Twilight is a 2008 American romanticfantasy film based on Stephenie Meyer's novel of the same name. Directed by Catherine Hardwicke, the film stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. It is the first film in The Twilight Saga film series. This film focuses on the development of the relationship between Bella Swan (a teenage girl) and Edward Cullen (a vampire), and the subsequent efforts of Edward and his family to keep Bella safe from a coven of evil vampires.
The project was in development for approximately three years at Paramount Pictures, during which time a screen adaptation that differed significantly from the novel was written. Summit Entertainment acquired the rights to the novel after three years of the project's stagnant development. Melissa Rosenberg wrote a new adaptation of the novel shortly before the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike and sought to be faithful to the novel's storyline. Principal photography took 44 days[4] and was completed on May 2, 2008;[5] the film was primarily shot in Oregon.[6]
Twilight was theatrically released on November 21, 2008; it grossed over US$393 million worldwide.[3] It was released on DVD March 21, 2009 and became the most purchased DVD of the year.[7] The soundtrack was released on November 4, 2008.[8] Following the film's success, New Moon and Eclipse, the next two novels in the series, were produced as films the following year.

Plot
Bella Swan, a seventeen-year-old outcast, moves to Forks, a small town located by Washington state's Olympic Peninsula, to live with her father, Charlie, who is the police chief of town. Her mother, Renée, is remarried to a minor league baseball player, and they travel often to attend games. At her new high school, Bella makes several new friends, but she is also intrigued by the mysterious and aloof Cullen siblings. Bella sits next to Edward Cullen in biology class on her first day of school, but he seems to be repulsed by her. After a week of absence from school, Edward returns to school and begins socializing with Bella normally. A few days later, Bella is nearly struck by a van in the school parking lot. Edward saves her by instantaneously covering a distance of over thirty feet, and putting himself between Bella and the van, stopping it with only his hand, and making a conspicuous dent on the van. He subsequently refuses to explain his actions to Bella, and warns her against befriending him.
After much research, Bella concludes that Edward is seemingly human, but has mysterious powers resembling those of a vampire. He eventually confirms this, but says he and the other Cullens only consume animal blood. The pair fall in love, and Edward introduces Bella to his vampire family. Carlisle Cullen, the family patriarch, is a doctor working at the hospital in Forks. His wife is Esme, the family's matriarch. Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie, are their informally adopted children. Edward and Bella's relationship is soon put in jeopardy when three nomadic vampires—James, Victoria, and Laurent—arrive in Forks. James, a tracker vampire with incredible hunting instincts, is instantly intrigued by Edward's protectiveness of a human, which incites him to hunt Bella for sport. Edward and the other Cullens put their lives on the line in an effort to protect Bella, but James tracks her to Phoenix, Arizona, where she is hiding with Jasper and Alice. James lures Bella into a trap by falsely claiming that he is holding her mother hostage. James attacks Bella by biting her wrist, infecting her with vampire venom. After a ferocious battle, Edward subdues James just as the other members of the Cullen family arrive. Alice, Emmett, and Jasper kill James, decapitating and burning him, as Edward removes the venom from Bella's wrist, preventing her from turning into a vampire. In the aftermath of the battle, Bella has suffered a broken leg, and ends up in the hospital, but her mother stops by to visit. Upon returning to Forks, Edward accompanies Bella to the high school prom, where he refuses to grant her request that he would transform her into a vampire. As the two go into the gazebo, they are unaware that James' mate, Victoria, is secretly watching, plotting revenge for her lover's death.

