SYNOPSIS
TWILIGHT is an action-packed, modern-day love story between a teenage girl and a vampire. BELLA SWAN (Kristen Stewart) has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school. When her mother re-marries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn't expect much of anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful EDWARD CULLEN (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she's ever met. Edward is a vampire, but he doesn't have fangs and his family is unique in that they choose not to drink human blood. Intelligent and witty, Edward sees straight into Bella's soul. Soon, they are swept up in a passionate, thrilling and unorthodox romance. To Edward, Bella is what he has waited 90 years for - a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. But what will Edward & Bella do when a clan of new vampires - JAMES (Cam Gigandet), LAURENT (Edi Gathegi) and VICTORIA (Rachelle Lefevre) - come to town and threaten to disrupt their way of life?
ROBERT'S CHARACTER
Edward Anthony Masen Cullen was born the son of Elizabeth & Edward Masen on June 20, 1901. In 1918 at age seventeen, having lost his mortal family to a particularly deadly strain of Spanish Influenza, Edward found himself at death's door. Whilst receiving treatment in Chicago, he came under the care of the enigmatic Dr. Carlisle Cullen. His mother had made a final wish that the young doctor do all within his power to prevent the death of her son from the same disease. It is unclear whether or not she was aware of the fate she was assigning to him. Dr. Cullen complied with her request the only way he knew how: by transforming Edward into a vampire. He had a brief rebellious period several years after he was created and blamed Carlisle for curbing his appetite.
Presently, Edward resides in the wintry town of Forks, Washington with his "adopted" family: Dr. Carlisle and Esme Cullen, sisters Rosalie and Alice, and brothers Emmett and Jasper. He attended Forks High School, sharing the graduating class of Isabella Swan, human daughter of Police Chief Charlie Swan. Despite almost ninety years of strict abstinence from human blood, upon meeting Bella he was barely able to resist the urge to feed on her. The unique, potent aroma of her blood proved to be a powerful temptation, awakening the dormant beast within and very nearly destroying the life the Cullens has constructed for themselves.
In degrees, Edward learns to overcome and to control his thirst for Bella, and his fascination quickly evolves into passionate adoration. However Bella's penchant for becoming embroiled in dangerous situations weighs heavy on his conscience. When Bella is part of a near-fatal accident involving Tyler Crowley's car in the school parking lot, Edward intercedes and Bella discovers his extraordinary physical strength. After he rescues her again, this time from a gang of would-be attackers in Port Angeles, she begins to realize that strength is only one of the strange gifts he posesses. After this incident, the two become inseparable and their love continues to grow and evolve into something profound. Edward finds himself unwilling and unable to stay away from Bella, though he fears that he is exposing her to danger and is soon sharing the secrets of his families various "powers" and their individual histories.
Edward's gift is that he can read minds, hearing peoples innermost thoughts. He has never encountered a person who is immune to his power... Until Bella shows up and he realizes that her mind is impenetrable. At first this infuriates him, but it is also the catalyst for his obsession with her; How and why is her mind a mystery to him?
As Bella comes to grips with the truth about the Cullen family, she continually begs Edward to turn her into one of them. She dreads the fact that she grows older than him day by day, and sees her humanity as more of a curse than a gift as she is pursued by all manner of supernatural assailants.
His brothers and sisters include Alice, who can see the future, Jasper, who can control your emotions, Emmett, who has supernatural strength (even for a vampire), and the amazingly beautiful Rosalie. Though most of them trust their natural instincts and avoid her because of her sweet smelling blood, they eventually adjust to the change and support Edward's feelings for Bella. They are all vampire offspring of the mysterious Carlisle Cullen and his vampire wife Esme.
While Jasper and Emmett's parents remain unknown, Rosalie and Edward talk of their parents occasionally. Alice is from an asylum and doesn't know who created her nor does she remember her past human life.
Edward is described as being impossibly beautiful. His face is angular and perfect--high cheekbones, strong jawline, straight nose, and beautiful, perfect lips. His hair, which is always in casual disarray, is an unusual bronze shade inherited by his biological mother, Elizabeth. As a human, his eyes were an emerald green. He is said to have a dazzling crooked smile. He stands 6'2", has a slender yet muscular body, and is physically 17 years old.
Though it is impossible to find someone as wonderful and perfect as Edward, the closest match would be Robert Pattinson, who plays him in the movie. Robert Pattinson is a very talented and handsome man, and is the most perfect person you can find to play Edward.

