NO to Takipsilim!

I have read all the comments left on my previous post. Was quite shocked at the number even though most of them are anonymous. I was both laughing, irritated and agreeing to some of these comments.

To those who have shared their disgust and outrage, I would have to agree with you. I know imitation is a form of flattery but will they be able to pull this one off? Can they "flatter" Stephenie Meyer and the rest of the Twilight fans by doing a Pinoy version?

It's not that I am a pessimist but can you blame me for thinking this way? There's this local version of Gossip Girl in another network which I haven't really seen but heard from friends that it's b-a-d.

ABS was probably thinking they could do this because they did it before with Tabing Ilog, the local version of the then hit TV series, Dawson's Creek. But was Tabing Ilog a hit because I really didn't watch the show back then.

You know what would be better, our local and original movies/TV series would have a Hollywood re-make. Now that would be priceless. Take for example the movie Sigaw. They're making a Hollywood version of this entitled The Echo and even Iza Calzado is part of the cast. Galing diba? Here's a movie trailer of it that I found in youtube.



I really really really do hope that ABS would think a million times before they continue with this project. *Crossing my fingers*

And if you want to be heard (and hopes that ABS gets the queue), you might want to sign up in this petition here.
