'Twilight' madness in L.A., fans gather for premiere

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A mini-tent city has bloomed outside the Nokia Theatre in downtown Los Angeles to see an "Eclipse."

Hundreds of fans are awaiting Thursday night's red-carpet premiere of "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse," the third installment of the vampire movie series. The movie opens in theaters June 30.

Scripts are in the works for more "Twilight" movies.

About 9,000 wristbands are being handed out to fans, who began erecting tents Monday on concrete steps outside the theater. Nokia officials, who have issued a list of camping rules, say the wristbands must be worn until the premiere is over.

Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner play Bella, Edward and Jacob in "Eclipse," which features Bella preparing for high school graduation and choosing a prom date — vampire Edward or werewolf Jacob.
