Twilight will come early for eager fans awaiting the movie's release this fall. The movie, based on one of the best selling book, TWILIGHT was originally supposed to come out December 12. But in the wake of the movie, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," changing dates to next year, "Twilight" was moved up three weeks to be released November 21st. a pre-thanksgiving premiere date.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was moved to July 17, 2009. This is Warner Bros.' decision, and it was not motivated by anything "'Twilight'-related," wrote Twilight author Stephenie Meyer on her Web site Friday.
"Though we're all sad to have to wait for 'Harry Potter,' this open spot at the theater creates a cool opportunity. "The good people at Summit [the movie studio] were thrilled to let me know that now Twilight fans are going to get their movie three weeks earlier than scheduled. "Based on first book, The movie is based on the first installment in the teen phenomenon series, which is dominating four out of the top five spots on USA Today's best-seller list for the past two weeks. The books, using such locations as Forks and LaPush, tell the stories of human teen Bella Swan and her dashing vampire boyfriend Edward Cullen. When the star-crossed couple meets, adventure and romance ensue. The newest in the series — Breaking Dawn — which was released Aug. 2, soared to the top of the best-seller list. Twilight, the first book in the series by Stephenie Meyer, was fourth. New Moon, the second in the series, was fifth, and Eclipse was second. Only the supernatural thriller Acheron by Sherrilyn Kenyon interrupted the series' showing on the USA Today list, based on sales at selected bookstores nationwide.
Nothing filmed in Forks, although none of the movie was filmed in Forks — locations in the Portland, Ore., area were substituted — director Catherine Hardwicke visited the West End several times. But the Twilight saga continues to be a draw for fans from throughout the nation and world. While juggling the 100-or-so visitors a day, the Forks Chamber of Commerce is planning a tribute event Sept. 13, which is Bella's birthday in Twilight. The town is expecting hundreds, if not thousands, of fans to show up on that Saturday to celebrate the officially proclaimed "Stephenie Meyer Day." However, Meyer isn't expected to be one of them.
