee is hiding behind her mother, so the first official look is not a clear one.  But you’ll get the idea that she is much bigger than you would expect a normal newborn to be.

Taylor Lautner, Peter Facinelli, Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz, Jackson Rathbone, Elizabeth Reaser, Nikki Reed, Billy Burke, Rami Malek, and Maggie Grace also star in Breaking Dawn – Part 2, directed by Bill Condon.  The final chapter of the the Twilight saga opens on November 16.  Hit the jump for the full image.

Last week presented me with the first opportunity I’ve had in a while to catch two movies in a theater within 24 hours of one another (cue the scoffing of real cinephiles). While I’ll sure that I’ll be hammered for that previous statement when it comes time to renew my movie blogger certification, the truth is that, in the small market I call home, only the most mainstream of the mainstream films ever make it to the silver screen. So, with that said, I’d just like to thank the creative forces behind 21 Jump Street and The Hunger Games for giving me the opportunity to spend 1/6 of a day at the movies with films that, while drastically different in almost every conceivable metric, were solid from beginning to end.

Moving on, in this week’s installment the Top 5 is offering modest coverage of Anchorman 2‘s forward progress, Wrath of the Titans interviews with Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson, director Jonathan Liebesman and more, the debut of our new podcast, The Collision, The Dark Knight Rises trailer in Lego form, and a recap of some of the week’s top trailers. Per usual, you can find a brief recap and link to each after the jump.

The teaser trailer for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 has gone online.  There’s really not much here other than Vampire Bella (Kristen Stewart).  I assume there will be explanation for why her eyes are red rather than gold like the Cullens (or is that the whole newborn thing from Eclipse?)  I’m also a tad confused when she says her life had been “ordinary” up until she became a vampire.  Considering her love interests, enemies, and the culture she saw before becoming a vampire, I’m not sure how her life was “ordinary”.  The movies make no sense now.

Hit the jump to check out the teaser trailer.  The film also stars Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Peter Facinelli, Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz, Jackson Rathbone, Elizabeth Reaser, Nikki Reed, Billy Burke, Rami Malek, and Maggie Grace.   The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 opens November 16th.

You brought this on yourself, fandoms.  If you hadn’t stood for needing to see every teeny-tiny second of new footage on movies you were excited for, we wouldn’t be inundated with this awful new trend of doing teasers for trailers.  It’s an ad for an ad.  And we can just keep going down this rabbit hole.  We can do a 10-second teaser for a 20-second teaser, and a 5-second teaser for that 10-second teaser.

So after the jump you can find a 12-second teaser for the teaser trailer for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2.  The full teaser trailer goes online on March 26th.  The movie opens November 16th.

At this weekend’s WonderCon, I was able to sit down with Maggie Grace (Lost) for an extended interview.  The reason she was attending the con was to promote Luc Besson‘s high-octane outer space thriller Lockout that also stars Guy Pearce.   In the film, Pearce plays Snow, a man wrongly accused of conspiracy to commit espionage. His one chance at a pardon comes when he is tasked with rescuing the president’s daughter from a maximum security outer space prison facility when the inmates take control.  Lockout is the feature directorial debut of James Mather and Stephen St. Leger and it opens April 13th.  For more on the film, here’s a five minute clip and our recap of the WonderCon panel.

Since my interview with Grace covered a number of her upcoming projects like Taken 2 and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, I decided to break it up into two parts.  In today’s installment, Grace talks about the success of the first Taken and what the sequel is about.  In addition, with Grace playing Irina Denali in the final Twilight movie, she describes her character, what it was like to work for Bill Condon, what the fans have been like, and a lot more.  Hit the jump to watch and look for more with Grace tomorrow.

While we have a lot of great writers on Collider, I’ve decided to locate a Twilight super fan to review our copy of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 on Blu-ray.  I’m not looking for someone who thinks it’s the greatest movie ever made, and I’m not looking for someone who hates it either. I’m trying to find someone who loves the books and the films and can do an objective review while also writing about all the special features, commentaries, and the extra things on the Blu-ray.  If you think you’ve got what it takes, hit the jump:

As I write today, in the back of mind rests more than a handful of permutations for my Black Friday plan of attack. Do I really need a new 42 inch HDTV? How about various seasons of television on DVD/Blu-ray for rock bottom prices? What about one of those sweet Dyson vacuum cleaners with the roller ball? The answer to all of the above is most likely a resounding “no”, but need isn’t what Black Friday is all about. Not even close. Black Friday is all about getting something/anything on the cheap if for no other reason than because if you don’t, then the person behind you in line will. Oh, America. How I love thee.

