The Twilight Saga May Survive Beyond Breaking Dawn

Posted 39 days ago by Larson Hill

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1The Twilight Saga may survive beyond Breaking Dawn now that the popular teen film franchise is at Lionsgate following the studio’s purchase of Summit Entertainment.

On Friday, following the official purchase of Summit Entertainment by Lionsgate, Jon Feltheimer, chief executive of Lionsgate Entertainment, hinted to The Los Angeles Times that fans could see more of The Twilight Saga characters played by Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner.

“It’s hard for me to imagine a movie that does $700 million-plus doesn’t have ongoing value,” said Feltheimer. “It’s an amazing franchise that they have done a great job of maintaining with absolutely no deterioration.” Since Lionsgate now has the popular Stephenie Meyer series under its roof, Feltheimer was upbeat about the future of The Twilight Saga. “So the simple answer is, ‘Boy, I hope so.’”

Although The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 was supposed to wrap the mega-popular film franchise in November, the recent acquisition of Summit by Lionsgate opens a new Twilight world of possibilities, including The Twilight Saga on television.

As reported by The L.A. Times, Feltheimer admitted that The Twilight Saga on television is a hopeful possibility, especially since Lionsgate has has its own TV productions.

    I dont know about a TV show that would probably suck but it would be cool to do The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner into a movie.

    Ugh. Why can’t it just go away???  I think it’s more than enough to have four terrible books and five awful movies, all of which combine to bring barely enough plot and action to fill an opening sequence.

    Besides, the movies are based on the books and the books (thankfully) ended.  Harry Potter was super-successful too, and the movies ended where the books ended.

    I don’t like the idea of a television series but I could see more movies. Even thought the books end, there is still alot of questions and possibilities.

    I think that a few more movies would be great. But I don’t think a television series is going to work. Lets just keep it at a movie.

    Ok I see two sides of this both positive and negative the positive is that lionsgate is a good film industry with evidence of movies like Dogma, American Psycho the Saw Series as well as movies like The Punisher and other films. The major thing I think might be good for the series is it might continue on into a darker form of the series and we might get to see a film version of midnight sun. I like lionsgate films so I am kind of bias on this but I will objective about  it as well. Negative: Repetition and depends if the cast wants to do it or not.

    I’m a big fan of Twilight and honestly I don’t care either way. What happens, happens, and I’ll watch anything with the cast in it.

      Oh, dear god, shut up.

    I’m a big fan of the Twilight saga and and sad that it will end, but end it must.  Go out on a high note.  I doubt that the original cast would want to continue, fear of type casting and just wanting to go in a new direction after 5 years of playing the same old same old.  I read a lot of the fan fiction stories and own the dvds  Please don’t ruin it by forcing it to continue.

    Breaking dawn was so rong I thought edward and bella could not have a baby

  • Blfrye

    I love the Twilight Saga.  I hope it continues in movie form.  It would be terrific to see Midnight Sun finished and in movie form.   Also Renesmee is another possible plot avenue to consider.

    I wouldn’t mind more movies if they would use the same actors. I don’t think they will come back, I mean without the original actors, and Stephanie Meyer on board it would be a disaster! And as far as a tv show goes, I don’t see Rob and Kristen on the small screen anytime soon, such a bad idea.. If they can get the same actors and Stephanie back, I’m all for another movie..

  • Abs_bia777

    Right now I say no. But I just know I’ll somehow be sucked into watching it. *sigh…*
