New Zealand fans of the Twilight book and film series are about to go into excitement overdrive.
New Moon, the second film in the vampire series, opens across New Zealand overnight.
The Twilight saga has a cult following and New Moon is expected to be one of the highest grossing films of all time.
Fans lined the streets of the world premiere in Los Angeles , all wanting a glimpse of their favourite vampire, werewolf and the girl who must choose between them.
"At some point the security guy said 'this is very unsafe' and I was like 'uhh'," Kristen Stewart, who plays Bella Swan says.
Taylor Lautner, who plays Jacob Black, says he was blown away with the fans at the premiere.
"We continue to be surprised, I mean this amount of passion from fans, it's not normal," he says.
The premiere in LA comes at the end of a whirlwind international press tour for the movie's stars.
"It's been unbelievable in every single city, about 10 times bigger in every other city in the world," says Robert Pattinson, who plays vampire Edward Cullen.
"We just came out of Munich with 20,000 people in the Olympic stadium, I mean its unbelievable."
The movie has become one of the biggest advanced ticket sellers ever.
It opens at theatres at one minute past midnight and many sessions are sold out.
Twilight fans won't need to wait long for their next Twilight fix, the third movie is due out in June 2010.
tvnz.co.nz movie reviewer Darren Bevan is heading along to the NZ Premiere Event of New Moon this evening. Check out his review online at tvnz.co.nz from around 11pm.

I am a Twilight Addict for sure! I am Team Jakeward all the way, lol. I reckon Eclipse should be the best version of all for movies... but the books kick butt much more! But if you've read the books, I don't think it matters at all whether this one will live up to expectations, cause the stories have already captured our hearts!

Well what can I say, I am a total Twilight addict! I love the two films so far- but love the books a whole lot more! They NEED to make Breaking Dawn into 2 films. There are just sooo many amazing parts to it that so many [important] things will end up getting missed out! It is kinda essential that it's made into two films! Please, make two films!

I ahve to say that Jacob is who I would go with because of his looks but he hasn't got the personality that Edward has. If I were Bella and Jacob had the personality of Edward you would have the best guy in the world!!
