Storyline:

Bella Swan has always been a little bit different. Never one to run with the crowd, Bella never cared about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix, Arizona high school. When her mother remarries and Bella chooses to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn’t expect much of anything to change. But things do change when she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen. For Edward is nothing like any boy she’s ever met. He’s nothing like anyone she’s ever met, period. He’s intelligent and witty, and he seems to see straight into her soul. In no time at all, they are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance – unorthodox because Edward really isn’t like the other boys. He can run faster than a mountain lion. He can stop a moving car with his bare hands. Oh, and he hasn’t aged since 1918. Like all vampires, he’s immortal. That’s right – vampire. But he doesn’t have fangs – that’s just in the movies. And he doesn’t drink human blood, though Edward and his family are unique among vampires in that 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. Somehow or other, they will have to manage their unmanageable love. But when unexpected visitors come to town and realize that there is a human among them Edward must fight to save Bella? A modern, visual, and visceral Romeo and Juliet story of the ultimate forbidden love affair – between vampire and mortal.

About Movie:

Twilight is an American romantic fantasy film directed by Catherine Hardwicke and adapted by Melissa Rosenberg from Stephenie Meyer’s 2005 novel. It marks the first installment of The Twilight Saga and stars Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan and Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen, alongside Billy Burke and Peter Facinelli.

Originally developed at Paramount Pictures with significant deviations from the source material, the project stagnated until Summit Entertainment took over and gave it a fresh adaptation more faithful to Meyer’s book.

Filming began in March 2008, taking 44 days to complete, with locations in Oregon and Washington providing the backdrop for the film’s iconic misty, forested aesthetic.

Initially slated for release on December 12, 2008, Twilight‘s release was moved up to November 21 due to changes in the release schedule of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

After premiering at the Mann Village Theater in Los Angeles on November 17, 2008, Twilight hit theaters and quickly became a box office sensation, grossing $408.4 million worldwide on a $37 million budget, despite receiving mixed reviews. The film’s DVD and Blu-ray release on March 21, 2009, became the year’s top-selling DVD.

The success of Twilight paved the way for four sequels: New Moon (2009), Eclipse (2010), Breaking Dawn – Part 1 (2011), and Breaking Dawn – Part 2 (2012), solidifying The Twilight Saga as a pop culture phenomenon.
