Okay, you guys don’t have any time for Twilight, I get it. But what do you know about how utterly bizarre - and seemingly unmarketable - the fourth book in the series, Breaking Dawn gets? It’s not your standard mopey emo fare, that’s for sure.

There’s been plenty of speculation about when, or even if, Summit could bring Breaking Dawn to the screen. It’s a story that features a surprising amount of sex, even some rather surreal sex, and perhaps some transgressive sexual perversity - some notches beyond the vamp biting stuff from the series overall, which is a “safe” sexual metaphor acceptable for the tween market now, it would seem.

According to a new video interview with Making Of, clearly conducted before New Moon was released to record breaking bank, producer Wyck Godfrey promises that a big screen adaptation of the series’ final volume will follow. “There’s every intention to make Breaking Dawn“, he simply states. Does it really need to get any more official than that? Here’s the video.

I really don’t know why anybody should be more interested in seeing Breaking Dawn than Twilight, New Moon or the Eclipse one, neither buying into either the It’s-So-Bad-It’s-Good mindset nor any desire to see this whole emotween phenom go batcrap crazy and implode. Aren’t bad films just bad? I certainly don’t find them funny. Sad and pathetic, sometimes, but mainly tiring and infuriating.

I dread to think what would happen if the soft outer rings of Twilight viewers were suddenly plunged into the Breaking Dawn novel’s world of toxic vampire super-sperm and Wolfboy baby love (as in, Jacob Black falls in love - “romantic love” - with an infant). I’m quite sure things will be… er… tidied up a bit in the screenplay adaptation. Perhaps that’s what is delaying the announcement of a start date? Perhaps team Twilight are trying to rework the material in a way that they’ll still be able to get a PG-13 rating at the same time as at least loosely resembling their source.

    I can't wait to see what they do, because either way it will fail.
  • edward fucks bella til her back breaks can't wait to see how the public takes that.

    This is what the studio execs are thinking in their minds: "Lets milk this cash cow for everything she's worth; we need to make this as soon as possible before our 12 year old girls get too old and realize how cheezy we are."

    Wow I love reading these posts, everyone is nuts. I tried reading one of these books . . . I thought the sentence structure sucked so I stopped. Never saw a movie, never will. Ashley Greene is hot (see her on the cover of Maxim!) It seems Stewart and Pattinson regret making the films but it's their bread and butter. I'm looking forward to Daybreakers. Hells yeah!

    I don't care what the haters want why they hell DO I CARE THEY WON'T WATCH ANY OF THESE MOVIES !


    I love the books and I will be very disappointed if they don't finish the series out !
  • Ali Merciful
    LOL holy fuck, these are the funniest comments I've ever read. I do agree that BD was kind of cracktastic -- that's probably why its so entertaining and hard to put down. It sounds crazy when people try to explain Jacob, and the baby and the sex but if you read it, its not AS LAME (meaning its still a little) as it sounds. The only thing that fucked me over was how Bella could even get pregnant. Edward is frozen in time, he has no blood, no working organs, how the fuck did he get the ability to produce sperm and impregnate her? My ONLY theory was that the constant heat from the tropical island and rough sex caused his body to momentarily thaw and he ejaculated. I dont know. Everything else made snese after finishing the book except how she could get pregnant.
  • MEAGAN
    SAY NO TO CHRIS W FOR BREAKING DAWN !!! HE TORE NEWMOONS HEART AND SOUL OUT !!! NO TO CHRIS W FOR BD ..... ALOT OF TWIHARDS ARE NOT HAPPY ABOUT HIS NEW MOON PERFORMANCE SO PLEASE NO TO CHRIS W FOR B/DAWN!!!
  • TheHoneyBear
    Obviously. This isn't surprising.
  • Susie
    OK just to clear up a few things...whether you like Twilight or not here is the facts about Breaking Dawn. Edward promised that he will "try" to have sex with Bella but because he is from 1901 and is old-fashioned he will not have sex with her until they are married. After they get married, they do have sex but really they leave with them going to their room and then when they wake up the next day...you fill in the blanks. She does get pregnant but what do you expect with a human and a vampire...it's gonna be anything normal??? Then, the thing with Jacob and Bella's daughter, it's called imprinting and it has different meanings in the book. It is a connection between two people. It can be a romatic connection or one of protection to always be there and keep the other person safe....it can always lead to romatic but doesn't always mean that it will end that way. It's a little tramatic as to what happens to Bella and the reason she is hard for anyone to read...mind wise, but I the choice in how the book ended, I didn't want it to end, but it had to. There is a lot of information in the 4th book so it is very hard as a fan to see the whole thing crammed into one movie, but we will see...thanks for listening to my comment whether you agree or not...

    "it can always lead to romatic but doesn't always mean that it will end that way."

    I don't think you know what always means
  • starscream9289
    Edward fucks Bella into unconsciousness and gives her a C-Section......with his fucking FANGS!

