Plus, it's really smart of them to grab the 4th of July 2010 weekend this early. There's no way they were going to chance going up against HP and the Deathly Hallows come November and this way they'll have all those kids out of school all summer to go and see it over and over and over again. That seems REALLY fast though! When are they going to shoot Eclipse? They must be planning on shooting it this summer, which might as well be filming "back to back", IMO. This fall they'll be too busy with New Moon promotion, and by next year, it'd be too late to have the film ready by June. It's so funny how Summit clearly expects the tweens to wake up any moment now and go, "Hey, these books are crap!" They're busting their asses to get all the movies out before that happens. I wonder if they're working on RPattz and KStew about Breaking Dawn yet? Most of the fanbase seems to just take it for granted that BD will be made, but I'm not so sure.

Supposedly they're taking a 10-week break between filming, so they'll be done with "Eclipse" before "New Moon" comes out. Which I'm in favor of, because it gets RP and KS away from the franchise all the sooner (I do not think they'll do "Breaking Dawn." That's my story and I'm sticking to it!).

I hope they don't do Breaking Dawn. That book is INSANE. If my daughter were a teenager, I could see letting her read the first three books. Whatever, they're not bad. But Breaking Dawn was like a horror movie that wasn't even so-bad-it's-good. It was just outright bad.
Doesn't bode well that each movie is going to have a different director.

I just don't think I've ever seen such a rush job done on films that are expected to be hugely successful. Isn't it strange? What other franchise has to scramble for a director weeks before shooting starts? These films are blockbusters technically, but they're made like they're direct to DVD.
I will seriously be shocked if Pattinson or Stewart sign up for BD. The fans can claim they'll do it for money or to keep the fangirls from wanting to lynch them, doesn't matter. First, it's Summit, and if there's one thing they've proven it's that they're cheap as hell, so I doubt any huge offers will be going out. Second, neither actor has been the least bit shy about pissing off the fanbase already. And pissing off the fans wouldn't even be that bad of an idea because I think both of them would rather retreat into semi-obscurity where they can do indies and be left alone.

I think the best way to get RPattz to commit to Breaking Dawn is to just hand over the reins to a crazy visionary - the book sounds f'ed up enough that I could see Cronenberg or Del Toro doing an awesome job. This. Can you imagine the fangirl heads exploding at the birth scene?

I think they might have to change actors if they film Breaking Dawn as both RP and KS will certainly have aged by the time they get around to filming it (unless they age well). KS's character could get away with it more so than RP, but Edward is not supposed to age at all being eternally 17 and all that. . I can imagine parts of BD as a real horror movie too, though the book was just amazing. Trying to show it on screen though would be tough.

I hate recasts. I think Kristen Stewart is quite a bad actor, but they should just keep her if Breaking Dawn is ever made. I'm kind of surprised that Summit is planning to release the remaining movies so close together. I expected them to milk this wretched franchise for as long as possible. Maybe they've already got their eye on SMeyer's next series about sparkling, walking, flesh-eating mermaids. More gold from RPattz: Source.

Summit must be trying to get all the money they can before the fanbase gets bored and moves on to the next big craze.
