Because it’s so popular right now, the vampire flick “Twilight” is being adapted into a Philippine TV series, with teen stars Rayver Cruz and Shaina Magdayao playing the lead parts.
The Stephanie Meyer novel has been bought by TV network ABS-CBN with Ignite Media for more than $1 million for the upcoming “fantaserye” show. The working is “Takipsilim,” which is a tagalong word for twilight.
This will be a reunion for Cruz and Magdayao, both 19, who were love team partners in the earlier stage of their careers. They are getting the roles of Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson in the Hollywood film version) Isabella Swan (Kristen Stewart).
“Box office director” Cathy Garcia Molina is set to helm the series.
The unofficial line-up of casts includes the TV network’s roster of talents such as Valeen Montenegro (Alice Cullen), Gabby Concepcion (Dr. Carlisle Cullen), Luis Manzano (Emmet Cullen), Joross Gamboa (Jasper Hale), Yayo Aguila (Renee Dwyer), and the newest recruit, Karylle (Rosalie).
It has not been disclosed if the characters in the TV adaptation would be keeping their names as they would sound so westernized in the Philippine setting.
The production is set to kick off in February, with locations covering Baguio, Tagaytay, Bukidnon, and overseas.

IT’S JUST A
H-O-A-X
H-O-A-X
H-O-A-X

Oh lighten up people! It’s only going to be shown in Philippine TV. I’m sure their contact with Summit Entertainment and Stephanie Meyer stipulates that. And so what if they make their own version? So much of Hollywood is borrowed from Asia now. The movie “The Departed” was adapted from a Hong Kong movie “Internal Affairs”. The recent spate of hollywood horror films were all remakes from Korean and Japanese orginal horror classics. Fact is, nothing ever beats the original. So I’m sure this Filipino TV version will not compare to its hollywood movie counterpart in the same manner that none of the movies hollywood adapted from Asia ever measured up to the original Asian versions. Human stories are cultural. A story needs to be home to you to affect you. So yeah, the network that carries the tagalog version of “Twilight” will either lose or make money. Honestly, I think it will lose big time. Vampires in the Phlippine folklore are unspeakably ugly. They sell so much better that way.
please dont!!!!!! this is so the most embarassing thing ever on philippine television. i love twilight, i love the book, i love the actors and i love being a filipino but please scrap the idea ABS! leave twilight alone…. and the actors chosen to play the part??? you gotta be kiddin me…. puke puke puke…. i think im gonna be dizzy right now seriously i just went into brief state of shock here….. puhlleezz… rayver to robert and shaina to kirsten???? hahahaha sorry guys i know im so rude but totoo lang what were they thinking… anyway trust me on this if anyone from the network is going to read this… SCRAP THE IDEA!!! LEAVE TWILIGHT ALONE…
PUKE INDUCER…
seriously….this idea should not be pushed through…Just the idea of it makes me PUKE…What a shame..This is one of the reasons why i hate FILIPINO TV…What are they thinking???? I just hate it..ANd GAbi conception as CARLISLE??? RAYVER AS EDWARD.???…(are they insane??) are they joking?????…If this idea will be pushed through….THEY WILL ONLY PROVE THAT THEY ARE THE WORST COPYCATS IN THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE….
PS. Even the title TAKIPSILIM makes me sick…(CORNY)…so??? are they telling that NEW MOON will be BAGONG BUWAN??? (aaarrgghhh…..this is crap)
PLEASE……DONT RUIN TWILIGHT…
