Twilight is a vampire movie coming to theaters 12/12/08. Which confused the hell out of me because I originally thought this was a TV show. But never mind that. It stars Kristen Stewart (that chick from THE MESSENGERS). What really interests me is that this was directed by Catherine Hardwicke (THIRTEEN), so you know these teens will do some dirty things. Hardwicke is even cooler because she also worked on FREAKED and TANK GIRL. Yeah!

As with most vampire tales, this does not skimp on the homoerotic undertones. Or as clearly stated in the picture of two dudes kind of making out, homoerotic overtones. I particularly fancy the men wearing belly shirts and staring admiringly in the mirror at other men. The chicks are cute and the men more so. The only way the leading guy could have been any prettier is if they hired Zac Efron instead. The press release stating he is “dazzling beautiful” makes me giggle.

And for your geeky viewing pleasure, here is the trailer that teaches you that even scrawny guys can get the girl….by literally falling on top of her in obscene ways and then dragging her ass through windows. Emo boys unite. Brood hard and long.

Synopsis:

TWILIGHT is an action-packed, modern day love story between a vampire and a human. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school. When her mother remarries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn’t expect much of anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she’s ever met. Intelligent and witty, he sees straight into her soul. Soon, Bella and Edward are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance. Edward can run faster than a mountain lion, he can stop a moving car with his bare hands - and he hasn’t aged since 1918. Like all vampires, he’s immortal. But he doesn’t have fangs, and he doesn’t drink human blood; Edward and his family are unique among vampires in their lifestyle choice. To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for - a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. But what will Edward & Bella do when James (Cam Gigandet), Laurent (Edi Gathegi) and Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre), the Cullens’ mortal vampire enemies, come to town, looking for her?
