Twilight Countdown!!!
Monday, November 17th, 2008
I have to admit that I am pretty obsessed with this new flick. As a matter of fact I am speed reading the book to finish it before friday. My fellow friend - also a vampire lover - and myself are making it quite an event. Be certain that I will definitely be one of the over obsessed fans wearing the T-shirt and all.
Will the sequels get made?
The Hollywood Reporter has reported that Summit Entertainment is already ramping up development on the next two films in the “Twilight” franchise:
The company has acquired rights to the next three novels in Stephenie Meyer’s blockbuster vampire series and has hired “Twilight” scribe Melissa Rosenberg to pen scripts based on “New Moon” and “Eclipse,” the second and third books, respectively.
Apparently, the film needs to gross $150 million for the studio to give a sequel the go. Many have said the Twilight saga has potential to reach the success of the ”Harry Potter” films.
The most recent “Harry Potter” film (”Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix”) grossed more than $292 million in the United States alone. And the lowest-grossing of the franchise (”Harry Potter and the Prizoner of Azkaban”) made almost $250 million in the U.S.
Ok, this means I better plan on watching the film more than once. Are you planning to see the movie? Would you want to see the sequels get made (New Moon)?
Make sure to let me know what you think of the movie.
