The Twilight Book Series Is About To Be Turned Into A TV Series (This Is A Huge Mistake)

The Twilight Saga is getting the television treatment as sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that a series version of author Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling book series is in early development via Lionsgate Television.

The Twilight TV series is in its infancy and does not yet have a network/platform or a writer as sources say the studio, which controls the rights to the franchise, plans to lead the development on the project before shopping the rights to the package. There is not yet a timeline for when the Twilight series will be taken out to potential buyers as Lionsgate first plans to find a writer to steer it.

Sources say author Meyer is expected to be involved in the television adaptation. Wyck Godfrey and former Lionsgate Motion Picture Group co-president Erik Feig, who during his tenure at Summit Entertainment bought the rights to the Twilight book series after Paramount Pictures passed, are both attached to exec produce the television take. Godfrey’s Temple Hill banner produced all five of the movies that Feig’s Summit distributed. The film franchise, which made stars of Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, collectively grossed more than $3.4 billion worldwide.  

NO NO NO NO NO!!!!! Just because Harry Potter is coming out with a new series based on the books, doesn't mean Twilight has to. The Twilight movies are ICONIC. Yes, the books were actually very good, and the movies are more "LOL" than anything, but that's what we love about them. The era of Vampires and Werewolves has passed us, but "Bella! Where the hell have you been LOCA?" lives on forever. 

The amount of reenactments I see around this movie on the internet/Tiktok could last 365 days straight if played on a loop. There's even a viral twerk style dance that goes along with audio from one of the more "serious" scenes. Robert Pattinson became known as "Edward" IMMEDIATELY, instead of "Cedric Diggory." People barely bat an eye when he played Cedric. Kristen Stewart's general look of discomfort throughout the entire series - genius. The movies made the books bigger than they were - something that the Harry Potter movies had never done. DON'T MESS WITH PERFECTION. 

Here are a few of my all time favorite reenactments from the internet.
