Moregirls than ever crammed themselves into Comic-Con’s Hall H this afternoon — and it wasn’t just to see clips from the Dakota Fanning futuristic actioner Push and theNicolas Cage apocalyptic drama Knowing. No, they were there for the panel they’d long been waiting for: Twilight. And from the moment convention staffers placed the name tags of the Twilight cast on the dais, the ladies in the crowd never stopped screaming. The film’s actors seemed completely overwhelmed by the rabid Twilight fans. "Thisall baffles me," said the British star Robert Pattinson. "Its nice though, it’snice." Director Catherine Hardwicke, meanwhile, brought along part of the climactic ballet-studio scene, which put the screaming fans into a even more of a tizzy than thepromise that Pattinson sang Bella’s lullaby himself. Twilight goes up against The Day the Earth Stood Still on Dec. 12, and if today’s reaction is any indication, Earth‘saliens should be very afraid of Stephenie Meyer’s vampires.

So pleased all went well and thrilled Rob got such an amazing reception. He desrves it for creating a marvelous Edward.
I am so thrilled that Robert was received with such intensity. He makes an amazing edward.
MOAR TWILIGHT PLZ!!! *fangasms*
I’m glad the fans have finally embraced Rob as Edward – he and Kristen seem a bit overwhelmed in doing interviews and such, but it’s cool to see actors who aren’t always over-polished – the natural responses are much more interesting and ‘human’ (even for vampires!)
Damn it! Wish I had been there to see it. This movie is going to be HUUUGE.
I cannot wait for Twilight to come out. Because then I don’t have to read about it anymore.
I need to see clips of the panel, I’ve read the transcripts and it sounds so awesome!!

Has anyone seen the extended scene from the presentation posted on the web yet? I’ve heard about it, but really want to see it!!
MaryUtah, it was amazing, like you won’t be disappointed when it comes out, but we weren’t aloud to video tape it at all.
I agree with one of of the comments below me!!! Twilight should be the most anticapated movie until it’s out!!!! (Sry ^ I Spelt that wrong I think)
