Twilight to Be a tv Show
Posted On Tuesday, November 24th, 2009 By
It appears that Robert Pattinson has signed a $500 million deal to star in a Twilight TV series as Edward Cullen. It is also rumoured that the TV executives also want his on screen and off screen love interest Kirsten Stewart.
It appears that filming could start as early as next year as the stars will be free when they finish working on the third Twilight instalment Eclipse.
This move will fill a huge teenage gap which was left by Buffy The Vampire Slayer several years ago when it finished forever. It would be interesting to know what angle they will take for the series. Will they carry on where the books left off with both of them having a baby or will it delve deeper into the relationship before when Bella Swan has mortal. Personally I hope they take this option as I like the conflict they have and the chemistry. We will just have to wait and see what happens.
It is not surprising that Summit Entertainment, the makers of the films want to branch into television. New Moon took $275 million at the box office this weekend and the figures from other countries in the world where it had a huge weekend opening havent even been added up fully yet.
When you look at the television potential of that fan base it kind of blows your mind. Look at series like Lost and Smallville they make millions every year with boxed sets and merchandise and they didn’t even start with a fan base so if you want a good investment for the future put your money into Summit Entertainment.
