It’s confirmed: There will be a fourth Twilight movie. Wrapping up filming on New Moon and Eclipse, Robert Pattinson confirmed that he’s going to make Breaking Dawn.
Readers familiar with the Twilight saga–or those who’ve just heard about it on the Internet–know that the fourth book is the one where things finally get, er, physical between Bella and Edward, and that things don’t go according to plan. Breaking Dawn contains some scenes that would make the staunchest horror-movie fan a bit queasy. Added to that the fact that the book is essentially three books stuck together, and you get something that might be quite hard to film.
Still, fans might be ready for a little action (double entendre intended) after three movies where most of the plot centers around the breakups and makeups and tension between Bella and Edward (and of course Jacob). Stephenie Meyer’s skill doesn’t lie in epic battles or other things that translate well to film, but in getting inside the head of a teenage girl in love. Yet the middle of Breaking Dawn is told through Jacob’s voice, and it comes out surprisingly convincing as well.
So there are several things in Breaking Dawn that haven’t been in the previous books, some for the better, some decidedly worse, and I wouldn’t want any part of having to translate it to film, but we’ll get to see what becomes of it sometime in the next couple of years.

This was the book that involved a half-vampire, fast-growing baby trying to claw its way out of Bella’s uterus, culminating in Edward performing a cesarean with his teeth?
I think I speak for everyone when I say– D:
May 21st, 2009 at 8:53 am
wow! this is totally awesome! i can’t wait how they end up making all the hard-to-do scenes like the c-section adn and jacob turning into a wolf!! oh! and the baby renesme of course… cant wait! ( sp hurry it up!)
May 21st, 2009 at 11:37 am
wow i have read 2 of the books and i love them soa I’m very happy that there will be a 4 th movie and im also happy that i can read all the books !!!!!
May 21st, 2009 at 11:42 pm
Hopefully they don’t hold back on the movie. would be great to see Renesme chew/claw her way out of her mom. I CANNOT wait to see Bella attack Jacob (my favorite part in the book) Lol. Also can’t wait to see Bella as a vampire. The arm wrestle will be hilarious too. Lol.
May 23rd, 2009 at 4:36 am
i really do not want them to do this book, everyone has different opinions on this book and i think it would ruin it if they did it.
also how are they meant to film the baby? there’s no baby like that anywhere, also some of the scene are totally unsuitable and gory for like the younger teenage fans
May 23rd, 2009 at 2:31 pm
Amazing, i have read all four books more than once and the fourth book is my favorite, it’s going to be difficult to make, but if they do it right it’s going to be great, I can’t wait.
June 6th, 2009 at 7:04 am
They Cant do Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse and NOT do breaking dawn??????? That would be ludicrous!!! Come on guys if you did not like Breaking Dawn then you arent a true Twilight fan, im sorry!
Yes it will be hard to do, but i fully believe they CAN do it! And theres such a thing called CGI!!! And its quite popular, of course theres not a REAL baby that is masively intelligent and grows really bloody quickly, but that does not mean they can’t do it, i mean come on HAVE YOU SEEN TRANSFORMERS????????
I think no matter what they do and HOW they do it its going to be absolutely fantastic!
Stop fretting people! Also if you don’t like the idea of it, then if they do make it into a move then just don’t watch it!
Over and out!
June 8th, 2009 at 2:52 am
awesome can’t wait to see this movie! I hope they go all out and give it an R rating….why does everyone keep assuming this is a young teen series? I’m in my 30′s & loved all the books it’s for all ages and they should stay true to the story…it was weird, sexy,exciting and romantic
June 8th, 2009 at 8:48 pm
have to agree 100% with vikki…
nothing would make me happier. (except maybe a new book in the series…that would make my day)
you’re no true twilight fan if you don’t LOVE breaking dawn. I can not wait to see it on film. I’m sure no movie could do the book justice, but that’s true for any book made into a movie. BUT they did a good job w/Twilight and I am sure that they can figure out a way to work this out too. Hopefully it will be super long…like Lord of the Rings long…
June 8th, 2009 at 8:49 pm
oh and yea, go all out and give it an R rating!! I’m down w/that (that’s the only way they’re really going to be able to get all that “chewing through the uterus” and violent sex stuff on screen anyway…lol)
June 10th, 2009 at 1:13 am
I’m excited for this! I can’t wait to see the feathers flying and all of the fun stuff from Bella turning into a vampire to all of the imprinting. I think they could do a great job and it will be fun to watch!!
