So what's the story? Bella Swan meets Edward Cullen when she starts her junior year at Arizona High School. He’s drop-dead gorgeous, intelligent and funny but he has a dark secret - Edward's a vampire. There’s always something, isn’t there?
Being a vampire means Edward can run faster than a lion, stop a moving car with his bare hands and that he hasn’t aged since 1918. Forget Buffy though, this vampire doesn’t have fangs, or drink blood, and soon finds himself falling for Bella.
But when three nomadic vampires, James, Laurent, and Victoria, arrive in town, Bella's life is put in danger as they decide that they want to kill her.
It’s not the first time that Robert Pattinson, who plays Edward Cullen, has been caught up in black magic. He was Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire and was last seen coming to a grisly end. .
Kristen Stewart, who plays Bella, is only 18 but she already has a number of big budget Hollywood films under her belt, including Jumper, Panic Room and What Just Happened. Kristen has naturally green eyes but, as Bella is supposed to have brown eyes, she had to wear brown contacts during filming.
Twilight grossed $35.7 million on its opening day in America and is expected to be a massive hit when it’s released on 19 December in the UK.
