Summit, the production-distribution company of Twilight is taunting the saga's enthusiasts. Every tidbit shared by the source generates an instant feeding frenzy among fans.

When  the company released the first 'official' poster for New Moon, fans were instantly in a flurry. The simplicity of yellow words upon a black background gave the new production a reality beyond the pages of the book.

Postulations and prattling about the next piece of eye-candy have only served to torture fans desperate for more news. Admittedly, when I received official word yesterday that the New Moon poster would be in my hot little hands at 4 am I squealed in delight. I preset the coffee pot and calculated my early bedtime in order to get enough beauty rest and get up in time to be one of the first to see the image.

Then an unfortunate breach in security last night caused a frenzied trail of leaked images across the net. By evening's end, though, with the exception of a sprinkling of leaked posters on some Twilight forums, most websites had ditched the leaked poster in favour of a note asking readers to return in the morning for a peek at the real thing.

So now I'm in the clear to present the first images of Bella Swan, Edward Cullen and Jacob Black in a haunting scene from New Moon.

While Edward Cullen remains at the forefront of the poster, Jacob Black's position between Bella and Edward deliberately gives him prominence. This new presentation of a trio of characters is one more indication of the bittersweet plot of New Moon.