June 14th, 2009 at 5:38 pm
wow im so excited i have read all books and i loved ” twilight” when it came out ! i was worried that they weren’t gonna make the forth book ” breaking dawn” but my worries are fixed ! (:
June 16th, 2009 at 2:35 am
I have read all the books 2wice and watched the movie more.. I think they should make the 4th book, and yes as it is gory when I read I am in the book anyways so I am ready and if a parent lets there teenager read these books or the 4th one you have to know about the goriness and it is not any worse then these horror movies!! LOl but yes I am also looking forward to seeing how things will be portrayed in film.. I hope the end of the world doesn’t come before I get to see all of the movies..LOl J.k
Twilight Rocks!!!
June 16th, 2009 at 12:22 pm
Great, i cant wait the films all. and i dont think it will be so hard to make 4 film, in film industry have been harder films tooo. So cant wait..
June 18th, 2009 at 7:57 pm
I am MORE than in love with the twilight series, and im only 12, i spend my days googling everything about the books, and thier movies, i have read every book 35 times, no joke, ask my mom, well not really u dont know my mom, and i have seen the movie 120 times, also nojoke, i would be the most upset child in the world if they do not make breaking dawn.
June 20th, 2009 at 8:56 am
I think the books were awesome! I love Robert Pattinson, but I do hope on the next movies they include more events in the book they skipped alot of stuff in the first movie and some of the actors were not that great.
June 21st, 2009 at 12:31 am
I am certainly happy that Breaking Dawn is going to be a move
I’ve read all the books more than four times and I still laugh hysterically when Bella is attacked Jacob for imprinting on Renesemee (sp?). I am completely fascinated at Bella’s and Edward’s relationship, I sorely wish I had something like that. (Even if it was with a vampire)
But I still root for Jacob! Although Edward has a point in Eclipse when he tells Jacob that Bella won’t have a choice if he (Jacob) imprints on someone else.
But I cannot wait to see New Moon! It’s only June and I’m counting down the months to November! (20th to be specific) I know that they will certainly pull in more than enough money from New Moon that their movies will just get better and better.
I imagine Stephanie Meyer is a very rich woman right about now…
June 22nd, 2009 at 1:03 am
i’m so excited that there making breaking dawn a movie.. yes it’s probably gonna be difficult.. but i love the book, so I hope that when they write the script and make the movie, that they stick to the book as much as they can cuz that was an amazing book and there are so many great parts i would love to see in the movie.
June 24th, 2009 at 12:39 am
Yeaaah….BD the book was horrendous. I expect the movie will be about the same. It will be absolutely ‘something’ alright, but fantastic is not it!
*lol*….is that lame little nugget about “if you did not like Breaking Dawn, then you’re just not a TRUE Twilight fan!” still going around? Really? At least those that disliked the book can think for themselves. When people make that statement, it shouts that they are like mindless drones when it comes to Twilight, because it implies the major reason they LOVE the book is simply because it was another Twilight book featuring Edward and not because there is anything else worth liking the book for.
Oh, and Gaby? Seriously…..go outside and get some fresh air and get back in touch with real life. My word, love the series if you want, but don’t let it take over your life, as you appear to be letting it.
June 25th, 2009 at 12:39 am
GO SPARROW!!! ur so 100% correct b4 i seen the movie i hated twilight nd the whole obsession with it i still dnt like the obsession with robert pattinson honerstly yeah he looks good but idk…
now i hav read all the books i can understand the obsession with the books they’re hard to put dwn.
pplz u can thnk 4 urself if u dnt like the books or certain books its ur choice no ones gonna put a gun to ur head and say read it or tell u to watch the movie.
and gabby i thnk u majorly need to get a life how can u read the same ook 35 TIMES i mean cmon and the movie 120 TIMES OMG.
June 26th, 2009 at 7:53 am
Vampire sex at its best! Can’t wait for the movie!
June 30th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
Thats so cool! I can’t wait! I love the books and I love that they are making them into movies. I know some people get really tired of all the Twilight stuff, but not me. I couldn’t get enough I LOVE it!
July 2nd, 2009 at 12:11 am
im glad they would make the BD movie..
i’ve got worried when i heard that they cant do it..
i dont think it would be so difficult..
cause we’re on the computer generation..
i really love the story of BD..
i think Steph is naturally creative to the extream!
i mean like nessie’s birth,the imprinting and all that stuff..
its really fantastic!
it’s so hard to wait for the movies!
to Gabby’s critics:
he/she’s just a 12 year old kid..
let her/him have his/her fantasy world..
he/she’s still on the chilldhood stage.. =)
every ppl have their obsessions in life..
she/he’ll get over it..
just give the kid some time..
