Heads Up, 'Twilight' Fans: Exclusive 'Breaking Dawn' Footage to Air Tonight on ABC's 'Revenge'
by Richard Sharp
Just a quick head's up to all the "Twilight" fans out there. The ABC melo-drama "Revenge" will reportedly be airing a sneak peek of footage from "Breaking Dawn" during its airing tonight.
Twi-hard fan site Twilight Lexicon was the first to report the upcoming appearance of the footage, saying:
"This just in from Summit Entertainment, 'Featuring never-before-seen BREAKING DAWN – PART 1 wedding footage will air EXCLUSIVELY on ABC’s 'Revenge' this Wednesday evening at 10/9c.'"
Several other sites have reported on the sneak peek as well, though they have also been quick to point out that the fact that the clip will be wedding footage could very well just be rumors.
Nonetheless, you could do much worse off than sitting through an hour of "Revenge." The series is a real rarity - a beautifully produced and melodramatic series full of young beautiful people based on a time-honored literary classic. Translation: for such a trashy show, the writing actually is pretty good.
The show takes the basic plotline of "The Count of Monte Cristo," only replaces the male protagonist with a very attractive young heroine Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp), and places the setting in the toney climes of The Hamptons.
While "Revenge" wasn't nearly as heavily promoted as some of the other fall shows, it's been drawing solid ratings and has been confirmed for a full season. If they can keep slotting in exclusive "Breaking Dawn" footage, their success will certainly continue...
"Revenge" airs at 10 p.m. EST on ABC.
