Stephenie Meyer is a writer who has been picking up a lot of steam in the past few years. Her books are most often aimed at the teenage to young adult audience and are noted for using themes that people in that age group would identify with in the form of supernatural flights of fancy.

Her most popular books are in the Twilight Trilogy which revolves around the world of vampires who live side by side with normal people, albeit secretly. The novel, along with its sequels New Moon, and Eclipse, is very popular among the teenage audience. The books popularity has led to the decision to make a feature film based on the first novel.

The film version of Twilight is being produced by Summit Films. Casting is already well underway. On November 16, 2007 it was announced that Kristen Stewart would portray main character Isabella Swan in the big screen adaptation.

The film co-stars Robert Pattinson as the vampire Edward Cullen, Anna Kendrick as Jessica Stanley, Justin Chon as Eric Yorkie, Michael Welch as Mike Newton, with Cam Gigandet as James, the main villain of the story. An extensive casting search is currently underway to find a Native American boy between the ages of 16 years and 18 years to portray the much sought after role of Jacob Black.

The film is being directed by Catherine Hardwicke, perhaps best known for directing the films Thirteen, Lords of Dogtown, and the Biblically themed The Nativity Story.

The story follows Isabella Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) as she falls in love with Edward Cullen (Robert Patterson) who reveals himself to be a vampire. In this tale, vampires live in clans, and Edward reveals his clan does not hunt humans, only animals.

The primary conflict in the story comes from Bella’s mission to keep Edward’s true identity a secret from her family, friends, and class mates. Things get even more dangerous when another clan infiltrates the Cullen clan and set their sights on Bella. Their star crossed love affair becomes a race for survival as tensions mount and danger builds.

At present, no date has been set for the film’s release, and it is still considered as only In Production. Many fans have been uneasy with the notion of the film’s production and several of the casting decisions, but other fans have remained enthusiastic due to author Stephenie Meyer’s enthusiasm about the project.
