Pinoy Remake of Twilight is Fake!

Many people specially the fans of the hit movie "Twilight" are reacting about a buzz that ABS-CBN is in the process of creating a tagalog version of the vampire movie which was based from the original novel by Stephenie Meyer, and the Pinoy version of the vampire film will be called "Takipsilim" and will be starred by Rayver Cruz as the vampire "Edward Cullen" and Shaina Magdayao as "Bella Swan", and will be directed by Cathy Molina.

The rumor said that ABS-CBN bought the TV rights to create a Tagalog version of "Twilight" for the whoping price of US$ 1 Million. The news was so detailed that it even mentioned an unofficial list of cast. Included in the list were: Valeen Montenegro as Alice Cullen, Gabby Concepcion as Dr. Carlisle Cullen, Luis Manzano as Emmett Cullen, Al Tantay as Charlie Swan, Yayo Aguila as Renee Dwyer, Fred Payawan as Jacob Black, Carlos Agassi as James, Chin Chin Gutierrez as Esme Cullen, Karylle as Rosalie Hale, Joross Gamboa as Jasper Hale, Jessy Mendiola as Jessica Stanley, Empress Schuck as Angela Weber, Brad Murdoch as Laurent, Nikki Bacolod as Victoria, and Aaron Villaflor as Mike Newton.

The buzz about the Pinoy remake of  "Twilight" was so hot that the entire "Blogosphere" is talking about it for almost a week. I myself even found a poster of the movie with Rayver Cruz and Shaina Magdayao's face on it which is obviously made through the magic of "Photoshop". The rumors earned criticisms from the Twilight fans who even put up a petition on the web asking ABS-CBN to stop their plan of making a Pinoy version of the movie.

Well ABS-CBN's camp has just denied the rumors and said that if ever they really have a plan of doing a remake of "Twilight" they'll be the first one to notifay the public. But I don't think they'll still push through with it even if the rumors were through, because the news earned negative reactions from the public. But with that ABS-CBN scored because they earned publicity.
