cool! i can’t wait! =D
That is how it should be. Even Stephenie Meyer said that it would have been very hard to fit all of the pieces of the story into a 90 minute movie. Now I want to know what the cut off point will be. Will it end with Bella becoming a vampire? Or any other point in the book? 🙂
sooooo cool cant waite 🙂
I’m happy that it’s going to be 2 films, but I also heard that they’re considering 3-D for the Breaking Dawn. I really hope that they don’t. There’s no reason for BD to be in 3-D.
