"The coolest thing about the series is that we stay very true to the books; it would be silly for us not to, because the books are exactly what the fans want to see. There's an action side to it, which I love, and there are werewolves now. There aren't just vampires. There's a wolf pack"
About this Quote
Then he pivots to the real sales pitch: escalation. "Action side", "werewolves now", "There aren't just vampires" signals franchise growth, the second-movie problem solved by widening the sandbox. The books-as-bible reassurance calms purists; the creature expansion teases newcomers and lapsed viewers who might dismiss Twilight as all longing glances and moody forests. He is not debating themes; he is marketing variety.
The "wolf pack" tag is especially telling. It is less about lore than about identity: a new team, new tribal energy, new spectacle, and, not incidentally, a new heartthrob axis. In 2009-era fan culture, where shipping wars and online allegiance drove attention, introducing a pack isn't just narrative texture; it's an invitation to pick sides, remix clips, and keep the conversation burning between releases. Lautner is speaking as a participant in the franchise machine, but his pitch lands because it respects the fan contract while promising the dopamine hit of "more."
