Summit Already Prepping 'Twilight' Sequel

Funny how I was one of the first to cover this movie, and now I'll probably be the last in line (if at all) to see it. Summit Entertainment's Twilight is still a month out of theaters and already it has been deemed a smash hit. The studio has some high expectations, especially after the strange San Diego Comic Con occurrences that had suits at Summit baffled. It seems like the studio is already hard at work prepping TWILIGHT: NEW MOON, the sequel to the popular teen-vampire adaptation slated to hit theaters November 21st. You can read about it inside.

"When your soundtrack isn't even completed much less released (not until November 4th), yet it's already in the Top 5 Best-Selling Albums on Amazon based on pre-sales alone, you know you have a hit," writes Deadline Hollywood, who reports that the studio is eyeing to fast track the sequel.

Based on the 2005 novel by Stephenie Meyer, 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.

"When Borders makes an exclusive calendar and sells out the first printing in a matter of days, you know you have a hit. And when the new trailer to your movie surpasses 3.5 million views less than 48 hours after its online debut, you know you have a hit."

If you click on over to Deadline, you can read all about the cost of the film, the marketing push and everything that has gone into making this film a success - before it even hits theaters. Watch for more soon.

didn't snakes on a plane reach cultural icon status before it's release only to crash and burn at the box office?

not surprising when you consider the number of brain dead teenagers in the world. i mean a movie about a fucking talking chihuahua's been number one at the box office in america for three weeks!

What's with everyone dissing TWILIGHT well before it's release date? The books were great, and I have no doubt in my mind that this movie version will be spectacular. This really isn't all that surprising, considering that there are four books, Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn.

I hate this movie so fucking much. Call me biased, but judging by my friends(the female hipsters who get wet just hearing the title) that are looking forward to this, I know it's gonna suck.

Don't be so negative! It's actually a pretty compelling story and it's very cinematic. I'm sure it will, at the very least, be aesthetically pleasing, and the acting will be solid, even if it strays far from the book.

It's bad enough that vampires are no longer scary and are whiny emos bent on dealing with their feelings, but now they're hipster numbskulls with iPods attached to their fucking ears. What's next? A vampire with a polyester jacket and horn-rimmed glasses? Fuck this movie.

What is this crap, it looks like high school musical with vampires. Anybody that sees this movie is a FAG!!! What a way to ruin Vampires.

I might be alone in this, but so far as I'm concerned, no matter how cheesy the book... anything that gets kids to READ nowadays is a good thing. Yes, the movie will probably suck. But I'm glad at least it will maybe catch some more interest in the books, if not just because perhaps some kid who's never read anything recreationally before might be interested in giving it a shot. That said, it really does look bad, but you never know until you try it!

Fag? :-| Ignorance. Sigh. Anyway, about the vampires using Ipods and stuff; lol, well it's not like they'll be running around in capes screaming "blah, blah, blah!" They've lived for centuries, so of course they'd get with the program- less they want to stand out. It makes sense that they'd be civilized; plus this isn't straight up horror. oh and another thing, the vampires do have cool background stories.

Good point about reading Mego.

My 11 year old daughter is dying to see this so I know it's gonna blow.It looks like the Jonas Brothers with fangs...

Except for the fact that these vampires don't have fangs...Well I don't really mind the negativity towards the -yet to be released- movie, because I hope that it'll surprise people in a good way (I doubt it's possible to get let down since most people here don't have expectations for it).
