BIOGRAPHY, THE: TWILIGHT - OBSESSION
"Obsession" An unauthorized story on Twilight' Just like the characters in the novel, attempting to turn humans into vampires, Twilight readers have crossed over into the dark side of obsession. It began with a dream. A girl and a boy, in a meadow, falling in love despite the inherent danger ¨C he's a vampire and she's human, and the lure of her blood is almost too much for him to bear. Author Stephenie Meyer woke up from her dream and began furiously writing the story that would become one of the world's best-selling teenage romances, and in turn, a movie franchise that has bitten the public hard and refused to let go! Known as the "Twilight Phenomena", the success of the books and movies has meant that its cast of beautiful people, headed by relative unknowns Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, are now world-wide household names, adored by millions of teenage girls, and their mums! Directed by Catherine Hardwicke, the first movie chronicles how Bella goes to live with her policeman father Charlie in the wettest part of the continental US, where unbeknownst to her ¨C at least, at first - there lives a coven of vampires posing as well-to-do foster family, the mysterious Cullen's'. Bella's subsequent romance with Edward is as intense as it is dangerous, and when a rival group of vampires threatens the Cullen's' existence in Forks, Bella unwittingly becomes a target. Edward, helped by his "family" then races to protect her from harm, only to refuse to grant her one wish ¨C to become a vampire and spend eternity with him. The books read like a teenage confessional, which is probably why they appeal to the age group they were marketed at; and the movies have been no exception. The global success of the first film came as a complete shock to all those involved, especially due to it's lack of big-budget special effects, but even as the hype behind New Moon erupted, Pattinson was still getting used to his meteoric rise to fame, appearing dumbfounded at the mania, joking that he's going deaf from all the screaming!
