I took a short research about Takipsilim Movie or TV Series, the supposedly Tagalog version of the English movie Twilight today and I found out that someone has actually made some article over in Wikipedia bragging about the TV series allegedly an upcoming drama series by ABS-CBN. I say those links used to lure and deceive the expecting public can clearly be found in Wikipedia will be a clear lead to interests and can be used to pin down the culprit if this case worsens and proves to be false and misleading.

Those links cannot appear there if nobody put them there and no one will ever place those links if there is no intent by the responsible parties. This to some may be a good bait but to people like me who knows how the internet and showbiz in the Philippines work, this is a big false BAIT  with a lot of loopholes. This is a desperate move to take in the people’s consent and lure them to go sign up with some e-mail alerts and pin them using some pitch to see if the idea will be bought by the viewing public.

This is cheap effort and what exact pricing could ever be desperately provided for this original movie with a $ 1 million alleged buying price for the rights. C’mon, Ang Tanging Ina Nyong Lahat grossed 57 million pesos all over the Philippines paying in theaters by viewing public and you think that producers will be willing to buy a right for Twilight Movie for 46 Million pesos just to have it here as a TV series? Is this logical? And who are those responsible for this to think that the rightful owner of the Twilight Movie will sell the whole series for that price even if the other sequels aren’t yet shown?

With some original movie that has not yet seen the other remaining 3 sequels to the Twilight Saga and has earned literally more than $ 70 million of dollars (Twilight: $70,553,000 from Yahoo Answers) in theaters in the U.S. alone, not to mention about the other worldwide theaters that also showed the movie to the viewing public, this hoax of the Takipsilim tv series Tagalog version of Twilight Movie is some cheap move to fool the people who liked and loved the movie so much here in the Philippines.

I am not saying that I know everything about the internet but what I am saying is that those who are responsible for this false alarm and false claims can be seriously in to something. The intent to fool the public is clear and the tools used reveal it. Using or imitating the looks and image and characters which by the way are all under copyright earlier than a rumor of rights being bought at $ 1 million can be easily pinned down into really serious trouble of millions more worth of dollars for copyright case. STOP IT!
