Stephenie Meyer and Lionsgate have partnered with Facebook to release five short Twilight Films: "The Storytellers: New Voices of the Twilight Saga"
Kristen Stewart, Stephenie Meyer, "Twilight" director Catherine Hardwicke, actor Kate Winslet, "Frozen" director Jennifer Lee, producer Cathy Schulman, Ocatavia Spencer, and Julie Bowen will be on a panel of judges to pick five woman directors to make the films.
The films will take place in the Twilight universe, with Twilight characters. Actors from the original movies are not expected to be in the short films--although there are rumors that Kristen Stewart may appear in the films. Lionsgate said it will spend a "significant" amount of money on the short films.
Will there be a sixth Twilight full length movie? Lionsgate vice chairperson Michael Burns said the five short films project "...is just a beginning--a template if you will. You can probably guess what might be coming next." Popular speculation is that a sixth Twilight movie would center around Renesmee and Jacob's relationship.
The short Twilight films will be released on Facebook in 2015. "We think Facebook is a great way for us to introduce the world of "Twilight" to a whole new audience while re-energizing existing fans," said Burns.
Women in Film organization is supporting the Twilight short films. "The female voice is something that has become more and more important to me as I've worked in the film industry," Stephenie Meyer said.
