Deadline.com is reporting that they have confirmed that Breaking Dawn will be split into two films! Read the announcement here!
I have this from several sources, and it’s definitive. Filming on the back-to-back movies would begin in mid-October, and Summit Entertainment is looking at “high-end” directors.
Due to the length of the prose novel, the book will be divided into 2 volumes and the release date for the second volume is forthcoming.
WOAHHHHH! Discuss in the comments!

where would they split it? sure its dramatic throughout but its not movie plot dramatic until the volturi arrive. gah lame
i voted not to be 2 differnet movies like rebekah17 said where wood they split it…………………. the jacob part ( i didnt even like the jacob part……. until the end!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the boths split into 3 sections…… what do you mean where would they split??
Best news I have heard this year! WooHoo!
I think they will split right at the point when Jacob is walking away from Bela after she has given birth to Renesme and Jacob is on his way to kill the baby. At least I think that is the ideal spot for the end of Breaking Dawn Part 1. I wonder what they will call the first and second parts of Breaking Dawn…lol.
totally…and go the climactic ending for those not inclined to read the book
Stephenie is in on it so if they adapt the name of the second one I'm happy with it.
Hmm maybe like 'Breaking Dawn: cool name no 1" then "Breaking Dawn: cool name no 2" though they already have the colon with the 'Twilight Saga' bit
Haha. ya- those are all really good points! haha- double colons probably wouldn't be the smartest move…
And- That would be a good splitting part, only Bella's dead then- and that could turn away many of Bella fans only following the films. u know?
That is a good idea!
I was thinking about the same thing. I think thats where they should split it. Even the book leaves me wanting more in that part.
omg i cant wait to c how they do the effects from this book
especially renesmee. should b interesting. i have a feeling we will b waiting a while for these to come out etc
wish eclipse stuff was being released already
ya! i cant wait to see renesmee!!!!!!!!!!! SHE BETTER be b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l!!!!!
yeah, prob a longer wait but totally worth it!
It's not true until Summit says it's true and so far they haven't.
i know Summit hasn't said anything yet, but I think it would be STUPID of them to not make it two movies. So it's pretty obvious that it will be two. This site still does offer good updates. If this was only about Twilight it would not be updated everyday. I like that it gives you updates about the actors and how they are growing from starting in Twilight.
i don't see why they have to split it into 2 films, the whole book is not going into the movie. Besides they said that they weren't sure if they should go with one or two yet.
GLORIOUS DAY!
oh happy day *starts singing*
oh my! now I'm gonna be fantasizing about what Bella's wedding dress is gonna look like onscreen XD
maaayun im gonna be happy & sad at the same time. i dont want the saga to end.. so soon too. :'(
*SPOILER* oh my god, imagine the amount of suspense when the first part of breaking dawn ends…it'll be unbearable, even to people wo have read it! haha! they'll probably end it when she's dying, and then we'll havta wait who knows how long to watch the second part. but i'm so glad they are!! GAHH!
YES! finally a slight insight on what is happening witht this book!!!!!
even though its not directly from summit, it gives us more of a mindset on what is probably gonna happen!!! woooot!!!
that means two more movies with taylor lautner and no shirt!!!!!!!!
yeh I totally agree with you!!
specially that part to see taylor lautner and no shirt!!
LOL
XD
go team taylor
and I can't wait to see the movies or movie… I really hope it will be two!!!
OMG
i'm really glad too because, if you think about it, all of the twilight hype is going to end as soon as the last movie comes out, which is depressing.
i don't ever want it to end! i wish stephenie would make more in bella's perspective; i think the series ended too suddenly.
I don't want it to be in two movies because I'll be all psyched for the first part and totally bummed if it ends in a bad spot and I have to wait months and months and months to see the rest. Totally lame.
the only bad thing bout them makin two movies is that wen they show the first one who knows how long they will make us wait for the second part
i think it will be a good idea only if they dont end it at a spot where it will drive everyone nuts and then not relase the second part for ever people are going to get mad and sick of the waiting really quick because when they said back to back with 2 and 3 there is 7 month wait…… point proven
Idk. I think like with the other movies they broke everything up and like left out some parts and its like whatever but with Breaking Dawn there is literally so much in rgards to the plot and like everything else that theres no way they can cut stuff out and people won't be pissed because EVERYTHING is important. I think they should make into two movies thats smart of them. I just hate having to wait for freaking like ever for theses movies to come out its soooooo annoying! I can't wait though. I think they'll rpobablly either split it at the part where she actually realizes that she's preggers or the part where she's like dying after she has the baby. But more than likely probablly at the part where Jake comes back to like kill the baby and then stops dead in his tracks because he imprinted on her. Idk, I'm just tryin to be positive and looking forward to all the movies and not trying to like judge them before they come out.
