Just last month, Screen Rant posted a pair of Twilight posters featuring Edward & Bella.
Yesterday, Cinematical got a hold of the newest poster for the Vampire-themed flick based on the successful novels. This is apparently the final poster for the film so for fans of the book series, I hope its enjoyable enough to hold you over until the film is released. 
Take a gander and see what you think:

New (and final) Twilight movie poster
Personally, these posters don’t do anything for me. I don’t understand the point of their style – as in the previous posters, Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen looks “mysterious” and Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan has a blank expression.
All the posters for this movie seem way too simple and do not feature anything from the film except the look of the characters (characters who happen to be played by not-very-well-known actors no less).
For larger resolution versions of the poster, head over to Cinematical.
I guess they’re marketing only to those who’ve read the books. Other than through word-of-mouth, I don’t see how this promo material will appeal to the movie-going audiences who’ve not read the novels.
So, have you read the novels? If you’re not familiar with the books, are you interested in seeing the film?
Twilight hits North American theaters on November 21st, 2008 and the U.K. theaters on December 19th, 2008.

I’m looking forward to this release as well,,, its going to be interesting to see how it does at the B.O.
Well no, if you go to Stephenie’s site, you will see that she describes Bella and put some of her own personal experiences in there. Bella was ordinary in Pheonix, a big place. But in Forks, there weren’t as many ‘beautiful’ people, so she was able to be pretty.
If that makes sense
Now that I’ve watched every Twilight trailer, sneak peak, and interview out there (what can I say, I’m obsessed), I just want to share that I love the choices for Edward and Bella. I had my doubts at first, but now I’m convinced that they are perfect. I simply cannot wait to see this movie.
I have no photographic background, but I am a graphic design major and I could probably think of 20 different settings that would be better than this one. An equally low-budget movie, Blood and Chocolate, had an infinitely more interesting movie poster with a much smaller fan base.

Not that I am a fan of the movie, but the viewer gets a sense of what the movie revolves around.
I understand the artist of the Twilight poster wanted to keep with the shadowed feeling of the first poster, but definitely more emotion and thought could have been tied in. The quote “Nothing will be the same” paired with this photo makes absolutely no sense and kinda makes me what to vomit.
I am a Twilight saga fan and I do not approve of this haphazard “art”.
Well, Jenn, we’re all true twilight fans and we’re certainly not “making fun of the movie” as you accused us of doing, we’re simply being objective and honest here. Just because we’re fans it doens’t mean we’re obligated to embrace and love whatever they(summit) have to offer by default, even if what they have to offer is really bad (like this poster). Also, you seemed to have misinterpreted the majority opinion here. We’re not complaining about rob’s casting as edward (i don’t think anybody is), in fact i thought (and still think) he’s the perfect choice for the role from the very moment his casting was announced. We’re complaining, however, about the technical and artistic aspect of the poster, which didn’t do the movie or rob justice IMHO. So easy on the paranoia and don’t get defensive ok? Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, and sometimes they’re just telling the truth.
i think the bokk were AWESOME but the movie is soo much different, its already so different in the trailers.
But im still going to see it and i think all you ppl who hate it should keep it to yourselves seriously!
I disagree that the movie is “soo different.” First of all, it is nearly impossible to perfectly adapt a story from page to screen. We can’t hear Bella’s thoughts, so some things have to be changed. For example, they didn’t film the months after the accident when Edward ignores Bella. How boring would that be? So they added a field trip scene to improvise. I can see it now: fellow Twilighters protesting, “that was NOT in the book!!!” But take it for what it is. The production team has more to consider than just sticking by the book. They need to make money. We all want sequels don’t we?
All things considered, I’m very impressed with how similar the movie and book seem to be.
I agree with Courtney. If you had looked at some of the other adaptions you’d realize by comparison twilight the movie is actually being very faithful to its source material (judging from the trailers and online footages we’re seen so far). Film adaptations by their nature always (and have to) differs from the books upon which they’re based. Changes are necessary in an adapting process for the movie version to be sucessful, or to work on the big screen, to say the very least. It doesn’t matter if they cut, add or change scenes as long as the central theme and the essence of the story is there. I don’t know if the movie will be hit, but the one thing i’m certain of is that if the mvoie had followed every word in the book, it would defintiely fail. Nobody wants to see and hear bella’s monologues and swooning for edward and saying how he’s the most beautiful creature in the world during the 2/3 of the movie (at least i don’t). How boring would that be?
Hi, I don´t know if yu´r all from the US or something, so I feel a bit stupid now wrigthing this. However, I´m a Swedish girl and here in Sweden the movie was REALLY a hit.´Everyonesw talking about it, seeing it. I have to agree – sadly enough – that the visual effects could have been a lot better, but I still loved the movie.
And just so all know, I DIDN´T read the books before watching the film. Infact, it was the other way around.
P.S
The acters, seriously – they were great!
