New Twilight Movie Clip

Mtv.com has a video showing a scene from the Twilight movie that is not in the book. The filmmakers also created a Cullen family crest, and each member of the Cullen family wears a piece of jewelry with the crest on it in the movie.

Looking for another vampire book to read while waiting for Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer, try A.M. Jenkins' Night Road for a different take on vampires or "hemovores" as they prefer to be called in the novel.
