Hold on tight, spider monkey, because it looks like the “Twilight” saga — starring Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner — won’t take a thousand years to be seen on the big screen as it is set to return to cinemas sometime in October.
The social media platforms of “Twilight,” entertainment company Lionsgate, and film company Fathom Entertainment teased the return of the hit vampire-werewolf franchise in cinemas on Wednesday, August 27.
“Forever begins again this October,” a movie poster read, containing the faces of Pattinson, Stewart, and Lautner.

It remains unknown if the “Twilight” saga — composed of the films “Twilight,” “New Moon,” “Eclipse,” “Breaking Dawn – Part 1,” and “Breaking Dawn – Part 2” — will be returning to cinemas in a worldwide release or if it will only be done in U.S. theaters.
Based on the hit novels by Stephenie Meyer, the “Twilight” saga tells the story of Isabella “Bella” Swan (Stewart), who falls in love with the vampire Edward Cullen (Pattinson), although she finds herself in a love triangle with her best friend Jacob Black (Lautner) at some point.
Bella eventually chooses to marry Edward, and they have a half-human, half-vampire daughter named Renesmee. However, Bella’s life-threatening pregnancy caused her to transform into a vampire to ultimately save her life. The saga ends with the defeat of the Volturi clan, who have taken an interest in Renesmee’s supernatural abilities.
The franchise evolved into a global phenomenon and grossed $3.36 billion worldwide, per reports. /edv
