<p>Best-selling author Stephenie Meyer has reworked popular vampire trilogy "Twlight Saga" by swapping the genders of central characters Edward Cullen and Bella Swan to celebrate its 10th anniversary.<br /><br /></p>.<p>Announcing the new edition, "Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined," the Arizona-based writer, who originally only intended to rewrite two chapters, said she wanted to do something fun for the 10th anniversary, reported Female First.<br /><br />"I wanted to do something fun for the 10th anniversary and the publisher wanted like a foreword and I thought, 'Well, maybe something more interesting."<br /><br />Meyer decided to rework the entire book in response to complaints from fans that Bella, who ultimately decides to become a vampire in order to be with Edward, was portrayed as the "typical damsel in distress."<br /><br />"It's always bothered me a little bit. Because anyone surrounded by superheroes is going to be... in distress. We don't have the powers. I thought, 'What if we switched it around a bit and see how a boy does,' and, you know, it's about the same."<br /><br />But she does not think the new edition will be made into a movie like the original, which starred Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. "I don't really see that happening," Meyer said.<br /><br />While the new plot is very similar to the original, the writer said there are key differences.<br /><br />"I do feel like it's really very much the same thing so I guess my hope is that maybe the younger readers will be reintroduced because a lot of my readers, you know, they're all 10 years older now and so there's a whole new generation."</p>
