You may remember that the night Lionsgate and Summit officially closed their merger deal, Lionsgate was quick to say that they’d love to release additional Twilight films or even a television series.

Now, Summit co-founder turned Lionsgate co-chair Rob Friedman is reiterating those statements.

He told reporters and analysts on a conference call this morning:

“If she (Meyer) wishes to do it, we’ll be there to support her” with a sixth film, said Friedman

Interestingly, Lionsgate seemed to hint that they’re working on a new vampire franchise:

Lionsgate executives on Friday did much to talk up the synergies between the two studios now that the brain trust behind the Twilight franchise is at work on the launch of the next possible vampire flicks franchise once The Hunger Games debuts next month.

Author Stephenie Meyer has made clear in the past that she thinks she’s finished with the Cullens for a while. Whatever she writes next, we’re sure she’ll show to Lionsgate.
