When your movie makes over $481 million worldwide in the span of two weeks, the question isn’t whether or not to adapt the final book, but how many movies can you make from that final book? Summit Entertainment, who are at this moment building giant pools of gold coins like the one Scrooge McDuck has in his money vault, are currently figuring out whether or not they can put the pieces in play to turn Breaking Dawn, the final book in the Twilight series, into a two-part movie like what we’ll be seeing with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Variety’s sources say that Summit wants two pictures (can you refer to “common sense” as a source?), but that means clearing two hurdles. The first is whether or not they can afford to pay the higher salaries the lead actors will command for a fifth film. It’s not difficult to overcome this obstacle and Summit knows what they have to do: cut fat checks. Problem solved.
The more complicated issue is in bringing back New Moon director Chris Weitz. Because he brought the budget of New Moon in under $50 million and got along with the cast, he’s the top choice. However, as we reported last week, Weitz is planning to make his next film a smaller piece called The Gardener, which would also be made at Summit. That’s all well and good but gardeners don’t make money; vampires, werewolves, and one-dimensional characters do! Summit wants to have Weitz postpone The Gardener and so the questions for Weitz are A) would he be willing to spend more time away from his family to do an extended shoot; and B) do all of the toilets in his home need to be made from gold and encrusted with diamonds? As we all await the answer to that question, director David Slade pushed forward on the next Twilight film, Eclipse, which will hit theaters on June 20, 2010.

Congratulations.
This almost managed to be an objective, unbiased article on the situation until the author slipped in the “one-dimensional” line. I swear, news reporting for entertainment is becoming more about opinion pieces full of snark.

I hope so, because what I didn’t like at all in New Moon was that is too rushed, was like watching sketches. For BD I’d love to see something more flowing! Doesn’t matter if would be two movies or one of 4 hours, the only thing that matters is the greatness of the movie itself.

Two movies? If you take all the filler out of BD, you’re left with barely enough for a one-hour movie.

There are no explicit scences in the book and they should do it AS WRITTEN lest they ruin it! It is perfect as is! Make it two movies if you must but do not butcher it!!!
( You will have a LOT if pissed off Twilighters if you do, like she said, it has already been imagined. Make it rated “R” if need be, just dont mess up our movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is GREAT news! If there was ever to be a movie made from any of the books, this is the one I want to see! With crazy shit like a vampire pregnancy and C-section and wolf/vampire pedophilia, this. will. be. awesome! And this is on top of the crazy, “hurt me” sex Bella and Edward have. Come on, people. This is the Twilight movie we WANT to see (and yes, I'm a girl). The other two (maybe three, soon) pieces of crap may be redeemed by Breaking Dawn.

i`d love for the breaking dawn to come out into dvd, i havent read it yet but it would be great as all the other ones are out and watching the movie after reading the books are great
