Twilight Prequel Movie Gets Perfect Story Premise From Star

by

In a fresh take on the topic, Jackson Rathbone, a key actor from the initial films, proposed an intriguing plot concept for a potential Twilight prequel. This beloved series, which unfolded over four blood-sucking romantic drama movies between 2008 and 2012, centered around the captivating love story between human Bella Swan and vampire Edward Cullen, portrayed by Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart respectively.

10 years have passed since “Breaking Dawn Part 2,” the last Twilight movie premiered, and during this time fans have been hopeful about a return to the franchise on the big screen, but so far nothing substantial has materialized. Now, approximately 13 years later, one of the series’ main actors has proposed an idea for the next film in the Twilight saga.

As a devoted Twilight enthusiast, I had the privilege of addressing fellow fans during the “Meet the Cullens” panel at FanExpo Canada, through Collider. In that moment, standing amongst my kin, I couldn’t help but voice my fervent wish for a fresh installment in the Twilight saga, a prequel movie that would further explore the captivating world of the Cullens.

Rathbone expressed his strong desire to the audience, stating, “It’s truly what I wish for, to have Jasper’s story brought to life.” He also mentioned with a touch of whimsy, “If they could make me younger again, that would be delightful.

It’s my heartfelt desire to witness Jasper’s tale unfold, and if we possess the technological capability to de-age me, I believe it would make for a delightful experience.

He additionally noted that he’d be willing to hand over the responsibility, should a fresh group of vampire-sporting stars express interest, to manage the upcoming chapters in the Twilight universe.

Rathbone commended the Twilight series for its fundamental ideas, suggesting that it is essentially a tale about discovering self-love by seeing oneself through someone else’s perspective.

To me, this tale embodies the journey towards redemption, the act of finding compassion, and the process of loving oneself by seeing oneself through the eyes of others. It’s an enchanting journey indeed.

In wrapping up, although he expressed a desire to delve into how Jasper’s character originated in the initial Twilight movie, he added, “not every detail needs to be shown on-screen.” Engaging our imagination about the character’s potential adventures is equally entertaining.

Not every detail about a character needs to be shown on screen. It’s beneficial to foster imagination and understand that characters can have hidden pasts or potential for redemption, even if we don’t know the exact details.

For over 13 years, no new films have been released in the Twilight movie series since the debut of Breaking Dawn Part 2 in 2012. However, fans have received occasional additional content set within the Twilight universe, such as Stephanie Meyer’s revisits to the vampire-romance theme through Life and Death (a reinterpretation of the original Twilight story with Edward and Bella’s roles reversed) and Midnight Sun (a retelling of Twilight from Edward’s perspective).

Will Twilight Ever Return to Movie Theaters

Ever since the final movie in the Twilight series was released in cinemas, fans have been eagerly anticipating more of Stephanie Meyer’s renowned vampire romance on the big screen.

Unlike other popular franchises such as Harry Potter and Hunger Games that have resurfaced with new projects following their original film series, Twilight has stayed relatively quiet or secluded in its return.

Over the years, various tidbits regarding a possible new “Twilight” film have been shared, with Lionsgate studios expressing interest in developing an original sequel at one time or another. However, so far, there has been no concrete progress made on this project.

The most recent hint fans received regarding a potential new Twilight series was dropped during an episode of Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast in 2023 (according to People). During that broadcast, one of the first Twilight movie’s co-writers, Catherine Hardwicke, expressed her desire for a reboot featuring Jenna Ortega and Jacob Elordi as the main characters. Nonetheless, no formal announcement has been made yet.

At the moment, Twilight enthusiasts will need to satiate their appetite with a couple of new novels penned by Meyer. The announcement about these additional Twilight tales was made back in 2020; however, the exact release dates have not been specified yet. What’s certain is that they are on their way.
