Deadbolt seems to have picked up on a piece of news that just about every other media outlet out there missed. Showtime has scooped up the rights to broadcast all the movies in the Twilgiht Saga. That’s quite a coup! According to Deadbolt:

“…it was announced that Showtime has signed an exclusive Twilight deal with Summit Entertainment that gives Showtime the rights to air all Twilight films in the Stephenie Meyer based Twilight Saga upon the release of Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking dawn to cable television. With cable television curry enjoying a new moon in popularity and far from any twilight of what TV fans can expect, the release of critically acclaimed cable TV movies and series have overshadowed mainstream networks.”

Deadbolt has done it again and come up with a great feature that explores the media hype that surrounds the Twilight franchise. This time they’re talking about how the Internet is going to explode tonight with people analyzing and reanalyzing the trailer. No doubt there will be screen caps of second by second footage, blow ups of frames, and endless commentary ranging from OME! Can’t wait till Nov. to Chris Weitz ruined it!

According to Deadbolt:

“…the New Moon trailer will serve a dual purpose:

1. It will satisfy the near fever pitch Twilight anticipation.

2. Build fresh New Moon momentum from a brand new starting point.

Hey, we’re just as excited to see the New Moon trailer as you are, but it’s been awkwardly entertaining to see so much hype around … well … a trailer.”

Check out their full trailer story.

That’s the question that The Deadbolt asks in their latest feature.

“Edward Cullen will be a strong spirit in New Moon, but from an acting standpoint, Robert Pattinson will need to up the Twilight ante to make as much of an impression on New Moon as he did in Twilight. Although the events of New Moon have already been set in harmony with the novel, it’s not like Robert Pattinson can simply mail in his performance, especially since the Twilight Saga is – safe to say – twice as popular as it was before the first film. In leaving his imprint on New Moon, how will Pattinson make the most of his time for the sake of the character and the set-up to the third Twilight film, Eclipse?”

The Deadbolt does a run down of just what make the Twilight Saga so accessible and relatable to so many people:

“Why has the Stephenie Meyer based Twilight Saga become such a global phenomenon? Why have so many female fans flocked to the town of Forks in the Twilight setting? Based on the volume of Twilight related articles hitting the internet and the levels of online Twilight and New Moon discussion, it’s obvious the Twilight franchise is the most popular big screen adaptation series out there.”

They come up four key reasons to answer this question. Do you agree?

The Deadbolt has a great article up that analizes whether or not the Twilight Saga stars are at risk of being stereotyped given their high profile roles.

“In Vancouver, B.C. where the Twilight sequel New Moon is being shot, Twilight mania has reached a new high as both fans and press have converged to eagerly await the daily personal or professional moves of Pattinson, Stewart, and Lautner. However, with the rising success of the Twilight Saga, as well as the target audience of young female fans that continues to escalate, are the Twilight actors being swallowed up in the enormity of attention? When the cinematic sun eventually sets on the Stephenie Meyer based Twilight Saga, will the actors be forever hemmed in by their own Twilight success, or will they be able to shake their Twilight image to avoid a professional stereotype.”
