The folks behind the upcoming movie, Twilight, based on Stephenie Meyer's book series, have finally stopped torturing fans with teaser-length trailers and premiered a new one yesterday on MySpace. You can watch it more easily here though, on the ecard or embedded below the jump.

It certainly gives us a better look at the actors and the action scenes. Aside from the two leads, the casting is nothing like what I personally imagined. Rosalie Cullen is repeatedly described as unbelievably gorgeous, but she appears rather normally attractive in the stills on the website. Conversely, the non-friendly vampires are more glamorous than in the book: Laurent has dreadlocks here and James sports bleached hair and a leather jacket, but why not. The only thing that really bugs me is that Kristen Stewart always seem to be wearing headphones when Bella is supposed to be not much of a music fan, as if to suggest that all teenagers are glued to iPods all the time. Oh well. The chemistry between Stewart and Robert Pattinson's Edward looks pretty good, so hopefully the dialogue will be deserving of it and the fight scenes will be convincing. In the wake of Harry Potter's retreat till 2009, the release date has been moved up from Dec. 12 to Nov. 21st, so I'm looking forward to it.

There is also apparently a soundtrack available, with tracks by The Black Ghosts, MuteMath, Paramore, Perry Farrell, Muse (reportedly Meyer's favorite band), and even a song by Robert Pattinson himself.
