Plus, Pattinson's feelings on making the series are as.mixed as readers' response to Midnight Sun. His career is in a much different place than his pre- Twilight days, when Cedric Diggory was the biggest role on his resume. Following critical acclaim for roles in The Lighthouse and the Safdie Brother's Good Time, Pattinson's put on the ol' cape to play emo Batman in Matt Reeves's upcoming The Batman. Robert Pattinson is Batman now.and notoriously dislikes Twilight.īoth Stewart and Pattinson's careers have ascended to new heights since the final Twilight Saga installment, 2012's Breaking Dawn Part 2. A constant moody voice-over would get old fast. Then there's the question of how the same story could be retold onscreen in a way that conveys that it's from Edward's perspective, in a way that feels fresh and new. That said, given the sheer volume of copies sold in the first month of release alone (even Amazon and Bookshop have had trouble keeping it in stock), it's safe to assume all parties involved have been flooded with requests-including Meyers and her publisher, Little, Brown, and Company. Will there be a Twilight Midnight Sun movie, or not?Īs of September 2020, no plans for a Midnight Sun adaptation have been announced. Regardless, Meyer's mythology remains compelling enough to turn even the most over-examining critic into a Twihard, and we need to see Midnight Sun realized on the big screen (the Forks-set story in question, of course, not the 2018 Bella Thorne vehicle of the same name). Like the entries that preceded it, some fan reactions to Midnight Sun illuminate the arguably problematic aspects of Edward and Bella's inter-generational love story the universe that Meyer's created contains enough complicated material to fuel an entire subgenre of academic study debating whether Bella's story is, or is in fact not, feminist. Over 100 million copies of the modern-classic vampire books have flown off the shelves worldwide since the first installment's arrival in 2005, spawning five blockbuster Twilight Saga films. But given how many years it's been since Breaking Dawn Part 2hit theaters, will there be a Midnight Sun movie? Another crucial question: Would the sixth film's cast still feature Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, aka the only Bella Swan and Edward Cullen we want? Given the original's success, the fact that Midnight Sun-Stephenie Meyer's long-awaited alt version of Twilight, told from the perspective of sparkly vampire Edward Cullen- sold 1 million copies in its first week of publication should surprise no one.
