With exactly one month to go until the much-anticipated (to say the very least) premiere of New Moon, the folks at Summit are still getting the Twi-hards’ tongues wagging with a new clip aired last night and this latest batch of stills from the movie. But has too much of the movie been revealed — both for those who never read the book and for those who did but still want to be surprised by the visual interpretation?

In today’s Buzz Battle, editors S and B square off about whether or not the spoilers are already ruining the yet-to-be released movie.

• Editor B: For my opening remarks, I will admit that I’m enjoying all the new footage. I’m always on the hunt for a hot new RPattz photo for my desktop background, and as someone who didn’t know much about the Twilight saga this time last year, I’ve become a full-fledged fan. But like any TV or movie spoilers, the fun of the anticipation is never worth it if expectations are too high. I don’t want to walk out of the theater saying, “Man, that was a boring and anticlimactic 2 hours, but the 12 months of hype leading up to it sure was exciting.”To see Editor S’s retort and additional arguments, plus more photos just read more.
• Editor S: I read the book New Moon over a year ago, so nothing can be spoiled for me. In fact, I’m kind of inspired to re-read the book since I don’t remember everything I’m seeing in these new photos. My point is that the audience of New Moon will largely be made up of readers who are looking for a loyal scene-by-scene mirror of the book, so the clips are exciting reminders of what happened in those pages. And if you haven’t read the book? A) It’s not a spoiler if it’s in the book, and B) There are still 30 days to read up.
• Editor B: Back at Comic-Con, I felt like it was a very special privilege to see the shirtless Edward scene in all its glory, and I totally didn’t expect that part to make it to the movie’s preview. But there it was: the climax of the book played out in the trailer. I understand that the folks at Summit are catering to pre-ordained fans of the series, but couldn’t they have kept the most intense scene of the movie a secret for the select few who don’t know exactly what’s going to happen? Part of the fun of the books is not knowing how or why Edward and Bella are reunited.
• Editor S: In this age of the Internet and blogging, there’s no way to avoid anything that gets leaked. That said, for those who haven’t read the books, it’s a brilliant ploy to show Robert Pattinson shirtless. I’ll say it again: Robert. Pattinson. Shirtless.
• Editor B closing argument: While I don’t deny that the spoilers are helping to generate excitement and buzz, I fear that I’m being set up for disappointment. I just hope that New Moon has some quality entertainment to fill the scenes we’ve already seen — because otherwise we’re all just victims of a publicity stunt.
• Editor S closing argument: The book version of New Moon is 563 pages. That’s a lot of ground to cover, and we have plenty left to still see. Worst case scenario? Everything’s out there in the open right now. You know you’ll still be sitting next to me opening night, Editor B, your skittles and popcorn in hand, a big fat smile on your face.
