Lionsgate Plans On Remaking ‘Twilight.’ It’s True. They’ll Deny It. But It’s True

[Jennifer Lawrence Fan]

November 21, 2008. That’s what, a little less than four years ago? Since then Summit Entertainment has released four Twilight adaptations, with the fifth and final arriving on November 16. By the five year anniversary, Lionsgate, who acquired Summit back in January for $412.5 million in cash and stock, will be in serious discussions regarding the future of the Stephenie Meyer vampire/werewolf franchise.

They’ll deny it, right here, right now. We’ll get plenty of eggs in our face. Sites will burn us at the stake like a witch during the Salem trials. Still, the fact will remain: it’s true.

In fact, they’re already discussing it internally. It will happen.

Twilight will return. It will never leave. It is eternal. Prepare to weep for another decade.

It is still undecided exactly what the future of the franchise will be, though. It could be a direct remake, considering the initial saga is so poorly made, but then again it could also be a spinoff or maybe even a one-off sequel. It could be anything to keep the green bills piling high. But expect a remake. Yes, quickly.

Lionsgate’s needs a fresh franchise to run alongside the Tyler Perry and Saw films that fueled them through the 00′s. Now that they have Summit, and The Hunger Games franchise, revising Twilight from another studio’s perspective could be just what the doctor ordered…

Talk back below.

To all those out there that hates Twilight and thought the worst was over after this year. Well, you'll be in for a painful surprise if Lionsgate has it's way. They know there is too much money to just not let go. The fans of these movies will keep on seeing them and seeing them until its end of days really.

AND GO!

Eventually that will happen. Until were all living in a world of remakes and remakes of remakes of remakes of remakes.

it wont be remade - they may do sequels or spinoffs, but not remakes. At least not for a long time.

whatever they do with it, it will suck... just like the current series.

Thing is, I think interest in this series will quickly die down after the final movie. It's like New Kids on the Block or something.... tween girls are crazy about them and they seem unstoppable, but those girls will grow up and grow out of it, and no one will care anymore.

The Hunger Games is the new face now after the last Twlight leaves theaters.

I wouldn't even label that a fair comparison. Hunger Games was superior in every single way imaginable. The quality of that movie was way ahead of anything the twilight series has ever contributed.

This is what I think will happen too.

It would not surprise me if they went for a remake in 5 years time or so. Try to grab a new generation to spend their money.

Remake or whatever... the franchise is not getting anymore than the initial 1000 SCENE POINTS that I "paid" to go see the first one in theatres. I don't care who is directing or starring. The content is pure garbage and doesn't deserve my attention unless there is nothing else on the planet to watch... and there is ALWAYS something else to watch.

[tommyboy81]

Michael Bay for Director of the remakes!

I saw the first movie with my wife (she enjoyed the books( and boy was it horrible. The acting was painful to watch, the story was so lame I could not believe it....In the end I got lucky, my wife hate the movie als and as no wish on watching the others, I love her so much

Twilight Fans are quickly moving onto Fifty Shades of Gray, so if I was Lionsgate, I would seriously think hard about what sort of returns they think they will see with a 6th movie.

Star Wars: Episode IV -- A New Hope is a remake of The Hidden Fortress.

The 2009 Star Trek directed by J.J. Abrams is a remake of Star Wars: Episode IV.

The Harry Potter series has massive similarities to the elements found in Tolkien's Middle-Earth.

It's already happened.

Yeah, they immediately went to a re-boot of Spider-man when Raimi, Maguire, and Dunst called it quits.

The sooner Twilight's candle burns out for good, the better.

I know that Lucas took some elements from that film for inspiration, but I wouldn't call it a remake.

The 2009 Star Trek directed by J.J. Abrams is a remake of Star Wars: Episode IV.

How so? I saw the 2009 film, and wasn't impressed at all. There doesn't seem to be any direct allusions to "Star Wars", except for ILM doing the effects work.

The Harry Potter series has massive similarities to the elements found in Tolkien's Middle-Earth.

Again, in what way(s)?

That's not exactly what happened. Raimi was working on his story for "Spider-Man 4", but the Sony guys were worried that he wouldn't be done by their release date. So, they hired James Vanderbilt to do a "backup script" (which essentially stole some of Raimi's ideas), and when Raimi came to them later with the issue, they refused to change the date. He left, and Tobey & Kirsten went with him.
