Famous Mag Makes Bogus ‘Breaking Dawn’ Delay Claim

We’re sure Famous magazine is good at some things.

Careful reporting about The Twilight Saga and its stars just isn’t near the top of the list.

The cast and crew on Breaking Dawn have been “left reeling,” declares the tabloid.

There is “confusion & anger” as “filming on Breaking Dawn is cancelled,” according to the mag’s cover.

Inside, the story explains that production “has been postponed for almost a month,” and insiders are supposedly “warning of further delays.” “It was expected that filming would begin in early October but it keeps being pushed back,” claims a “source.” “For what seems like a million reasons, we’re struggling to begin work again.”



What we love most about this piece is that there are supposedly “a million reasons” production is allegedly postponed — and Famous can’t name one.


There are vague references to the actors’ “busy work schedules” and “losing interest” in the material… and that’s about it.

Should we believe Famous?

The same outlet that claimed Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner were embroiled in a major feud? And that Lautner and Kristen Stewart were “caught” in a secret affair? And that Stewart was despised by everyone on the Eclipse set? And that Pattinson confirmed to the U.S. media a breakup with Stewart?
Pardon our skepticism.

Gossip Cop spoke with a source close to the production, who calls the Famous story “not true in the slightest.”


“There are no delays,” we’re assured. “The actors arrive on set in October for rehearsal, hair and make-up tests, etc.” Shooting begins in November, and “this has always been the plan.”

“There may be some confusion because actors have said in interviews that they start in October,” explains our insider. “Prep for the actors starts in October, [but] production has always been scheduled for November.”


Sounds like the only ones angry, confused and “left reeling” are at Famous magazine

Analysis: Why 'Breaking Dawn' is sticking to a Nov release date.

It appears the summer release experiment for "The Twilight Saga" was not as successful as Summit Entertainment had hoped. The studio announced today that "Breaking Dawn, Pt. 2" will be released on Nov. 16, 2012. That's a full year after the debut of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Pt. 1" on Nov. 18, 2011.


After releasing both "Twilight" and "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" in November of 2008 and 2009, Summit made the seemingly smart move of moving "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" to a June 30, 2010 release date. This was because of both fervent interest from the franchise's fanbase and the expectation that opening in the summer would allow for a larger gross due to the fact many teenagers would be out of school and able to see the film numerous times during the work week. Instead, "Eclipse" has grossed less than the previous chapter, "New Moon," with only $288.1 million domestic and a total of $644.8 million worldwide so far. "New Moon" ended up with $296 million domestic and $709 million worldwide and it's hard to see "Eclipse" matching that total as its grosses have slowed considerably. Considering "Eclipse" received universally better reviews than the previous two chapters and was the most action packed (i.e., male friendly) of the series this has to be something of a disappointment for Summit. Granted, there is no need to shed any tears as the studio and series creator Stephenie Meyer are still swimming in profits as the picture only cost $65 million.



In hindsight, however, the shouldn't have come as that much of a shock even if it seems to go against conventional wisdom. The "Harry Potter" series has also released a number of chapters during the summer months and found mixed results. After the first two installments debuted in Nov. of 2001 and 2002 respectively, 2004's "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" debuted in June and is actually the worst performing picture in the franchise with just $249.4 million. "The Order of the Phoenix" and "The Half-Blood Prince" have performed much better with their July releases, but some of that can be credited to increased ticket prices as well as IMAX ticket costs. It's somewhat telling "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Pt. 1" will open in Nov. of this year.



As for "Breaking Dawn," production is expected to begin this Nov. with shooting split between Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Vancouver, British Colubmia. Oscar winner Bill Condon is at the helm and the entire cast will return including the trifecta of Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner.

USA Today gives insight on Louisiana’s appeal as filming location for Breaking Dawn

“Breaking Dawn” isn’t the only movie heading to Louisiana to shoot in the near future. According to a USA Today article, the state of Louisiana has become the new hotspot for filming, due to its versatility, local production personnel, tax incentives and more.

The consummate versatile character actor, Louisiana has also played Utah, Washington, D.C., and London. “The film industry wants to find places it can reinvent and make look like anything it needs,” Lussier says. “There’s a lot of opportunity do that in Louisiana.”


