The first seven minutes of the Twilight finale was screened for fans at the Comic-Con convention in San Diego, California on Thursday.

Director Bill Condon thrilled devotees and his stars, who attended a panel discussion at the event, by appearing on a video screen and introducing the opening of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2, which features Kristen Stewart's character Bella Swan learning to live - and hunt - as a vampire, battling a mountain lion over a deer.

Stewart, who joined her castmates at Comic-Con, admits she enjoys meeting real fans at conventions, stating, "The reason I love doing this job is because of that shared energy and this is the most intense version of I'll ever have."

And she insisted the final Twilight film will not be the last time she and boyfriend Robert Pattinson work together again: "We will work together again."
