Rumor: Breaking Dawn producers visit Rio for potential filming locations

Rumors are flying around that (though not confirmed or denied) that producers for Breaking Dawn have been in Rio de Janiero, Brazil, scoping out the area for potential filming.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn “producers” are in Rio, according to RioFilme’s director/president Sérgio Sá Leitão. Answering a query from a fellow twitterer about whether the Breaking Dawn producers had given up on Rio, Leitão tweeted that “they’re in Rio. I can’t give out any details. The decision will be made soon.” In a follow-up tweet, he added: “Breaking Dawn in Rio = Investments of US$1.5m in the city + creation of many jobs + great publicity for Rio + 1 gift to the fans.”
The three official Breaking Dawn producers are Wyck Godfrey, Karen Rosenfelt, and Twilight Saga author Stephenie Meyer. Whether any of those are in Rio, or if Leitão was referring to Summit Entertainment executives is unclear.
