After reading so many hateblogs...I have to say that I'm quite disappointed not because we (yeah, im pinoy :)) are copying another american film and we don't have originality, I am disappointed because Filipinos themselves don't even know how to receive this whole remaking thing objectively. Yeah, I said that "i can't really imagine ABS remaking it." but can't we give it a shot?
Most of us are saying that we don't have originality and that all we know is copy and copy and copy. In my opinion I think that there's really nothing wrong with ABS copying twilight. Americans copied asian movies too like shutter and the ring. What i can see here is that we, the Filipinos are afraid that this remaking might come out sucky and shameful knowing that we aren't really that good compared to how hollywood makes movies (duhh). Let's face it, compared to Hollywood movies we are sooo down there. But hey! our movies are not THAT bad. Our country is poor and ABS can't afford all those film stuff they use in America but at least the TV station is trying its best to cope with them. The best thing the audience can do is to support them.
(I think that the reason why most of the filipino TV stations in the country is copying american and other films is that the filipinos themselves are unpatriotic. They say that filipino movies are baduy. Most of the people I know don't even watch filipino TV series and movies. C'mon, do you watch Anne curtis' Dyosa? So I'm guessing that TV stations are imitating american films so they can attract people to watch (since the films are based on something american.)
In my opinion, a lot of Filipinos still don't watch Filipino films/series even if they are original. They just don't...simply because they're made by Filipinos.
...aND SERIOUSLY! do you guys think that they're gonna translate Forks to tinidor/s? :)) I don't think that filipinos are that stupid (unless they're trying to make it a comedy).
*sigh* Oh! and some say that it will not give justice to the book, hello?! The original one didn't also :)).
Another problem is the casting. People say that Filipino actors/actresses are not good enough and that no one can be Edward Cullen. hello?! The original cast wasn't that good also! and Robert Pattinson is so not Edward Cullen.
But i have to admit...I'm also nervous that the filipino version might come out ugly, but whatever! I bet the people behind Takipsilim are gonna do their best (they have to because they're gonna spend millions/billions for that) to present something good to the audience. If it comes out ugly? well, its fine for me because one thing is for sure: that the director, the actors, and everyone else responsible and part of Takipsilim did their best.
...and if their best wasn't good enough for you? It's not their fault.
*ok! i was soooooo into it :))*
