Fans of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight films (and books) are in for a bittersweet holiday season – when the Twilight Saga’s final film installment, Breaking Dawn – Part 2, opens in theaters on November 16th, 2012. While some moviegoers consider the Twilight series an affront to quality cinema, the films have continually challenged box office records and brought in over $1 billion total so far in theaters.
Amidst reports of a possible series reboot, Meyer and franchise star Kristen Stewart spoke out about their feelings on potential Twilight reimaginings as well as spin-offs – most notably where the author might take the story in a possible book (and film) sequel.
Franchise leading man, Robert Pattinson, was the first to field a question about a potential Twilight reboot:
“I think it would be amazing. I would love to see that. I pity the person who would take over my role [joking about the criticisms the young actors faced themselves].“
Stewart followed up by asserting that she’s ready to see the Twilight saga come to a conclusion – unless Meyer has a good idea for further non-Bella-centric installments:
“What’s really great about this film, about turning that last page is that you have a thing that’s done and they can have it now. I feel like this is just an insider’s perspective but I played her. But if anything else happened, I’m like, please leave them [Bella and Edward] alone. They figured it out, leave them and by the end of the movie it’s so abundantly satisfying and sweet and ideal. It feels good. Like it should end. But Steph [if there is another one] I’m down. I’d be open to the idea, I’d be really interested in hearing what it was.”
Before showing off footage for her other supernatural young adult book-turned-movie, The Host, at the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 Comic-Con panel in Hall H, Meyer expanded on Stewart’s comments and offered up her own tongue-in-cheek timeline for new Twilight saga installments (or franchise reboots):
“It would be really interesting in 20 years. That’s good. But I do pity the person who tries to step into these roles because it might not go well for them, I imagine, because this is what is loved [indicating toward the cast]. It wouldn’t be the same. It’d be interesting to explore.
Bella’s story is definitely told. Like [Kristen] said, it’s final. Back in the day when I was never going to stop writing about vampires, there’s a reason why this lovely lady (Mackenzie Foy playing Renesmee) was created. It wasn’t just I wanted Bella to have a baby, I was creating another one. But yah, 20 years, 20 years.”
The notion of a Renesmee-focused story shouldn’t come as a surprise to a lot of Twi-hard fans who hoped that Meyer might continue the Cullen-family story – without causing further trouble for the fan-favorite Bella/Edward pair. A Renesmee plotline, especially one that comes to theaters 20 years later (though don’t expect it to actually take that long), could prove extremely profitable for Lionsgate – since it could cull both older fans as well as newly indoctrinated Twilight lovers (who were too young to take part in the current craze). Of course, a future-set storyline would also allow for Stewart and Pattinson to return somewhere down the line.
Either way, the news is by no means confirmation that Meyer will ever revisit the series (or that a reboot will be greenlit anytime soon) – and merely, for the time being, serves as an interesting peek inside the minds of the author and actors that have made the series such a phenomenon. However, should the studio actually move forward with any of these ideas, fan response will without question be mixed. Plenty of passionate Twilight supporters could be excited to see the story continue but, at the same time, others are definitely ready to see the franchise come to a close in as Stewart put it, an “abundantly satisfying” conclusion – albeit a bittersweet one.
We’ll keep you posted on further Twilight developments but don’t hold your breath for Pattinson’s Twilight sequel pitch: “What if Bella and Edward get divorced and it was kind of a Mr. and Mrs. Smith thing?”

NO WAY! Let the Twilight saga just end!
*Sigh* More sparkle. Sparkle of more money is in these people’s eyes.
She can make another Twilight if Stephanie Meyer wants to I think she should infact I think she should never stop making Twilights.
i agree all the twilight haters can fk of
Vampires don’t sparkle, its been said a million times before, so Stephanie Meyers can STFU with her books already.
As for Stewart? Kinda hard to show no emotion… EVER…
Twilight is a fad. Its current fans are pretty much about to step into adulthood and are on the cusp of getting over it. I say don’t do it. And not just to prevent more awful films being made, but also because I think a reboot at this point will put-off die-hard fans of the original, not be as appealing to all those who grow out of it every year, and well, newly-made teenagers will look for something fresh.
In short, it won’t make no money. Especially not the reboot sequels.
Google “Twilight Moms”. Plenty of older ladies are in the Twilight craze. Not saying its a good thing, but its not just young ones going all ga ga for Twlight. Unfortunately there will always be a market for the Twlight franchise.
