SDCC Contest: ‘Twilight’ Comic-Con Swag

Posted by Empress Eve | July 28th, 2008 at 2:33 am

Geeks of Doom Invade SDCC 2008

Twilight Cards As most of you Twilight fans know, Summit Entertainment had a Twilight panel at this year’s San Diego Comic Con this weekend (see SDCC 08: Summit Entertainment’s ‘Twilight’). On the Con floor, there also a Twilight booth, which had freebies, contests, and a chance to get your picture taken with cardboard cut-outs of the stars from the upcoming film.

It’s safe to say the Twilight booth was one of the more frequented ones at the Con. I mean, the whole place was a madhouse, but that booth did real well this weekend. I fought my way over to it to see what kind of swag I could get my hands on. I missed out on the t-shirts, but I did snag a small poster and trading card sample set for myself and also for my niece … and extra ones for you guys who didn’t get a chance to go to the Con.

I have five extra sets of the Twilight trading card samples. If you want a pack, then just leave a comment here telling me why you think the Twilight movie will be awesome. I’ll pick 5 winners from those who leave a comment on this entry and one person will also get one of the posters.

The poster is the previously released teaser poster of Bella and Edward (see it here).

There are four cards that come in the pack; you can see images of them here above (actual card looks much better, I’m still on the road without a scanner so I had to take a picture of the cards just so you could see what they look like). Each pack contains the same four cards. The back of the cards have character bios and quotes. These cards are just a sample from the premium trading card collection from Inkworks, which goes on sale November 2008. The full collection will include scenes from the movie, character cards, and more. In addition to the base set, the collection will contain randomly inserted bonus cards.

And I want all of you Twilight fans out there to know that I braved some crowd to grab these items and did so twice. But, it was worth it, especially since the second time I went I was given a ticket to get a shirt at the Paramount booth (don’t ask me why, but this practice is fairly common at the Con), so I walked away also with an Indiana Jones t-shirt (yes!).

Ok, now start commenting for you chance to win! I’ll pick the winners in a few days when I’m done traveling and back in the real world. I’ll update the post to let you all know. Good luck!

i think the Twilight movie will be amazing because its based on an a compelling love story which defies danger on a regular basis. Edward and Bella’s relationship is like forbidden love i can’t wait to see their story to unfold on the big screen. Also the extra details that the movie has added such as ” The Cullen Crest” and new scenes such as the field trip scene will really make the book even more incredible. Overall the Twilight saga is sooooo awesome!
Caroline

I think the movie will be astounding because now people will be able to see the love that connects Bella and Edward. Every piece of text from the book can now be played out by the talented Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. I definitely think that they have the potential to make certain scenes as fiery and intense as Stephanie Meyer wrote them out to be. Some people will sadly go theirs whole lives without experiencing this kind of fervent love. So I look forward to seeing the movie because it will show people, in minuet detail (each body position, each eye exchange) what Stephenie Meyer means when she writes “I love you.”
Ashlee

Twilight will be the most awesome movie everrrr because it is the greatest love story since romeo and juliet. these are the hardest odds to overcome, trying not to kill her, every second of your life having to be careful. It will change the way we live. It’ll have every girl swooning over edward and every guy wishing and trying to be more like him. i think this movie will make our society a lot better in that way. the romance of the story is just sooo breathtaking :) if, being a book, it can make you laugh, cry, hope, and dream; imagine what the movie will do to you! and that is why i say the movie will be completely amazing :)

Twilight for me will really shine like Edward’s skin when put under the sunlight. It has a very unique story. For fifteen years, I never ever heard a love story between a vampire and a human being until Twilight came to my life through a magazine. As what my other fellow “vampire” friends say, Twilight will reign in the hearts of teen-agers like us…=)
As a fan of Twilight, I wish all the best for the author who created this superb, extraordinary, super-natural, phenomenal book of the 20th century. it was the novel i will never forget. TWILIGHT ROCKS FOREVER!!!!!

We know that the upcoming movie will really click…We will support the movie and encourage others to watch it so that they will know how EXTRAORDINARY Twilight is….We wish all the cast of Twilight the very best!!!!!

WE UBER LOVE THE TWILIGHT Saga!!!!!!! =)

the movie is going to rock because,

ONE- the newest AND hottest young stars are starring in it. how great will that be? like Rob Pattinson.. (;

TWO- the book is beyond great and i have faith with catherine hardwicke and the screenwriter who will keep is similar to the book. it reminds me when you read a book and pictures are supposed to play in your head, kinda like that i suppose.

