It is official! Breaking Dawn will be filmed and it will be shot as two separate movies. For months the Twilight world has been a buzz with rumors about Breaking Dawn and its productions; the where, the when, the how. Unfortunately most of those questions still go unanswered, but here is what we do know.

Breaking Dawn has officially been green-lit, although there is no press release from Summit confirming this yet. But don’t worry too much about that, it also took them awhile to release press releases about the casting of Taylor Lautner and Bryce Dallas Howard. It will be split into 2 different films, the first of which is starting production in October of 2010. There is still no named director but all signs point to Gus Van Sant, who is currently filming a movie with Bryce Dallas Howard. As to the controversy of where it is being filmed, there is still no word, but Gus Van Sant is known for filming movies in Oregon, so that could be a clue!

However, not all the news is good news. Twilight stars Kristen Stewart, Rob Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner have not signed on to shoot the second half of Breaking Dawn yet and sources are saying they are no where close to an agreement. These stars are getting super famous and they are in high demand so there prices are going up. Especially Taylor Lautner, whose fees have gone up to 7.5 million!!

Hopefully we get more answers soon, but for now that is all I have for you! Casting for this production will start very soon and as soon as I know, I will share the info!

Are you glad it is being separated? Who do you think should play Reneesme? Share your opinions with us!!
