Only four months after Twilight captivated film fans, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are already hard at work filming the sequel.
The young actors were catapulted to international fame last year when they were plucked from obscurity to play vampire Edward Cullen and his human girlfriend Bella Swan in the vampire romance film.
Fresh from the glow of their international success, the cast and crew behind Twilight have reunited for the next installment in the series, New Moon.

Moving on from the Twilight movie, which saw newcomer Bella adjust to life in Forks, Washington and falling in love with vampire Edward, the couple find their relationship threatened by his vampirism.
Pattinson, Stewart and their co-stars Taylor Lautner, Mike Welch, Christian Serratos, Anna Kendrick and Justin Chon have relocated to Vancouver, Canada for filming, which started earlier this month.
In one scene filmed yesterday in a high school parking lot, it appears Pattinson and Stewart are creating the scene from the book which sees Edward break up with Bella over his fears his vampirism will kill her.

In the film, Bella's life hangs in the balance when she is attacked by a vampire named Victoria, from the rival vampire coven and is seeking revenge for her partner James's death in the Twilight film.
Fans of the book will already know if Edward comes back to save Bella and resumes their relationship, but film audiences will have to wait until November when New Moon hits cinemas.
Meanwhile, the cast took time out of filming last week to celebrate Stewart's 19th birthday.
