The story of Bella and Edward will be filmed by Lionsgate Television.
In Hollywood came the era of remakes and remakes of movies based on the more popular series format. Now the popular “Twilight” will also become a television epic. Lionsgate Television will produce the series based on the novels by author Stephenie Meyer. Work on the project has already begun, but so far it is at an early stage and it is still unknown who will play Bella and Edward Cullen. The Hollywood Reporter writes about it.
In addition, the new series does not have a scriptwriter yet. Wyck Godfrey and Eric Feig, former co-chairman of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, have been identified as executive producers for the new version.
While at Summit Entertainment, Feig famously acquired the rights to the Twilight book series after being rejected by Paramount Pictures. And it was a very good decision.
Five films have been released, grossing over $3.4 billion at the worldwide box office.
“Twilight” established itself as a popular culture phenomenon.
In 2020, writer Stephenie Meyer admitted in an interview that while she was glad her novels had become popular, she couldn’t understand why.
He admitted that he expected only his family to read the love story between Bella Swan and vampire Edward Cullen, and that they would do it “out of pity”.
When asked if she expected popularity, Stephanie replied, “Absolutely not and never.”
“I didn’t think anyone other than my immediate family would read Twilight, and I guessed they would read it because they were pitying. I still don’t believe in this phenomenon. It seems like I don’t have such a thing,” he said. It is already known that he will take part in the production of the series.
Before Lionsgate Television studio shoots Mayer’s books, let’s remind: five feature films were released from 2008 to 2012. Starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. It is noteworthy that in the role of Edward Cullen, Stephanie herself wanted to see Henry Cavill, but when the shooting began, she was already 25 years old and could not play the role of a 17-year-old boy.
The plot of the books written by Stephenie Meyer is the story of 17-year-old Bella Swan, who moves in with her father in the town of Forks and meets a handsome young man named Edward. After She saves him several times, she realizes that she has supernatural powers. And later it turned out that he is a vampire, but his family refused to drink people’s blood.
Taylor Lautner plays werewolf Jacob Black, who falls in love with Bella. But unlike Stewart and Pattinson, whose role in “Twilight” was a turning point for them, Lautner’s film career was not very successful. He did not receive any lucrative offers, and film critics did not rate his game very high.
He married his girlfriend, Taylor Dome, last year. In an interview with Kelly Clarkson, Taylor Lautner joked that she and Dome would become namesakes when they got married.