Twilight Moms = 50 Shades of Grey Fanatics
I’m 14 and I don’t get tired of twilight Stephanie Meyer should make another wonderful movie about Twilight and no characters will be changed.
If they think that more of these films will make any money than I say go for it, as long as the use the profits to make movies that aren’t crap, i.e. “Hurt Locker”, “Momento”.
Not the biggest fan of these novels or movies. However, its NOT FOR US! Let the young have what entertains them. Our comic book, thrillers, horror and etc isnt for everyone. To each his own. If you dont like, dont watch it. There are plenty of outstanding projects out for us to enjoy and for us to get excited for. We complain way too much that children dont have enough ro dont read, or do whatever they should be doing, then when something of this nature gets their attention, we are quick to bash it. These movies are their pleasure. Geez
Well this is kinda true. Most people gripe because they to constantly be exposed to Twilight on TV, mags and stuff and the stuff they make for teens is such garb nowadays I guess :/
I so agree with you.
I honestly don’t mind Twilight. All the hate it receives is stupid and unwarranted. I liked the books and the movies equally. Yes – I’m secure in my manhood and will have words with ANYONE who says otherwise. So the majority of twilight fans were teenage girls. SO WHAT? So are you saying that age demographic should not have entertainment? What exactly is your gripe? I’ve asked that question I don’t know how many times, and I have YET to receive a “real” answer. Every single answer sounds the same – “I just don’t like it. It sucks. It’s for tween girls. The vampires walk around in the day time and they sparkle”. Seriously? For something to receive so much hate, one would expect a more sophisticated answer than that. What I love about the vampire fiction genre is that it is unique in that a million+ different takes can be used when writing vampire fiction or shooting a movie. And Twilight is Stephanie Meyers “take” on this great genre. I personally think the hate has nothing to do with the actual story and everything to do with its popularity. I think the haters (some of them actual established people in the entertainment world) are upset that a lot of people liked Twilight. Trust me when I say that tween girls are not the only people who read those books and see those movies. If you believe that then you really are lost. See a small amount of haters can sit back and talk smack all day about how something sucks but when that something has more fans and makes more money than the people decrying it, they start to look stupid. And when asked why they don’t like the something, all they can muster is “because another demographic other than me likes it” they start to look and sound even dumber than before.
Also, walking around in the day time is nothing new to vampire fiction. Stephanie Meyer didn’t start that. Listening to and believing all the hate Twilight gets, and one would think she did. Count Dracula did it, Nosferatu did it, Anne Rice’s Vampires did it, Laurell K. Hamilton’s vampires do it and countless other vampire stories have done that. But Stephanie Meyer gets blamed for “destroying Vampire fiction” because she does it? What gives? Oh that’s right – her vampires sparkle. Again – so what? It’s her take. That’s how SHE WANTED (which is her right as she’s the author – DUH) to deal with their translucency in daylight. Get over yourselves and get over it. The short answer for all you haters out there is to write your own damn vampire story and see how well you do. The long answer would take too much time to explain to your feeble minds as you’ve already proven you don’t know how to think outside the box.
I personally don’t like the new sub-genre of vampire fiction called zombie-vampire. I think it’s cheap and lazy story telling. But that’s my personal opinion. I’ll discredit the genre itself but what I won’t do is talk s$#! about the fans of that particular genre and/or hate on the authors of that type of vampire story. They have their reasons although I do think the zombie-vampire genre is a direct result of the hate towards Twilight’s popularity. And it had the reverse effect than what was intended.
A prime example of a mindless rant. Thanks, I needed a good laugh.
@ Dani – A prime example of a mindless person. Thanks. I also needed a good laugh.
Lame dude, LAME.
Btw I never called you mindless. Just your rant.
I have reasons for not like Twilight and they are not mentioned above.However, I won’t dignify your, again, mindless rant by telling you. Perhaps, if your rant was as sophisticated as Liquid Smoke’s…
No, actually you’re the lame one. In true liberal fashion, you mindlessly rant about my mindless rant. Not about the content of said rant. Just the way it was said/written. Typical. And then you have the unmitigated gall to retort back with liberal semantics. Truly priceless. If you had any legitimate reasons as to your dislike of Twilight, you would have posted them (as that is what the comments section of an article is for), but there are none (legitimate ones at least), so again, all you can do is mindlessly rant about someone’s mindless rant. Great job. You’re quite good at that.
LOL Sure. You go ahead tell yourself that, man.
