Twilight Forever box set revealed

We all knew this was coming.

A box set featuring all five Twilight movies along with over two hours of new bonus footage will be released on November 5th. Twilight Forever: The Complete Saga will feature each film (10 Blu-Ray discs or 12 DVDs), Ultraviolet digital copies for each, and a photo album. In addition to the previously released 10 hours of bonus footage, the two new hours will feature new behind-the-scenes footage as well as new cast interviews.

The box is two-sided featuring Edward and Bella on one and Jacob on the other.

 

As for pricing, the Blu-Ray is going to run you $74.99 and the DVD is about $65. That isn't bad considering what other ultimate sets can cost you. For a Twilight fan this looks like a pretty legit box-set. I won't be buying it but I'm sure the twihards will get their fix in this holiday season. I also bet certain stores will give away limited edition goodies along with it. Target and Best Buy like to do that sort of thing when it comes to Twilight.

Fangango hosts Warm Bodies - The First 4 Minutes

We now have the first 4 minutes of the new zombie to human love story, Warm Bodies.
Yeah... I'm still not seeing it.

Warm Bodies - first trailer

Fuck, it even looks like Twilight. John Malkovich... I am disappoint.

Go to Collider to see the trailer from ET.

Warm Bodies poster is released

And it looks as terrible and the movie sounds. If you didn't hear anything about Warm Bodies it is basically Twilight with a zombie and stars Nicholas Hoult.

Lionsgate planning to remake Twilight

Rumored as of right now but knowing Lionsgate this is most likely true. According to Bloody-Disgusting, which you can honestly take or leave, Lionsgate is planning to either continue the Twilight saga beyond Breaking Dawn or remake it altogether.

I want to reiterate... this is just a rumor as of right now. There is no confirmation on this and no discussion outside of websites like this and people. With that said, this conversation in itself doesn't surprise me at all. Lionsgate already has said that they hope to continue Twilight after Breaking Dawn Part 2 because it is such a huge money maker. I said it then and I am still saying it now, I hope Stephenie Meyer has a way to stop this from happening. I hope their is some kind of clause or whatever that gives her the ultimate decision of what to do with these characters. I cannot handle more of this Twilight shit. I have been looking forward to 2012 since New Moon came out because I knew it would finally be over.

However, if this is going to happen there is only one way I would accept it... if they made it into a TV show. TV shows are so easy to avoid but they have the incredible potential to be popular and make a very decent amount of money. Look at the fanbase for shows like True Blood, The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, The Sopranos, The Vampire Diaries, Big Bang Theory, etc.. TV Shows can have a huge impact and enough people know about Twilight so it wouldn't necessarily curse it to fading out completely and it would give fans consistency. They also would have more room to do things correctly in terms of the books and they would have more time to expand on certain things that the movies haven't allowed. Seeing that this franchise has become so popular and is worth so much money I can't think of a single network that would pass on the opportunity.


So yeah. This isn't a surprise and I do agree with Bloody-Disgusting in saying that this will happen but damn it... I don't want it to. I fucking hate Lionsgate.

 
[UPDATE] Apparently Summit Entertainment did some damage control with Deadline and claimed the rumors of the reboot are untrue.

"We are not remaking Twilight. We will happily support Stephenie Meyer if she decides to proceed in any way. But this will be the last one unless that should change."

I think this is just what I said above. This is damage control. I have no doubt they have plans set in motion so they can act quickly if Meyer does give approval or dishes out some new material. They would be stupid not to say this.

Breaking Dawn Pt. 2 teaser poster surfaces

I personally don't give a fuck about Twilight but I know a lot of other people do. For those who do care, the first teaser poster for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 has surfaced and it looks like this...

 

The poster was displayed at this year's CinemaCon in Las Vegas and it looks almost identical to the teaser poster for Breaking Dawn Part 1. In other words, it looks like yet another bad Photoshop project. The main difference is the one for BD1 was like a sunset.

Gary Ross drops out of Catching Fire

This move I don't really understand, especially after the tremendous success of The Hunger Games. I just hope they get someone who knows what the fuck they are doing for both Catching Fire and Mockingjay.

Lionsgate buys Summit Entertainment, wants to continue the Twilight Saga

What did we ever do to deserve this? Lionsgate used to be credible, ffs.

http://www.slashfilm.com/lionsgate-buys-summit-studio-head-suggests-twilight-continue-breaking-dawn-part-ii/

Basically, Lionsgate is buying out Summit Entertainment thus inheriting all Summit's projects including the biggest of them all... The Twilight Saga. Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer says he wants to continue Twilight past Breaking Dawn Part 2 in either film or television. To quote Mr. Feltheimer:

"It’s hard for me to imagine a movie that does $700 million-plus doesn’t have ongoing value. It’s an amazing franchise that they have done a great job of maintaining with absolutely no deterioration. So the simple answer is ‘Boy I hope so.’"

As the article mentions, Lionsgate squeezed and will potentially still squeeze the life out of the Saw franchise. We got seven films, got promised a conclusion, got a shitty conclusion, and now they want an 8th film that will no doubt be even shittier than the 7th.
Now... this can't happen without Stephenie Meyer's consent, yes? She would have to approve the rights to use the storyline to create more movies and/or a TV show. Lionsgate can't just absorb the existing films and think they can do whatever they want with the story. Or can they?

I never thought I would say this and really mean it, but I am really starting to hate Lionsgate. They are nothing but a bunch of greedy fucks.

Warm Bodies = zombie Twilight?

I will admit I hadn't heard a thing about the new Summit Entertainment zombie film, Warm Bodies, until this morning. It is set to hit theaters on August 10th. The central plot is basically this: a tormented zombie begins a friendship with the girlfriend of one of his victims that starts a reaction that will affect him and his fellow zombies. The film will feature Nicholas Hoult as the lead zombie named "R." It will also feature John Malkovich, Lizzy Caplan, Teresa Palmer, and Rob Corddry.

Call me crazy, but Summit touching anything with the horror supernatural (look at what they did with Twilight) seems to be more of the same. Check out this first image that surfaced back in November. It looks like one of the same poses they used for Twilight promos, including the same coloring.

Bloody-Disgusting (where I found the second image posted below) thinks Warm Bodies sounds a bit less like Twilight, and they are thankful, but I am not so sure. We're going to have to wait for a trailer to know for sure. I'm predicting another teen supernatural drama with shitty acting. The only plus side is there is no doubt in my mind that this won't have the massive fanbase that Twilight has. I don't know what is more annoying about Twilight, the fanbase or the movies/books themselves.

Anyway, here is the newest image of Nicholas Hoult as "R." He looks like Jacob Black did in New Moon, ffs.

 

EDIT: Little bit of proof to what I was talking about with the photo similarities to Twilight. Obviously not identical but it's very noticeable. 

Please tell me I'm not the only one who sees this. The trailer even looks like Twilight.
