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.

Daniel Radcliffe became world famous overnight when he was cast in the lead of the movie versions of J.K. Rowling's monstrously popular 'Harry Potter' novels -- he was just 11.
