Latest 'Eclipse' Trailer - 3rd Installment Plot

Rejoice "Twilight" fan community, the latest third trailer is now available for viewing.

This new preview is all action and very, very little romance. It definitely has more action in it than the previous two movies combined. While the previous "Eclipse trailer" was all about the Edward-Bella-Jacob love triangle, the focus on the third installment's plot, is on the scarlet-haired Victoria (now portrayed by Bryce Dallas Howard) in which she raises an army of newborn vampires in Seattle and leads them to the sleepy town of Forks to exact revenge on Bella and the Cullen coven. She's still mad that they killed her vampire partner James in the first movie.

The bad vampires vs. good vampires/werewolves showdown packs a huge punch of action. It's exciting to see the entire battle on the big screen! We all know that the ladies are already on board the "Twilight" phenomenon, so this action-heavy "Eclipse" trailer is probably Summit's way of attracting the male audience.

The tiny bit of romance portrayed in the trailer is of Edward presenting Bella with an engagement ring -- this is also the first time we're getting an up-close look at the much-talked about ring! I'm sure girls everywhere are rushing to get replicas made at this very moment.

We see a lot more of Victoria: barely escaping the grasp of Jasper in the forest and getting knocked out of a snow-drenched tree by Edward. We also get our first glimpse of Victoria's right-hand vamp Riley (relatively unknown -- until now -- Aussie actor Xavier Samuel) as he emerges from a murky lake flanked by a dozen or so vampires out for blood. The scene is eerily menacing and reminiscent of the work director David Slade (who helms this third movie in the "Twilight" franchise) did in his other vampire flick, "30 Days of Night."

One thing missing from this sneak peek is Bree Tanner (Jodelle Ferland), the newborn vamp that Stephenie Meyer recently announced would be star of the "Twilight" spin-off novella, "The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner." Hopefully, we'll get to see Bree before the movie opens on June 30.