What do you think? If they can make Louisiana look like London, can Summit pull off recreating Forks or Brazil?

Stephenie Meyer Takes 'Breaking Dawn' Rated R Debate into Her Own Hands

Stephenie Meyer is stepping forward in the midst of the Breaking Dawn should-it-or-should-it-not be rated R debate. And guess what she's saying? She'll be there every day to make sure the movie accurately reflects her vision as the movie's latest producer.

"It's really a lot about being...in the room," the Twilight author confides. "And it's going to be a lot of upheaval in my life, but I felt like it was important. And then also, it's the last one. So I kinda feel like, I'm going to commit to this for this year, I'll get it done, and then I won't do that again."

The suits at Summit still claim they can do the book justice without creating an R-rated movie. Producer Wyck Godfrey reveals, "I'm unwavering in my belief that these will be PG-13 movies. And really, I say that not because I know what we're shooting but because I feel that they should be. I feel like the audience of the books and the movies, many of them are under 18...I can't make an R-rated conclusion to the franchise."

Not to mention that Stephenie's Mormon faith counsels against watching R-rated movies. So she'll probably want to keep it PG-13 anyway.


The Team Edward vs. Team Jacob battle may continue on, but it's looking like Team PG-13 has it in the bag.

Robert , Kristen and Taylors paycheck !

It’s going to be a nice payday for ‘Twilight’ stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner when the series comes to an end.

The three will allegedly be paid $25 million each for starring in the final two movies of the franchise, reports The Bosh. The contracts were re-negotiated this year after Summit Entertainment decided to break the final book, Breaking Dawn, into two movies.
The stars were also offered a share of the gross profits which could leave them making $41 million in the end.

EXCLUSIVE! ‘Breaking Dawn’ WILL Be Erotic – Expect To See LOTS Of ‘Skin-On-Skin’ For Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart!

Prepare yourself for some seriously hot scenes in Breaking Dawn, Twi-hards – Twilight screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg says the movie will be WAY racier than the book – and also reveals how parts one and two might be split!


When we heard that Breaking Dawn was being given a PG-13 rating, we definitely booed in disappointment. That book is hot – and the sex scenes need to be shown, dammit! We at HollywoodLife.com have good news for you – despite the lack of an R-rating, the fourth and fifth films are DEFINITELY going to be steamy!

“I don’t think we’ll be toning a whole lot [of the racy scenes] down,” Twilight screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg told HollywoodLife.com exclusively during a one-on-one interview before her Writer’s Guild Foundation event in LA July 13. “We want the eroticism of the sex scenes.”

Sweet! We can’t wait to see real-life lovebirds Robert Pattinson and Kirsten Stewart are going to steam up the screen! However, Melissa does say, “That doesn’t mean that one has to see it all, but you do want that [eroticism]. With the birth scene as well, I just don’t know that you have to tone it down. If you really look at the books, how much are you really seeing? I think [the movies] might wind up being saucier than the book because you’re actually seeing skin-on-skin and the horror of the birth scenes. We’re not shying away from it.”

As for how she plans on actually splitting up the epic last Twilight Saga novel into two films, Melissa has a good idea – but nothing is concrete QUITE yet. “We’re still debating the exact moment, but it’ll fall down to the first half of Bella as a human and being pregnant and a newlywed and the second half being Bella as a vampire and a parent. Somewhere in the middle of that, the break will come.”

‘Breaking Dawn’ screenwriter wants to show Bella giving birth!

It’s a question that’s hovered over the “Twilight” franchise for months: How will the filmmakers handle Bella’s notoriously graphic childbirth scene in the movie version of “Breaking Dawn?”
Now, screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg has weighed in — and she’s all for showing it on screen, though perhaps without some of the gorier details.
“The childbirth — all the scenes, I feel — should be on screen,” Rosenberg tells PopSugar. “Would we actually see Edward’s teeth through the placenta? I don’t think so. I don’t think we need to see that.”

She adds with a laugh: “If someone needs to see that, I think they should take a look at that.”
In the novel, the birth is so difficult that Bella nearly dies, and one book reviewer complained that the scene was so graphic, it “may promote lifelong abstinence in sensitive types.”

