Based on Stephanie Meyer's New York Times best-selling novels and spawning a world-wide phenomenon, the Twilight Saga—chosen by students and presented here in their extended editions—adds a dangerous twist to the classic story of star-crossed lovers. This is the marathon of killers, Bella Loca! One $20 ticket gets you access to 11 1/2 hours of eternal teenagers, vampires, wolves, one of the most epic baseball games ever filmed, and a truly glittering cinematic experience. Ticketholders can come and go as they please during the marathon, plus snacks, drinks in resealable/enclosed containers (there are no cupholders in the Cinema!), and finger foods that do not emit a strong odor will be allowed for this special event. Alcohol, cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, and illicit drugs are prohibited at IU Cinema.

When new transfer student Bella Swan meets the mysterious Edward Cullen, the two experience a profound attraction to one another that soon turns both of their lives upside down. After Bella discovers that Edward is a vampire, a forbidden secret that puts her life and the lives of her loved ones in grave danger, the couple must overcome multiple challenges in order to preserve their love. [126 min; drama, fantasy, romance; English]

"Hardwicke has connected so intensely to the Meyer novel that it's hard to imagine anyone else making a better version." — Kenneth Turan, L.A. Times

"Hardwicke still manages to find the sweet spot where Gothic literature and the iPod meet and make goo-goo eyes at each other. Without embarrassment, she and screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg dig right into the almost generic simplicity of the story." — Stephanie Zacharek, Salon

"Twilight is an earnest fantasy set on the cusp of adulthood, just as the way the light falls on everything in your life is changing. I don't blame anyone who wants to linger there for a moment. Even with sparkle vampires." — Bryant Frazer, Film Freak Central
