As you all probably have heard by now, there are many MANY “Breaking Dawn” rumors floating around the internet. One of the biggest rumors right now is that “Breaking Dawn” (if it is made into a movie) will not be filmed in Vancouver, but instead back in Portland Oregon where the first movie was filmed due to tax incentives.

A person by the name of Kelly at “ThePortlander” supposedly has some ‘inside’ info, claiming the fourth book will indeed be made into a movie and will be filmed in Portland. It has also being reported by various outlets that the production crew for both “New Moon” and “Eclipse” have been told that they can find other jobs because they are no longer needed due to British Columbia’s current tax credit scheme being less attractive than other cities, specifically Portland, which desperately wants the “Twilight” saga back for the final installment. Adding fuel to the fire are reports that “Breaking Dawn” has been given the green-light and will be in two separate movies

“According to sources, the fourth and final story in Stephanie Meyer’s series will be released in two parts and production will once again take place in Portland, Oregon. In addition a new production company, Sunswept Entertainment, has been brought in for Breaking Dawn, which is due to shooting in September 2010. Creator of Sunswept Entertainment, Karen Rosenfelt will produce, Rosenfelt also served as Producer on “Twilight” and “The Twilight Saga: New Moon“.

A director has not yet been attached to the project. According to sources there will likely be heavy censoring of Breaking Dawn’s explicit sex and birth scenes in order to avoid an ‘R’ rating. Although Summit have not confirmed that the film will be shot in two parts, author Stephanie Meyer has stated: ‘It would have to be made into multiple movies because it’s hard to imagine it fitting into ninety minutes.’”

Throwing his hat into the rumor ring is “New Moon” director Chris Weitz who hinted in an interview he just might take over directing duties again for the fourth movie.

“No official offer has been made,” the director said when asked about directing “Breaking Dawn.” “The fans have been enthusiastic about the ['New Moon'] footage and the trailer, and the studio responds to that by feeling good about me. We’ll have to see how people feel about the entire movie, not only the studio but the fans, before the verdict is out whether I direct # 4.”

Weitz goes on to say that he had a “really good collaboration” with author Stephenie Meyer and consulted her throughout making the film, on crucial elements such as the depiction of the Volturi headquarters in Italy. So potentially, this could work in his favor for being named director of the last movie in the saga. But, rumors are just that, rumors. Until there is an official statement made by Summit Entertainment, I will just have to sit here and patiently wait while praying to my Edward Cullen cardboard standup for another movie with my beloved sparkly vampire.

If you remember, “New Moon” and “Eclipse” were not announced until after “Twilight” hit theaters, so I’m expecting any announcement pertaining to “Breaking Dawn” to be officially announced after “New Moon” has its opening week in theaters. Why? The first reason is surely Summit doesn’t want to overshadow “New Moons” glory with an announcement. The second reason boils down to nothing more than money. Breaking Dawn is going to need a ton of CGI (Renesmee, anybody?) and I’m sure payroll for the fourth film would be much higher, so Summit will need to know the revenue “New Moon” will be bringing in to figure out how much money they’ll have for “Breaking Dawn.” Given the Twilight-phenomenon that has been casted down upon us, I’m sure money won’t be an issue.
