Twilight’ will shine sooner than expected

Hollywood taketh away, sure, but Hollywood also giveth.

Especially to fantasy fans.

Right on the heels of news that Warner Bros. decided to move the release of “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” from Nov. 21 to July 17 – of 2009! – Summit Entertainment announced that it will fill the void.

The company is switching the vampire-fantasy “Twilight,” which is based on the Stephanie Meyer series of novels, from its scheduled Dec. 12 release back to Nov. 21.

Spell-seekers to blood-suckers. Seems like a fair trade.
