Film Casting Site - “Breaking Dawn: Part II” Will Be Filmed in 3D

Note: Vancouver Breaking Dawn production office now open, details below.




Casting: They are currently seeking a male and female who are in their 20’s and can speak fluent French. Submit to Debra Zane for these roles. The much anticipated casting and auditions process for “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn” is now taking place in Los Angeles, Baton Rouge, and Vancouver. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn illuminates the secrets and mysteries of this spellbinding romantic epic that has entranced millions.



The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn will be released as two separate movies, Breaking Dawn Part I has a release date of November 18, 2011, and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 has been set for November 16th, 2012. Director Bill Condon will shoot the two films back to back. Actor’s prep starts October 2010 in Baton Rouge – rehearsal, hair and make-up tests, etc. Shooting on Breaking Dawn Part I and Part II will run from November 1, 2010 through late March, 2011. The Louisiana filming will run from November 1st through the end of January, 2011. Production then will move to Vancouver and film from Vancouver shooting will take place from February 1, 2011 through the end of March, 2011. Summit Entertainment has stated that there could be “minor schedule tweaks” due to the large size of the cast, and the extended length of shooting.



Breaking Dawn II will be released in 3-D, however no decision has been announced about Part I. A 3-D film can be created in two ways. One is to process the film in post-production editing using CGI for 3-D effects. The other method is to shoot the film with special 3D cameras, such as the film Avatar was done using Sony HDC-F950 3-D cameras. It is not known which method Condon will use, but it is highly likely he will shoot using the special 3-D cameras since the effects are far superior.



Shooting will take place in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Vancouver, British Columbia. There is a very large amount of filming that takes place in Louisiana due to the large tax credits that the state offers the studios. Louisiana offers a 30% transferable incentive for total in-state expenditures related to the production of a motion picture. The budget on both parts of Breaking Dawn will be substantially greater than the previous installments in the series, therefore Summit Entertainment will benefit greatly by filming in Louisiana. Vancouver shooting will likely consist of locations required for a number of Breaking Dawn settings.



The film’s extras will be hired near the shooting locations throughout filming. Casting Director information subject to change. Please check back for any updates. A very large number of people ignore the instructions given, and email casting directors, call their casting offices, and walk in off the street for unannounced personal drop offs.



Please carefully follow the submission guidelines. I will also be posting any open casting calls when and if they are scheduled by the casting directors, this includes online video audition uploads such as the one at ActorCast hosted for two roles in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.
