Finally! After building up steam for months, the supernatural circus train that is “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” pulled into the station with the movie’s premiere Thursday night at L.A. Live, reuniting Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and the rest of the cast amid throngs of screaming fans.

Twi-hards who’d been camping out for days lined the red carpet -- OK, it was a black carpet, matching the campers’ wristbands -- along with media types from all over the world.

Hot topics on the carpet: Love and mad appreciation for the fans, and lots of war stories from the six weeks of fight training and physical conditioning the actors had to go through as part of the production.

Celebs on the carpet but not in the film included Jennifer Love Hewitt, Alex Rodriguez, Kristi Yamaguchi, Ron Artest, Quinton Aaron, Amber Rose, Jaden Smith and sisters Kourtney Kardashian and Kim Kardashian.

Also on the scene: “Twilight” author Stephenie Meyer and screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg, representing the more literary aspects of the franchise, and actresses Annalynne McCord and Jennie Garth, accompanying Cullen family members Kellen Lutz and Peter Facinelli, respectively.
