Seriously? They're not even over yet. Couldn't they have given it another 10 years or something?

Well, by the time they revamp the script, get a new cast, film, edit it, etc, maybe a few years will have gone past...

Yes a "few" years meaning 2-5 years. They waited 30 before remaking Footloose. They waited 17 before making another Annie, 30 before remaking Fame, they waited almost 40 before making another Parent Trap, they waited 75 years before remaking Chicago, they waited 26 years before remaking Karate Kid and so on...
I have nothing against a Twilight remake. But the movies just ended. Give us a break. Make a remake on November 21, 2028 (20 year anniversary). That'd be nice. Same goes for Harry Potter. If they were to make a remake now I'd be saying the same thing. Potter ended last year. Make remakes when the cast is old enough to play the trio's parents. I can totally see Twilight pulling a Doctor Who (same characters used for several years). But unlike Twilight, Dr. Who has a continuous story. Twilight will just be the same story again acted out by different people. It's a very dumb idea to do a remake so soon. People (including fans) will start to get sick of it.

Did you read the article, or just the title?

"By the five year anniversary, Lionsgate, who acquired Summit back in January for $412.5 million in cash and stock, will be in serious discussions regarding the future of the Stephenie Meyer vampire/werewolf franchise."
DISCUSSION means pre production.

Serious discussion isn't predicted until 2017. It wouldn't be out in 2-5 years. They probably won't even approach Stephenie about it until then, if it's actually true.

Plus, there are also other movies that have been remade almost one after the other. If the demand is there...

The Hulk 2003 - Incredible Hulk 2008 - 5 years apart

Death at a Funeral (2007) - Death at a Funeral (2010) - 3 years apart

Exorcist: The Beginning (2004) - Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist (2005) - 1 year apart

@cassie-1-2-3 okay, thank God. I thought they'd be releasing them much sooner than that. But I just read in an article that the remakes have been denied, anyway :(

@cunha27 I didn't say movies didn't do it, LOL. I said when remakes are made briefly after the original it tends to annoy a lot of people. I guess a continuation of Twilight would be okay but not a remake so soon. They just ended.

Sorry, must have misunderstood you then :) Still they wouldn't have thought about doing a remake if they didn't think the demand was there. They must have believed that there were enough people who'd enjoy watching a remake sooner rather than later. I know I'd have watched it, even if it had turned out to have been a bad remake. If only for the pleasure of then later comparing and discussing the two movies.

@cunha27 it's okay :) I have no problem with a remake...20 years later, though. With a higher budget maybe they can add the scenes that were left out of the original (blood testing scene mostly)!

the denied rumor articlle I read sounded more like a confirmation. They denied that they were working on one right now, which none of the rumors are saying. They said they'd do whatever Stephenie Meyer wanted, but also stated that Stephenie said she wouldn't mind a remake sometime.

Summit on their own was much better at denying rumors than Lionsgate.
