“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”.
Robert Pattinson Confirmed Shooting Of Breaking Dawn
Robert Pattinson (who is currently in Cannes) has confirmed that there will be a fourth film in the vampire series. He said the movie would be based on Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling novel, “Breaking Dawn.”
He was currently in the final days of shooting the second film, “New Moon,” in Italy and would start third movie, “Eclipse,” in October. Pattinson said his role in “New Moon” had been beefed up compared to the book, in which Edward is simply “a voice in Bella’s head”.
“You’re playing a figment in Bella’s imagination so I was trying to do it in a 2D way. I hope it doesn’t translate onscreen as being boring,” said Pattinson, laughing.
In between Twilight films, Pattinson said he plans to star in “Remember Me,” a film about a man who spends six weeks working out whether he loves someone or not.
Because of his other movie commitments, there was no definitive start date for the fourth movie, Pattinson added.

Twilight Fourth Novel “Breaking Dawn” To Break Down?
On Monday, it has been announced that “Breaking Dawn,” the fourth film based on Stephenie Meyer’s “Twilight” novels, has been given an early green light for production. Over the past two days, rumors have flown about whether a film based on the final book is already in some stage of pre-production and that work will begin on “Breaking Dawn” in the late spring of 2010.
But Summit Entertainment spokesman Paul Pflug declined to confirm or deny the report, saying only,
“Summit has no comment on that rumor at this time.”
If you ask the screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg, who is currently writing the script for the third movie, “Eclipse,” a fourth “Twilight” film is not a go – at least, not just yet:
“The most I’ve heard from Summit is ‘re-read it and start thinking about it.’”
Now sources say author Stephenie Meyer is wrestling with how the book can possibly be adapted for the target tween audience, considering its more mature subject matter. Meyer is worried about the fourth novel’s steamy sex scenes and a envelope-pushing birth scene, saying,
“As far as I know, Stephenie was still having meetings asking, ‘Can we really make this into a movie?’”
