'Twilight' Fans May Get 3-D Wish For 'Breaking Dawn'

By Sarah Crow Posted Jul 12th 2010 04:00PM

'Twilight' fans may be able to get closer to Edward and Jacob than ever before if creative talks move forward to film the two-part 'Breaking Dawn' in 3-D.

Summit Entertainment, the studio behind the three previous films in the hit series, has recently finished production on 'Drive Angry,' a Nicholas Cage vehicle shot using 3-D cameras, leading many to wonder if 'Breaking Dawn' will receive the same treatment.

In an interview with MTV News, Summit's Head of Distribution, Richard Fay, said, "There's certainly a financial part of the discussion. And yes, there's a certain amount of technology that has to be considered and accounted for. But it really comes down to the creative folks ... If it lends itself to be a better movie because of 3-D, then that's the technology we'll use."

Despite the high ticket prices associated with 3-D films, 'Drive Angry' director Patrick Lussier believes that the format is a good fit for the box office draw. "I think Summit has been discovering, as they've been seeing the 3-D material and the ease we've been able to work with it, is that it's an incredibly viable format to work in."

Do you want 'Breaking Dawn' in 3-D?

P-L-E-A-S-E....Make the movies BOTH ways and give fans of the 4 books and past 3 movies a CHOICE. 3D is not of interest to everyone. Don't lock people in to only having one way to see the last two movies. Fans that have supported these projects deserve to have a choice.

By Alex

Good Lord no.
This should have no 3D just like The Last Airbender.
Just another way to make money I guess. But they really shouldn't, because they shouldn't be making it into two parts in the first place.

Who cares!!!

By Jenni

PLEASE NO 3-D!!!!! I want to be able to enjoy the movies without having to worry about throwing my neck out of wack!

By Nani

3D really? I don't know... Just make Breaking Dawn a Great 2 part film. Wedding, Honeymoon (Isle Esme), Pregnancy, Birth, Love Story, Bella's change of life as vampire. Of course, Edward and Jacob dealing with their issues. Breaking Dawn one of my fave of the 4 books as so Eclipse. Love all three movies.

Doing this movie in 3-D would take away from the movie more than adding to it. Many fans love the fact that even though it is Fantasy Fiction, the movies give it a more realistic feel by not being "high-tech" or relying on multitudes of CG. Releasing the movie in 3-D would diminish the realistic feel and therefore diminish the appeal for them as well.

I like the idea of the 1st part being 2D and the 2nd part 3D if they cut it off at Bella's tranformation...she does see things much different after her change so it would portray her view better.

u r a tard.

Fans should be able to have a choice. Do it both ways for those who DON'T like 3D...And since BD is going to be in two installments...why not release both Movies on the same day?? I'd love to watch BD part 1, and then go straight into seeing BD part 2. Since all the actors are making both movies at the same time, release them at the same time!!!

By Morgan

I don't see the point in making it 3-D. There's not a lot of action in the book. And it will most likely just take away from the quality of the film. It's a mostly romance series not an action packed flick.

By Sunny

No 3-D Please!! Just leave it as it is. No 3-D

honestly and withot any offense! can anyone tell that what can be the drawbacks of 3d version?

By Cali

It's a romance, why on earth would it need to be in 3D? There's barely a single bit of action in this book. We need to see Bella's bouquet jump out of the screen? Really?

By caraanise116

Oh my word! Stop trying to make EVERYTHING in 3-D!!! Just because AVATAR did it and made lots of money doesn't mean that every movie should do it! AVATAR got lots of money for its' GRAPHICS, not being 3-D. Get a clue.

By kristin

I am so SICK of every movie having to be put in 3-D! Enough already!!!!
