'Twilight' Fans: Have You Seen 'Breaking Dawn' Yet?

Fans of  Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight book series are flocking to area movie theaters for the release of the series' fourth installment, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1.

What about you? If you want a little bite (excuse the vampire pun) of what you'll see, check out the trailer attached.

Local theaters have showings all day today and will continue the blitz through the weekend. From the buzz already on Facebook and Twitter, every girl from ages 12-18 will be in a theater sometime soon – some thwarted from going last night only by vigilant parents.

Tweet this morning:

From @nataliechoulah of West Bloomfield: "My mom hid my keys last night so I couldn't go see breaking dawn... Now I'm late for school because I couldn't find them #thanksmom"

From those planning to go:

@melstonee: Just finished watching the Breaking Dawn cast on #ellen and melting into my seat :')

Some there at this very moment:

@babyluke123: BREAKING DAWN AT 10 OMG SO EXCITED :)

And those who might be regretting going last night:

@sgarmo: "Soooo Physics exam today. Saw Breaking Dawn at midnight last night. Ill leave my level of preparedness to the imagination...."

In the final installment of Stephanie Meyers’ best-selling book series, Bella Swan, portrayed by Kristen Stewart, marries the love of her life, vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson). When Jacob (Taylor Lautner) hears Bella wants to spend her honeymoon as a human, he is horrified — for Edward’s passion could kill her, according to movie preview descriptions.

The newly married couple soon discovers the unthinkable: Bella is with child. Drama ensues as the baby poses different threats to Bella, the wolf pack and vampires.

The promotional tagline for the movie is “Forever is only the beginning.” However, Breaking Dawn-Part 1 is actually the beginning of the end for the book and movie series, which included Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse.

Breaking Dawn-Part 2 is scheduled to be released a year from now – Nov. 16, 2012.
