New ‘Breaking Dawn’ Poster: How Does It Rank With Past ‘Twilight’ Teasers?

After months of waiting for official ephemera from “Breaking Dawn,” the studio finally threw us a bone yesterday: the teaser poster—that one-sheet paper promise of things to come—showed its face at last. And…well. “Anticlimactic” is a fitting word, maybe? But hey, now that we’ve got our initial reactions out of the way (“What’s with the trees?!” “Where are the vampires?!” “Why are there no shirtless Lautners on this poster?!!”), we’ve moved on to more important questions.

Such as, where does this promising piece of graphic design fit into the oeuvre generale of “Twilight Saga” teasers past? Let’s take a look back at ‘em.


2008: “Twilight”
The poster that started it all! Robert
Pattinson‘s pale, chiseled profile hovers in the blackness above Kristen
Stewart, who looks like a baby, OMG. Those cheeks! So young! Adorbs!

2009: “New Moon”
Nothing could ever come between
Bella and Edward… except Taylor Lautner‘s butt! Which, of course, he presents to
the audience as he makes himself a sandwich out of the would-be lovers—keeping
the two safely apart and giving us a world-class back view to boot.

2010: “Eclipse”
Oh movie, how you tease us. Instead
of showing us the actors we’ve come to know and love, this poster introduced the
whole “floating words over weather phenomenon” trend with the movie’s title
interposed over…wait for it… an eclipse.

Clearly, the “Breaking Dawn” teaser is taking its cue from that last one—instead of, y’know, actually showing us the characters.

Which ‘Twilight’ teaser poster is your favorite?