Production
Development
Stephenie Meyer's paranormal romance novelTwilight was originally optioned by Paramount Pictures' MTV Films in April 2004, but the screenplay that was subsequently developed was substantially different from its source material.[2][21] When Summit Entertainment reinvented itself as a full-service studio in April 2007, it began development of a film adaptation anew,[22] having picked up the rights from Paramount (who coincidentally had made an unrelated film with the same title in 1998) in a turnaround.[23] The company perceived the film as an opportunity to launch a franchise based on the success of Meyer's book and its sequels.[12][24]Catherine Hardwicke was hired to direct the film and Melissa Rosenberg was hired to write the script in mid-2007.[25]
Rosenberg developed an outline by the end of August, and collaborated with Hardwicke on writing the screenplay during the following month. Rosenberg said Hardwicke 'was a great sounding board and had all sorts of brilliant ideas.. I'd finish off scenes and send them to her, and get back her notes.'[26] Due to the impending Writers Guild of America strike, Rosenberg worked full-time to finish the screenplay before October 31.[26] In adapting the novel, she 'had to condense a great deal.' Some characters from the novel were not featured in the screenplay, whereas some characters were combined into others.[27] '[O]ur intent all along was to stay true to the book', Rosenberg explained, 'and it has to do less with adapting it word for word and more with making sure the characters' arcs and emotional journeys are the same.'[28] Hardwicke suggested the use of voice over to convey Bella's internal dialogue[26] — since the novel is told from her point of view — and she sketched some of the storyboards during pre-production.[29]
Adaptation from source material
The filmmakers behind Twilight worked to create a film that was as faithful to the novel as they thought possible when converting the story to another medium, with producer Greg Mooradian saying, 'It's very important to distinguish that we're making a separate piece of art that obviously is going to remain very, very faithful to the book.. But at the same time, we have a separate responsibility to make the best movie you can make.'[30] To ensure a faithful adaptation, Meyer was kept very involved in the production process, having been invited to visit the set during filming and even asked to give notes on the script and on a rough cut of the film.[31] Of this process, she said, 'It was a really pleasant exchange [between me and the filmmakers] from the beginning, which I think is not very typical. They were really interested in my ideas',[32] and, '..they kept me in the loop and with the script, they let me see it and said, 'What are your thoughts?' .. They let me have input on it and I think they took 90 percent of what I said and just incorporated it right in to the script.'[31] Meyer fought for one line in particular, one of the most well-known from the book about 'the lion and the lamb', to be kept verbatim in the film: 'I actually think the way Melissa [Rosenberg] wrote it sounded better for the movie [..] but the problem is that line is actually tattooed on peoples' bodies [..] But I said, 'You know, if you take that one and change it, that's a potential backlash situation.''[31] Meyer was even invited to create a written list of things that could not be changed for the film, such as giving the vampires fangs or killing characters who do not die in the book, that the studio agreed to follow.[31][32] The consensus among critics is that the filmmakers succeeded in making a film that is very faithful to its source material,[33][34] with one reviewer stating that, with a few exceptions, 'Twilight the movie is unerringly faithful to the source without being hamstrung by it.'[35]
–Twilight author Stephenie Meyer[21]
However, as is most often the case with film adaptations, differences do exist between the film and source material. Certain scenes from the book were cut from the film, such as a biology room scene where Bella's class does blood typing. Hardwicke explains, 'Well [the book is] almost 500 pages—you do have to do the sweetened condensed milk version of that.. We already have two scenes in biology: the first time they're in there and then the second time when they connect. For a film, when you condense, you don't want to keep going back to the same setting over and over. So that's not in there.'[36] The settings of certain conversations in the book were also changed to make the scenes more 'visually dynamic' on-screen, such as Bella's revelation that she knows Edward is a vampire—this happens in a meadow in the film instead of in Edward's car as in the novel.