Rumors suggesting The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn would be split into two films received a boost of confidence after Deadline Hollywood reported the deal was all but done.
Multiple sources have informed DH that Summit Entertainment will shoot both Breaking Dawn films back-to-back starting this October. All the principle cast including Taylor Lautner, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart would return and be featured prominently in both films.
In addition, Summit is currently looking at “high end” directors to finish off the Twilight film saga. Earlier rumors had suggested New Moon director Chris Weitz might return for Breaking Dawn but this report would indicate otherwise.
Screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg, who has penned every Twilight screenplay, is currently hard at work on Breaking Dawn. She has been at it long enough for Summit to make the call on whether Breaking Dawn will be one or two films.
Summit has yet to acknowledge this report and probably won’t until they are ready to make an announcement and have all their ducks in a row. Deadline Hollywood is rarely wrong, but sometimes plans change due to the early nature in which they receive scoops.