    How could you not want to see this on film?
  • Sam
    I see it now: "Twilight meets Inside"...I like it!
  • matthew
    IDK for me its kinda like bad crack. like its horrible, i concede that, but its addictive for some reason I'm not sure. I enjoy myself while I'm reading it even though the books are god-awful, and I've liked both movies far more than the books they're based on. But as for the hysteria and the obsession, I just don't get it. I read the books once, will probably never read them again. But I also feel like you can look at several fictional universes, take some of the sci-fi fantasy novel series and say the same things. You can criticize them for their horrible writing or predictable plots, but at the end of the day people just keep reading them. It's the same with Twilight, it's just that at this level of popularity, its much easier to sit back and scoff at it. I'm not saying the criticism isn't valid, just that maybe if something like Warhammer had the same following, the blogosphere would echo the same things written in this article.
  • Mariel
    I am so happy to find someone who has the same feelings about the series as me, it's been so hard to explain to people that I hate it but at the same time there's just something about it that hooks you in.

    When the first book came out before everyone got all crazy about it, I loved it, I was 15 at the time and now being 18 I realized that its horrible but my 15 year old self comes up now and again and demands to watch the movie.
  • thats how i feel, beside the fact that im 25. haha. i mean its a story. a story told thousands of times and for odd reason people just love it.
  • jen
    The last book is pretty gory, when compared to the other ones. Bella's little half-vamp, half-human kid pretty much smashes her ribs in and breaks her spine before it eats it's way out of her stomach...and then Edward stabs bella in the heart with his venom and bites her all over her body so it can burn out her internal organs and arteries for three and a half days. I'm a chick and I can dig it. oh, but if you've read the book, jake doesnt fall "romantically in love" with bella's daughter...he imprints on her. Look it up.
  • moses
    "He imprints on her" sounds so wrong in so many different levels. Haha
  • My wife told me the whole story of twilight ( I read the first only) and I find it interesting that the last book does a complete 360 and make it seem like a whole different tale. The forth should be rated R. The way my wife describes the scenes, they are pretty brutal.
  • International_J
    Do you mean 180?
  • yea. haha. i was half asleep when i wrote that and playing xbox. haha.
  • So, what I've learned from Twilight is that I can write a "saga," throw in some mystical creatures, include plenty of sex, or 'almost sex' as it were, and make shitloads of money. I don't even have to possess any talent. I just have to get over the fact that people with good taste will hate and mock me for the rest of my life and then beyond my death for centuries and centuries to come.
  • The thing though, I wont say she is talentless. The only real reason people say that because of "the movies". If the movies were never made and Stephanie remain as one of the best selling authors in this decade, yes, best selling, not best overall, then no one would give a shit.

    My wife read the books when they first came out, then I guess word got out that the story was good enough to sell millions, before they ever announce any type of movies.

    Sorry if I'm coming off wrong. Just saying this because I like reading how people became writers like stephen king, dan brown, max brooks, etc and I found that Stephanie Meyers case she really did something she love and never gave up in publishing it. But if I was her, i would of never made the movie the way Hollywood made it or had them control so much of it. I hate tweens so much too. Very annoying.
  • I can hear the meeting in the studio boardroom already... "Can we remake the book and then shoot that version?"
  • Rick_Dickulous
    After reading about how amazingly over-the-top the last one goes, it has become the only Twilight movie I have any interest in seeing.
  • Isabella
    I loved it twilight saga. i just finished reading breaking dawn. i do hope so they make it through the big screen. i love to see how it will turn out! back off twilight haters! just shut up!
  • mbellerbrock
    As it is abundantly clear you are new here, let me be the first to welcome you to /film Isabella. That being said, I think you have us confused with people who actually want to hear your opinion on Twilight. Please kindly take your Twilight support elsewhere.
  • Okay, you convinced me.
  • I'd like to see how that works out. If i remember correctly the sex-scene between Edward and Bella is just as awkward as any situation between E&B in the previous books. While they have sex, he bites a pillow, and the next day she wakes up with bruises and doesn't remember the whole act. So between fucking her and biting a pillow, edward - apparently - beat her shitless.

    I still think Stephanie Meyer should write a book about S&M stuff or shut the fuck up.
  • SwedishLore15
    Uh, no. Actually, the bruises are from the fact that it was too difficult for a vampire to interact with a human in such a way. If you even read the books, then you would certainly know that Edward does not beat Bella. In fact, haters of Twilight seem to take all of the actions of certain characters out of context for maximum exaggeration.

