The nation’s No. 1 motion picture will come to life in Dallas next summer, as five stars of the film “Twilight” have now confirmed their attendance at the US’s largest fan convention dedicated to the Stephenie Meyer’s series of books by the same name.  
Peter Facinelli – starring as Dr. Carlisle Cullen in the fall blockbuster; and Jackson Rathbone – who portrays Jasper Hale– will join Kellan Lutz (Emmett Cullen), Ashley Greene (Alice Cullen) and Mike Welch (Mike Newton) at TwiCon ’09 — which will be held July 30-Aug. 2, 2009 at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel and Convention Center.  TwiCon managing partner Becky Scoggins already predicts more cast to appear. 

Organizers of TwiCon have also announced that 250 of the more than 2,500 registrants expected to attend may participate in an exclusive meet and greet with the special guests. These coveted spots are available to those who have fully paid their $255 fee for the four-day convention. 

TwiCon’s meet and greet event during the conference is completely full!  We are thrilled to see such excitement from the fans about meeting our special guests and the cast from Twilight.  If you weren’t able to sign up for the meet and greet event, don’t fret!  There will be a plethora of opportunities to meet and rub elbows with the cast and our other guests, including autographing and professional photo opportunities as well as an exclusive Q&A panel open to all of our attendees!  More details about these opportunities will be posted on TwiCon’s website soon, so keep checking in!