July 5th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
Breaking Dawn is the end of everything Twilight, if somebody dosn’t make this film, it just wont be fair to most of us Twilight fans. It should have all the gory scenes, and the sexy scenes, its what makes BD…BD
I’m a 19 year old, and i’ve watched Twlight pretty much everyday since i got it on April 6th…i went to see it 5 times at the cinema. I’ve read the books about 6 times each. Give the little kid [gabby] a break. If you get into something that much, you get into something that much. I’m not ashamed, nor will i ever be. I get some jokes made about me by my friends, but they’re just not interested in anything apart from going to the pub every sunday. If i did not read Twilight when i was 15 years old [2005] i would not have had any inspiration for my DDD Graded Art Asignment, and i wouldnt be going to a top class university.
All in all, without my obsession with all things Twilight, i would not be where i am today.
Go team jacob!
July 5th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
i love the twilight series!!!!!!!!!! i have a song that would go absolutly perfect with the movie!!!!!!!! it is like it was written for it!!!! i think i am talking for every twilight fan that walked the face of this earth that this is awsome!!!!!! it is “forever begins tonight” by patrizio……listen to it all the way through and think about edward the whole time!!!!!!!!! i hope stephenie see’s this!
July 29th, 2009 at 1:12 am
Loved all four books got them all, and Twilight DVD and CD and GAME lol,
Anyway I hope they do breaking dawn in two parts and release them say two weeks a part from each other. that way you can get everything in the movies from the book and you make more money lol
First Movies (BD) on Bella’s story and Jacob’s story, Second Movie (BD) Bella’s last story.
I do really hope there is a 5th book, I’m not done with the twilight saga yet and want more. Even us 32 years are into Twilight you know lol
July 30th, 2009 at 9:37 am
i think all the movies will be really good… bbut they are nothing compared to the book. I also think that it is a teenageres book and i dont think it shoould be r rated cause come on… its pretty weird if 25 yr olds are obsessed with a book about a frigid 18 yr old… bella probably acts more like 15 anyway.. but it think it will stil be amazong and i hope they do it well!!!! and to gaby.. i think it is weirder that 25 yr ols and 30 yr olds are obsessed with it than a 12 yr old..even if u have read it way to many times!!! but i do hope that they do a book from renesmeees point of view.. x
July 30th, 2009 at 4:43 pm
Oh My god, Anyone can read the books, who cares if your 12 or 88 just before someone is older than you. And yes my 12 has read the books aswell, Loves them aswell. But I don’t think there should be an age on the books as for the movies well I’m not to sure on, I feel it should be up to the mums and dads if they don’t want there child to see it.
August 3rd, 2009 at 10:28 pm
I’m soo glad they’re making Breaking Dawn. I read all four books and by far it was the best one. It’s my favorite book ever, and I’m 21, and I believe also that it’s for any age. It’s a love story that overcomes all obtacles in their way to just be happy with the one they love, and thats a type of story for any age. I know the moive is going to be great and i cant wait!!!!!!!!!!:D
August 6th, 2009 at 5:06 am
I think that if they make the sex scenes with the whole fade to black idea those of us with young teens wont worry too much about them seeing the movie. My 9 year old loves the first movie and talked us into taking her and her sister to forks this last winter and we had a blast. Seeing the place first hand gives you a better understanding of what bella saw. My wife and I have read all the books several times and r going to c the movies when they come out. Bu ti think that the movie will be in 2 parts being released about 5 or 6 months apart I would think. It seems that with eclipse coming out in june they would release the first part of breaking dawn in nov
August 6th, 2009 at 10:37 am
That Sparrow guy totally sucks! Is he depressed or something? If you don’t like the books,(or film) why go around all stropy about it?
Personally, i am Twilight’s biggest fan! (Honestley, you should see my bedroom!) And as for Gabby, good on you! These books don’t need an age restriction! As for the 4th book, as long as the parents say it’s ok, then it’s ok! Stop patrinising her!
(You have to learn about all ‘that’ stuff some time, anyway. And what’s better than with your favourite book characters?)
Breaking Dawn was my fave book!
Can’t wait to see the movie. Should be great!
One last note: Sparrow, how dare you destroy all those’ people’s dreams like that? And guess what? I’m younger that Gabby!
Didn’t think of that one, did you? MAWA HA HA!
August 7th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
I know Breaking Dawn had more than a few sex scenes in it, but I think Stephenie Meyer knew that teens would read it, so she didn’t describe the scenes in detail. All they would have to do for those parts is black out the screen like other movies do.
I don’t think the pregnancy would be hard: all Bella would have to do is scream sometimes…that’s why it’s called ACTING.
