PopSugar's "Saga's of the Decade"

Twilight, Harry Potter and LOTR Are Sagas We Love

The first Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings both came out at the end of 2001 and easily established their series' place as some of the biggest of all time. Throughout the subsequent installments, box office records were smashed around the world and the awards came rolling in — LOTR even racked up an impressive 17 Oscars between the three films. In 2008, Twilight became the latest book-to-movie saga sensation thanks to the millions of fans and, of course, Robert Pattinson. Twilight and Harry Potter both have movies to come, which means more world domination on the way!

20 Most beutiful people of the decade - Rob & Ashley Featured

ASHLEY GREENE

With five films scheduled to come out in the next year, it’s safe to say that Ashley Greene is riding the momentum from the absurd Twilight wave. The young vampire with the psychic abilities—she also has the power to make girls literally break down in tears in public—has already survived a sex-tape scandal, so that’s out of her teen idol system. But how far into her own future can she see? From where we’re standing, the near-future, at least, looks promising.

ASHLEY GREENE: “I grew up in a house that would be perfect to set a horror movie in. It was out in the country, right on the water. I’m glad I never got to see scary movies when I was young. Otherwise I would have imagined things coming out of the lake.

ROBERT PATTINSON

A bit of Brando, a twinge of Dean, the Twilight star possesses that slightly strange alien quality that turns brooding good looks into the iconic. He has just enough edge to make teens and tabloids go into "crazed hunter" mode—have you seen Robsessed?—but also a disarming, slightly crippling self-awareness. It's early yet for Pattinson, but we're eagerly awaiting part two of his entertaining saga.


On life before Twilight:

"We spent the better part of a year just getting drunk every night... "I don't know if that counts as ‘struggling.'"