As the “Breaking Dawn” film production has been getting closer, Kristen Stewart, in particular, has been curious about that scene. “I haven’t seen a script,” she told MTV News in January, “but I’m not alone in really, really wondering how they’re going to handle that.”
Rosenberg, who also wrote the first three films in the series, said last month that she was “deep in the middle” of the script for the two-part “Breaking Dawn” movie, the first installment of which is due in theaters in November 2011. In the PopSugar interview, Rosenberg says it’s been great fun writing the character Bella, in particular, as she evolves.


“I think seeing Bella as a vampire and her adjusting to her powers and embracing them, those are all really fun scenes to write,” she says. “Particularly when you picture Kristen Stewart playing her, and the way she’s embodied Bella as a sort of awkward, fidgety persona. When she turns into a vampire, all of that goes away.”

POPSUGAR : Interview with Melissa Ronsenberg!

Source

Now that Eclipse has hit theaters and broken box office records, Twilight fans are already anxiously awaiting the next onscreen chapter in Bella and Edward's love story: Breaking Dawn. We talked exclusively to Melissa Rosenberg, the screenwriter behind all of the Twilight films, to find out what we can expect from the final two installments. She weighed in on whether or not Bella's childbirth scene will make it to the screen, shared her most surprising fan moment, and dished on her creative relationship with Stephenie Meyer.


Melissa will be speaking in LA at the Writer's Guild Foundation on Tuesday evening — tune into a livestream here. In the meantime, check out our all-new exclusive interview with her here now.

PopSugar: How did you feel about the decision to split Breaking Dawn into two movies?

Melissa Rosenberg: Relief, actually, because it was going to be quite a challenge to condense such a large book into one movie. That's always the challenge with all of these and, more so, Breaking Dawn. Having a little more room to breathe is nice . . . on the other hand, there's also the challenge of making sure there's enough to fill two movies.

PS: We've heard there are some scenes you want to avoid showing on screen in Breaking Dawn. For example, Bella giving birth. Can you tell us why?

MR: That was a misquote. The childbirth — all the scenes, I feel — should be on screen. I think perhaps what I was referring to was, would we actually see Edward's teeth through the placenta? I don't think so. I don't think we need to see that, and if someone needs to see that, I think they should take a look at that. [Laughs.] I believe it will be implied, but I don't think we'll see teeth in the placenta.

To read the rest of the interview about her craziest fan experience, her favorite scenes to write, and more, just read more.

PS: What responsibility do you feel toward the fans? Are they on your mind during the writing process?

MR: The responsibility I feel to the fans? Well, there's one: making them happy, of course. I want people to enjoy the movie and not feel that I killed their favorite novel! But what I've realized is, you can't satisfy all the people. But the real weight that I feel is a very heavy responsibility, knowing that a lot of women and young girls are seeing this, and watching to make sure that what's portrayed in the film is that Bella's a strong female role model. That the messages they're getting are positive ones.

PS: What's the craziest or most surprising fan reaction you've experienced?

MR: You can't call it crazy, but crazy wonderful. I just came back from Paris. I was there [for a press junket] with some of the actors: Daniel Cudmore, Edi Gathegi, Michael Welch, and Alex Meraz. At the end, there was this closing ceremony and we were told there was a surprise for us, and they led us out on the stage . . . and the entire audience was sort of standing in this darkened theater, almost as if in prayer. It was very odd. And then after a moment, Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" starts up, and they break into a dance they've been choreographing for three days. This wonderful, very unified dance, and it was amazing. We were stunned. A thousand pairs of hands all raised to the beat at the same time — it's a powerful experience . . . I wondered, could that have happened anywhere else but in France? Would American audiences have been too cool?

PS: How involved is Stephenie Meyer in the writing process and what is your relationship with her like?

MR: Stephenie is very involved. My relationship with her has only gotten better with every movie. When I met her and began to engage, I had no reason to be protective. I found her to be extremely collaborative and a tremendous resource. So I began to engage her more and that happened more on New Moon and even more in Eclipse . . . She weighs in on every draft of the outline, every draft of the script. She's on set. She's very involved.

