Breaking Dawn Dilemma: What will it take for 2 films?
My TwiLife —
There has been nothing confirmed by Summit yet about 'Breaking Dawn', but Variety sheds some light on what may be the hold up on the go ahead: The two-week $481 million worldwide gross of "New Moon" has vaulted Summit Entertainment into the big leagues, but it also has created a high-class challenge for toppers Rob Friedman and Patrick Wachsberger. They will likely have to cut a few ...
Summit wants fan favorite Chris Weitz to direct 'Breaking Dawn'
Twilight News Resource —
According to Variety, fan and cast favorite director Chris Weitz is being considered to direct "Breaking Dawn." But finding a director for the last installment of the saga is not the complication that Summit is up against. They also have to consider the huge pay increase of Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner who only signed in for 4 movies. If "Breaking Dawn" becomes two films, then that means a hefty paycheck for the trio who are no international superstars. Read the article below from Variety. The two-week $481 million worldwide gross of "New Moon" has vaulted Summit Entertainment into the big ...
Summit's 'Twilight' dilemma: Splitting last novel into two films means expensive talks
Kristen Stewart Fans —
The two-week $481 million worldwide gross of "New Moon" has vaulted Summit Entertainment into the big leagues, but it also has created a high-class challenge for toppers Rob Friedman and Patrick Wachsberger. They will likely have to cut a few big checks if they decided, as rumored, to split Stephenie Meyer's final "Twilight" novel, "Breaking Dawn," into two pictures. Sources said Summit has set Melissa Rosenberg -- who wrote the first three films -- to finish the series, but Summit has to clear several hurdles before Rosenberg learns how many more scripts she'll write. One of those hurdles is figuring out whether "New Moon" director Chris Weitz ...

With the success of New Moon, it left no doubt that Summit Entertainment has a huge franchise in their hands. Its lead stars are known globally and are constantly part of the media limelight.

Summit execs would not comment, but multiple sources said the company wants to go the two-film route, which means reopening negotiations and securing approval from the author.

Could There Be A Fifth Twilight Movie?
SFX —
[image] With New Moon easily "eclipsing" its predecessor at the box office (it has for made $474 million worldwide, whereas the first film made $380 in its entire run) it’s no wonder that Summit, the production company behind the Twilight films, is looking for ways to milk its cash cow for all its worth. Consequently, according to Variety Summit is considering going down the Harry Potter route, and splitting the final book, Breaking Dawn, into two films. The company is also sounding out New Moon director, Chris Weitz, about the possibility of him shooting both films ...

Can Summit Convince Chris Weitz To Put 'Gardener' On Hold & Shoot Two 'Breaking Dawn' Films Back To Back?
The Playlist —
[image] Now that Summit 's " The Twilight Saga: New Moon " has amassed an almost unholy $481 million dollars worldwide in two weeks of release ($230 million domestically), the studio is setting its vampiric sights on what's next and no, we don't mean the third installment, " The Twilight Saga: Eclipse ." Directed by David Slade (" 3o Days Of Night ") the third film in the 'Twilight' series is already shot and in the can and will hit theaters next summer on June 30 (every third MTV report says how guy friendly it will be with more action and aggression, fyi). No, what Summit is now looking at is how to proceed with " Breaking Dawn ," the fourth and final chapter of the series and the only picture in the franchise they didn't set a date for a year out.

Twilights Fourth book BREAKING DAWN to be Split into 2 Films
GeekTyrant —
Summit Entertainment is looking to make as much money as they possibly can from Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight girly vampire books. And why not? The most recent film New Moon has made over $481 million dollars worldwide in two weeks! As much as I am not a fan of the Twilight series, they have developed a product and built an audience that is going to make them a lot of money. So splitting the last book, Breaking Dawn, into two films is good business. Hey, Harry Potter is doing it with The Deathly Hallows, and the fans are happy about it. I can only imagine the excitement of the Twilight fans.
What sucks for us that this means we will have to once again deal with the crazy Twi-Hards at ...

How Many Twilights Are Left For Movie Fans? [Twilight]
io9 —
While New Moon threatens to become the new Dark Knight, Summit Entertainment are pondering what to do with the last book in the series: Make it into a movie, or make it into two movies? By splitting Breaking Dawn into two separate movies, Summit would be following in Warners' Harry Potter footsteps; that studio will release the final novel, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in two installments on November 2010 and July 2011 respectively. But while such a move would mean the chance for two box office smashes instead of one, it also means renegotiating the contracts for the franchise's stars, as well as entering into new negotiations for approval from Twilight creator Stephenie ...

No one wants 'New Moon' to end
Screener —
The success of New Moon has brought the Twilight franchise to a whole new level. Among franchises, there are the ones that do better the second time around (Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen) and then there are the ones that do worse. By amassing a two-week total that exceeds the gross of the first film, New Moon is firmly among the franchise winners. Predictably, Summit is trying to stretch out the amount of Twilight ...
Twilight Triology May Be Extended For One More Film
Hot Momma Celebrity Gossip Blog —
(HMG) – Now don’t get too excited, Twihards, this has nothing to do with a new book. But the final film ‘Breaking Dawn’ may be split into two films to end the franchise.
It is a popular move for breakthrough series. Warner Bros. have chosen to do it with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and now Summit might be going the same way.
But there are a few problems keeping it from being a done deal.
First off all, it is crazy expensive to suddenly throw another movie into the mix. Just securing the lead actors, who have become international sensations, will be difficult and come with a heavy price tag.
Then you ...
Fourth Twilight Book To Be Two Movies?

Twilight: Breaking Dawn Breaking Into Two?
Horror-Movies.ca! —
With the third installment to the vampire series Eclipse due out in June, word about the fourth and final book in the series Breaking Dawn has been very sparse. A rumor here, a rumor there. Well Variety had word from sources close to Summit that they're still thinking about how to approach the final in the series. The issue falls down to if they should condense the 756page novel into a single film or break it into two parts. The two parts would be shot back to back and not in a single shoot before two seperate edits. The one confirmed part is that Melissa Rosenberg (who has penned all the screenplays) will also write the final script.However, problems arise after that: "...multiple sources said the ...
