The news we've all been waiting for has finally been released! Summit Entertainment has announced that Breaking Dawn will be made into two-- yes, I said two-- movies!

Filming for the first movie will start this fall and they will film nonstop for both movies. The first film is due to be released in November of 2011, and the second film will be released in summer of 2012.

Personally, I think this is great news! It stretches the hype out a little longer, and we have an extra film to look forward to! I know some people think Breaking Dawn should only be one film, but I think there is enough information in the book to be able to make two awesome films. With one film we're all going to sit here and pout about which scenes didn't make it into the film. Now we have nothing to worry about! Hopefully Melissa Rosenberg (screenwriter), will place in all the scenes from the book and possible a little more!

This is straight from Summit themselves!
