‘Twilight’ Inspired Fan Fiction Turned Best Seller Now Could Be A Movie

One studio executive told the trade that while they expect the rights to sell for seven figures, the sexually explicit nature will make it a difficult sell in the general marketplace. And though the Twilight connection is peripheral (it doesn’t sound like there are any vampires or werewolves here) it’s possible studios feel this story could occupy that romantic-fantasy void once the final Twilight film is released this winter. There’s surely a huge number of Twilight fans who grew up with that series and can now see an R-rated movie where maybe they couldn’t have four years ago.
Do you know anyone who had read these books? Will the Twilight audience turn out for a sexually charged movie such as Fifty Shades of Grey?