Edward Cullen: Why didn't you move with your mother and Phil?
Isabella Swan: Well, Phil's a minor league baseball player, and uh, he travels a lot, and my mom s-stayed home with me, but I knew it made her unhappy, so I figured I'd stay with my dad for a while.

Isabella Swan: [after a second of thought] Yeah. For now.
Isabella Swan: [voiceover] No one will surrender tonight, but I wont give in. I know what I want.
Isabella Swan: I know what you are. You're impossibly fast and strong. Your skin is pale white and ice cold. Your eyes change color... and sometimes you speak like, like you're from a different time. You never eat or drink anything. You don't go out in the sunlight. How old are you?
Edward Cullen: Seventeen.
Isabella Swan: How long have you been seventeen?
Edward Cullen: A while.

Edward Cullen: Say it, out loud, say it.
Isabella Swan: Vampire.
Edward Cullen: Are you afraid?
Isabella Swan: No.
Dr. Carlisle Cullen: You've got to make a choice, Edward, to prevent the change from happening.
Edward Cullen: no... NO!
Alice Cullen: It's gonna happen, Edward. I've seen it.
Dr. Carlisle Cullen: It doesn't have to be that way. She still has what she has.
Dr. Carlisle Cullen: [to Alice, about Bella's broken leg] Give me a hand... take your belt off.
[Alice takes her belt off]
Edward Cullen: Carlisle, what's my other options?
Dr. Carlisle Cullen: [to Alice] tie it above my hand
[Alice ties it above his hand]
Edward Cullen: CARLISLE!
Dr. Carlisle Cullen: [to Alice] go Alice, go!
Dr. Carlisle Cullen: [to Edward] Try suck the venom out.
Edward Cullen: you know i won't be able to stop!
Dr. Carlisle Cullen: Then find the will... or choose. She only has minutes left.
Edward Cullen: [to Bella] I'll make it go away, Bella. I'll make it go away.
Isabella Swan: It's like diamonds... you're beautiful.
Edward Cullen: Beautiful? This is the skin of a killer, Bella... I'm a killer.
Isabella Swan: I don't believe that.
Edward Cullen: That's because you believe only the lies... the camouflage. I'm the world's most dangerous predator, Bella. Every thing about me invites you in. My voice, my face, even my smell. As if I would need any of that... as if you could out run me... as if you could fight me off. I'm designed to kill.
Isabella Swan: I don't care.
Edward Cullen: I've killed people before.
Isabella Swan: It does not matter.
Edward Cullen: I wanted to kill you at first. I've never wanted a human's blood so much, before.
Isabella Swan: I trust you.
Edward Cullen: Don't.
Esme Cullen: [wraps her arm around Bella's shoulders] Bella, I'm glad you're here. We need an umpire.
Emmett Cullen: [walking past, tossing a ball in his hands] She thinks we cheat.
Esme Cullen: I know you cheat.
Edward Cullen: What?
Isabella Swan: I can't dance
Edward Cullen: Well, I could always make you
Isabella Swan: I'm not scared of you
Edward Cullen: You really shouldn't have said that.
TRIVIA
About Robert
» Before casting, Robert Pattinson had never heard of the Twilight novel. He only attended casting because he liked Kristen Stewart's performance in Into the Wild (2007).
» For the role of Edward Cullen, Robert Pattinson flew from England to director Catherine Hardwicke's house to audition. There, he and Kristen Stewart, who was already cast as Bella Swan, rehearsed the "Love Scene"/"Meadow Scene" on Hardwicke's own bed.
