Just in from Jen Yamato and FearNet:
“Rumors had been swirling about the last chapter in the Twilight Saga film franchise: would Breaking Dawn get greenlit or not? While everyone from Twilight producer Wyck Godfrey to star Kristen Stewart managed to stay tight-lipped about the unconfirmed sequel at today’s New Moon press conference in Beverly Hills, our hopeful hearts got a piece of very big news about the film from none other than Robert Pattinson.
Answering the last question of the day, Rob shared his shooting schedule for 2010 – including, at least for now, filming the novel adaptation Bel Ami, the western Unbound Captives, and yes, Breaking Dawn.
“I think the tentative time for Breaking Dawn is fall of next year,” Pattinson said, adding that Summit “may well change that.”
“Depending on how things go I’m doing a movie called Bel Ami in February, which is an adaptation of a Guy de Maupassant novel,” he continued. “And I’m doing, I hope, a Western with Rachel Weisz and Hugh Jackman called Unbound Captives sometime around there as well.”
Here is Collider’s Spin on the same situation. Thanks Steve for getting that question in!:
“But when I had the opportunity to ask Robert Pattinson the last question at today’s press junket, I made the most of it. I asked him if he has been told of a tentative time he might film “BreakingDawn”? He replied:
“I think the tentative time for “Breaking Dawn” is fall next year. They may well change that.”
What you need to realize is many things change. Perhaps “New Moon” doesn’t do as well at the box office as the first “Twilight” movie. Or perhaps they can’t get the script right. While things might change, Pattinson’s statement of fall 2010 is the first time anyone in the cast has admitted there is a plan. Much more on “Twilight: New Moon” later tonight.
There remains no official confirmation from any official source; however, Rob’s “slip” certainly indicates that they are working on it and that things aren’t quite firmly settled yet.
