Time to sink my teeth in

by Matt Holmes

I've had no reason to hate the TWILIGHT series up until this point. Well, except when the fans of the book abuse, bully and threaten my life because I mis-spelt the author's name once. Oh and because I was bored by the teaser trailer. And well, because of the many conversations I've had with young female fans of this novel. "been there, done that... having you read Anne Rice's series of novels?" I say, and I either get called ignorant or they go, "Anne who... Interview with the what?". My bad. I'm actually planning on watching TWILIGHT for the first time today, I just told the P.R. woman who offered me a disc to review last night, that I wanted to watch it myself instead of sending it off to my comrades. I will let you know what I thought in due course but I'm sinking my teeth into it finally. 3-1 I now have a further reason to be curious by this vampire series. Juan Antonio Bayona, the Spanish protage who gave us THE ORPHANAGE last year is directing the third book in the series, ECLIPSE. That one is due in June 2010, right after NEW MOON (from studio killer Chris Weitz) opens this November 20th. Sadly it means his movie at Universal about an epidemic which sends ordinary people into violent ruptures, the adaptation of HATER he was to direct for the buy Guillermo del Toro will probably be delayed. For fans of the novel, is ECLIPSE a more adult book in this series? Has it got enough material for Bayona to wow us with his talent of suspense?
