Nick Jonas told MTV, "The movie was obviously a huge success, and if they asked us to be a part of [the sequel], that would be great. It would be really cool."MTV: JoBros Want To Be... (February 11, 2009)Twilight Film Franchise
- The producers behind the Twilight movie have also acquired the rights to the all the sequels, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn.
- Melissa Rosenberg, the Twilight screenwriter, will also adapt New Moon and Eclipse but the screenwriter for Breaking Dawn has not been confirmed.THR: Twilight Film Franchise Looks Ahead (November 14, 2008)
Box Office Prediction
- "I would caution fans about taking the acquisition of the three other books as a commitment to making the films. Should the first film fail to meet financial expectations, the studio is likely to tread very carefully going forward. And with Summit Entertainment being a relatively young and small studio, they can't afford for Twilight to fail and still push forward with sequels.Moral of the story for Twilight fans: you'd better deliver the dollars or Edward and Bella's on-screen romance will be very short lived."FilmSchoolRejects: Twilight Sequels Already Headed for the Typewriter (November 14, 2008)
