Deana Newcomb/Summit Entertainment Looks likeTwilightfans are in for a treat this fall, as the vampire saga teases a return to theaters. The official Instagram account for the blockbuster franchise shared an image of Bella, Edward, and Jacob — the central human, vampire, and werewolf characters played byKristen Stewart,Robert Pattinson, andTaylor Lautner— with the words "Forever Begins Again," "The Twilight Saga," and "This October." The post was captioned, "Tomorrow," teasing more details to come on Thursday. The account's collaborators on the post were film company Lionsgate, which acquiredTwilightproduction company Summit in 2012, and Fathom Events, which brings classic movies and special filmed events to theaters and shared the post on its own account. There arefive titlesin the romantic vampire tale:Twilight(2008),The Twilight Saga: New Moon(2009),The Twilight Saga: Eclipse(2010),The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1(2011), andThe Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2(2012). Oct. 5 is the 20th anniversary of the release of the first book in author Stephenie Meyer's supernatural series, which the movies are based on. To say that Twi-hards — hard-core fans of the franchise — who saw the post were excited about a new development is an understatement. They speculated that Bella's love triangle with vampire Edward and werewolf Jacob would play out once more in theaters or that there might be a new movie, animated TV series, or even book.
