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!!
could today be the best day of my life?? um yes considering the fact I WENT TO COMIC CONNNN and saw these gorgeus actors in person. it was beyond belief, I <3 twilight
WHY WASN’T TWILIGHT IN THE FRONT FOR MOST ANTICIPATED MOVIE ? THAT’S JUST WRONG BUT ANYWAYS ….
I cannot wait for this movie and I WILL WATCH IT MORE THAN ONCE !
TWILIGHT ROCKS !!!!
AHHH!! I love Twilight!! i wish i could have been there!! it sounds like it was amazing!!
I was there at COMIC CON and I saw TWILIGHT!!!!! it was sooooo awesome words cant describe it. i was really close to the front so i saw robert and all of his glory. lol I love robert pattinson!!! today was the BEST day of my life!! cant wait for the movie <3 TWILIGHT
Ok, I must find the transcript. Sounds like everyone had an awesome time. I can’t wait to see Robert as Edward. He sings too. It’s official; the man is perfect.
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)
I wish I was there to see the fans bombard Rob, he has the best reactions. Is it true that an overzealous fan was arrested trying to get at him?
Robert is so perfect – brilliant actor, brilliantly hot, charismatic, sexy, talented, muscial. Natural and not fake. Whats not to like. Nearly forgot funny and dry too.
Poor competitors. I imagine Twilight will make MILLIONS on opening weekend. I myself have been waiting for this movie since before they even started casting it.
Robert Pattinson is going to be a big big movie star. Not because of his wonderful looks but his acting ability. Go check him out in the Haunted Airman. Brilliant. Cant wait to see him play Salvador Dali in November.
Ah yes, seeing the cast of Twilight was the highlight of my life!
Well worth the 5 hour drive for me…I loved how nervous they all seemed! Robert wouldn’t stop playing and pulling at his hair and was drinking TONS of water just to occupy his hands. It was adorable! Check out Youtube for video clips from the Q&A portion of it! I’ve seen a few on there and I will be posting mine too! (crappy quality but you’ll get the gist!)
i had tickets to this and i missed the event!
omg!!!!!!!!!!!
i so wanted to go to that but by the time i figerued out that they were doing that it was already to late
i so would have like fainted if i saw robert cause hes a perfact amzingly hot edward
I wish I could have been there to see Rob. I’m pretty sure I could fall for him like I did for Edward! The movie is going to be so hard to get into! I can see the “sold out” signs now.
even though i wasnt there i screamed ALL the time!
and im so glad fans have embraced Robert cuz he is a great actor… i wish i went 2 comic connnnn =(
I read “Twilight” recently just to see what all the excitement is about…thanks ew! I wasted a few $$ and a few brain cells. The Next Harry Potter – I think NOT. It is good teen fictioon, but other than that, I don’t get all the hype.
OME! i love edward cullen && jacob black!!
i love it!!!
i so wanted to go to the comic-con!!!
goshers;’
ugh..
*screams*!!!!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~~~
i REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY want to see the movie now!!!i cant wait until 12.12.08!!!! and breaking dawn is almost here!!! in one more week!!!
ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
EDWARD CULLEN!!!
OMG I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED. I LOVE that Rob is actually singing Bella’s Lullabye, it’s so important that it is very cool that they trusted it with him. Apparently not only is he singing it, well humming but anyway, he wrote Bella’s Lullabye. OMG I can’t wait to hear and see the movie OMG. One week till’ the Midnight Release of BREAKING DAWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YESSSSS I am so excited.
ome i love edward!!!!!!!!!!! i so wish that i could have gone to comic-con and seen the cast there. breaking dawn is 7 days away!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH CANT WAITT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Twilight sucks. Sorry, but if you’re not a teenage/pre-teen female, there really is no appeal. Poorly written book. The movie won’t attract anyone other than pre-teen/teen girls who have yet to develop a discriminating taste in films. The Day the Earth Stood Still opens the same day as Twilight. On 12-12, marketers will finally be able to learn if young females hold greater buying power than everyone else combined.
I never once doubted Robert when I heard he got the part as Edward. And I totally didn’t understand why everyone hated him.
Just goes to show…
I WAS RIGHT! He IS going to be a great Edward!
