Filipino fans of Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" series will soon have another reason to celebrate after broadcasting giant ABS-CBN bagged the exclusive rights to make a local television series based on the vampire novels.
Initial reports said ABS-CBN paid $1 million with co-producer Ignite Media for the rights to the Twilight series.
The new series, tentatively titled "Takipsilim", will reunite the onscreen tandem of Rayver Cruz and Shaina Magdayao.
Taping for the series will start February of 2009. Some parts of the series will be shot abroad and the other locations include Tagaytay, Bukidnon and Baguio. The series will be directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina.
NO FUCKING WAY ARE WE FANS HAPPY AND EXCITED ABOUT IT!!!
How dare they?! What the hell are they thinking? and how could they let the Philippines have the right to make a series out of it?! The movie was already crappy for me and then they let Filipinos make a series out of it?! TRASH!!!!! And to think that Robert Pattinson didn't even pass as Edward Cullen. What makes Rayver Cruz worthy enough?!
Other people might wonder why am I so frustrated and angry about this. Shouldn't I be happy and proud that my country is going to make a television series of one of the best novels of this time? DEFINITELY NOT! NEVER! I am even ashamed that some of my fellowmen are even participating in this outrageous project! They will only make matters worse. I know this is sooo unlike me, judging something which I haven't fully seen nor heard yet. But the thought of Filipinos making a series of a world wide famous series will just be an embarrasment.
Last but not the least... the title of the upcoming Filipino Twilight Series... "TAKIPSILIM".
OMFG! Are they kidding me? It sounded like an X-rated film or a porn movie (only those who understand tagalog will be able to relate about this issue).
This is not only my opinion. I've heard other fans, especially Filipino fans who are totally against this blasphemy. Of course some fans like me would still watch it... for the sake of knowing on what kinds of torture are we going to unleash at the producers and how much paper mache tomatoes are we going to throw at them!
Right now, I am having murderous intentions. My Christmas was suddely destroyed by this turn of events.

Of course, I know that already but... ya know... I didn't quite realise just how passionate you were about it.
Anyhoo, I guess I'd be the same if I saw some dumbass low budget flick of a book that I had read and enjoyed.