[36] A biology field trip scene is added to the film to condense the moments of Bella's frustration at trying to explain how Edward saved her from being crushed by a van.[30] The villainous vampires are introduced earlier in the film than in the novel. Rosenberg said that 'you don't really see James and the other villains until to the last quarter of the book, which really won't work for a movie. You need that ominous tension right off the bat. We needed to see them and that impending danger from the start. And so I had to create back story for them, what they were up to, to flesh them out a bit as characters.'[26] Rosenberg also combined some of the human high school students, with Lauren Mallory and Jessica Stanley in the novel becoming the character of Jessica in the film, and a 'compilation of a couple of different human characters' becoming Eric Yorkie.[27] About these variances from the book, Mooradian stated, 'I think we did a really judicious job of distilling [the book]. Our greatest critic, Stephenie Meyer, loves the screenplay, and that tells me that we made all the right choices in terms of what to keep and what to lose. Invariably, you're going to lose bits and pieces that certain members of the audience are going to desperately want to see, but there's just a reality that we're not making 'Twilight: The Book' the movie.'[30]
Casting
–Twilight author Stephenie Meyer[21]
Kristen Stewart was on the set of Adventureland when Hardwicke visited her for an informal screen test that 'captivated' the director.[2] Hardwicke had trouble finding an actor otherworldly enough to play vampire Edward Cullen. Then she got a call about a guy in London. 'I looked at a couple pictures and was like, ‘I’m not sure,’?' Hardwicke says. 'He had been fired from his last job, he was unemployed, he was in debt.' Pattinson flew to Los Angeles on his own dime to read with Stewart.[37]Shiloh Fernandez, Jackson Rathbone, Ben Barnes, and Robert Pattinson were the final four up for the role of Edward.[38] Hardwicke did not initially choose Robert Pattinson for the role of Edward Cullen, but after an audition at her home with Stewart, he was selected.[2] Hardwicke said, 'Kristen was like, ‘It’s got to be Rob!’ She felt connected to him from the first moment. That electricity, or love at first sight, or whatever it is.' Hardwicke gave him the part, but he had to make a promise. 'You’ve got to realize that Kristen is 17 years old,' Hardwicke told him, 'She’s underage. You’ve got to focus, dude, or you’re going to be arrested. I made him swear on a stack of Bibles.'[37] Pattinson was unfamiliar with the novel series prior to his screen test but read the books later on.[39] Meyer allowed him to view a manuscript of the unfinished Midnight Sun, which chronicles the events in Twilight from Edward's point of view.[40] Fan reaction to Pattinson's casting as Edward was initially negative; Rachelle Lefèvre remarked that '[e]very woman had their own Edward [that] they had to let go of before they could open up to [him], which they did.'[39] Meyer was 'excited' and 'ecstatic' in response to the casting of the two main characters.[41] She had expressed interest in having Emily Browning and Henry Cavill cast as Bella and Edward, respectively, prior to pre-production.[42]
Peter Facinelli was not originally cast as Carlisle Cullen. '[Hardwicke] liked me, but there was another actor that the studio was pushing for', Facinelli said.[11] For unknown reasons, that actor was not able to play the part and Facinelli was selected in his place.[11] The choice of Ashley Greene to portray Alice Cullen was the subject of fan criticism due to Greene being 7 inches (18 cm) taller than her character as described in the novel. Meyer had also stated that Rachael Leigh Cook resembled her vision of Alice.[43]Nikki Reed had previously worked with Hardwicke on Thirteen, which they wrote together, and Lords of Dogtown. Reed commented, 'I don't want to say it's a coincidence, because we do work well together, and we have a great history. I think we make good work, but it's more that the people that hire [Hardwicke] to direct a film of theirs [have] most likely seen her other work.'[44]
Kellan Lutz was in Africa shooting the HBOminiseriesGeneration Kill when the auditions for the character of Emmett Cullen were conducted. The role had already been cast by the time that production ended in December 2007, but the actor who had been selected 'fell through'; Lutz subsequently auditioned and was flown to Oregon, where Hardwicke personally chose him.[45]Rachelle Lefèvre was interested in pursuing a role in the film because Hardwicke was attached to the project as director; there was also 'the potential to explore a character, hopefully, over three films'; and she wanted to portray a vampire.[46] She 'thought that vampires were basically the best metaphor for human anxiety and questions about being alive.'[46]Christian Serratos initially auditioned for Jessica Stanley, but she 'fell totally in love with Angela' after reading the novels and successfully took advantage of a later opportunity to audition for Angela Weber.[47] The role of Jessica Stanley went to Anna Kendrick, who got the part after two mix-and-match auditions with various actors.[48]
