Seventeen year old, Isabella "Bella" Swan (Kristen Stewart) just moved to the small town of Fork to live with his father, Charlie. She has always been different among the girls in Fork High School.

She didn't expect anything so much to change when she met the beautiful, dashing and mysterious Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson).

There, it all blooms an unexpected romance between two people from two different world. A revelation of Edward's true identity as a 108 year old vampire and his family.

Pretty much a Romeo and Juliet story of forbidden love --between vampire and mortal.

This movie is rated PG-13.

1. Kristen Stewart has naturally green eyes. She wears brown contacts for filming because Bella is supposed to have brown eyes.

2. Over 5,000 actors auditioned for the role of Edward.

5. Kristen Stewart turned eighteen while filming the movie and was rewarded with a birthday cake - and a full night of shooting.

6. The actors who played vampires needed to be pale, so it was written into their contracts that they had to stay out of the sun.

As she walks closer, she hears Edward's voice in her head telling her not to do anything stupid. She later discovers that whenever she does anything reckless or stupid she hears his voice subconsciously. When she drives down the street and sees two run-down motocycles, she automatically thinks of her Native-American friend Jacob Black to fix up the bikes. She though that would be the perfect stupid thing to do to hear Edward's voice again. She starts to get a life back while hanging out with Jake and doing dangerous things. Victoria comes back to Forks avenging her mate James things are only getting more dangerous for Bella, but she doesn't care. She is fed up and wants to do something so reckless and stupid to hear his voice for days. She jumps off a cliff, into a river because Jake said he would take her cliff diving.
