Breaking Dawn Rumours Cleared Up

Published on August 20, 2010 in Breaking Dawn, Eclipse, Movie and News by Felicity. 0 Comments Tags: , , .

There have been a lot of rumours circulating the net about Breaking Dawn and the Eclipse DVD, so His Golden Eyes has clarified some of the rumours for us :)

summitlogo Breaking Dawn Rumours Cleared Up

  • There is only one casting director working on THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN films right now – Deborah Zane. As of right now no local auditions are being held. If Deborah’s name is not attached to it in some form or another, it is not legitimate. She is also not putting out nationwide casting notices. Once again – as was the case with NEW MOON and ECLIPSE – any ads you see are completely false. She has set up an e-mail address specifically for casting inquiries (BreakingDawnCast@gmail.com). We ask you please spread this news to your readers, as we don’t want them getting taken advantage of by casting scams!
  • Also not confirmed is anything you have heard about the US release date of the ECLIPSE DVD. We have not announced it yet, so unless it is international and confirmed by an international distributor, it is a rumor
  • Lexicon touched base regarding a rumor about Renesmee’s name changing in BREAKING DAWN. I cleared it up with them, but let me tell you as well – it is FALSE.
  • Amanda (Twi Examiner) asked about Riley’s appearance in BREAKING DAWN because it was listed on Xavier’s IMDb page. I already told her, but in case you did not see her post, Riley will not appear in the BREAKING DAWN films. It is a rumor

Salary Dispute Holding Up Breaking Dawn?

Published on May 11, 2010 in Actors, Breaking Dawn, Cast, Gossip, Movie and News by Felicity. 1 Comment Tags: , , , , , , , , , , .

I don’t normally publish rumours and hearsay but I’m a little concerned about this article & the truth to it, and it might not be a rumour, seeing as they are taking so long to announce the details for the filming of Breaking Dawn.  However, I will say this that some of it does sound correct but I am not saying that the full article is correct.  The source, The Hollywood Reporter, is usually very reliable with its information.  So, here is the article as published by The Hollywood Reporter -

27863616 27863617 medium1 Salary Dispute Holding Up Breaking Dawn?EXCLUSIVE: Summit Entertainment is working furiously to close the talent deals required to split Stephenie Meyer‘s fourth “Twilight” novel into two films. But an unlikely roadblock is holding up an announcement — and could even lead to cast changes for the series’ final installment.

The studio is close to finalizing agreements with leads Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, all of whom will get big raises to return for a fifth installment of the vampire romance saga. And director Bill Condon is already signed to film two “Breaking Dawn” movies, which would be shot back-to-back starting in the fall and released in November 2011 and summer 2012, respectively.

But Summit is having a harder time locking in some of the franchise’s secondary characters. Deals for Peter Facinelli (who plays Carlisle Cullen) and Billy Burke (Bella’s father, Charlie Swan) are done, but we’re told the actors who play the Cullen kids (especially Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene) are trying to sink their teeth into bigger paydays that, at least at this point, the studio behind the billion-dollar franchise is unwilling to provide. “We may have a situation where one of them is thrown out on the street to make a point,” says a source close to the dealmaking.

So are we headed for a recasting on the final “Twilight”?

There is precedent for such a tactic. After the success of the first film, Summit axed Rachelle Lefevre, who played Victoria, in part because her reps played hardball on money. (Bryce Dallas Howard got the job instead.) Now, two films into the series, even the minor Twilighters (Lutz in particular) have become sought-after stars, so it makes sense they’d want to be paid more for the final film. But we’re told that the offers from Summit — which are said to be at least 10 times what the actors made on the first movie — were deemed “offensive” given the mega-money the franchise has generated.

Bill Condon To Direct Breaking Dawn

Published on April 29, 2010 in Breaking Dawn, Movie and News by Felicity. 1 Comment Tags: , , .

It’s official – Summit Entertainment has confirmed that Bill Condon will direct the next & final installment of the Twilight Saga – Breaking Dawn.

Bill Condon2 254x3001 Bill Condon To Direct Breaking DawnSummit Entertainment has confirmed that Academy Award® winner Bill Condon will direct THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN, based on the fourth novel in author Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series. THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN, is currently being written by Melissa Rosenberg, and will star Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. Wyck Godfrey, Karen Rosenfelt, and Stephenie Meyer will produce the project.

“Bringing Stephenie Meyer’s BREAKING DAWN to the screen requires a graceful and intelligent hand and we believe Bill Condon is exactly the right steward, having shown equal and abundant talents of immense creativity and subtle sensitivity,” said Erik Feig, President of Production and Acquisitions, for Summit Entertainment.

Added author Stephenie Meyer, “I’m so thrilled that Bill wants to work with us. I think he’s going to be a great fit, and I’m excited to see what he does with the material.”

“I’m very excited to get the chance to bring the climax of this saga to life on-screen. As fans of the series know, this is a one-of-a-kind book – and we’re hoping to create an equally unique cinematic experience,” said Bill Condon.

Condon is best known for directing and adapting the box office and critical hit “Dreamgirls” which was nominated for eight Academy Awards and won two including Best Supporting Actress for star Jennifer Hudson.  The film also won the Golden Globe for Best Picture – Musical or Comedy and grossed $103 million at the U.S. box office.  The filmmaker won his own Oscar in 1998 for Best Adapted Screenplay for “Gods and Monsters.” He was subsequently nominated again in the same category for “Chicago.”  Condon also received a prestigious Director’s Guild of America Best Director nod for “Dreamgirls.”  More impressive, besides Hudson’s breakthrough, he’s shepherded Oscar nominations for Ian McKellen (“Gods and Monsters”), Lynn Redgrave (“Gods and Monsters”) and Laura Linney (“Kinsey”).  And for those concerned about Condon’s genre credentials, he’s more than happy to discuss directing 1995′s “Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh” to anyone who will ask.  Most recently, Condon teamed up with producer Larry Mark to produce the 81st Academy Awards with host Hugh Jackman.  That show received strong critical notices and was nominated for more Emmy Awards than any Oscar broadcast in history.

Catherine Hardwicke directed the first “Twilight” which was a surprise blockbuster grossing $384 million worldwide.  The follow up, last fall’s “New Moon” was shepherded by fan favorite Chris Weitz and made an eye-popping $707 million worldwide.  The third chapter, “Eclipse,” will hit theaters on June 30 under David Slade’s direction.

Production is expected to begin early this fall.
