January 11, 2010 - The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn / Wyck Godfrey on movie
Scooped on Monday, January 11, 2010
Melissa Rosenberg is writing the screenplay for Breaking Dawn right now, all three main stars are signed and the producers are still on the fence as to whether to split the story up into two movies. That's what Twilight producer Wyck Godfrey said about the current development status of Breaking Dawn, the final Twilight novel to be adapted into a film.
"The issue [of whether there will be one or two movies] is not going to be resolved until we get the full treatment and see whether it's organic," Godfrey told The Los Angeles Times. "If it's not organic, I don't think it will be done, and if it is, it will be. It really has to do with how much level of detail from the books there is, with all of these new vampires that appear in 'Breaking Dawn,' the whole section about Jacob... It's a very long single movie if it does become a single movie."
On whether the creators have narrowed down their list of directoral candidates: "We're just focused on the treatment and getting that right. At that point, we're going to see who's available and who's appropriate. It's such a complicated book because you have the emotions and the intensity of the love story -- so you need somebody who's just a wonderful director of actors -- and yet it's really complicated from an action and visual effects standpoint. They've got to have both tools in their kit."
And on the complicated matter of bringing to life Renesmee, the daughter of Bella and Edward: "I keep having visions of [The Curious Case of] Benjamin Button in my head ... It's certainly going to be visual effects in some capacity along with an actor. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being a full CG creation, but it also may be a human shot on a soundstage that then is used to shrink down. I don't know. We need a director. When we get a director, that director will need to come with a point of view of how they want to tackle it."
