Rumor: Breaking Dawn producers visit Rio for potential filming locations

August 29, 2010 Posted by Lindsay in Breaking Dawn,Stephenie Meyer,Summit Entertainment,Wyck Godfrey

It is being reported (though not confirmed) that producers for Breaking Dawn have been in Rio de Janiero, Brazil, scoping out the area for potential filming.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn â€œproducersâ€ are in Rio, according to RioFilmeâ€™s director/president SÃ©rgio SÃ¡ LeitÃ£o. Answering a query from a fellow twitterer about whether the Breaking Dawn producers had given up on Rio, LeitÃ£o tweeted that â€œtheyâ€™re in Rio. I canâ€™t give out any details. The decision will be made soon.â€ In a follow-up tweet, he added: â€œBreaking Dawn in Rio = Investments of US$1.5m in the city + creation of many jobs + great publicity for Rio + 1 gift to the fans.â€

The three official Breaking Dawn producers are Wyck Godfrey, Karen Rosenfelt, and Twilight Saga author Stephenie Meyer. Whether any of those are in Rio, or if LeitÃ£o was referring to Summit Entertainment executives is unclear.

They should totaly film in Rio if possble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! of some other island puerto rico or sum thing

Alyssa Curtis

they definately should film there. i mean, if they filmed in Italy, why shouldnt they film in Rio? haha
i think that they need to look for the MOST beautiful island, to capture the essence of isle esme!

I think they should if it's possible because they went to Italy for the Volturi stuff and saving Edward. They should go to Rio or atleast somewhere in Brazil because that's where Ile Esme is at in the book.

Exactly! Rio is referred in the book, so it has to be in the movie too! Or at least, any other similar city in Brazil. I don't think it would be a good idea to be in another country... And definitely, it won't be a good idea at all if they don't include the scenes from Rio! Edward talking to the taxi driver portuguese, Edward and Bella at the port...
