The TWILIGHT Saga Returns To Theaters For 20th Anniversary Movie Marathon
The first book in Stephenie Meyer's iconic vampire series was released in 2005.
Fathom Entertainment and Lionsgate are bringing all five films in the Twilight saga back to the big screen for a nationwide movie marathon in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the first book in Stephenie Meyer‘s vampire romance series.
From October 29 to November 2, Twihards can catch Twilight (2008), New Moon (2009), Eclipse (2010) and Breaking Dawn Parts 1 (2011) and 2 (2012) at theaters with new, exclusive roundtable chats for each of the films with Meyer, producers Wyck Godfrey and Karen Rosenfelt, Gillian Bohrer, former Lionsgate Co-President, Production and Erik Feig, former Co-President of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group.
Per an official press release, festivities will also include a live-to-film concert experience for the first movie in a U.S. national tour of 60 cities from 9/12 to 11/30, that sees musicians perform the film's score in sync, as more than 1,000 twinkling candles illuminate the stage.
Just in case you were living under a rock for the entirety of the 2000s, the Twilightseries (both book and film) was a gargantuan global success, with five movies in its multi-billion-dollar film franchise starring Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner. Readers and viewers around the world were gripped by the love triangle between human Bella Swan (Stewart), vampire Edward Cullen (Pattinson) and werewolf Jacob Black (Lautner).
Fathom CEO Ray Nutt has this to say of the upcoming Twilight screenings:
“Twilight fans are some of the most passionate anywhere, making this iconic movie franchise the epitome of a modern-day classic which Fathom Entertainment is thrilled to help bring back to the big screen in this special cinematic engagement, […] With our partners at Lionsgate, we celebrate 20 years since Stephenie Meyer’s first Twilight book was published and encourage fans to relish The Twilight Saga.”
