With the DVD and Blu-ray release of The Twilight Saga: New Moon just a few short weeks away (at 12:01 AM on March 20th to be exact), its director, Chris Weitz, has been making the interview rounds, and today came word that as far the Breaking Dawn installment is concerned, he thinks someone else should probably take the job.
In a chat with MTV, Weitz also commented on both the possibility of Breaking Dawn being in 3D and whether it should be one film or two.
“I think that 3D is great so long as it’s not used in a gimmicky fashion, and it can supply extraordinary depth to the visual experience,” Weitz told MTV News. He further stated, “I think that it makes sense for it to be split into two parts because it’s quite a dense book with a lot going on.”
Now back to whether or not he’s the best man for the job should Summit offer it to him. “I think I’m on record saying I have a two-and-a-half-year-old son, and each one of these movies — especially because it’d be such a long shoot as ‘Breaking Dawn’ — it kind of brings me to the edge of my physical and mental endurance. And I just don’t believe I have it in me.”
He did hedge his bets a little with an “of course I’m interested” just in case, but it looks like the fans clamoring for his return for the conclusion of the series had best start looking elsewhere.














As Summit Entertainment continues to decide whether to turn Breaking Dawn, the fourth and final book in the Twilight saga, into two films, there is another question on the table as well: To 3D or not to 3D? But instead of just sitting back and waiting for a decision, we decided a PopWatch poll was in order to let execs (and Stephenie Meyer) know how YOU feel about a 3D treatment for the final films. Before we take it to a vote, let’s look at the pros and cons. SPOILER ALERT!
TWILIGHT producers have denied that a decision has been made to split the fourth movie.
It’s been one of the biggest questions surrounding Summit Entertainment’s uber-successful “Twilight” franchise (apart, of course, from whether stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson really are a couple off-screen) — just how the producers are going to manage to pull off a big-screen adaptation of “Breaking Dawn.” The fourth book in Stephenie Meyer’s juggernaut of a young adult fiction series about the epic love affair between high school student Bella Swan and her good-guy vampire beau Edward Cullen has plenty of heft, clocking in at upward of 750 pages, but it also has the distinction of being the most controversial entry in the saga.
Independent film studio Summit Entertainment has got quite a gem on their hands, and its name is the “Twilight” series.
Twilight screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg will definitely be finishing what she started when it comes to adapting the fourth and final book of the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn. Deep Twi tells us that, although it won’t officially be confirmed for a while, Melissa is tapped to finish out the films.
BooBoo Stewart who will play Seth Clearwater has reported that he has signed on for 3 films in the Twilight series, and has heard that three more movies will be made after New Moon. This means that either another story will be made into a movie, or they could take the Harry Potter route and break the final book into two films. Considering the length of Breaking Dawn, I don’t think many Twilight fans would object to another installment to flesh out those important parts of the story!
Breaking Dawn will be made into a movie!
