Another Twilight film could be on the way

Lionsgate co-chairman Patrick Wachsberger has revealed that another Twilight film could be in the works.

The series, written by Stephenie Meyer, flew off bookshelves and was adapted into one of the best selling young adult film ever -raking in $35.7million on it’s opening day.

Patrick said that “it’s a possibility” for another Twilight film to be made.

The possibility for another film to be made relies on whether or not Stephenie wants another vampire love story told.

The author had started writing another Twilight novel in 2008 narrated by one of her lead characters Edward Cullen but scarped the idea when a draft of the manuscript was published online.

“Not a certainty but it’s a possibility,” Patrick told Screen Daily.

“It’s about Stephenie [novelist Stephenie Meyer]. If she wants to tell a story related to those characters we’re here for her.”

The producer also revealed that one of the film’s break out stars, Robert Pattinson, was a last minute choice.

“Twilight was a game changer for everyone involved,” he admitted.

“Robert Pattinson only came in three weeks before shoot. An assistant, who has subsequently become a very successful executive, said, ‘There’s this guy called Rob Pattinson from the fourth Harry Potter,’ I said, ‘Well, let’s fly him in from London.’

“He did his screen test and he got the job. I’m not going to tell you how little the salary was on the first one but of course lawyers were there to renegotiate deals following its success.”
