Twilight (2008 film)
Twilight is a 2008 American romantic fantasy film based on Stephenie Meyer's 2005 novel of the same name.
Directed by Catherine Hardwicke, the film stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson.
It is the first film in "The Twilight Saga" film series.
This film focuses on the development of the relationship between Bella Swan (a teenage girl) and Edward Cullen (a vampire), and the subsequent efforts of Edward and his family to keep Bella safe from a coven of evil vampires.
The project was in development for approximately three years at Paramount Pictures, during which time a screen adaptation that differed significantly from the novel was written.
Summit Entertainment acquired the rights to the novel after three years of the project's stagnant development.
Melissa Rosenberg wrote a new adaptation of the novel shortly before the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike and sought to be faithful to the novel's storyline.
Principal photography took 44 days and was completed on May 2, 2008; the film was primarily shot in Oregon.
"Twilight" was theatrically released on November 21, 2008; it grossed over US$393 million worldwide.
It was released on DVD March 21, 2009 and became the most purchased DVD of the year.
The soundtrack was released on November 4, 2008.
Following the film's success, "New Moon" and "Eclipse", the next two novels in the series, were produced as films the following year.

Robert Altman
Robert Bernard Altman (February 20, 1925 – November 20, 2006) was an American film director, screenwriter, and producer.
A five-time nominee of the Academy Award for Best Director and an enduring figure from the New Hollywood era, Altman was considered a "maverick" in making films with a highly naturalistic but stylized and satirical aesthetic, unlike most Hollywood films.
He is consistently ranked as one of the greatest and most influential filmmakers in American cinema.
His style of filmmaking covered many genres, but usually with a "subversive" twist which typically relied on satire and humor to express his personal views.
Altman developed a reputation for being "anti-Hollywood" and non-conformist in both his themes and directing style.
However, actors especially enjoyed working under his direction because he encouraged them to improvise, thereby inspiring their own creativity.
He preferred large ensemble casts for his films, and developed a multitrack recording technique which produced overlapping dialogue from multiple actors.
This produced a more natural, more dynamic, and more complex experience for the viewer.
He also used highly mobile camera work and zoom lenses to enhance the activity taking place on the screen.
Critic Pauline Kael, writing about his directing style, said that Altman could "make film fireworks out of next to nothing."
In 2006, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences recognized Altman's body of work with an Academy Honorary Award.
He never won a competitive Oscar despite seven nominations.
His films "MASH" (1970), "McCabe & Mrs. Miller" (1971), and "Nashville" (1975) have been selected for the United States National Film Registry.
Altman is one of the few filmmakers whose films have won the Golden Bear at Berlin, the Golden Lion at Venice, and the Golden Palm at Cannes.
