Ten movies will be released this year featuring cast members of Twilight. Like other teen movies that launched Hollywood careers such as American Grafitti and Dazed and Confused, Twilight hopes to catapualt another set of teen stars to success.

2009 is a big year for the cast, featuring a mix of films they shot before “Twilight” took off and a few others offered to them once the buzz began. Several stars have chosen to go the horror route, while a few others have opted for loftier art flicks that will debut in a few weeks at Sundance — and at least one “Twilight” star will soon be seen shimmying around a stripper pole. So, without further ado, we offer this countdown of the 10 Most Eagerly Anticipated 2009 Films From the “Twilight” Stars.

1. “New Moon”
It’s got a new director, a super-fast turnaround time, and several key casting decisions yet to be made. But, to borrow a phrase from Eric Yorkie: Chillax! Stephenie Meyer has already given her thumbs-up to the sequel, scripted by returning screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg, and everybody from Rob and Kristen to Kellan Lutz, Ashley Greene and Peter Facinelli are in like Flynn. Not only is the November 20 release a no-brainer for the most anticipated “Twilight”-related movie of 2009, but to millions of die-hard fans, it’s the single most anticipated flick of the year. Better keep those Tuesdays open, folks.

See the rest of the ten movies after the jump.
