Come November this year, “The Twilight Saga” comes to an end as “Breaking Dawn Part 5,” the fifth installment, drops in theaters. For the time being, Summit Entertainment has no plans to reboot the franchise – at least, not now.

Rumors that Summit wouldn't just let its cash-cow die like that have been around for a very long time, even before author Stephenie Meyer announced she would not be writing about vampires for a while.

They recently picked up more speed as Meyer herself said in a press conference she would be very interested in doing a reboot on the occasion of the film's fifth anniversary or perhaps even later, if not possible otherwise.

That was all the spark needed to set the Internet on fire.

The rumor was picked up by Bloody Disgusting, which also had it from an inside sources that Summit was already meeting with people to see how they could spin the “Twilight” franchise to breath new life into it.

Summit, for all it's worth, is denying it.

“We are not remaking Twilight. We will happily support Stephanie Meyer if she decides to proceed in any way. But this will be the last one unless that should change,” Summit's Co-Chairman Rob Friedman says in a statement cited by The Twilight Lexicon.

That last part - “this will be the last one unless that should change” - is essential in understanding Summit's intentions with the franchise.

Bloody Disgusting, on the other hand, says a denial was just the thing they expected from the movie studio.

“As quickly as I predicted, Summit has denied our report using the age-old 'semantics card' that basically puts it all on the chest of creator Stephanie Meyer,” BD writes.

“The Twilight Saga” is based on Stephenie Meyer's four novels, with the final one being split in two, to make “Breaking Dawn Part 1” and “Part 2.”

It's one of the most lucrative film franchises of modern times and, just as importantly, with a fanbase that's already asking for more even though it's not over yet, so chances are it will not stop here.

In fact, most industry insiders agree that “Twilight” is simply too profitable to go away.
