It appears that Twihards won't have to wait long for the final installment of the juggernaut 'Twilight Saga,' at least not according to Robert Pattinson. Speaking at the recent press junket for 'New Moon,' the man behind Edward Cullen confirmed that filming for the adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's fourth book, 'Breaking Dawn,' is currently planned to commence in late 2010. Pattinson was quoted as saying, "I think the tentative time for 'Breaking Dawn' is fall next year. They may well change that," according to Collider.com.
Other cast-members remained tight-lipped on the subject of the fourth movie; when asked to comment on the rumors of 'Breaking Dawn' being split into two parts (in a similar vein to the upcoming 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' adaptation) Collider reports that Kristen Stewart was cut off by the moderator of the junket before she was able to answer.
With the impending release of 'New Moon' and filming now wrapped on 'Eclipse,' speculation regarding the final movie is sure to intensify, but the scheduling of 'Breaking Dawn' is likely to be dependent on the success of part two of the saga. 'New Moon' will need to prove that it can replicate the massive success of 'Twilight' to convince box office analysts of the bankability of the franchise. We have a feeling 'New Moon' will rise to the occasion.

How can they even doubt the bankability of the Twilight Saga. I would love to own stock in this saga. I would get rich.

If they didn't continue with the saga they would have a lot of angry teenage girls out there. I don't think that they will have to worry about the money part as much, that is if the movie is true to the book.

I cant beleive anyone would be doubting finishing the last movie or even to split it in parts i plan on purchasing several copies of the dvds in my family we already have like 10 copies of Twilight. Cant wait to get New Moon( just saw it in theatres last night stood in line for two hours to see it) I will be seeing Eclipse when it comes to theatres and I hope that Breaking Dawn comes to theatres so we can all see it too. I wish Stephanie Meyer would write more books they are fantastic.

I definitely want them to do Breaking Dawn, but I am seriously worried that they just won't get it right. Breaking Dawn won't be good unless they get it perfect. If I were Stephenie Meyer, I would make sure that they don't compromise in anything while making it...(I hear she has a lot of influence on what gets put in the movie and what doesn't) and since they have made so much money on the previous movies they shouldn't spare any expense.
And yes...it should be two movies. Or over three hours long. None of this 2 hours crap...please?

Personally, Breaking Dawn was my favorite of the Saga. I Hope its not a two part movie, but as long as they make the movie I will be more than satisfied!

Do they seriously have to wait to see how well New Moon Does?
They cant alrady tell from fandago sells?
or how about the fact that they have people waiting for hours just to SEE some of the actors of Twilight?
I don't know why these people at summit are being so stupid!
I don't see why they just finish making the crappy movies (just to get this murder good and done with
!)
so that the true Twilight fans
can get back to whats important the books.
