Twilight sequels already in the pipeline

There has been a lot of talk, and anticipation, around the upcoming movie “Twilight.” The film revolves around the relationship between an average teenage girl, Bella, and a vampire, Edward, in a rainy Northwest town. The movie has been generating huge buzz ahead of its Nov. 21 bow. To be honest I was expecting nothing less. There’s a huge demand for good vampire/werewolf movies. I think we all have had just about enough of the “Hostel” and “Saw” type of horror. Bring back the real horror and and mysticism.

Anyway, The Hollywood Reporter tells us that with Summit Entertainment preparing to release its big bet “Twilight,” the company has acquired rights to the next three novels in Stephenie Meyer’s blockbuster vampire series and has hired “Twilight” scribe Melissa Rosenberg to pen scripts based on “New Moon” and “Eclipse,” the second and third books, respectively.

In “New Moon,” Edward leaves Bella, sending Bella into a depression and a friendship with another werewolf. In the third book, “Eclipse,” that relationship triangle evolves, while evil vampires begin to pursue Bella. “Breaking Dawn” pushes the plot further with a marriage between Bella and Edward.

Good stuff! Bring me all your werewolfs and vampires! Aaaoooooooo! (I’m howling at the moon…)
