The beloved vampire and werewolf characters from the millennial generation are making a grand return to celebrate the 15th anniversary of their big-screen debut in the Twilight series. The films catapulted Robert Pattinson, now known as Batman, alongside indie star Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner into the limelight.
Lionsgate has planned a re-release of The Twilight Saga in theaters, and to enhance the celebration, an exciting streaming event kicks off on September 7.
First on the agenda is a YouTube marathon for dedicated fans. Join the fun as the five films are showcased on the franchise’s official channel—free of charge! Gather your Team Edward or Team Jacob pajamas for a slumber party or virtual watch-along. The movies will air in a continuous loop starting at 12 p.m. PT this Sunday and run until September 14 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
If you prefer a theatrical experience, the films will hit theaters again in October. Lionsgate and Fathom Entertainment are remastering the films to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Stephenie Meyer’s original Twilight novel. No matter where you are, the Cullens will be back, captivating fans on every platform.
There’s a treasure trove of “sparkly vamp” and werewolf content on the recently revamped social media pages managed by Lionsgate. It’s easy to see why: the five films—Twilight, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Parts 1 and 2—together earned over $3.3 billion at the global box office. The franchise remains a cultural phenomenon, with Lionsgate currently developing a Netflix series adaptation of Midnight Sun, inspired by Meyer’s work.
