Warner Bros. has released the first full-length trailer for director James Wan’s (Saw, Insidious) upcoming horror film The Conjuring. The first trailer for the film was a genuinely terrifying clip that showcased the kinds of scares Wan has crafted for this latest horror pic, and this new full trailer is no less terrifying. The film is based on the story of the Perron family who inhabited a haunted Rhode Island farmhouse in the 1970s. Lili Taylor and Ron Livingston play the Perrons, and Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson play a husband and wife team of psychic investigators who encounter the most horrifying case of their career. Wan recently told the audience at WonderCon that the film received an R-rating simply for being “too scary,” and I’m now fairly certain that I’ll be watching this one through covered eyes this summer.

Warner Bros. has released the incredibly creepy first trailer and poster for director James Wan’s (Insidious, Saw) horror film The Conjuring. The pic is based on the story of the Perron family who inhabited a haunted Rhode Island farmhouse in the 1970s. Lili Taylor and Ron Livingston play the Perrons, and Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson play a husband and wife team of psychic investigators who encounter the most horrifying case of their career. The film’s release date was moved into the middle of the summer after some through-the-roof test screening responses, and from this trailer I can most certainly see why. Horror films rarely frighten me, but I found this incredibly well-cut trailer to be extremely effective and just a little bit terrifying.

While the 85th Academy Awards will honor the very best of what 2012 had to offer in film tonight, the opposite end of the spectrum (supposedly) has been singled out this morning. The Razzie Awards named The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 the Worst Picture of 2012, handing the film a total of seven awards including Worst Director for Bill Condon, Worst Screen Couple for Taylor Lautner and Mackenzie Foy, and Worst Actress for Kristen Stewart (she shared this award with her work in Snow White and the Huntsman). Though I’m not the biggest fan of the franchise, if you think Breaking Dawn – Part 2 was the worst film of 2012 then you need to see more movies; the pic almost kind of works because of Condon’s direction, not in spite of it, and the final battle scene is legitimately entertaining.
Elsewhere at the Razzies, Adam Sandler was named Worst Actor for That’s My Boy and Rihanna “won” Worst Supporting Actress for Battleship. Hit the jump to see the full list of winners.

A new featurette and TV spot for the concluding chapter in the Twilight franchise, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, have been released. The TV spot doesn’t look like it includes any new footage, but the featurette provides a pretty cool look at the film’s big action effects and stunt work. A good deal of the featurette is also devoted to the cast trying to explain the ridiculous plot, which involves a governing group of vampires getting angry with Kristen Stewart’s Bella and Robert Pattinson’s Edward because they did the nasty and made a baby.
Hit the jump to check out the featurette and TV spot. Directed by Bill Condon, the film also stars Taylor Lautner, Mackenzie Foy, Peter Facinelli, Ashley Greene, Elizabeth Reaser, Kellan Lutz and Jackson Rathbone. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 opens November 16th.

The end is nigh. The final poster for the franchise-closing The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 has been unveiled. The one-sheet features stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner running into some action, but just because they’re partaking in physical activity doesn’t mean they’ve forgotten to make their super serious faces. The film’s “forever” tagline is also present, as the poster threatens promises an “epic finale that will live forever.”

While the trailer we brought you last night for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 was all well and good, tonight we have the full final trailer for the epic conclusion to The Twilight Saga. While this version features the exact same amount of cougar tackling as the last one, fans will also be happy to see about forty-five seconds of new footage. The final trailer reveals more of the world’s vampires outside of Forks, the powers they possess and the punishment that awaits Bella and her coven should they fail.

A new trailer for the final entry in the Twilight franchise, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, has been released. If you’ve been waiting patiently to see Kristen Stewart viciously tackle a mountain lion, your moment has come. This trailer focuses on Stewart’s newfound vampire powers and sets up the major conflict in the film: the vampire government (cult?) the Volturi is angry because they think Bella and Edward created a vampire baby by biting a child, which is apparently frowned upon in the Twilight universe. As we all know, Renesmee is the fruit of some good old fashioned baby-makin’, but I guess instead of trying to sort out this misunderstanding, the two factions of vampires—and Jacob—decide it’s better to go to war. The drama and action levels look to have been upped considerably for this finale, and fans of the book series will likely be pleased with the results.

Four new images from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 have gone online. Like the majority of images we’ve seen from the upcoming film, these show Bella and her new family being happy as can be. At worst, the characters are looking at something disconcerting. Based on the images alone, it looks like the movie is shaping up to be an L.L. Bean catalog where strange things are happening off camera.
Hit the jump to check out the images. The film stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Mackenzie Foy, Taylor Lautner, Peter Facinelli, Ashley Greene, Elizabeth Reaser, Kellan Lutz, and Jackson Rathbone. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 opens November 16th.

A new image from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2. The image has Bella (Kristen Stewart) showing her daughter Renesmee (Mackenzie Foy) a pocket watch. I’ve seen all the movies to this point, but I don’t remember if a pocket watch was previously mentioned or if this is just Bella pointing out the fine craftsmanship of a well made pocket watch. Yes, they may be out of date, but that doesn’t mean they’re not classy. Everything in the series may have been leading to this moment: pocket watch appreciation. I hope this is the final shot in the movie.

The first time I attended Comic-Con was the first time Twilight came to the massive geek gathering. I can still hear the shrieks, probably because I was in Hall H for the franchise’s final installment, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2. This year’s panel began on a somber note, and there was a brief moment of silence for the Twilight fan who died on Tuesday. After the moment of silence, lead actors Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner were brought to the stage and met with the cheers they’ve always received at Comic-Con. The trio are joined by Mackenzie Foy, who plays Renesmee. Author Stephanie Meyer then takes the stage, making this her first Hall H appearance since the first movie. We then get a special video message from director Bill Condon, who’s currently in London working on the sound mix for Part 2. He tells the audience that the best way to start this panel is to pick up where Breaking Dawn – Part 1 left off. Hit the jump for my full recap of the panel.

Last night we got our first kind of look at Renesmee (Mackenzie Foy), the superspawn of Kristen Stewart’s Bella and Robert Pattinson’s Edward in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2. Now a whole batch of images from the film has gone online giving us a full look at the child, as well as some other new vampires and a few wonderfully awkward family photos. We just got confirmation that Breaking Dawn – Part 2 will return to Comic-Con next month for the last time, so I expect we’ll start to see some new footage from the film around then. These images don’t exactly make the pic look any less weird than its predecessors (which isn’t surprising given Breaking Dawn‘s strange plot), and there’s one especially uncomfortable photo that highlights the budding romance between Taylor Lautner’s Jacob and the child Renesmee. This is a thing that happens.
Hit the jump to take a look at the images as well as the new Twilight-centric EW cover. The film also stars Peter Facinelli, Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz, Jackson Rathbone, Elizabeth Reaser, Nikki Reed, Billy Burke, Rami Malek, Dakota Fanning and Maggie Grace. Directed by Bill Condon, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 opens on 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.
