Is ‘Breaking Dawn’ to be 2 Films…Not So Fast!!
Earlier today DeadlineHollywood.com announced that Summit Entertainment is officially making ‘Breaking Dawn’ (the 4th and largest novel in the series) into 2 films. With filming starting in October and both films being shot back to back.
Only problem with this…Its not Official!!
Per GossipCop.com
The official word given to Gossip Cop from a rep for Summit is, “No decision has been made and as we have said all along we are continuing to work with Stephenie Meyer to bring Breaking Dawn to the big screen.”
HOWEVER, a well-placed source tells Gossip Cop dividing Breaking Dawn into two pictures “is the direction that it’s going in.” We’re told that from a practical standpoint, separating the story into two parts and shooting back-to-back is what makes most sense.
Earlier reports seem to be fairly accurate when it comes to timing, specifically, that filming may begin in October.
Hopefully this means we will be getting some kind of official statement soon from Summit!!