THREE- it’s visual, now we can SEE how Edward and James fought, instead of imagining it, or at least it gives us a basis. we can SEE how graceful these vampires are, how flawless they look, and having it come to life opposed to our imaginiation, not that imagination is bad!

FOUR- everything about watching movies. the music, the darkness, the atmostphere, the dialogue, etc. personally, it seems more appealing than to read a book all day on a couch sometimes.

:D

The twilight movie will not be awesome, it will be AMAZING. There are many reason but it will be amazing probably because or Catherine Hardwicke! I mean, have you seen her work? She’s a very visual type of person and from the interviews with her she really knows her twilight and the emotions in it. Also letting Stephenie Meyer in on the movie was an amazing choice since, I mean come on, she wrote the books! If anything will have the possiblity of making this movie bad, she’s right there to tell them that something’s a bad idea. Not that there will be much bad ideas in this. Another reason this will be amazing is because of the actors. Robert Pattinson isn’t exactly what I imagined as Edward, but as soon as I saw him in make-up I was amazed at how awesome they made him look. Kirsten Stewart IS the awkward person I saw in my head while reading. Everyone else in this movie is pretty much spot on how I read them. It’s kind of unbelievable. There’s also a pretty obvious reason, If the book was amazing, how can the movie suck? They can’t do anything that much different from the book and since we all love the story in the book SO much, it will definitely amazing. The movie will also be amazing because as we sit there watching the movie there will be dramatic music and effects that we probably didn’t hear while reading the books so it will feel as if we’re actually in Forks. Also the setting is great! Hardwicke went through thick and thin in the location, including rain and sun that they didn’t want but seeing the trailer made me realize that she really did pull together an amazing movie after waiting for the perfect weather. Also the queen of the universe – Stephenie Meyer said the movie is pretty awesome and how can anyone disagree? What she says goes and she also has said she saw the whole book as a movie in her head anyway so the movie has got to be great if she SAID that the movie is good and how she saw it in her head.

The Twilight movie is gonna be really amazing because.. Well to start with, the actors are so amazing.
I’ve seen a lot of them in other movies and such and they are GOOD.

There has been a lot of talk about the cast, some are happy, some are not, I am HAPPY.
I really like the cast, they’re making justice to the characters.

Catherine Hardwicke who’s the director, she seems to be a great director from what I’ve seen. The movie Thirteen is one of my favorite movies and it has been for a long time and she was the director of it. Plus, Nikki Reed who’s gonna play Rosalie Hale in Twilight was the writer of it AND she also had a role in it.

So what do we have so far, the cast and crew are AMAZING.
Let me keep going with the book the movie is based on now. I LOVE the book. It’s so well written and it’s really touching and beautiful. Stephenie Meyer is a wonderful and talented writer. Twilight is really an amazing love story so honestly, a movie based on that lovely book.. How can the movie NOT turn out AWESOME?

And also, we have watched a scene. The scene where Edward and James are fighting and it’s really great.
The lines are so good and the wire works are done really well, everything looks so good.

And then we do have the teaser trailers. They are so amazing. I really love what we have seen so far, I can’t wait to see the real movie. It’s gonna be SOOO awesome!

I also think that the music is gonna play a big part in why this movie is gonna be so amazing. The fact that Robert Pattinson (Edward) himself composed Bella’s Lullaby, it just makes it more touching and it means a lot to all of us Twilight fans.

Even though the book are written for young adults I think all ages is gonna enjoy this upcoming movie because it contains so much. It’s action, it’s love, it’s everything.

Edward and Bella are like Romeo and Juliet, that’s how they have been described so many times.

I bet there’s a thousand more reasons to why this movie is gonna be totally AMAZING but at least I’ve mentioned a few of them.
Amelia

I think that the Twilight movie will be SOOO AWESOME!!!! It has an amazing cast, and Catherine Hardwicke is an amazing director, and she has done a great job on ALL of her movies! She’ll make Twilight even better than it already will be! I can’t wait to see it! Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are EXACTLY the type of people I imagined playing Bella and Edward! I’m am positive that they will do a wonderful job on the movie! The rest of the cast like Nikki Reed and Ashley Greene are exactly how I imagined Rosalie and Alice also! I can’t wait for the Twilight movie to come out, and I am so glad that I read all of the books! They are amazing, and Stephanie Meyer is a genious to decide to say yes to making it into a movie! I will be a dedicated Twilight fan forever!
nanayaa

I think Twilight will be awesome.(dont want to make you read too much!)
Christina

Well I think that the twilight move will rock because for one its twilight. the books were great and second Stephanie Meyer also was there when they were going over the screen writing so you know that if there was something that was way outta what she wrote she probably woulda said something. The actors that they picked to play all the caracters are great choices and after seeing the trailer it will be the best move of 2008. at least thats my opinion.
Nadia

