ABS-CBN to Do a Local Adaptation of Twilight

Twilight, the movie adaptation of the best-selling novel by Stephanie Meyer, has earned more than Php180 million to be the no. 1 Hollywood movie at the Philippines Box Office for 2008.

The success of the movie doesn’t end there. ABS-CBN recently announced that it bagged the exclusive rights to make a local television series based on the best-selling vampire novels of Stephanie Meyer.

According to reports, ABS-CBN acquired the rights for 1 million US Dollars, or around Php48 million pesos, with co-producer Ignite Media for the local tv version of the series.

Local version will have a tentative titled “Takipsilim” (the tagalog word for Twilight), and will star Rayver Cruz and Shaina Magdayao.

Taping for the series will start February under the direction of Cathy Garcia-Molina.