PS: What is one of your favorite scenes from the books or films? Is there one you've especially enjoyed writing or look forward to writing?

MR: There are a number. I think seeing Bella as a vampire and her adjusting to her powers and embracing them, those are all really fun scenes to write. Particularly when you picture Kristen Stewart playing her, and the way she's embodied Bella as a sort of awkward, fidgety persona. When she turns into a vampire, all of that goes away.

Sorry, K-Stew, but you told R-Patz to suck it up when he complained about his Twilight makeup, and now he can’t wait to return the favor!


Robert Pattinson is psyched to start shooting Breaking Dawn, but it isn’t his own scenes he’s most looking forward to. No, the British hottie says he can’t wait to see real-life GF Kristen Stewart struggle with her vampire makeup because she’s been so unsympathetic about his own complaints during the previous three Twilight films!

“I’ve been complaining throughout the entire series about having to wear contacts, and all this makeup and how difficult everything is,” he tells BBC1. “And she’s always saying, ‘Oh come on. It’s not that hard.’

The 24-year-old British hunk added, “I know she’s going to be complaining so much about it, and I’m very much looking forward to not showing her any sympathy.”

Now, now, Rob. We know that misery loves company, but surely you’ll take it easy on the love of your life, right?

'Breaking Dawn' Begins Shooting This Fall for Nov. 18, 2011 Release

With 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' amassing more than $203.7 million domestically and $104.6 million overseas as of Friday, Summit Entertainment has cast its gaze on the next episode in the Stephenie Meyer-penned saga by announcing that 'Breaking Dawn' will begin filming this fall in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Vancouver.
The shoot for the final chapter, which will be released as two separate films, will last for the better part of next year, culminating in the release on Nov. 18, 2011 of the first of the two parts.

Academy Award-winner Bill Condon ('Gods and Monsters,' 'Dreamgirls') will direct both films, with returning cast members Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Billy Burke, Peter Facinelli, Elizabeth Reaser, Jackson Rathbone, Nikki Reed, Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz. Melissa Rosenberg, who wrote the screenplays for the first three 'Twilight' films, is currently working on the screenplay for the last editions.

With the same cast, writer and production company for all the 'Twilight' sagas (the only variable has been directors -- Catherine Hardwicke, Chris Weitz and David Slade), it's safe to assume that 'Breaking Dawn' will continue the winning streak for all concerned -- and keep Twihards very, very happy well into 2013.

MTV: ‘Breaking Dawn’ Won’t Be Rated R, Summit Promises

Source

‘I can’t say for a fact, but I just don’t see us getting into an R-rated area,’ studio’s distribution chief tells MTV News.


In the “Twilight” universe, there are levelheaded questions — will “Breaking Dawn” be in 3-D? — and then are the improbable, yet intriguing, ones. Among the more puzzling queries is whether, based on the many scream-inducing elements of its source material, “Breaking Dawn,” will draw an R rating instead of the usual, Twi-approved PG-13.


It’s hard to imagine Summit Entertainment making a “Twilight” movie that would require its tween-heavy audience to convince adults to buy them movie tickets, but the idea nonetheless remains a topic of discussion in the blogosphere. So we decided to put the question to Summit. While the studio acknowledges that discussions about an R rating are definitely taking place (“By all means,” said distribution chief Richie Fay), the studio remains committed to its tried-and-true PG-13.


“I don’t see it ever becoming an R-rated movie,” Fay told MTV News. “The middle road we have to travel is a mutual respect as to staying true to the book but not turning off your audience.


“It’s always with the eye of making Stephenie Meyer happy and making the audience happy,” he added. “I can’t say for a fact, but I just don’t see us getting into an R-rated area with any of the ‘Twilight’ titles.”



That sentiment jibes with what “Breaking Dawn” scribe Melissa Rosenberg has been saying for a while.


“In this series, you don’t sacrifice anything,” she said in April. “There are some movies that wouldn’t play at PG-13, like ‘The Hangover,’ but this is just not one of them for me. Again, if you’re capturing character, emotion and emotional journey, you’re OK.”
