TWILIGHT sequels in development at Summit

By Matt Holmes / June 25, 2011

TWILIGHT opens next Friday in the U.S. (18th Dec. U.K.) and if the insane riots during a guest appearance of one of star Robert Pattinson at an event this week in San Francisco is anything to go by, the movie is going to be huge. And Summit Entertainment clearly think so to. The Hollywood Reporter say Melissa Rosenberg, the scribe of the first movie in the series has been hired to adapt the second (NEW MOON) and third (ECLIPSE) novel in Stephenie Meyer's franchise for the big screen. The sensible thought is the second and third movie will be filmed back-to-back. The fourth novel, the recent smash BREAKING DAWN does not yet have a writer though Summit Entertainment have bought the rights.