What I find amazing is that you never find a lot of Twilight fans on these types of sites defending it (except for me of course, but I don’t really care what someone else thinks about something I like). What you do find is a bunch of haters. Whenever there’s an article released about Twilight, all you haters come out of the closet. If you hate it so much, why, in God’s name, are you reading an article about it? All of you are laughable at best and just sad at worst. I don’t like Heavy Metal music, soooo….. i don’t listen to it, I don’t buy Heavy metal music, magazines, etc. And I definitely don’t waste my time browsing the internet for Heavy Metal articles to troll and hate on. What a bunch of…..Oh whatever. You are too funny.
Your points are well made. Pride and Prejudice was a popular hit also in its day, as were all of Dickens.
Twilight is a modern Romeo and Juliet. There are archtypes for it. It touches the psyche on basic issues of commitment, friendship, conflict, family, etc.
One’s a bad actress. The other one is a bad writer.
Aww, HELL NO!!!! Let it DIE!!! PLEASE!!!!! Let that cinematic autopsy of American intelligence DIE!!!! O_o
No they don’t .
They need to completely redo the movies. recast Edward and Bella because Kristen and Robert ruin the movies
Please not another ‘Twilight’ movie! I disliked how Stephenie Meyers made it seem okay for older men to imprint on younger children like (Claire, Renesmee) and VAMPIRES DO NOT SPARKLE!
The movie would also not get alot of hits because the people who are reading them now, are growing out of it and it’ll be a long forgotten book when Stephenie Meyers decides to write another poorly thought out book.
Just… HELL NO!
In the movie they do sparkle and in real life they aren’t real so how would you know if they do or not and really I bet you could not right 4 books and have 5 movies out about something you wrote. So don’t talk about her books of movies
Thank you! I was going to say something to that effect.
Seriously, has this person ever seen a vampire in real life? No. So how do you know what they really do?
It’s MADE UP. Vampires, werewolves, etc are not real and can do whatever the hell the writer wants.
I seen vampires turn into bats and wolves. I seen them fly. I seen them ignore all their weaknesses. I seen them have blood affinities. Watch Dracula, Being Human, Twilight, Karin, Vampire Diaries, Buffy, Angel, Blade, and Interview with a vampire. They’re all different!
And why can’t vampires sparkle? I seen werewolves take various forms and personalities. I seen wolf men (The Wolfman), I seen regular sized wolf (Movie title unknown), I seen over sized sentient wolf monster that protects humans (Forgot movie title), I seen over sized sentient willful wolves that don’t change at full moon (Twilight).
If it don’t exist in real life you have every right to do what you want with it.
Imprinting: It’s not a choice. It’s like finding your soulmate. It’s not wrong for him to bond with and protect her. That’s not the definition of pedophilia. I’m 7 years younger than my man and we’re soulmates. If we would have met years ago we’d still be soulmates regardless of age. Would you gripe about our relationship? No. But fact is when he was 18 I was 11.
Sparkle: Really? Really? Really? Well, introduce me to a real vampire, then we’ll talk…
Personally i love the movies….but everyone has their own opinions id love to see it continue and to see what happens as renesme gets older in age……and to see if anything else goes with the voltury how ever you spell it…..im now 18 and twilight came out when i was 14 so i pretty much look forward to a new twilight every year
I think she should write more it a great book(s) and movies. I love them and if you wait 20 years no one will watch it or read it.i mean I’d be 32 when another book comes out. And Robert and Kristen would be a lot older and maybe look a lot different. So many people like both the movie and the books. It also would not be right to stop in the middle of the story you don’t even really know any thing about Jacob and renesmee. What every happens to them I mean Alice’s visions are not always correct.
Only if they were to do it in the next 5-6 years, that way thy cast would still be young enough for the roles, and that would be about the time Renesmee should fully mature. I wouldn’t mind a continuation on Jacob and Renesmee and the Volturi coming around to collect Alice and Bella for their gifts
I am a 52 year old woman and I’ll tell you this. I have read all the books more than once and I love all of them as well as all the movies. I think they were well written and the movies well done. If she would write another one showing what happens with Jacob and Renesmee I would look forward to that one as well. I agree all this hate stuff about twilight is ridiculous. If you don’t like it, don’t read it and don’t watch it.