Omg final news. 2 or 1 movies its still going to be great. I cant wait.
Ah hah ahhhhh- i think I'm hyperventilating! two sides:
YAYYYYY!!!!!! that way you can get more into the movies
NOOO!!!!! Longer wait
hang on! no- three sides:
YAAYYYYY!!!! just because i luv anything that has to do with twilight!!!! eeekkkk!
Well if you feel that way why are you even on this site..you my friend are def.LEBITCH because this site is for fans of TWILIGHT and obviously since you are not dont be on here bringing everyone else down..thats all you are a downner ..so PLEASE find a different site to hate on The TWILIGHT SEREIES..because we dont appreciate your attitude one bit..be on you way OUTTA here!!
YEAH SHE'S RIGHT, NIKKI. YOU'RE BEING AN INCREDIBLY HUGE CUNT. WHY DON'T YOU GO AND FUCK OFF?
God you're a fuckin whore. You need to get the fuck off these comments pronto. Can't you see you're upsetting people? I feel so sorry for the LEBITCHes. I oughta give you a big kick in the ass, ya dumb broad.
People please just calm down! Just ignore Nikki, she has some major issues. So I think we should leave her to sort out her life. The poor bitch – she can't help herself.
I HAPPEN TO BE A FAN OF TWILIGHT, YOU FUCKING BITCH!! LEARN HOW TO SPELL, YOU TWAT!
OME!!!!!!! I'M SO EXCITED 4 BREAKING DAWN!!!!! I'M GOING TO B FANTASTIC!!!!!!!! EEEEKKKKKKKKKKKK
whoah thas soooo awesome XD
TWO EXTRA AWESOMENESS MOVIES XD XD XD
Pretty sure Summit released a statement saying that they haven't confirmed anything yet… I kind of miss the days when this site actually offered good news updates.
well then! talk about being slapped in the face with a sand-papery stick. If you can't say anything appreciative, don't say anything at all (at least when it comes to twilighters.org, they've been seriously improving the site lately!)
I was commenting on the journalistic integrity of their post. Please don't get me wrong, Twilighters.org was the first fan site I was ever involved in, and I'm thoroughly appreciative of everything they've done for the fandom and the ways they are improving their site. However, if they can't verify something before posting it, then they are no better than any other gossip sheet out there. A little bit of research on their part would have turned up that Summit's most recent statement was that “No decision has been made and as we have said all along we are continuing to work with Stephenie Meyer to bring BD to the big screen.” The last time I checked, it wasn't a crime to ask for some fact checking before making definitive statements like 'Confirmed Breaking Dawn Will Be Two Movies!'
waaaaaaaaaaaaaat? summit relased that statment like MONTHS ago….now they are conferming it-gosh cant you read the satement!!!!!!!! your ruining my happyNESS!
I don't care one way or the other. :Git it done!
OMG!!!! I REALLY CAN'T WAIT NOW!!!!!!!
hehe HI GRACE U SOOOOOOO RITE
OMG I LUV THE BKS THE FILM IS BOUND 2 B GR8, FANTASTIC OMG CANT W8.OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG :O
:O
:O
:O
:O
:O ) :O
:O hehe I CANT W8 OMG GRACE THIS IS GR8 INIT
OMG I AM SOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!! Grace Cullen hehe like the name Grace!x
I cant wait!! Its most likely gonna finish when jabob first see's renesmee, it makes the most sense, maybe they should finish it with bella's heart sounds beating in the background so the "team bella" people who havnt read the book, wont get dissapointed and refuse to watch the 2nd part. any why are people complainig about the wait between parts 1 and 2, the harry potter 7th film is in 2 parts, part 1 comes out 18 months after film 6 and part 2 comes out 9 months after that! part 2 will prob come out streight after part 1 finished on the cinema
I would love to be excited about this, but I am waiting until we get for sure confirmation from Summit. It's nice and all to get excited, but don't get too excited since this isn't from the source. Thanks for the pump up in my day though. It's always nice to return to this site and rekindle my fangirly-ness. :]
–Le sigh.
This site has gone way down hill. I used to be on here eeevery day..
Now I'm doubting if it's worth once a week?
The news just isn't what it used to be.
As for Breaking Dawn: I don't care what they do, as long as it turns out okay.
