Takipsilim: Twilight, Filipino Version

by PromdiBlogger on December 27, 2008

I know it’s hair raising. A Twilight Filipino Version? What could ABS-CBN be thinking? The rights to do the  Twilight tv version Takipsilim was allegedly bought by ABS-CBN for $1 million.  They could be banking on the novel and movie’s popularity to be a hit among Filipinos.

I wonder if they can pull it off considering all the negative reactions from Twilight fans. There’s even a website petitioning to stop the local adaptation of Twilight.

However, there are bloggers who believe that this is just a hoax. There was no official news from the ABS-CBN and looking at the poster that is spreading on the net it’s obvious that it’s been Photoshopped.

The supposedly unofficial cast of Takipsilim includes:

Rayver Cruz as Edward Cullen
Shaina Magdayao as Isabella Swan
Valeen Montenegro as Alice Cullen
Gabby Concepcion as Dr. Carlisle Cullen
Luis Manzano as Emmett Cullen
Al Tantay as Charlie Swan
Yayo Aguila as Renee Dwyer
Fred Payawan as Jacob Black
Carlos Agassi as James
Chin Chin Gutierrez as Esme Cullen
Karylle as Rosalie Hale
Joross Gamboa as Jasper Hale
Jessy Mendiola as Jessica Stanley
Empress Schuck as Angela Weber
Brad Murdoch as Laurent
Nikki Bacolod as Victoria
Aaron Villaflor as Mike Newton.

So, what do you think, is it true or a hoax? Let’s just wait and see. Either way, it will be fun. If Twilight is Takipsilim then we should all watch out for the sequels.

New Moon – Bagong Buwan
Eclipse – Eklipse
Breaking Dawn – Bukang Liwayway

Takipsilim is the most ridiculous thing ABS-CBN could do.
So unoriginal and a little too O.A.
Kelangan ba lagi nalang silang maki-in?
I’m so against this and if it’s true then I hope it won’t push through.

this letter is for abscbn and some twilight fans who also disagree with the filipino version:
.~x~X~x.
actually, the movie is so-not-good that’s why i disagree on your plans.. dont mess the movie.. nor the book.. we, twilight fans, are not satisfied with the movie.. that’s why we dont like abscbn to make a filipino version of twilight.. and think about the script!!. if your gonna change the script into tagalog version, it will be so “corny” and BADUY!! yuck!. we love the book that’s why we dont like the book to be ruin anymore.. if your not going to change the script into tagalog and keep the english script we might not like it either cause filipinos are not so good in speaking english.. like they said “nosebleed”!!. if abscbn is trying to prove anything that they are much better than gma, there are other ways to prove it and doesn’t need to be the twilight filipino version. and maybe you should do some local movies like “jose rizal” etc. and if you do the twilight it proves that you have a collonial mentality. and NOBODY WILL GONNA WATCH THE MOVIE BECAUSE WE KNEW THAT IT WILL STINK!! LIKE JACOB!! over my pile of ashes!!. lalangawin lang yan promise.. dont waste your money and time on making the movie that will never ever be a blockbuster movie.. remember time is gold.. please consider our opinion regarding the movie making.. thank you!!

ABS-CBN had already dined this news/issue but I suggest they should GO for it will make the Filipino fans happy and would make the station famous but they should stick with the original story and change the cast their not fit with the characters.

omg! it is post at Elive kanina.. So cnu ba tlga ang nagpacimla ng issue na to! omg! nilinaw na kanina sa ELIVE na it is not true.. bilang solid kapamilya, ayoko na sirain nila ang pangalan at reputasyon ng ABS-CBN ginamit pa nila ung istasyon para makapanloko…
Nuh ba yan, ung mga picx nga na ginamit di2 ay niretoke lng at kinuha pa sa mainly events ng mga artista namely, shaina magdayao ay rayver cruz, ano bang gus2ng palabcn ng gumawa ni2? kung sakaling gagawa ma ang abs ng version ni2, they will try na ibahin to.. iba ang abs-cbn, di nila aim ang makapanloko ng viewers.. At kinonfirmed sa ELIVE w/ direk cathy molina na di nia kayang pagsabayin ang 2 shows at the same time, dineney rin i2 ng mga diumanong stars ngb takip silim na si rayver at shaina.. Di nmn cguro cla liaR!!
I hate kung cnung gumawa ni2!!
GOd bless na lng!

pipol tigilan na natin ito, di naman kelangan na magalit tayo sa ABS, tsaka klaro naman eh na di sila maygawa taz wala rin kinalaman ang mga artista na nabanggit at kung sino man ang may pakana ng lahat, well, nagtagumpay nga sila nah magalit tayo at maisyu ito., sa tingin ku ayaw lang nila sa twilight kaya ganyan, parang its a form of paninira kaya nga lang wag naman sana na mandamay pa, at respeto nalang rin sana sa amin nah humahanga sa twilight.., pero i hope this will end., wala din naman itong patutunguhan baka pa makasira sa pangalan ng bansa.,
