[NOTE: no official confirmation yet confirmed false!]

A Filipino version of Twilight for television set to begin production soon.

Actors Rayver Cruz and Shaina Magdayao will be portraying Edward and Isabella, respectively, in the ABS-CBN production which will treat the vampire love story as “drama, romance, and fantasy.”

It will be directed by Cathy Garcia Molina and is scheduled to begin filming sometime in February, in both the Philippines and abroad.

  • ABS-CBN && even GMA
    i think both have no ORIGINALITY!!
    but atleast ABS was taking risk
    not unlike GMA..
    hurgz!
    i prefer to watch ABS than GMA ofcourse..

  • ok…ok…abs-cbn just confirmed…the gossip about the filipino version of the movie TWILIGHT is not true…the said casts,themslves, confirmed that the rumors spreading is not true…so just stop saying so foolish things about those NONSENSE things…those are nonsense, I could say…saying EVIL things pointing to the casts, to ABS-CBN, or even to the Filipino race….what the heck! Filipinos who talked about things so selfishly without even confirming the truth.fine…..you feel ashamed of being a Filipino..fine..fine…WE are also ashamed of you to…
    well..just to say…I may like the twilight movie and be interestd on it..but i am not obssessed like other people that came to the point that they forgot who they are and where they are from to say the NASTY words they throw here…so bad…
    fine…
    well..i’m not saying all..but still..I read comments here saying the nasty words i am talking about….
    like some said..”I am a Filipino and ashamed of it”..SOMETHING LIKE THAT…
    oh…fine…they are ashamed of being a filipino…fin..fine…leave the philippines and never cme back…go to the place where philippines would never be traced…and never say the words Philippines or even Filipino..because those words are not deserving to come out from your mouth….tsk….
    stop this issue…they confirmed it already…what has been said has been said and what has been done is done….so stop….
    just live this new year happily and gratefuly,..

    -> Inspired

  • hate it…so JUDGMENTAL!!! grrr…not confirming the issue…..ahahahha…..and it’s funny that the issue is not true…and it was confirmed after people say how they are unnationalistic.really…

    BE GUILTY….

    some said…how stupid…so ugly…yuck…then other bad words….then the issue was not really true…oh so sad….guilt is always at the end….and I hope that the pople who said bad things here about the filipino artists, abs-cbn, and the filipino race feel the guilt….just think..no one is perfect so don’t be so judgmental….you don’t have the right…you look first on yourselves to see how much you are not deserving to judge other people like that….
    twilight is just a movie…
    and so….be more careful about your virtue….your character…it is more important….

  • kidcat:

    yeah… i heard that ABS-CBN clarified the issue and stated that it was not true… even the actors involve in the so called project “TAKIPSILIM” denied the said issue…

    for details just go to the station’s site: http://www.abs-cbn.com

  • Bella:

    I mean, that’s cool, but no one could ever do a better job of portraying Edward and Bella (and have their chemistry) like Rob and Kristen! :D

  • its just a rumor , i am a filipino and i nwatch the news and theysaid cathy is not going to derack it and the stars of takipsilim is not going to come out in the big srean at all it even say on the top “comfirmed false”

  • Ever:

    Its not true!! Yes!! It gives me all the “Aches” in the world!! Who ever “Invent” this Idea: “Well you’ll die soon!!! believe me!!!”

  • Fully Booked:

    this is really pathetic. no use talking trash about this trash. they’ve already cancelled it. guess they’ve realized it’s a pretty darn stupid thing to do… or just afraid that no one will watch it. anyways, even though they’ve already cancelled it or said “it ain’t true”, they’ve already gave a bad name to ABS-CBN. their fault now. HMPH. even a picture has already been made with RAYVER and SHAINA on it. SO EEW. HMPH HMPH.

    anyways anyways, can’t wait for New Moon. how ’bout you guys? but i’m more on Eclipse and Breaking Dawn.ü woow, Stephenie! wish i have your cool imagination. and thanks for the share.

    i wrote this because i was inspired by the TWILIGHTERS who also wrote their opinion. WE CAN STOP NOW, PEOPLE. DON’T BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES, FILIPINOS. LET’S ALL BE CALMED NOW THAT EVERYTHING IS CONFIRMED.ü

    SORRY IF IT’S TOO LONG. SO MANY THINGS GOING AROUND MY THOUGHTS OF WHAT TO SAY. HAHAHAHAHAHA! =))

    Have a Happy Happy New Year Everyone. :D

  • urbanflip:

    Why are ppl so mean about the issue specially those who claim to be pinoys abroad? Are we not the ones who demnd worldwde rspect yet we are the oneswho keeps on belittling what we can do.
    So wht if ABS wnts to franchise twilight…and so what if the prod value is no way near the original…duh!its not naman as if it is for international distribution?! …coz primarly the remake will cater for pinoys those 60%+ of us that blong to d low income bracket , us who actually live in the PI…. the ordinry aling eva and mang tacio who can not afford to watch the film or buy the book much moe understnd it..you see guys its not really a question of bein original…it really is jst 4 Diversity…its lettin mre ppl undrstnd a good story by adptin it cultrally. so 4 thse fil ams and pinoys n ngmigrte abroad n 2weeks plng eh my accent n! shut up!

  • kyzeir:

    its a good thing that its not true…. i mean… if they are really planning to produce a filipino version… they should at least pick the actors that best fits the roles.,,.,

  • PROUD TO BE A FILIPINO:

    to you: if you’re not proud being a filipino, so be it. Such a loser! if you wish you were not born a filipino, we wish you the same thing. Yeah u hate being a filipino and trying to be someone else? eewww… so trying hard!

    FYI: filipino is such a great race just like yours. DONT BE A RACIST!

    to other filipinos here: c’mon why are you pulling your ownselves down?!

    to others: leave filipinos alone. don’t generalize everything! the rumor has nothing to do with the entire filipino race.

  • chinese angel:

    hehe…i think bella and the filipino version of bella look alike the same…but i have no comment about that movie,and i know that it’s no real.

  • zarry:

    im a pilipino…ang it was confirm that the issue was not true…

    a if ever they decide to do one….i bet thats the end of the company…heheheheh,…..beat that….

  • emzy:

    o well.. i dont like the idea of making a filipino version of twilight.. i am filipino .. i think the original iss always better .. but to those people who keep saying that asians such as filipino,korean,japanesse and etc.. doesnt have originality that we asians always copy anything tht americans do.. well..i have a question.. WHY IS IT WHEN ASIANS MADE THEIR OWN VERSION OF AMERiCAN MOVIE OR SERIES YOU CALL US A COPYCAT..BUT when AMERICANs COPIED ASIAN MOVIE OR SERIES..it not an issue..?

    hmmmm..as far as i remember,, THE GRUDGE and THE RING are originally form JAPAN.. and AMERICANS made their own version of it.. then .. JUNO and MY SASSY GIRL is originally from KOREA… so now WHO is COPYCAT..

  • i hate this idea. NO BODY AND I MEAN NO BODY CAN BE COMPARED TO ROBERT PATTISON!!!!!!!!! THe dude whose playing Edward Cullen is sssssssssoooooooo not kool for his role(he iant even HOt). Edward Cullen is A FUCKING HOT GOD!!!!! And Rayver is not a GOD!! Im a Filipino and i LOve my country but this is going OVER BOARD!!!!!! they cannot make a copy of Twilight!!!!! Twilight is to good to be copied!! They (abs-bcn) copied to many american shows and movies already!!!!!! THIS IS SOOOOOOO GOING OVER BOARD!!!!! THEY CANT DO THIS.
