3/12/08: Twilight Premiere - First Look!

It’s almost here! The London premiere of Twilight is happening at 6pm tonight at the West End Vue in Leicester Square. Before we get all vamped up, we thought this would be a great place to ask one of our favourite Twilighters, Stephanie B From Twilight News.co.uk, share her thoughts on last month’s press screening of Twilight:

On Sunday 23rd of November was held the very first UK screening of the movie Twilight. The screening took place at the VUE theatre in Leicester Square (London) and we were kindly given a copy of the book and an apple as a welcome gift. How thoughtful, how “Twilightish”!

E1 (the UK distributor) had booked 2 rooms and the reactions were different in each room when the movie was shown : ) The room I was in was mesmerised during the 2 hours that the movie lasted! The other room “screamed” a little when Edward came in the picture…
