Twilight: The Complete Illustrated Movie Companion (Mark Cotta Vaz)

* Explore the making of the film Twilight, the story that has entranced millions of readers, with this ultimate visual companion. This beautiful book captures the onscreen creation of Meyer's breathtaking world, brought to life in film by award-winning director Catherine Hardwicke and her creative team. With never-before-seen images, exclusive interviews, and personal stories, renowned author Mark Cotta Vaz takes you behind the scenes with the director, producers, and set designers to intimately experience the creation of the film. Inside you'll discover details like the Cullen family crest, secrets behind some of the film's most dramatic scenes, and learn just how a vampire sparkles in the sun.

This book is a must-have for every Twilight fan out there. I am not exactly a book-turned-into-movie fan but I love Twilight (the first book). So I'm definitely looking forward to the film. Besides, Robert Pattinson is hot. :D

There's nothing much I could say about the book. I guess I focused more on the pictures than on the text. Hahaha. But seriously, the book shared a lot of information on the hard work and experiences of the film crew. Filming Twilight was really difficult. They experienced different kinds of weather conditions. Their worst experiences in making the movie were all because of the weather. But they did their best to make the fans happy.

Catherine said she tried to stay faithful to the book as much as possible. Hopefully they did because just thinking about the film's upcoming release makes me hyperventilate with excitement (if there's such a thing). Anyway, here are some of the pictures from the book.

Sigh...
