Disney Is Rumored To Buy The Rights To Twilight…Really?
We’re not so sure about this, so we’re going to warn you all to take this as the rumor that it is, but we found it interesting and wanted to share!
The rumor is that Disney wants to acquire the rights to the Twilight books and turn them into movies. Why you ask? Well, Disney has realized how poorly the first film actually represented the book by Stephenie Meyer. Disney has supposedly said that they will pay $1 billion for the rights and will work alongside Stephenie to represent the series in the way she intended – which is not what happened in the Twilight movie that released recently.
Disney claims it can spend this kind of money on the movie, because it will make all the money back, plus more in the box office. The original Twilight movie was a major failure, but only in terms of how good it was, not by any means in terms of how much money it made (because we all know it made a lot!).
Oh yea, and the other rumor floating around is that the movie would star Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers (yea right!). We can’t picture that at all! Twilight is aimed at a different audience than Miss Miley or the JB’s usually reach, and we’re pretty sure most of Miley’s fans have never read the Twilight series.
While we don’t mind the idea of Disney re-making the recently released Twilight movie, we do mind seeing Miss Miley and the JoBro’s in it. We’d rather some lesser known Disney stars. Maybe Lucas Grabeel and Debby Ryan? Or heck, maybe even Zac and Vanessa…now that we think about it, that would be hot!
Anyway, Disney says that the only way to represent the movie accurately is to make two movies per book (8 movies!). That would turn the Twilight series into the next Harry Potter for sure! Maybe that’s Disney’s goal? Disney would also make money off of creating merchandise for the movies, which we all know they would drag out and release over a 16 year period. That would mean a lot of moola for the mouse.
Rumor or not, do you think this would be a good idea for Disney?

Ha Ha!!! lol! This is soooo not going to happen!! It’s not that I’m opposed to it, it’s just absolutely ludacris!!! So funny!! “Twilight: New Moon” is already in the making. Disney might buy the rights but they won’t be doing any re-making anytime soon!! “Twilight” didn’t bomb that bad; in fact over half of the viewers loved it! It has a huge following!! Disney won’t be re-making anytime soon!!!
yeahh twilight was an amazing movie
also i dont think thats its disneys kinda film
if you have seen disney films characters only kiss once and its at the very end and its not a full frontal kissin scene like in this
its not their type of movie anyway and twilight was a great movie
i am a miley cyrus fan n would love to read these books which i am doin after exams
just becuase people are fans or miley dont mean that they are only fans or certain things
No!!!!!!!!!! I will not let disney do it. Especially when they put miley cyrus to play the role as laurel in wings. disney sux butt!
No that is so not going to happen! I cannot imagine Twilight taken over by Disney. Summit is doing fine with the Twilight Saga being turned into movies. I love the Twilight Series and Disney. But I cannot imagine any Disney star wanting to take the part in Twilight.
Yeah, this is pure fiction.
If this is true, Twilight will be the best thing ever, to me atleast.
I think it would be perfect! Imagine this as the new Pirates series. Dark, fantastic, and much closer to the book. It should be a movie for adults. I’m currently re-re-re-reading Twilight and the Summit film falls drastically short of the drama and romance involved. Plus, Kristen Stewart really didn’t act well in it at all.
…But please get some decent actors. Zac Efron I could see as a potential Edward, but you dare put Jonas brothers as Cullens and I quit. Miley is not right for this.
