It's Official! 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn' Gets The Green Light!

"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" production has been greenlit by Summit
Entertainment and publisher Alan Baltes has the latest information.







BURBANK, Calif., Oct. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- The fourth saga in the Twilight
Series is going back to it's roots and will be filmed in Portland, Oregon. The
original Twilight film was shot there. In addition, a new production company,
Sunswept Entertainment, has been brought on board for Breaking Dawn. Sunswept
Entertainment was created by Karen Rosenfelt, who is the daughter of former
MGM Chairman & CEO Frank Edward Rosenfelt. Karen Rosenfelt served as Producer
on both "Twilight" and on "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse". She did not work on
"New Moon", but is producing "Breaking Dawn" through her Sunswept
Entertainment banner.


There will likely be quite a bit of tweaking to the fourth novel in the series
due to the explicit sex and birth scenes to avoid an R rating. Inside sources
confirm that Breaking Dawn may be filmed and released in two parts - "The
Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part I", and "Part II". Although this has not
been confirmed officially by Summit, author Stephenie Meyer has stated, "It
would have to be made into multiple movies because it's hard to imagine it
fitting into ninety minutes".


Fans can expect a massive talent search for the role of Renesmee Cullen, the
half-vampire, half-human daughter of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan, just as
there was for the roles of Seth and Leah Clearwater in "Eclipse".


David Slade is directing "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse", but it is unknown if he
will also direct any of the Breaking Dawn films. "Breaking Dawn: Part I"
should start shooting in September 2010, with a release scheduled for 2011.

ooh 2 films?
Is it mentioned on the summit website?
The you know it's completely true :-) xxx

not sure..but heard quite a lot they're doing 2 x

Well their website still says New Moon in in production so hopefully they just haven't updated in a while! xxx

haha abit out of date then!! Hopefully they just haven't bothered then,so hope that news article is true!xxx

I hope so tooo! Would be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO silly not to do Breaking Dawn! xxx

esp as they're doing the host

I know!
They can't NOT do the ending! xxx

i would get very angry!! and this is never good!!!

I think ALOT of people will be really P'ed off if they don't do it! xxx

How does Eclipse end?
Do you think they might change it a lil so it could just be the end?
In case they don't do Breaking Dawn xxx

haha you're asking me?!
i so don't remember eeek!

i really need to read them all again!!

lool. I just can't remember how it end. Like if they leave it hanging or they could make it the end if you knnow what I mean!
I want tot re-red at least Twilight and New Moon before I see New Moon lol.
Dunno if I can though lol xxx

i can't remember anything, i know breaking dawn has a fairly open ending, which is why i was surprised she isn't doing any more x

I read she might later on do more twilight books. But not from Bella POV. Maybe a Cullen or something? xxx

i know she has the edward one for twilight, but i dunno... i like reading as bella x

Yeh I do too.
She said she won't be going back to Midnight Sun for ages (It's locked in a safe she said), as alll the people begging her to complete it makes it harder as she has to be in the zone or something. Makes sense...
Also she's done with Vampires at the moment so I don't think she'll do anything Twilight related soon :-(.
Will try and find it to copy and paste here:

To address the many, many questions about Midnight Sun:

I’ve found that there really isn’t any answer I can give that changes the substance or tenor of the myriads of requests, pleadings, and demands I get for Midnight Sun to be finished, so I feel a little silly answering that question at all. But it’s the most popular question, so I’ll take another stab at it.

I am not working on Midnight Sun now. I don’t have a plan for when I’ll get to it; I don’t know now what the right time for it will be.

In your questions, there were some erroneous conclusions about the situation which I’ll try to set straight. First, Midnight Sun is not finished and locked in a safe, waiting for me to be done angsting over the leak. If it were done, I would be throwing it on the bookstore shelves myself. I’d love to be able to give it to all the people who are anxiously waiting for it. Second, I am not upset about the leak. I haven’t been for a long time; I was over it after about three weeks. Third, and most important, I am not trying to punish anyone. Not the persons who leaked it, not the people who read the leak, nobody. As I said, it would make me very happy to be able to give it to anyone who wants it.

So why the hold up? Because it’s not finished and lying in a safe. It’s not done, and finishing it is not a simple matter of sitting down in front of my computer and typing out the words; the words have to be there in my head to type out, and right now, they’re not. I have to be in the zone to write any story, and trying to force myself into that zone is a waste of time, I’ve found. I’ll get back to Midnight Sun when the story is compelling to me again. Just because people want it so badly does not make it more write-able; kind of the opposite, actually. I need to be alone with a story to write, and Midnight Sun feels really crowded, if you know what I mean.

People write for different reasons. I have always written to make myself happy. If I’m enjoying a story, feeling the creativity flow, engrossed in a world, then I write and I write fast. If I’m not into it, I can’t write. I’ve never been someone who writes on demand and I can’t imagine working that way. As cool as it would be to say to my favorite author, “You know, I’d really like to read a great book about a narwhal mafia. Write that for me, ’kay?” or even “I’d love a sequel to that last one,” that’s not how it works. How it works is that my favorite author writes a new book about whatever he/she is interested in. Maybe it takes a year, maybe it takes five. If it’s something I want to read, I buy it or I check it out at the library. If not, I find something else to read. The end.

(All of this goes for writing about vampires in general, too. Vampires and I? We’re on a break.)

I’m pretty sure this won’t slow the pleadings and the demands, but I didn’t want you to think I was ignoring the question.

In the meantime, there are so many great books out there. I’ve got some recommendations on my site, and any librarian would love to show you more options. Same goes for independent bookstore employees. Ask for guidance, and they will fill your arms with awesomeness!

:-( xxx

i think she is a big fat poo head!

I know.. I thought it was a bit harsh how she worded it...
Their YOUR fans! Should be greatful people are so desperate for her books!