And for the child growing up quickly, there has got to be a group of kids that look alike. For goodness sakes, there’s like 6 billion people on the planet. Granted not all of them are white and young…but still. Most movies are challenges anyways.
August 7th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
they have to do breaking dawn so true to the book more than any others it is hands down my favourite i love when bella becomes a vampire teh arm wrestle when bella is training with her newly discovered shield watching nessie grow and communicate with all the family and when bella goes to meet j as a vampire her first contact with anyone in the outside and i love emmet and how he teases bella i hope they capture that because wright from the start bella and emmet have a awesome little playfull brother sister thing going on oh and teh wedding and the cottage esme alice and emmet do up for bella edward and nessie and the gathering of all the vamps how awesome were they described in the books imagine what th actors could bring to screen like tanya and the denali clan and the nomads and the amazons and need i say more nahuelbut i love the books so much more i have read them all at least nine times i have lost count i just keep reading over and over i am still not sick of them the movie i cant watch over and over they had so much to work but the movies so far havent measured i am a true fan of the books
August 8th, 2009 at 7:14 pm
I completely agree with Bri. they should make the Breaking Dawn Movie just as long as the Lord of the Rings to include every aspect of the book and tell the complete story from the wedding to the conception of delivery of renesmee, to Bella becoming a vampire to Jacob protecting Bella from the wolf pack. To standing against the Volturi with the many other Vampire covens around the world. I own all four books and ready each one twice and viewed the Twilight movie to many time to count. Can wait for the release of the New Moon Movie but needless to day the books are always better.
August 8th, 2009 at 7:52 pm
Unfortunately, I think that while LOTR was primarily appealing to hardcore fans and “serious-minded” older viewers, Hollywood is probably going to assume that most “Twilight” fans are simple, young and unwilling to sit through a long or complex movie. I expect something two hours or less and substantially dumbed down.
@Lady Di – The books are ALMOST always better than the movies. Notable exceptions are basically everything made in 1999: Fight Club, High Fidelity, Wonder Boys.
August 10th, 2009 at 9:10 am
Breaking Dawn will be AWESOME!!!!! And it has to be a least 3hours long. To Gabby: your to cute
! I just hope they don’t leave out ” Isle Esme”. All true Twilight fans will be planning Nov. 20th New Moon Nite out. Go Team Jakeward- love them both.
August 11th, 2009 at 7:33 am
OMG IM LIKE FREAKING OUT. my frinds reported rumors of no breaking dawn. IM SOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY
August 26th, 2009 at 10:32 pm
I just can’t wait for New Moon to get here. I’ve found out on line it will be the 19th Nov for New Zealand WOOHOO!!!! So can’t wait. I really hope there will be another book. Hint hint lol
October 30th, 2009 at 10:02 am
I’m soooooo excited for Breaking Dawn!!!!! They really have to do all of them now since they have done the first, second, and working on the third!!! Anyways, I’ve read all of the books, and love to be called Bella!!!
November 3rd, 2009 at 3:57 pm
People need to settle down about peoples age and the “obsession” about Twilight. Who cares how old or how young you are, Stephanie Meyer is an amazing, talented writer and I believe that people who are critical of her fans are morons! I am nearly 30 years old with two kids and I, along with my children, love the saga. I mean people who love Stars Wars aren’t judged for their age (HELLO 1-100!!!). Lets not hate on what people like, in this world it is nice to have some way to escape and I believe Stephanie gave that to us all. And if you don’t like the books or the movies then stay off the websites, I mean why do you even care!! As far as Breaking Dawn, lets keep it into one film (don’t split it up like Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows) and keep it to the book. If kids can handle reading the book then they should be able to handle the movie. The imagination is a much scarier place than what can be produced on the big screen!! PS- To Gabby, don’t let people’s words bother you. Be yourself and enjoy whatever kind of adventure, fantasy and love that you want!!
November 7th, 2009 at 10:52 pm
They didn’t stick exactly to the book for Twilight so I’m sure Breaking Dawn will be easy enough to edit. Why does the baby HAVE to claw it’s way out of Bella’s stomach? When you see women give birth on T.V shows and movies it’s not like they zoom in to show EVERYTHING. I think all the REAL fans want to see is the wedding, the honeymoon, the realization that Bella is pregnant and a teeny bit of amgst, Jacob trying to imprint on any woman then the discovery of Renesmee. Then a few key shots of Bella as a vampire, followed by a battle of wits against the Volturi and boom-there you have it! It’s brilliant without being rocket silence and personally I am such a huge fan that I would happily watch RP and KS act it out with sock puppets as opposed to it not happening at all.
