It's been announced that Breaking Dawn will not just be one movie, but will be broken into two!
Summit Entertainment officially announced its decision to split the final "Twilight" adaptation, "Breaking Dawn," into two separate movies, says the Hollywood Reporter. The move makes sense for anyone familiar with the novels, since "Breaking Dawn" the book is somewhere in the neighborhood of 730 pages long.

Bill Zwecker of the Chicago Sun-Times says that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are very upset that Catherine Hardwicke will not be the director of the next installment in the Twilight book-to-movies project.
The genesis of the actors' anger comes from a feeling the film studio -- Summit Entertainment -- is far too eager to rush out the second ''Twilight'' flick, without prepping for it properly, as Stewart and Pattinson believed Hardwicke would do.
Kristen Stewart has hinted that the New Moon movie will begin filming in March.
Additionally, she talked about the possibility of filming in Italy:
Apart from when the shooting may begin, the 18-year-old also gushed about where some of the filming will take place. "A lot of the book takes place in Italy, and I think we're going to get to go to Italy, which is so cool," she said, adding, "For a while there, they were like, 'oh, we don't know if we have the money', but now I think we may have the money!"

The Chicago Sun-Times points out the obvious today. With the announcement that New Moon will be coming to theaters sometime in the future, and Eclipse likely right around the corner (they'll probably film those two at the same time), Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson should be expecting pretty big pay raises to go along with the new movies.
There's one rule in Hollywood that's rarely broken: Pull in big bucks at the box office and a sequel -- or three -- is virtually guaranteed. Of course the ''Twilight'' film's $70 million-plus bonanza this weekend was largely due to a built-in fan base -- thanks to the enormous success of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight novels.
So, not only have deals been cut for a not-unexpected second ''Twilight'' film (based on Meyer's New Moon book), but I've learned a third film is also virtually a done deal, based on Meyer's Eclipse novel -- though that won't be confirmed for some time.
Also, sources say stars Robert Pattinson, 22, and Kristin Stewart, 18, will get huge salary boosts from the $2 million each earned for "Twilight" -- reportedly $10 million more, per film, plus a nice percentage of the future movies' box-office take.
