-Film description-
Twilight- Based on the best-selling book series by Stephenie Meyer.
TWILIGHT is an action-packed, modern-day love story between a vampire and a human. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school. When her mother remarries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn’t expect much of anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she’s ever met. Intelligent and witty, he sees straight into her soul. Soon, Bella and Edward are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance. Edward can run faster than a mountain lion, he can stop a moving car with his bare hands — and he hasn’t aged since 1918. Like all vampires, he’s immortal. But he doesn’t have fangs, and he doesn’t drink human blood; Edward and his family are unique among vampires in their lifestyle choice. To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for — a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. But what will Edward and Bella do when James (Cam Gigandet), Laurent (Edi Gathegi) and Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre), the Cullens’ mortal vampire enemies, come to town, looking for her? Based on the #1 New York Times Bestselling series by Stephenie Meyer, Twilight is a cultural phenomenon, with a fanatic fan-base that eagerly awaits this movie. Critically acclaimed director Catherine Hardwicke brings to life this modern, visual, and visceral Romeo and Juliet story of the ultimate forbidden love affair - between vampire and mortal.

-Trivia from IMDB-[/u][/size]
**Henry Cavill was Stephenie Meyer's first choice to play Edward, but by the time the film came to be, he was 25 years old, and no longer looked the part of a 17-year old. He was then offered the part of Carlisle Cullen but turned it down due to his commitment with 'The Tudors'

**For the role of Edward Cullen, Robert Pattinson flew from England to director Catherine Hardwicke's house to audition. There, he and Kristen Stewart, who was already cast as Bella Swan, rehearsed the "Love Scene"/"Meadow Scene" on Hardwicke's own bed, it was then that Catherine casted him upon seeing the chemistry between them that Edward and Bella need.

**Over 5,000 actors auditioned for the role of Edward.

**The films budget was $40 million

**Robert Pattinson stated in an interview that this is his first American role and he had no formal training to perfect his American accent.

**Kristen Stewart wears brown contacts to play Bella, the actors playing the Cullens wear topaz ones, and Taylor who's playing Jacob wore a wig for filming

-Film facts-[/u][/size]

** Hilary Duff almost got the role of Bella, Colton Haynes likewise, almost got the role of Edward

** Ashley Greene originally auditioned for Bella, but Catherine thought she would be a better Alice so gave her that part instead. Likewise Jackson Rathbone auditioned for the role of Edward first, before eventually getting the role of Jasper

**Originally a script for this movie was written by paramount and shown to Stephenie who was just about to sell the movie rights to them- however this script this involved a twist on the storyline, having Bella popular and athletic, and Edward as a loner who no one liked. The FBI came in to track down the vampires. Stephenie was ready to pull out of the deal, not liking the story being changed, but then she met Catherine who agreed with her, and got it re-written, and eventually signed the rights to Summit entertainment, not paramount or MTV.

**At the point that summit bought the movie rights in late 2006, the book had only sold 10,000 copies, but its then gone on the sell 5.5 million

**Twilight was filmed in March/April this year, some extra scenes were then filmed in August which included - a cullens 1930's flashback where the treaty is made with the Quileutes, re-filming of the meadow scene and Edward 'sparkling', the lullaby, the first kiss and scenes with Jacob were all added.

-Film trivia-[/u][/size]
**The lullaby originally was not going to be in the film. Until it was decided that it was vital, it was then planned that Robert would write and play it, he did that but improvised when filming the scene. When the re-takes took place they re-filmed the lullaby scene with a new lullaby that Carter Burwell (from blue october) wrote, Robert actually played it in the scene though.

**The first scenes that were filmed were the ballet studio ones, this included a stunt which involved Edward and James crashing through the floorboards, which required stunt doubles. The first take was good, but James' stunt double ended up in hospital after hitting his head on a beam.

**Melissa stated in an interview that quite a few of the lines were improvised by the actors, such as the popular line 'you better hold on tight, spidermokey" from Edward- it was just randomly said on the spot by Robert and then was loved by the cast/crew

For Bella Swan, there is one thing more important than life itself: Edward Cullen. But being in love with a vampire is even more dangerous than Bella could ever have imagined. Edward has already rescued Bella from the clutches of one evil vampire, but now, as their daring relationship threatens all that is near and dear to them, they realize their troubles may be just beginning...

Legions of readers entranced by the New York Times bestseller Twilight are hungry for the continuing story of star-crossed lovers, Bella and Edward. In New Moon, Stephenie Meyer delivers another irresistible combination of romance and suspense with a supernatural twist. Passionate, riveting, and full of surprising twists and turns, this vampire love saga is well on its way to literary immortality.[/size]
