Here are some early photos of the 600 fans starting to line up today for Thursday’s Eclipse premiere at the Nokia Theater for a glimpse of the cast of this 3rd pic in the Twilight Saga: Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Robert Pattinson, Peter Facinelli, Elizabeth Reaser, Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz, Nikki Reed, Jackson Rathbone, Dakota Fanning, Billy Burke, Gil Birmingham, as well as director David Slade, author Stephenie Meyer, and screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg. About 350 Twi-Hards already were cleared through security to camp out at 6 AM PT Thursday in the L.A. Live plaza located outside the Staples Center until the premiere. Yikes! Summit Entertainment will hold events and activities for the fans over the coming days including special appearances by cast members and a live stream of special acoustical performances of acts from the Eclipse soundtrack:

Editor-in-Chief Nikki Finke - tip her here.


don’t eff with fang bangers, just sayin’.
first was ok. second was crap.
get a life fans.
Crass commercialism, Nikki?
I’m in that line too (but in the WA state lineup for Eclipse). They’re everywhere! Lol…long live Twilight!
Ugh, the men in their lives look miserable.
OH WAIT.
This movie is going to be record breaking. I slept on the Twilight phenomenon and was shocked when New Moon made over $700 million dollars. I thought the first one was just a fluke. What other movie premier has people sleeping outside? None. I expect big numbers and have even bet my friends on it. Next week Eclipse will take over theaters and Imax.
There are no words for that.
Sort of a phenom of the post-Simon-Idol era. Folks-in-line become an important aspect of its success-marketing. In the second pic, love the Mom and daughter realizing they only have 275 hours left til the doors open.
loser
Darth Vader is Luke’s father!!! Darth Vader is Luke’s father!!!!
can’t believe any parent would agree to sleeping on the street to see a few actors.
Meanwhile, at Summit HQ…
“Excellent, Smithers.”
I understand they are dedicated fans, but will they still be able to enjoy the movie after spending a week living on the street? I know I wouldn’t be able to.
These people are nerds. I hope they are getting paid for this.
ALL WOMEN????????
shocker. I bet the parking lot was a nightmare… ZING
i love you…
I’m thankful for Twilight. It gives Star Trek nerds something to look down on. It lets guys know that women are as flawed as they are, just differently flawed. And it provides a model for young guys wanting to figure out women: Alpha A-hole.
Plus the massive success of the movie and books puts the lie to feminism. What do women and girls really want? Edward Cullen. Even in fantasy, female audiences and readers will trade independence for the uber-hot dominant guy every time.
Damn I work at a theater in LA, not looking forward to this weekend
“The Phantom Menace” for chicks
So, all the girlfriends/wives are here, while the boyfriends/husbands are in the line for the new iPhone?
This sort of thing is pathetic when boys do it for STAR WARS, and it’s just as pathetic when girls do it for TWILIGHT.
WE HAVE ACHIEVED NERD GENDER EQUALITY.
Okay….I think the movies are entertaining….but come on…..get a life people.
Get a fuckin life!
What an “attractive” bunch.
This is just sad.
I’m sure these ladies will look back at themselves and this movie in a few years and realize how ridiculous it all was.
When is Kristen Stewart going to leave Gersh??
