British actor ROB PATTINSON has confirmed there will be a sequel to vampire
love story TWILIGHT - and he will star in the epic.
The movie adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's cult book became an overnight
sensation and took $7 million (£4.6 million) from midnight screenings in the
U.S. on Thursday (20Nov08) alone.
And producers want to capitalise on the success, by turning Meyer's second
book, New Moon, into a follow-up film.
In an email to fans, Pattinson and co-star Kristen Stewart thank fans for
backing the movie. They write: "To all of our wonderful, loyal and fantastic
fans - Thank you from the entire cast & crew for your amazing support of
Twilight.
"You've blown away all of our expectations, and we feel so honored to have
made a film that means as much to you as it does to us. Without your passion,
interaction and support, this film would not be where it is today - the #1
movie in America!
"From every city, every stop, every interview we have done, you've made this
an unbelievable, nearly surreal experience
and so cool that we were all in this
together.
"We just heard from Summit that we'll be moving forward on New Moon. We look
forward to sharing this next chapter with you! Kristen & Rob."
