Twilight Is Coming Back To Theaters For Its 10th Anniversary And We Have Exclusive New Artwork

It's hard to believe that it's been nearly 10 years since Twilight became a record-smashing phenomenon at the box office and its broody stars, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, then relative unknowns, ascended to household names whose glossy pictures adorned the bedroom walls of teens everywhere.


Yet come November the beloved girl-meets-vampire saga officially turns 10, and also you don't need to be Alice Cullen to know that something special is on the horizon. (And no, it's sadly not Stephenie Meyer's complete draft of Midnight Sun.) Right considering that, Bella Swan and Edward Cullen's love is eternal.


In honor of the huge milestone, Lionsgate's Summit Entertainment is releasing Twilight on 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack (plus Blu-ray and Digital) and all five Twilight Saga films with new collectible artwork on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack (plus DVD and Digital) on October 23. MTV News has the exclusive first look at the vibrant collectible prints, from award-winning artist Justin Erickson.


Each cover has a soft, romantic color palette — green to resemble Edward and Bella's iconic meadow scene in Twilight; red for the Volturi in New Moon, etc. — And concealed images from the films that fans will surely sink their teeth into. For Erickson, the foremost objective was to "service the fans and make them happy," he told MTV News.


"The first movie is all about the woods and the mist and the locations, so I added a lot of blues and greens, versus New Moon, which ends with that scene all the red cloaks. And Breaking Dawn [Part 2] had that snowy final confrontation," Erickson mentioned. "So specific scenes really speak to the color palette of the print."


sort in attempt to best capture the magic of the Twilight Saga, Erickson had to first re-familiarize himself with the world of the films. So he did what any dedicated fan would do: he watched all five films in one sitting and put himself in the mental perspective of a fan. "You have to question yourself, 'If I'm a fan of this movie, what was my main go to scene from that movie? What's the key scene and the big moment?' We wanted to have those moments featured on the covers."


While Erickson doesn't have a preference scene per se, he does deeply admire the lush landscapes of the film, all of which are reflected in the artwork. "Is it weird to mention that I was a really big fan of how they built the scenery? I love the production design and the cold, dreary locations."


And yes, he spent hours Google-searching photographs of Stewart, Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner — all in different lighting — to get the likeness of these beloved characters just right. "More essential that anything, it had to look like the correct people," he mentioned. "If it didn't look brilliant, no one would purchase it. So a lot of attention was given to making sure the likenesses were brilliant


Twilight will also return to theaters nationwide this October 21 for two days only as segment of the "Fathom Spotlight" series.


Not only will diehard fans get to rewatch Edward and Bella's meet-cute in biology class on the big screen for the opening time in years, yet the celebratory screenings will also feature an introduction by director Catherine Hardwicke and an exclusive sneak peek of the brand-new special feature "Twilight Tour... 10 Years Later," from the aforementioned Twilight 4K Ultra HD residence entertainment release.


To recap: event in the scenario that you need me, I'll be playing "Clair De Lune" on repeat to emotionally prepare myself for this October.
