From Chris Weitz – Hi! Welcome to the official New Moon twitter account. This is my first ever tweet so be gentle with me.

Summit just informed us that all the cast rumors regarding the production of ‘Breaking Dawn’ areFALSE!!

Please disregard any information regarding casting for BREAKING DAWN.

Lana Veenker also contacted us about the rumors:

For the record, we have not yet been contacted by production about this possibility and have not been hired to provide casting services.

There is no need to inundate our mailboxes with materials (or goodness forbid, swamp our phone lines or email inboxes). Our small staff and limited resources make it impossible for us to consider ANY submissions or inquiries at this time. Please save your money and spare us from the onslaught!

If “Breaking Dawn” is going to be made into a movie is something that has pretty much already been confirmed by Summit. MTV talks to Ashley Greene about it.

The cast of “Twilight” has already wrapped the second film in the franchise, “New Moon,” and is just in the beginning stages of filming the third, “Eclipse.” But there has yet to be any official word that the series will extend to a fourth film.
With a fourth book in the “Twilight” series, there’s a good chance that Twilighters will get to see all their favorite vampires, werewolves and mortals come back for a film version of “Breaking Dawn.” But Ashley Greene, who will be MTV News’ VMA fashion correspondent on Sunday, can’t make any promises just yet.
“I think it’s expected to do a fourth one. I definitely think that they want to,” she told MTV News. “But again it depends on how the second one does, and the third one.”

**Thanks Summit for the news!

Booboo Stewart recently spoke with Access Hollywood in a video interview (a few posts down) in which he told them that there will be a fifth installment of the Twilight saga. This is something Summit Entertainment now are confirming is false, there are no guarantees at this state that the movie will be split into two parts.

However, a rep for Summit Entertainment – the studio behind the hit vampire film franchise – has now told Access that BooBoo (who will join the big screen saga as wolfpack member Seth Clearwater in the next installment) was premature in his statements.

“We appreciate our young actor’s enthusiasm for the franchise and his role, but his comments about the number of films were unfortunately uninformed and not accurate,” the Summit rep said in a statement to Access.
