I sincerely hope not. Movies based on books generally are terribly disappointing and rarely live up to expectations. Pax - C

Twilight the Movie
Twilight has been optioned for a movie. This means that MTV Films, Paramount, and Maverick Films have, as a group, bought the right to consider making Twilight into a film. At the moment, they are in their first option period. When that period runs out (this January, I believe) they can either: renew the option (for one more 18 months period), buy the rights, or let the rights come back to me (in which case I would be free to sell the rights to another studio and/or group of studios). I hear only twenty percent of books that get optioned ever make it to the theatre, but I'm really hoping Twilight will be one to beat the odds. So far, the studio seems to be serious about it—last I heard they were on their second script revision (Mark Lord is writing the script).
***Update: As of January 25th, 2006, MTV Films, Paramount and Maverick have renewed the option! This means that they have until April of 2008 to buy the rights to the story. Usually (as it was explained to me), a production company will buy the rights when they begin principle filming, which means all kinds of exciting stuff might possibly happen between now and then. Things like finished scripts and casting and picking a director! I will keep you updated on any news I get about the movie!***

So far, no one knows if there will be a movie. It's still being decided on. Though, I really hope there won't be because no matter how good the actors are or the special effects, it will most likely be very disappointing compared to the book.

I absolutely love the book and New Moon as well. However, I fear that if a movie is made out of it, then it will be very disappointing because it will be unable to capture the pure amazingness of the story. Plus, there's no-one hott enough to play Edward.
Although Brad Pitt would have to play Carlisle. I've always pictured Carlisle as looking similar to Brad Pitt.

It's been optioned and i think it will be a movie made in 2008 or something like that. But I really really really hope so. And "Uncle Jesse from Full House" may be playing Laurent.

There will be a Twilight movie! Unfortunately, Uncle Jesse or something from Full House will be playing Edward. Look him up on Google Image search, and you will see why I said "unfortunately".

i hope so! i love that book! it's so amazingly put together.
the only thing i'm worried about is how the movie makers will put it together. they might exaggerate or leave important parts. or they might just completely change the whole story but still be based on it.
