Edward Cullen and Bella Swan have dominated the silver screen since Twilight (2008) premiered in '09 and blew up at the box office. When November '09 rolled around and The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009) was set to open, fans had pre-purchased tickets three months in advance just to get in on opening night. We are only months away from the theatrical release of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010) and fans are already planning their trip to Grauman's Chinese Theatre for the star-stuffed premiere.
Due to the extreme popularity of the Twilight films, it is only natural that rumors surround the last film The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (2011). Experts have speculated on directors tied to the project such as Gus Van Sant, and fans have questioned the capability of film makers to implement the technology needed to create Renesmee Cullen. Everyone has an opinion on the film, and as new rumors run rampid, we have uncovered the truth behind the making of Breaking Dawn.
IMDb lists The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (2011) as a film that is currently in pre-production. However, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Ashley Greene, Anna Kendrick, and Peter Facinelli are the only names tied to the film. That is a major red flag considering actors Kellan Lutz, Jackson Rathbone, Nikki Reed, and Billy Burke play a major role in the final installment. Even though the movie database lists the film and some of the actors, it is apparent that the information is not complete.
Kellan Lutz, whom according to IMDb, isn't even listed in the film hinted to the fact that Breaking Dawn was a go. Last month, the actor expressed his opinions about the last installment in the Twilight Saga being shot in 3-D. Lutz told reporters, "I heard they were talking about [making Breaking Dawn in 3-D]. I don't really care to see it in 3-D. 3-D kind of hurts my eyes anyways." This omission prompted fans to believe that the film is all set and ready for production, but it is not.
All the rumors and speculation surrounding this film is surley dizzy, but we finally have the official word from the studio. A rep for Summit Entertainment reports to GossipCop, "There is still no start date, no director, no production schedule, and no decision about whether Breaking Dawn will be one or two films."
Breaking Dawn will get made, but the details are currently being worked out behind closed doors. Due to the complex subject matter, a lot of technical detail will need to be mapped out before this film can begin production.
