Umm, I guess they are all going for a quick jog. And I'd make the joke that "Edward, Jacob, and Bella are jogging right at *you*!", but this is the rare tent-pole franchise of the last three years to never go the 3D route (and kudos to Summit for that). Yes, this is a silly poster, which is fitting for the end of a rather silly series that I have a certain fondness for. I have an essay hidden away until closer before the film's release about why the Twilight Saga was actually a worthwhile and important franchise, but that can wait. For now, let us feast our eyes on the almost courageously goofy one-sheet artwork, as well as the 'epic finale that will live forever' tagline that is both too wordy and too late. This isn't Return of the King or Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part II. This is a series finale that apparently climaxes with a battle about the same scale as the 'lets all kill each other in the snow' smack-down that closed The Golden Compass. Still, in an era with any number of would-be Potter pretenders that never made it past their initial installments, The Twilight Saga should be proud that they made it to the end and got to summarily close the book on their own franchise in their own terms. Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn part II opens November 16th, 2012. As always, we'll see, but I've come this far.
