Watch The Pitch Meeting That Led to The Sparkly Vampire Saga, Twilight! [Video]

From Screen Rant:

The Twilight Saga took theatres by storm when it premiered in 2008, with die-hard fans lining up to see Edward Cullen, Bella Swan and Jacob Black do super melodramatic vampire and werewolf stuff on the big screen. Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner will forever be associated with these roles.

The movie definitely raises some questions. Like why are the Cullens even going to high school– isn’t that a terrible way to blend in? What’s up with vampire baseball? What does everybody see in Bella? What’s so romantic about almost puking and awkwardly staring at her? Why is a 100 year old vampire so into a teenage girl? Why is she okay with him watching her sleep every night?!

To answer all these questions and more, step inside the pitch meeting that led to Twilight! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.
