‘Twilight' movies to have free limited streaming on YouTube starting Sept. 8
What hafen, Vela? Don't worry, The Twilight Saga is coming to YouTube for a free, limited streaming event next week.
In celebration of the 20th anniversary of Stephenie Meyer's young adult novel, film studio Lionsgate will livestream all five Twilight movies: Twilight, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Parts 1 & 2.
The movies will play on a loop on Twilight's YouTube channel starting Sept. 8, 3 a.m. (Philippine Time), until Sept. 16, 3:59 p.m.
Apart from the free streaming event, the film will also have its five-day re-release in cinemas this October.
Based on the best-selling novel by Meyer, the first Twilight film premiered in 2008. It followed 17-year-old Bella as she moved from sunny Phoenix, Arizona, to the small, rainy town of Forks, Washington. She falls in love with a mysterious boy, Edward, who turns out to be a vampire.
It spawned four novels, including a few other books, including the 2010 novella The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner, based on a newborn vampire in the third novel, the gender-swapped 2015 novel Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined, and Midnight Sun from Edward's perspective.
It starred Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner. The movies grossed over $3.36 billion (P189 billion) worldwide.
