Robert Pattinson on Twilight: Breaking Dawn

Summit Entertainment can hardly be accused of hanging around where the Twilight movies are concerned. It's been twelve months since the first film hit big, and made global stars of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. And already? Summit has the next two films shot, with New Moon arriving in cinemas in just under a fortnight.

But where does that leave the fourth film in the series, Breaking Dawn? Given that New Moon and Eclipse are set to be released around eight months apart, can we expect it at the end of next year?

No. No we can't. For as he undertakes promotional duties for the incoming New Moon, Robert Pattinson has revealed that there might be a slightly longer wait for the fourth Twilight movie. Not a huge wait, granted, but a wait nonetheless.

Talking to Collider, Pattinson was directly asked about the fate of Breaking Dawn, and he told the site that with regards the shoot of the film, "I think the tentative time for Breaking Dawn is fall of next year."

This does confirm the thus-far unconfirmed, that Breaking Dawn is indeed being turned into a movie. That said, we'd have been gobsmacked if it wasn't. But if the shoot is scheduled for the later part of next year, we suspect that lands Twilight: Breaking Dawn as the latest contestant in the jam-packed summer blockbuster battle of 2011. Failing that, Summit may hold it to the end of 2011, but given how keen it is to get these films into cinemas quickly, we're going with summer 2011.
