Twilight fans<\/a> will soon be able to relive their Team Edward vs. Team Jacob days in the theater, as the hit franchise is set to be re-released in time for hoa-hoa-hoa season (autumn).<\/a><\/p>\n

Lionsgate announced Thursday that the entire Twilight movie franchise<\/a> will be re-entering the movie theaters<\/a> in October. <\/p>\n

Starting October 29, select movie theaters across the U.S., through Fathom Entertainment, will be showing each film in the franchise for five consecutive days. <\/p>\n

Each screening will also be accompanied by interviews with the author of the book series of the same name, Stephenie Meyer, and the film\u2019s producers as they discuss \u201cnew behind-the-scenes stories and untold moments\u201d from filming the hit Kristen Stewart-led franchise. <\/p>\n

Fans of the franchise have come to refer to autumn as \u201choa-hoa-hoa\u201d season<\/a> due to the films\u2019 setting in the rainy town of Forks, Washington, which provided sweeping shots of fog-shrouded pine trees and grey skies. <\/p>\n

The \u201choa hoa hoa\u201d term stems from the refrain in the song \u201cEyes on Fire\u201d by the band Blue Foundation, included in the first film\u2019s soundtrack.<\/p>\n

Each day will feature a different movie on the big screen, with Twilight being shown on October 29, The Twilight Saga: New Moon on October 30, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse on October 31, Breaking Dawn: Part 1 on November 1, and Breaking Dawn: Part 2 on November 2.<\/p>\n

Twilight, the first film of the franchise, adapted from Meyer\u2019s best-selling vampire-fantasy romance novels<\/a>, was released in November 2008 and starred Stewart and Robert Pattinson in their breakout roles as star-crossed lovers Bella Swan and Edward Cullen. Its release was considered a box office success, grossing $470 million globally.<\/p>\n

In June 2009, the second movie, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, debuted. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse followed in 2010, with Breaking Dawn: Part 1 and Breaking Dawn: Part 2 releasing in 2011 and 2012, respectively.<\/p>\n

The five-film franchise, known as the Twilight Saga, became a cultural phenomenon and raked in a total of $3 billion worldwide.<\/p>\n

The news of the films returning to theaters comes one year after it was confirmed that Netflix was developing an animated series<\/a> based on Meyer\u2019s Midnight Sun, a companion novel to her first Twilight book. Published in 2020, the book retells the events in Twilight from the perspective of Edward.<\/p>\n

Meyer will serve as an executive producer on the show. A release date has yet to be announced.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on the franchise\u2019s success last October, Anna Kendrick, who starred as Bella\u2019s friend Jessica Stanley<\/a>, told Business Insider: \u201cThe fans of those books are so invested that even if you came into the franchise really late and you had one line, but you were playing a vampire or a werewolf, they\u2019re obsessed with you. They\u2019re picking apart every detail of your costume and your gestures and whatever.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ray Nutt, chief executive officer, Fathom Entertainment, said in a statement on the screenings: \u201cTwilight fans are some of the most passionate anywhere, making this iconic movie franchise the epitome of a modern-day classic which Fathom Entertainment is thrilled to help bring back to the big screen in this special cinematic engagement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith our partners at Lionsgate, we celebrate 20 years since Stephenie Meyer\u2019s first Twilight book was published and encourage fans to relish The Twilight Saga.\u201d<\/p>\n

Warner Music Group is also planning to rerelease the Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse movie soundtracks on 31 October, while the first-ever national tour, Twilight in Concert, will play in 60 cities across the US from September 12 to November 30.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":101210,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[96,2839,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-101209","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101209","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=101209"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101209\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/101210"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=101209"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=101209"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=101209"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
