It’s not another 96 hours, give or take a few, until the third and latest installment of “The Twilight Saga,” “Eclipse,” premieres in Los Angeles, but fans are already gathered in the thousands outside the theater. Not only that, but they have also come equipped for the long wait: sleeping bags, tents and, of course, all Twilight-related material, People informs.

According to the magazine, things are already pretty crazy outside the Los Angeles movie theater where “Eclipse” will premiere. Fans are undoubtedly hoping that, by camping outside, they will be the first in the line when it comes to seeing the much-hyped film, while also having a real chance of seeing and perhaps even getting an autograph from their idols. Since Monday morning, the number of Twi-hards has continued to increase and this could actually turn into a situation.

“What would you do for a chance to get a glimpse of Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner? For thousands of Twi-Hards, just the possibility of seeing their favorite stars meant rushing to line up for the premiere of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse – more than four days before the stars are even scheduled to walk the red carpet,” People magazine writes. More are expected to come, which means security will eventually have to be beefed up, the report further says.

“On Monday morning, fans began setting up tents at the Nokia Plaza L.A. Live, where the premiere will take place Thursday night, in hopes of securing a wristband that will give them access to the fan viewing area. But they shouldn’t get too comfortable in their camping grounds. Security will be relocating fans Wednesday to allow the studio to set up the premiere, then will have them line up in sequential wristband order starting Thursday afternoon,” People explains.

The entire cast of “Twilight” will be attending the premiere, as expected. Until now, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson have rarely been seen together on the red carpet, as Stewart and Lautner have been doing most of the promotion themselves, as RPattz is working on a new movie.
