8:05AM Molly Friedman | After only three days, the teaser trailer for Twilight — that highly anticipated franchise initially classified as
the “new Harry Potter“ — racked up more than two million views on the film’s MySpace page. As
industry insiders have noted, the vampire flick may break the record of 4.1 million first week views set by Indy 4 earlier this year. But after viewing Twilight’s trailer for ourselves, we couldn’t care less about records or the fate of Indiana What’s His Name. Why? The folks at Summit Entertainment managed to create excitement (and widespread teen titillation) not by appealing to HP dorks or Narnia obsessives, but rather by going the Gossip Girl route and putting together an ensemble cast comprised of barely known and ridiculously hot actors. Take a gander at what appears to be a fantastical and surprisingly romantic Tim Burton-esque world after the jump.
