Twilight Producer Wyck Godfrey Confirms “Every Intention To Make Breaking Dawn”
Okay, you guys don’t have any time forTwilight, I get it. But what do you know about how utterly bizarre – and seemingly unmarketable – the fourth book in the series,Breaking Dawngets? It’s not your standard mopey emo fare, that’s for sure.
There’s been plenty of speculation about when, or even if, Summit could bringBreaking Dawnto the screen. It’s a story that features a surprising amount of sex, even some rather surreal sex, and perhaps some transgressive sexual perversity – some notches beyond the vamp biting stuff from the series overall, which is a “safe” sexual metaphor acceptable for the tween market now, it would seem.
According to a new video interview withMaking Of, clearly conducted beforeNew Moonwas released to record breaking bank, producer Wyck Godfrey promises that a big screen adaptation of the series' final volume will follow. “There’s every intention to makeBreaking Dawn”, he simply states. Does it really need to get any more official than that? Here’s the video.
I really don’t know why anybody should be more interested in seeingBreaking DawnthanTwilight,New Moonor theEclipseone, neither buying into either the It’s-So-Bad-It’s-Good mindset nor any desire to see this whole emotween phenom go batcrap crazy and implode. Aren’t bad films just bad? I certainly don’t find them funny. Sad and pathetic, sometimes, but mainly tiring and infuriating.
I dread to think what would happen if the soft outer rings ofTwilightviewers were suddenly plunged into theBreaking Dawnnovel’s world of toxic vampire super-sperm and Wolfboy baby love (as in, Jacob Black falls in love – “romantic love” – with aninfant). I’m quite sure things will be… er… tidied up a bit in the screenplay adaptation. Perhaps that’s what is delaying the announcement of a start date? Perhaps teamTwilightare trying to rework the material in a way that they’ll still be able to get a PG-13 rating at the same time as at least loosely resembling their source.
