Twilight reunion movie ‘a possibility’

Appetite for a new Twilight movie is as keen at the studio that made the originals as it is among fans.

Speaking to Screen Daily, Lionsgate chief Patrick Wachsberger has expressed interest in furthering the big-screen annals of the vampire romance.

“It’s a possibility,” he said. “Not a certainty, but it’s a possibility. It’s about Stephenie [Meyer]. If she wants to tell a story related to those characters, we’re here for her.”

Meyer’s four books were made into five movies which together took around GBP2.5 billion (11.4 billion). The stars of the franchise, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, have also professed themselves open to further instalments.

Said Stewart of the possibility of a reboot: “To be honest with you: I would be interested. I’d be kind of fascinated, but it wouldn’t emotionally affect me one way or the other.”

Meanwhile Pattinson was more circumspect, saying: “I’d be curious what Stephenie would write, but I think I’d probably be too old. I’m already too old. But yeah, it’d be kind of interesting.”
