We just went through Harry Potter info previously, so might as well balance it out with another franchise that also has captured the imagination of tweens, the Twilight saga. Ya know, I remember the days when Vampires used to be feared but now those bloodsucking creatures are adored by fangirls everywhere, the world has gone out of control.
According to The Wrap, the planning stages have started for the fourth installment, BREAKING DAWN. Here’s how it all might go down. NEW MOON, directed by Chris Weitz, is currently filming with an estimated time of completion in May. The stars will take a break until November, when the movie hits theaters and then shortly after that they will get back to work again for ECLIPSE with a summer release in June 2010, no directors have been officially announced to take on this project yet.
After those two titles, BREAKING DAWN will start production in late Spring of 2010, scheduled for release at the end of that very same year. If this is true, then it’s gotta be one of the fastest produced franchise ever, 4 movies in 3 years.
Now, Summit Entertainment has no comment and doesn’t confirm anything regarding BREAKING DAWN. Some say the book was the least favorite in the series so Summit might not even plan on turning that story into a movie at all,.. it would just settle for a trilogy and that’s it.
My question is.. after Harry Potter is over and Twilight is done with… which other fantasy/adventure franchise will get to be the next fad and sit on the throne?
