Twilight Vampire Anime Hinted

Having seen Twilight just a couple of weeks ago, and being pleasantly impressed with it, I wish I could say I see the point of an anime adaptation. But I don't. Then again, I don't see the point of many other anime out there, so don't mind me. Instead, better dedicate your utmost attention to the movie's director Catherine Hardwicke, who seems to think that a Twilight anime is in the works.



Hardwicke dropped the hint in the commentary track from the movie's upcoming DVD version (releasing on March 21), according to Sci Fi Wire. Soon to be named SyFy, by the way.

"During the final sequence of the film, in which Stewart's Bella and Pattinson's Edward Cullen discuss transforming her into a vampire so the two of them can be together forever, Pattinson notices that he looks different from previous scenes. "I look Asian in this scene," Pattinson says. "I do, I look like an anime character."

Hardwicke responds, "Hey, I think there's going to be an anime version of this in Japan. So you will be an anime character.""

The movie itself is based on the first book in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight novel series. But while no other live-action films are announced at this time, an anime adaptation could easily cover all the books. So at least from that point of view, I guess it would make sense, after all. Hmm... You know what, it's actually not a bad idea.
