In case you have been hiding under a rock or locked away in a crypt and have not heard about the Twilight craze, you have less than a week to get on the bandwagon as Edward and Bella make their big screen debut on November 21, 2008. Check out the official website to see the trailer, purchase your tickets in advance and find out other juicy tidbits about the movie - and be glad that you don't live in Switzerland which won't get to see the movie until January 22, 2009!
