Two more Twilight movies on the way
December 7, 2009 10 Comments Article By : Alan
Those who are caught up in the Twilight fever may get a bonus treat as film executives from Summit Entertainment are thinking about taking a page from the Harry Potter sagas and splitting the last novel in the Twilight series into two movies.
The final novel, Breaking Dawn, would be split into two movies which is great news for the stars that then get double pay deals.
The decision is being heavily pondered after the latest Twilight film, New Moon, took in around £300m, in about two weeks. Splitting the novel into two would mean that the studio can cash in for a little longer.
An industry insider stated that given how much earning potential anything Twilight has the company is seriously considering elongating the mystery.
Before the studio can go ahead with the deal however, they will need to get the blessing of the Twilight author, Stephanie Meyer, and also renegotiate casting salaries of the (now) big budget stars such as Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson.
Pattinson has already seen the boost of his ratings from the film becoming one of the biggest British exports in the top ten of the Forbes fastest earners list. If he takes on both Twilight finals he could easily become ranked as one of the top earners in Britain.
In order for the move to be made, large contracts would be expected, since none of the stars are under contract for a fifth movie.
Additionally, with the popularity of the movie it would be hard to replace the stars, instead the studio would be forced to pay Pattinson’s and Stewart’s asking prices.
I don’t know if the last book being split into two movies is a good thing. I love the books and the movies…some have even called me obsessed lol but I have mixed feelings about it. I guess it depends on how long of a gap there is between the two movies. If you’re as obsessed about twilight as I am check this out…there is some cool twilight stuff http://www.wallingsdecor.com

I actually think it is a good idea to do it in two movies. Otherwise this would be a very long movie. There is just so much that is covered in the book. If they did one movie they would probably have to cut a lot of it out.

I’m really not your typical Twilight fan but my late 20?s girlfriends and I had drinks followed by a midnight showing. I thought it was that it was much better than Twilight but still not quite right. I think Kristen did a wonderful job. The script was better and the funny moments were a lot of fun. I am a Team Edward gal but the film makes you become enfatuated with for Jacob. Taylor did wonderful. He was by far the best performance in the movie and, in a way that I could not get to in the book, I felt the difficulty of Bella?s choice to pick Edward over Jacob. However, I felt the beginning and finish were really poor. And at the end there was too much ?coldness? between Bella and Edward. The chemistry did not really come out?.
