A recent story popped up on the AP recently, though, which indicated that the possibility of that happening is growing slimmer thanks to internal violence issues associated with the city. "Riofilme, the city's agency for promoting movie production, told AFP that 'Twilight''s US production company Summit Entertainment was in talks with Rio de Janeiro state officials who were trying to convince them to stay. The original plans were for scenes from the movie "Breaking Dawn," the fourth and final installment in the vampire fantasy, to be played out in the Brazilian city which is famed in equal measure for its spectacular beaches and its rampant street crime. But the real-life drama Saturday of drug gang members taking 35 people hostage in Rio's Intercontinental Hotel as they tried to escape police has proved scarier to the production crew than the fictional vampires and werewolves they deal with."
It would seem, then, that taking production on Breaking Dawn to Brazil has definitely been a consideration.
According to Twilight Lexicon, Summit Entertainment has issued an official statement with regard to the matter, saying "The possibility of filming portions of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN in Brazil has always been under consideration and we are continuing to scout locations within the country."
