Twilight Triology May Be Extended For One More Film

(HMG) – Now don’t get too excited, Twihards, this has nothing to do with a new book. But the final film ‘Breaking Dawn’ may be split into two films to end the franchise.

It is a popular move for breakthrough series. Warner Bros. have chosen to do it with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and now Summit might be going the same way.

But there are a few problems keeping it from being a done deal.

First off all, it is crazy expensive to suddenly throw another movie into the mix. Just securing the lead actors, who have become international sensations, will be difficult and come with a heavy price tag.

Then you have budgets for production and staff, which will be well into the millions, and supporting cast that will hopefully remain true to the original roles.

Next, you have the problem of securing the director for another movie when it was only supposed to be one.

Chris Weitz is already set to direct a film outside of the Twilight series, and he has been speaking eagerly about getting started. A smaller script, the new flick is a film called ‘The Gardener’ with Paul Witt and Christian McLaughlin producing.

If the finale becomes a two-parter, they will have to be shot back to back. This means more time away from his pet project.

There are a lot of obstacles, but chances are Summit will take the leap. After all, the movies so far, especially ‘New Moon’, have had an enormous payoff, and the finale will probably have an even bigger one.
