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

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
