SUMMIT ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCES TWILIGHT SEQUEL - NEW MOON
Los Angeles, CA November 22, 2008 — Summit Entertainment announced today
that the studio is officially moving forward with the production of NEW
MOON, the second installment of its filmed franchise TWILIGHT, the action-
packed, modern day vampire love story. The movie will be based on the second
novel in author Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series titled, New Moon. The
first movie in the TWILIGHT franchise, the self-titled TWILIGHT, arrived in
theaters this weekend to sold-out showings.
Stephenie Meyer stated, "I don't think any other author has had a more
positive experience with the makers of her movie adaptation than I have had
with Summit Entertainment. I'm thrilled to have the chance to work with them
again on NEW MOON."
Starring Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, TWILIGHT tells the story of
17-year-old Bella Swan who moves to the small town of Forks, Washington to
live with her father, and becomes drawn to Edward Cullen, a pale, mysterious
classmate who seems determined to push her away. But neither can deny the
attraction that pulls them together...even when Edward confides that he and
his family are vampires. Their unorthodox romance puts her in physical
danger when Edward's nemesis comes to town and sets his sights on Bella.
