Twilight fans rejoice as mystery update confirmed - but there's a catch
The Twilight Saga teased a major announcement on Wednesday and fans finally have answers
Twilight enthusiasts have been left thrilled following a huge update from the iconic film series, but it's not good news for all movie-goers.
The much-loved franchise, based on Stephenie Meyer's novels, released five films between 2008 and 2012, with Breaking Dawn: Part 2 marking the end of the series.
Fast forward over a decade, and the saga made a cryptic announcement across social media on Wednesday (August 27). Fans were tantalised with an image featuring Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) and Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), accompanied by the words "Forever Begins Again, "The Twilight Saga," and "This October."
The post also included the mysterious caption "Tomorrow," hinting that further details would be revealed on Thursday (August 28). Now, the enigma has finally been unveiled, reports the Manchester Evening News.
As many fans had speculated, the entire Twilight Saga is set to make a comeback in cinemas this October, perfectly timed for the first novel's 20th anniversary.
On Thursday evening, the franchise posted a trailer on Instagram featuring clips from each of the five films, along with the caption: "All five films. Back in theatres. This October."
Naturally, the announcement sent fans into a whirlwind of excitement, with many expressing their joy in the comments section.
One fan exclaimed: "Omg I get to see it in theatres for the first time," while another simply wrote: "Finally.
"Exciting!!! I actually missed out on the first one in theatres," enthused a third.
However, some sharp-eyed viewers have spotted that the trailer reveals the celebration will be "nationwide," indicating the re-release is limited to American cinemas only.
International fans have been left devastated by this news. Expressing their frustration, one viewer raged: "Why only nationwide? ? ? This should be international thooooooo!!!"
Another added: "NOOO MAKE IT WORLDWIDE PLEASEEEEE," whilst a third begged: "WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF THE WORLD?"
Currently, it seems only US-based audiences will get to enjoy this massive celebration.
Twilight follows the tale of teenager Bella, who becomes smitten with vampire Edward and gets dragged into the supernatural realm of bloodsuckers and werewolves.
The film series catapulted Pattinson and Stewart, who were establishing themselves in Hollywood at the time, to worldwide stardom.
