How Breaking Dawn Should Be Made

Another wonderful article from the Twilight Examiner. She talks about why and how to make Breaking Dawn into a movie.

Here's what we do know. Firstly, The Twilight Saga: New Moon is in full-swing as it films on-set in Vancouver, British Columbia. Also, it's budget has been increased to $51 million (from Twilight's $37 million), reportedly, indicating that expectations are, understandably, higher from Summit Entertainment, the director, the cast, and crew of the up-coming film (due on November 20, 2009). Also, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse has been confirmed by Summit for release in North America on June 30, 2010 (a little over 6 months from New Moon's release date).

We also know that Summit Entertainment has taken The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn as an "optioned property," which, basically, means that they have the choice whether to make the film or not - and they haven't decided at this point. We also know that Robert Pattinson was quoted to say on the Red Carpet of the Oscar's this March that Breaking Dawn would, indeed, be made as well (video below - saying "and Breaking Dawn's gonna be done at some point as well, so yeah...").

So where does that leave us? Unfortunately, fans, in limbo. With the imminent and inevitable success of The Twilight Saga: New Moon and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, the demand-side will certainly not be an issue. Rumor had it that the issue was with the character Renesmee and the impossibility of casting a baby with a full set of teeth who continues to grow at rapid and inexplicable speed, talks (when she actually speaks) like a mature adult of wisened years, and who can do spectacular things physically (such as, for instance, jump eight feet in the air to catch a snowflake).

I am reminded of a particular series of wildly successful and well-done films which remains amidst the heat of speculation as to whether it will be completed - The Lord of the Rings series (with Elijah Wood and crew). The Hobbit, which was the first book in J.R.R. Tolkien's literary series, was never made, and fans of the series continue to plead for it. So far, their prayers have remained unanswered, despite the heavy demand, unbelievable success of the films, and, most likely, the willingness of the cast. Click here to read more.
