The latest installment, "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
But it's not all fang baring and claw clenching; there's also an explosive love triangle this time around. And lots - lots - of shirtless roaming by the muscled members of the wolf pack.
To gear up for the third feature to be adapted from the wildly popular Stephenie Meyer
The love triangle:
-KRISTEN STEWART
Character: Isabella "Bella" Marie Swan, the object of Edward Cullen's affection and best friend of Jacob Black.
Back story: The only sticking point in what otherwise appears to be a perfect relationship is that Bella desperately wants to be changed into a vampire so she and Edward can share their love for eternity. Edward, though, is determined to keep her human to save her soul. It's a dilemma made only worse when the ruling vampire body called the Volturi discovers that the human Bella knows of their existence. They force a vow from the Cullen family to turn Bella within a year or they will kill her. Bella is also being hunted by the vampire Victoria, after the Cullens killed her sadistic mate James.

-ROBERT PATTINSON
Character: Edward Cullen, the adopted son of Esme and Carlisle, adoptive brother of Emmett, Alice, Rosalie and Jasper, and Bella Swan's beau. He has the ability to read minds, with the exception of Bella's.
Back story: It has taken the brooding Edward generations to fall in love and now that he has, he feels responsible for Bella's life, and soul, so he resists turning her into a vampire, though outside forces are weighing on him to do so. In "New Moon
Where is Edward 100 years from now? "Oh, God, I don't know," Pattinson says. "I mean, it seems like he's gone through so many problems, and the series is only over a period of, like, two years or something - or three years, maybe, for the whole thing. I mean, you can't keep living like that ... it's just craziness the entire time. (Edward's) probably been killed or something."
-TAYLOR LAUTNER
Character: Jacob Black is Bella's best friend. He is a Quileute Native American and a member of the wolf pack.
Back story: Though Bella is still clearly in love with Edward, Jacob's feelings toward her have grown. He has also discovered that he is one in an ancient line of Quileute werewolves - mortal enemies of the Cullens, though sworn to a long-standing treaty with the family as long as the vampires don't harm humans. Suspecting Bella's desire to become a vampire, Jacob reminds Edward of the Quileute-Cullen treaty, implying there could be trouble if she is bitten.

Where is Victoria 100 years from now? "It depends what happens with Edward and Bella. I think she's so devastated by the loss of James that she would not stop until the Cullens were finished."

Character: Jane, a member of the ruling Volturi vampire guard who has the ability to create illusions of intense pain.
Favorite scene to film: "I actually enjoyed the scene where the Volturi is floating through the trees," Fanning says. "It was so fun. It was like the only stunt that I got to do."
Where is Jane 100 years from now? "Jane, 100 years from now, is probably still going to be in Italy, still using her power on the next little young girl that comes in. More of the same."
-ASHLEY GREENE
Character: Alice Cullen, the adopted daughter of Carlisle and Esme, adoptive sister of Edward, Rosalie and Emmett, and wife of Jasper. She has the ability to see the future, a holdover from her human premonitions.
Back story: With her precognition powers, Alice is able to foresee potential danger and proves invaluable in saving Bella from the vicious vampire James. But her visions can be misleading: She once thought Bella was dead because she couldn't see the Quileute tribe saving her - the wolf pack is blocked from her special sight. Will she be able to help again as Victoria closes in on Bella?