Filming and post-production
On a bed in Catherine Hardwicke's house is where Pattinson kissed Stewart for the first time for the Twilight screen test. 'That bed made Pattinson who he is right now,' says Reed. That’s also where Hardwicke auditioned Evan Rachel Wood, when she had her get into her bed with Nikki Reed for the film Thirteen. When asked about her lair, Hardwicke says, 'MTV came and did an episode in my house filming the bed. It’s legendary.'[37] Principal photography took 44 days,[4] after more than a week of rehearsals,[49] and completed on May 2, 2008.[5] Similar to her directorial debut Thirteen, Hardwicke opted for an extensive use of hand-held cinematography to make the film 'feel real'.[11][50] Meyer visited the production set three times and was consulted on different aspects of the story;[51] she also has a brief cameo in the film.[52] Cast members who portrayed vampires avoided sunlight to make their skin pale, though makeup was also applied for that effect, and wore contact lenses: 'We did the golden color because the Cullens have those golden eyes. And then, when we're hungry, we have to pop the black ones in,' Facinelli explained.[11] They also participated in rehearsals with a dance choreographer and observed the physicality of different panthera to make their bodily movements more elegant.[11][43][53]
Scenes were filmed primarily in Portland, Oregon.[6] Stunt work was done mainly by the cast.[54] The fight sequence between Gigandet and Pattinson's characters in a ballet studio, which was filmed during the first week of production, involved a substantial amount of wire work because the vampires in the story have superhuman strength and speed.[53] Gigandet incorporated mixed martial arts fighting moves in this sequence, which involved chicken and honey as substitutes for flesh.[55] Bella, the protagonist, is unconscious during these events, and since the novel is told from her point of view, such action sequences are illustrative and unique to the film.[39] Pattinson noted that maintaining one's center of gravity is difficult when doing wire work 'because you have to really fight against it as well as letting it do what it needs to do.'[39] Lefèvre found the experience disorienting since forward motion was out of her control.[39]
Instead of shooting at Forks High School itself, scenes taking place at the school were filmed at Kalama High School[56] and Madison High School.[57] Other scenes were filmed in St. Helens,[58] and Hardwicke conducted some reshooting in Pasadena, California, in August.[4][59]Twilight was originally scheduled to be theatrically released in the United States on December 12, 2008, but its release date was changed to November 21 after Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was rescheduled for an opening in July 2009.[60] Two teaser trailers, as well as some additional scenes, were released for the film, as well as a final trailer, which was released on October 9.[61][62] A 15-minute excerpt of Twilight was presented during the International Rome Film Festival in Italy.[63] The film received a rating of PG-13 from the Motion Picture Association of America for 'some violence and a scene of sensuality'.[64]
Music
The score for Twilight was composed by Carter Burwell,[65][66] with the rest of the soundtrack chosen by music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas.[67] Meyer was consulted on the soundtrack, which includes music by Muse and Linkin Park, bands she listened to while writing the novels.[68][69] The original soundtrack was released on November 4, 2008, by Chop Shop Records in conjunction with Atlantic Records.[8] It debuted at number 1 on the Billboard 200.[70]
Release
Box office
Twilight grossed over $7 million in ticket sales from midnight showings alone on November 21, 2008.[71] The film is fifth overall on Fandango's list of top advance ticket sales, outranked only by its sequel the following year, Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005), The Dark Knight (2008), and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009).[71] It grossed $35.7 million on its opening day.[72] For its opening weekend in the United States and Canada, Twilight accumulated $69.6 million from 3,419 theaters at an average of $20,368 per theater.[73] The film grossed $192,769,854 in the United States and Canada, and $199,846,771 in international territories for a total of $392,616,625.[3] Its opening weekend gross was the highest ever of a female-directed film, surpassing that of Deep Impact (1998).[74]
