ABS-CBN to Produce Local Twilight Television Series
Okay… now this really caught me completely off-guard. I can’t find the words yet to express what I’m really feeling - you know being a huge fan of the Twilight series and all. But what the hell - OMGWTFBBQ!?!?!??! It looks like we will see Twilight localized since ABS-CBN bought the television rights for the highly acclaimed novel series. Rayver Cruz and Shaina Magdayo will play Edward and Bella respectively.
Man oh man they don’t look like anything like Edward or Bella. This is really heart-wrenching. Check out the rest of the cast after the jump.
To be directed by Cathy Garcia Molina, the TV adaptation will focus on Edward and Bella’s love story to be treated as drama, romance and fantasy. The unofficial cast includes Valeen Montenegro as Alice Cullen, Gabby Concepcion as Dr. Carlisle Cullen, Luis Manzano as Emmett Cullen, Al Tantay as Charlie Swan, Yayo Aguila as Renee Dwyer, Fred Payawan as Jacob Black, Carlos Agassi as James, Chin Chin Gutierrez as Esme Cullen, Karylle as Rosalie Hale, Joross Gamboa as Jasper Hale, Jessy Mendiola as Jessica Stanley, Empress Schuck as Angela Weber, Brad Murdoch as Laurent, Nikki Bacolod as Victoria and Aaron Villaflor as Mike Newton. Rayver and Shaina were former love team partner but the tandem did not work. It seems their tandem will click in “Twilight.”
So… what do you guys think? I’ll probably try watching one episode - if just out of respect for Twilight. If it bombs, then I will butcher it’s review here in my blog till kingdom come. Lol.

FU ABS if you bring shame to the Twilight series!!!! I’ll burn your fucking building down!!
December 23rd, 2008 at 9:21 pm
Amfufu! How can a station make something better out of something crappy in the first place (c’mon, a mushy love story fueled only by cheezy lines). But oh well, I have faith in ABS-CBN, they always make crap shows anyway. Epic failure. (Oh right, this is just me talking.)
December 23rd, 2008 at 11:09 pm
sigurado korni nito..
December 23rd, 2008 at 11:11 pm
Sa special effects palang ng Pinoy alam na.
December 23rd, 2008 at 11:44 pm
OMG I guess this really just shows how popular the twilight saga. What a way to ruin my christmas. I don’t expect anything good out of this.
December 24th, 2008 at 2:12 am
Lol, talk about taking another notch of bringing down Original Filipino Creations. Jeebuz, all we can do now is copy western ideas for our mainstream shows. Gawd… talk about MASSIVE PHAIL.
December 24th, 2008 at 7:05 am
OMG~!!! that guy is UGLY!!!!!!!
and i mean. UUUGGGGGGLLLYY as a mother fcker.
December 24th, 2008 at 7:20 am
I totally disagree on this news. It SUCKS you know!!! Copycut ABS-CBN
If ABS-CBN pursuing the TV remake version of Twilight maybe this could be the fall of Philippines Television.

Oh please! This is too funny! hahaha! I really hate it that there’s another Twilight wanna be, nothing compares to the book (of course). I still love my own imagination.
December 24th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
rayver sucks man… he can do no good edward… doesn’t even look like he fits to be one.. i say jay cuenca may be a better edward… LOL..xD
December 24th, 2008 at 3:16 pm
malamang,,, korni yan.. sa una tama pa ung storyline.. habang tumatagal maiiba na.. tapos dadagdagan n ng mga style ng pinoy,, may matutuklasan anak pala xa ne2,, kapatid pala cla sa ama,, o kaya kung anu anu pa,,, tapos un,, iba na,, iba na ung storya.. joke.. ^_^..
lage nmn kasi ganun.. hahhaha,,, mga effects pa,,, umasa ng ganun,, ahhaa..
December 24th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
um…kung sa effects nman..partners po ang ABS-CBN and ignite media in this project…and…i think they should replace rayver though..haha…XD
December 24th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
I agree with sheena. I prefer my own Edward and Bella imagination. :) I totally disagree with the remake.. duh.. puh-lease stop this madness..
December 24th, 2008 at 5:25 pm

over $1million dollars? wow.
kung yang over $1million dollars e ginamit nila para makagawa sila ng hollywood-style special effects para sa mga original series nila, eh di mas maganda.
December 25th, 2008 at 12:42 pm
good thing i’m not a twilight fan. :D
December 25th, 2008 at 1:05 pm
I think it’s better if Matt Evans and Melissa Ricks will play the leading roles. watchathink?
December 25th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
This is a joke, right? damn…
December 26th, 2008 at 12:19 am

December 26th, 2008 at 12:20 am
waaaaat!? hahahah
December 26th, 2008 at 1:14 am
i’m completely speechless….this is got to be the worst localization im going to view honestly. i mean, why does ABS-CBN have to always (and i reiterate the word ALWAYS) have to get the most famous foreign content and localize it into something…we might not appreciate? >_< this is most foul IMO..
whats next, Harry Potter????! give me a break!! X_X
December 26th, 2008 at 8:45 am

clearly no one likes it. ABS-CBN should really read your posts… wasting more than $1M with a project not even of pinoy talent!
Filipinos are really schmucks. No originality. Nothing to be proud of. Vanity.
