Happy Birthday, Twilight! The movie that kicked off a franchise and a few major careers first hit theatres on November 21, 2008. The film was directed by Catherine Hardwicke and starred Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, who both have some exciting projects in the works. You can check out Stewart in the highly-anticipated rom-com, Happiest Season, on Hulu next week and Pattinson has been making headlines for starring in The Batman, which is now scheduled to be released in March of 2022. In fact, the movie’s trailer recently sparked some comparisons to Twilight. In honor of Twilight‘s 12th anniversary (dang, we feel old) many fans of the film have taken to social media to honor its special day.

Proud Twihard
On 11/21/08 our lives changed forever when Twilight hit theatres. A cinematic masterpiece. Nothing compares. Iconic. Bold. Blue. 12 years later and everyone is where they’re meant to be: Kristen Stewart playing the lead in a gay rom-com and Robert Pattinson is Batman. pic.twitter.com/qVkjMNck3w