Critical reception
Twilight received mixed reviews from critics. Based on 215 reviews collected by Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a rating of 49%, with a weighted average score of 5.43/10. The website's critical consensus reads: 'Having lost much of its bite transitioning to the big screen, Twilight will please its devoted fans, but do little for the uninitiated.'[75] On Metacritic, it has a weighted mean score of 56 based on 37 reviews from film critics, indicating 'mixed or average reviews'.[76]New York Press critic Armond White called the film 'a genuine pop classic',[77] and praised Hardwicke for turning 'Meyer's book series into a Brontë-esque vision.'[78]Roger Ebert gave the film two-and-a-half stars out of four and wrote, 'I saw it at a sneak preview. Last time I saw a movie in that same theater, the audience welcomed it as an opportunity to catch up on gossip, texting, and laughing at private jokes. This time the audience was rapt with attention'.[79] In his review for the Los Angeles Times, Kenneth Turan wrote, 'Twilight is unabashedly a romance. All the story's inherent silliness aside, it is intent on conveying the magic of meeting that one special person you've been waiting for. Maybe it is possible to be 13 and female for a few hours after all'.[80]USA Today gave the film two out of four stars and Claudia Puig wrote, 'Meyer is said to have been involved in the production of Twilight, but her novel was substantially more absorbing than the unintentionally funny and quickly forgettable film'.[81]Entertainment Weekly gave the film a 'B' rating and Owen Gleiberman praised Hardwicke's direction: 'She has reconjured Meyer's novel as a cloudburst mood piece filled with stormy skies, rippling hormones, and understated visual effects'.[82]

Should a woman fall in love with a man because he desires her so much? Men seem to think so. It's not about the woman, it's about the man's desire. We all know there is no such thing as a vampire. Come on now, what is 'Twilight' really about? It's about a teenage boy trying to practice abstinence, and how, in the heat of the moment, it's really, really hard. And about a girl who wants to go all the way with him, and doesn't care what might happen. He's so beautiful she would do anything for him. She is the embodiment of the sentiment, 'I'd die for you.' She is, like many adolescents, a thanatophile.
If there were no vampires in 'Twilight,' it would be a thin-blooded teenage romance, about two good-looking kids who want each other so much because they want each other so much. Sometimes that's all it's about, isn't it? They're in love with being in love. In 'Twilight,' however, they have a seductive disagreement about whether he should kill her. She's like, I don't especially want to die, but if that's what it takes, count me in. She is touched by his devotion. Think what a sacrifice he is making on her behalf. On Prom Night, on the stage of the not especially private gazebo in the public gardens, he teeters right on the brink of a fang job, and then brings all of her trembling to a dead stand-still.
The movie is lush and beautiful, and the actors are well-chosen. You may recall Robert Pattinson (Edward) as Cedric Diggory, who on Voldemort's orders was murdered in a graveyard in 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.' Maybe he was already a vampire. Pattinson is not unaware of how handsome he is. When Bella and Edward, still strangers, exchange stern and burning looks in the school cafeteria, he transfixes her with a dark and glowering - nay, penetrating - stare. I checked Pattinson out on Google Images and found he almost always glowers at the camera 'neath shadowed brow. Kristen Stewart's Bella, on the other hand, is a fresh-faced innocent who is totally undefended against his voltage.
Bella has left her mom and stepdad in hot Arizona, clutching a potted cactus, to come live in the clammy, rainy Pacific Northwest, home of Seasonal Affective Disorder. Her dad (Billy Burke) is the chief of police of the very small town of Forks, Washington (pop. 3,120). His greatest asset: 'He doesn't hover.' At high school, she quickly notices the preternaturally pale Cullen clan, who in some shots seem to be wearing as much Max Factor Pancake White as Harry Langdon. Edward is 114 years old. He must be really tired of taking biology class. Darwin came in during his watch, and proved vampires can't exist.
