Customer Reviews

The Magical World of Twilight
Catherine Hardwike the director from Twilight has made this stunning book. the pictures and drawings are amazing. especially as they are drawn by Catherine's sister or herself. she captures the world of Twilight from the book by Stephanie Meyer very well down to the last detail even if she digitalised some scenes for effect. for example the glowing of Edward's face in the meadow done by ILM.

the book describes shooting some scenes from the move. the costumes and ideas. and that some members of the cast had to wear contacts and dye thier hair to create Meyer's world. it will be sad that Catherine has decided not to carry on directing the other movies in the saga.but this is a must for all twlilight fans.

Catherine Hardwicke's directors notes
This is an awesome book for anyone who loved the film and wants to know more about the making of it.
The amount of detail in it is good (there could be so much more though) the photos are mostly awesome- some not seen before and the drawings for the story boards are beautiful.
A good price for the amount of information you get to consume.
