Twilight Drama: It's Not Just in the Book Anymore

When such an endearing and corny book as Twilight and it's subsequent series was released tweens all over the world echoed a sigh of Jane Austen worthy proportions. A series reliant on a hodge podge of vampire lure and a fairytale brooding pair of star crossed lovers, Twilight is a modern Romeo and Juliet with an emo twist and a strange curse turned miracle for the characters pre-marital sex. Fans were able to pick and choose their brand of moral or swoon when two men of epic proportions or just easily drawn characterization were pitted against each other in Edward and Jacob.

Now the world is fighting over the news that after the fantastic and very surprising release of the movie "Twilight" which broke many a record, ( I admit, I saw it, I loved it, I swooned and giggled like I was 12), the production company has fired the director before the press junket is over for the first movie. The news was broken to the poor woman in her hotel room while getting ready for an appearance for the movie and the tour itself still has several stops to make before she can retire her forced camera smile and start swearing. As of now the circulation rumors also say that the studio is looking to replace a major and vital character and switching release dates for the second film to rush the script, and possibly quality of the new director, in the next installment.

Now granted, "Twilight" is a movie is fun, that's a keyword, and you certainly must be familiar with the books to see the movie otherwise you'll feel like you wasted a giant chunk of time and money. But to rush the second script when what we got in the first one was close to the book but also laughable to the hordes of thirteen year old girls surrounding me-out loud mind you-then we have a major problem. At this point the last thing they want to do is mess with the horde of Twilight fan's who've made this knock-off franchise the next Gone with the Wind and screwing with the movie more than they did doesn't bode well for a sequel where one of the main draws, Robert Patterson, doesn't even show up through half of it. Go figure. More Robert Patterson? Yes! Killing the story to do it so they draw more tweens? No! Let's hope they get their red light green light patterns fixed before the supposed 2009 release of New Moon. I wish them Gods Speed and a lot of giggles. Hopefully the movie theaters will bring down their prices in the new future so I don't feel quite so robbed. Though I can't deny I will be sitting in the aisles biting my nails and sighing through the whole epic. What can I say, vamps are hot, like duh!
