The sole salvation for skin this week came from Boardwalk Empire , where nudecomer Kathryn Barnhardt bared every inch of her gorgeous ginger body (including a great ass shot) having very kinky sex with gangster Gyp Rossetti ( Bobby Carnivale ). Take it from Mr. Skin (and David Carradine), kids– don’t try this at home! But sadly, Kathryn’s nude debut will also be her final bow on Boardwalk Empire . How do we know? You can see the spoiler-heavy evidence after the jump!

With one last action-packed trailer, Summit continues its final marketing push to bring the $2 billion Twilight Saga down the home stretch. What’s nice about this full two-minute trailer is it actually builds tension, at least, moreso than the abridged looks we’ve had this week . And while it lays down more of a foundation for the final epic throwdown between good vampires and not-so-good vampires that wraps up the series, we also get the tiniest explanation of the “immortal child” hullabaloo at the center of Breaking Dawn . The full trailer offers a bit more explanation for the uninitiated as to why evil Italian vampire Michael Sheen and his army of cloaked bloodsuckers are coming to Washington State to tangle with Bella Swan ( Kristen Stewart ), Edward Cullen ( Robert Pattinson ), and their extended brood namely, Renesmee. The Volturi have been waiting for a reason to punish these peaceful romance-loving Cullen vamps, and when stupid Irina (Maggie Grace, I cannot wait for you to not be annoying in a movie) tattles some misinformation they are convinced Bella and Edward have done the unthinkable: “Turned” a child. Also saved for the final marketing push is an emphasis on the special vampire powers that gave Stephenie Meyer’s Saga-ender such a left-field X-Men: The Last Stand -type feel, although the book differed drastically from the heated brawling we see here, so there’s at least one mystery left to uncover . Better to reel in fans with the homestead drama and Bella’s karate kicking skills and leave the really out-there stuff for audiences to discover in the theater (*cough imprinting cough*). The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 is in theaters November 16. Follow Jen Yamato on Twitter . Follow Movieline on Twitter .

It’s hard to believe that The Twilight Saga is coming to a close , four years and $2.5 billion and just one (!) world-shattering, tabloid-splattered cheating scandal later. Which means that the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it final teaser for the last trailer for the second part of the final series-ending chapter is the last ridiculously sparse preview of a preview for Breaking Dawn – Part 2 we’ll see. Sniff . Watch Robert Pattinson , Kristen Stewart and Co. get ready to rumble and pour one out for all 14 glorious seconds of the final Twilight teaser. Watch the video on YouTube. The full final Twilight trailer will debut during Thursday’s MTV Video Music Awards, where Pattinson is expected to put in time while Stewart promotes her On The Road at a safe distance at the Toronto Film Festival ; check back at Movieline on Friday to view it online. Breaking Dawn – Part 2 will vampire-run its way into theaters on November 16. Follow Jen Yamato on Twitter . Follow Movieline on Twitter .

Given author Stephenie Meyer’s close connection to Summit’s Twilight films (she came onboard to produce the final two films), the vampire saga has retained a firm sense of authenticity even as scripter Melissa Rosenberg has tweaked and added details to translate Meyer’s vision for the big screen. But a new EW Breaking Dawn Part 2 preview teases a “pretty big shock” for fans expecting stark faithfulness to the series-ender. What could be more shocking than the all-out vampire/werewolf/baby-loving party that already is Breaking Dawn ? According to EW , who has a slew of new Breaking Dawn Part 2 images including the above look at Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson in happier, more undead times, Rosenberg changed plot elements in the film’s last act that had Pattinson going, “What?” (Seriously. That’s what he says he said.) The good news is, Rosenberg didn’t act alone; she and Meyer supposedly conjured this maybe-huge, probably not-so-earth-shattering deviation together: Even devoted readers of Meyer’s books are in for a pretty big shock in the final third of the film, when the plot strays from the last novel in a sequence dreamed up by Meyer and longtime screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg one night over dinner. “When I first read the script, I got to that part and was like, ‘What?'” Pattinson says. “And then I had to go back a page.” Still, even those averse to change will be more than satisfied, and probably thrilled, by how the series ends. The actors certainly are. Says Pattinson, “It does it a serious justice.” The bad news (for now) is, fans have no idea how major or minor said change is. Since much of Breaking Dawn the novel is spent rallying for an epic final showdown between Edward and Bella’s army of vampire friends and family and the insidious Italian coven fronted by Michael Sheen, there’s a good chance the tweak is related to the X-Men: The Last Stand -like standoff between the two opposing enemies. Then again, since that standoff also happens to be rather anticlimactic — it’s the reason I never thought the book could be adapted easily to the screen — any injection of some new dramatic advancement would be welcome. But hey, who knows? Maybe it’s something as simple as a flashforward to Jacob and Renesmee’s happy future together, which isn’t weird at all . [ EW via CinemaBlend ]
