WTF!?!?!??????

If I curse, I would have done so now!

I can’t express enough my disgust with this news. I mean, come on! Do we really want to embarass ourselves this way??? Getting the rights to remake the Twilight series in Tagalog???

Apparently, ABS CBN, one of the media giants here in the Philippines, had this brilliant idea (read: STUPID!) of buying the rights of Twilight from Ignite Media for more than $1 million. They can’t even remake local movies and series right and they would like to attempt something this big. WTF?!?!?!?

The local version of Twilight will be entitled Takipsilim (duh!) and it will star Rayver Cruz as Edward Cullen and Shaina Magdayao as Bella Swan. You know, when I read about this, I almost rolled on the floor laughing. Literally. What are they thinking??? And look at the poster for the series…

If you are a Filipino like me and you are also a die hard Twilight fan who also happens to be head over heels over Rob Pattinson, Rayver will come across as a joke to you! And Shaina as Bella? My disgust is a separate entity that you can see beside me right now!

And wait till you hear/read who will play in the supporting cast…

Gabby Concepcion as Carlisle Cullen
Luis Manzano as Emmett Cullen
Karylle as Rosalie Hale (Is she THAT beautiful???)
Joross Gamboa as Jasper Hale
Al Tantay as Charlie Swan (THIS had me laughing non stop!)
And some others I don’t really know.

You can read about this stupid news here.

Twilighters across the internet are up in arms over this news and they (that includes ME!) want this series stopped. Stephenie Meyer doesn’t come across as stupid or anything but WTF was she thinking letting this kind of thing happen? I guess the rights to Twilight is no longer with her but I do believe she can stop this one from happening.

Paging Stephenie Meyer! Please stop ABS CBN from airing Takipsilim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
