The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 Premieres in L.A.

Twi-hards have been chomping at the bit for this week to finally come, and tonight (November 14) the cast of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1" descended on Los Angeles.

Fans squealed as Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner made their way to the Nokia Theatre LA Live for the big Los Angeles premiere.

Also in the house were franchise favorites like Ashley Greene, Nikki Reed, and Kellan Lutz, all looking excited to be so warmly welcomed by fans and press.

Additionally, Peter Facinelli, Jackson Rathbone, Booboo Stewart, Charlie Bewley, and Julia Jones came out to join in the fun.

As for the cast's fellow Tinseltown stars turning up to watch the magical motion picture be unveiled, celeb sightings included Ashley Tisdale, Cassie Scerbo, Willow Smith, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Bella Thorne, Cody Simpson, Bruno Mars, Dania Ramirez, Kylie and Jendall Jenner and Heather Locklear.

As the leading lady of "Breaking Dawn Part 1" as well as the other Twilight movies, Kristen Stewart recently said she couldn't wait to play the vampire version of her character, Bella. 

"I've been waiting. To see her thrive anytime, it's - she's always so full of something that she knows, and it's like, at this point, you finally go, 'Oh, she was right,' and she can also go, 'OK, great, I'm not crazy, this was supposed to happen.'"

"The whole vampire thing, I wasn't excited to be white and all that; I was really more excited to finally get her there, because she wants it so bad." 

And as the fourth "Twilight" movie is unleashed on the world, Taylor Lautner noted that he's enjoyed watching his character Jacob evolve.

"I was really excited about this one because Jacob becomes a man in this one and he has to make a lot decisions. He's being torn between his two families. It was really tough, it was by far the most challenging one for me, but I didn't know what to think going into it. As soon as we sat down -- the three of us sat down with Bill -- we just dove right into it and we talked about the characters. I really can say that I couldn't have done it without Bill's help. He was absolutely amazing and talking to us all the time. I trusted him completely, and it was really special. And now seeing the movie, I'm really happy Jacob starts here and he ends here, and it's just very exciting to see him in a completely different light than ever before." 

Less than a week away, "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1" is scheduled to hit theaters nationwide this Friday, November 18th.