There are other strange youths around, including American Indians who appear not too distantly descended from their tribe's ancestors, wolves. Great tension between the wolves and vampires. Also some rival vampires around. How small is this town? The Forks high school is so big, it must serve a consolidated district serving the whole table setting. The main local Normal Kid is a nice sandy-haired boy who asks Bella to the prom. He's out of his depth here, unless he can transmogrify into a grizzly. Also there are four grey-bearded coots at the next table in the local diner, who eavesdrop and exchange significant glances and get big, significant close-ups but are still just sitting significantly nodding, for all I know.
Edward has the ability to move as swiftly as Superman. Like him he can stop a runaway pickup with one arm. He rescues Bella twice that I remember, maybe because he truly loves her, maybe because he's saving her for later. She has questions. 'How did you appear out of nowhere and stop that truck?' Well might she ask. When he finally explains that he is a vampire, he goes up from 8 to 10 on her Erotometer. Why do girls always prefer the distant, aloof, handsome, dangerous dudes instead of cheerful chaps like me?
'Twilight' will mesmerize its target audience, 16-year-old girls and their grandmothers. Their mothers know all too much about boys like this. I saw it at a sneak preview. Last time I saw a movie in that same theater, the audience welcomed it as an opportunity to catch up on gossip, texting, and laughing at private jokes. This time the audience was rapt with attention. Sometimes a soft chuckle, as when the principal Indian boy has well-developed incisors. Sometimes a soft sigh. Afterwards, I eavesdropped on some conversations. A few were saying, 'He's so hot!' More floated in a sweet dreaminess. Edward seemed to stir their surrender instincts.
The movie, based on the Stephenie Meyer novel, was directed by Catherine Hardwicke. She uses her great discovery, Nikki Reed, in the role of the beautiful Rosalie Hale. Reed wrote Hardwick's 'Thirteen' (2003) when she was only 14. That was a movie that knew a lot more about teenage girls. The girl played by Reed in that movie would make mincemeat of Edward. But I understand who 'Twilight' appeals to, and it sure will.
Note:Now playing around the country is the much better and more realistic teenage vampire movie 'Let the Right One In,' a Swedish import scheduled to be Twilighted by Hollywood. In this one, the vampire girl protects the boy and would never dream of killing him. That's your difference right there between girls and boys. Warning: This is very R-rated.
Love blossoms through the cold in “Winter Castle,” and sink your teeth into “Twilight.”

Jamie, a preacher’s daughter and the former target of much of Landon’s teasing, falls for him, though she warns that they can never be together. Although this movie remains prominent in pop culture, upon its release, in The New York Times, A. O. Scott called the film a “wholesome purgatory.”
TWILIGHT (2008) on iTunes, Amazon, Hulu and Vudu. Here’s another teenage cult classic to sink your teeth into. Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) is everything a teenage girl could want: smart, tall, mysterious and undead. Behind his brooding eyes and pale, luminescent skin, Edward is harboring the dark secret that he’s a vampire, which makes his lust and attraction to mere mortal Bella (Kristen Stewart) that much more dangerous. The film, which Manohla Dargis called a “deeply sincere, outright goofy vampire romance” in her review for The Times, follows as the two navigate high school and try to make their love work as Bella attempts to understand Edward’s world and as he tries to keep his thirst at bay.
MOANA (2016) on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, Vudu. If you’re seeking some sunlight and warmth in these dreary winter months, look no further: This movie, on track with Disney’s expansion of its “princess” genre, features Moana (Auli’i Cravalho), a chief’s daughter, as she ventures to sea to save her island. Dwayne Johnson voices Maui, a demigod who serves as an arrogant yet loving older-brother archetype. Set against a tropical background and with her beloved chicken Heihei by her side, she discovers her own strengths and weaknesses. To top it off, some tunes by Lin-Manuel Miranda, which Dargis said provide “jolts of energy and wit,” propel the young heroine along the way.