A lot of people have said that Breakind Dawn lost it’s supense ‘cos Bella got married so quickly (bye bye love triangle) but personally I was still as nervous as hell that she’d end up with Jacob until he had safely imprinted on Reneesme.
November 10th, 2009 at 8:29 pm
ok when the twilight the movie first came out i had never even heard of it and my friend convinced me to see it with her-end result: I’m in love! I immediately read all 4 books and am now rereading them. I can’t wait for New Moon and I’m glad Eclipse is in the making. I really really really hope that Breaking dawn becomes a movie, because otherwise i will be completely left hanging not knowing what it would be like. Sure the movie will be hard, but aren’t all movies? please please please make this a movie, because then i will be so happy along with the other true twilight fans (aka the ones that want breaking dawn to be a movie). rate the movie R for all i care just PLEASE make breaking dawn, aka my favorite book, a movie. btw thank you Stephanie Meyer you are amazing and go TEAM JACOB
November 11th, 2009 at 3:16 pm
Breaking Dawn is my favorite book and it has to be made into a movie. Let’s finish the story…why get 3/4 saga and forget about the 1/4 portion that ties everything together? And who cares if its R-rated, but I believe that it could be done as a PG-13 which New Moon and Eclipse are and both of those have violence (honestly what vampire film doesn’t!) The sex is never actually described in the book it skips to the moments after and I have already stated my opinion on the birthing scene (three blogs back).
November 25th, 2009 at 4:45 am
to be honest i think they should do all the gruesome bits (Y)
and apparently there going to make it into too two movies!!
December 1st, 2009 at 9:45 am
OMG, they have to make the fourth movie!!! thatz my FAVORITE ONE
out of all of them! i can’t wait till its out on dvd in the year 2011, because ill watch it a MILLION times! i hope it comez out good because if they screw this up, im not gonna be happy. if they didn’t make the fourth movie, i would probably cry…
thatz how much i love it. and not to mention, edward and jacob are EXTREMLY HOT!!! -so YES people i am a true twifan!
December 6th, 2009 at 1:30 pm
k so obviously this is fake u people are completly stupid! k? it says rob is going to make the movie dont u people know how to read and have common sense?!
December 6th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
So is this movie going to be as bat-shit crazy as the book?
- a werewolf falling in love with a baby?
- a c-section using vampire teeth?
- Bella and Edward finally getting it on and he almost kills her during sex…twice?
- the vampire baby almost killing Bella while it’s in the womb?
- Edward trying to convince Bella to get an abortion?
Mind you, I haven’t seen any of the movies and got half of the first “book” read. I can’t believe people call this girl “talented”. I’ve also heard from some of my friends that do read a lot of young adult literature and were fans of the series that this book polarized and lost a lot of Twilight fans because it is so freaking out there. I doubt somehow an 11 year old and 12 year old has the depth to figure out what exactly is going on.
Then again, Meyer has the grammatical structure and writing style of a 9 year old and will be forgotten in a few short years as just another flash in the pan writer whose audience grew up and moved on to better things.
December 12th, 2009 at 11:20 pm
For all of you people who dont know what they will use for the half vampire/half human baby.THEY WILL FRICKEN COMPUTER GENERATE IT!! DUH!
December 12th, 2009 at 11:22 pm
p.s. CANT WAIT TIL THE MOVIE
December 15th, 2009 at 10:11 am
I am really glad, they making it a movie. Breaking dawn is the best book from the series and i think that it will just end the series so much better.
I really cant wait.
December 15th, 2009 at 1:13 pm
The amount of girls in this post depresses me. Where are you when we are talking about Supergirl, Wonder Woman and Ms Marvel?
December 31st, 2009 at 9:17 am
ok i think thatthey should be showing mainly bellas face in the birthing process so that ot can b rated pg-13. but use sound effects like when rob performs the c-section but show when he puts his venom in bella. stuff like that. and when they go swimming do not show like their bodies. just show their heads and feet.this way teens like myself will b able 2 c it and people wont be nauseated at the gour scenes.
April 18th, 2010 at 3:27 am
I am sure a tasteful balance between that what is shown and that what is left to the imagination will be struck by the movie-makers. Their target audience is the teen market, so they will not be so silly as to put the movie out of their reach. Sorta like pitching liquor ads at 13 year olds….in a roundabout way.
*insert manical laughter here*
Bye everyone.
Sebastian
July 5th, 2010 at 11:04 pm
I’ve read all the books and I love breaking dawn but it was kind of goryI want there to be a 4th movie but i dont want it to be
rated R! If they pull this movie off it will be amzing.
January 17th, 2011 at 5:33 pm
The layout is what really caught my eye, then the i looked at the writing and i think you did a very nice job. Good work:)
