(Check out video of the “Eclipse” stars talking to THR on the red carpet of the film’s premiere here.) Corral in “My Darling Clementine.” Well, why not a Western? “The Twilight Saga” already mixes together high school melodrama, outsider fiction and teen romance into a mishmash of sci-fi and horror genres. It’s like the uneasy partnership between lawman Wyatt Earp and outlaw Doc Holliday against the Clanton clan at the O.K. Which causes Edward and Jacob to contemplate the unthinkable, a temporary alliance to protect the girl they both love. This army recruiter is red-headed Victoria (Bryce Dallas Howard, the epitome of sensual, feline cunning), who, in seeking revenge against the Cullens and Edward in particular, means to destroy Bella. A series of vicious killings and disappearances tip off the Cullen clan that a vampire is creating an army of newborns - newly turned vampires whose ravenous thirst makes them stronger and more deadly than “old” vampires. Things pick up rapidly once intros are done, with the ramifications of the girl/vampire/werewolf triangle becoming increasingly intense for all parties while an outside threat looms over them all.Ī crime wave has hit Seattle, a few leagues from the bucolic Washington town that shelters so many supernatural creatures apparently without any townspeople catching on.

Edward takes one look at Jacob and complains to Bella, “Doesn’t he own a shirt?” The script by Melissa Rosenberg offers a few more opportunities like this that wink at its own silliness. The film starts a little slowly with its classic reintroduction of its main characters, heroine Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), more determined than ever to go vampire for her undead boyfriend the gloomy dreamboat Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), an ancient being who still hasn’t graduated high school and Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), a perennially bare-chested Native American who shape-shifts into a wolf at a moment’s notice.Įven here the film doesn’t mind kidding itself.
