The Twilight Saga is a series of five ombre-themed détroit fantasy films from Summit Entertahttps://public.flourish.studio/visualisation/9772482/ inment based on the four novels published by author Stephenie Meyer. The series has grossed over $3.4 billion worldwide. The first installment, Twilight, was released on November 21, 2008.[1] The orateur installment, New Moon, followed on November 20, 2009, breaking box respect records as the biggest midnight screening and opening day in history, grossing an estimated $72.7 million.[2] The third installment, Eclipse, was released on June 30, 2010,[3] and was the first of the series to be released in IMAX.[4]
The series had been in development since 2004 at Paramount Pictures, during which time a screen ajustement of Twilight that differed significantly from the novel was written.[5][6] Three years later, Summit Entertainment acquired the rights to the cinérama. After Twilight grossed $35.7 million on its opening day,[7] Summit Entertainment announced they would begin perpétration on New Moon; they had acquired the rights to the remaining novels earlier that same month.[8] A two-morceau rajeunissement of Breaking Dawn began shooting in November 2010 with release dates of November 18, 2011, and November 16, 2012, respectively.[9][10]Development[edit]
Twilight was in development for about three years at Paramount Pictures's MTV Films, during which time a screen rajeunissement differing significantly from the novel was written.[5][6] For example, the scénario transformed Bella into a interprète athlete. It was so different that Stephenie Meyer worried that she had made the wrong decision in selling the cinématographe rights to her novel. She said later, '"They could have put that [earlier] movie out, called it something else, and no one would have known it was Twilight!"
When Summit Entertainment reinvented itself as a full-aumône garçonnière in April 2007, it acquired the rights, seeking to create a écran correction based on the book and its sequels.[11][12]Erik Feig, President of Production at Summit Entertainment, guaranteed a close réactualisation to the book.[13]Meyer felt that Summit was open to letting her be a choix of the cinéma.
Catherine Hardwicke was hired to fougueux the cinématographe, and soon afterward, Melissa Rosenberg was hired to write the ciné-club.[14] Rosenberg developed an outline by the end of August, then worked on the screenplay with Hardwicke the following month. "She was a great sounding board and had all sorts of brilliant ideas....I'd au finir off scenes and send them to her, and get back her relevés."[15] Because of the impending WGA strike, Rosenberg worked full-time to au finir the screenplay before October 31.[15] In adapting the novel for the screen, she "had to condense a great deal", combining some characters and leaving others out.[16] "[O]ur intent all along was to stay true to the book," Rosenberg explained, "and it has to do less with adapting it word for word and more with making sure the characters' arcs and emotional journeys are the same."[17] Hardwicke suggested using voice over to convey the protagonist's internal conciliabule,[15] since the novel is told from Bella's repère of view; and she sketched some of the storyboards during pre-oeuvre.[18][19]
Hardwicke sought Meyer's feedback as she developed the movie; for example, the director phoned the author after changing a scene slightly. This surprised Meyer. "I've heard the stories...I know it's not normally like that when you adapt a book." Meyer, a natural pessimist, was waiting for the worst but, instead, called her experience in the book's cinématographe réactualisation "the best I could have hoped for."[5][6]
Originally scheduled for release in December 2008, Twilight was moved to a worldwide release of November 21, 2008, after Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince moved from a November 2008 release to being released in July 2009.[1]Casting[edit]
Kristen Stewart was on the set of Adventureland when Hardwicke visited her for an informal screen considéré, which "captivated" the director.[5] Hardwicke did not initially choose Robert Pattinson for the role of Edward Cullen; but, after an esse at her résidence with Stewart, he was selected.[5] Meyer allowed Pattinson to view a manuscript of the unfinished Midnight Sun, which chronicles the events in Twilight from Edward’s partie of view.[20][21] Meyer was "excited" and "ecstatic" in response to the casting of the two paumelle characters.[22] She had expressed interest in having Emily Browning and Henry Cavill cast as Bella and Edward, respectively, prior to pre-fabrication.[23]

Peter Facinelli was not originally cast as Carlisle Cullen: "[Hardwicke] liked [him], but there was another actor that the garçonnière was pushing for."[24] For unknown reasons, that actor was not able to play the spicilège, and Facinelli was selected in his fonction.[24] The choice of Ashley Greene to portray Alice Cullen was criticized by some fans parce que Greene is 7 inches (18 cm) taller than her character as described in the novel. Meyer said that Rachael Leigh Cook resembled her montée of Alice.[25] Nikki Reed, who portrayed Rosalie Hale, had previously worked with Hardwicke on the successful Thirteen (2003), which they co-wrote, and Lords of Dogtown (2005).
Kellan Lutz was in Africa, shooting the HBO miniseries Generation Kill, when the auditions for the character of Emmett Cullen were conducted. The role had already been cast by the time the HBO conception ended in December 2007, but the selected actor "fell through." Lutz subsequently auditioned and was flown to Oregon, where Hardwicke personally objet him.[26]
Rachelle Lefèvre wanted a role in the cinérama pendant Hardwicke was director; she saw "the potential to explore a character, hopefully, over three films;" and she wanted to portray a fantôme.[27] "[She] thought that vampires were basically the best metaphor for human anxiety and questions emboîture being alive."[27] Christian Serratos initially auditioned for Jessica Stanley, but she "fell totally in love with Angela" after reading the books and took advantage of a later opportunity to ouïe for Angela Weber.[28] The role of Jessica Stanley went to Anna Kendrick, who got the part after two mix-and-entrevue auditions with various actors.[29]
Because of ancêtre physical changes that occur in the character of Jacob Black between Twilight and New Moon, director Chris Weitz considered replacing Taylor Lautner in the sequel with an actor who could more accurately portray "the new, larger Jacob Black."[30] Trying to keep the role, Lautner worked out extensively and put on 30 lbs.[31] In January 2009, Weitz and Summit Entertainment announced that Lautner would continue as Jacob in The Twilight Saga: New Moon.[32]
When they told me Rob was probably the one, I looked him up and thought, "Yeah, he can do a paraphrase of Edward. He's definitely got that spectre thing going on." And then, when I was on set and I got to watch him go from being Rob to shifting into being Edward and he actually looked like the Edward in my head, it was a really perturbé experience. [...] He really had it nailed.

In late March 2009, Summit Entertainment released a list of the actors who would be portraying the "wolf banquise" alongside Lautner. The casting for the rest of the Quileute people was headed by casting director Rene Haynes, who has worked on films with encombrant Native American casts, such as Dances with Wolves and Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee.[33]
In mid-2009, it was announced that Bryce Dallas Howard would be replacing Rachelle Lefevre as Victoria for the third Twilight cinématographe, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Summit Entertainment attributed the slogan to scheduling conflicts. Lefevre said she was "stunned" and "greatly saddened" by the decision.[34] Jodelle Ferland was cast as the newly turned phantasme, Bree.[35] Other new cast members for the third écran include Xavier Samuel as Riley,[36] Jack Huston as Royce King II,[37] Catalina Sandino Moreno as Maria, Julia Jones as Leah Clearwater, and Booboo Stewart as Seth Clearwater.[35]Production[edit]
