Having faced the journalists earlier in the day it was plain sailing for the cast of New Moon as they walked down the red carpet to be greeted by the fans. Local boy Robert Pattinson grew up near Battersea, where the 'Twi-Hards' had gathered to catch a glimpse of the stars. Twilight: New Moon is released on November 20th and we'll be reviewing the film AND catching up with Pattinson (as well as fellow stars Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner) to find out more about the movie. Also on hand was director Chris Weitz who got his first taste of Twilight madness and spoke to us about it.

Bella Swan is devastated by the abrupt departure of her vampire love, Edward Cullen, but her spirit is rekindled by her growing friendship with Jacob Black. Suddenly she finds herself drawn into the world of the werewolves, ancestral enemies of the vampires, and finds her loyalties testeed.

New Moon is released in UK cinemas November 20th 2009
