Based on Stephenie Meyer’s popular Twilight novel, Catherine Hardwick’s film adaptation is all set to premiere on November 17th in Los Angeles. On November 23rd the film will then hit theatres all across the USA, at which point fans of all ages are bound to flock to see it.
The film is likely to be greeted with mixed reviews, there are many massive fans of the series and as such there are always likely to be discrepancies between the film and the novel which fans will not appreciate. Casting is also an issue, when you read a well written novel you often get a very clear picture in your mind of what you feel the characters should look like and how they’d likely behave; personal interpretation is key here and a film adaptation will therefore never please all. Ultimately there is huge hysteria amongst many however, and regardless of reviews a huge box office opening weekend is to be expected.
As the release date draws ever closer great excitement is building, Twilight fans all across the world are eager to see how it all pans out on film and excited to see the key protagonists in action. With the novels, Stephenie Meyer’s characterization of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen was always excellent; will Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson be able to put this across so strongly on film though? It’s not long now until we all find out.
