This week Warner Bros. pushed back their release of HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE, which left the pre-Thanksgiving weekend November 21, 2008 slot wide open for grabs. Who moved quickest? Summit Entertainment quickly snapped up the date for their adaptation of Twilight, which was originally slated for release December 21, 2008. Read on for more details and a few new (lame) stills from the vampire adaptation from Catherine Hardwicke.
"When Warner Bros. decided to move 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' to the summer of 2009, we saw a unique opportunity to slot in our film which has been gaining tremendous awareness and momentum over the past several months," Summit's Rob Friedman said.
Striking a respectful tone, Friedman added, "We by no means are trying to fill the shoes of the incredible Potter franchise for 2008, rather we are just looking to bring the fans of Stephenie Meyer's incredible book series the film as soon possible from a programming perspective."
The film is about a high school girl named Bella falls in love with a vampire. The new couple leads a rival vampire clan to pursue them and attempt to force her to decide if she, too, wishes to become one of the undead.