Twilight will make such an awesome movie because everybody wants to see a human fall in love with a beautiful yet perfect vampire. Also, because the actors and actress that are going to be playing the story characters are great. There is a lot of chemistry in bella and edward, and Robert Patterson and Kirsten Stewart are sure to pull it off. I love the whole twilight saga and this movie is going to make big hit. Twilight is a new twist in movies; a perfect love story. Even better than the notebook :]] Bella’s and Edward’s story is one that captures your heart and tells you that true love is real.
Maria

Hi
I think that it must become a very good movie since the book is so good.
Then you have to think about what the actors bring to the movie, Robert is an amazing actor that have so many excellent movies behind him, Kristen Stewart is very goodlooking and have done great movies too. They both are great actors and Catherine Hardwicke have a great touch and can make magic with the movie.
The great supporting cast are backing things up and the trailers have been breathtaking. Then who can resist a good lovestory with sexy vampires, I sure can’t!!!!
Just looking forward to sit in the cinema and drool lool
Take care
Maria
Melissa

waiting for ….The Twilight Movie
I think that t it will be magnificent because it is based on the novel of Stephanie Meyer , is directed by Catherine Hardwicke , the screenplay is written by Melissa Rosenberg and the cast it is wonderful.
It will perfect, I’m sure!!
Ashley

This movie is going to be marvelous! I’m obsessed times a bijillion. I read the first book in 13 hours. Then someone told me it was going to be a movie. I had a flip out right there in the grocery store. I have been counting down since. We have 36 more days. My english teacher asks me everyday, “How many more days?” I got her reading the book at the beginning of the year and she read them all in 2 days! So now we are taking a fieldtrip to see the movie on Friday Nov. 21st! I’m turning the whole school into TwiFans! Yay! Robert Pattison is so fine too, yeah! :) Can’t wait, can’t wait, can’t wait! PICK ME! :)
Lisa Rojas

hiya,

well gosh, i can’t believe you are willing to give up extra twilight products!! if i were you i would just decorate my walls so i would be surrounded by twilight 24/7 ’cause yeah, i’m just that obsessive, but thats besides the point… Twilight i know is going to be a-m-a-z-i-n-g! for sure summit entertainment will keep true to their word of their saying, “We’re doing this for you.” It’s going to be full out pure twilight reenactment of the novel (besides the things they can’t do in real life…). peopel believe that Robert Pattinson, by the way, major fine piece of ass, is going to do great playing edward bacause to me he’s perfect just by looking at the trailers. And Kristen, oh my goodness, she just screams Bella and also by seeing the trailer she nail every cheesy (excuse me) line they give her and makes it believeable! All the Cullens are just phenominal and look the part,every single one of them! especially Emmett (Kellan Lutz), he’s my favorite, besides Edward (Rob!) -fan girl squeal- oh gosh please let me win!

I just want to say first, I LOVE GEEKS OF DOOM, I’m on your site every single day. & I of course LOVE Twilight, with a passion. It’s always on my mind. When I hear music I relate it parts in Twilight. I have seen the trailer 99 times (no joke) and I own and have read all the books each 5 times.
I am so obsessed with this awesome series. I have already pre-booked my tickets to see Twilight. I think it will make an awesome movie. Though I hear it had some mixed reviews from critical movie reviewers who know NOTHING of Twilight! *angry growl*
I know it is a rarity for the book to even amount to the movie, but Twilight just has to be an exception (isn’t it for everything else)

I love Twilight… oh my god! It’s indescribable & impossible to put into words!

TEAM JACOB 4EVER!
Danielle Vick

I haven’t seen the movie, yet. Will I go see it?
Of course.I HAVE seen clips from the movie, and already I can tell that it will have an air of mystery to it. And that ALWAYS makes for a great movie.

Kristin and Rob have so much chemistry, on and off screen, it’s amazing! And that in itself makes for a wonderful movie.And of course, if it is anything like the book, it can’t help but be amazing.
I don’t think Twilight will be great. I know it will.
Anything written, made or shaped after the Twilight series has no option but to rock this world.

OK… I am not going to BS here, the movie was okay. I liked the books a lot, but I am not a tween. However, my daughter is a tween and if you even have a new picture of the guy who plays Edward, she lets out the shreik that only girls can so. While it is ear splitting, I love my daughter and will do what I can to make her happy. Therefore, I am writing you here and asking for you to send us the SWAG. BTW… go to the DC Comics stand and say howdy to Stuart. Thanks. Enjoy sunny SD!!!
