The first film in the series entitled “Twilight” was released in 2008 to rather mixed critical reviews, yet it proved to be a commercial success with more than $392 million grossed at the box office. With the focus on the relationship between a vampire Edward Culled, played by Robert Pattison, and Bella Swan, the film succeeded at building a devoted fan base over time. This resulted in the release of “The Twilight Saga: New Moon”, which almost doubled the profit of its predecessor with over $709 million grossed. In the latter film, Stewart and Robert Pattison reprised their roles of Bella and Edward, while other characters were played by Taylor Lautner, Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz, Nikki Reed and Anna Kendrick.
