According to the Gardian, Lionsgate chief Patrick
Wachsberger echoes sentiments of stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson in
suggesting further Stephenie Meyer books would be eagerly adapted for film.
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 £2.5bn. 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.”
