Stephenie Meyer News
Summit Entertainment will bring Twilight to the big screen, directed by Catherine Hardwicke (“Thirteen,” “Lords of Dogtown”) and starring Kristen Stewart (“Into The Wild”) and Robert Pattinson (“Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire”). It will be released in the US in December, no word on when we will be getting it.
The Twilight series is about Bella Swan, a 17-year-old girl who moves from a big city to a small town to live with her father. There she meets the the unnervingly beautiful siblings, Alice and Edward. Initially, Edward treats Bella as if she’s some kind of leper but then you realise that Edward is actually intoxicated by her. His reluctance to be anywhere near her is about his inability to control himself in her presence. Edward, though born in 1918, is a 17-year-old vampire. Bella also becomes close friends with Jacob Black, a 15-year-old native American boy who turns into a werewolf.
Meyer grew up in Phoenix, Arizona with a large family. She has five siblings: Emily, Heidi, Paul, Seth and Jacob. She “borrowed” her siblings’ names for use in her Twilight novels, most notably for the character of Jacob Black, who shares the same name as her brother, but was not named after him.
