The Twilight saga will be adapted into a TV series and will be developed by Lionsgate Television
The premiere of the Twilight saga in theaters was held in 2008 through the film of the same title, which was released under the direction of Catherine Hardwickewhere the characters created by Stephenie Meyer in books could for the first time be lived in skin and bones by actors like Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson It is taylor lautner.
An absolute success, the film franchise grossed more than $ 3.4 billion at the box office around the globe until it came to an end in 2012 with the release of “Breaking Dawn Part 2” — even though this was not the end of the story that addresses the mysterious romance starring Bella Swan and Edward Cullen.
That’s because, just over ten years after the release of the last film in the saga on the big screen, The Hollywood Reporter exclusively confirmed in April 2023 that the plot ofMeyer will receive a new adaptation, but now, fans will follow the story on a smaller screen, as the work will become a TV series.
The new production is in the early stages of development by Lionsgate Television and there is still no confirmation whether it will be a remake of Meyer’s books or a different branch wrapped in the same universe as the saga. Furthermore, the author must be involved in the adaptation, as revealed by a source to THR.
Furthermore, Wyck Godfrey and former co-chairman of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, Erik Feigwho during his tenure at Summit Entertainment bought the rights to the Twilight book series will produce the small screen version.
Given the context, the director of the first film in the Twilight franchise shared her opinion about the new adaptation in an interview with Movie Web (via OTEMPO), supporting the idea and defending that the plot is somehow timeless and can conquer new generations:
“I think it’s exciting, I think we see that it’s an enduring story that people continue to engage with, you know, the TikTok world loves it, the internet generations, everybody keeps discovering it. [essa história]. I was talking to a girl the other day, she was born the year we made the first Twilight movie, and she was very passionate about it,” Hardwicke said.
In the same chat, she still left some advice for the directors of the reboot: “So I think that, in the first film, we were able to keep it a little more realistic, just a little bit. You feel like there’s some kind of reality to it, and you really feel the connection between Bella and Edward. So that might be a fun way to think about it, but also the chemistry between Edward and Bella is really important.”