    Twilight fans raised over $80,000 for Alex's Lemonade this month for "The Twilight Fandom Gives Back"...yeah, some "emo tweens" those people are.
  • mbellerbrock
    Hehe, *snicker* a Twihard amongst us!
  • presto117
    it's so difficult, in fact, that the bruises manifested magically on her body.

    man, the Stephanie Meyer is just filled with writing gold!

    the first book was a complete joke and anyone that tries to defend it as an actual piece of even semi-decent literature does not deserve any respect.
  • sanyo
    @AngryBroomstick Me too. On the other hand, I'm in the middle of reading Dune, and my inner Frank Herbert is shouting, "Noooooooooooo!"
  • presto117
    here, Angrybroomstick, this is the first book:

    - I don't really mind Arizona but I'm moving to somewhere I know I'm gonna hate anyways.
    - I hate this new place. I'm gonna whine about Arizona being better even though it's a fucking desert.
    - People are trying to be friendly and are trying to make me feel welcome. I hate people.
    - My dad just bought me a new car and saved me thousands of dollars and I now have that money to spend on me and save up for other important things, which was extremely considerate of him and is much more than I deserve. I don't like it.
    - That guy's hot. I don't think he likes me.
    - He's not here! The guy I know jack shit about and who doesn't even acknowledge my presence is gone!!!!!!!!!!!
    - He talked to me. I'm in love!!!!!!!!!!!!
    - I was walking down a dark street at night in a town that I don't know (because i'm so smart and am filled with common sense) and I almost got raped. I'm stupid.
    - He saved me and bought me dinner!!!!!
    - I love him.
    - Why do I love him? Cause he's hot!!!!!
    - He says I smell good!!!!!! OH MY GOD he says I smell good!!!!
    - Oh wait, that's because he wants to eat me. He's so perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!
    - He sparkles like a sequin. He's perfect!!!!
    - OMG because I smell good he loves me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    - Were in love!
    - He's hot.
    - Half his family hates me.
    - My truck is noisy.
    - Oh, crap, we've only got about 80 pages left and there's no coherent plot. quick, author, give us a conflict!
    - I'm gonna die! Nevermind, I'm ok!
    - He's hot.

    The end.
  • I feel tempted to read Stephenie Meyers' books just to see what's all the big fuss
  • I didn't read it, i'm not stupid. This is how i heard it from a Twilight Fan. She said the book itself doesn't really tell how she got those bruises. So he could 've beaten her.

    It doesn't really matter if he beat her or not, he still did hurt her. Domestic Violence is so romantic.
  • Sounds like this is going to be the one thats good.
  • This guy is a genius; did anyone else notice the clues he put in that short video indicating in fact they will not be releasing Breaking Dawn?

    1) He started the video with nodding his head side to side, giving the "no" signal. As in, "disregard this message it is a lie"
    2) He said making the first two movies took ALL of their efforts. There is none left for a third.
    3) There is no such date as November 21th
    4) If you watch closely near the end, he has his sleeve button unbuttoned revealing his arm. That is his final clue, telling us he has nothing (Breaking Dawn) up his sleeve.
  • filmbuffrich
    Are you serious? This isn't decoding a David Lynch film.
  • What? The third movie has already been shot, Breaking Dawn is the fourth
  • or. whatever.

    He's lying about the forth movie
  • NillerJ
    Sounds like the mormon writer went batshit crazy in the last one. Not having read it doesn't it hurt the abstinence message in the previous books or do all the freaks get what they "deserve"?
  • presto117
    there's no abstinence message. if i recall correctly, bella and cedr--err, edward even talk about sex (very briefly) and the only reason they don't do it is cause edward would kill her with his "strength". all those fucking girls are too stupid to actually read what's literally right there. in dialogue.
  • shany24paws
    Again...WRONG!!!! Geez ppl, read the book before commenting & saying the wrong things. Edward & Bella do have a discussion about sex. She wants to, he would like to. The reason Edward won't give in is because he says if there is a heaven, he wants Bella to be able to go to heaven by making sure she doesn't commit any sins. Even though Bella laughs @ that & even says she doesn't want to go to heaven if he's not there, which she doesn't believe would happen because she does believe they (vampires) have souls. Edward just doesn't want to take that chance with her soul.
  • Hahahahahahahaha, you gotta be fucking kidding me. This so sad.
  • NillerJ
    Come on. The entire book is riddled with hints to it. You even mention it yourself :) They bang = she gets owned. I've been awake for 30 hours so I cba to make a better argument than that ;/
  • Doesn't ruin any abstinence message - once they're married, it's all good
  • frug
    "as in, Jacob Black falls in love - “romantic love” - with an infant"
    You didn't tell me this was going to have SPOILERS. You have ruined the movie for me you son a bitch. This transgression can not stand! You better sleep with one open tonight!!
  • Sara
    He doesn't fall in love with her as a baby. You will find that out when you read the book. He imprints on her yes, but he doesn't fall in love with a baby. He is her protector, keeping her safe, watching over her, until she comes of age and can make that decision on her own.
  • Corey J
    Or in other words, keeps all other suiters away from the kid so that he can keep that virgin poonie clean until the day that he can slip his dirty warewolf dick inside of her. Gotcha.