I totally disagree with you……
Out of the hundreds of emails I get every day, it is Twilight I always go first to…. I think you guys are doing a great job of keeping us informed!
yeh, totally!!!!__I get tons of e-mails every day tooo!__they are doing a great job!!!
i dont know, i think i would have to agree. i used to be on here twice a day. i havent been o for almost a week because nothing exciting is happening. i think its great that kristen and rob are getting these really awesome roles and stuff, but this is twilighters.org. not letsseewhatshappeninginrobandkristenslife.org. lol. i would prefer more things to be twilight centered.
OMG YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PRAISE THE LORD YESSSSS!!!!!!!! OMG OMG OMG OMG CANT WAIT TO SEE IT AT 12:01 am OMHG OMFG OMHG!!!!!!!!
-peace, love, & twilight<333333333333333
LOVE IT!!! THERE IS NO WAY THEY COULD HAVE ACCOMPLISHED BREAKING DAWN IN ONE MOVIE…
AT LAST….They Listen to the People/Fans!
Peace Out~
can't wait, thought it would be hard 2 watch 1 part and wait 4 the other 2 come out!
Part of me is really excited there is going to be two movies, you know? Two movies= two nights out, and something more to look forward too. Also, there is too much from the book to pack into one movie- then it would be long and leaving out lots of details. But at the same time, I want to see it and I want to see it now!
Two movies? Boyah!
It just means more Edward time!!!
Ugh! That means we'll have to wait EVEN LONGER for Breaking Dawn. :/
So, wait 2 movies or no? because some people said that it wasn't confirmed…so what one is it?
nooooo i wanted in one movie because you miss on so much of bella dieing if the dont have the jacob point of view ill be fine if the do do bellas point of view while shes dieing but its cool that breaking dawn is being made
yall dont forget eclipse aint even out yet lol! cant wait!!! I go for 2 movies because its a big book and i want them to put as many details into the movies as possible! 2 movies=more details. GO TEAM EDWARD:):):):):)
i think its better that they dividing it into 2 parts b cuz if they had to fit all that into 1 movie it really wouldnt tell the story as well. but i wonder how they are goin 2 split it because they just can't do one jacob part and one bella part because in the book it goes: bella, jacob, bella and it would be weird…..all i know is that this movie is gonna b off da chain!!! all twilight movies r!!!! GO TEAM EDWARD!!!! :]=
I honestly don't think they should spilt just cause the story didn't reach the climax all of us were expecting. Bd was great in bits but thw whole thing was a little bit off. I just feel like yet again they are making a profit out of it and not thinking much about how the book would turn out in the movie. though I don't mind if they changed the ending (the war pursuing) just to have a little more thrill (other than the honeymoon scenes of course) to the story. I'll watch it anyway.
They are trying to compete with Harry Potter….. I definitely think they could have made this into one movie. they will probably stop the first one after Jacob imprints….. so wait mayeb two moviees would work…. idk it should be interesting.
omg.. i'm soo excited. That is a good breaking point – where he wants to kill her.. but wherever they put it – i;m sure it'l be awsome. cant wait to see RENESME XDXD
I think it should definately be 2 movies, its a long book with so much detail if it was one movie they would have to cut tooo much out and that would suck. I think the first one should end when Jacob sees Renesme. it makes the most sense.
It sucks having to wait for the movies to come out, but its totally worth it. plus 2 movies equals more EDWARD!! and plus i dont want the saga to end!!!

k guys, just appreciate they're actually making the movie!
if this 2 movie split thing is really true, it'd be cool to make like a pre and post bella vampire thing. naaawts.
WHAT! BUT, BUT ,BUT,BUT.
Where would they stop it, I mean New Moon's dramatic ending "Bella will you marry me"? Well I was furious, though I new the answer to the question, and I want Breaking Dawn to be 1 movie because It is not fair in it being that long wait until the next one comes out.
I am speechless……. Fans come first aswell you know!!!!!!! (sorry if I sound cheesy I didn't mean to)
Great! Making two movies may hopefully allow them not to miss any important parts. Where to break it? Maybe as Bella's heart is slowing to a stop and she vaults into a corner reborn? I just hope there is not a huge time gap in the release of BD 1 and 2. I don't think my heart can take the wait!
