Twilight New Moon cast in Munich, Germany

The countdown is on, as one of the biggest movies of the year gets ready to hit our screens. New Moon, which is the second film in the Twilight series, is released on the 20th of November and already anxious fans are counting down the days to its screening. A certain box office smash, the main cast of the multi-million dollar movie arrived on their Munich leg of their promotional tour and were greeted by thousands of screaming fans who came with homemade placards and t-shirts. The film's director Chris Weitz was joined by the three young stars of the movie, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner as fans queued up trying to get a glimpse of their idols. The first Twilight movie was a smash hit that grossed $383 million worldwide. Already, the successful franchise is drawing comparisons with the Harry Potter phenomenon. The film's latest heartthrob, Lautner, who plays a Werewolf claims the biggest change fame has brought has been to his schedule saying: "Honestly, the way my life has changed most is my schedule, we've all been very, very busy, we have spent six out of the past eight months filming these movies in Vancouver and the day they wrapped we left for the international press tour."
