Big screen vampire Robert ÂPattinson will reportedly sink his fangs into one of the biggest contracts in Hollywood history with a $500 million Twilight TV deal.
Summit Entertainment — the studio that makes the monster-hit film franchise — is eyeing a TV spinoff based on the popular book and film series, and producers are willing to fork over fistfuls of cash to convince Pattinson to reprise his role as lovesick immortal Edward Cullen.
The 23-year-old actor could land as much as 1.5million-dollar an episode as part of the deal, which could kick in as early as next year, The Daily Star dished on Sunday. Pattinson’s co-star — and rumored real-life love interest — Kristen Stewart, who plays his on-screen human love Bella Swan in the The Twilight Saga, is also being pursued by parties close to the TV deal.
Both the stars would be free to work on the TV version almost immediately — they recently wrapped work on third film in the series, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.
