The upcoming vampire movie Twilight, based on the successful series of young adult books by Stephanie Meyer, now has a glitzy new trailer. The big-budget production about human-vampire teen lovers stars Kristen Stewart (The Messengers) and is directed by Catherine Hardwick, who's already gotten in touch with her inner teen helming Thirteen and Lords of Dogtown. With a screenplay written by Melissa Rosenberg (Dexter...Let's overlook the fact that she also wrote Step Up.), Twilight is that rare blockbuster that stars a woman, is directed by a woman, has a screenplay written by a woman and is based on a novel written by a woman. It's ladies' twilight!

I haven't read any of the books (three so far, with the fourth coming in August), but I imagine that Twilight is expected to do much better than last year's similarly themed star-crossed werewolf book-turned-movie Blood and Chocolate. We'll see when it opens December 12, 2008.
