The newest book-series-turned-movie-franchise-in-the-2000s that simply acquired a newly introduced TV present is none apart from the Twilight Saga. Following the Percy Jackson Disney Plus present and the freshly introduced Harry Potter series, it solely is sensible that Twilight will get the identical therapy.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the Twilight TV present is in very early growth levels, to the purpose the place it doesn’t have a community and even a author but. Lionsgate, the studio that owns the rights to the Twilight Saga, is purchasing round for writing expertise. Stephenie Meyer, the creator of the series, is anticipated to be concerned within the present’s growth.
The first Twilight e-book was revealed in 2007 and unleashed a wave of paranormal romance onto the younger grownup e-book scene. It adopted Bella Swan, a completely regular woman who strikes to Forks, Washington and meets the mysterious, brooding (and in addition glowing) Edward Cullen, who seems to be a vampire. The series is comprised of 4 books that have been tailored into 5 live-action motion pictures starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner.
It’s not stunning to see this information approaching the heels of Warner Media asserting a Harry Potter revival. The two franchises each had passionate, robust fanbases of their heydays, which frequently clashed with each other even though the books had little in widespread. It was merely the truth that they have been two very talked-about series that each appealed to younger adults in roughly the identical time interval — and thus, the battle was born.
While in style enchantment of Harry Potter has waned in mild of creator J.Ok. Rowling’s stances on trans individuals, assist of Twilight has oddly surged ahead, with many reclaiming the vampire romance novels in a meme renaissance. Twilight confronted criticism on the time and in more moderen years for its racist and sexist storytelling tropes, and a lot of the newfound curiosity in it includes tearing aside the extra controversial components whereas embracing its ridiculous narrative.
Lionsgate additionally owns the rights to The Hunger Games — the different super-duper large YA phenomenon that instantly adopted the Twilight/Harry Potter period. But contemplating that there’s a prequel film on the best way later this 12 months, it’s unlikely that anybody at Lionsgate can be trying to reboot that series for tv.
Since there is no different growth information for the Twilight present but, let the fan castings start! Personally, I feel Timothee Chalamet was simply born to play somebody who died of Spanish influenza in 1901.
