Could Twilight Continue With A New Storyline?

Could Twilight Continue With A New Storyline?

Twilight: Breaking Dawn, Part 2 is the last film in the amazingly successful saga. Or is? Summit Entertainment's new boss -- Lionsgate -- is saying, not so fast with the death knell.

Everyone knows that Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are ready to move on to bigger and better things. But does that have to mean a funeral for the popular movie series?

"It's hard for me to imagine a movie that does $700 million-plus doesn't have an ongoing value," says Lionsgate CEO, Jon Feltheimer. In fact he thinks the series about the undead still has plenty of life left.

"It's an amazing franchise and they have done a great job maintaining with absolutely no deterioration," says Feltheimer. For that reason, he thinks the saga still has somewhere to go.

Jackson Rathbone, a star of the popular series, admits he's heard a few rumors. He says there's talk of visiting some of the character's back stories. However, he's also heard rumblings about exploration into other media as well.

Asked about the recent one-night Twilight musical, Rathbone had this to say. "I want to see it. I want to be in the audience and laugh." He went on to say he'd love to see how they handled Jasper on stage and what a solo for that character might consist of. "I'm sure probably something about being hungry," he laughed.

Twilight fans have divided feelings about the musical parody. Some are taking it all in good fun, while others think it is a disrespectful attempt to put down the movies. However, it does one thing well. It keeps the Twilight name out there, gaining more buzz and interest. That's a good thing if the Lionsgate is serious about continuing the saga in some way.
