Many of us who finished reading the Twilight saga were left wanting more, eager to learn more about the story. Almost everyone who went to see the movies had the same feeling, and now it seems we can continue enjoying the adventures and misadventures of Edward Cullen and Bella.
Stephenie Meyer , the author of the literary saga , and Lionsgate, the producer of the film adaptation, have reached an agreement with Facebook, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter, to release five short films on the social network during 2015 that expand the Twilight universe and delight the hundreds of thousands of fans of this saga.
If this news doesn't seem surprising enough, it doesn't end there, because through a contest that has already been named "The Storytellers: New Creative Voices of The Twilight Saga" five directors will be chosen who will be in charge of preparing the new stories.
These directors will be chosen by the public and by a jury of experts that is made up entirely of women, including Stephenie Meyer herself and Kate Winslet, Julie Bowen, Octavia Spencer, Jennifer Lee (writer of Frozen), Catherine Hardwicke , Cathy Schulman (president of the Women In Film association) and the protagonist of the saga, Kristen Stewart.
The prestigious author has already publicly stated about this agreement saying; "I am honored to be working with Women In Film, Lionsgate and Facebook on a project dedicated to giving more women the opportunity to be creatively heard."
