'Twilight' Sequel Already in the Works?

Here's a question: Should any studio greenlight a sequel based on advanced buzz and before the original even hits theaters? Sure, if you're a fan of the Twilight novels, I suspect you'd want the studio to greenlight, like, a billion Twilight sequels, like, right this second -- but wouldn't it be a risky move? Nikki Finke over at Deadline Hollywood claims Summit's already prepping the sequel (New Moon), though that's about as far as she goes with it. Finke, however, does state the obvious: that even though the first Twilight film isn't due out until November 21, the latest trailer was viewed over 3.5 million times in 48 hours, the Twilight soundtrack has already hit the Top 5 Best-Selling Albums on Amazon (despite the fact that it doesn't come out until November 4th) and the merchandise for this sucker rivals that of the boy wizard, Harry Potter.

Okay, so obviously there's an audience for not one film, but two -- yet what if that audience doesn't like the first installment? Is that even possible? Is this the sort of film fans will love no matter what the final product looks like? And do you really take a chance greenlighting a sequel with a film whose audience is not comprised of the oh-so-lucrative teen male population. Are teen and pre-teen girls (and their moms) enough to carry this entire franchise?

And for you Twilight fans out there: While early, is there anything different you'd like to see from the sequel?

    I really think that they should definitely start making the sequel now. From the trailer it looks like it's going to be a good one and I plan on going the day it comes out in theaters.

    they did that for the 1st superman...they were making the 2nd one even though the 1st one wasn't even done yet...so at least the twilight is possibly in the editing stage type place

    I actually know a group of girls that plan on coming over to see the movie's midnight showing, dressed as the characters in the movie, it's like their Star Wars.

    Of course the movie will be a huge opener, based on how gleefully girls have screamed over the trailers. But I really doubt that the movie would even go into 'Dark Knight' or 'Iron Man' numbers.
