Directed by Harald Zwart (The Karate Kid) and co-starring Jaime Campbell Bower, Robert Sheehan, Jemima West, Kevin Segers, Kevin Durand, Robert Maillet, Lena Headey, Jared Harris, Godfrey Gao, Aidan Turner, CCH Pounder and Jonathan Rhys Meyers, the film will arrive in theaters on August 23, 2013.

Looks pretty bland. I don't understand why all these teen fantasy movies rely on the same look and the same, unconvincing CGI. It's hard to judge the quality of the movie as a whole based on a minute of footage but this looks like a definite miss.
Actually, there reall is no CGI in this trailer. The film wrapped literally two weeks ago. There hasn't been enough time to add in CGI. That's what makes THIS film so remarkable. I think solely for te fact that Howard Zwart who directed the Karate Kid remake, which should NOT Have been good, but WAS, is directing that this does hold potential.
I'm glad Buffy isn't a Muggle so she can let Obi Wan show her true power. I hope her attraction to Team Edward doesn't complicate her destiny.
Could someone help? I cant put my finger on it, what movie is that music from?
I believe that's John Murphy's Adagio in D Minor from Sunshine (2007, Danny Boyle).
That's it!
Thanks.
It was used on 'The Adjustment Bureau' trailer.
I really don't know about this one. It just looks like another film wanting to get some of that Harry Potter/Twilight money.
I'm willing to give it a watch, at least, based on this trailer. It looks like it could offer some thrills.
Thems the facts
I enjoyed the books and have to admit that the trailer looks better than I thought it would. We'll see ...
