Three ‘Twilight’ Sequels Being Developed; Author Meyer Disagrees with Pattinson

Good news for all the obsessive, lovelorn women of the world: Summit Entertainment, who are releasing the “Twilight” movie, have purchased the rights to the all the books in Stephenie Meyer Twilight series as reported by THR. The only production plans written in cement are bringing back Melissa Rosenberg for the next two features. The fourth book/movie is a whole different story.

Breaking Dawn, the fourth book, was released this fall and caused a massive Twilight fan revolt largely because the masses objected strongly to Meyer’s story choices – never the less the book was fairly obviously written, to our eyes, with a large scale movie budget in mind and it will take quite a lot of money to recreate it on film. Personally, my interest in the series started to wain around the third book so perhaps Summit are hedging their bets before they go all in on a book that was not exceptionally well received by even the hardcore fans.

In other “Twilight” updates MTV News have posted a new interview with series author Stephenie Meyer that contains a lot of unseen movie clips and behind the scenes shots – and a completely vague and unsatisfying quote about her disagreements with Robert Pattinson on the character of Edward. Meyer tells MTV, “we sat down to talk about Edward’s character before we started filming. It wasn’t an argument, but we actually disagreed on his character. I’d be like, ‘This is how it is,’ and he’d be like, ‘No, it’s this way.’ And the funny thing about it was, here we are, arguing about a fictional character. Yet, in the performance, he did what he wanted, and it turned out how I wanted it.”

So, essentially, everything turned out find and Pattinson is free to continue calling her crazy in the press.
