Just when you thought we’d suffered enough, Twilight is set to expand from movie theaters into a weekly presence in your home. I know, I thought they’d already done that and it was called The Vampire Diaries. But this will be the real deal and what’s more they may even bring along the cast from the films, for a price.
ICT Mag says Summit is planning a Twilight spin-off TV show and they could be offering film star Robert Pattinson as much as $1.5 million per episode to show up in it. Rumor is they may be offering Kristen Stewart a similar deal.
Of course even if any of this is true, there’s no guarantee they’d take it. With more movies still to come, throwing a Twilight TV show into the mix as well would mean Pattinson and Stewart forced to devote every waking second of their lives for the next few years to playing the same characters over, and over, and over again. It’s voluntary typecasting of the highest order. That might mean no more time for mid-Twilight break projects like Adventureland for Stewart and an end to those little indie movies Pattinson has squeezed in between fangless vampire movies. On the other hand, there’s nearly $250 million to do a TV show. I know which way I’d go.
