As Stephenie Meyer unveils 'Midnight Sun', take a look at where the 'Twilight' is cast now

American novelist Stephenie Meyer has officially released Twilight's 2005 companion novel after years of anticipation from fans all over the world. 'Midnight Sun', which became available for purchase on Tuesday, August 4, will be told from character Edward Cullen's viewpoint. And this time around, instead of Bella Swan, Twihards will witness the same activities but through his eye.

Meyer paused on writing the book, Midnight Sun, in 2008 after someone leaked her unfinished manuscript online. The author later published on her website her 12-chapter tease but was not officially continuing to write until years later. The 46-year-old novelist surprised fans when she revealed that the book was complete in May 2020.

During an interview with Good Morning America, Meyer said that it is a crazy time right now and she was not sure if it was the right time to publish the book. She further added that fans have been waiting for a very long time and it did not seem fair to make them wait anymore. In honour of Stephenie Meyer’s Midnight Sun release, here’s taking a look back at the cast of the movie, Twilight, then and now:
