Back in July of last year, Showtime nabbed the pay cable rights to Twilight, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (they also house Peter Facinelli's Nurse Jackie and Melissa Rosenberg's Dexter), and they began running Twilight on cable in January of this year.
Thanks to HitFix, it is now known that New Moon will be hitting Showtime for its cable debut on January 8th, 2011!
Back when it was announced that FX had obtained the rights to show the Saga on network television, it was noted that FX would begin showing the films in 2011. So, as New Moon approaches pay cable release, Twilight nears time to hit the networks!
The date for New Moon's cable debut makes sense since both Twilight and New Moon hit theaters in November and were released to DVD in March of the following year. The scheduling for the Showtime launch, then, falls in line with the parallel dates of significance that the two films have had so far.

The sad thing is that, for me, even though I have these movies on DVD and have seen them a bunch of times, if I were to be watching tv and came across it on Showtime or FX I'd still probably sit there and watch it. lol
I very much agree with that comment, sad but true. But at least it's not pathetic, then we would have a problem...lol
I'm with you. I have the DVD, but have been watching at least part if Twilight since January every time I see it on showtime! Just watched it again yesterday!
Alright, i can't wait to watch it! On a side note, where is the person called "Rose Hathaway" on here? she always leaves funny comments. :))))
Got something to say?
