The romantic fantasy film, “Twilight,” first hit the screens in 2008, easily becoming a top pick among the American audience and the world at large. With its success in the box office, the teenage drama marked the big break for the majority of “Twilight” casts, who, twelve years later, are basking in the stardom.

Director Catherine Hardwicke sold the world what could undoubtedly pass for the greatest vampire-werewolf story ever told in 2008. Featuring Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, the love story of Bella and Edward grossed impressively in the box office. Thanks to its success, four other releases followed, making the film into a saga.

Twelve years after its release, the “Twilight” series, based on the 2005 novel by Stephenie Meyers, remains a fan-favorite fantasy drama. Along with its success, all the movie’s casts also attained fame and affluence in their own rights.

Notably, Kristen landed major roles in iconic dramas like “Snow White And Huntsman,” and 2019s “Charlie’s Angels.” Meanwhile, her on-and-off-screen love interest, Pattinson became one of the highest-paid actors in the world, with several award-winning roles.

Watching the duo of Stewart and Pattinson rise in the movie industry surrounded by their relationship scandals and major criticisms makes one wonder what the rest of the “Twilight” casts have been up to. Here’s a pointer.

KRISTEN STEWART

Kristen Stewart began her rise to fame as a child actress, playing her first notable role in “Panic Room,” 2002. She snagged other parts in “Zathura,” 2005, “Into The Wild,” and “In The Land of Women” 2007, making her a notable star at eighteen. Landing a part in 2008s “Twilight,” and the follow-up sequels further established her as one of the most sought-after actresses.

Following her gross success in the “Twilight” series, starring as Bella Swan, she went on to snag lead roles in “Snowman And Huntsman,” “Still Alice,” “Clouds Of Sils Maria,” “Charlie’s Angels” and 2020’s “Underwater.”

Additionally, she sustained a brief romance with her “Twilight” co-star and love interest, Robert Pattinson. However, their relationship ended on a bad note following a cheating scandal. Kristen Stewart now focuses on growing her career and has since done an excellent job at it at only thirty.
