December 1, 2009 - The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn / two movies?
Scooped on Tuesday, December 1, 2009
Variety casts a net of speculation as to whether Summit Entertainment will or won't split apart Stephenie Meyer's final Twilight novel, Breaking Dawn, into two separate films. With New Moon making new records at the box office it's should come as no surprise that Summit is thinking of more ways to stretch out their moneymaker into a quintet of movies. So far screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg hasn't been given the all-clear yet from the studio to adapt Breaking Dawn into two screenplays; there's still deals that have to be hammered out with Meyer and the film's trio of stars, all of which will cost Summit a lot of money (perhaps even as much as eight figures each for Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner.)
Rumor has it that the studio also wants New Moon director Chris Weitz to return and direct the final two films.
