Twilight Spin-Offs Possible?![]()
For any movie studio interested in building a lucrative blockbuster franchise, Hollywood’s current holy grail, adapting a long-running and already popular literary series is generally the method of choice. That works fine of course, until you run out of books to adapt and your cash-cow is left dead in the water. That’s where Warner Bros. is headed as they’re rapidly running out of Harry Potter to repurpose and eventually, that’s where Summit will end up with Twilight. Except, they may have a plan.
Screenrant uncovered an interview with Radar Online in which they caught two of The Twilight Saga’s producers, Wyck Godfrey and Greg Mooradian at the 36th Annual Vision Awards in Beverly Hills late last month. When asked about the possibility of doing Twilight spin-offs once they run out of books, they had this to say: “Stay tuned. I think if our movies do as well as the first did all possibilities are out there. But right now we need to finish what we have and finish Stephenie’s vision as best we can and then let’s see where the audience demands us to go from there.” I don’t think audience demand will be much of a problem. Twilight mania is unlikely to fade any time soon. Teenage Twilight fans grow up into Twilight Moms and Twilight Moms, presumably will just age into Twilight Grandmoms and the cycle will continue on and on. There’s certainly no shortage of side characters to explore both in the first movie and in the books. Stephanie Meyer’s stories are focused entirely on Bella and her romantic entanglements, but even as someone who wasn’t exactly enamored with the first movie I might be interested some sort of prequel focused on the early years of the Cullen family for instance. Or in the next installment New Moon, a group of Italian vampires known as the Volturi will play a major role. Radar suggests them as spin-off fodder. Three movies to go, any consideration of a spin-off is still a long ways off. This far out, anything is possible. I think I’m holding out for an all vampire baseball movie. |
