You better get ready for some shipping wars, because Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight is apparently getting another adaptation, this time an animated series.
Considering the first Twilight film is now more than a decade old, there’s a good chance a lot of you don’t really remember how intense people got about that series. I do – it was my first encounter with shipping wars, people were truly in the trenches arguing over Team Jacob or Team Edward. And now it seems like we’ll be receiving another dose of that energy, as Variety reported yesterday that Lionsgate is working on a Twilight animated series. This comes from vice chairman of the production company Michael Burns, who during a Q&A at the Morgan Stanley media conference said “We’re going to go out with the ‘Twilight’ series, an animated series, I think there’ll be a lot of interest in that.”
A Twilight TV series has actually been in the works for a little while now, at least as far back as April last year, so it seems like the show has evolved into an animated production. Honestly, given the fantasy element of the books, it’s not a half bad idea, and with anime as popular as it is these days it makes sense to follow what the kids are after. Literally nothing else has been revealed about the animated series, though, so I wouldn’t expect it to release for quite a while.
