Twilight – Special Edition (2 Disc)
Twilight is a 2008 American romantic-fantasy film directed by Catherine
Hardwicke and based on the novel of the same name by Stephenie Meyer.
Bella Swan 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, 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 and
Bella do when a clan of new vampires, James, Laurent and Victoria , come to town
and threaten to disrupt their way of life?
