He says that they have every intention of doing Breaking Dawn, but things have been crazy with how quickly they have done New Moon and Eclipse considering Twilight was only out a year ago. They will begin planning on November “21th.” Yes, 21th, not 21st, lol!

I definitely didn’t want Catherine back. I know quite a few people, myself included that actually wish Chris would redo the first one and keep it closer to the book. I want my meadow scene!

Breaking Dawn is one of a kind and I believe that this isn’t going to be a quick fix movie this is going to take time for them to get it right I would much rather wait for it then to see it cheated this book is the end of a new. Begining their lives together through their marriage and bella’s inmortality the beginging of their daughters life and Jacobs new heart since his has been shattered through the past two books I cannot wait for it this is one of the most amazing books made and I so hope they capture these characters and give this them the book/movie the time and effort deserved.

I think that Breaking Dawn will convert into a movie nicely, aside from the Isle Esme chapters…I don’t want them to try to cut a lot out of the movie because then it won’t be…complete. I really can’t wait to see the wedding scene, Isle Esme, and Renesmee. I also think that they should make it into two movies because if they don’t, they will have to cut a bunch out to make it only 2-2.5 hours long. I simply cannot wait!!! :]

I think he really did say November 21th…oh well I’m so happy that they’re actually making Breaking Dawn into a movie! I just don’t want them to leave out a lot of the first part of it, and I’m not trying to sound gross, but I think that part is very important. Plus, I can’t wait to see the wedding! :]

I don’t know what they should do with BD, it’s potentially going to be a disaster if the script isn’t right. Summit’s probably negotiating contracts with Stephenie and the actors right now, how many movies everyone agrees to make and the filming schedule… And they’re probably trying to make Stephenie authorize some changes, I’d imagine it’s necessary to at least re-define the imprinting. I’m sure Chris would do a great job with BD if he’d take the project. I’m more worried about Melissa probably writing the script.

November Twenty-ONETH is funny But I don’t care how he says it..I would like to see how Eclipse goes before I would say I want Chris Weitz back…but, if there wasn’t going to be an Eclipse I would want Chris back 1000000000%. He understands the emotional journey too, not just the action, which is why I’m a little concerned with David Slade (I saw his 30 Days of Night). Plus, the whole cast seemed to love Chris Weitz as far as I can tell (esp. Kristen who said she wants him back for BD). So I loved that he kept the cast happy and he really understood ALL the aspects of the book with heartfelt compasion.
And I’m sure they will, but I hope they keep Melissa Rosenburg as screen writer, I think she does fabulous.
And I’m sorry, but I honestly don’t see where people are coming from that want Catherine Hardwicke to ruin another movie? ESPECIALLY after seeing New Moon. She’s a bit too artsy and weird for these movies; it doesn’t clash well. The handheld camera angles, Kristen Stewart in her underwear, and how Twilight was like, barely close to the book just begs for a cheap-like-Twilight looking BD film.

I agree. I didn’t even want to see Twilight. Never went until it was offered as a double feature with New Moon.

I agree, both with you and Julianne. I feel like a big part of the fan letdown with BD was mostly because everyone had built up such high expectations for it. Then, when things didn’t happen the way they expected, they were disappointed.

For me, I didn’t know what to expect, so I went in with an open mind. And I loved it! I think it will be tricky to make into a movie, but not impossible. And you’re right, it definitely helps to read it again. I think it makes it easier to understand why the series ended the way it did.

In all honesty, I loved the fact that all our favorite characters got a happy ending! I can appreciate sad endings too, but it was nice that Twilight was able to end in a good place, rather than the massacre that would have happened if the Volturi had gone through with their plan. Twilight is a wish-fulfillment kind of story, so it would have felt weird if everyone died at the end (which, as Stephenie said, is what would have happened).

Couldn’t agree with you more! I never understood why people are so uncomfortable with it either. I mean, Stephenie thoroughly explains what it’s like, and how imprinting can only be romantic when both parties are old enough for that kind of thing.

I guess it might be one of those things that’s kind of like a litmus test for the audience? As in if you’re looking something dirty or gross, you’ll find it, even if it’s not meant that way.

Oh well. I love their relationship, and I think it will be fun to see it in movie form! I bet Taylor will do a great job with it.
