The Twilight saga is back (but on TV)!

After the announcement of a Harry Potter mega-series last week by HBO Max and Paramount+, it will now be the turn of the Twilight saga to suffer the same fate. At least, that’s what Lionsgate wants.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lionsgate Television Studios is currently preparing the project and is looking for a writer to adapt Stephenie Meyer’s novels into a series.

Lionsgate Studios also owns The Hunger Games, and the franchise returns in 2023 with The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, which is scheduled to hit theaters on November 17.

So it’s time for Twilight to suffer a similar fate!

So, would you have liked it to be a return of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, or rather a complete reboot of the franchise?

Whatever the case, it will finally be the return of Edward and Bella and this, for the greatest joy of the fans of the Twilight saga!

The 38-year-old also looks back on the highs and lows he has experienced since that day with the team, his struggles for human rights, and the importance of giving a hero to the younger generation of young people who have the same skin color as him.

Is it war between Kevin Costner and Yellowstone’s showrunner?

As viewers eagerly await Yellowstone Season 5 – Part 2, a feud between Kevin Costner and series creator Taylor Sheridan has reportedly become so intense that it threatens the very production of the series.

According to the New York Post and Page Six, a real war of egos has been raging for some time on the set of the popular Paramount+ series.

“It’s like any showrunner and big star… there’s respect, but there’s friction!” one source said.

While some of the New York Post’s sources are trying to downplay the facts, others would suggest that Sheridan is playing to his ego and is keeping the show’s stars, including Kevin Costner, in the dark about things to come… and the situation has only gotten worse over time!

“Taylor is the star of his show. Only Taylor really knows what’s going on,” says a source who is said to be very close to the production.

According to some, Taylor Sheridan’s ego is inflated by his immense success. With the Yellowstone spin-offs also starring big names like Matthew McConaughey, Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford, in addition to all his other projects, including Mayor of Kingstown with Jeremy Renner, it’s not going to get any better!

Paramount+

Others rather blame Costner in this dispute, because, according to them, the latter would simply not want to spend more hours shooting on the series and would like to turn to other projects. The actor’s lawyer, however, denied this assumption.

Of course, Kevin Costner, as well as other actors from the series whose careers are taking off, is reportedly expected to film several other projects this year.

For Yellowstone, the situation is only likely to get worse with a writers’ strike currently looming in Hollywood!

To be continued!
