The novel leaked in 2008 and Meyer, jaded by the internet world, halted all work on it and published the 12 completed chapters on her website. If this alternate POV Twilight sounds like a serious case of deja vu to you, it’s because Meyer’s been working on Midnight Sun since the 2000s, sharing the novel with Twilight film director Catherine Hardwicke and Robert Pattinson, who would go onto play Edward Cullen in all five Twilight films. “I’m so excited to finally be able to share it with you.” Hopefully this book can be a distraction from the real world,” Meyer said to Good Morning America. It didn’t seem fair to make you wait anymore. It’s a crazy time right now and I wasn’t sure if this was the right time to put this book out, but some of you have been waiting for just so, so long. “I am very excited to finally, finally announce the release of Midnight Sun on August 4. The author announced to Good Morning America, and immediately her website went down.

Considering all the information between the two books, it might work well as a TV mini series that swaps between their personal perspectives.Stephenie Meyer’s Midnight Sun, a novel that accounts the events of her hit 2005 novel Twilight through vampire Edward Cullen’s point of view, will hit shelves on Aug. Midnight Sun could be made completely from Edward’s perspective or it could switch between his and Bella’s POV. It could be a clever way to approach a remake for the property because it would give fans more content than 2008’s Twilight could. But what if the book flies off bookshelves and revitalizes the Twilight era? It would make it the optimal time for Summit to jump back into the property that made them $3.3 billion worldwide.Ī Midnight Sun movie is possible, but it would act as something of a Twilight remake with a brand new cast portraying the teen characters since they are in their 30s now. Chances are for now Midnight Sun is a more of a book for the fandom after years without the entire fifth book. Lionsgate has already signed a movie deal with Suzanne Collins for it to become a movie before it has even been released. Is it too early to talk about a Midnight Sun movie? Maybe, but look at what happened to the coming Hunger Games prequel.
