Twilight is an upcoming film adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's 2005 best-selling novel of the same name.
Plot synopsis
Seventeen-year-old Isabella Swan moves to the small town of Forks, Washington to live with her father, Charlie. There, she finds herself drawn to a mysterious classmate, Edward Cullen, who is revealed to be a 108-year-old vampire in the form of a seventeen-year old boy. Although Edward discourages the romance at first, they soon fall deeply in love. But when the arrival of three nomadic vampires puts Bella's life in danger, Edward and his family put their lives at stake to save her before it's too late.[1]
Production
When Summit Entertainment reinvented itself as a full-service studio in April 2007, it began development of a film adaptation of the 2005 vampire novel Twilight written by Stephenie Meyer,[2] having picked up the rights from Paramount Pictures in a turnaround.[3] The company perceived the film as an opportunity to launch a franchise based on the success of Meyer's book and its sequels.[4] The following October, Catherine Hardwicke was hired to direct the film with Mark Lord and Melissa Rosenberg penning the script.[5] Production began in February 2008,[1] and filming lasted until May 2.[6] Scenes were filmed primarily in Portland, Oregon.[7] Kalama High School is serving as the primary setting for the school in the book, having been chosen over Forks High School itself.[8] Other scenes were also filmed in St. Helens, Oregon.[9] The studio hopes to create a series of at least three films based on Meyer's books.[10]
