Breaking Dawn confirmed? How many films will there be?

breakingdwn2

There are rumors a-plenty on the internet this morning, about Breaking Dawn, about Rob, about Robsten. Let’s talk about each one individually. First up: Breaking Dawn!

E! Online reports that one of their “inside sources” confirmed that screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg is signed on to write the Breaking Dawn script. However, the article reiterates that we don’t have any other details about the fourth installment in the franchise, including whether it would be done in one or two films. But they do hint that they might be leaning toward multiple films. Click through to see what they had to say.

Twilight screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg will definitely be finishing what she started when it comes to adapting the fourth and final book of the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn. Deep Twi tells us that, although it won’t officially be confirmed for a while, Melissa is tapped to finish out the films.

Marc Malkin chatted with Melissa last week, and while she was playing very coy about BD plans (as well as Robsten), using the whole “everything is still up in the air” line, our well-placed source dishes that it’s a done deal.

Uh, well, want to know why that is? We’ve heard a bit of incredibly juicy info…

Execs over at Summit are going back to the idea of splitting BD into two films.

Remember, last time we checked in with Deep Twi it was looking like Dawn would only be one movie, but recently everyone internally has been referring to it as “the Breaking Dawn films.” That’s right, you didn’t imagine the plural ending there.

Still, nothing has been decided yet. Most likely what’s happening is Rob ‘n’ crew agreed to a fourth…not fifth. Once the cast determines if they are up for five, then Melissa can plan accordingly about how to pen out this fourth flick.

See the whole article here.

Hollywood Crush puts in their two cents, saying making two films, from a story standpoint, is a bad idea.

While there is certainly enough content in “Breaking Dawn” to drag it out over two movies, I don’t think it should be done. There are going to be spoilers for a little while I continue my rant, so if you haven’t read “Breaking Dawn” yet, go out and remedy that and then come back and finish reading this post. The first “Breaking Dawn” film would be what? Bella and Edward getting married, going on a honeymoon and getting preggers? And then us having to sit around and watch as she gradually kills herself for a baby? Sorry guys, but I don’t want to spend two hours on that. And sure, the second film will be cool to see Bella run around as a vamp for maybe 30 minutes, tops, but the rest of that book is just an anti-climactic battle-less sequence!

My thoughts: Prior rumors that Breaking Dawn may be made as three films is unlikely. There just isn’t enough story to carry three films. That is just MY opinion. I am back and forth on whether there should be multiple movies. While on one hand, I want as MUCH as possible. On the other hand, I kind of agree with Hollywood Crush about the material not being enough for multiple films. Mainly, I am just really excited that Breaking Dawn will make it to screen.

What do you guys think? Sound off in the comments.

  • Tambelina_2004

    I do not want all the movies being incomplete

  • Taviathegreat01

    ummm.... ok?

  • helena

    I am a big fan of the Twilight Saga Books, but not that huge fan of the movies.
    Yes, the second movie is quite better then the first movie and I did like the Volturi and Werewolf’s.
    Depending of the way the battle of the third movie is done, we can foresee the way the battle can come out in the fourth movie.

    Unfortunately, I really can’t see myself watching the Breaking Dawn drama for 3 hours in a movie. The story is great, but the actors are not that good !

    So unless they focus a lot in the battles and maybe in the rest of the story, I really hope, they don’t do a 3 hour movie.

    And by the way, I am one of those people that have the Lord of the Rings extended movies and can watch then, one after the other.
    Those are really excellent movies in ALL aspects.
    The some just doesn’t apply to the Twilight movies. Good stories … but very far to be great or even excellent.

  • Taviathegreat01

    are you crazy???????!!!!! the movies are the big deALS around here your crazy or maybe i just dont like reading and u do!!!

  • Taviathegreat01

    i cant believe your not a fan of twilight!!

  • croatiangirl

    THEY HAVE TO MAKE BREAKING DAWN IN TWO OR MORE MOVIES THEY JUST TOO I WILL DIE IF THEY DONT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  • sofieh

    then again, i wouldn't mind sitting for 5 hours watching it...

  • Taviathegreat01

    YOUR VERY TRUE ON THAT ONE I AGREE!

  • Kaitlin

    I would not like there to be one movie split up into two. that won't be good for profits. i don't want to see a movie then have to wait another year just for the second half of that movie comes out and i forget where it's left off. also, i wish they could somehow make another movie with stephenie, i know this sounds crazy, but i would really like to audition if not portray the older Renesmee. Yes, i am working on my acting :]]]

  • what are they going to do for the jacob part..?

