This weekend we got the first look at the final Twilight film adaptation at the MTV Movie Awards. The story was broken up into two films with Breaking Dawn Parts 1 & 2.

The second and last film is releasing later this year and has a bit of a detailed back story, so be sure to keep up with this heavy plot.

In the highly anticipated next chapter of the blockbuster The Twilight Saga, the new found married bliss of Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) is cut short when a series of betrayals and misfortunes threatens to destroy their world.

After their wedding, Bella and Edward travel to Rio de Janeiro for their honeymoon, where they finally give in to their passions. Bella soon discovers she is pregnant, and during a nearly fatal childbirth, Edward finally fulfills her wish to become immortal.

But the arrival of their remarkable daughter, Renesmee, sets in motion a perilous chain of events that pits the Cullens and their allies against the Volturi, the fearsome council of vampire leaders, setting the stage for an all-out battle.

We’ve got the first trailer for you to check out after the jump, so hit that, and be sure to hit Breaking Dawn Part 1 in theaters November 18th.

While Twilight was a guilty pleasure, its sequel New Moon just made me feel guilty. Guilty for paying a sitter, guilty for the gas I wasted, and guilty for buying into the Twilight phenomenon to begin with. A wretched excursion into franchise baiting, New Moon is flat out an embarrassment for everyone involved.

Briefly, if you don’t know the story of the sequel, Bella Swan is a mortal in love with a vampire, Edward Cullen. Towards the beginning of New Moon, Edward realises that it is too dangerous for Bella to continue seeing him, so he pretends that he doesn’t love her anymore and disappears. Bella behaves like a petulant infant and doesn’t leave her room for months because she is a narcissistic, co-dependent teenager.

When she finally emerges after months of alienating friends and family, she sidles up to Jacob, a local boy of Native American descent, who also is a werewolf. Bella then becomes co-dependent on Jacob, because that is what she does. She also becomes a thrill seeker, because whenever she endangers her life (via cliff diving, motorcycling, etc) she sees a floating spectre of Edward pleading for her to quit engaging in said risky behavior. In her melodramatic mind, this is how she can be close to her beloved Edward, if only for a second. That’s a healthy depiction of true love, right?

Apparently, this New Moon movie is quite popular with the ladies (and probably a few gents as well). So much so that they keep releasing one or two photos or a video here and there to help build the anticipation and the excitement for the film’s release on November 20. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say all this “anticipation building” is probably not necessary. I think the audience will find the film and they will come — in droves.

Still, far be it from us here at The Flickcast to deny fans of the Twilight series more pictures of their favorite characters. So, in that spirit, here’s three more photos from the new film to help with that “anticipation building” we were talking about.

In these new ones, from Teen Gossip, we’re treated to Bella and Edward staring at each other intently, Peter Facinelli as Carlise Cullen and a shot of Jacob looking angry (probably because its raining and he doesn’t have a shirt).

Check out the full sized pics after the jump.
