Confirmed: 'Breaking Dawn' will be released as two films
'Part 2' will release sometime in 2012
Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson will return in "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" not once, but twice.
Summit Entertainment confirmed what was long suspected today, "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" will be released in two installments. No date was given for the second picture, but "Part 1" is still set for the originally announced Nov. 18, 2011. Logically, "Part 2" will either duplicate the upcoming "Twilight Saga: Eclipse's" mid-summer date the following year or wait a complete 12 months until Nov. 2012.
Based on Stephenie Meyer's best selling novel, both chapters of "Breaking Dawn" will be directed by Oscar winner Bill Condon and feature franchise stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. Additional cast members including Billy Burke, Peter Facinelli, Elizabeth Reaser, Jackson Rathbone, Nikki Reed, Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz will also return.
Fans will now have to speculate exactly where in the book screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg and Condon will break up the story for its cliffhanger. They officially have 17 months to speculate.
