PATTINSON CONFIRMS TWILIGHT SEQUEL

British actor ROB PATTINSON has confirmed there will be a sequel to vampire love story TWILIGHT - and he will star in the epic.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart at Los Angeles Premiere of 'Twilight' held at Mann Village Theater - arrivals, Los Angeles, California - 171108

The movie adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's cult book became an overnight sensation and took $7 million (GBP4.6 million) from midnight screenings in the U.S. on Thursday (20Nov08) alone.

And producers want to capitalise on the success, by turning Meyer's second book, New Moon, into a follow-up film.

In an email to fans, Pattinson and co-star Kristen Stewart thank fans for backing the movie. They write: "To all of our wonderful, loyal and fantastic fans - Thank you from the entire cast + crew for your amazing support of Twilight.

"You've blown away all of our expectations, and we feel so honored to have made a film that means as much to you as it does to us. Without your passion, interaction and support, this film would not be where it is today - the #1 movie in America!

"From every city, every stop, every interview we have done, you've made this an unbelievable, nearly surreal experience…and so cool that we were all in this together.

"We just heard from Summit that we'll be moving forward on New Moon. We look forward to sharing this next chapter with you! Kristen + Rob."
