The Vampire Diaries is NOT Twilight, Producer Says
All week long, we've been pitting The Vampire Diaries against the Twilight Saga in a round of analytical comparisons.
Now, producer Kevin Williamson - who created Dawson's Creek and wrote the movie Scream - is speaking out about the upcoming CW series. He wants potential viewers to know that it's anything but a Twilight rip-off.
"It's not just about vampires, its about all sorts of things that go bump in the night, Williamson told MTV. "I kept reading [the books] and I realized, this isn't Twilight at all, this is actually where a girl falls in love with a vampire, but that's where [the comparison] ends. It's like a modern-day sexy Dark Shadows and that was appealing."
The Vampire Diaries premieres on September 10 on The CW. We'll tune in for it. Will you?
When The Vampire Diaries takes on New Moon, everyone that likes hot guys, beautiful gals and forbidden romance wins!

Actually Vickian, Twilight is only that popular as a book because is was dumbed down enough so someone as narrow minded and stupid as you could understand it. After all, most Disney stars are really popular despite their lack of talent because people like you buy the CD's.
