Based purely on advanced buzz, it appears that TWILIGHT already has a sequel in the works. Nikki Finke has the scoop over HERE, which is actually a pretty interesting comparison with the success of HARRY POTTER and how plausible it is to think that this film will kill at the box office. Alas, if only I was twelve and a girl. This job would be a freaking dream!

Huge established fan base of teenaged kids. The soundtrack hasn't been released yet but it's already in Amazon's Top 5 best selling list. The new trailer had 3.5 million views in its first 48 hours online. Let's face it the only way this sequel wasn't coming is if the apocalypse came first.

Dont hold your breath
I don't think this movie will do as well as people expect. If you want a good Vamp movie with a love story and good looking people watch Lost Boys, the Corey's not withstanding of course. Having said that I'm reserving my ticket!

JoBlo crew:



Is there any possible way this article could be the last coverage of Twilight? Is it possible to completely disregard any more updates on anything Twilight, ever again? Even trailers of future sequels? Let's just pretend the series isn't even in existence. Maybe then we'll get lucky and it'll come true.



If not, I pray the apocalypse DOES come prior to...

If not, I pray the apocalypse DOES come prior to spare us all the anguish.

Seriously wish I cared.
Like you said if only I was a girl...& 12. I'm sure this is going to be a decent hit but just like "Harry Potter" I won't ever be the target audience. This will be full of cliche's as well.

"Twilight" won't even compare to the magnificent quality of HBO's "True Blood".

I had forgotten all about this movie coming out, and honestly thought this post had something to do with Robert Benton's 1998 movie with Paul Newman and Susan Sarandon...



Like, maybe Newman's death inspired him to revisit the characters or something.



That would have been more interesting, anyway.

Wow...
I so called this like six months ago. While I'm pretty damn sure this will be the mega fantasy blockbuster of the holiday season, it's never wise to plan a sequel so far in advance. I mean everybody thought Eragon and Golden Compass were going to be surefire hits too and there's always the tiniest chance this could go down the same path (big opening weekend then drops off sharply, and before...

It's pretty inevitable. The book has a whole trilogy behind it plus a spin-off of sorts, so you have 4 whole movies to milk out right there.



The date of the movie and the rabid fangirl base behind it will make it grab a boat load of $, so I knew this was coming...



...ugh...
