Twilight Saga News for Dec 1

Pattinson: Twilight abstinence sexy
Robert Pattinson believes the Twilight movies are a metaphor for sexual abstinence.
The 23-year-old star plays vampire Edward Cullen in the saga, who is unable to have a sexual relationship with a human because he fears that if he goes further than a kiss, his emotions and the power of his body may injure his beloved. Link...

'Twilight: Breaking Dawn' may be broken in two movies

Moviegoers may get an extra chance to visit the world of "Twilight."
With the third installment, "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse," nearly done, Summit Entertainment is prepping to adapt the series' fourth and final book. "Breaking Dawn," though, is weighty enough that the studio is contemplating splitting it into two films, according to Variety.
Thing is, Summit only contracted the lead actors, director Chris Weitz and screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg for four films, and the agreement with series author Stephenie Meyer is also only for four films.
Are we worried? No. The box-office success of "Twilight" and "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" should help all involved see why an extra payday is worth the time.
More worrisome is "Breaking Dawn's" subject matter. Spoilers follow!
