Entertainment Weekly cover with The Twilight Saga

July 18, 2008 issue of Entertainment Weekly featuring the Twilight Saga. Shown on the cover are Robert Pattison (Edward) and Kristen Stewart (Bela).

It really shows the popularity of these books when EW runs a cover featuring the upcoming film 6 months in advance of it's release. That this cover was run in the middle of the summer movie blockbuster season makes it even more impressive. This issue not only covered the movie, but had extensive information on the Twilight book series and author Stephenie Meyer. The timing coincides with the release on August 2, 2008 of the latest Twilight novel "Breaking Dawn".
