The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' producer Wyck Godfrey says the story cannot be changed to draw in guys

Wyck Godfrey

In the pursuit of an expanded audience for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse - namely, to attract the male demographic - there are a few allowable measures to be taken, but one of them, according to producer Wyck Godfrey's recent feature in TIME Magazine is not changing the story.
TIME posited that Eclipse has created a window for the Twilight series films to welcome in a new, increasingly male audience what with the "noticeably more macho" trailers, a director - David Slade - who is famed for his male-friendly films in the past (who stated that the script for Eclipse "was a d**n good story"), and "tantalizing starlets like Kristen Stewart, Julia Jones and Nikki Reed."
While considerations, TIME explains, were made about the concept of having the wolves (including she-wolf "Leah Clearwater") remain tastefully nude for a sequence, nothing substantial was ever on the table for the changing.
"The most important thing in doing a book adaptation of a beloved series is, you have to make the movie work for the people who love the books," said the astute and historically very fan-friendly Wyck Godfrey. "We stick to the core of the books — and expand beyond that. But what you cannot do is change the story. People would kill you." Truer words, eh?
