Twilight Being Adapted To Film

Summit Entertainment has set Catherine Hardwicke to direct Twilight, an adaptation of the fantasy novel that hatched Stephenie Meyer's best-selling young-adult series, Variety reported.

Melissa Rosenberg (Step Up) will write the script. Maverick Films' Mark Morgan will produce with Greg Mooradian.

Twilight tells the story of 17-year-old Bella, who moves to a small town to live with her father and is drawn to a pale mysterious classmate who comes from a family of vampires.

Meyer has published two more installments of the series, New Moon and Eclipse, with two more titles in the offing. It is the first potential franchise to be set up since Summit was reconstituted under Rob Friedman and Patrick Wachsberger last spring.
