If you're starting to get impatient for the return of vampires to the big screen, Summit Entertainment has just the thing to distract you: the studio responsible for the cinematic "Twilight Saga" will put on an exclusive theatrical re-screening of each of the first three films, in the weeks before the release of "Breaking Dawn"!

The special event begins with a showing of "Twilight" on November 1, followed by "New Moon" on November 8 and "Eclipse" on November 15. Each showing is one night only, and will feature previously unreleased and exclusive footage from behind the scenes—all in all, the perfect appetizer to a nice, big vampire wedding banquet.

After months of waiting for official ephemera from "Breaking Dawn," the studio finally threw us a bone yesterday: the teaser poster—that one-sheet paper promise of things to come—showed its face at last. And...well. "Anticlimactic" is a fitting word, maybe? But hey, now that we've got our initial reactions out of the way ("What's with the trees?!" "Where are the vampires?!" "Why are there no shirtless Lautners on this poster?!!"), we've moved on to more important questions.

(Click on the image above to see our entire flipbook of "Twilight" teaser posters!)

Such as, where does this promising piece of graphic design fit into the oeuvre generale of "Twilight Saga" teasers past? Let's take a look back at 'em.

The countdown to T-Day is over! It's Wednesday, April 13, and Taylor Lautner will be bringing home the bacon right here at MTV in only a few short hours.

And by "the bacon," we mean "an exclusive preview of his new movie, 'Abduction,' and a Q&A featuring fan-submitted questions." Which is just as marvelous as bacon, when you think about it. (No, YOU think about it.)

In honor of Taylor's impending awesomeness, we've spent the past five days celebrating MTV's most memorable moments with everyone's favorite shirtless werewolf—talking about everything from his abs, to his craziest interactions with fans, to his abs, to... um, his abs. Speaking of which, it's time to debut our No. 1 best-ever video featuring the "Twilight" star: an interview that took place between the first and second films in the saga, a time when (gasp!) Taylor's continued tenure in the role of Jacob Black wasn't a sure thing.

Yep, that's right: unimaginable as it is now, there were in fact some hefty doubts as to Taylor's ability to play the role in "New Moon"—particularly when it came to the vitally important moment when Bella crashes a dirt bike, and Jacob takes off his shirt, and OMG THE MUSCLES. But even though Taylor hadn't gotten the official thumbs-up from the studio, he told us that he was doing whatever it took to keep on keeping on as a member of the wolf pack.

We're still counting down the days until the trailer premiere for "Abduction"—also known as the day that Taylor Lautner will sit down for an exclusive interview, participate in a Q&A session featuring fan submissions and present our first look at his action thriller. And in honor of his impending arrival, we've been having inappropriate dreams about hot shirtless werewolves every single night counting down our top five favorite Taylor MTV moments from years gone by. And here it is: Favorite Moment No. 4!

In this video, MTV News caught up with Taylor on the red carpet at the "New Moon" premiere, where we had a chance to chat with him about some of the most important, pivotal scenes in this installment of the "Twilight" saga. And by "pivotal" we mean "shirtless."

The "Twilight" boys are not making our lives easy.

You see, Crushers, we ran into a problem with Robert Pattinson just a few weeks ago. In anticipation for his live special "MTV First: Robert Pattinson" we had to narrow down our favorite RPattz moments. The only problem was, there were far too many to choose from. Turns out, "all of them" was not a viable option. So after some major negotiations—and okay, a few tears—we picked our Top 5.

Yet, somehow, here we are again faced with a nearly impossible task! To build up to his "MTV First" special, we must now attempt to pick our five all-time favorite Taylor Lautner MTV moments. And, let's be honest, the "Abduction" star (and his abs) has given us some really good ones over the years.

We're going to be counting down our favorite Team Taylor moments in anticipation of "MTV First: Taylor Lautner" and his new flick "Abduction," starting with the No. 5 moment in which Taylor has a crazy encounter with Tom Cruise. Well, not exactly Tom Cruise....

In 2008 we were introduced to one of the most off-the-wall characters in quite sometime: Les Grossman. Played by an almost unrecognizable Tom Cruise in the comedy "Tropic Thunder," Les was a sketchy Hollywood honcho, who just so happened to have an affinity for dancing to Flo Rida's song "Low."

Despite all this, Les made quite the impression on the industry and stayed something of a fixture. In fact, in 2010 MTV recruited him to help out with the MTV Movie Awards. In a series of ads leading up to the big show, Les crossed paths with some of the biggest names and nominees. One of which included—you guessed it—Taylor Lautner.

That steamy new honeymoon photo from "Breaking Dawn" sure has everyone talking, but the tease from Bella and Edward's big sex scene is definitely not the first time we've seen the two of them in bed. In fact, pretty much every major—and hot!—romantic scene these two lovebirds have shared has taken place in a bed. Talk about some major foreshadowing!

To keep our minds off just how long we have to wait until "Breaking Dawn: Part 1" hits theaters (10 months, 4 days, 12 hours), we've decided to take a look back at all the other times our favorite couple have, you know, shared sheets. You're very welcome.

Last year we listed off the movies, TV shows and other pop-cult gems we were most excited for in 2010, and though the Wizarding World of Harry Potter got the top spot (come on, it's a theme park), "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" was the movie we were most looking forward to. It's been a big year for "The Twilight Saga," and "Eclipse" definitely did not disappoint. As another year of "Twilight"'s domination is about to begin, we figured now would be a good time to look back at the series' biggest moments in 2010.

"New Moon" had hit theaters only several months before, but "The Twilight Saga" started 2010 off with a bang when there was reportedly some drama between Stephenie Meyer and Summit Entertainment over "Breaking Dawn," though the "Twilight" author quickly dispelled that rumor. That was followed closely with producer Wyck Godfrey's announcement that "Breaking Dawn" was gearing up to film the coming fall. We were all holding on to every will-they-won't-they rumor (3D? CGI Renesmee? One or two films?), and it took the majority of the year for any of those questions to be answered.

Yesterday, we marveled at Robert Pattinson's 10 most smoldering looks from the "Water for Elephants" trailer, but in truth, Robert has been smoldering for years. From "Twilight" to "Remember Me," the actor has perfected the art of the longing gaze and the contemplative stare. Which got my creative colleagues at MTV thinking: What would an entire trailer comprised purely of RPattz's most smoldery moments look like? Feast your eyes on the delicious results:

Now, picking my favorite snippet was a tough one. I mean, there's just so much goodness to choose from. But after reviewing the tape several times, I'm going to go with the quick cut at the 14-second mark when Robert's "Remember Me" character Tyler casts his gaze upon Emilie de Ravin's Ally. There's something at once creepy yet kind of hot about the clandestine moment. Maybe it just makes me wish I was back in college and had Robert Pattinson staring at me during a boring lecture—something that definitely would have made it easier to stay awake during my 8 a.m. calculus class.

Which smoldering moment is your favorite from our trailer mash-up? Tell us in the comments and on Twitter!
