ALMOST a quarter of the British population is planning on watching Eclipse, the latest instalment of the Twilight Saga, according to new research from YouGov.

The worldwide box office event has already made $68.5m in the United States in its opening weekend and is expected to do similarly well in the UK.

A total of 22 per cent of Brits said they planned to watch the film which opens in the UK tonight and this increases to 39 per cent of 18-24 year olds.

Eight per cent of Brits say they are planning on watching the third film in Stephanie Meyer’s trilogy at the cinema, whereas 14 per cent say they will hold out for it to be released on DVD.

The consensus among readers is that the novels are the superior offering. Over half (55 per cent) of British adults who have read the books and watched the films claim to prefer the story in book form.

There is also clear ‘support’ for the leading male character, Edward Cullen (played by actor Robert Pattinson), putting an end to the controversial ‘Team Edward’ or ‘Team Jacob’ debate familiar to diehard fans.

Love triangles are the stuff of Hollywood tradition, and the mixed-up relationships between Edward (Robert Pattinson), Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Jacob (Taylor Lautner) are no exception. The “Twilight” trio has fans taking sides, joining Team Edward or Team Jacob to back their favorite guy. The frenzy started when Bella fell head over heels for her vampire classmate Edward. But when he broke her heart, it was werewolf Jacob Black who was there to pick up the pieces.

People.com has 5 Fun Facts on Charlie Bewley:

1. He Doesn’t Get Pattinson’s Appeal
Admitting that he was not a fan of Twilight before joining the cast, Bewley, 29, says that he also didn’t “understand” everyone’s attraction to Robert Pattinson. “I had my acting teacher and all the girls around me just swooning on this English dude in this film,” says Bewley. “I was like, ‘He’s not that good looking. What are you talking about? He is white and he’s got funny hair.’ “

“Robert Pattinson: For the past three years I’ve heard crazy things about you”

Exclusive interview with Franck Ragaine in Los Angeles

It’s in Beverly Hills that a short haired, relaxed, smiling and sometimes amused Robert Pattinson met with us to speak about Eclipse, the third installment in the Twilight Saga, where he again takes the role that made him a star.

Since the beginning you’ve been compared to James Dean, does that flatter you?
I don’t know… In fact I’ve decided to take it as a compliment. But I know that I can never take the place of a James Dean. Further more the world of movies have changed so much, people like James Dean and Marlon Brando don’t exist anymore. At the time their name alone allowed them to have control on a movie. Today that’s not the case!

Aren’t you scared that you’ll be Edward forever?
If I understand correctly I’ll always be compared to someone else. In fact I’ve realized that the quote “The salary of an actor depends on the success of his last movie” is quite true.

Does the fact that you’re pigeon holed into the skin of this character scare you?
This comparison seems to decrease as the films go. Fans don’t see me like that anymore. Contrarily to the first movie they can differentiate my character and me. At the start when I did public appearances, for them I was Edward 100%. I could read it in their eyes. Many lacked control which scared me. Everything has changed and now when I do interviews I am as honest and sincere as possible. I’m not Edward and I make sure it shows.

Besides every thing else you play with medias, like when you recently said that Kristen Stewart (his partner in Twilight) was pregnant.…
The only times I answer like that is to avoid manipulation that medias can sometimes do. If I don’t reply seri­ously, they can’t attack me seriously either. It’s a tactic!

In three years you must have read and heard every thing about yourself?
Incredible things! I’d have slept with so many people and made so many girls pregnant… But after a while, the public doesn’t believe what’s said anymore and they tell themselves that it’s not real. Thankfully!

Do you read fan mail?
Sometimes. I think that certain letters don’t get to me. I’m surprised I haven’t received death threats (smiles).

What is the most indecent proposal you’ve received from a fan?
I will keep that a secret as it was so indecent I doubt she was in her normal state of mind when she made it.

The funniest experience?
It was recently. It happened while I was filming “Water for Elephants in which my partner is Reese Witherspoon. We had a scene with elephants but there were so many paparazzi around that it was scaring the ani­mals and it was impossible to film. Out of the blue, fans, that were wait ing for autographs, had enough and circled around the paparazzi. Teens made big guys run away. It was unreal! I was pleased.

In Eclipse you play Edward for the third time. Do you fear you’ll repeat yourself?
The more I become familiar with the role, the more I try to do new things and take risks. You can’t be scared to go on unknown areas. The prob lem with Edward is that he doesn’t age, there fore it doesn’t make the task easy. Because for a human being grow ing older brings on many possibilities.

But the relation ship between him and Bella changed in this third installment?
During the first two movies, his only worry was if he wanted to make a life with her. Now that he’s made the decision to marry her, there fore accepting a life in a more human form, it changes everything. He must face the world of the living more than the immortal one. It adds a complexity that’s interesting to play.

With the salaries you get did you do crazy things like buy the car of your dreams?
No, I don’t have a passion for car, I don’t see the point in spending my money on a car. Even clothes, I don’t care much, I wear the same things all the time. But I did buy myself a few guitars.

“Twilight” star Robert Pattinson is top of the snogs – after being named as the star whose wax likeness landed the highest number of kisses.

His figure at London tourist attraction Madame Tussauds has been identified as the most kissed by visitors over the past year.

Vampire movie actor Pattinson beat second-placed Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe in the list to mark Tuesday’s National Kissing Day.

The top female star was named as Dame Helen Mirren, while a surprise fourth-place entry was Mayor of London Boris Johnson.

Staff at Tussauds compiled the list from their own observations as fans pounced on the models and also from maintenance records – to see which figures needed to be cleaned most often.

Guests often plant a peck on Pattinson’s cheeks as they post for photos, they said.

Spokeswoman Liz Edwards said: “A lot of puckering up goes on here at Madame Tussauds London and our studios team are on a constant clean-up mission where some celebrities are concerned.

“Robert Pattinson has been an instant hit with the ladies since he joined the attraction in March and Daniel Radcliffe has attracted more and more attention from female fans as Harry Potter fever starts to build up in the run-up to the final film release.
