Fans went wild for Twilight stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson at the film's U.K. premiere on Dec. 2.

London native Pattinson, 22, and Californian Kristen, 18, were besieged by hundreds of screaming fans at the European premiere of the vampire romance, which has been on fire at the U.S. box office.

To date, Twilight (which opened Nov. 21) has grossed $144 million worldwide. Remarkably, the film only cost $37 million to produce--making it a cinematic rainmaker for its indie studio, Summit Entertainment.

In keeping with the film's Gothic theme, Robert looked dapper in a slim-fitted black suit, while Kristen sizzled in a dark mini-dress. Stewart says casting the hunky 6'1" Pattinson as the brooding Ed Cullen was a stroke of genius.

"Not to put down any of the other actors who came in [to audition], because they were really good, but everyone came in playing Edward as this perfect, happy-go-lucky guy," says Kristen. "But I got hardcore pain from Rob. It was purely just connection.” robert pattinson kristen

Pattinson is best known for his role as Cedric Diggory in the 2005 Harry Potter film Goblet of Fire, while Kristen played Jodie Foster's daughter in the 2002 thriller Panic Room and the snooty sister in the 2005 space adventure Zathura.

Twilight, which was adapted from 34-year-old Stephenie Meyer's 2005 novel, is about the enduring romance between a human teen, Bella Swan (Kristen) and a 108-year-old vampire, Edward Cullen (Robert).

Meyer's Twilight books, which have sold some 25 million copies worldwide, have been translated into 37 languages. Thanks to the film's huge box-office success, Stewart and Pattinson will reprise their roles as Edward and Bella in the highly anticipated sequel, New Moon.