In this week’s “Top 5″ installment you’ll find our set visit coverage for Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, our review and interviews for a little movie you may have heard about called The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1, the first trailer for director Tarsem Singh’s Snow White-tale Mirror Mirror, a new trailer for Gary Ross’ The Hunger Games adaptation, and Steve’s coverage from his visit to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando. Hit the jump for a brief recap and link to each.

With Summit Entertainment’s The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 hitting theaters tomorrow at midnight, it’s time for our final interview and it’s with director Bill Condon.  During my exclusive interview, Condon talked about how he got involved in the franchise, what props he took home, whether or not he did any test screenings, if the DVD/Blu-ray will have an extended edition, deleted scenes, the Easter eggs (you should stay through the credits), Bella’s transformation, and his future projects.  In addition, Condon revealed that his first cut of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 was 2 hours 14 minutes and now it’s about 1 hour 52 minutes without credits.  Hit the jump to watch.

With director Bill Condon’s The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 hitting theaters November 18, Summit Entertainment has sent over 10 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage (B-Roll) from when they were making the movie.  If you wish you could have been on the set to watch Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and the rest of the cast goof around in between shots, you’ll enjoy the footage.  In addition to the cast looking at monitors and having fun, you can watch Condon direct the actors and see behind-the-scenes footage from the wedding and the honeymoon.  Hit the jump to watch and look for new interviews with the cast tomorrow.

Summit has released a new featurette for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1.  The featurette focuses on the wedding between Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson), and as Pattinson so eloquently puts it, “it’s a relatively momentous moment.”  I’m sure Twilight fans will fawn over the wedding scene, and I’m always a fan of seeing an 18-year-old marry a 500-year-old vampire.

Hit the jump to check out the featurette.  The film also stars Taylor Lautner, Billy Burke, Peter Facinelli, Elizabeth Reaser, Jackson Rathbone, Nikki Reed, Ashley Greene, and Kellan Lutz.  The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 opens November 18th.

Yesterday, we posted some behind-the-scenes footage and interviews from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1.  Today, Summit Entertainment has released seven new images from the film.  They look exactly as you’d expect a Twilight movie to look at this point.  I haven’t read the book, but in the image above it looks like Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) has spilled cranberry juice on his shirt.  It’s tragic because he loved that shirt like no one has loved a shirt in human history.

Hit the jump to check out the images (although one of them appears to be just a headshot of Taylor Lautner, but I would love it if that was an actual shot from the movie).  The film also stars Kristen Stewart, Kellan Lutz, and Ashley Greene.  The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 opens November 18th.  According to the ArcLight Cinemas website, it will be 117 minutes long.

A new trailer for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 has landed online. Directed by Bill Condon (Gods and Monsters), the pic stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Anna Kendrick, Dakota Fanning, Ashley Greene, Michael Sheen and Kellan Lutz. In case you haven’t bothered keeping up, Breaking Dawn – Part 1 marks the penultimate installment in the franchise which is good news for fans and foes of the franchise alike.

As for the trailer? What can I possibly say about the Twilight franchise that its millions of fans haven’t heard and completely disregarded before? The acting is weak, the action looks cheesy, the writing is most likely contrived, blah, blah, blah, it’s going to make a ton of money. I had held out hope that Condon’s involvement would bring a touch of credibility to Breaking Dawn – Part 1 and while that may still be the case, I’m not seeing it in these 2:30. Check out the trailer for yourself after the jump. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 opens on November 18th.

Summit has released two new teaser posters for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1. We get one poster featuring Bella and Edward in a romantic embrace, and the other poster features Jacob all alone and sad-looking. Both posters are branded with the logically impossible tagline “Forever is only the beginning.” Directed by Bill Condon, the film stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner. The Twilight Saga- Breaking Dawn – Part 1 opens November 18. Hit the jump to see the posters.

The cover for Entertainment Weekly’s Fall Preview Issue has been unveiled, much to the delight of Twihards the world over. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart grace the cover providing some much-needed publicity for the relatively unknown drama The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1. The image finds Pattinson and Stewart all wet underneath a waterfall, with Pattinson doing his best “I hope I don’t eat her” face.

Hit the jump to see the EW cover, and if you missed Matt’s recap of the film’s Comic-Con panel click here. Directed by Bill Condon, the film stars Pattinson, Stewart, and Taylor Lautner. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 opens November 18^th.
