DEADLINE HOLLYWOOD: ‘BREAKING DAWN’ WILL BE MADE INTO 2 BACK-TO-BACK MOVIES

We have breaking news from Nikki Finke’s Deadline Hollywood! Nikki is reporting that Breaking Dawn will be made, and not only that, but it will be made into two movies which will be filmed back-to-back.

I have this from several sources, and it’s definitive. Filming on the back-to-back movies would begin in mid-October, and Summit Entertainment is looking at “high-end” directors. Breaking Dawn is the longest in Stephenie Meyer’s 4-book series lengthwise and it’s the most graphic — presenting birth, attempted murder, death, and of course vampire bites. Published on August 2, 2008, it has a happy ending for most of the characters. Divided into 3 parts, the 1st and 3rd sections are told from the point of view of Bella (Kristen Stewart), and the second section from the perspective of Jacob (Taylor Lautner). It prominently features all 3 favorite characters including Edward (Robert Pattinson).Summit Entertainment no doubt will save money by making these Twilight Saga movies #4 and #5 back to back. Screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg (who’s written all the Twilight Saga films) is currently adaptingBreaking Dawn.

Remember there is no confirmation from Summit Entertainment yet. Deadline Hollywood tends to be a good source, but until we hear from Summit, this is all rumor still. (A happy rumor!)
