A lot of new/old news has been released regarding a Breaking Dawn movie. Apparently Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner have already negotiated and signed their contracts for the movie. The LA Times gives us some major details on whether or not Chris Weits [director of New Moon] will return to direct the final film(s) of the saga. As of right now they don't have any other directors in mind. But they are searching through their lists trying to find the right one that will bring the book alive, and keep the fans happy. They also report that it is still unclear on whether or not the film will be made in to one, two, or even three films. As it looks right now, they are leaning towards two movies. We will see once Melissa finishes with the screenplay and they discuss where to go from there. With the film talking about being underway... they are still unsure on how to approach the character of Renesmee. But No worries Twi-hards! They are thinking about it as I write this. Along with screenwriter, Melissa Rosenberg. She is now hard at work writing the screenplay for the movie(s).

Wyck Godfrey, the producer of all the films in the "Twilight" saga, admits that the creative team still doesn't know how they'll handle the character in the "Breaking Dawn" movie, but said that the plan is absolutely for the production to go forward -- as either one or two installments -- with an eye toward beginning to shoot in Vancouver this fall. All three stars are signed for "Breaking Dawn," he said, meaning that Stewart and Pattinson will be dealing with the joys and woes of interspecies parenting and newly minted heartthrob Taylor Lautner will return as often-shirtless shape-shifter Jacob Black. At the moment, screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg, who's penned all the "Twilight" movies, is working on the "Breaking Dawn" script(s). "It's a work in process," Godfrey said in an interview Friday. "The issue [of whether there will be one or two movies] is not going to be resolved until we get the full treatment and see whether it's organic. If it's not organic, I don't think it will be done, and if it is, it will be. It really has to do with how much level of detail from the books there is, with all of these new vampires that appear in 'Breaking Dawn,' the whole section about Jacob... It's a very long single movie if it does become a single movie." Although there's been a great deal of online chatter about whether Chris Weitz, director of the second and most recent movie, "New Moon," would return to helm "Breaking Dawn," Godfrey downplayed that possibility, saying, "I think everyone would be happy and excited if he came back, but I don't think it's going to happen."
