'Twilight: Breaking Dawn – Part II' Set for November 2012
This gives everyone something to look forward to
The date has been set folks, on November 16, 2012 Summit will release The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 marking the end of the Twilight theatrical experience that begun four years earlier with Twilight on November 21, 2008.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1, the first installment in the two-part finale, hits theaters one year earlier on November 18, 2011, which means fans will be forced to wait a whole year for Bella (Kristen Stewart), Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Jacob's (Taylor Lautner) return. Of course, this also means Summit is ensuring themselves of big funds from 2010 – 2013 as the Twilight franchise quickly became their largest source of income.
Breaking Dawn is based on the fourth book in Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" saga and continues the human-vampire-werewolf love triangle between Bella, Edward and Jacob. Here's a bit on the story:
To be irrevocably in love with a vampire is both fantasy and nightmare woven into a dangerously heightened reality for Bella Swan (Stewart). Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for Edward Cullen (Pattinson), and in another by her profound connection to werewolf Jacob Black (Lautner), a tumultuous year of temptation, loss, and strife have led her to the ultimate turning point. Her imminent choice to either join the dark but seductive world of immortals or to pursue a fully human life has become the thread from which the fates of two tribes hangs.
Now that Bella has made her decision, a startling chain of unprecedented events is about to unfold with potentially devastating, and unfathomable, consequences. Just when the frayed strands of Bella's life–first discovered in Twilight, then scattered and torn in New Moon and Eclipse–seem ready to heal and knit together, could they be destroyed… forever?
The astonishing, breathlessly anticipated conclusion to the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn illuminates the secrets and mysteries of this spellbinding romantic epic that has entranced millions.
Both parts will be directed by Bill Condon (Dreamgirls).
So now Twilight fans and haters have something to look forward to. By November 2012 we may have heard the last of Bella Swan.

Push it back a month so I can have something to do on December 22nd 2012.
I think I will be waiting with baited breath…………or maybe I won't.
I don't care
So this is what causes the end of the world…
thats some bad news for monster inc. 2 because twilight is gonna crush it, i wanted it to do so good well in a few days we will get news that monster inc. 2 will be moved
Not neccasarly:
In the UK on July 2007 Michael Bay's Transformers (Twilight for boys) went head to head against The Simpsons Movie (from Monsters Inc. helmer David Silverman). The latter won.
I sense Monsters Inc 2 being bigger than Breaking Dawn part 1.
If Toy Story 3 is anything to go by, Monsters Inc 2 will have brilliant legs and rave reviews.
Same weekend as Monsters Inc. 2? Lolz that's moronic. If they're filming it back-to-back, they can easily release it in the summer. I mean June 2012 is empty right now, with only Star Trek 2 getting released on June 29. Use that.
Yeah, but a late 2012 release helps funds for 2013. It also means a big push at Comic Con 2012 and 2011. This year's Con was lacking in fangirl intensity with the Twilight absence. Marketing and money is what it's all about.
A late 2012 release also helps with awards traction, so this is a good idea. And don't hate. There are far worse films than the first 3 (Transformers 2, All About Steve, Knowing, Alvin and the Chipmunks, etc.).
Help with Awards traction my arse, with Jane Eyre (featuring Jamie Bell and Mia Wasikowska) unleashed in 2011, Breaking Dawn can say goodbye to Oscar glory!
Well, at least it will have lasted only four years.
Could've been worse…
Can you imagine if there was 8 books?! And the last four were split into two!!! We would have like TWENTY YEARS of Twilight!!! o_O
Jokes aside, I think it's stupid this whole 'Part I and II' subtitling this and Harry Potter are using. Why not just give it a brand new title? Like 'Twilight Saga: Tea Time' or 'Harry Potter and the Whatever Thing of Blah'?
They surely could come up with something better than just 'this is just the half of it'!
People get confused. Not to mention both "Twilight" and "Harry Potter" fans would be riled about the title change.
And while I get the money issue as an excuse for Summit to have a year-long wait between films (as opposed to just a 6-8 month wait between), you might as well strike while the iron is hot. Summer 2012 is getting packed. Probably had BD2 opened in late June, it'd be trounced by the "Star Trek" sequel AND the third Batman film.
Would they? I mean, they could call it "Twilight 5" or "Harry Potter 8" and people would still know its another chapter in the franchise. Being it the same title from a novel or not. It works with James Bond… I know, two completely diferent situations, James Bond is not a 'saga' per se, but what I mean is that with any marketing, people do realize that 'Die Another Day' is a James Bond movie. Even if Ian Fleming never used that title for a story.
Can you imagined if Quantum of Solace was called 'Casino Royale – Part II'? So lame!
But I understand the whole fanbase dilema, that's true. They hate if just one page from those books are missing, let alone create a whole other chapter title!!
IT IS STUPID FOR THEM TO CUT IT IN TWO WHY CANT THEY JUST MAKE THE WHOLE MOVIE AND GET IT OVER WITH
There is too much stuff for one movie… wedding, honeymoon, pregnancy, jacobs split from the pack, impending wolf fights, birth, death, rebirth, the first hunt, the trouble with renesme and Irina, renesme's power, the visitors, bellas power, the voturi conspiricy, the witnesses. and all of that has to be shown and not read. translating book to film is not as easy as it sounds. and people can only sit in the theatre so long. though i do wish they would make it closer to gether, I understand that the new effects for renesme are going to be complicated and I heard they need time to deal with that.
The thing is, the WB did use the initials early on to promote the fifth film onwards (on their website at first). But as HP fan myself, I'd be pretty pissed if the WB changed the name of 'Deathly Hallows: Part Two' to something tiresome like "Harry Potter 8".
I think "Breaking Dawn" and "Deathly Hallows" should be looked at as long, interconnected films. David Yates and David Heyman said they wanted to make the two-part finale both two separate and distinct films, but also as one big film. That's probably what Summit and Bill Condon will do as well.
