In a new interview with New Moon-er Robert Pattinson, he mentions a possible start time for Breaking Dawn -

Q: Have you been told a tentative time that you might film Breaking Dawn?

Rob: I think the tentative for Breaking Dawn is Fall of next year. I think. They may well change that.

Honestly, I’m not overly shocked. We know its coming. Just waiting for the actual confirmation

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!

Mark Malkin of E!Online has a new interview with the Twilight Saga screenwriter – Melissa Rosenberg. He recently caught up with her at the Entertainment Weekly Women in Film pre-Emmy party -

Just because Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are such a perfect match on screen, Twilight screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg thinks it’s time we mind our own business about what goes once the cameras stop rolling.

“Their chemistry on film is so extraordinary,” Rosenberg told us at the Entertainment Weekly/Women In Film pre-Emmy party. “They were beautifully cast for those roles and their chemistry is amazing. I think people often confuse chemistry onscreen with chemistry offscreen.

“I think people should just enjoy what’s onscreen and leave their privates lives wherever they are,” she continued. “I don’t actually know what they are.”

So what scoop did Ms. Rosenberg tell us about our fave vampire movies? Read on to find out…

First up, Breaking Dawn. Rosenberg is not allowed to could not confirm she’s going to be tackling the script. “That’s still up in the air,” she said. “We’re still talking and nothing’s been decided.”

Eclipse’s Riley (Xavier Samuel) will have a much bigger presence in the movie than he has in Stephenie Meyer’s novel. “This is a character that’s really interesting and I got a chance to flesh him out,” Rosenberg said, adding, “It’s going to be really interesting watching the relationship between Riley and Victoria [Bryce Dallas Howard] growing.”

Interesting. I wonder how ‘big’ Riley’s part actually is? Personally, his relationship with Victoria is of no interest to me! They should just scratch that and add extended tent scenes!

In an new interview with HitFix New Moon human Anna Kendrick talks about filming New Moon while filming her other movie Up In The Air. She also talks about New Moon director Chris Weitz, and  touches base on Breaking Dawn and whether or not she’ll be back if it is made into a movie  -

Q: OK, the ‘Twilight’ questions you knew were coming.  Did you shoot ‘Air’ after ‘New Moon’

[Actually] I went to shoot ‘New Moon’ while I was still shooting ‘Up in the Air.’ I had to run back and forth.

Q: Was that hard?

It’s funny because the characters are so different and I was wrapped up in Natalie world, but Jessica, the character that I play in the series, is such a silly girl it was almost like a little escape to go and just play and just monologue about nothing.  Basically, I would go up to Vancouver and shoot a scene where something was [already] written, but [director] Chris Weitz would tell me to keep talking because we had to do all of it in one take as a ‘walk and talk’ and have it feel the space. So, he’d just tell me to say random stuff and it was like stretching in the middle of doing a marathon.

Q: Do you know if you’ll be back for ‘Breaking Dawn’ if and when those movies happen?

It does feel like to us — when I say ‘us’ I assume people know I’m referring to the human characters — it feels like it’s probably coming to a close.  We appear in a dream sequence or one sequence in the book of of ‘Breaking Dawn’ so I don’t know if we’ll be back for it and we’re only signed up for three, because the three books were only out when we made the first film.  So, I don’t know that we will be involved in ‘Breaking Dawn,’ but it’s a really fun thing to go back to. Particularly when I go back for this short period of time it feels like I’m going back to summer camp and I’m seeing my friends from summer camp.

Q: You’ve dealt with three different directors this year.  Has that been refreshing? Have you enjoyed it?

I am trying to pit them all against each other. I’m trying to get Jason and Chris Weitz in a fight, (Laughs.)  No, it’s so fun it’s so interesting. I’m probably the luckiest girl on earth, let’s be honest.  It is really fun to work with everybody.

Summit Entertainment has pretty much stated that Breaking Dawn will only be made into one movie. We’ll just have to wait and see, as we haven’t even received anything ‘official’ as of yet!

[Thanks, Jenlillian!]

In a new article over at E! Online, Mark Malkin reports that he as exclusive information concerning Breaking Dawn straight from a Summit Rep -

While there’s been no official announcement that all systems are go for a fourth Twilight flick, a rep for Summit Entertainment promises that Eclipse will not be the last we see of Robert Pattinson & company…

“The fans should rest assured the we’re working with Stephenie Meyer to bring Breaking Dawn to the big screen,” the rep said. “As in all creative processes, things take time. We want to make sure we get it right.”

And as Twilight fans know, that probably means softening the more hard-core aspects of Breaking Dawn.

“Our fans are in the PG age range, and I don’t feel a big necessity to see violence and to see gore,” Twilight/New Moon/Eclipse screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg told us in late April.

Gore or not, Kristen Stewart probably said it best when we chatted with her in March.

“We all really hope there is going to be a number four,” she said at the time. “I’m pretty confident that the fans aren’t going to…lose interest. The only case that a fourth one wouldn’t be made is if all of a sudden people stopped caring, and I really don’t think that’s going to happen.”

Interesting! I’m still going with my theory that nothing will be officially announced until New Moon has had its first numbers come in from the box office opening weekend!

What do you guys think?

[Thanks, TSH!]

There’s a new rumor out in the wilderness that the fourth book of the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn will be split into three films:

Summit Entertainment has acquired the rights from Stephenie Meyer to film and distribute Breaking Dawn, the fourth novel in her series. Breaking Dawn is in the early pre-production stages. There will likely be quite a bit of tweaking to the novel due to the explicit sex and birth scenes to avoid an R rating.

Sources say that Breaking Dawn will be filmed and released in a new trilogy – “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part I”, “Part II” and “Part III”. This has not been confirmed officially by Summit, however 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”.

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

Consider this all wilid hearsay until further notice–it comes from the sometimes-accurate, sometimes-not-so-accurate Acting411.

It’s certainly an interesting topic of discussion, though–would you want Breaking Dawn to be split into multiple movies?

[thanks, TSH!, Pic]
