Twilight Movie will be a Pinoy TV Series, c/o ABS-CBN
The most anticipated and disappointing film of 2008 will be brought to Philippine TV screen as ABS-CBN gets the exclusive rights to turn the Stephenie Meyer’s classic into a local TV series.
ABS-CBN teamed up with Ignite Media, which according to rumors shelled out US$1 million for the exclusive rights. The vampire soap opera will tentatively be starred by Rayver Cruz and Shaina Magdayao. It will be entitled “Takipsilim,” a rough Filipino translation of Twilight.
The series will start shooting this February 2009. It will be shot in Tagaytay, Bukidnon and Baguio and probably other parts of the globe. Takipsilim will be under the direction of Cathy Garcia-Molina, our Mangarap Ka (Piolo Pascual) director.

why is it that someone release a new set of cast from GMA?? Did GMA also shelled out with the same amount or higher?? CAN THEY AFFORD??hahaha they releases a very odd casts.
Alice – Chynna Ortaleza
Emmett – Paolo Contis
Bella (pronounced “Belya”) – Heart Evangelista
Edward – Richard Gutierrez
Rosalie – Katrina Halili
Jasper – Boy 2 Quizon
Charlie – Christopher de Leon (don’t you think their facial hair match?)
Carlisle & Esme – Albert Martinez (who’ll need to drink up loads of MET for the role) & Dawn Zulueta
Victoria – Marian Rivera
Jacob Black – Rainier Castillo (he can pull off the werewolf-ish smile)
James – Jake Cuenca (just look at those killer abs. Haha!)
Laurent – Thou Reyes of I Love Betty La Fea
THis project wont work if these cast will play those DIFFICULT roles.. it looks like that set of cast doesnt have enough experience. I’d rather be with the first cast. shaina with rayver. rather than RICHARD with HEART.
pls. give me your reaction..

utang na loob! i’m not a twilight fan but the fact that some of us pinoys would like to have our own version of it, it’s so pathetic. whether it’s abs or gma who’s gonna do it, please have some originality.
by the way, i read the link and i must say that i agree with the author.
haaayyy..

how original. cant abs-cbn or gma come up with original ideas? i think if they make a filipino version of twilight, it would destroy the literature Stephenie Meyer created. i hope they wont pull through with this idea. or else me and alot of filipino twilight fans would riot in edsa. sisirain talaga ang twilight. di nalang nagisip maglagay ng subtitles. nakakahiya naman. wala ba silang original na maisip? gumawa nalang sila ng movie na noli. maspapanuorin ko pa yon

hindi naman sa sang.ayon ako sa takipsilim, pero pinapaliliit niyo lang lalo ang tingin ng ibang tao sa atin, mga pilipino.
sa akin lang, bakit bah kayo galit na galit sa kanila eh tumangkilik naman tayo sa libro at sa palabas na gawa ng ibang bansa.mas nakakahiya tayo dahil mismong mga dayuhan ang kinakampihan natin..
palagay ko lang, nais lang sana siguro ng abs/(whichever networt it has been) na gawin/ itranslate ang twilight sa sariling wika dahil sa gusto nila, na tayong pilipino ay matangkilik ang sariling atin. sobra2x ang pag tangkilik natin sa mga banyaga na hindi iniisip ang sarilng bansa.
hindi naman sa sang.ayon ako dito pero isipin niyo rin ang side ng iba/ng abs-cbn.
bakit ba ginagawa nila ito? dahil lang sa gusto nila tayong maaliw sa sariling industriya.
the books also were translated to different languages. so wag niyong sabihin na kakahiya tayo. gingawa lang namn ng abs kung anong sa tingin nila ang maka pagpapasaya sa atin.
whats the big deal with takipsilim? is this the first tym that filipinos copy foreign movies or whatsoever.??
marami rin namang palabas ang pilipino na sinalin lang galing sa ibang bansa na tinangkilik natin..
anong kaibahan ng twilight??
dahil sikat siya?
hahaha.. hindi naman sa wala tayong originality, humahanga lang naman tayo kaya isinalin nila ang twilight.
bakit niyo ba ikinikumpara ang mga pilipino sa kanila..
rayver is always rayver. and can never be RObert.
and definitely you can never be me nor anyone else. each one of us have our own capacity that can never be compared to others. mga kambal nga iba-iba ang ugali. tayo pa kaya icompara sa englis?
hahaha..
thats the time that we should be ashamed of ourselves.
hindi nlng sana takipsilim kung ang gaganap lang naman ay sina robert parin.
think about it!
don’t worry. ABS CBN already denies it.
napilitang dideny dahil sa maraming ayw!

well at least i understand why it is translated to other languages.. it’s so other people can understand the book, just lyk other books!
but this whole thing abt the production of takipsilim isnt acceptable, cuz theyre being a copycat.
kase, theyre not just changing the language, but theyre also changing alot’a things, lyk hmmm…idk..the actors/actress, MAYBE?

hoy natasha!
kaya lang nila pinoproduce ung book in different languages is because they want many other people to undertsnd the book..
and my god, it would be a very big insult to robert pattinson if rayver cruz will play thhe part of edward in the so-called “takipsilim”…
it’s very frustrating because people around the world think that filipinos are copy cats beacuse they cannot produce their own shows without getting ideas frm otrhers..
and hindi ako pinapasaya nang ABS-CBN sa mag ginagawa nila!!!!!!!!!

Sana wag na lang twilight kasi kakabili lang naman nila ng betty la fea di naman na papanood sa tfc.
Why not instead of Twilight ay gawin na lang nila ang Book 2 ng LOBO.
At least original pa……….
Please Book 2 na lang ng LOBO.

let’s give the brightest minds of Filipinos a chance to produce a series which is known abroad!
ABSCBN did a very good choice of making a Filipino version…coycat issue nowadays is the reality but do we copy all?! no… syempre, there’s that credibility in us to change some things…it would be a big hit coz of the cast and of the director!

Sana naman wag nalang matuloy ang pinoy version kasi pinoys??hindi naman nagagya lahat ng sa original movie eh..tapos wala namang babagay na Filipino Actress at Actor na pwedeng ihanay sa Original cast ng Twilight,, wag naman sana gayahin,gumawa nalang ng ibang novel..Hindi naman kaya ng Filipino budget ng Effects ng Twilight eh!sayang at masisira ang view ng tao sa Twilight..Ambisyon talaga ng mga Pilipino ang gayahin ang story ng mga sikat na foreign movies, gagayahin ang umpisa, iba na pagkatapos ang takbo ng story,, nasisira na ang original, iba kasi ang takbo ng isip ng pinoy! VERY COMPLICATED NA,,GUGULO PA ANG STORY!!
