'Twilight' Scribe Will Return To Pen 'Breaking Dawn' & Summit Still Might Make It A Two-Parter (Our Take? Terrible Idea!)

Melissa Rosenberg has got to be the happiest lady in the Twi-verse. She has just signed on, according to E! Online, to pen the screenplay of the final “Twilight” novel, “Breaking Dawn” — which, by the way, we still don’t know if it’s going to be in one or two movies.

According to E!, when they spoke to Melissa last week, she said “everything was still up in the air,” but their “Twilight” insider said Melissa's deal is done, though Summit has returned to the idea of splitting “Breaking Dawn” into two movies.

Comment by tracy on September 24, 2009 at 12:13pm: i will be really upset if they only made one movie out of Drakind Dawn. however I dont see STEPHENIE MEYER letting them only make 1 movie out of the book. this is her baby and she already said she wants Braking Dawn to be made of a two part movie and that she know's where she wants the first BD will start and end and where the 2nd BD will start and end. and really i think it's up to her NOT summit.

Comment by Megan Banana =D on September 24, 2009 at 12:14pm: I think they need to make 2 movies too. Cauz' if they make only one movie, it will be less details and we'll certainly be disapointed !! But I think the first could finish just after Nessie's birth =)
I'm lOokin 4wrd anyway xDD

Comment by J.E.B. (Jacob Edward Black) on September 24, 2009 at 12:16pm: I think I would like to see one long movie 3 hours at least....i don't think i could handle waiting another 6 mos. for the 4th......

Comment by Elizabeth Cullen on September 24, 2009 at 12:23pm: WHAT!?!?!?!
thats ridecules! they will be able to get more details in 2 movies then they will 1 movie!!!!!!!!!
it's a great idea!
sure we will have to wait longer but who cares? do you want them to screw the details up?
I THNK THEY SHOULD GO FOR IT!

Comment by Stephanie on September 24, 2009 at 12:29pm: Ugh! a two part movie for Breaking Dawn is terrible. That book doesn't have the storyline to pull that off. In my opinion, it was the worst book of the series. I wouldn't mind if they changed and added some things to the movie to make it more interesting.

Comment by Sam on September 24, 2009 at 12:36pm: Well I don't know how they could make a 2 part movie of it. The movie becomes boring (impossible with edward), the storyline will get boring if it gets split somewhere.
But it can't be pushed into a 2 hour movie. I'm thinking a 3 hour movie. That must be enough.
I mean if they can make an horrible movie (funny people) last for like over 2 hours of boringness. They can sure enough make one of the best books in the world into a 3 hour during movie.
I would like 2 movies though, cause then we can see them on big screen again. And I wouldn't mind more Edward time!! :-) But I think 2 movies is too long for Breaking Dawn. Although something in me hopes there will be 2.

Comment by Monika Lopez on September 24, 2009 at 12:39pm: Well, I think it would be best for 2 movies... but for this to work out.. they would need to film both movies at the same time kind of how Lord Of the Rings was made... so they the actors wont look that different in age ect.... would do some good.

Comment by seekingbecca on September 24, 2009 at 12:43pm: People, think: Lord of the rings. It had alot of details. They can make Breaking Dawn into a 3hour Movie, no FAN would object. ( they can just charge a little more- Summit is just worried they won't make as much money, if they release 1 film). IF you've read it right Eclipse and Breaking dawn will be a year apart in theaters. So I Imagine BD 1 & BD 2 will most likely be a minumum of 6 to 8 months apart. A maximum 8 to 12 months apart. who could wait that long. Eclipse june 2010 - Breaking dawn pt 1 june 2011- Breaking Dawn pt.2 June 2012. The last 2 dates are RIDICULUS. It should be 1 FILM - 3HOURS- APRIL 2011.

Comment by TwiMom1 on September 24, 2009 at 12:51pm: Make it into two movies, absolutely! AND make sure they are long enough for each one to flesh out the story! I'm quite sure NO real fan would object to sitting there for two & 1/2 or more hours - as long as the movie is good and stays true to the book! Honestly, it seriously needs an R rating...the book is a much more mature telling than the first three to begin with, and they will have to make it that much more visually...
