“Needless to say, the case seems to me terribly unfair and I would like to do what I can to address this,” Weitz wrote in an e-mail.The 22-year-old Tumpach could …

Watch out guys, if you’re receiving e-mails regarding Breaking Dawn’s casting, it’s FAKE!! Scam!

Twilight fans have blown the lid off of a scam preying on devoted followers of the Twilight film franchise. Bogus e-mails announcing fake casting calls for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — the potential fourth film in the wildly-popular saga — have been popping up on Twilight fansites and in the inboxes of Twi-Hards all of the country in recent weeks, according to The Casting Scoop.

The e-mails encourage applicants interested in walk-on parts and role as extras in the next Twilight film to apply immediately, promising pay ranges from $80-250 after forking over a “registration fee” to a casting website.

“First of all, I knew it wasn’t credible because ‘Breaking Dawn’ doesn’t go into production for several months, so no casting director would have been hired yet,” says Casting Director Lana Veenker, who handled Northwest casting on the first Twilight film. “Also, the shoot location hasn’t even been announced! How would anyone even know which city or country to be casting in?”

Okay, so many rumors have been floating online that Breaking Dawn would be made into 2 movies and MTV posted an article concerning that rumor!! So, nothing’s official, hope it’s not true, I’d Breaking Dawn in one movie cuz I can’t wait another year for the other part to come out :S So let it be a 3 hours and a half movie like Lord of the Rings By the way, this is MY OWN OPINION, not the site’s or anyone else’s. Anything I post with an opinion in it then it’s my point of view

… Summit Entertainment might have been listening — that or they’re thrilled with the impressive box-office take of “New Moon” in its first two weeks. According to a report in Variety, the “Breaking Dawn” gig is Weitz’s if he wants it, though no official offer has been made. What’s more, it might actually turn out to be two gigs. As has long been rumored, sources told Variety that Summit plans to split the final book into two separate movies, to be shot back to back.

Both films would likely be scripted by Melissa Rosenberg, who has penned the first three adaptations in the franchise. Meyer must first approve the two-movie decision.

One of the key impediments in making two “Breaking Dawn” flicks is that Summit would have to reopen negotiations with Stewart and co-stars Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, who are signed up for only four films. Following the two-week, $231 million domestic haul of “New Moon,” the stars could command payment in the eight-figure range, according to Variety. …
