Twilight’s Breaking Dawn Will Be Two Films?
By Krystal Clark
Summit Entertainment will do whatever it takes to hold on to their Twilight cash cow. The film’s sequel New Moon has raked in nearly half a billion dollars in worldwide ticket sales thanks to its devoted Twihard fanbase. With New Moon out, and Eclipse in post production that leaves the last and final book Breaking Dawn up for grabs.
First off, we all know that Summit will produce Breaking Dawn, but for some odd reason they’ve been keeping quiet about it. According to Variety, the question isn’t whether or not they’ll produce the film, it’s how they’ll produce it. Sources close to their camp are saying that the studio may steal something else from Harry Potter besides Robert Pattinson. The final book in the Potter series, The Deathly Hallows has been broken up into two parts, and Summit may do the same to Breaking Dawn.
If they do decide to take the two picture route all of the main cast members deals would have to be renegotiated, and they’ll need Stephenie Meyer’s story approval.This would be a smart business move for Summit, but they will need to film both installments back to back or simultaneously for consistency. Are they forgetting that half the cast are “teenage” vampires who are supposed to stay young forever? Some of those 20-something actors can’t pull that off for much longer, a couple of them are already pushing it.
If they split Breaking Dawn where should the first part end, and the second begin?

I think the 1st movie should end just after Bella has her baby and dies because book 1 and 2 are about the same length as the 3rd one in breaking dawn then the 2nd movie can just pick up from the 3rd book. i think its a good idea because after the 1st part when it comes to the end and Bella is dead people will be going "oh no! she can't die!" and want to see the 2nd movie more than ever, that would be a very smart move.

i dont think that would be right because then the audience is going to be dissapointed, because you'll be expecting something is not,! Just like in New Moon, we all know Bella is going to say yes, but NO they had to stop it theree!

IF Breaking Dawn is going to be 2 separate movies…which I don't think is the best idea. Why not just make it a double DVD set (like Titanic) and have the first one end when Irina sees Jacob, Bella and Nessie hunting. Then have the second deal with the Volturi and all the new vampires coming to witness for the Cullens.
