Washington Looks to Cash in on TWILIGHT's Benjamins

Share on Facebook

Raise your hand if you knew that the Cullens' hometown of Forks, WA is a real place.  Okay, now put your hand down if you don't live in the state of Washington.  If the citizens of Forks don't think they've gotten enough attention so far, they're about to get some more.

According to Cinematical, the town is soon to get its own reality show.  Note the word "reality."  No vampires, werwolves or longing stares between monsters and their high school girlfriends.  It's going to be a show revolving around the townfolk of Fork.

Why would this town necessitate a variety show?  For no other reason than it's where Stephanie Meyers set her novel.  Could there be any other reason?  If this works out, it will be a two-fold payout:  some network will cash in on the hugely popular movie franchise;  and Forks will get the overexposure its people may have always craved.

But seriously.  There is absolutely no purpose for this show, no matter how large an audience it may find.
