“Twilight” will be an animated series for the adult audience

Cinema and animation can complement each other. Famous film franchises such as Avatar or Star Wars are offered to a huge fan army in a variety of formats. Apparently, "Twilight" also decided to try multimedia. And interest in the animation project immediately showed the author of the literary primary source Stephanie Meyer.

It is reported that the main material for the script of the animated series will be the novel “Midnight Sun”. The same name will be given to the series itself. Meyer and her team have reportedly been actively involved in the development of the project, which is likely to help avoid the disagreements that often arise between writers and producers.

The plot of the series will unfold in Forks, familiar to all Twilight fans. The characters will be Bella Swan and the vampire Edward Cullen, who wants to look like an ordinary person to everyone. But if in Twilight events are shown from the point of view of Bella Swan, then in the series the audience will plunge into the world of Cullen. The plot twists already known from the films will be complemented by his memories of his past, and emotional experiences associated with feelings for Bella.

For the first time about the project started two years ago, but only now the idea acquires clearer features. However, the names of the actors who will voice the animated series are still unknown.

In Russia, “Twilight” also became the subject of hype again. The re-release provoked a powerful nostalgic impulse of those who watched these films in their youth (the first part of Twilight was released in 2008), and a clear interest of the buzzer generation in the gloomy aesthetics of romantic fantasy. It can be assumed that eighteen years after the Twilight movie launch, the situation in the industry has become so worse that for young people, going to the movies does not make much sense. But these kinds of guests from the past can kind of bring back faith in the big screen.

In the streams of memories and memes that filled social networks, the public actively shares their impressions of the careers of actors who played the main roles. Both Kristen Stewart (Bella Swan) and Robert Pattinson (Edward Cullen) have long since moved away from youth franchises and starred in vibrant independent films that made them talk about as serious actors. Robert Pattinson will receive the American Cinematheque Award this year. There’s no doubt that Edward Cullen’s vampire charm helped Pattinson get into the big movies.
