We all understand that studios want to make money any way they can, and consequently jump onto bandwagons in order to do so, but this Twilight trend is getting insane. This year alone, we’ve seen Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant, The Vampire Diaries, and a new season of the higher quality True Blood. Buffy may get rebooted in film form, and Hollywood is even trying to continue the Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles. Everyone wants a bite of the vampire neck (HA!).

Now Dreamworks is trying to drink the Kool-Aid with a different magical franchise described as “Twilight meets Wanted with witchcraft.” According to THR, Dreamworks has picked up the rights to the Wicked series of books that includes the title novel as well as Curse, Legacy, Spellbound and Resurrection. Not the cute musical or the book the musical was based on, this Wicked follows a teenage girl who, after her parents die and she’s forced to move with her aunt, finds out that she may be a witch. How convenient to find that out when you’re thirteen and angsty.

The adaptation was pitched by brothers Aaron and Matthew Benay and will consolidate the first two books in the series. Surprisingly enough, these dudes are the guys that wrote 1906, the first live-action Pixar movie that Brad Bird is directing for 2012. Too bad their new project doesn’t even sound a quarter as interesting as the Pixar endeavor. But hey, not everything can be Pixar.
