As you all have heard, there are many MANY Breaking Dawn rumors floating around the internet!

One of the biggest rumors right now  is that Breaking Dawn (if it is made into a movie) will not be filmed in Vancouver, but in Portland Oregon (where Twilight was filmed), due to tax incentives, etc. Kelly at ThePortlander.com apparently has some ‘inside’ info, and Breaking Dawn is indeed being filmed in Portland.

It has also been reported by Lainey Gossip that the production crew for both New Moon and Eclipse have been told that they can find other jobs, that they are no longer needed (which just fueled the rumors even more!)

There are also reports that Breaking Dawn has been given the green-light and will be in two separate movies. FilmShaft.com reports  -

According to sources, the fourth and final story in Stephanie Meyer’s series will be released in two parts and production will once again take place in Portland, Oregon. In addition a new production company, Sunswept Entertainment, has been brought in for Breaking Dawn, which is due to shooting in September 2010.

Creator of Sunswept Entertainment, Karen Rosenfelt will produce, Rosenfelt also served as Producer on “Twilight” and “The Twilight Saga: New Moon“. A director has not yet been attached to the project.

According to sources there will likely be heavy censoring of Breaking Dawn’s explicit sex and birth scenes in order to avoid an ‘R’ rating. Although Summit have not confirmed that the film will be shot in two parts, author Stephanie Meyer has stated:

“It would have to be made into multiple movies because it’s hard to imagine it fitting into ninety minutes”.

So you ask, what do we think?

Rumors are what they are, Rumors. And until there is an official statement made by Summit Entertainment, I will sit here and patiently wait. Remember: New Moon and Eclipse were not announced until after Twilight hit theatres. I have been saying this for months now – I believe that anything pertaining to Breaking Dawn will be officially announced after New Moon has its first weekend (or week) at the box office. I could be wrong! I don’t think that Summit would take away from New Moon’s glory right now to announce Breaking Dawn, do you?

Why? Numbers = Money. Its all about numbers. Breaking Dawn is going to need A LOT of CGI (ahem – Renesmee ring any bells?). I think the payroll will be higher as well. Summit will need to know the revenue  New Moon is bringing in to figure out how much money they’ll have for Breaking Dawn. Its as easy as that!

What do you guys think? What are your Breaking Dawn theories?

Discuss!
