"Hi Shibsy,

Sorry – can’t say we have any information as of yet about what the changing US release date will mean for the UK and Ireland!

Best wishes,

Sam"

 So that's it, not even the people at the UK Stephenie Meyer site have info about it. If anyone knows anything officially about the release dates, send me an email at twilight.ireland@gmail.com .

Also, this was on Stephenie Meyer's MySpace blog:

Just a few things about the new release Nov. 21st release date for Twilight:

1) I have no idea how this affects international release dates. I’m not exactly in the loop on those kinds of things. Hopefully that information will be available soon. I’ll see what I can find out…

2) I’m really, really sorry for any inconvenience the new schedule is causing people. I feel your pain. Let’s just say that my Thanksgiving plans are going through a major overhaul, too.

3) Looking on the bright side, this new release date means that Twilight will get to be on more screens–a lot more. That might mean a shorter drive for some people.

Stephenie

So us fans have to remain clueless about the movie release date outside of the U.S. Any news will be posted here straight away though.

I've received a few questions about the Twilight movie release date, since it has been changed from the 12.12.08 to the 21.11.08 in the U.S.

I should have the answer regarding any changes to the release date here soon. Expect an update no later than tomorrow.