*books
YAY!!!! JUMPING UP AND DOWN !!!! and people who dont like it……… thats dumb cuz u shioould b excited Twilight will last longer!! but what willl it be called?? Breaking dawn and breaking dawn 2??
um…well I'm happy that they'll start filming and stuff…..but I'll have to see where they stop in the 1st movie to see if i like it or not……all i have to say is they better no what they're doing or i know I'll get mad!!…but happy at least they are making the movies!!! u need to be positive
like what DENNY said hopefully they don't miss many parts in the movies
lol cant wait to see them 
i <3 Emmett!
Yay! I'm soooooooooooooooo excited!
i think its a good idea that its divided into 2 parts…that totally means they can put more details in each one! can't wait for eclipse!
Why Can't they just make it one giant big film thats like 7 hours long?!?!?!?!
That's actually better i think!!!!!!!!!
Just as long as we get bathroom breaks during each book. like pause it once book one, bella is done and the pause it when jacobs book is done.
Cuz i dont know about u Twilighters, but i cannot drink a large soda and then wait for 6 or 7 hours to pee it out. that happened to me during the midnight showing of New Moon. next time someone remind me to not drink all my soda at the opening credits!!!!!!!!!!! haha luv ya'll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m kind of glad that it’s gonna be two movies. But Renesmee better be beautiful!!!! If they use CGI or something, it’ll totally destroy the whole movie. And Bella’s wedding dress/outfit has got to be better than her prom getup. Leggings and converse sneakers? Grandm sweater? Gross.
I just hope everything works out for Breaking Dawn. It’s gonna be the last movie and it has to be the best!!!!
I think they would split it at the part where Bella just gave birth to Renesmee, Bella's heart stops, and Jacob imprints on Renesmee. Or when Bella wakes up to being a vampire…it would be cool if the final shot was like with her eyes flashing open, and they're blood red, then the movie could just end right there. That'd be cool.
I aguee with you. I think it will be really interesting.
yeh, def very cool!!
I think they should make the movie two films.The book is really big and it sounds really interesting to make two movies instead of one.
yes exactlyyyy!!! but as loong as they are finished filming and editing before someone gets too old!
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!I CAN’T WAIT! AAAAAAH! As for those of you who are being very pessimistic, please don’t rain down on other people’s party. You’re probably mad because it didn’t happen the way you wanted it to, but look on the bright side- we get to enjoy this even longer. =)
let's see the first movie will be 5 min of the marriage/honeymoon then will be 1 hr. 30 min of bella moaning and groining as she is getting bigger -next movie will be 5 min of delivery then 10 min of fake CGI renesme then 2 hrs of fight scene-sounds about MR style!!!
i hate this now we will half to what longer if you know what i mean
This is going to be very interesting to see how this turns out. I'm more curious than ever about who is going to direct! I hope they use the same directior for both movies, because if they dont, its just going to stuff up the whole thing. I'll be waiting crazy for it to come out. Wonder what they'll call it?? 'Breaking Dawn Part ONE'?
This is kind of like a Harry Potter repest, if you ask me. The last book is made into a movie. I'm interested to see where they cut it in half and also how the actor cope with the…er…awkwardness of Bella being pregnant. Picture KStew preggo? I cant……anyway maybe this will give Twilighters more anticipation..or could be a scheme to make more money. Its become a culture and hige franchise…what do you think??
How stupid. There isn’t enough to make 2 movies. It made sence with Harry Potter in the 7th film —too much to capture in one movie. They just want to cash in. Stephanie Meyer’s head is so big right now, I can’t believe she’s still standing. As they are splitting, I guess it would make sense to split after Bella changes, and Jacob has imprinted…or…after she has turned and all seems well….for a while.
I totally agree with bells! Plus Summit hasn't even confirmed it yet! You guys need to chill out before assuming its actually going to happen cause u never know…they could pull the plug on everything and say no but i highly doubt it since the Twilight franchise is Summits cash cow. Also would they be able to get the same actors? Would the same actors even be willing to do it? If i were you i would sit tight and wait for an official statement from Summit Entertainment…its great to have sites like twilighters.org but at the same time they need to review there facts before jumping ship here and going off post official statements and news…not what they have heard or who they think is a credible source
Idc if its 1 or 2 movies, i just want 2 c it !!!!!!!
OMG OMG OMG!! YES YES!!
i cant wait. theyre making a really smart move making Breaking Dawn into 2 movies. Im already excited for eclipse, let alone the 2 Breaking Dawn movies. I just hope That they keep everything in the movies. Like bella giving birth and everything.
This post was very nicely written, and it also contains a lot of useful facts. I enjoyed your professional way of writing this post. Thanks, you have made it very easy for me to understand.
