Takipsilim (Filipino Version of Twilight)

Have you heard of the movie Twilight? Hmmm, to others wont matter but for those, there's a rumor that ABS-CBN paid $1 million to it's co-producer Ignite Media for the rights to the Twilight series. According to the news, the new series, tentatively titled "Takipsilim", will reunite the onscreen tandem of Rayver Cruz and Shaina Magdayao.

Honestly, the said project was great, if they supposed to level down their rating and image to the public most especially to the Twilight fanatic.

.....LEAVE TWILIGHT ALONE

....i dOnt Agree tO thiS.i dOnt bElieve thAt they can do mOre better than thE ORginAl Or wOrst tHey will mAke the moviE bAD And not ThAt gOoD.And rayver FOr edward cullen DuH! CompAre him TO RObert pattinsOn...

Those are some of Twilighter's objections and they even got this online petition entitled, Anti-Takipsilim, posted on online petition site. As what being clarified by the said network:

“There is no truth to the Web reports, particularly in the Perez Hilton blogsite, that ABS-CBN is doing a local adaptation of “Twilight”. ABS-CBN will be the first to announce if it is, in fact doing so,” according to ABS-CBN Corporate Communications’ Bong Osorio.

Last week, abs-cbnNEWs.com did a story on an Internet report about the adaptation. The prospect of a local adaptation of “Twilight” has caused a lot of discussion, sometimes heated, on various Internet discussion fora.

How about this post from the ABS-CBN website cached by Google confirming about the said project?

Is ABS-CBN washing their hands like Pontius Pilate? What do you think guys?