  • Echelonvampire

    I think if it was to be two movies, they would make book one and book 2 one movie. And end the first one when bella becomes a vampire, and then the 5th film is the rest of book 3.

  • goteamtaylor

    I want as much detail they can give us. Stick as close to the book as possible. If that means they have to make 2 movies, I'm down with that. It's worth waiting for. I would be really disappointed if they didn't keep Jacob's point of view. I like that you can visualize more of how the pack minds work and you see exactly how Jacob feels towards Bella. It adds more to the story I think and it was a really good idea for the book.
    But on the other hand, I think the 2nd movie would be really slow. If you start it from when Bella becomes a vampire or right when Jacob sees Renesmee, there isn't a whole lot going on compared to all the details and action that happens in the 1st part.
    Oh well, I'll like whatever they come up with. As long as they make the movie(s) I'll be happy.

  • Jax22

    I wouldn't mind seeing 2 films but would also be happy with one 3hr movie. I just hope that whatever they do they keep the most important moments from the book and don't add in unneccesary scenes that weren't in the book - that always makes me angry. Maybe they could do extra scenes of the less important moments and put them in the DVD or have like a montage of the less important scenes. I think that with Renesmee they'll probably jump from when she's a baby to when she's a small child.

  • I think not enough of breaking dawn would be shown in 1 movie but if there is 2 it will be dragged out and become boring.
    if it could go
    movie 1- bella book 1 and Jacob
    movie 2 bella book 2
    OR
    movie 1 bella book 1
    movie 2jacob and bella book
    unless the movie only go fir 90mins each which would be all right I dunno

    As MUCH as I would LOVE multiple Twilight Saga movies, we have to be realistic: there's only SO much you can do with BD! Like many have said, when you cut out all the "mental" details and descriptions of how they're feeling, and see how much "action" there is (whether it's actual dialogue or action sequences) ... exactly WHERE would be the breaking point and HOW would it "pick up" again?? It's not like there's 3 UNRELATED stories ... they're all tied in, with the difference only being the POV.

    I agree with a longer (2 1/2 - 3hr??) final movie ... go out with blazing guns of glory hehe :)

    What do YOU think?? Agree?? Disagree?? Just want me to shut up?? lol.

    PS - it's SO funny how we haven't even seen New Moon yet and we're discussing Eclipse/shootings/pics and potential BD .... it's getting harder to keep all the book details in order, isn't it??!?! HAHAHA

  • I agree! Minus all the underlying mental details and when the film merges the point-of-views, there really isn't so much to work with that would require two films. As you said, and many others, one long film would probably be the best. I wouldn't want to have the book split, either. :)

  • Team_Edward_For_Life

    Well it could be like this.The first movie would end when she opens her eyes to her new vamp life and then the second would continue!!WHOS WITH ME??cuz i cant live without a breaking dawn

  • aimsieee

    i reckon they'd stop the first movie either right when jacob's going down the stairs: bellas heart has stopped, jake has JUST spotted nessie and is about to try to kill her, and edward is still furiously pumping away trying to bring bella back, with flashes between each of these scenes and black in between and no background sound XD

    OR moments after jake has imprinted on nessie and bellas heart begins to beat

    i reckon that would cause the most suspense and be the perfect place to stop :P

  • Team_Edward_For_Life

    u have a better idea!seriously i sat staring at ur comment and like when u said edward pumping her heart i imagined it with the black in between!!!OMG UR RIGHT!!!I LOVE THAT 1!!!!!

  • Michelle Piñero

    In my opinion it should be just 1 movie they are so many things that they can leave left out that are not that important. It could me make into 3hrs and I wouldn't mind sitting for 3 hrs is my fav book =-)

  • I think it should be two films but no more. However, like hannahjane said, the actors will have grown up and aged a bit more by the time they finish the series so I dont know if they could pull it off

  • hannahjane

    they HAVE to make it into a film :( thats like missing out a harry potter or lord of the rings film lol (not that i lyk either...)

    if it were made into 2 movies then the 2nd part wouldnt be out till at least 2011! and the characters would look waaay to old for their parts..

  • iloverobert

    They really cant make it into 2 movies, because the vampires cant get older and if it takes 4 more years or whatever.... thats really not gonna work.
    Plus I CANNOT wait that long to see Kristen as a vampireeeee :))))
