Team Robbed vs. Team They Should Understand....

Twilight fans have warned the main three characters of the movie saga not to shun a UK premiere again.

No official reason was given as to why Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner did not attend.

However, it is thought Robert is filming in LA and was unable to break his schedule.

Fans at the premiere told Newsbeat that hundreds more would have camped out and attended if the three main stars had come along.

The stars that did attend included Xavier Samuel, who plays newborn vampire Riley, as well as Kellan Lutz who is one of the Cullen family members.

Also there was Ashley Greene who plays Alice Cullen, Edward's sister.

'Completely shocked'

She said: "You know what, because we have so many fans in so many places they've had to split us up across the world and so, unfortunately we can't all make it to everything.

"But they seem pretty excited, the fans, so that's a good sign."

While Nikki Reed who plays Rosalie Hale was pleased with the turnout: "I'm feeling great. I'm completely shocked. I had no idea.

"This feels just as big as the LA premiere. I'm surprised so many people turned up and Rob isn't here.

"I know Rob would have loved to have been here, but he's shooting a movie in LA and I don't think he was allowed to come."

Twilight fan Alison, 20, admitted that Robert's absence was a bit of a let down. She said: "I'm disappointed, but I think the cast is so big, they've got so many of them coming it's going to be fantastic regardless.

"We should be prioritised though to be honest. At the end of the day Edward is British. Robert Pattinson's British, he should be here."

Some fans had even camped in London's Leicester Square, staying for more than 30 hours, to make sure they got a good spot along the barriers to see their favourite cast members.

Seventeen-year-old Ben had travelled down from Newcastle and said he was secretly pleased the top stars hadn't come.

"I am very disappointed. It would have been nice to see them. But I'm also glad because there would have been millions of other people here and we wouldn't have got such a good spot."

Comment by Aidinslevel on July 2, 2010 at 2:17pm: I would lurv to hear from both sides, but you make very valid points Emma.

Comment by Mannefik on July 2, 2010 at 2:22pm: Something that I find weird, is that Eclipse (and I guess the rest of the Twilight films), didn't premiere on the same date as in USA, and as in my country Sweden. Why must the British people wait longer than, for example, the US people?

Comment by Sarah Anaya aka Cookie Monster ! on July 2, 2010 at 2:27pm: Your right Emma.. they knew rob , taylor and kristing wouldnt be there yet they camped out anyways .. Dont go and complain if ur there , you look like an ass on top of that it's rude to the stars of the film that did come .. its like ur saying " oh hey your not the ones i wanted to see , i guess ill still stay " wtf , get over it , taylor and kristing are probably burnt out from having to do all the promotion around the world and rob DID have to work, he has a valid excuse

Comment by Ilse Gomez on July 2, 2010 at 2:32pm: Yeah I kind of agree with Emma I mean here in Mexico they didn't even come, or it was mentioned, so at least you got some of the cast, and well of course you wanted Rob, Kristen, or Taylor there hey some of us aren't even gonna get a single member of the cast.

Comment by Aimzers on July 2, 2010 at 2:35pm: This article really really annoyed me too Emma. Do they know how many different countries Eclipse is playing in around the world?! Those three are NOT machines and can NOT be in every freakin place just bc it is opening there! I mean, god, chill the hell out and be happy with what you get! I would DIE to meet Ashley, Kellan and the rest... and Im from the US but live on the East Coast so chances are, Ill never get to see them...

Yeah, that is complete b*******. That picture! Ugh!

Comment by Mrs_R_Pattz on July 2, 2010 at 2:44pm: Ok i am from the UK and no i could not make it to the priemiere we all knew in advanced that they was not going to be there so i am sorry but this makes the UK fans look ungreatful and gives us all a bad name. They all have different things going on and like Ashley said they can all be everywhere. What about the countries that dont get a premiere do u hear them moaning about it all NO!
I just wish people would be happy that they have seen some of the stars from the films.
Grow u and enjoy it stop moaning about it and as a UK Twi Hard/Twi Mum this really annoys me

Comment by Kim on July 2, 2010 at 2:46pm: I agree with Emma totally!

Comment by imaGINAtion on July 2, 2010 at 2:53pm: Gosh, the four in the picture above don't look like fans, they look like "newborns" ready to attack!!...WTH??!!!

Comment by Yolee on July 2, 2010 at 3:02pm: Whoa! Wait a sec, did someone in this article say that Edward is British?!? Hello? To my knowledge Edward Anthony Masen was born in CHICAGO, IL on June 20, 1901. Robert Pattinson on the other hand is British... We getting fictional characters confused with real people here, LOL!!! Or am I wrong? Please correct me if I am. It's been awhile since I've read the original Twilight book.
