Twilight Bites: The Latest Breaking Dawn Movie Updates

Peter Facinelli isn’t the only one who has been blabbing about Breaking Dawn recently. New sources are spilling info about the behind-the-scenes workings of the upcoming final chapter in the Twilight series — and one bit of news has me positively cringing.

• Why doesn’t the film have a director yet?
  Stephenie Meyer still hasn’t decided whether she wants one or two films. Word is that she’s just not sure which would be best for the film “creatively.” Some of you have your own opinions about the script, so what’s your advice for Meyer?

For the other gossip (warning: big spoiler if you haven’t read Breaking Dawn!), read more.

• When will filming begin?
  They hope to shoot the fourth book as early as this Fall in Vancouver, according to a recent interview with the film’s producer, Wyck Godfrey.
• How are they going to pull off Renesmee, the half vampire, half human child of Bella and Edward?
  Godfrey shed some light on this, as well: “I keep having visions of Benjamin Button in my head. It’s certainly going to be visual effects in some capacity along with an actor. I wouldn’t be surprised if it ends up being a full CG creation, but it also may be a human shot on a soundstage that then is used to shrink down.”

Shrinking down a human a la Honey I Shrunk the Kids? Oy. I bet the members of my Twilight the Saga group have a thing or two to say about this. Hopefully the final Renesmee won’t look as ridiculous as she sounds.
