Twilight Filming Set for Breaking Dawn After New Moon and Eclipse
Only days after Twilight news that the third film in the Twilight Saga, Eclipse, would begin filming on August 17, 2009, Twilight related details about the fourth Twilight film, Breaking Dawn, have come down the New Moon pike thanks in part to the confirmations of Robert Pattinson and Ashley Greene who reveal that Breaking Dawn will begin filming immediately after Eclipse.
After Robert Pattinson confirmed he was signed on for the fourth Twilight installment, Breaking Dawn, back in Cannes, we've all been dying for more juicy deets on the hypersexualized film. (More on exactly how much naughtier the flick will be, next week.)
Yes, we know we're getting overeager since the script for the third flick, Eclipse, which starts shooting Aug. 17, hasn't even been finished yet.
"I haven't seen a page," exclaimed Ashley Greene, who's heading back up to Vancouver to shoot the third Twi flick this summer.
Even though we're getting a tad ahead of ourselves, we tried to pry any dirt out of Ashley and Billy Burke last weekend on what's in store for the final movie.
"All I know is that, as of now, I only signed on to do three," B.B. told us. Coyly played Billy. Maybe he's just trying to keep all Twi dirt on the down-low, or it could be that the secondary castmembers haven't started negotiations. Rob and Kristen Stewart are locked in (after so much drama you have no idea—but you're not interested in that, right?), so that's all that matters.
But Breaking Dawn isn't exactly as far away as you all would think.
"We're going to start right after Eclipse," says Ash.
Summit would be pumping out this franchise as fast as possible to avoid any "bumps" in the road.
So will we see any repeat directors for the fourth film?
"I don't think so," says Ms. Greene. "[Eclipse director] David [Slade] and [New Moon director] Chris [Weitz] will both be busy in postproduction, and Catherine [Hardwicke] will be doing Hamlet."
And as much as everyone adored Chris, that's not going to happen because of "scheduling conflicts," we're told.
So there ya have it. Who do you all think should do the fourth one?
If there was any thought that the current Twilight Saga filming schedule was clipping along at a furious Twilight pace, the news that Breaking Dawn has already slid into pre-production is now putting the stars of the Twilight Saga, which also includes Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and Peter Facinelli, into a Twilight shooting overdrive.The Breaking Dawn novel was released on August 2, 2008 and sold over 1.3 million copies in only 24 hours. Stephenie Meyer, the author of the Twilight Saga, has also been credited as co-screenwriter next to main scriptwriter Melissa Rosenberg who penned the first three films.
One could say that executives at Summit Entertainment are obviously seeing the impending implosion of the vampire craze given the breakneck speed at which the Twilight Saga sequels are being produced. Breaking Dawn will focus on Bella and Jacob's perspectives following Eclipse, which is slated to wrap filming on October 31 before Breaking Dawn gets underway soon after.
But here's the funny part of the latest Twilight, Breaking Dawn news that happens on each Twilight film like clockwork:
Robert Pattinson has already signed on for Breaking Dawn but it appears that Kristen Stewart is only "rumoured" to be attached to the fourth Twilight Saga movie.
You have to wonder whether Breaking Dawn would ever slide into pre-production if there was a chance Stewart wouldn't sign on to Breaking Dawn. Step back and ask the question whether the Twilight Saga would have ever been started in the first place if any of the actors wouldn't be able to continue their journey through all four Twilight Saga movies.
