By letting all his Twilight fans know that Breaking Dawn, the fourth and final installment in the Twilight saga, could indeed be on its way to the big screen. Or so that’s what he has penciled into his schedule for next fall, he said. This latest tidbit has already been scooped on Hitfix.com and Cinematical.com, of course, but I was there when he said it today, being one of the cool kids sitting in a four-hour marathon press conference with almost EVERYONE involved in the upcoming New Moon. Yeah, I was in on the “know” (more New Moon coverage to come).
The third installment, Eclipse, just wrapped with a new director, 30 Days of Night‘s David Slade, but there has been speculation on whether Breaking Dawn is going to get made, since it’s the most controversial, and apparently, the goriest of the Twilight series. At this point, Summit Entertainment hasn’t announced any plans, and there is no director attached. Still, if Pattinson has it penciled in, that’s a promising sign, don’t you think?
Young Rob Pat, with the wild hair, the shy smile and self-depreciating demeanor, also talked about a few other projects he’ll be involved in next year, including Unbound Captives, a period Western co-starring Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz and written and directed by actress Madeline Stowe in her debut. I was literally just talking about her with my husband, wondering what she was doing these days, after we watched Unlawful Entry, that creepy thriller she’s in with Kurt Russell and Ray Liotta. And now I know!