I would like to see the twilight saga continue. I see renesme as a very wanted prize for the volturi. Jacob would seem to have a similar problem with Renesme as Edward had with Bella. It would be very interesting seeing Renesme grow up and i’m sure she would find humans interesting as they would her. How would she act if she found a human she liked. How would Jacob deal with that. I Wonder if she would want to develope her own quest for life? How could she use her talents and gifts?.How would Edward and Bella and their family feel if she was able to change their lives with unknown talents she may have or later develope? Would her children be game changers for the volturi? There is so much to invison here.
yes, I want them to make a new movie. they are so interesting and the breaking dawn 2 I thought it was amazing
MAKE MOREE!!!!!!
yess, another movie please I thought breaking dawn part 1 and 2 were excellent!! and I want to see renesmee’s and Jacobs future together. PLEASE MAKE MORE TWILIGHT MOVIES !!!!!!

I’ve been into the twilight saga sense it came out. I was about 9 or 10 then, and now I’m 15, ever sense I’ve been dreaming of these books I’ve read them over and over again and each time they get better. I love how they come to life in my head and they never get old. The movies were great they couldn’t have picked better people to play these rolls. I’ve read here sequel to “Eclipse” “The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner” this book was amazing. I’ve read the part of “Midnight Sun” she has on her website and I am really craving more. I even wish she would do all the books over from Edwards point of view, I mean how awesome would it be to see every thing that happens to then from the first site of Bella to the confrontation with the Voltori over Renesme. I got my mom and dad into the moves and they love them, my dad loves them so much he’s reading the books now. I don’t care what you haters have to say because I now for a fact that 95% of you haven’t seen or read the movies and books and you just hate on then cause you think there girly. You really shouldn’t put something down when you haven’t even given it a chance. I really, really, really want another book. I could care lees if there’s a movie because seriously the actors won’t look the same and no mater how much technology they use they won’t get the looks prefect. But a movie bringing it to life again would be amazing! I’m willing to fight in Stephanie’s corner for these books and movies because there her dream of what vampires should be and really I love this take on them. Thank you so much for these amazing books and movies and I really wish you would do all the books from Edwards perspective and give us some more of the Collins with Bella as a vampire and some more a Renesme and Jacob. Haters, Who cares if they sparkle, like serious that just awesome and I agree with Askanison40 make your own book if you don’t like them.
The trouble with continuing Twilight is the fear that one of the Cullen might die. That would spoil everything I love about Twilight. Forever means forever, a place of enchantment and triumph, where no one you love ever dies. This is not tragedy, it a feel-good love story, that gives you everything you want out of life vicariously. I want to hold on to that image/feeling of love and well-being forever. So I am content to let BD2 be the end. Exception: Bring back the original cast and let them live, love and triumph always.
I WANT MORE TWILIGHT!!!!!
I HAD NEVER SCEEN ANY OF THE TWILIGHT MOVIES UNTIL THE LAST ONE CAME OUT. MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS LAST MOVIE AND COULDN’T WAIT TO SEE IT. SHE GAVE ME THE FIRST 4 MOVIES TO WATCH FOR MYSELF TO SEE WHY SHE WAS SO EXCITED. AFTER WATCHING EACH MOVIE I COULDN’T WAIT TO GET TO SEE THE NEXT ONE. I WAS SO ENCHANTED BY THE CHARACTERS AND THE PLOT LINES I COULDN’T WAIT FOR THE LAST MOVIE TO COME OUT ON DVD. WHEN IT DID I WATCHED IT WITH SO MUCH ANTISIPATION AND YOU DIDN’T LET ME DOWN WITH THE LAST MOVIE AT ALL. I WATCH THESE MOVIES OVER AND OVER ALL THE TIME. EVERYTIME I WATCH THEM I SEE SOMETHING I DIDN’T CATCH THE LAST TIME. THEY ARE UP THERE WITH “GONE WITH THE WIND”, “CENTENNIAL”, ‘LONESOME DOVE”, AND ALL THE OTHER LOVE STORIES OF OUR PAST. I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING A CONTINUATION FOR JACOB AND RENISSMAE. I DON’T THINK ITS FAIR TO LEAVE US HANGING WITH THEIR FUTURE,DR AND MRS CULLEN, MORE OF EDWARD AND BELLA LOVE STORY SINCE HER CHANGE, ALICE AND JASPER DESERVE MORE OF A STORYLINE AS DOES ROSALEE AND EMMET, AND THE VOLTURE AS TO HOW THEY ARE GOING TO REACT TO THE LOVE BETWEEN JACOB AND RENESSMAE.
PLEASE MRS. MYERS SHOW US MORE OF YOUR BRILANT TALENT AND MAKE A “TWILIGHT SEQUEL”.
