Hope you're not tired of romantic vampires, since there's going to be more films from the Twilight series being produced, according to this piece in Variety:
Fresh from a massive opening day for "Twilight," Summit Entertainment has officially greenlit a "New Moon" sequel.
Summit made the widely expected announcement Saturday morning. "Twilight" generated first-day grosses of $35.7 million from 3,419 playdates on Friday -- including $7 million from Thursday midnight shows.
The vampire thriller's a ready-made franchise for Summit with four books in Stephenie Meyer’s series, which have sold more than 17 million copies worldwide.
"New Moon" is the second title in the series and is centered on Edward Cullen leaving Bella Swan in order to keep her safe from other vampires. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart play the leads in the film.
"I don't think any other author has had a more positive experience with the makers of her movie adaptation than I have had with Summit Entertainment," Meyer said in a statement.
"Twilight" had been expected to open in the $50 million to $60 million range, although it looks likely to end up above that.

-I'm personally more of a fan of HBO's True Blood, but I have the Twilight book on my bed right now, and it seems I should give it a shot. What do you guys think of the books/movie?

ReplyDeleteTwilight is...an entertaining book, some moments are kind of clunky, especially some of the things Bella thinks about or the way she describes Edward and overall Edward is kind of 2 dimensional. In terms of quality i'd give it 3 1/2 out of 5. In terms of adictiveness 4 1/2 out of 5. Hope that helps! =)
