So because they think that Twilight’s last book is like Harry Potter’s last book they want to break the film into two parts. You know, for artistic integrity, and not at all to rake in a double paycheque.
Well it seems that Twilight scribe Stephanie Meyers thinks that might not be a good idea. Unfortunately for the studio, she’s the one in charge.
Believing that double the work means double the money, Summit wants to split “Breaking Dawn” into two parts. Meanwhile, author of “Twilight Saga” novels Stephenie Meyer, who is said having a different agenda, reportedly does not give her consent to the studio’s plan.
“Stephenie is calling the shots and she still can’t decide whether or not [making two movies] is the right thing to do creatively,” an insider told the site. “Meyer isn’t in it for the fame. She hates doing press, and she doesn’t want to be recognized for anything other than her work, so what’s her incentive to drag [the book] out?”
Harry Potter’s last film would be a mess if they had to cram all that story into one movie, however in the case of Twilight, they will be hard pressed to convince me that there even needs to be ONE film for Breaking Dawn.
Let me first say that I didn’t mind the Twilight series. I read it. I didn’t hate it. And there were parts of it I did enjoy. Bella is a refreshingly realistic teenage girl. Completely unreasonable and emotionally unstable.
I am going to tread on potential spoilers here so stop reading if you haven’t read the fourth book yet. Or if you are enjoying the series, I can sum it up for you and save you the time.
Anyways, the fourth book was a waste. Its the longest epilogue to a story I have ever read. Honestly, the entire content of the 4th book could be summed up in one chapter at the end of the third. It didn’t need to happen.
And what DOES happen in the book is that Bella gets married to Eddie (sorry Team Jacob), she becomes a vampire, has a halfbreed vampire baby and the Volturi show up intent on killing her and it. Bella’s new extended family stands off to support her giving the Volturi reason to pause, and they convince them that the baby isn’t a threat to vampire life.
Happily ever after. No action, no drama, nothing.
Roll Credits.
This should end at the action packed throwdown at the end of the third book, and show this all during the credits.
