Summit Entertainment has denied reports that a decision has been made to split the fourth “Twilight” novel “Breaking Dawn” into two movies. But if the studio is planning to move forward with that plan, its lawyers should get busy locking in that cast first.

We’ve learned that no talent deals are in place with the principal actors to return for a fifth movie. And they’re not even close, we’re told. That means neither Kristen Stewart nor Robert Pattinson nor Taylor Lautner has yet signed on to a supersized “Breaking Dawn.”

That doesn’t mean it won’t happen, of course. After lengthy negotiations once “Twilight” became an international sensation, the stars are currently locked for the third movie (already finished and set for release in June) and a fourth to be filmed in the fall. But if Summit wants to extend the production schedule on “Breaking Dawn” and split it in two that will require a new deal for each of the actors. (The studio wouldn’t dare claim the bifurcated “Breaking Dawn” is just one long movie that happens to be released as two. The final “Harry Potter” book is being divided into two movies, and we’re told the talent deals were revised to pay the actors separately for both films.)

Reps for the “Twilight” clan are likely salivating at that prospect.The franchise has turned the trio into some of the hottest stars in town — and at this point, Summit can’t exactly recast. Lautner in particular has been running up his quote lately by signing on to a host of high-profile projects, demanding a reported $7.5 million for the upcoming “Northern Lights” and booking gigs as “Max Steel” and the toy-turned-tentpole “Stretch Armstrong.”

If you didnt read breaking Dawn, skip this post now!!!!

anyway, its nessie’s birthday, eddie and bella’s kin!, so lets all wish our fictional child a happy first birthday!!!

A long, long time ago, some of you may be old enough to remember when the Harry Potter book phenomenon exploded across the world. This was immediately followed by several lawsuits against J.K Rowling, who, according to lesser known authors, stole everything from plots to the name Harry. Too bad they were mostly just cries for attention.

Now Twilight author Stephenie Meyer can relate. Two weeks after allegations came out that she’d plagiarized portions of her novel Breaking Dawn from relatively unknown author Jordan Scott, she’s gone ahead and filed a suit against Meyer. Scott says the novels bear a striking resemblance to her novel The Nocturne, citing ‘plot lines, themes, dialogue, mood, setting, pace, characters, sequence of events [and] ideas’. 

Now, not to discredit Scott, but this SCREAMS ‘free publicity for my book no one knows about’. First of all, there are legitimate cases of idea theft and plagiarism where sentences in books are very slightly reorganized to pass as original, so this guy’s claims are pretty far-fetched. Not to diss on the horror genre, as a fan, but don’t MOST vampire books share a similar theme? Meyer has actually gone to some lengths to make her vampires, well, glittery and fangless. They can go out in daylight and knock you up. That’s not standard vampire lore. 

Meyer’s people agree with me. They issued a response to the lawsuit, calling it “completely without merit and simply a publicity stunt to further Ms. Scott’s career” and pointing out that Meyer wrote Breaking Dawn to follow up Forever Dawn, which was copy-written years before Scott’s novel appeared in portions on the internet.

After Robert Pattinson confirmed he was signed on  for the fourth Twilight installment, Breaking Dawn, back in Cannes, we’ve all been dying for more juicy deets on the hypersexualized film. (More on exactly how much naughtier the flick will be, next week.)

Yes, we know we’re getting overeager since the script for the third flick, Eclipse, which starts shooting Aug. 17, hasn’t even been finished yet.

“I haven’t seen a page,” exclaimed Ashley Greene, who’s heading back up to Vancouver to shoot the third Twi flick this summer.

Even though we’re getting a tad ahead of ourselves, we tried to pry any dirt out of Ashley and Billy Burke last weekend on what’s in store for the final movie.

Read on:

“All I know is that, as of now, I only signed on to do three,” B.B. told us. Coyly played Billy. Maybe he’s just trying to keep all Twi dirt on the down-low, or it could be that the secondary castmembers haven’t started negotiations. Rob and Kristen Stewart are locked in (after so much drama you have no idea—but you’re not interested in that, right?), so that’s all that matters.

After Robert Pattinson’s announcement that Breaking Dawn, the fourth book in Stephenie Meyer’s ridiculously popular Twilight Saga, will hit the big screen, we got to thinking: Will it make a good movie? And more important, will it turn out better than the book?

Breaking Dawn is very different from the first three novels in the series  and saw numerous mixed reviews during its release week. The millions-strong fan base was divided — everyone either loved it or hated it.

We’ve come up with 10 ways the movie could either rake in major box-office bucks or epically fail in a way not seen since Speed Racer dropped off the face of the planet. Even Pattinson might not be enough to save this one.

LA Times have an article discussing who should direct the fourth Twilight movie, Breaking Dawn.

“Breaking Dawn” will see the light of day and that’s exciting news for “Twilight” fans who thought it couldn’t be done.

With countless challenges ahead for anyone hired to helm the project, Summit would be well advised to take their buckets of cash and invest in a director who knows makeup, special effects and young love and won’t balk at the thought of a rapidly growing vampire baby. Not to mention inheriting the vampires and werewolves of past directors Catherine Hardwicke, Chris Weitz and David Slade.

Who is worthy of such a challenge? We’ve thought of six so far….

Peter Jackson: The “Lord of the Rings” series — “The Fellowship of the Ring,” “The Two Towers” and “The Return of the King” — and “King Kong”

Guillermo del Toro: “Pan’s Labyrinth,” “Hellboy,” “Hellboy II: The Golden Army” and “The Hobbit”

Len Wiseman: “Underworld,” “Underworld: Evolution” and “Live Free or Die Hard”

Andrew Adamson: “Shrek,” “Shrek 2,” “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” and “Prince Caspian.”

Sam Raimi: “Spider-Man” 1-4, “Drag Me to Hell,” “The Evil Dead” and “Army of Darkness”

Alfonso Cuarón: “Great Expectations,” “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban,” “Paris, je t’aime” and “Children of Men”
