New Moon is already planned!!

OK, this is probably very very old news, but I wanna post here, just in case some of you out there has yet to know about this.

"Twilight" Sequel Already in the Works'

DeadlineHollywoodDaily is reporting that Summit Entertainment's CEO Rob Friedman is already prepping a "Twilight" sequel, even though the first film has yet to appear in theaters. You might be wondering were all this confidence in the franchise is coming from.

First, "Twilight" has an established audience of book fans with domestic sales reaching 7.5 million for all four Stephanie Meyer novels. The series was a New York Times #1 bestseller for 59 weeks.

Second, the trailer for the film has received over 2 million views on MySpace in the first 24 hours. After two days, it has broken 3.5 million views. It went as far as giving the record-holder "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" some competition.

Third, at one point a "Twilight" book knocked "Harry Potter" of the top spot on the best-sellers list.

If that's not enough, "Twilight" also just took the old release date of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," which decided to move to next summer. And finally, "Twilight" cost only $30+ million to make. Even if Summit receives $20 million during its opening weekend, the film will still end up being a success and worthy of a sequel.

The Daily Beast Interviews Catherine Hardwicke

10 years after twilight , director Catherine Hardwicke opens up to The Daily Beast on new details on the film, some we've never known before. Ten years ago, the Twilight film franchise was an unknown quantity. In fact, Catherine Hardwicke, the director of the first Twilight, was surrounded by film executives who all but expected the vampire flick to fail. “Nobody thought this is a big, blockbuster franchise,” Hardwicke tells the Daily Beast. “There were very low expectations for Twilight, because every other studio had turned it down. They said, OK, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants was a very popular book for girls, and it made $39 million. That’s it. We don’t know if this could ever make us any more than that, so we don’t really want to spend more than that.
