Edward and Bella are back with Fathom Entertainment and Lionsgate set release the five films of the Twilight saga in a nationwide movie marathon from October 29-November 2 to mark the 20th anniversary of the first book in Stephenie Meyer‘s iconic series.
Screenings for the five-night engagement include new, exclusive roundtable chats for each of the films with Meyer; producers Wyck Godfrey and Karen Rosenfelt; Gillian Bohrer, former Lionsgate Co-President of Production; and Erik Feig, former Co-President of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group.
The Twilight Saga films, which launched the careers of Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, have grossed more than $3.3 billion worldwide.
Festivities will also include a live-to-film concert experience for the first movie in a U.S. national tour of 60 cities from September 12-November 30. “Musicians will take the stage to perform the beloved film score in perfect synchronization with the original movie, presented in its entirety on a massive cinema screen. Audiences will be completely captivated by the magical atmosphere with more than 1,000 twinkling candles illuminating the grand stage,” the companies said.
Warner Music Group will rerelease the Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse movie soundtracks on Halloween.
Little, Brown Books will publish three collectible book editions, all releasing on September 30, to celebrate the franchise. There’s new Twilight merchandise. The Twilight Saga YouTube Channel was recently relaunched with clips and bonus content. Meyer will join the Forever Twilight in Forks Festival running September 11–14 in Forks, WA, where the saga is set.
“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,” said Fathom CEO Ray Nutt. “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.”
