“The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn” Gets The Green Light!
The fourth saga in the Twilight Series, “Breaking Dawn” is going back to it’s roots and will be filmed in Portland, Oregon. David Slade is directing “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse“, but it is unknown if he will also direct any of the Breaking Dawn films. In addition, a new production company, Sunswept Entertainment, has been brought on board for “Breaking Dawn.” Karen Rosenfelt, daughter of former MGM Chairman & CEO Frank Edward Rosenfelt, served as Producer on both “Twilight” and on “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse“. She did not work on “New Moon“, but is producing “Breaking Dawn” through her Sunswept Entertainment banner.
There will likely be quite a bit of tweaking to the fourth novel in the series due to the explicit sex and birth scenes to avoid an R rating. Inside sources confirm that Breaking Dawn may be filmed and released in two parts – “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part I“, and “Part II“. Although this has not been confirmed officially by Summit, 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”.
“Breaking Dawn” Story: To be irrevocably in love with a vampire is both fantasy and nightmare woven into a dangerously heightened reality for Bella Swan. Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for Edward Cullen, and in another by her profound connection to werewolf Jacob Black, she has endured a tumultuous year of temptation , loss, and strife to reach the ultimate turning point. Her imminent choice to either join the dark but seductive world of immortals or pursue a fully human life has become the thread from which the date of two tribes hangs. Now Bella has made her decision; a startling chain of unprecedented events is about to unfold with potentially devastating and unfathomable consequences.
Fans can expect a massive talent search for the role of Renesmee Cullen, the half-vampire, half-human daughter of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan, just as there was for the roles of Seth and Leah Clearwater in “Eclipse”.
“Breaking Dawn: Part I” should start shooting in September 2010, with a release scheduled for 2011. [Source: AB Media]
There is no explicit sex scene in Breaking Dawn. It is done very tasteful and left to the imagination.
They should definately leave everything in…By the time the movie comes out, the fans that were 13/14 during the first movie will be around 16 and plenty old enough to see the movie.
Besides, if they were old enough to read it, they should be old enough to watch it.
ok there better be sex scenes ans the birth in the movie i have read all the books and have imagined them. Kids go and see R rated films all the time. Thats my thoughts!
Explicit sex scenes???? Where can I get THAT copy? I wanna see SOME action in there for crying out loud! BTW you can get away with a lot in a PG13 movie. I have seen them push the limits and they SHOULD for this one! This movies is for older teens and up. They can handle some steamy scenes and Bella’s C-section. Make it real! PLEASE!!!!!!!
They need to change the ending and friggin kill some of the Vulturi or at least put up a good fight. No one wants to see an army of wolves and vamps lined up to kill each other and then they call a truce. It was a sweet story book ending but I wanna see some ACTION! I’m just sayin…..
They HAVE to play AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE to the book or it will SUCK
