Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school. When her mother re-marries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn't expect much of anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she's ever met.

Soon, they are swept up in a passionate, thrilling and unorthodox romance. To Edward, Bella is what he has waited 90 years for, a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. But what will Edward & Bella do when a clan of new vampires come to town and threaten to disrupt their way of life?

Sci Fi Channel is giving itself a makeover. The NBC owned cable network will change its name to Syfy in the summer. And yes, despite the goofy spelling, it will sound phonetically the same. The reasons for the name change are twofold. Firstly, it allows the network to demonstrate that it should not be so narrowly defined. Already the Sci Fi channel has been known to program content that isn't strictly science fiction proper such as fantasy, paranormal, mystery, action and adventure. The new Syfy will continue with this diverse programming.
