[spoiler]ABS-CBN denies doing local version of "Twilight" Jocelyn Dimaculangan Monday, December 29, 2008 06:02 PM For several days now, bloggers have been abuzz about the supposed local version of Twilight that will be topbilled by Rayver Cruz and Shaina Magdayao. Rumors stated that ABS-CBN would be doing a local version of the vampire story and that it would be called Takipsilim. The rights of the so-called TV version was said to have been bought by ABS-CBN for over US$1 million with Ignite Media as co-producer. It even stated that the taping would begin by February 2009 with locations such as Baguio, Tagaytay, Bukidnon and even abroad. Cathy Garcia Molina is listed as the director of the fictitious TV show that would have starred Rayver as the 107-year old vampire Edward Cullen and Shaina as the human teenager Bella Swan. The unofficial list of cast members also included names such as Valeen Montenegro as Alice Cullen, Gabby Concepcion as Dr. Carlisle Cullen, Luis Manzano as Emmett Cullen, Al Tantay as Charlie Swan, Yayo Aguila as Renee Dwyer, Fred Payawan as Jacob Black, Carlos Agassi as James, Chin Chin Gutierrez as Esme Cullen, Karylle as Rosalie Hale, Joross Gamboa as Jasper Hale, Jessy Mendiola as Jessica Stanley, Empress Schuck as Angela Weber, Brad Murdoch as Laurent, Nikki Bacolod as Victoria, and Aaron Villaflor as Mike Newton. Fans reacted negatively to the "press release" of Takipsilim that was published by the website of ABS-CBN and also mentioned by Hollywood blogger Perez Hilton. Enraged fans even put up an online petition asking the Kapamilya Network to not push through with the plan of doing a Filipino version of the film, which is based on a novel written by Stephenie Meyer. To date, there are over 7,600 entries in the "Say no to Twilight, Filipino Version!" petition. In a text message sent earlier today to PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal), ABS-CBN Corporate Communications head Bong Osorio denied that the Kapamilya Network is in the process of making a TV version of the first installment of the Twilight series. "There is no truth to the web reports that ABS-CBN is doing a local adaptation of Twilight. ABS-CBN will be the first to announce if it is in fact doing so."[/spoiler] yeah! i also know about this info. but thanks a lot james. cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeers!
