Fans across the country have been struck with Vampire Fever. The new movie Twilight, stars Nikki Reed, the young starlet of “Lords of Dogtown” and “Thirteen.” It is reported that they shot the film in my hometown Portland, Oregon.

Here is an excerpt from the MTV interview:

At first glance, Nikki Reed and Rosalie Hale seem to have a lot in common. But when we visited the set of “Twilight” and caught up with the most well-known actor in the up-and-coming cast, the amiable 20-year-old was quick to point out where the bloodsucking stops and the flesh-and-blood begins. In a candid conversation about her fears, love and longtime friendship with “Twilight” director Catherine Hardwicke, Reed reminded MTV News about the acting talent behind the highly anticipated December flick. (By the way, Twilighters, author Stephenie Meyer has a special request for you over at the MTV Movies Blog.)

MTV: What themes have they tapped into in the love story?

Reed: Well, it’s a completely unrealistic, yet completely relatable situation. Because that’s what people want in life, is to be loved unconditionally. At the end of the day, that’s our sole purpose and our sole reason for existing, is to love somebody else. … What Bella and Edward have is that, unperfected. With all the flaws they have, it’s completely flawless. With all the obstacles — he being a vampire and she’s a human — it’s like their connection is undeniable. There’s a lot of expectations, and there’s a lot of pressure on Kristen and Rob, but I think they’re doing a fantastic job.

Over 3 million units of Stephanie Meyer’s latest book has been shipped to bookstores. The new book, Breaking Dawn, will be released on August 2nd. For more information, check out Stephanie’s official website here.
