Twilight

Twilight, a forbidden love story between a gorgeous vampire and a plain human girl, could rival the tickets sales and fan mania last seen during the Leo and Kate days of Titanic. With a fan base already built from the book trilogy, The Twilight Saga, (it has sold over 25 million copies worldwide) the nervous, hormonal teenage energy anticipating the film alone, if properly harnessed, could solve our energy crisis.

He's already the favorite bad-boy jock in CW's reboot of 90210, so it's no wonder Kellan Lutz is ready for another set of extreme fan expectations when the book series Twilight hits the big screen on Friday.
