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 & Bella do when James (Cam Gigandet), Laurent (Edi Gathegi) and Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre), the Cullens’ mortal vampire enemies, come to town, looking for her?

ABOUT TWILIGHT:

Based on the current #1 New York Times Bestselling series (30 weeks and counting) with over 5.5 million books in print by Stephenie Meyer, TWILIGHT is a cultural phenomenon, with a dedicated fanbase that eagerly awaits this movie. There are over 100 fan sites devoted to Twilight, and it has been chosen as the New York Times Editor’s Choice, a Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year, Amazon’s “Best Book of the Decade…So Far”, Teen People’s “Hot List” Pick, The American Library Association’s “Top Ten Best Book for Young Adults” and “Top Ten Books for Reluctant Readers” and has been translated into 20 languages. Critically acclaimed director Catherine Hardwicke brings to life this modern, visual, and visceral Romeo & Juliet story of the ultimate forbidden love affair – between vampire and mortal.

Following the interview with "Twilight" author Stephanie Meyer and director Catherine Hardwicke, we were joined by star Robert Pattinson and co-star Rachelle Lefevre. Pattinson is in the lead as Edward Cullen and Levefre as one of the "bad" vamps Victoria lead by James (Cam Gigandet).

Note: Pattinson's hair which came up in the interview, looked like he had a brawl with a wall outlet and lost. His answers shed little light on the film and at the end, made you wonder how on earth he got the part.

Question:

They're asked if they have any idea of what's going to happen at the panel following the interviews.

Rachelle Lefevre:

"We were told a football field of six thousand people."

Question:

Are you excited or nervous?

Robert Pattinson:

"I don't know, I can't answer the most basic, fundamental questions."

Question:

How do you get your hair like that?

Robert Pattinson:

"I just don't wash it...ever. It's easy."

Question:

Did you two feel chemistry?

It's obvious that they do in real life...

Rachelle Lefevre:

No! No we hate each other in the film. We all had a really good time. The cast is all really close in age. So we all showed up and we were like 'Twilight! What's up, let's go for dinner' or 'let's hang.' It was kind of this amazing experience like that, yeah we got lucky."

Question:

What was your favorite part?

Robert Pattinson:

"There was a part where I get my head hit into a wall like it's supposed to be super-hard. It's quiet cool when someone can hit you as hard as they can into a wall and the whole thing falls down and it just doesn't hurt. That was quite fun."

Rachelle Lefevre:

"Cam and Edi and I got to do this thing called Magic Carpet - if you can imagine this enormous piece, a thirty foot piece of plexiglass on the ground and you walk on it while it's been pulled at you know fifteen, twenty miles an hour by a winch. And, so the ground underneath you is literally moving at top speed, even if you're walking in slow motion. They didn't want to do CGI on us, looking like we moved inhumanly and so we had a full day of learning how to walk. First you start on your knees, and then you stand a little more with the rope, then you let go, then you have to walk all over again, on this thing and it makes you look like you're walking at thirty miles an hour when all you're doing is taking steps and that was a pretty cool thing to get to learn how to do."

Question:

Speaking of effects, have you seen any of the sparkle, dazzle look yet?

Robert Pattinson:

"No, I'm really worried about that. Well, not worried, I'm not worried but that's kind of the big part, the big reveal and I have no idea. It's almost impossible to do as well without making it look kind of cheesy. There's a company who's been working on it, I don't what the company's called, but they've been working on it for like months and it's just one scene where it comes out. I know I think it's very difficult. I think we did about forty makeup tests, everything was so hard."
