It’s not “High School Musical 3.” It’s not the new James Bond flick, “Quantum of Solace,” either. It’s certainly no longer “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.”*
When asked the question “If you could choose only one movie to see in the theater in the next four months, which film would be your first choice?“ “Twilight,” the eagerly anticipated first movie to be adapted from Stephenie Meyer’s blockbuster series turned out, in fact, to be the MOST anticipated movie of the fall, according to a recent poll on movie website Fandango.com.
“Twilight” was voted the number one most anticipated film by 34% of nearly 3,500 respondents, handily beating second place finisher “Quantum of Solace” (20%).
“We are surprised by overwhelming buzz for ‘Twilight’ as the film to beat for the Fall,” Rick Butler, Fandango’s Chief Operating Officer, told MTV News. “Among all upcoming movies, ‘Twilight’ has consistently ranked among our top 3 most requested titles [the other two are ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Watchmen’]. Much of the anticipation has to do with the blockbuster novel, and moviegoers looking for a great fantasy in the fall. It appears to have a wide appeal, as parents are also looking for a film they can enjoy along with their teenagers.”
Butler wasn’t kidding about the wide appeal, as “Twilight” scored big with nearly every demographic in the poll, according to Fandango spokesman Harry Medved.
Interestingly, despite the fact that the novels are often considered strictly young-adult fiction, only 10% of respondents were 17 and younger. A much larger portion, meanwhile - 16%! - was OVER 50. (The largest chunk were between 25-49, a whopping 57%)
Fans can begin to buy tickets for “Twilight” from Fandango as the release date (November 21) nears, hopefully within the next few months, Medved said.
*For the record, “Potter” is already the most anticipated movie of 2009.

Italian movie site, Badtaste.it got a few scans from an Italian movie magazine with some new images from the film including one from the prom scene!
Here is a rough (really rough thank you google translator) translation of what the site had to say including some info on a rumor of a pretty nasty character showing up at the dance,
The Best Movie Italian magazine published pictures you can see below, in an article by five pages dedicated to Twilight.
If you intend to buy the magazine, you can go in that there are some spoiler on the second novel / film, New Moon. The first photos (click on to enlarge) shows Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Bella (Kristen Stewart) in the final scene of the film, the dance school.
The second image instead portrays Charlie (Burke Billy) and Billy (Gil Birmingham).
In stretches are also a rumour: it seems that in the scene of dancing may also appear Victoria, the vampira "bad" in there we have already shown a picture.
Check out the images below (low quality scanned from a magazine) and click through to view the entire posting and larger images over at Badtaste.it!
TWILIGHT is an action-packed, modern day love story between a teen-aged girl who falls in love with a "good" vampire who must protect her from the "bad" vampires while resisting his natural instincts.
BELLA SWAN (Kristen Stewart) has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school. When her mother remarries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn't expect much of anything to change.
Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful EDWARD CULLEN (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she's ever met. Intelligent and witty, he sees straight into her soul. Soon, Bella and Edward are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance.
Edward can run faster than a mountain lion, he can stop a moving car with his bare hands - and he hasn't aged since 1918. Like all vampires, he's immortal. But he doesn't have fangs, and he doesn't drink human blood; Edward and his family are unique among vampires in their lifestyle choice.
To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for - a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. But what will Edward & Bella do when JAMES (Cam Gigandet), LAURENT (Edi Gathegi) and VICTORIA (Rachelle Lefevre), the Cullens' mortal vampire enemies, come to town, looking for her?
